* Allow Memoize to operate in binary comparison modeDavid Rowley2021-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Memoize would always use the hash equality operator for the cache key types to determine if the current set of parameters were the same as some previously cached set. Certain types such as floating points where -0.0 and +0.0 differ in their binary representation but are classed as equal by the hash equality operator may cause problems as unless the join uses the same operator it's possible that whichever join operator is being used would be able to distinguish the two values. In which case we may accidentally return in the incorrect rows out of the cache. To fix this here we add a binary mode to Memoize to allow it to the current set of parameters to previously cached values by comparing bit-by-bit rather than logically using the hash equality operator. This binary mode is always used for LATERAL joins and it's used for normal joins when any of the join operators are not hashable.

* Add equalimage B-Tree support functions.Peter Geoghegan2020-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Invent the concept of a B-Tree equalimage ("equality implies image equality") support function, registered as support function 4. This indicates whether it is safe (or not safe) to apply optimizations that assume that any two datums considered equal by an operator class's order method must be interchangeable without any loss of semantic information. This is static information about an operator class and a collation. Register an equalimage routine for almost all of the existing B-Tree opclasses. We only need two trivial routines for all of the opclasses that are included with the core distribution. There is one routine for opclasses that index non-collatable types (which returns 'true' unconditionally), plus another routine for collatable types (which returns 'true' when the collation is a deterministic collation). This patch is infrastructure for an upcoming patch that adds B-Tree deduplication.

* Teach datum_image_eq() about cstring datums.Peter Geoghegan2019-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Bring datum_image_eq() in line with datumIsEqual() by adding support for comparing cstring datums. An upcoming patch that adds deduplication to the nbtree AM will use datum_image_eq(). datum_image_eq() will need to work with all datatypes that can be used as the storage type of a B-Tree index column, including cstring. (cstring is used as the storage type for columns of type "name" as a space-saving optimization.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAH2-Wzn3Ee49Gmxb7V1VJ3-AC8fWn-Fr8pfWQebHe8rYRxt5OQ@mail.gmail.com
* Catch invalid typlens in a couple of placesPeter Eisentraut2019-11-04
| | | | | | | | | | Rearrange the logic in record_image_cmp() and datum_image_eq() to error out on unexpected typlens (either not supported there or completely invalid due to corruption). Barring corruption, this is not possible today but it seems more future-proof and robust to fix this. Reported-by: Peter Geoghegan <pg@bowt.ie>
* Split tuptoaster.c into three separate files.Robert Haas2019-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | detoast.c/h contain functions required to detoast a datum, partially or completely, plus a few other utility functions for examining the size of toasted datums. toast_internals.c/h contain functions that are used internally to the TOAST subsystem but which (mostly) do not need to be accessed from outside. heaptoast.c/h contains code that is intrinsically specific to the heap AM, either because it operates on HeapTuples or is based on the layout of a heap page. detoast.c and toast_internals.c are placed in src/backend/access/common rather than src/backend/access/heap. At present, both files still have dependencies on the heap, but that will be improved in a future commit. Patch by me, reviewed and tested by Prabhat Sabu, Thomas Munro, Andres Freund, and Álvaro Herrera. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmoZv-=2iWM4jcw5ZhJeL18HF96+W1yJeYrnGMYdkFFnEpQ@mail.gmail.com
* Fix optimization of foreign-key on update actionsPeter Eisentraut2019-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In RI_FKey_pk_upd_check_required(), we check among other things whether the old and new key are equal, so that we don't need to run cascade actions when nothing has actually changed. This was using the equality operator. But the effect of this is that if a value in the primary key is changed to one that "looks" different but compares as equal, the update is not propagated. (Examples are float -0 and 0 and case-insensitive text.) This appears to violate the SQL standard, and it also behaves inconsistently if in a multicolumn key another key is also updated that would cause the row to compare as not equal. To fix, if we are looking at the PK table in ri_KeysEqual(), then do a bytewise comparison similar to record_image_eq() instead of using the equality operators. This only makes a difference for ON UPDATE CASCADE, but for consistency we treat all changes to the PK the same. For the FK table, we continue to use the equality operators.

* MAXALIGN the target address where we store flattened value.Amit Kapila2018-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | The API (EOH_flatten_into) that flattens the expanded value representation expects the target address to be maxaligned. All it's usage adhere to that principle except when serializing datums for parallel query. Fix that usage.

* Fix datumSerialize infrastructure to not crash on non-varlena data.Tom Lane2017-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 1efc7e538 did a poor job of emulating existing logic for touching Datums that might be expanded-object pointers. It didn't check for typlen being -1 first, which meant it could crash on fixed-length pass-by-ref values, and probably on cstring values as well. It also didn't use DatumGetPointer before VARATT_IS_EXTERNAL_EXPANDED, which while currently harmless is not according to documentation nor prevailing style. I also think the lack of any explanation as to why datumSerialize makes these particular nonobvious choices is pretty awful, so fix that. Per report from Jarred Ward. Back-patch to 9.6 where this code came in. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6F61E6D2-2F5E-4794-9479-A429BE1CEA4B@simple.com

* Fix problems with ParamListInfo serialization mechanism.Robert Haas2015-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d1b7c1ffe72e86932b5395f29e006c3f503bc53d introduced a mechanism for serializing a ParamListInfo structure to be passed to a parallel worker. However, this mechanism failed to handle external expanded values, as pointed out by Noah Misch. Repair. Moreover, plpgsql_param_fetch requires adjustment because the serialization mechanism needs it to skip evaluating unused parameters just as we would do when it is called from copyParamList, but params == estate->paramLI in that case. To fix, make the bms_is_member test in that function unconditional. Finally, have setup_param_list set a new ParamListInfo field, paramMask, to the parameters actually used in the expression, so that we don't try to fetch those that are not needed when serializing a parameter list. This isn't necessary for correctness, but it makes the performance of the parallel executor code comparable to what we do for cases involving cursors. Design suggestions and extensive review by Noah Misch. Patch by me.
* Parallel executor support.Robert Haas2015-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This code provides infrastructure for a parallel leader to start up parallel workers to execute subtrees of the plan tree being executed in the master. User-supplied parameters from ParamListInfo are passed down, but PARAM_EXEC parameters are not. Various other constructs, such as initplans, subplans, and CTEs, are also not currently shared. Nevertheless, there's enough here to support a basic implementation of parallel query, and we can lift some of the current restrictions as needed. Amit Kapila and Robert Haas
* Support "expanded" objects, particularly arrays, for better performance.Tom Lane2015-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces the ability for complex datatypes to have an in-memory representation that is different from their on-disk format. On-disk formats are typically optimized for minimal size, and in any case they can't contain pointers, so they are often not well-suited for computation. Now a datatype can invent an "expanded" in-memory format that is better suited for its operations, and then pass that around among the C functions that operate on the datatype. There are also provisions (rudimentary as yet) to allow an expanded object to be modified in-place under suitable conditions, so that operations like assignment to an element of an array need not involve copying the entire array. The initial application for this feature is arrays, but it is not hard to foresee using it for other container types like JSON, XML and hstore. I have hopes that it will be useful to PostGIS as well. In this initial implementation, a few heuristics have been hard-wired into plpgsql to improve performance for arrays that are stored in plpgsql variables. We would like to generalize those hacks so that other datatypes can obtain similar improvements, but figuring out some appropriate APIs is left as a task for future work. (The heuristics themselves are probably not optimal yet, either, as they sometimes force expansion of arrays that would be better left alone.) Preliminary performance testing shows impressive speed gains for plpgsql functions that do element-by-element access or update of large arrays. There are other cases that get a little slower, as a result of added array format conversions; but we can hope to improve anything that's annoyingly bad. In any case most applications should see a net win. Tom Lane, reviewed by Andres Freund

* Support varlena fields with single-byte headers and unaligned storage.Tom Lane2007-04-06
| | | | | | | | | This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple (without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields. While all available regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and cranny, especially in contrib. Greg Stark with some help from Tom Lane
* Replace direct assignments to VARATT_SIZEP(x) with SET_VARSIZE(x, len).Tom Lane2007-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly; and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope to play any games with the representation of varlena headers. Greg Stark and Tom Lane

* Restructure index AM interface for index building and index tuple deletion,Tom Lane2001-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | per previous discussion on pghackers. Most of the duplicate code in different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about inserting recently-dead tuples, etc. (I also removed support for EXTEND INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and it cluttered the code a lot.) The retail indextuple deletion routines have been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside the access method. I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet, but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping for deletions. Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns. Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this, gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with the performance problems we've heard about occasionally). Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static state that needs to be reset after an error. We discovered this need long ago for btree, but missed the other guys. Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.
