| | | | | | | | Adds another introspection feature for partitioning, necessary for further psql patches. Reviewed-by: Michaël Paquier Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20190226222757.GA31622@alvherre.pgsql
* Consider only relations part of partition trees in partition functionsMichael Paquier2019-03-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the partition functions so as tables and indexes which are not part of partition trees are handled the same way as what is done for undefined objects and unsupported relkinds: pg_partition_tree() returns no rows and pg_partition_root() returns a NULL result. Hence, partitioned tables, partitioned indexes and relations whose flag pg_class.relispartition is set are considered as valid objects to process. Previously, tables and indexes not included in a partition tree were processed the same way as a partition or a partitioned table, which caused the functions to return inconsistent results for inherited tables, especially when inheriting from multiple tables.

* Make pg_partition_tree return no rows on unsupported and undefined objectsMichael Paquier2019-03-01
| | | | | | | | | | | The function was tweaked so as it returned one row full of NULLs when working on an unsupported relkind or an undefined object as of cc53123, and after discussion with Amit and Álvaro it looks more natural to make it return no rows.

* Add pg_partition_root to display top-most parent of a partition treeMichael Paquier2019-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | This is useful when looking at partition trees with multiple layers, and combined with pg_partition_tree, it provides the possibility to show up an entire tree by just knowing one member at any level.

* Tweak pg_partition_tree for undefined relations and unsupported relkindsMichael Paquier2018-12-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | This fixes a crash which happened when calling the function directly with a relation OID referring to a non-existing object, and changes the behavior so as NULL is returned for unsupported relkinds instead of generating an error. This puts the new function in line with many other system functions, and eases actions like full scans of pg_class.

* Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.Andres Freund2018-11-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

* Add pg_partition_tree to display information about partitionsMichael Paquier2018-10-30
This new function is useful to display a full tree of partitions with a partitioned table given in output, and avoids the need of any complex WITH RECURSIVE query when looking at partition trees which are deep multiple levels. It returns a set of records, one for each partition, containing the partition's name, its immediate parent's name, a boolean value telling if the relation is a leaf in the tree and an integer telling its level in the partition tree with given table considered as root, beginning at zero for the root, and incrementing by one each time the scan goes one level down.
