* Revise hash join and hash aggregation code to use the same datatype-Tom Lane2003-06-22
| | | | | | | | specific hash functions used by hash indexes, rather than the old not-datatype-aware ComputeHashFunc routine. This makes it safe to do hash joining on several datatypes that previously couldn't use hashing. The sets of datatypes that are hash indexable and hash joinable are now exactly the same, whereas before each had some that weren't in the other.

* Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headersTom Lane2002-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | (overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
* oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian2002-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar

* pg_class has a relnamespace column. You can create and access tablesTom Lane2002-03-26

* I've attached a patch which implements Bob Jenkin's hash function forBruce Momjian2002-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL. This hash function replaces the one used by hash indexes and the catalog cache. Hash joins use a different, relatively poor-quality hash function, but I'll fix that later. As suggested by Tom Lane, this patch also changes the size of the fixed hash table used by the catalog cache to be a power-of-2 (instead of a prime: I chose 256 instead of 257). This allows the catcache to lookup hash buckets using a simple bitmask. This should improve the performance of the catalog cache slightly, since the previous method (modulo a prime) was slow. In my tests, this improves the performance of hash indexes by between 4% and 8%; the performance when using btree indexes or seqscans is basically unchanged. Neil Conway <neilconway@rogers.com>
* Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian2002-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.
* Catcaches can now store negative entries as well as positive ones, toTom Lane2002-03-03
| | | | | | | | | | speed up repetitive failed searches; per pghackers discussion in late January. inval.c logic substantially simplified, since we can now treat inserts and deletes alike as far as inval events are concerned. Some repair work needed in heap_create_with_catalog, which turns out to have been doing CommandCounterIncrement at a point where the new relation has non-self-consistent catalog entries. With the new inval code, that resulted in assert failures during a relcache entry rebuild.

* A bunch of changes aimed at reducing backend startup time...Tom Lane2002-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed. Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during relcache load. Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi, move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and does not need any expensive initialization. Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan (this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).

* Rearrange fmgr.c and relcache so that it's possible to keep FmgrInfoTom Lane2001-10-06
| | | | | | | | | lookup info in the relcache for index access method support functions. This makes a huge difference for dynamically loaded support functions, and should save a few cycles even for built-in ones. Also tweak dfmgr.c so that load_external_function is called only once, not twice, when doing fmgr_info for a dynamically loaded function. All per performance gripe from Teodor Sigaev, 5-Oct-01.
* Restructure pg_opclass, pg_amop, and pg_amproc per previous discussions inTom Lane2001-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent. pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands. Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass. Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's IndexScanOK. Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane. initdb forced.

* Clean up some longstanding problems in shared-cache invalidation.Tom Lane2001-06-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | SI messages now include the relevant database OID, so that operations in one database do not cause useless cache flushes in backends attached to other databases. Declare SI messages properly using a union, to eliminate the former assumption that Oid is the same size as int or Index. Rewrite the nearly-unreadable code in inval.c, and document it better. Arrange for catcache flushes at end of command/transaction to happen before relcache flushes do --- this avoids loading a new tuple into the catcache while setting up new relcache entry, only to have it be flushed again immediately.
* Do some restructuring to improve performance of the catcaches. TeachTom Lane2001-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CatalogCacheFlushRelation (formerly called SystemCacheRelationFlushed) how to distinguish tuples it should flush from those it needn't; this means a relcache flush event now only removes the catcache entries it ought to, rather than zapping the caches completely as it used to. Testing with the regression tests indicates that this considerably improves the lifespan of catcache entries. Also, rearrange catcache data structures so that the limit on number of cached tuples applies globally across all the catcaches, rather than being per-catcache. It was a little silly to have the same size limit on both, say, pg_attribute caches and pg_am caches (there being only four possible rows in the latter...). Doing LRU removal across all the caches instead of locally in each one should reduce cache reload traffic in the more heavily used caches and improve the efficiency of cache memory use.
* Clean up some minor problems exposed by further thought about Panon's bugTom Lane2001-06-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | report on old-style functions invoked by RI triggers. We had a number of other places that were being sloppy about which memory context FmgrInfo subsidiary data will be allocated in. Turns out none of them actually cause a problem in 7.1, but this is for arcane reasons such as the fact that old-style triggers aren't supported anyway. To avoid getting burnt later, I've restructured the trigger support so that we don't keep trigger FmgrInfo structs in relcache memory. Some other related cleanups too: it's not really necessary to call fmgr_info at all while setting up the index support info in relcache entries, because those ScanKeyEntry structs are never used to invoke the functions. This should speed up relcache initialization a tiny bit.

* A catalog cache that never caches isn't much of a cache :-(. Mea culpa.Tom Lane2000-11-24
| | | | Thanks to Brian Hirt for pointing out the performance lossage.
* Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count isTom Lane2000-11-16
| | | | | | | maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
* Clean up syscache so that recursive invocation is safe, and remove errorTom Lane2000-11-10
| | | | | | | | message about recursive use of a syscache. Also remove most of the specialized indexscan routines in indexing.c --- it turns out that catcache.c is perfectly able to perform the indexscan for itself, in fact has already looked up all the information needed to do so! This should be faster as well as needing far less boilerplate code.
* Ensure that catcache 'busy' flags are reset at transaction abort.Tom Lane2000-08-06
| | | | | | Without this, an elog during cache-entry load leaves that catcache unusable. elog in that segment of code is pretty unusual but it can happen.
* Don't run in CacheMemoryContext more than necessary.Tom Lane2000-07-02
|
* First phase of memory management rewrite (see backend/utils/mmgr/READMETom Lane2000-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | for details). It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably. A few long- standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single query string crashing. Also, out-of-memory is now considered a recoverable ERROR, not FATAL. Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around memory management. Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and backend startup.
* Clean up bogosities in pg_opclass, pg_amop, pg_amproc. There are amprocTom Lane2000-06-19
| | | | | | | entries now for int8 and network hash indexes. int24_ops and int42_ops are gone. pg_opclass no longer contains multiple entries claiming to be the default opclass for the same datatype. opr_sanity regress test extended to catch errors like these in the future.
* Clean out another pocket of functions called via nonspecific functionTom Lane2000-06-17
| | | | | | | pointers, namely the catcache tuple fetch routines. Also get rid of the unused and possibly confusing 'size' field in struct cachedesc. Since it doesn't allow for variable-length fields, anyone who actually trusted it would likely be making a mistake...
* Latest round of fmgr updates. All functions with bool,char, or int2Tom Lane2000-06-05
| | | | | | | inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still more to do for the Alpha port however.
* First round of changes for new fmgr interface. fmgr itself and theTom Lane2000-05-28
| | | | | | | key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle. An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions). NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.

* Squash longstanding memory leak: when catcache.c copied a tuple intoTom Lane2000-02-04

* Fix problems seen in parallel regress tests when SI buffer overruns (causingTom Lane2000-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | syscache and relcache flushes). Relcache entry rebuild now preserves original tupledesc, rewrite rules, and triggers if possible, so that pointers to these things remain valid --- if these things change while relcache entry has positive refcount, we elog(ERROR) to avoid later crash. Arrange for xact-local rels to be rebuilt when an SI inval message is seen for them, so that they are updated by CommandCounterIncrement the same as regular rels. (This is useful because of Hiroshi's recent changes to process our own SI messages at CommandCounterIncrement time.) This allows simplification of some routines that previously hacked around the lack of an automatic update. catcache now keeps its own copy of tupledesc for its relation, rather than depending on the relcache's copy; this avoids needing to reinitialize catcache during a cache flush, which saves some cycles and eliminates nasty circularity problems that occur if a cache flush happens while trying to initialize a catcache. Eliminate a number of permanent memory leaks that used to happen during catcache or relcache flush; not least of which was that catcache never freed any cached tuples! (Rule parsetree storage is still leaked, however; will fix that separately.) Nothing done yet about code that uses tuples retrieved by SearchSysCache for longer than is safe.
