* Fix translator notes in commentsDaniel Gustafsson2025-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The translator comments detailing what a %s inclusion refers to were accidentally including too many address types. In practice this is not a problem since it's not a translated string, but to minimize any risk of confusion let's fix them anwyays. Even though this exists in backbranches there is little use for backpatch as the translation work has already happened there, so let's avoid the churn.

* Implement Self-Join EliminationAlexander Korotkov2025-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The Self-Join Elimination (SJE) feature removes an inner join of a plain table to itself in the query tree if it is proven that the join can be replaced with a scan without impacting the query result. Self-join and inner relation get replaced with the outer in query, equivalence classes, and planner info structures. Also, the inner restrictlist moves to the outer one with the removal of duplicated clauses. Thus, this optimization reduces the length of the range table list (this especially makes sense for partitioned relations), reduces the number of restriction clauses and, in turn, selectivity estimations, and potentially improves total planner prediction for the query. This feature is dedicated to avoiding redundancy, which can appear after pull-up transformations or the creation of an EquivalenceClass-derived clause like the below. SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE x IN (SELECT t3.x FROM t1 t3); SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT t3.x FROM t1 t3 WHERE t3.x = t1.x); SELECT * FROM t1,t2, t1 t3 WHERE t1.x = t2.x AND t2.x = t3.x; In the future, we could also reduce redundancy caused by subquery pull-up after unnecessary outer join removal in cases like the one below. SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE x IN (SELECT t3.x FROM t1 t3 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.x = t1.x); Also, it can drastically help to join partitioned tables, removing entries even before their expansion. The SJE proof is based on innerrel_is_unique() machinery. We can remove a self-join when for each outer row: 1. At most, one inner row matches the join clause; 2. Each matched inner row must be (physically) the same as the outer one; 3. Inner and outer rows have the same row mark. In this patch, we use the next approach to identify a self-join: 1. Collect all merge-joinable join quals which look like a.x = b.x; 2. Add to the list above the baseretrictinfo of the inner table; 3. Check innerrel_is_unique() for the qual list. If it returns false, skip this pair of joining tables; 4. Check uniqueness, proved by the baserestrictinfo clauses. To prove the possibility of self-join elimination, the inner and outer clauses must match exactly. The relation replacement procedure is not trivial and is partly combined with the one used to remove useless left joins. Tests covering this feature were added to join.sql. Some of the existing regression tests changed due to self-join removal logic.

* Move wal_buffers_full from PgStat_PendingWalStats to WalUsageMichael Paquier2025-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | wal_buffers_full has been introduced in pg_stat_wal in 8d9a935965f, as some information providing metrics for the tuning of the GUC wal_buffers. WalUsage has been introduced before that in df3b181499. Moving this field is proving to be beneficial for several reasons: - This information can now be made available in more layers, providing more granularity than just pg_stat_wal, on a per-query basis: EXPLAIN, pgss and VACUUM/ANALYZE logs. - A patch is under discussion to provide statistics for WAL at backend level, and this move simplifies a bit the handling of pending statistics. The remaining data in PgStat_PendingWalStats now relates to write/sync counters and times, with equivalents present in pg_stat_io, that backend statistics are able to already track. So this should cut all the dependencies between PgStat_PendingWalStats and WAL stats at backend level. As of this change, wal_buffers_full only shows in pg_stat_wal.

* Get rid of WALBufMappingLockAlexander Korotkov2025-02-17

This way `MemSet((char *) NewPage, 0, XLOG_BLCKSZ);` can run in parallel without taking a single LWLock in exclusive mode. The new algorithm works as follows: * reserve a page for initialization using XLogCtl->InitializeReserved, * ensure the page is written out, * once the page is initialized, try to advance XLogCtl->InitializedUpTo and signal to waiters using XLogCtl->InitializedUpToCondVar condition variable, * repeat previous steps until we reserve initialization up to the target WAL position, * wait until concurrent initialization finishes using a XLogCtl->InitializedUpToCondVar. Now, multiple backends can, in parallel, concurrently reserve pages, initialize them, and advance XLogCtl->InitializedUpTo to point to the latest initialized page.

* Adjust tuples estimate for appendrelsRichard Guo2025-02-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In set_append_rel_size(), we currently set rel->tuples to rel->rows for an appendrel. Generally, rel->tuples is the raw number of tuples in the relation and rel->rows is the estimated number of tuples after the relation's restriction clauses have been applied. Although an appendrel itself doesn't directly enforce any quals today, its child relations may. Therefore, setting rel->tuples equal to rel->rows for an appendrel isn't always appropriate. Doing so can lead to issues in cost estimates in some cases. For instance, when estimating the number of distinct values from an appendrel, we would not be able to adjust the estimate based on the restriction selectivity. This patch addresses this by setting an appendrel's tuples to the total number of tuples accumulated from each live child, which better aligns with reality. This is arguably a bug, but nobody has complained about that until now, so no back-patch.

* Fix explicit valgrind interaction in read_stream.c.Thomas Munro2025-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By calling wipe_mem() on per-buffer data memory that has been released, we are also telling Valgrind that the memory is "noaccess".

* Describe special values in GUC descriptions more consistently.Nathan Bossart2025-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many GUCs accept special values like -1 or an empty string to disable the feature, use a system default, etc. While the documentation consistently lists these special values, the GUC descriptions do not. Many such descriptions fail to mention the special values, and those that do vary in phrasing and placement. This commit aims to bring some consistency to this area by applying the following rules: * Special values should be listed at the end of the long description. * Descriptions should use numerals (e.g., "0") instead of words (e.g., "zero"). * Special value mentions should be concise and direct (e.g., "0 disables the timeout.", "An empty string means use the operating system setting."). * Multiple special values should be listed in ascending order. Of course, there are exceptions, such as max_pred_locks_per_relation and search_path, whose special values are too complex to include. And there are cases like listen_addresses, where the meaning of an empty string is arguably too obvious to include. In those cases, I've refrained from adding special value information to the GUC description. Reviewed-by: Peter Smith <smithpb2250@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: "David G.

This optimization enhances logical decoding performance, especially for large transactions that have already been rolled back, as it avoids unnecessary disk or network I/O. To avoid potential slowdowns caused by frequent CLOG lookups for small transactions (most of which commit), the CLOG lookup is performed only for large transactions before eviction.

* Eagerly scan all-visible pages to amortize aggressive vacuumMelanie Plageman2025-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Aggressive vacuums must scan every unfrozen tuple in order to advance the relfrozenxid/relminmxid. Because data is often vacuumed before it is old enough to require freezing, relations may build up a large backlog of pages that are set all-visible but not all-frozen in the visibility map. When an aggressive vacuum is triggered, all of these pages must be scanned. These pages have often been evicted from shared buffers and even from the kernel buffer cache. Thus, aggressive vacuums often incur large amounts of extra I/O at the expense of foreground workloads. To amortize the cost of aggressive vacuums, eagerly scan some all-visible but not all-frozen pages during normal vacuums. All-visible pages that are eagerly scanned and set all-frozen in the visibility map are counted as successful eager freezes and those not frozen are counted as failed eager freezes. If too many eager scans fail in a row, eager scanning is temporarily suspended until a later portion of the relation. The number of failures tolerated is configurable globally and per table. To effectively amortize aggressive vacuums, we cap the number of successes as well.

* config: Rename "Asynchronous Behavior" to "I/O"Andres Freund2025-02-11

Most other abbreviations in the config sections are un-abbreviated, but "Input/Output" seems less likely to be helpful than just IO or I/O.

* Allow extension functions to participate in in-place updates.Tom Lane2025-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 1dc5ebc90 allowed PL/pgSQL to perform in-place updates of expanded-object variables that are being updated with assignments like "x := f(x, ...)". However this was allowed only for a hard-wired list of functions f(), since we need to be sure that f() will not modify the variable if it fails. It was always envisioned that we should make that extensible, but at the time we didn't have a good way to do so. Since then we've invented the idea of "support functions" to allow attaching specialized optimization knowledge to functions, and that is a perfect mechanism for doing this. Hence, adjust PL/pgSQL to use a support function request instead of hard-wired logic to decide if in-place update is safe. Preserve the previous optimizations by creating support functions for the three functions that were previously hard-wired.

* Lock table in ShareUpdateExclusive when importing index stats.Jeff Davis2025-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Follow locking behavior of ANALYZE when importing statistics. In particular, when importing index statistics, the table must be locked in ShareUpdateExclusive mode. Fixes bug reportd by Jian He. ANALYZE doesn't update statistics on partitioned indexes, and the locking requirements are slightly different for in-place updates on partitioned indexes versus normal indexes.

* Virtual generated columnsPeter Eisentraut2025-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds a new variant of generated columns that are computed on read (like a view, unlike the existing stored generated columns, which are computed on write, like a materialized view). The syntax for the column definition is ... GENERATED ALWAYS AS (...) VIRTUAL and VIRTUAL is also optional. VIRTUAL is the default rather than STORED to match various other SQL products. (The SQL standard makes no specification about this, but it also doesn't know about VIRTUAL or STORED.) (Also, virtual views are the default, rather than materialized views.) Virtual generated columns are stored in tuples as null values. (A very early version of this patch had the ambition to not store them at all. But so much stuff breaks or gets confused if you have tuples where a column in the middle is completely missing. This is a compromise, and it still saves space over being forced to use stored generated columns. If we ever find a way to improve this, a bit of pg_upgrade cleverness could allow for upgrades to a newer scheme.) The capabilities and restrictions of virtual generated columns are mostly the same as for stored generated columns. In some cases, this patch keeps virtual generated columns more restricted than they might technically need to be, to keep the two kinds consistent. Some of that could maybe be relaxed later after separate careful considerations. Some functionality that is currently not supported, but could possibly be added as incremental features, some easier than others: - index on or using a virtual column - hence also no unique constraints on virtual columns - extended statistics on virtual columns - foreign-key constraints on virtual columns - not-null constraints on virtual columns (check constraints are supported) - ALTER TABLE / DROP EXPRESSION - virtual column cannot have domain type - virtual columns are not supported in logical replication The tests in generated_virtual.sql have been copied over from generated_stored.sql with the keyword replaced. This way we can make sure the behavior is mostly aligned, and the differences can be visible. Some tests for currently not supported features are currently commented out.

* Track unpruned relids to avoid processing pruned relationsAmit Langote2025-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit introduces changes to track unpruned relations explicitly, making it possible for top-level plan nodes, such as ModifyTable and LockRows, to avoid processing partitions pruned during initial pruning. Scan-level nodes, such as Append and MergeAppend, already avoid the unnecessary processing by accessing partition pruning results directly via part_prune_index. In contrast, top-level nodes cannot access pruning results directly and need to determine which partitions remain unpruned. To address this, this commit introduces a new bitmapset field, es_unpruned_relids, which the executor uses to track the set of unpruned relations. This field is referenced during plan initialization to skip initializing certain nodes for pruned partitions. It is initialized with PlannedStmt.unprunableRelids, a new field that the planner populates with RT indexes of relations that cannot be pruned during runtime pruning. These include relations not subject to partition pruning and those required for execution regardless of pruning. PlannedStmt.unprunableRelids is computed during set_plan_refs() by removing the RT indexes of runtime-prunable relations, identified from PartitionPruneInfos, from the full set of relation RT indexes. ExecDoInitialPruning() then updates es_unpruned_relids by adding partitions that survive initial pruning. To support this, PartitionedRelPruneInfo and PartitionedRelPruningData now include a leafpart_rti_map[] array that maps partition indexes to their corresponding RT indexes. The former is used in set_plan_refs() when constructing unprunableRelids, while the latter is used in ExecDoInitialPruning() to convert partition indexes returned by get_matching_partitions() into RT indexes, which are then added to es_unpruned_relids. These changes make it possible for ModifyTable and LockRows nodes to process only relations that remain unpruned after initial pruning. ExecInitModifyTable() trims lists, such as resultRelations, withCheckOptionLists, returningLists, and updateColnosLists, to consider only unpruned partitions. It also creates ResultRelInfo structs only for these partitions. Similarly, child RowMarks for pruned relations are skipped. By avoiding unnecessary initialization of structures for pruned partitions, these changes improve the performance of updates and deletes on partitioned tables during initial runtime pruning. Due to ExecInitModifyTable() changes as described above, EXPLAIN on a plan for UPDATE and DELETE that uses runtime initial pruning no longer lists partitions pruned during initial pruning.

* Introduce autovacuum_vacuum_max_threshold.Nathan Bossart2025-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One way autovacuum chooses tables to vacuum is by comparing the number of updated or deleted tuples with a value calculated using autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor. The threshold specifies the base value for comparison, and the scale factor specifies the fraction of the table size to add to it. This strategy ensures that smaller tables are vacuumed after fewer updates/deletes than larger tables, which is reasonable in many cases but can result in infrequent vacuums on very large tables. This is undesirable for a couple of reasons, such as very large tables incurring a huge amount of bloat between vacuums. This new parameter provides a way to set a limit on the value calculated with autovacuum_vacuum_threshold and autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor so that very large tables are vacuumed more frequently. By default, it is set to 100,000,000 tuples, but it can be disabled by setting it to -1. It can also be adjusted for individual tables by changing storage parameters.

* Avoid updating inactive_since for invalid replication slots.Amit Kapila2025-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It is possible for the inactive_since value of an invalid replication slot to be updated multiple times, which is unexpected behavior like during the release of the slot or at the time of restart. This is harmless because invalid slots are not allowed to be accessed but it is not prudent to update invalid slots. We are planning to invalidate slots due to other reasons like idle time and it will look odd that the slot's inactive_since displays the recent time in this field after invalidated due to idle time. So, this patch ensures that the inactive_since field of slots is not updated for invalid slots. In the passing, ensure to use the same inactive_since time for all the slots at restart while restoring them from the disk.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds WAL IO stats to both pg_stat_io view and per-backend IO statistics (pg_stat_get_backend_io()). This change is possible since f92c854cf406, as WAL IO is not counted in blocks in some code paths where its stats data is measured (like WAL read in xlogreader.c). IOContext gains IOCONTEXT_INIT and IOObject IOOBJECT_WAL, with the following combinations allowed: - IOOBJECT_WAL/IOCONTEXT_NORMAL is used to track I/O operations done on already-created WAL segments. - IOOBJECT_WAL/IOCONTEXT_INIT is used for tracking I/O operations done when initializing WAL segments. The core changes are done in pg_stat_io.c, backend statistics inherit them. Backend statistics and pg_stat_io are now available for the WAL writer, the WAL receiver and the WAL summarizer processes. I/O timing data is controlled by the GUC track_io_timing, like the existing data of pg_stat_io for consistency. The timings related to IOOBJECT_WAL show up if the GUC is enabled (disabled by default).
