* Allow left join removals and unique joins on partitioned tablesDavid Rowley2023-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | This allows left join removals and unique joins to work with partitioned tables. The planner just lacked sufficient proofs that a given join would not cause any row duplication. Unique indexes currently serve as that proof, so have get_relation_info() populate the indexlist for partitioned tables too.

* Perform apply of large transactions by parallel workers.Amit Kapila2023-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, for large transactions, the publisher sends the data in multiple streams (changes divided into chunks depending upon logical_decoding_work_mem), and then on the subscriber-side, the apply worker writes the changes into temporary files and once it receives the commit, it reads from those files and applies the entire transaction. To improve the performance of such transactions, we can instead allow them to be applied via parallel workers. In this approach, we assign a new parallel apply worker (if available) as soon as the xact's first stream is received and the leader apply worker will send changes to this new worker via shared memory. The parallel apply worker will directly apply the change instead of writing it to temporary files. However, if the leader apply worker times out while attempting to send a message to the parallel apply worker, it will switch to "partial serialize" mode - in this mode, the leader serializes all remaining changes to a file and notifies the parallel apply workers to read and apply them at the end of the transaction. We use a non-blocking way to send the messages from the leader apply worker to the parallel apply to avoid deadlocks. We keep this parallel apply assigned till the transaction commit is received and also wait for the worker to finish at commit. This preserves commit ordering and avoid writing to and reading from files in most cases. We still need to spill if there is no worker available. This patch also extends the SUBSCRIPTION 'streaming' parameter so that the user can control whether to apply the streaming transaction in a parallel apply worker or spill the change to disk. The user can set the streaming parameter to 'on/off', or 'parallel'. The parameter value 'parallel' means the streaming will be applied via a parallel apply worker, if available. The parameter value 'on' means the streaming transaction will be spilled to disk. The default value is 'off' (same as current behaviour). In addition, the patch extends the logical replication STREAM_ABORT message so that abort_lsn and abort_time can also be sent which can be used to update the replication origin in parallel apply worker when the streaming transaction is aborted. Because this message extension is needed to support parallel streaming, parallel streaming is not supported for publications on servers < PG16.

* Improve GIN cost estimationAlexander Korotkov2023-01-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | GIN index scans were not taking any descent CPU-based cost into account. That made them look cheaper than other types of indexes when they shouldn't be. We use the same heuristic as for btree indexes, but multiply it by the number of searched entries. Additionally, the CPU cost for the tree was based largely on a genericcostestimate. For a GIN index, we should not charge index quals per tuple, but per entry. On top of this, charge cpu_index_tuple_cost per actual tuple. This should fix the cases where a GIN index is preferred over a btree and the ones where a memoize node is not added on top of the GIN index scan because it seemed too cheap. We don't packpatch this to evade unexpected plan changes in stable versions.

* Add additional regression tests for select_active_windowsDavid Rowley2023-01-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the development of 728202b63, which was aimed at reducing the number of sorts required to evaluate multiple window functions with different WindowClause definitions, the code written sorted the WindowClauses in reverse tleSortGroupRef order. There appears to be no discussion in the thread which was opened to discuss the development of this patch and no comments mentioning the fact that having the WindowClauses in reverse tleSortGroupRef order makes it more likely that the final WindowClause to be evaluated will provide presorted input to the query's DISTINCT or ORDER BY clause. The reason for this is that the tleSortGroupRef indexes are assigned for the DISTINCT and ORDER BY clauses before they are for the WindowClauses PARTITION BY and ORDER BY clauses. Putting the WindowClause with the lowest tleSortGroupRef last means that it's more likely that no additional sorting is required for the query's DISTINCT or ORDER BY clause. All we're doing here is adding some tests and a comment to help ensure that remains true and that we don't accidentally forget to consider this again should we ever rewrite that code.

* Wake up a subscription's replication worker processes after DDL.Tom Lane2023-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Waken related worker processes immediately at commit of a transaction that has performed ALTER SUBSCRIPTION (including the RENAME and OWNER variants). This reduces the response time for such operations. In the real world that might not be worth much, but it shaves several seconds off the runtime for the subscription test suite. In the case of PREPARE, we just throw away this notification state; it doesn't seem worth the work to preserve it. The workers will still react after the eventual COMMIT PREPARED, but not as quickly.

* Add options to control whether VACUUM runs vac_update_datfrozenxid.Tom Lane2023-01-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | VACUUM normally ends by running vac_update_datfrozenxid(), which requires a scan of pg_class. Therefore, if one attempts to vacuum a database one table at a time --- as vacuumdb has done since v12 --- we will spend O(N^2) time in vac_update_datfrozenxid(). That causes serious performance problems in databases with tens of thousands of tables, and indeed the effect is measurable with only a few hundred. To add insult to injury, only one process can run vac_update_datfrozenxid at the same time per DB, so this behavior largely defeats vacuumdb's -j option. Hence, invent options SKIP_DATABASE_STATS and ONLY_DATABASE_STATS to allow applications to postpone vac_update_datfrozenxid() until the end of a series of VACUUM requests, and teach vacuumdb to use them. Per bug #17717 from Gunnar L. Sadly, this answer doesn't seem like something we'd consider back-patching, so the performance problem will remain in v12-v15.

* Refactor permissions-checking for role grants.Robert Haas2023-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Instead of having checks in AddRoleMems() and DelRoleMems(), have the callers perform checks where it's required. In some cases it isn't, either because the caller has already performed a check for the same condition, or because the check couldn't possibly fail. The "Skip permission check if nothing to do" check in each of AddRoleMems() and DelRoleMems() is pointless. Some call sites can't pass an empty list. Others can, but in those cases, the role being modified is one that the current user has just created. Therefore, they must have permission to modify it, and so no permission check is required at all. This patch is intended to have no user-visible consequences. It is intended to simplify future work in this area. Patch by me, reviewed by Mark Dilger. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/CA+TgmobFzTLkLwOquFrAcdsWBsOWDr-_H-jw+qBvfx-wSzMwDA@mail.gmail.com
* Fix calculation of which GENERATED columns need to be updated.Tom Lane2023-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We were identifying the updatable generated columns of inheritance children by transposing the calculation made for their parent. However, there's nothing that says a traditional-inheritance child can't have generated columns that aren't there in its parent, or that have different dependencies than are in the parent's expression. (At present it seems that we don't enforce that for partitioning either, which is likely wrong to some degree or other; but the case clearly needs to be handled with traditional inheritance.) Hence, drop the very-klugy-anyway "extraUpdatedCols" RTE field in favor of identifying which generated columns depend on updated columns during executor startup. In HEAD we can remove extraUpdatedCols altogether; in back branches, it's still there but always empty. Another difference between the HEAD and back-branch versions of this patch is that in HEAD we can add the new bitmap field to ResultRelInfo, but that would cause an ABI break in back branches. Like 4b3e37993, add a List field at the end of struct EState instead. Back-patch to v13. The bogus calculation is also being made in v12, but it doesn't have the same visible effect because we don't use it to decide which generated columns to recalculate; as a consequence of which the patch doesn't apply easily. I think that there might still be a demonstrable bug associated with trigger firing conditions, but that's such a weird corner-case usage that I'm content to leave it unfixed in v12.

* Add page-level freezing to VACUUM.Peter Geoghegan2022-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Teach VACUUM to decide on whether or not to trigger freezing at the level of whole heap pages. Individual XIDs and MXIDs fields from tuple headers now trigger freezing of whole pages, rather than independently triggering freezing of each individual tuple header field. Managing the cost of freezing over time now significantly influences when and how VACUUM freezes. The overall amount of WAL written is the single most important freezing related cost, in general. Freezing each page's tuples together in batch allows VACUUM to take full advantage of the freeze plan WAL deduplication optimization added by commit 9e540599. Also teach VACUUM to trigger page-level freezing whenever it detects that heap pruning generated an FPI. We'll have already written a large amount of WAL just to do that much, so it's very likely a good idea to get freezing out of the way for the page early. This only happens in cases where it will directly lead to marking the page all-frozen in the visibility map. In most cases "freezing a page" removes all XIDs < OldestXmin, and all MXIDs < OldestMxact. It doesn't quite work that way in certain rare cases involving MultiXacts, though. It is convenient to define "freeze the page" in a way that gives FreezeMultiXactId the leeway to put off the work of processing an individual tuple's xmax whenever it happens to be a MultiXactId that would require an expensive second pass to process aggressively (allocating a new multi is especially worth avoiding here). FreezeMultiXactId is eager when processing is cheap (as it usually is), and lazy in the event of an individual multi that happens to require expensive second pass processing. This avoids regressions related to processing of multis that page-level freezing might otherwise cause.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Given the soft-input-error feature, we can reduce these functions to be just thin wrappers around a soft-error call of the corresponding datatype input function. This means less code and more certainty that the to_reg* functions match the normal input behavior. Notably, it also means that they will accept numeric OID input, which they didn't before. It's not clear to me if that omission had more than laziness behind it, but it doesn't seem like something we need to work hard to preserve.

* Convert the reg* input functions to report (most) errors softly.Tom Lane2022-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is not really complete, but it catches most cases of practical interest. The main omissions are: * regtype, regprocedure, and regoperator parse type names by calling the main grammar, so any grammar-detected syntax error will still be a hard error. Also, if one includes a type modifier in such a type specification, errors detected by the typmodin function will be hard errors. * Lookup errors are handled just by passing missing_ok = true to the relevant catalog lookup function. Because we've used quite a restrictive definition of "missing_ok", this means that edge cases such as "the named schema exists, but you lack USAGE permission on it" are still hard errors. It would make sense to me to replace most/all missing_ok parameters with an escontext parameter and then allow these additional lookup failure cases to be trapped too. But that's a job for some other day. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3342239.1671988406@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Convert tsqueryin and tsvectorin to report errors softly.Tom Lane2022-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is slightly tedious because the adjustments cascade through a couple of levels of subroutines, but it's not very hard. I chose to avoid changing function signatures more than absolutely necessary, by passing the escontext pointer in existing structs where possible. tsquery's nuisance NOTICEs about empty queries are suppressed in soft-error mode, since they're not errors and we surely don't want them to be shown to the user anyway. Maybe that whole behavior should be reconsidered. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/3824377.1672076822@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Detect bad input for types xid, xid8, and cid.Tom Lane2022-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically these input functions just called strtoul or strtoull and returned the result, with no error detection whatever. Upgrade them to reject garbage input and out-of-range values, similarly to our other numeric input routines. To share the code for this with type oid, adjust the existing "oidin_subr" to be agnostic about the SQL name of the type it is handling, and move it to numutils.c; then clone it for 64-bit types. Because the xid types previously accepted hex and octal input by reason of calling strtoul[l] with third argument zero, I made the common subroutine do that too, with the consequence that type oid now also accepts hex and octal input. In view of 6fcda9aba, that seems like a good thing. While at it, simplify the existing over-complicated handling of syntax errors from strtoul: we only need one ereturn not three.

* Remove overzealous MultiXact freeze assertion.Peter Geoghegan2022-12-26

* Add 'logical_decoding_mode' GUC.Amit Kapila2022-12-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This enables streaming or serializing changes immediately in logical decoding. This parameter is intended to be used to test logical decoding and replication of large transactions for which otherwise we need to generate the changes till logical_decoding_work_mem is reached. This helps in reducing the timing of existing tests related to logical replication of in-progress transactions and will help in writing tests for for the upcoming feature for parallelly applying large in-progress transactions.

* Make the numeric-OID cases of regprocin and friends be non-throwing.Tom Lane2022-12-24
| | | | | | | | | While at it, use a common subroutine already. This doesn't move the needle very far in terms of making these functions non-throwing; the only case we're now able to trap is numeric-OID-is-out-of-range. Still, it seems like a pretty non-controversial step in that direction.
