* 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
* Allow information schema definitions to work without requiring implicitPeter Eisentraut2007-02-27
| | | | casts to text.
* Get rid of the separate EState for subplans, and just let them share theTom Lane2007-02-27
| | | | | | | | | parent query's EState. Now that there's a single flat rangetable for both the main plan and subplans, there's no need anymore for a separate EState, and removing it allows cleaning up some crufty code in nodeSubplan.c and nodeSubqueryscan.c. Should be a tad faster too, although any difference will probably be hard to measure. This is the last bit of subsidiary mop-up work from changing to a flat rangetable.
* Put back copyObject() call I removed in a fit of brain fade. This oneTom Lane2007-02-25
| | | | | | is still needed despite cleanups in setrefs.c, because the point is to let the inserted Result node compute a different tlist than its input node does. Per example from Jeremy Drake.
* Now that plans have flat rangetable lists, it's a lot easier to get EXPLAIN toTom Lane2007-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | drill down into subplan targetlists to print the referent expression for an OUTER or INNER var in an upper plan node. Hence, make it do that always, and banish the old hack of showing "?columnN?" when things got too complicated. Along the way, fix an EXPLAIN bug I introduced by suppressing subqueries from execution-time range tables: get_name_for_var_field() assumed it could look at rte->subquery to find out the real type of a RECORD var. That doesn't work anymore, but instead we can look at the input plan of the SubqueryScan plan node.

* Change Agg and Group nodes so that Vars contained in their targetlistsTom Lane2007-02-22
| | | | | | | and quals have varno OUTER, rather than zero, to indicate a reference to an output of their lefttree subplan. This is consistent with the way that every other upper-level node type does it, and allows some simplifications in setrefs.c and EXPLAIN.
* Fix bug I introduced in recent patch to make hash joins discard null tuplesTom Lane2007-02-22
| | | | | immediately: ExecHashGetHashValue failed to restore the caller's memory context before taking the failure exit.
* Turn the rangetable used by the executor into a flat list, and avoid storingTom Lane2007-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | useless substructure for its RangeTblEntry nodes. (I chose to keep using the same struct node type and just zero out the link fields for unneeded info, rather than making a separate ExecRangeTblEntry type --- it seemed too fragile to have two different rangetable representations.) Along the way, put subplans into a list in the toplevel PlannedStmt node, and have SubPlan nodes refer to them by list index instead of direct pointers. Vadim wanted to do that years ago, but I never understood what he was on about until now. It makes things a *whole* lot more robust, because we can stop worrying about duplicate processing of subplans during expression tree traversals. That's been a constant source of bugs, and it's finally gone. There are some consequent simplifications yet to be made, like not using a separate EState for subplans in the executor, but I'll tackle that later.

* Move increase FSM warning to after lazy_truncate_heap() because theBruce Momjian2007-02-21

* btree source code cleanups:Bruce Momjian2007-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | I refactored findsplitloc and checksplitloc so that the division of labor is more clear IMO. I pushed all the space calculation inside the loop to checksplitloc. I also fixed the off by 4 in free space calculation caused by PageGetFreeSpace subtracting sizeof(ItemIdData), even though it was harmless, because it was distracting and I felt it might come back to bite us in the future if we change the page layout or alignments. There's now a new function PageGetExactFreeSpace that doesn't do the subtraction. findsplitloc now tries the "just the new item to right page" split as well. If people don't like the refactoring, I can write a patch to just add that. Heikki Linnakangas

* Remove the Query structure from the executor's API. This allows us to stopTom Lane2007-02-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | storing mostly-redundant Query trees in prepared statements, portals, etc. To replace Query, a new node type called PlannedStmt is inserted by the planner at the top of a completed plan tree; this carries just the fields of Query that are still needed at runtime. The statement lists kept in portals etc. now consist of intermixed PlannedStmt and bare utility-statement nodes --- no Query. This incidentally allows us to remove some fields from Query and Plan nodes that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Still to do: simplify the execution-time range table; at the moment the range table passed to the executor still contains Query trees for subqueries. initdb forced due to change of stored rules.
* Add "isodow" option to EXTRACT() and date_part() where Sunday = 7.Bruce Momjian2007-02-19

* Get rid of some old and crufty global variables in the planner. WhenTom Lane2007-02-19
| | | | | | | | | this code was last gone over, there wasn't really any alternative to globals because we didn't have the PlannerInfo struct being passed all through the planner code. Now that we do, we can restructure things to avoid non-reentrancy. I'm fooling with this because otherwise I'd have had to add another global variable for the planned compact range table list.
* Put function expressions and values lists into FunctionScan and ValuesScanTom Lane2007-02-19
| | | | | | plan nodes, so that the executor does not need to get these items from the range table at runtime. This will avoid needing to include these fields in the compact range table I'm expecting to make the executor use.
* Fix portal management code to support non-default command completion tags forTom Lane2007-02-18
| | | | | | portals using PORTAL_UTIL_SELECT strategy. This is currently significant only for FETCH queries, which are supposed to include a count in the tag. Seems it's been broken since 7.4, but nobody noticed before Knut Lehre.
* Add code so that when COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES is defined, the copy andTom Lane2007-02-17
| | | | | | equal functions are checked for raw parse trees as well as post-analysis trees. This was never very important before, but the upcoming plan cache control module will need to be able to do copyObject() on raw parse trees.
* Remove rint() for to_char MS and US output. We can't us rint() becauseBruce Momjian2007-02-17
| | | | | we can't overflow to the next higher units, and we might print the lower units for MS.

* Teach find_nonnullable_rels to handle OR cases: if every arm of an ORTom Lane2007-02-16
| | | | | | forces a particular relation nonnullable, then we can say that the OR does. This is worth a little extra trouble since it may allow reduction of outer joins to plain joins.
* Fix new RI operator selection code to do the right thing when working withTom Lane2007-02-16
| | | | | | | an opclass for a generic type such as ANYARRAY. The original coding failed to check that PK and FK columns were of the same array type. Per discussion with Tom Dunstan. Also, make the code a shade more readable by not trying to economize on variables.
* Reduce the amount of memory "clobbered" for every process title change,Bruce Momjian2007-02-16
| | | | | on platforms that need this. This is done by only writing past the previously stored message, if it was longer.
* Adjust the definition of is_pushed_down so that it's always true for INNERTom Lane2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | JOIN quals, just like WHERE quals, even if they reference every one of the join's relations. Now that we can reorder outer and inner joins, it's possible for such a qual to end up being assigned to an outer join plan node, and we mustn't have it treated as a join qual rather than a filter qual for the node. (If it were, the join could produce null-extended rows that it shouldn't.) Per bug report from Pelle Johansson.

Should think about using the general Param mechanism to pass down outer-relation variables, but for the moment we need a back-patchable solution. Per report from Phil Frost.
* Add two new format fields for use with to_char(), to_date() andBruce Momjian2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | to_timestamp(): - ID for day-of-week - IDDD for day-of-year This makes it possible to convert ISO week dates to and from text fully represented in either week ('IYYY-IW-ID') or day-of-year ('IYYY-IDDD') format. I have also added an 'isoyear' field for use with extract / date_part. Brendan Jurd

* Restructure code that is responsible for ensuring that clauseless joins areTom Lane2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | considered when it is necessary to do so because of a join-order restriction (that is, an outer-join or IN-subselect construct). The former coding was a bit ad-hoc and inconsistent, and it missed some cases, as exposed by Mario Weilguni's recent bug report. His specific problem was that an IN could be turned into a "clauseless" join due to constant-propagation removing the IN's joinclause, and if the IN's subselect involved more than one relation and there was more than one such IN linking to the same upper relation, then the only valid join orders involve "bushy" plans but we would fail to consider the specific paths needed to get there. (See the example case added to the join regression test.) On examining the code I wonder if there weren't some other problem cases too; in particular it seems that GEQO was defending against a different set of corner cases than the main planner was. There was also an efficiency problem, in that when we did realize we needed a clauseless join because of an IN, we'd consider clauseless joins against every other relation whether this was sensible or not. It seems a better design is to use the outer-join and in-clause lists as a backup heuristic, just as the rule of joining only where there are joinclauses is a heuristic: we'll join two relations if they have a usable joinclause *or* this might be necessary to satisfy an outer-join or IN-clause join order restriction. I refactored the code to have just one place considering this instead of three, and made sure that it covered all the cases that any of them had been considering. Backpatch as far as 8.1 (which has only the IN-clause form of the disease). By rights 8.0 and 7.4 should have the bug too, but they accidentally fail to fail, because the joininfo structure used in those releases preserves some memory of there having once been a joinclause between the inner and outer sides of an IN, and so it leads the code in the right direction anyway. I'll be conservative and not touch them.
* Restructure autovacuum in two processes: a dummy process, which runsAlvaro Herrera2007-02-15
| | | | | | | | | continuously, and requests vacuum runs of "autovacuum workers" to postmaster. The workers do the actual vacuum work. This allows for future improvements, like allowing multiple autovacuum jobs running in parallel. For now, the code keeps the original behavior of having a single autovac process at any time by sleeping until the previous worker has finished.
* Repair oversight in 8.2 change that improved the handling of "pseudoconstant"Tom Lane2007-02-15
| | | | | | | | | WHERE clauses. createplan.c is now willing to stick a gating Result node almost anywhere in the plan tree, and in particular one can wind up directly underneath a MergeJoin node. This means it had better be willing to handle Mark/Restore. Fortunately, that's trivial in such cases, since we can just pass off the call to the input node (which the planner has previously ensured can handle Mark/Restore). Per report from Phil Frost.
* Fix to_date()/to_timestamp() 'D' field for day of week, was off by one.Bruce Momjian2007-02-14
| | | | | | Converting from char using 'D' doesn't make lots of sense, of course. Report from Brendan Jurd.

* Fix up foreign-key mechanism so that there is a sound semantic basis for theTom Lane2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | equality checks it applies, instead of a random dependence on whatever operators might be named "=". The equality operators will now be selected from the opfamily of the unique index that the FK constraint depends on to enforce uniqueness of the referenced columns; therefore they are certain to be consistent with that index's notion of equality. Among other things this should fix the problem noted awhile back that pg_dump may fail for foreign-key constraints on user-defined types when the required operators aren't in the search path. This also means that the former warning condition about "foreign key constraint will require costly sequential scans" is gone: if the comparison condition isn't indexable then we'll reject the constraint entirely. All per past discussions. Along the way, make the RI triggers look into pg_constraint for their information, instead of using pg_trigger.tgargs; and get rid of the always error-prone fixed-size string buffers in ri_triggers.c in favor of building up the RI queries in StringInfo buffers. initdb forced due to columns added to pg_constraint and pg_trigger.
* Disallow committing a prepared transaction unless we are in the same databaseTom Lane2007-02-13

* Improve postmaster's behavior if an accept() call fails. Because the serverTom Lane2007-02-13
| | | | | | | socket is still read-ready, the code was a tight loop, wasting lots of CPU. We can't do anything to clear the failure, other than wait, but we should give other processes more chance to finish and release FDs; so insert a small sleep. Also, avoid bogus "close(-1)" in this case. Per report from Jim Nasby.

| | | | | | | | that overlap an outer join's min_righthand but aren't fully contained in it, to support joining within the RHS after having performed an outer join that can commute with this one. Aside from the direct fix in make_join_rel(), fix has_join_restriction() and GEQO's desirable_join() to consider this possibility. Per report from Ian Harding.
