* Repair "Halloween problem" in EvalPlanQual: a tuple that's been inserted byTom Lane2006-01-12
| | | | | | | | our own command (or more generally, xmin = our xact and cmin >= current command ID) should not be seen as good. Else we may try to update rows we already updated. This error was inserted last August while fixing the even bigger problem that the old coding wouldn't see *any* tuples inserted by our own transaction as good. Per report from Euler Taveira de Oliveira.
* Get rid of ExecAssignResultTypeFromOuterPlan() and make all plan node typesTom Lane2005-11-23
| | | | | | | | | | | generate their output tuple descriptors from their target lists (ie, using ExecAssignResultTypeFromTL()). We long ago fixed things so that all node types have minimally valid tlists, so there's no longer any good reason to have two different ways of doing it. This change is needed to fix bug reported by Hayden James: the fix of 2005-11-03 to emit the correct column names after optimizing away a SubqueryScan node didn't work if the new top-level plan node used ExecAssignResultTypeFromOuterPlan to generate its tupdesc, since the next plan node down won't have the correct column labels.

* _SPI_execute_plan failed to return result tuple table to caller inTom Lane2005-10-01
| | | | | | | | | the ProcessUtility case, resulting in an intratransaction memory leak if a utility command actually did return any tuples, as reported by Dmitry Karasik. Fix this and also make the behavior more consistent for cases involving nested SPI operations and multiple query trees, by ensuring that we store the state locally until it is ready to be returned to the caller.
* Repair problems with VACUUM destroying t_ctid chains too soon, and withTom Lane2005-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links. (We must do both because even with VACUUM doing it properly, the intermediate state with a dangling t_ctid link is visible concurrently during lazy VACUUM, and could be seen afterwards if either type of VACUUM crashes partway through.) Also try to improve documentation about what's going on. Patch is a bit bulky because passing the XMAX information around required changing the APIs of some low-level heapam.c routines, but it's not conceptually very complicated. Per trouble report from Teodor and subsequent analysis. This needs to be back-patched, but I'll do that after 8.1 beta is out.
* Revise nodeMergejoin in light of example provided by Guillaume Smet.Tom Lane2005-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | When one side of the join has a NULL, we don't want to uselessly try to match it against every remaining tuple of the other side. While at it, rewrite the comparison machinery to avoid multiple evaluations of the left and right input expressions and to use a btree comparator where available, instead of double operator calls. Also revise the state machine to eliminate redundant comparisons and hopefully make it more readable too.
* Change SPI functions to use a `long' when specifying the number of tuplesNeil Conway2005-05-02
| | | | | | | | to produce when running the executor. This is consistent with the internal executor APIs (such as ExecutorRun), which also use a long for this purpose. It also allows FETCH_ALL to be passed -- since FETCH_ALL is defined as LONG_MAX, this wouldn't have worked on platforms where int and long are of different sizes. Per report from Tzahi Fadida.
* Remove support for OR'd indexscans internal to a single IndexScan planTom Lane2005-04-25
| | | | | | | | node, as this behavior is now better done as a bitmap OR indexscan. This allows considerable simplification in nodeIndexscan.c itself as well as several planner modules concerned with indexscan plan generation. Also we can improve the sharing of code between regular and bitmap indexscans, since they are now working with nigh-identical Plan nodes.
* Create executor and planner-backend support for decoupled heap and indexTom Lane2005-04-19
| | | | | | | | | scans, using in-memory tuple ID bitmaps as the intermediary. The planner frontend (path creation and cost estimation) is not there yet, so none of this code can be executed. I have tested it using some hacked planner code that is far too ugly to see the light of day, however. Committing now so that the bulk of the infrastructure changes go in before the tree drifts under me.
* Create a new 'MultiExecProcNode' call API for plan nodes that don'tTom Lane2005-04-16
| | | | | | | return just a single tuple at a time. Currently the only such node type is Hash, but I expect we will soon have indexscans that can return tuple bitmaps. A side benefit is that EXPLAIN ANALYZE now shows the correct tuple count for a Hash node.
* First phase of OUT-parameters project. We can now define and use SQLTom Lane2005-03-31

* Improve EXPLAIN ANALYZE to show the time spent in each trigger whenTom Lane2005-03-25
| | | | | | | | executing a statement that fires triggers. Formerly this time was included in "Total runtime" but not otherwise accounted for. As a side benefit, we avoid re-opening relations when firing non-deferred AFTER triggers, because the trigger code can re-use the main executor's ResultRelInfo data structure.

* Revise TupleTableSlot code to avoid unnecessary construction and disassemblyTom Lane2005-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of tuples when passing data up through multiple plan nodes. A slot can now hold either a normal "physical" HeapTuple, or a "virtual" tuple consisting of Datum/isnull arrays. Upper plan levels can usually just copy the Datum arrays, avoiding heap_formtuple() and possible subsequent nocachegetattr() calls to extract the data again. This work extends Atsushi Ogawa's earlier patch, which provided the key idea of adding Datum arrays to TupleTableSlots. (I believe however that something like this was foreseen way back in Berkeley days --- see the old comment on ExecProject.) A test case involving many levels of join of fairly wide tables (about 80 columns altogether) showed about 3x overall speedup, though simple queries will probably not be helped very much. I have also duplicated some code in heaptuple.c in order to provide versions of heap_formtuple and friends that use "bool" arrays to indicate null attributes, instead of the old convention of "char" arrays containing either 'n' or ' '. This provides a better match to the convention used by ExecEvalExpr. While I have not made a concerted effort to get rid of uses of the old routines, I think they should be deprecated and eventually removed.
* Avoid O(N^2) overhead in repeated nocachegetattr calls when columns ofTom Lane2005-03-14
| | | | | | | | a tuple are being accessed via ExecEvalVar and the attcacheoff shortcut isn't usable (due to nulls and/or varlena columns). To do this, cache Datums extracted from a tuple in the associated TupleTableSlot. Also some code cleanup in and around the TupleTable handling. Atsushi Ogawa with some kibitzing by Tom Lane.
* Revise hash join code so that we can increase the number of batchesTom Lane2005-03-06
| | | | | | | on-the-fly, and thereby avoid blowing out memory when the planner has underestimated the hash table size. Hash join will now obey the work_mem limit with some faithfulness. Per my recent proposal (hash aggregate part isn't done yet though).
* Improve planner's estimation of the space needed for HashAgg plans:Tom Lane2005-01-28
| | | | | | look at the actual aggregate transition datatypes and the actual overhead needed by nodeAgg.c, instead of using pessimistic round numbers. Per a discussion with Michael Tiemann.

* Rethink plpgsql's way of handling SPI execution during an exception block.Tom Lane2004-11-16
| | | | | | | | | We don't really want to start a new SPI connection, just keep using the old one; otherwise we have memory management problems as illustrated by John Kennedy's bug report of today. This requires a bit of a hack to ensure the SPI stack state is properly restored, but then again what we were doing before was a hack too, strictly speaking. Add a regression test to cover this case.
* Fix problems with SQL functions returning rowtypes that have droppedTom Lane2004-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | columns. The returned tuple needs to have appropriate NULL columns inserted so that it actually matches the declared rowtype. It seemed convenient to use a JunkFilter for this, so I made some cleanups and simplifications in the JunkFilter code to allow it to support this additional functionality. (That in turn exposed a latent bug in nodeAppend.c, which is that it was returning a tuple slot whose descriptor didn't match its data.) Also, move check_sql_fn_retval out of pg_proc.c and into functions.c, where it seems to more naturally belong.

* ExecProcAppend() wasn't called ExecAppend() because the latter name wasNeil Conway2004-09-24
| | | | | formerly used in execMain. Since that is no longer the case, this patch renames ExecProcAppend() to ExecAppend() for the sake of consistency.
* Arrange for hash join to skip scanning the outer relation if it detectsTom Lane2004-09-22
| | | | | that the inner one is completely empty. Per recent discussion. Also some cosmetic cleanups in nearby code.
* Restructure subtransaction handling to reduce resource consumption,Tom Lane2004-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as per recent discussions. Invent SubTransactionIds that are managed like CommandIds (ie, counter is reset at start of each top transaction), and use these instead of TransactionIds to keep track of subtransaction status in those modules that need it. This means that a subtransaction does not need an XID unless it actually inserts/modifies rows in the database. Accordingly, don't assign it an XID nor take a lock on the XID until it tries to do that. This saves a lot of overhead for subtransactions that are only used for error recovery (eg plpgsql exceptions). Also, arrange to release a subtransaction's XID lock as soon as the subtransaction exits, in both the commit and abort cases. This avoids holding many unique locks after a long series of subtransactions. The price is some additional overhead in XactLockTableWait, but that seems acceptable. Finally, restructure the state machine in xact.c to have a more orthogonal set of states for subtransactions.
* Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTEDTom Lane2004-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.) As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.

* Nested transactions. There is still much left to do, especially on theTom Lane2004-07-01

* Promote row expressions to full-fledged citizens of the expression syntax,Tom Lane2004-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | rather than allowing them only in a few special cases as before. In particular you can now pass a ROW() construct to a function that accepts a rowtype parameter. Internal generation of RowExprs fixes a number of corner cases that used to not work very well, such as referencing the whole-row result of a JOIN or subquery. This represents a further step in the work I started a month or so back to make rowtype values into first-class citizens.
* Replace TupleTableSlot convention for whole-row variables and functionTom Lane2004-04-01
| | | | | | | | results with tuples as ordinary varlena Datums. This commit does not in itself do much for us, except eliminate the horrid memory leak associated with evaluation of whole-row variables. However, it lays the groundwork for allowing composite types as table columns, and perhaps some other useful features as well. Per my proposal of a few days ago.

* Replace the switching function ExecEvalExpr() with a macro that jumpsTom Lane2004-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | directly to the appropriate per-node execution function, using a function pointer stored by ExecInitExpr. This speeds things up by eliminating one level of function call. The function-pointer technique also enables further small improvements such as only making one-time tests once (and then changing the function pointer). Overall this seems to gain about 10% on evaluation of simple expressions, which isn't earthshaking but seems a worthwhile gain for a relatively small hack. Per recent discussion on pghackers.

* Fix oversight in optimization that avoids an unnecessary projection stepTom Lane2004-01-22

* Fix permission-checking bug reported by Tim Burgess 10-Feb-03 (this timeTom Lane2004-01-14
| | | | | | | | | for sure...). Rather than relying on the query context of a rangetable entry to identify what permissions it wants checked, store a full AclMode mask in each RTE, and check exactly those bits. This allows an RTE specifying, say, INSERT privilege on a view to be copied into a derived UPDATE query without changing meaning. Per recent discussion thread. initdb forced due to change of stored rule representation.
* Ensure set-returning functions in the targetlist of a plan node will beTom Lane2003-12-18

* Repair RI trigger visibility problems (this time for sure ;-)) per recentTom Lane2003-10-01
| | | | | | | discussion on pgsql-hackers: in READ COMMITTED mode we just have to force a QuerySnapshot update in the trigger, but in SERIALIZABLE mode we have to run the scan under a current snapshot and then complain if any rows would be updated/deleted that are not visible in the transaction snapshot.
* Get rid of ReferentialIntegritySnapshotOverride by extending Executor APITom Lane2003-09-25

* Improve dynahash.c's API so that caller can specify the comparison functionTom Lane2003-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | as well as the hash function (formerly the comparison function was hardwired as memcmp()). This makes it possible to eliminate the special-purpose hashtable management code in execGrouping.c in favor of using dynahash to manage tuple hashtables; which is a win because dynahash knows how to expand a hashtable when the original size estimate was too small, whereas the special-purpose code was too stupid to do that. (See recent gripe from Stephan Szabo about poor performance when hash table size estimate is way off.) Free side benefit: when using string_hash, the default comparison function is now strncmp() instead of memcmp(). This should eliminate some part of the overhead associated with larger NAMEDATALEN values.
