* First cut at implementing IN (and NOT IN) via hashtables. There isTom Lane2003-01-12
| | | | more to be done yet, but this is a good start.
* Create a new file executor/execGrouping.c to centralize utility routinesTom Lane2003-01-10
| | | | shared by nodeGroup, nodeAgg, and soon nodeSubplan.
* Adjust Tcl-related code to compile cleanly with Tcl 8.4 (add const modifiers asTom Lane2002-12-30
| | | | needed). Some desultory const-ification of SPI interface to support this.
* Better solution to integer overflow problem in hash batch-numberTom Lane2002-12-30
| | | | | | | computation: reduce the bucket number mod nbatch. This changes the association between original bucket numbers and batches, but that doesn't matter. Minor other cleanups in hashjoin code to help centralize decisions.
* Tweak default memory context allocation policy so that a context is notTom Lane2002-12-15
| | | | | | | | | given any malloc block until something is first allocated in it; but thereafter, MemoryContextReset won't release that first malloc block. This preserves the quick-reset property of the original policy, without forcing 8K to be allocated to every context whether any of it is ever used or not. Also, remove some more no-longer-needed explicit freeing during ExecEndPlan.
* Revise executor APIs so that all per-query state structure is built inTom Lane2002-12-15
| | | | | | a per-query memory context created by CreateExecutorState --- and destroyed by FreeExecutorState. This provides a final solution to the longstanding problem of memory leaked by various ExecEndNode calls.
* Clean up plantree representation of SubPlan-s --- SubLink does not appearTom Lane2002-12-14
| | | | | | | | in the planned representation of a subplan at all any more, only SubPlan. This means subselect.c doesn't scribble on its input anymore, which seems like a good thing; and there are no longer three different possible interpretations of a SubLink. Simplify node naming and improve comments in primnodes.h. No change to stored rules, though.
* Phase 3 of read-only-plans project: ExecInitExpr now builds expressionTom Lane2002-12-13
| | | | | | | execution state trees, and ExecEvalExpr takes an expression state tree not an expression plan tree. The plan tree is now read-only as far as the executor is concerned. Next step is to begin actually exploiting this property.
* Phase 2 of read-only-plans project: restructure expression-tree nodesTom Lane2002-12-12
| | | | | | | | | so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least a little space and speed improvement. initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.
* Phase 1 of read-only-plans project: cause executor state nodes to pointTom Lane2002-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | to plan nodes, not vice-versa. All executor state nodes now inherit from struct PlanState. Copying of plan trees has been simplified by not storing a list of SubPlans in Plan nodes (eliminating duplicate links). The executor still needs such a list, but it can build it during ExecutorStart since it has to scan the plan tree anyway. No initdb forced since no stored-on-disk structures changed, but you will need a full recompile because of node-numbering changes.
* Fix ExecMakeTableFunctionResult() to work with generic expressions asTom Lane2002-12-01
| | | | | | well as function calls. This is needed for cases where the planner has constant-folded or inlined the original function call. Possibly we should back-patch this change into 7.3 branch as well.
* Be more realistic about plans involving Materialize nodes: take theirTom Lane2002-11-30
| | | | cost into account while planning.
* Upgrade planner and executor to allow multiple hash keys for a hash join,Tom Lane2002-11-30
| | | | | | instead of only one. This should speed up planning (only one hash path to consider for a given pair of relations) as well as allow more effective hashing, when there are multiple hashable joinclauses.
* Phase 2 of hashed-aggregation project. nodeAgg.c now knows how to doTom Lane2002-11-06
| | | | hashed aggregation, but there's not yet planner support for it.
* Make SPI's execution of querystrings follow the rules agreed to forTom Lane2002-10-14
| | | | | | | command status at the interactive level. SPI_processed, etc are set in the same way as the returned command status would have been set if the same querystring were issued interactively. Per gripe from Michael Paesold 25-Sep-02.
* pgindent run.Bruce Momjian2002-09-04

* 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.
* Add expected tuple descriptor to ReturnSetInfo information for tableTom Lane2002-08-30
| | | | | | functions, per suggestion from John Gray and Joe Conway. Also, fix plpgsql RETURN NEXT to verify that returned values match the expected tupdesc.
* PL/pgSQL functions can return sets. Neil Conway's patch, modified soTom Lane2002-08-30
| | | | | that the functionality is available to anyone via ReturnSetInfo, rather than hard-wiring it to PL/pgSQL.
* Code review for standalone composite types, query-specified compositeTom Lane2002-08-29
| | | | | types, SRFs. Not happy with memory management yet, but I'll commit these other changes.
* ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN works. Patch by Christopher Kings-Lynne,Tom Lane2002-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!) a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what to do here. Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
* Code review for SHOW output changes; fix horology expected files forTom Lane2002-07-20
| | | | new SHOW output format.

If this one is > rejected please go ahead with the July 9th patch. The July 9th Table Function API patch mentioned above is now in CVS, so here is an updated version of the guc patch which should apply cleanly against CVS tip. Joe Conway
* 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

* Mark index entries "killed" when they are no longer visible to anyTom Lane2002-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | transaction, so as to avoid returning them out of the index AM. Saves repeated heap_fetch operations on frequently-updated rows. Also detect queries on unique keys (equality to all columns of a unique index), and don't bother continuing scan once we have found first match. Killing is implemented in the btree and hash AMs, but not yet in rtree or gist, because there isn't an equally convenient place to do it in those AMs (the outer amgetnext routine can't do it without re-pinning the index page). Did some small cleanup on APIs of HeapTupleSatisfies, heap_fetch, and index_insert to make this a little easier.
* Remove global variable scanCommandId in favor of storing a command IDTom Lane2002-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | in snapshots, per my proposal of a few days ago. Also, tweak heapam.c routines (heap_insert, heap_update, heap_delete, heap_mark4update) to be passed the command ID to use, instead of doing GetCurrentCommandID. For catalog updates they'll still get passed current command ID, but for updates generated from the main executor they'll get passed the command ID saved in the snapshot the query is using. This should fix some corner cases associated with functions and triggers that advance current command ID while an outer query is still in progress.
* Get rid of long-since-vestigial Iter node type, in favor of adding aTom Lane2002-05-12
| | | | | | | returns-set boolean field in Func and Oper nodes. This allows cleaner, more reliable tests for expressions returning sets in the planner and parser. For example, a WHERE clause returning a set is now detected and complained of in the parser, not only at runtime.
* First pass at set-returning-functions in FROM, by Joe Conway withTom Lane2002-05-12
| | | | | | some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
* Restructure representation of aggregate functions so that they have pg_procTom Lane2002-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c. Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like, but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided breaking regression tests as much as I could.
* Clean up BeginCommand and related routines. BeginCommand and EndCommandTom Lane2002-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | are now both invoked once per received SQL command (raw parsetree) from pg_exec_query_string. BeginCommand is actually just an empty routine at the moment --- all its former operations have been pushed into tuple receiver setup routines in printtup.c. This makes for a clean distinction between BeginCommand/EndCommand (once per command) and the tuple receiver setup/teardown routines (once per ExecutorRun call), whereas the old code was quite ad hoc. Along the way, clean up the calling conventions for ExecutorRun a little bit.
* 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).

* EXPLAIN ANALYZE feature to measure and show actual runtimes and tupleTom Lane2001-09-18
| | | | | counts alongside the planner's estimates. By Martijn van Oosterhout, with some further work by Tom Lane.
* Add a SPI_copytupledesc function that parallels SPI_copytuple --- ie,Tom Lane2001-08-02
| | | | | it copies the tupdesc into upper-executor memory. This is necessary for returning tuple descriptors without leaking all of lower exec memory.
* Make planner compute the number of hash buckets the same way thatTom Lane2001-06-11

* When using a junkfilter, the output tuple should NOT be stored back intoTom Lane2001-05-27
| | | | | | | | the same tuple slot that the raw tuple came from, because that slot has the wrong tuple descriptor. Store it into its own slot with the correct descriptor, instead. This repairs problems with SPI functions seeing inappropriate tuple descriptors --- for example, plpgsql code failing to cope with SELECT FOR UPDATE.
* Enhancement of SPI to get access to portalsJan Wieck2001-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - New functions to create a portal using a prepared/saved SPI plan or lookup an existing portal by name. - Functions to fetch/move from/in portals. Results are placed in the usual SPI_processed and SPI_tuptable, so the entire set of utility functions can be used to gain attribute access. - Prepared/saved SPI plans now use their own memory context and SPI_freeplan(plan) can remove them. - Tuple result sets (SPI_tuptable) now uses it's own memory context and can be free'd by SPI_freetuptable(tuptab). Enhancement of PL/pgSQL - Uses generic named portals internally in FOR ... SELECT loops to avoid running out of memory on huge result sets. - Support for CURSOR and REFCURSOR syntax using the new SPI functionality. Cursors used internally only need no explicit transaction block. Refcursor variables can be used inside of explicit transaction block to pass cursors between main application and functions. Jan

* Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: thereTom Lane2001-02-10
| | | | | | | | | | | are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand. Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
