* Allow the planner-related functions and hook to accept the query string.Fujii Masao2020-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit adds query_string argument into the planner-related functions and hook and allows us to pass the query string to them. Currently there is no user of the query string passed. But the upcoming patch for the planning counters will add the planning hook function into pg_stat_statements and the function will need the query string. So this change will be necessary for that patch. Also this change is useful for some extensions that want to use the query string in their planner hook function.

* Phase 2 pgindent run for v12.Tom Lane2019-05-22
| | | | | | | | | Switch to 2.1 version of pg_bsd_indent. This formats multiline function declarations "correctly", that is with additional lines of parameter declarations indented to match where the first line's left parenthesis is.

* Add support for multivariate MCV listsTomas Vondra2019-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a third extended statistic type, supported by the CREATE STATISTICS command - MCV lists, a generalization of the statistic already built and used for individual columns. Compared to the already supported types (n-distinct coefficients and functional dependencies), MCV lists are more complex, include column values and allow estimation of much wider range of common clauses (equality and inequality conditions, IS NULL, IS NOT NULL etc.). Similarly to the other types, a new pseudo-type (pg_mcv_list) is used.

* Allow extensions to generate lossy index conditions.Tom Lane2019-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For a long time, indxpath.c has had the ability to extract derived (lossy) index conditions from certain operators such as LIKE. For just as long, it's been obvious that we really ought to make that capability available to extensions. This commit finally accomplishes that, by adding another API for planner support functions that lets them create derived index conditions for their functions. As proof of concept, the hardwired "special index operator" code formerly present in indxpath.c is pushed out to planner support functions attached to LIKE and other relevant operators. A weak spot in this design is that an extension needs to know OIDs for the operators, datatypes, and opfamilies involved in the transformation it wants to make. The core-code prototypes use hard-wired OID references but extensions don't have that option for their own operators etc. It's usually possible to look up the required info, but that may be slow and inconvenient. However, improving that situation is a separate task. I want to do some additional refactorization around selfuncs.c, but that also seems like a separate task.

* Rename nodes/relation.h to nodes/pathnodes.h.Tom Lane2019-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The old name of this file was never a very good indication of what it was for. Now that there's also access/relation.h, we have a potential confusion hazard as well, so let's rename it to something more apropos. Per discussion, "pathnodes.h" is reasonable, since a good fraction of the file is Path node definitions. While at it, tweak a couple of other headers that were gratuitously importing relation.h into modules that don't need it. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/7719.1548688728@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Refactor planner's header files.Tom Lane2019-01-29
Create a new header optimizer/optimizer.h, which exposes just the planner functions that can be used "at arm's length", without need to access Paths or the other planner-internal data structures defined in nodes/relation.h. This is intended to provide the whole planner API seen by most of the rest of the system; although FDWs still need to use additional stuff, and more thought is also needed about just what selfuncs.c should rely on. The main point of doing this now is to limit the amount of new #include baggage that will be needed by "planner support functions", which I expect to introduce later, and which will be in relevant datatype modules rather than anywhere near the planner. This commit just moves relevant declarations into optimizer.h from other header files (a couple of which go away because everything got moved), and adjusts #include lists to match. There's further cleanup that could be done if we want to decide that some stuff being exposed by optimizer.h doesn't belong in the planner at all, but I'll leave that for another day.
