* Fix postgres_fdw to check shippability of sort clauses properly.Tom Lane2022-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | postgres_fdw would push ORDER BY clauses to the remote side without verifying that the sort operator is safe to ship. Moreover, it failed to print a suitable USING clause if the sort operator isn't default for the sort expression's type. The net result of this is that the remote sort might not have anywhere near the semantics we expect, which'd be disastrous for locally-performed merge joins in particular. We addressed similar issues in the context of ORDER BY within an aggregate function call in commit 7012b132d, but failed to notice that query-level ORDER BY was broken. Thus, much of the necessary logic already existed, but it requires refactoring to be usable in both cases. Back-patch to all supported branches. In HEAD only, remove the core code's copy of find_em_expr_for_rel, which is no longer used and really should never have been pushed into equivclass.c in the first place.

* Make postgres_fdw's "Relations" output agree with the rest of EXPLAIN.Tom Lane2019-12-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The relation aliases shown in the "Relations" line for a foreign scan didn't always agree with those used in the rest of EXPLAIN's output. The regression test result changes appearing here provide examples. It's really impossible for postgres_fdw to duplicate EXPLAIN's alias assignment logic during postgresGetForeignRelSize(), because of the de-duplication that EXPLAIN does on a global basis --- and anyway, trying to duplicate that would be unmaintainable. Instead, just put numeric rangetable indexes into the string, and convert those to table names/aliases in postgresExplainForeignScan, which does have access to the results of ruleutils.c's alias assignment logic. Aside from being more reliable, this shifts some work from planning to EXPLAIN, which is a good tradeoff for performance. (I also changed from using StringInfo to using psprintf, which makes the code slightly simpler and reduces its memory consumption.) A kluge required by this solution is that we have to reverse-engineer the rtoffset applied by setrefs.c. If that logic ever fails (presumably because the member tables of a join got offset by different amounts), we'll need some more cooperation with setrefs.c to keep things straight. But for now, there's no need for that. Arguably this is a back-patchable bug fix, but since this is a mostly cosmetic issue and there have been no field complaints, I'll refrain for now.

* postgres_fdw: Fix costing of pre-sorted foreign paths with local stats.Etsuro Fujita2019-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit aa09cd242 modified estimate_path_cost_size() so that it reuses cached costs of a basic foreign path for a given foreign-base/join relation when costing pre-sorted foreign paths for that relation, but it incorrectly re-computed retrieved_rows, an estimated number of rows fetched from the remote side, which is needed for costing both the basic and pre-sorted foreign paths. To fix, handle retrieved_rows the same way as the cached costs: store in that relation's fpinfo the retrieved_rows estimate computed for costing the basic foreign path, and reuse it when costing the pre-sorted foreign paths. Also, reuse the rows/width estimates stored in that relation's fpinfo when costing the pre-sorted foreign paths, to make the code consistent. In commit ffab494a4, to extend the costing mentioned above to the foreign-grouping case, I made a change to add_foreign_grouping_paths() to store in a given foreign-grouped relation's RelOptInfo the rows estimate for that relation for reuse, but this patch makes that change unnecessary since we already store the row estimate in that relation's fpinfo, which this patch reuses when costing a foreign path for that relation with the sortClause ordering; remove that change. In passing, fix thinko in commit 7012b132d: in estimate_path_cost_size(), the width estimate for a given foreign-grouped relation to be stored in that relation's fpinfo was reset incorrectly when costing a basic foreign path for that relation with local stats. Apply the patch to HEAD only to avoid destabilizing existing plan choices. Author: Etsuro Fujita Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAPmGK17jaJLPDEkgnP2VmkOg=5wT8YQ1CqssU8JRpZ_NSE+dqQ@mail.gmail.com

* Avoid postgres_fdw crash for a targetlist entry that's just a Param.Tom Lane2019-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | foreign_grouping_ok() is willing to put fairly arbitrary expressions into the targetlist of a remote SELECT that's doing grouping or aggregation on the remote side, including expressions that have no foreign component to them at all. This is possibly a bit dubious from an efficiency standpoint; but it rises to the level of a crash-causing bug if the expression is just a Param or non-foreign Var. In that case, the expression will necessarily also appear in the fdw_exprs list of values we need to send to the remote server, and then setrefs.c's set_foreignscan_references will mistakenly replace the fdw_exprs entry with a Var referencing the targetlist result. The root cause of this problem is bad design in commit e7cb7ee14: it put logic into set_foreignscan_references that IMV is postgres_fdw-specific, and yet this bug shows that it isn't postgres_fdw-specific enough. The transformation being done on fdw_exprs assumes that fdw_exprs is to be evaluated with the fdw_scan_tlist as input, which is not how postgres_fdw uses it; yet it could be the right thing for some other FDW. (In the bigger picture, setrefs.c has no business assuming this for the other expression fields of a ForeignScan either.) The right fix therefore would be to expand the FDW API so that the FDW could inform setrefs.c how it intends to evaluate these various expressions. We can't change that in the back branches though, and we also can't just summarily change setrefs.c's behavior there, or we're likely to break external FDWs. As a stopgap, therefore, hack up postgres_fdw so that it won't attempt to send targetlist entries that look exactly like the fdw_exprs entries they'd produce. In most cases this actually produces a superior plan, IMO, with less data needing to be transmitted and returned; so we probably ought to think harder about whether we should ship tlist expressions at all when they don't contain any foreign Vars or Aggs. But that's an optimization not a bug fix so I left it for later. One case where this produces an inferior plan is where the expression in question is actually a GROUP BY expression: then the restriction prevents us from using remote grouping. It might be possible to work around that (since that would reduce to group-by-a-constant on the remote side); but it seems like a pretty unlikely corner case, so I'm not sure it's worth expending effort solely to improve that. In any case the right long-term answer is to fix the API as sketched above, and then revert this hack. Per bug #15781 from Sean Johnston. Back-patch to v10 where the problem was introduced.

* postgres_fdw: Perform the (FINAL, NULL) upperrel operations remotely.Etsuro Fujita2019-04-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The upper-planner pathification allows FDWs to arrange to push down different types of upper-stage operations to the remote side. This commit teaches postgres_fdw to do it for the (FINAL, NULL) upperrel, which is responsible for doing LockRows, LIMIT, and/or ModifyTable. This provides the ability for postgres_fdw to handle SELECT commands so that it 1) skips the LockRows step (if any) (note that this is safe since it performs early locking) and 2) pushes down the LIMIT and/or OFFSET restrictions (if any) to the remote side. This doesn't handle the INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE cases. Author: Etsuro Fujita Reviewed-By: Antonin Houska and Jeff Janes Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/87pnz1aby9.fsf@news-spur.riddles.org.uk

* Fix WITH CHECK OPTION on views referencing postgres_fdw tables.Jeff Davis2018-07-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If a view references a foreign table, and the foreign table has a BEFORE INSERT trigger, then it's possible for a tuple inserted or updated through the view to be changed such that it violates the view's WITH CHECK OPTION constraint. Before this commit, postgres_fdw handled this case inconsistently. A RETURNING clause on the INSERT or UPDATE statement targeting the view would cause the finally-inserted tuple to be read back, and the WITH CHECK OPTION violation would throw an error. But without a RETURNING clause, postgres_fdw would not read the final tuple back, and WITH CHECK OPTION would not throw an error for the violation (or may throw an error when there is no real violation). AFTER ROW triggers on the foreign table had a similar effect as a RETURNING clause on the INSERT or UPDATE statement. To fix, this commit retrieves the attributes needed to enforce the WITH CHECK OPTION constraint along with the attributes needed for the RETURNING clause (if any) from the remote side. Thus, the WITH CHECK OPTION constraint is always evaluated against the final tuple after any triggers on the remote side. This fix may be considered inconsistent with CHECK constraints declared on foreign tables, which are not enforced locally at all (because the constraint is on a remote object). The discussion concluded that this difference is reasonable, because the WITH CHECK OPTION is a constraint on the local view (not any remote object); therefore it only makes sense to enforce its WITH CHECK OPTION constraint locally.

* Fix interaction of foreign tuple routing with remote triggers.Robert Haas2018-05-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without these fixes, changes to the inserted tuple made by remote triggers are ignored when building local RETURNING tuples. In the core code, call ExecInitRoutingInfo at a later point from within ExecInitPartitionInfo so that the FDW callback gets invoked after the returning list has been built. But move CheckValidResultRel out of ExecInitRoutingInfo so that it can happen at an earlier stage. In postgres_fdw, refactor assorted deparsing functions to work with the RTE rather than the PlannerInfo, which saves us having to construct a fake PlannerInfo in cases where we don't have a real one. Then, we can pass down a constructed RTE that yields the correct deparse result when no real one exists. Unfortunately, this necessitates a hack that understands how the core code manages RT indexes for update tuple routing, which is ugly, but we don't have a better idea right now.

* postgres_fdw: Push down UPDATE/DELETE joins to remote servers.Robert Haas2018-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0bf3ae88af330496517722e391e7c975e6bad219 allowed direct foreign table modification; instead of fetching each row, updating it locally, and then pushing the modification back to the remote side, we would instead do all the work on the remote server via a single remote UPDATE or DELETE command. However, that commit only enabled this optimization when join tree consisted only of the target table. This change allows the same optimization when an UPDATE statement has a FROM clause or a DELETE statement has a USING clause. This works much like ordinary foreign join pushdown, in that the tables must be on the same remote server, relevant parts of the query must be pushdown-safe, and so forth.

* Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

* Simplify handling of remote-qual pass-forward in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2017-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 0bf3ae88a encountered a need to pass the finally chosen remote qual conditions forward from postgresGetForeignPlan to postgresPlanDirectModify. It solved that by sticking them into the plan node's fdw_private list, which in hindsight was a pretty bad idea. In the first place, there's no use for those qual trees either in EXPLAIN or execution; indeed they could never safely be used for any post-planning purposes, because they would not get processed by setrefs.c. So they're just dead weight to carry around in the finished plan tree, plus being an attractive nuisance for somebody who might get the idea that they could be used that way. Secondly, because those qual trees (sometimes) contained RestrictInfos, they created a plan-transmission hazard for parallel query, which is how come we noticed a problem. We dealt with that symptom in commit 28b047875, but really a more straightforward and more efficient fix is to pass the data through in a new field of struct PgFdwRelationInfo. So do it that way. (There's no need to revert 28b047875, as it has sufficient reason to live anyway.) Per fuzz testing by Andreas Seltenreich. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/87tw5x4vcu.fsf@credativ.de
* Handle restriction clause lists more uniformly in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2017-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Clauses in the lists retained by postgres_fdw during planning were sometimes bare boolean clauses, sometimes RestrictInfos, and sometimes a mixture of the two in the same list. The comment about that situation didn't come close to telling the full truth, either. Aside from being confusing, this had a couple of bad practical consequences: * waste of planning cycles due to inability to cache per-clause selectivity and cost estimates; * sometimes, RestrictInfos would sneak into the fdw_private list of a finished Plan node, causing failures if, for example, we tried to ship the Plan tree to a parallel worker. (It may well be that it's a bug in the parallel-query logic that we would ever try to ship such a plan to a parallel worker, but in any case this deserves to be cleaned up.) To fix, rearrange so that clause lists in PgFdwRelationInfo are always lists of RestrictInfos, and then strip the RestrictInfos at the last minute when making a Plan node. In passing do a bit of refactoring and comment cleanup in postgresGetForeignPlan and foreign_join_ok. Although the messiness here dates back at least to 9.6, there's no evidence that it causes anything worse than wasted planning cycles in 9.6, so no back-patch for now.

In particular, if all relevant users are mapped to the public user mapping, then their connection options are certainly the same, so one connection can be used for all of them. While we're cleaning things up here, drop the "server" argument to GetConnection(), which isn't really needed. This saves a few cycles because callers no longer have to look this up; the function itself does, but only when establishing a new connection, not when reusing an existing one.

* Allow postgres_fdw to ship extension funcs/operators for remote execution.Tom Lane2015-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The user can whitelist specified extension(s) in the foreign server's options, whereupon we will treat immutable functions and operators of those extensions as candidates to be sent for remote execution. Whitelisting an extension in this way basically promises that the extension exists on the remote server and behaves compatibly with the local instance. We have no way to prove that formally, so we have to rely on the user to get it right. But this seems like something that people can usually get right in practice. We might in future allow functions and operators to be whitelisted individually, but extension granularity is a very convenient special case, so it got done first. The patch as-committed lacks any regression tests, which is unfortunate, but introducing dependencies on other extensions for testing purposes would break "make installcheck" scenarios, which is worse. I have some ideas about klugy ways around that, but it seems like material for a separate patch. For the moment, leave the problem open. Paul Ramsey, hacked up a bit more by me
* postgres_fdw: Add ORDER BY to some remote SQL queries.Robert Haas2015-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the join problem's entire ORDER BY clause can be pushed to the remote server, consider a path that adds this ORDER BY clause. If use_remote_estimate is on, we cost this path using an additional remote EXPLAIN. If not, we just estimate that the path costs 20% more, which is intended to be large enough that we won't request a remote sort when it's not helpful, but small enough that we'll have the remote side do the sort when in doubt. In some cases, the remote sort might actually be free, because the remote query plan might happen to produce output that is ordered the way we need, but without remote estimates we have no way of knowing that. It might also be useful to request sorted output from the remote side if it enables an efficient merge join, but this patch doesn't attempt to handle that case. Ashutosh Bapat with revisions by me.

* Add support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE.Andres Freund2015-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting. ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias. This feature is often referred to as upsert. This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken. If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is deemed inserted. To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT INTO now can alias its target table.

| | | | | | | | | | | This command provides an automated way to create foreign table definitions that match remote tables, thereby reducing tedium and chances for error. In this patch, we provide the necessary core-server infrastructure and implement the feature fully in the postgres_fdw foreign-data wrapper. Other wrappers will throw a "feature not supported" error until/unless they are updated. Ronan Dunklau and Michael Paquier, additional work by me
* Fix contrib/postgres_fdw to handle multiple join conditions properly.Tom Lane2014-03-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding supposed that it could consider just a single join condition in any one parameterized path for the foreign table. But in reality, the parameterized-path machinery forces all join clauses that are "movable to" the foreign table to be evaluated at that node; including clauses that we might not consider safe to send across. Such cases would result in an Assert failure in an assert-enabled build, and otherwise in sending an unsafe clause to the foreign server, which might result in errors or silently-wrong answers. A lesser problem was that the cost/rowcount estimates generated for the parameterized path failed to account for any additional join quals that get assigned to the scan. To fix, rewrite postgresGetForeignPaths so that it correctly collects all the movable quals for any one outer relation when generating parameterized paths; we'll now generate just one path per outer relation not one per join qual. Also fix bogus assumptions in postgresGetForeignPlan and estimate_path_cost_size that only safe-to-send join quals will be presented. Based on complaint from Etsuro Fujita that the path costs were being miscalculated, though this is significantly different from his proposed patch.
* Improve connection-failure error handling in contrib/postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2014-02-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | postgres_fdw tended to say "unknown error" if it tried to execute a command on an already-dead connection, because some paths in libpq just return a null PGresult for such cases. Out-of-memory might result in that, too. To fix, pass the PGconn to pgfdw_report_error, and look at its PQerrorMessage() string if we can't get anything out of the PGresult. Also, fix the transaction-exit logic to reliably drop a dead connection. It was attempting to do that already, but it assumed that only connection cache entries with xact_depth > 0 needed to be examined. The folly in that is that if we fail while issuing START TRANSACTION, we'll not have bumped xact_depth. (At least for the case I was testing, this fix masks the other problem; but it still seems like a good idea to have the PGconn fallback logic.) Per investigation of bug #9087 from Craig Lucas. Backpatch to 9.3 where this code was introduced.
* Update copyright for 2014Bruce Momjian2014-01-07
| | | | | Update all files in head, and files COPYRIGHT and legal.sgml in all back branches.
* pgindent run for release 9.3Bruce Momjian2013-05-29
| | | | | This is the first run of the Perl-based pgindent script. Also update pgindent instructions.
* Avoid retrieving dummy NULL columns in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-03-22
| | | | | | | This should provide some marginal overall savings, since it surely takes many more cycles for the remote server to deal with the NULL columns than it takes for postgres_fdw not to emit them. But really the reason is to keep the emitted queries from looking quite so silly ...
* Redo postgres_fdw's planner code so it can handle parameterized paths.Tom Lane2013-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | I wasn't going to ship this without having at least some example of how to do that. This version isn't terribly bright; in particular it won't consider any combinations of multiple join clauses. Given the cost of executing a remote EXPLAIN, I'm not sure we want to be very aggressive about doing that, anyway. In support of this, refactor generate_implied_equalities_for_indexcol so that it can be used to extract equivalence clauses that aren't necessarily tied to an index.
* Fix contrib/postgres_fdw's handling of column defaults.Tom Lane2013-03-12
| | | | | | | | | Adopt the position that only locally-defined defaults matter. Any defaults defined in the remote database do not affect insertions performed through a foreign table (unless they are for columns not known to the foreign table). While it'd arguably be more useful to permit remote defaults to be used, making that work in a consistent fashion requires far more work than seems possible for 9.3.
* Fix postgres_fdw's issues with inconsistent interpretation of data values.Tom Lane2013-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For datatypes whose output formatting depends on one or more GUC settings, we have to worry about whether the other server will interpret the value the same way it was meant. pg_dump has been aware of this hazard for a long time, but postgres_fdw needs to deal with it too. To fix data retrieval from the remote server, set the necessary remote GUC settings at connection startup. (We were already assuming that settings made then would persist throughout the remote session.) To fix data transmission to the remote server, temporarily force the relevant GUCs to the right values when we're about to convert any data values to text for transmission. This is all pretty grotty, and not very cheap either. It's tempting to think of defining one uber-GUC that would override any settings that might render printed data values unportable. But of course, older remote servers wouldn't know any such thing and would still need this logic. While at it, revert commit f7951eef89be78c50ea2241f593d76dfefe176c9, since this provides a real fix. (The timestamptz given in the error message returned from the "remote" server will now reliably be shown in UTC.)
* Support writable foreign tables.Tom Lane2013-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the core-system infrastructure needed to support updates on foreign tables, and extends contrib/postgres_fdw to allow updates against remote Postgres servers. There's still a great deal of room for improvement in optimization of remote updates, but at least there's basic functionality there now. KaiGai Kohei, reviewed by Alexander Korotkov and Laurenz Albe, and rather heavily revised by Tom Lane.
* Fix some planning oversights in postgres_fdw.Tom Lane2013-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | Include eval costs of local conditions in remote-estimate mode, and don't assume the remote eval cost is zero in local-estimate mode. (The best we can do with that at the moment is to assume a seqscan, which may well be wildly pessimistic ... but zero won't do at all.) To get a reasonable local estimate, we need to know the relpages count for the remote rel, so improve the ANALYZE code to fetch that rather than just setting the foreign table's relpages field to zero.
* Add postgres_fdw contrib module.Tom Lane2013-02-21
There's still a lot of room for improvement, but it basically works, and we need this to be present before we can do anything much with the writable-foreign-tables patch. So let's commit it and get on with testing. Shigeru Hanada, reviewed by KaiGai Kohei and Tom Lane
