* Remove unused #include's from backend .c filesPeter Eisentraut2024-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU) While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more specific #include replaces another less specific one. Some manual adjustments of the automatic result: - IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so those includes are being kept manually. - All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to play it safe. - No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the patch from exploding in size. Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in header files changes in hidden ways. As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

* New header varatt.h split off from postgres.hPeter Eisentraut2023-01-10
| | | | | | | | | This new header contains all the variable-length data types support (TOAST support) from postgres.h, which isn't needed by large parts of the backend code.

* Fix incorrect uses of Datum conversion macrosPeter Eisentraut2022-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | Since these macros just cast whatever you give them to the designated output type, and many normal uses also cast the output type further, a number of incorrect uses go undiscovered. The fixes in this patch have been discovered by changing these macros to inline functions, which is the subject of a future patch.

* Remove error message hints mentioning configure optionsPeter Eisentraut2022-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | These are usually not useful since users will use packaged distributions and won't be interested in rebuilding their installation from source. Also, we have only used these kinds of hints for some features and in some places, not consistently throughout.

* Tidy up more loose ends related to configurable TOAST compression.Robert Haas2021-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the default_toast_compression GUC to be an enum rather than a string. Earlier, uncommitted versions of the patch supported using CREATE ACCESS METHOD to add new compression methods to a running system, but that idea was dropped before commit. So, we can simplify the GUC handling as well, which has the nice side effect of improving the error messages. While updating the documentation to reflect the new GUC type, also move it back to the right place in the list. I moved this while revising what became commit 24f0e395ac5892cd12e8914646fe921fac5ba23d, but apparently the intended ordering is "alphabetical" rather than "whatever Robert thinks looks nice." Rejigger things to avoid having access/toast_compression.h depend on utils/guc.h, so that we don't end up with every file that includes it also depending on something largely unrelated. Move a few inline functions back into the C source file partly to help reduce dependencies and partly just to avoid clutter. A few very minor cosmetic fixes. Original patch by Justin Pryzby, but very heavily edited by me, and reverse reviewed by him and also reviewed by by Tom Lane.

* Mostly-cosmetic adjustments of TOAST-related macros.Tom Lane2021-03-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The authors of bbe0a81db hadn't quite got the idea that macros named like SOMETHING_4B_C were only meant for internal endianness-related details in postgres.h. Choose more legible names for macros that are intended to be used elsewhere. Rearrange postgres.h a bit to clarify the separation between those internal macros and ones intended for wider use. Also, avoid using the term "rawsize" for true decompressed size; we've used "extsize" for that, because "rawsize" generally denotes total Datum size including header. This choice seemed particularly unfortunate in tests that were comparing one of these meanings to the other. This patch includes a couple of not-purely-cosmetic changes: be sure that the shifts aligning compression methods are unsigned (not critical today, but will be when compression method 2 exists), and fix broken definition of VARATT_EXTERNAL_GET_COMPRESSION (now VARATT_EXTERNAL_GET_COMPRESS_METHOD), whose callers worked only accidentally.

* Suppress various new compiler warnings.Tom Lane2021-03-21

* Allow configurable LZ4 TOAST compression.Robert Haas2021-03-19
There is now a per-column COMPRESSION option which can be set to pglz (the default, and the only option in up until now) or lz4. Or, if you like, you can set the new default_toast_compression GUC to lz4, and then that will be the default for new table columns for which no value is specified. We don't have lz4 support in the PostgreSQL code, so to use lz4 compression, PostgreSQL must be built --with-lz4. In general, TOAST compression means compression of individual column values, not the whole tuple, and those values can either be compressed inline within the tuple or compressed and then stored externally in the TOAST table, so those properties also apply to this feature. Prior to this commit, a TOAST pointer has two unused bits as part of the va_extsize field, and a compessed datum has two unused bits as part of the va_rawsize field. These bits are unused because the length of a varlena is limited to 1GB; we now use them to indicate the compression type that was used. This means we only have bit space for 2 more built-in compresison types, but we could work around that problem, if necessary, by introducing a new vartag_external value for any further types we end up wanting to add. Hopefully, it won't be too important to offer a wide selection of algorithms here, since each one we add not only takes more coding but also adds a build dependency for every packager. Nevertheless, it seems worth doing at least this much, because LZ4 gets better compression than PGLZ with less CPU usage. It's possible for LZ4-compressed datums to leak into composite type values stored on disk, just as it is for PGLZ. It's also possible for LZ4-compressed attributes to be copied into a different table via SQL commands such as CREATE TABLE AS or INSERT .. SELECT. It would be expensive to force such values to be decompressed, so PostgreSQL has never done so. For the same reasons, we also don't force recompression of already-compressed values even if the target table prefers a different compression method than was used for the source data. These architectural decisions are perhaps arguable but revisiting them is well beyond the scope of what seemed possible to do as part of this project. However, it's relatively cheap to recompress as part of VACUUM FULL or CLUSTER, so this commit adjusts those commands to do so, if the configured compression method of the table happens not to match what was used for some column value stored therein. Dilip Kumar. The original patches on which this work was based were written by Ildus Kurbangaliev, and those were patches were based on even earlier work by Nikita Glukhov, but the design has since changed very substantially, since allow a potentially large number of compression methods that could be added and dropped on a running system proved too problematic given some of the architectural issues mentioned above; the choice of which specific compression method to add first is now different; and a lot of the code has been heavily refactored. More recently, Justin Przyby helped quite a bit with testing and reviewing and this version also includes some code contributions from him.
