* Add Boolean nodePeter Eisentraut2022-01-17
| | | | | | | | | | Before, SQL-level boolean constants were represented by a string with a cast, and internal Boolean values in DDL commands were usually represented by Integer nodes. This takes the place of both of these uses, making the intent clearer and having some amount of type safety.

* Fix misevaluation of STABLE parameters in CALL within plpgsql.Tom Lane2021-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before commit 84f5c2908, a STABLE function in a plpgsql CALL statement's argument list would see an up-to-date snapshot, because exec_stmt_call would push a new snapshot. I got rid of that because the possibility of the snapshot disappearing within COMMIT made it too hard to manage a snapshot across the CALL statement. That's fine so far as the procedure itself goes, but I forgot to think about the possibility of STABLE functions within the CALL argument list. As things now stand, those'll be executed with the Portal's snapshot as ActiveSnapshot, keeping them from seeing updates more recent than Portal startup. (VOLATILE functions don't have a problem because they take their own snapshots; which indeed is also why the procedure itself doesn't have a problem. There are no STABLE procedures.) We can fix this by pushing a new snapshot transiently within ExecuteCallStmt itself. Popping the snapshot before we get into the procedure proper eliminates the management problem. The possibly-useless extra snapshot-grab is slightly annoying, but it's no worse than what happened before 84f5c2908. Per bug #17199 from Alexander Nawratil. Back-patch to v11, like the previous patch. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17199-1ab2561f0d94af92@postgresql.org
* Improve reporting of "conflicting or redundant options" errors.Dean Rasheed2021-07-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When reporting "conflicting or redundant options" errors, try to ensure that errposition() is used, to help the user identify the offending option. Formerly, errposition() was invoked in less than 60% of cases. This patch raises that to over 90%, but there remain a few places where the ParseState is not readily available. Using errdetail() might improve the error in such cases, but that is left as a task for the future. Additionally, since this error is thrown from over 100 places in the codebase, introduce a dedicated function to throw it, reducing code duplication.

* Reconsider the handling of procedure OUT parameters.Tom Lane2021-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 2453ea142 redefined pg_proc.proargtypes to include the types of OUT parameters, for procedures only. While that had some advantages for implementing the SQL-spec behavior of DROP PROCEDURE, it was pretty disastrous from a number of other perspectives. Notably, since the primary key of pg_proc is name + proargtypes, this made it possible to have multiple procedures with identical names + input arguments and differing output argument types. That would make it impossible to call any one of the procedures by writing just NULL (or "?", or any other data-type-free notation) for the output argument(s). The change also seems likely to cause grave confusion for client applications that examine pg_proc and expect the traditional definition of proargtypes. Hence, revert the definition of proargtypes to what it was, and undo a number of complications that had been added to support that. To support the SQL-spec behavior of DROP PROCEDURE, when there are no argmode markers in the command's parameter list, we perform the lookup both ways (that is, matching against both proargtypes and proallargtypes), succeeding if we get just one unique match. In principle this could result in ambiguous-function failures that would not happen when using only one of the two rules. However, overloading of procedure names is thought to be a pretty rare usage, so this shouldn't cause many problems in practice. Postgres-specific code such as pg_dump can defend against any possibility of such failures by being careful to specify argmodes for all procedure arguments. This also fixes a few other bugs in the area of CALL statements with named parameters, and improves the documentation a little. catversion bump forced because the representation of procedures with OUT arguments changes.

* Restore the portal-level snapshot after procedure COMMIT/ROLLBACK.Tom Lane2021-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | COMMIT/ROLLBACK necessarily destroys all snapshots within the session. The original implementation of intra-procedure transactions just cavalierly did that, ignoring the fact that this left us executing in a rather different environment than normal. In particular, it turns out that handling of toasted datums depends rather critically on there being an outer ActiveSnapshot: otherwise, when SPI or the core executor pop whatever snapshot they used and return, it's unsafe to dereference any toasted datums that may appear in the query result. It's possible to demonstrate "no known snapshots" and "missing chunk number N for toast value" errors as a result of this oversight. Historically this outer snapshot has been held by the Portal code, and that seems like a good plan to preserve. So add infrastructure to pquery.c to allow re-establishing the Portal-owned snapshot if it's not there anymore, and add enough bookkeeping support that we can tell whether it is or not. We can't, however, just re-establish the Portal snapshot as part of COMMIT/ROLLBACK. As in normal transaction start, acquiring the first snapshot should wait until after SET and LOCK commands. Hence, teach spi.c about doing this at the right time. (Note that this patch doesn't fix the problem for any PLs that try to run intra-procedure transactions without using SPI to execute SQL commands.) This makes SPI's no_snapshots parameter rather a misnomer, so in HEAD, rename that to allow_nonatomic. replication/logical/worker.c also needs some fixes, because it wasn't careful to hold a snapshot open around AFTER trigger execution. That code doesn't use a Portal, which I suspect someday we're gonna have to fix. But for now, just rearrange the order of operations. This includes back-patching the recent addition of finish_estate() to centralize the cleanup logic there. This also back-patches commit 2ecfeda3e into v13, to improve the test coverage for worker.c (it was that test that exposed that worker.c's snapshot management is wrong). Per bug #15990 from Andreas Wicht. Back-patch to v11 where intra-procedure COMMIT was added. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15990-eee2ac466b11293d@postgresql.org

* Undo decision to allow pg_proc.prosrc to be NULL.Tom Lane2021-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e717a9a18 changed the longstanding rule that prosrc is NOT NULL because when a SQL-language function is written in SQL-standard style, we don't currently have anything useful to put there. This seems a poor decision though, as it could easily have negative impacts on external PLs (opening them to crashes they didn't use to have, for instance). SQL-function-related code can just as easily test "is prosqlbody not null" as "is prosrc null", so there's no real gain there either. Hence, revert the NOT NULL marking removal and adjust related logic. For now, we just put an empty string into prosrc for SQL-standard functions. Maybe we'll have a better idea later, although the history of things like pg_attrdef.adsrc suggests that it's not easy to maintain a string equivalent of a node tree. This also adds an assertion that queryDesc->sourceText != NULL to standard_ExecutorStart. We'd been silently relying on that for awhile, so let's make it less silent. Also fix some overlooked documentation and test cases. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2197698.1617984583@sss.pgh.pa.us
* SQL-standard function bodyPeter Eisentraut2021-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This adds support for writing CREATE FUNCTION and CREATE PROCEDURE statements for language SQL with a function body that conforms to the SQL standard and is portable to other implementations. Instead of the PostgreSQL-specific AS $$ string literal $$ syntax, this allows writing out the SQL statements making up the body unquoted, either as a single statement: CREATE FUNCTION add(a integer, b integer) RETURNS integer LANGUAGE SQL RETURN a + b; or as a block CREATE PROCEDURE insert_data(a integer, b integer) LANGUAGE SQL BEGIN ATOMIC INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (a); INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (b); END; The function body is parsed at function definition time and stored as expression nodes in a new pg_proc column prosqlbody. So at run time, no further parsing is required. However, this form does not support polymorphic arguments, because there is no more parse analysis done at call time. Dependencies between the function and the objects it uses are fully tracked. A new RETURN statement is introduced. This can only be used inside function bodies. Internally, it is treated much like a SELECT statement. psql needs some new intelligence to keep track of function body boundaries so that it doesn't send off statements when it sees semicolons that are inside a function body.

* Re-implement pl/pgsql's expression and assignment parsing.Tom Lane2021-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Invent new RawParseModes that allow the core grammar to handle pl/pgsql expressions and assignments directly, and thereby get rid of a lot of hackery in pl/pgsql's parser. This moves a good deal of knowledge about pl/pgsql into the core code: notably, we have to invent a CoercionContext that matches pl/pgsql's (rather dubious) historical behavior for assignment coercions. That's getting away from the original idea of pl/pgsql as an arm's-length extension of the core, but really we crossed that bridge a long time ago. The main advantage of doing this is that we can now use the core parser to generate FieldStore and/or SubscriptingRef nodes to handle assignments to pl/pgsql variables that are records or arrays. That fixes a number of cases that had never been implemented in pl/pgsql assignment, such as nested records and array slicing, and it allows pl/pgsql assignment to support the datatype-specific subscripting behaviors introduced in commit c7aba7c14. There are cosmetic benefits too: when a syntax error occurs in a pl/pgsql expression, the error report no longer includes the confusing "SELECT" keyword that used to get prefixed to the expression text. Also, there seem to be some small speed gains. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/4165684.1607707277@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Switch to multi-inserts when registering dependencies for many code pathsMichael Paquier2020-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit improves the dependency registrations by taking advantage of the preliminary work done in 63110c62, to group together the insertion of dependencies of the same type to pg_depend. With the current layer of routines available, and as only dependencies of the same type can be grouped, there are code paths still doing more than one multi-insert when it is necessary to register dependencies of multiple types (constraint and index creation are two cases doing that). While on it, this refactors some of the code to use ObjectAddressSet() when manipulating object addresses.

| | | | | | | | | | | Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up, most of which weren't per project style anyway.

* Introduce "anycompatible" family of polymorphic types.Tom Lane2020-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the pseudo-types anycompatible, anycompatiblearray, anycompatiblenonarray, and anycompatiblerange. They work much like anyelement, anyarray, anynonarray, and anyrange respectively, except that the actual input values need not match precisely in type. Instead, if we can find a common supertype (using the same rules as for UNION/CASE type resolution), then the parser automatically promotes the input values to that type. For example, "myfunc(anycompatible, anycompatible)" can match a call with one integer and one bigint argument, with the integer automatically promoted to bigint. With anyelement in the definition, the user would have had to cast the integer explicitly. The new types also provide a second, independent set of type variables for function matching; thus with "myfunc(anyelement, anyelement, anycompatible) returns anycompatible" the first two arguments are constrained to be the same type, but the third can be some other type, and the result has the type of the third argument. The need for more than one set of type variables was foreseen back when we first invented the polymorphic types, but we never did anything about it.

* Remove the "opaque" pseudo-type and associated compatibility hacks.Tom Lane2020-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A long time ago, it was necessary to declare datatype I/O functions, triggers, and language handler support functions in a very type-unsafe way involving a single pseudo-type "opaque". We got rid of those conventions in 7.3, but there was still support in various places to automatically convert such functions to the modern declaration style, to be able to transparently re-load dumps from pre-7.3 servers. It seems unnecessary to continue to support that anymore, so take out the hacks; whereupon the "opaque" pseudo-type itself is no longer needed and can be dropped. This is part of a group of patches removing various server-side kluges for transparently upgrading pre-8.0 dump files. Since we've had few complaints about dropping pg_dump's support for dumping from pre-8.0 servers (commit 64f3524e2), it seems okay to now remove these kluges.

* Introduce macros for typalign and typstorage constants.Tom Lane2020-03-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants, in C code. But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage. It's never too late to make it better though, so let's do that. The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch. But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability, so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation. I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded references. But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that we'd actually change any of these values. We can clean up stragglers over time. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16457.1583189537@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Invent "trusted" extensions, and remove the pg_pltemplate catalog.Tom Lane2020-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates a new extension property, "trusted". An extension that's marked that way in its control file can be installed by a non-superuser who has the CREATE privilege on the current database, even if the extension contains objects that normally would have to be created by a superuser. The objects within the extension will (by default) be owned by the bootstrap superuser, but the extension itself will be owned by the calling user. This allows replicating the old behavior around trusted procedural languages, without all the special-case logic in CREATE LANGUAGE. We have, however, chosen to loosen the rules slightly: formerly, only a database owner could take advantage of the special case that allowed installation of a trusted language, but now anyone who has CREATE privilege can do so. Having done that, we can delete the pg_pltemplate catalog, moving the knowledge it contained into the extension script files for the various PLs. This ends up being no change at all for the in-core PLs, but it is a large step forward for external PLs: they can now have the same ease of installation as core PLs do. The old "trusted PL" behavior was only available to PLs that had entries in pg_pltemplate, but now any extension can be marked trusted if appropriate. This also removes one of the stumbling blocks for our Python 2 -> 3 migration, since the association of "plpythonu" with Python 2 is no longer hard-wired into pg_pltemplate's initial contents. Exactly where we go from here on that front remains to be settled, but one problem is fixed. Patch by me, reviewed by Peter Eisentraut, Stephen Frost, and others.

* Create the infrastructure for planner support functions.Tom Lane2019-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rename/repurpose pg_proc.protransform as "prosupport". The idea is still that it names an internal function that provides knowledge to the planner about the behavior of the function it's attached to; but redesign the API specification so that it's not limited to doing just one thing, but can support an extensible set of requests. The original purpose of simplifying a function call is handled by the first request type to be invented, SupportRequestSimplify. Adjust all the existing transform functions to handle this API, and rename them fron "xxx_transform" to "xxx_support" to reflect the potential generalization of what they do. (Since we never previously provided any way for extensions to add transform functions, this change doesn't create an API break for them.) Also add DDL and pg_dump support for attaching a support function to a user-defined function. Unfortunately, DDL access has to be restricted to superusers, at least for now; but seeing that support functions will pretty much have to be written in C, that limitation is just theoretical. (This support is untested in this patch, but a follow-on patch will add cases that exercise it.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15193.1548028093@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Refactor planner's header files.Tom Lane2019-01-29

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.

* Change function call information to be variable length.Andres Freund2019-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before this change FunctionCallInfoData, the struct arguments etc for V1 function calls are stored in, always had space for FUNC_MAX_ARGS/100 arguments, storing datums and their nullness in two arrays. For nearly every function call 100 arguments is far more than needed, therefore wasting memory. Arg and argnull being two separate arrays also guarantees that to access a single argument, two cachelines have to be touched. Change the layout so there's a single variable-length array with pairs of value / isnull. That drastically reduces memory consumption for most function calls (on x86-64 a two argument function now uses 64bytes, previously 936 bytes), and makes it very likely that argument value and its nullness are on the same cacheline. Arguments are stored in a new NullableDatum struct, which, due to padding, needs more memory per argument than before. But as usually far fewer arguments are stored, and individual arguments are cheaper to access, that's still a clear win. It's likely that there's other places where conversion to NullableDatum arrays would make sense, e.g. TupleTableSlots, but that's for another commit. Because the function call information is now variable-length allocations have to take the number of arguments into account. For heap allocations that can be done with SizeForFunctionCallInfoData(), for on-stack allocations there's a new LOCAL_FCINFO(name, nargs) macro that helps to allocate an appropriately sized and aligned variable. Some places with stack allocation function call information don't know the number of arguments at compile time, and currently variably sized stack allocations aren't allowed in postgres. Therefore allow for FUNC_MAX_ARGS space in these cases. They're not that common, so for now that seems acceptable. Because of the need to allocate FunctionCallInfo of the appropriate size, older extensions may need to update their code. To avoid subtle breakages, the FunctionCallInfoData struct has been renamed to FunctionCallInfoBaseData. Most code only references FunctionCallInfo, so that shouldn't cause much collateral damage. This change is also a prerequisite for more efficient expression JIT compilation (by allocating the function call information on the stack, allowing LLVM to optimize it away); previously the size of the call information caused problems inside LLVM's optimizer.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

* Introduce notion of different types of slots (without implementing them).Andres Freund2018-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upcoming work intends to allow pluggable ways to introduce new ways of storing table data. Accessing those table access methods from the executor requires TupleTableSlots to be carry tuples in the native format of such storage methods; otherwise there'll be a significant conversion overhead. Different access methods will require different data to store tuples efficiently (just like virtual, minimal, heap already require fields in TupleTableSlot). To allow that without requiring additional pointer indirections, we want to have different structs (embedding TupleTableSlot) for different types of slots. Thus different types of slots are needed, which requires adapting creators of slots. The slot that most efficiently can represent a type of tuple in an executor node will often depend on the type of slot a child node uses. Therefore we need to track the type of slot is returned by nodes, so parent slots can create slots based on that. Relatedly, JIT compilation of tuple deforming needs to know which type of slot a certain expression refers to, so it can create an appropriate deforming function for the type of tuple in the slot. But not all nodes will only return one type of slot, e.g. an append node will potentially return different types of slots for each of its subplans. Therefore add function that allows to query the type of a node's result slot, and whether it'll always be the same type (whether it's fixed). This can be queried using ExecGetResultSlotOps(). The scan, result, inner, outer type of slots are automatically inferred from ExecInitScanTupleSlot(), ExecInitResultSlot(), left/right subtrees respectively. If that's not correct for a node, that can be overwritten using new fields in PlanState. This commit does not introduce the actually abstracted implementation of different kind of TupleTableSlots, that will be left for a followup commit. The different types of slots introduced will, for now, still use the same backing implementation. While this already partially invalidates the big comment in tuptable.h, it seems to make more sense to update it later, when the different TupleTableSlot implementations actually exist.

* Fix ExecuteCallStmt to not scribble on the passed-in parse tree.Tom Lane2018-11-04
| | | | | | | | | Modifying the parse tree at execution time is, or at least ought to be, verboten. It seems quite difficult to actually cause a crash this way in v11 (although you can exhibit it pretty easily in HEAD by messing with plan_cache_mode). Nonetheless, it's risky, so fix and back-patch.

* Split ExecStoreTuple into ExecStoreHeapTuple and ExecStoreBufferHeapTuple.Andres Freund2018-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Upcoming changes introduce further types of tuple table slots, in preparation of making table storage pluggable. New storage methods will have different representation of tuples, therefore the slot accessor should refer explicitly to heap tuples. Instead of just renaming the functions, split it into one function that accepts heap tuples not residing in buffers, and one accepting ones in buffers. Previously one function was used for both, but that was a bit awkward already, and splitting will allow us to represent slot types for tuples in buffers and normal memory separately. This is split out from the patch introducing abstract slots, as this largely consists out of mechanical changes.

* Prohibit transaction commands in security definer proceduresPeter Eisentraut2018-07-13
| | | | | | | | | | | Starting and aborting transactions in security definer procedures doesn't work. StartTransaction() insists that the security context stack is empty, so this would currently cause a crash, and AbortTransaction() resets it. This could be made to work by reorganizing the code, but right now we just prohibit it.

* Merge catalog/pg_foo_fn.h headers back into pg_foo.h headers.Tom Lane2018-04-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Traditionally, include/catalog/pg_foo.h contains extern declarations for functions in backend/catalog/pg_foo.c, in addition to its function as the authoritative definition of the pg_foo catalog's rowtype. In some cases, we'd been forced to split out those extern declarations into separate pg_foo_fn.h headers so that the catalog definitions could be #include'd by frontend code. That problem is gone as of commit 9c0a0de4c, so let's undo the splits to make things less confusing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/23690.1523031777@sss.pgh.pa.us
* Fast ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN with a non-NULL defaultAndrew Dunstan2018-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently adding a column to a table with a non-NULL default results in a rewrite of the table. For large tables this can be both expensive and disruptive. This patch removes the need for the rewrite as long as the default value is not volatile. The default expression is evaluated at the time of the ALTER TABLE and the result stored in a new column (attmissingval) in pg_attribute, and a new column (atthasmissing) is set to true. Any existing row when fetched will be supplied with the attmissingval. New rows will have the supplied value or the default and so will never need the attmissingval. Any time the table is rewritten all the atthasmissing and attmissingval settings for the attributes are cleared, as they are no longer needed. The most visible code change from this is in heap_attisnull, which acquires a third TupleDesc argument, allowing it to detect a missing value if there is one. In many cases where it is known that there will not be any (e.g. catalog relations) NULL can be passed for this argument. Andrew Dunstan, heavily modified from an original patch from Serge Rielau.

In other languages, the same convention as for return a record from a function is used. That does not require any code changes in the PL implementations.
