* Split heapam_xlog.h from heapam.hAlvaro Herrera2012-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | The heapam XLog functions are used by other modules, not all of which are interested in the rest of the heapam API. With this, we let them get just the XLog stuff in which they are interested and not pollute them with unrelated includes. Also, since heapam.h no longer requires xlog.h, many files that do include heapam.h no longer get xlog.h automatically, including a few headers. This is useful because heapam.h is getting pulled in by execnodes.h, which is in turn included by a lot of files.
* Fix rescan logic in nodeCtescan.Tom Lane2012-08-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The previous coding essentially assumed that nodes would be rescanned in the same order they were initialized in; or at least that the "leader" of a group of CTEscans would be rescanned before any others were required to execute. Unfortunately, that isn't even a little bit true. It's possible to devise queries in which the leader isn't rescanned until other CTEscans on the same CTE have run to completion, or even in which the leader never gets a rescan call at all. The fix makes the leader specially responsible only for initial creation and final destruction of the tuplestore; rescan resets are now a symmetrically shared responsibility. This means that we might reset the tuplestore multiple times when restarting a plan subtree containing multiple CTEscans; but resetting an already-empty tuplestore is cheap enough that that doesn't seem like a problem. Per report from Adam Mackler; the new regression test cases are based on his example query. Back-patch to 8.4 where CTE scans were introduced.
* Fix whole-row Var evaluation to cope with resjunk columns (again).Tom Lane2012-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a whole-row Var is reading the result of a subquery, we need it to ignore any "resjunk" columns that the subquery might have evaluated for GROUP BY or ORDER BY purposes. We've hacked this area before, in commit 68e40998d058c1f6662800a648ff1e1ce5d99cba, but that fix only covered whole-row Vars of named composite types, not those of RECORD type; and it was mighty klugy anyway, since it just assumed without checking that any extra columns in the result must be resjunk. A proper fix requires getting hold of the subquery's targetlist so we can actually see which columns are resjunk (whereupon we can use a JunkFilter to get rid of them). So bite the bullet and add some infrastructure to make that possible. Per report from Andrew Dunstan and additional testing by Merlin Moncure. Back-patch to all supported branches. In 8.3, also back-patch commit 292176a118da6979e5d368a4baf27f26896c99a5, which for some reason I had not done at the time, but it's a prerequisite for this change.
* Make new event trigger facility actually do something.Robert Haas2012-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 3855968f328918b6cd1401dd11d109d471a54d40 added syntax, pg_dump, psql support, and documentation, but the triggers didn't actually fire. With this commit, they now do. This is still a pretty basic facility overall because event triggers do not get a whole lot of information about what the user is trying to do unless you write them in C; and there's still no option to fire them anywhere except at the very beginning of the execution sequence, but it's better than nothing, and a good building block for future work. Along the way, add a regression test for ALTER LARGE OBJECT, since testing of event triggers reveals that we haven't got one. Dimitri Fontaine and Robert Haas
* Remove unreachable codePeter Eisentraut2012-07-16
| | | | | | | The Solaris Studio compiler warns about these instances, unlike more mainstream compilers such as gcc. But manual inspection showed that the code is clearly not reachable, and we hope no worthy compiler will complain about removing this code.
* Fix memory leak in ARRAY(SELECT ...) subqueries.Tom Lane2012-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | Repeated execution of an uncorrelated ARRAY_SUBLINK sub-select (which I think can only happen if the sub-select is embedded in a larger, correlated subquery) would leak memory for the duration of the query, due to not reclaiming the array generated in the previous execution. Per bug #6698 from Armando Miraglia. Diagnosis and fix idea by Heikki, patch itself by me. This has been like this all along, so back-patch to all supported versions.

* Fix more crash-safe visibility map bugs, and improve comments.Robert Haas2012-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In lazy_scan_heap, we could issue bogus warnings about incorrect information in the visibility map, because we checked the visibility map bit before locking the heap page, creating a race condition. Fix by rechecking the visibility map bit before we complain. Rejigger some related logic so that we rely on the possibly-outdated all_visible_according_to_vm value as little as possible. In heap_multi_insert, it's not safe to clear the visibility map bit before beginning the critical section. The visibility map is not crash-safe unless we treat clearing the bit as a critical operation. Specifically, if the transaction were to error out after we set the bit and before entering the critical section, we could end up writing the heap page to disk (with the bit cleared) and crashing before the visibility map page made it to disk. That would be bad. heap_insert has this correct, but somehow the order of operations got rearranged when heap_multi_insert was added. Also, add some more comments to visibilitymap_test, lazy_scan_heap, and IndexOnlyNext, expounding on concurrency issues. Per extensive code review by Andres Freund, and further review by Tom Lane, who also made the original report about the bogus warnings.
* Rename I/O timing statistics columns to blk_read_time and blk_write_time.Tom Lane2012-04-29
| | | | | This seems more consistent with the pre-existing choices for names of other statistics columns. Rename assorted internal identifiers to match.

* New GUC, track_iotiming, to track I/O timings.Robert Haas2012-03-27
| | | | | | | | Currently, the only way to see the numbers this gathers is via EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS), but the plan is to add visibility through the stats collector and pg_stat_statements in subsequent patches. Ants Aasma, reviewed by Greg Smith, with some further changes by me.
* Clean up compiler warnings from unused variables with asserts disabledPeter Eisentraut2012-03-21
| | | | | | For those variables only used when asserts are enabled, use a new macro PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY, which expands to __attribute__((unused)) when asserts are not enabled.
* Restructure SELECT INTO's parsetree representation into CreateTableAsStmt.Tom Lane2012-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Making this operation look like a utility statement seems generally a good idea, and particularly so in light of the desire to provide command triggers for utility statements. The original choice of representing it as SELECT with an IntoClause appendage had metastasized into rather a lot of places, unfortunately, so that this patch is a great deal more complicated than one might at first expect. In particular, keeping EXPLAIN working for SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS subcommands required restructuring some EXPLAIN-related APIs. Add-on code that calls ExplainOnePlan or ExplainOneUtility, or uses ExplainOneQuery_hook, will need adjustment. Also, the cases PREPARE ... SELECT INTO and CREATE RULE ... SELECT INTO, which formerly were accepted though undocumented, are no longer accepted. The PREPARE case can be replaced with use of CREATE TABLE AS EXECUTE. The CREATE RULE case doesn't seem to have much real-world use (since the rule would work only once before failing with "table already exists"), so we'll not bother with that one. Both SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS still return a command tag of "SELECT nnnn". There was some discussion of returning "CREATE TABLE nnnn", but for the moment backwards compatibility wins the day. Andres Freund and Tom Lane
* Make EXPLAIN (BUFFERS) track blocks dirtied, as well as those written.Robert Haas2012-02-22
| | | | | | Also expose the new counters through pg_stat_statements. Patch by me. Review by Fujii Masao and Greg Smith.
* Preserve column names in the execution-time tupledesc for a RowExpr.Tom Lane2012-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The hstore and json datatypes both have record-conversion functions that pay attention to column names in the composite values they're handed. We used to not worry about inserting correct field names into tuple descriptors generated at runtime, but given these examples it seems useful to do so. Observe the nicer-looking results in the regression tests whose results changed. catversion bump because there is a subtle change in requirements for stored rule parsetrees: RowExprs from ROW() constructs now have to include field names. Andrew Dunstan and Tom Lane
* Add TIMING option to EXPLAIN, to allow eliminating of timing overhead.Robert Haas2012-02-07
| | | | | | | | Sometimes it may be useful to get actual row counts out of EXPLAIN (ANALYZE) without paying the cost of timing every node entry/exit. With this patch, you can say EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, TIMING OFF) to get that. Tomas Vondra, reviewed by Eric Theise, with minor doc changes by me.

* Fix handling of data-modifying CTE subplans in EvalPlanQual.Tom Lane2012-01-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We can't just skip initializing such subplans, because the referencing CTE node will expect to find the subplan available when it initializes. That in turn means that ExecInitModifyTable must allow the case (which actually it needed to do anyway, since there's no guarantee that ModifyTable is exactly at the top of the CTE plan tree). So move the complaint about not being allowed in EvalPlanQual mode to execution instead of initialization. Testing turned up yet another problem, which is that we'd try to re-initialize the result relation's index list, leading to leaks and dangling pointers. Per report from Phil Sorber. Back-patch to 9.1 where data-modifying CTEs were introduced.
* Instrument index-only scans to count heap fetches performed.Robert Haas2012-01-25
| | | | Patch by me; review by Tom Lane, Jeff Davis, and Peter Geoghegan.
* Prevent adding relations to a concurrently dropped schema.Robert Haas2012-01-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the previous coding, it was possible for a relation to be created via CREATE TABLE, CREATE VIEW, CREATE SEQUENCE, CREATE FOREIGN TABLE, etc. in a schema while that schema was meanwhile being concurrently dropped. This led to a pg_class entry with an invalid relnamespace value. The same problem could occur if a relation was moved using ALTER .. SET SCHEMA while the target schema was being concurrently dropped. This patch prevents both of those scenarios by locking the schema to which the relation is being added using AccessShareLock, which conflicts with the AccessExclusiveLock taken by DROP. As a desirable side effect, this also prevents the use of CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW to queue for an AccessExclusiveLock on a relation on which you have no rights: that will now fail immediately with a permissions error, before trying to obtain a lock. We need similar protection for all other object types, but as everything other than relations uses a slightly different set of code paths, I'm leaving that for a separate commit. Original complaint (as far as I could find) about CREATE by Nikhil Sontakke; risk for ALTER .. SET SCHEMA pointed out by Tom Lane; further details by Dan Farina; patch by me; review by Hitoshi Harada.
* Make executor's SELECT INTO code save and restore original tuple receiver.Tom Lane2012-01-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | As previously coded, the QueryDesc's dest pointer was left dangling (pointing at an already-freed receiver object) after ExecutorEnd. It's a bit astonishing that it took us this long to notice, and I'm not sure that the known problem case with SQL functions is the only one. Fix it by saving and restoring the original receiver pointer, which seems the most bulletproof way of ensuring any related bugs are also covered. Per bug #6379 from Paul Ramsey. Back-patch to 8.4 where the current handling of SELECT INTO was introduced.

* Take fewer snapshots.Robert Haas2011-12-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a PORTAL_ONE_SELECT query is executed, we can opportunistically reuse the parse/plan shot for the execution phase. This cuts down the number of snapshots per simple query from 2 to 1 for the simple protocol, and 3 to 2 for the extended protocol. Since we are only reusing a snapshot taken early in the processing of the same protocol message, the change shouldn't be user-visible, except that the remote possibility of the planning and execution snapshots being different is eliminated. Note that this change does not make it safe to assume that the parse/plan snapshot will certainly be reused; that will currently only happen if PortalStart() decides to use the PORTAL_ONE_SELECT strategy. It might be worth trying to provide some stronger guarantees here in the future, but for now we don't. Patch by me; review by Dimitri Fontaine.
* Add support for privileges on typesPeter Eisentraut2011-12-20
| | | | | | | | | This adds support for the more or less SQL-conforming USAGE privilege on types and domains. The intent is to be able restrict which users can create dependencies on types, which restricts the way in which owners can alter types. reviewed by Yeb Havinga
* Miscellaneous cleanup to silence compiler warnings seen on Mingw.Andrew Dunstan2011-12-10
| | | | | Remove some dead code, conditionally declare some items or call some code, and fix one or two declarations.
* Create a "sort support" interface API for faster sorting.Tom Lane2011-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch creates an API whereby a btree index opclass can optionally provide non-SQL-callable support functions for sorting. In the initial patch, we only use this to provide a directly-callable comparator function, which can be invoked with a bit less overhead than the traditional SQL-callable comparator. While that should be of value in itself, the real reason for doing this is to provide a datatype-extensible framework for more aggressive optimizations, as in Peter Geoghegan's recent work. Robert Haas and Tom Lane
* When a row fails a not-null constraint, show row's contents in errdetail.Tom Lane2011-11-29
| | | | Simple extension of previous patch for CHECK constraints.
* When a row fails a CHECK constraint, show row's contents in errdetail.Tom Lane2011-11-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | This should make it easier to identify which row is problematic when an insert or update is processing many rows. The formatting is similar to that for unique-index violation messages, except that we limit field widths to 64 bytes since otherwise the message could get unreasonably long. (In particular, there's currently no attempt to quote or escape field values that contain commas etc.) Jan Kundrát, reviewed by Royce Ausburn, somewhat rewritten by me.
* Fix unsupported options in CREATE TABLE ... AS EXECUTE.Tom Lane2011-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | The WITH [NO] DATA option was not supported, nor the ability to specify replacement column names; the former limitation wasn't even documented, as per recent complaint from Naoya Anzai. Fix by moving the responsibility for supporting these options into the executor. It actually takes less code this way ... catversion bump due to change in representation of IntoClause, which might affect stored rules.
* Check for INSERT privileges in SELECT INTO / CREATE TABLE AS.Robert Haas2011-11-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | In the normal course of events, this matters only if ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES has been used to revoke default INSERT permission. Whether or not the new behavior is more or less likely to be what the user wants when dealing only with the built-in privilege facilities is arguable, but it's clearly better when using a loadable module such as sepgsql that may use the hook in ExecCheckRTPerms to enforce additional permissions checks.

* Support range data types.Heikki Linnakangas2011-11-03
| | | | | | | Selectivity estimation functions are missing for some range type operators, which is a TODO. Jeff Davis
* Fix handling of PlaceHolderVars in nestloop parameter management.Tom Lane2011-11-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | If we use a PlaceHolderVar from the outer relation in an inner indexscan, we need to reference the PlaceHolderVar as such as the value to be passed in from the outer relation. The previous code effectively tried to reconstruct the PHV from its component expression, which doesn't work since (a) the Vars therein aren't necessarily bubbled up far enough, and (b) it would be the wrong semantics anyway because of the possibility that the PHV is supposed to have gone to null at some point before the current join. Point (a) led to "variable not found in subplan target list" planner errors, but point (b) would have led to silently wrong answers. Per report from Roger Niederland.
* Avoid assuming that index-only scan data matches the index's rowtype.Tom Lane2011-10-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In general the data returned by an index-only scan should have the datatypes originally computed by FormIndexDatum. If the index opclasses use "storage" datatypes different from their input datatypes, the scan tuple will not have the same rowtype attributed to the index; but we had a hard-wired assumption that that was true in nodeIndexonlyscan.c. We'd already hacked around the issue for the one case where the types are different in btree indexes (btree name_ops), but this would definitely come back to bite us if we ever implement index-only scans in GiST. To fix, require the index AM to explicitly provide the tupdesc for the tuple it is returning. btree can just pass back the index's tupdesc, but GiST will have to work harder when and if it supports index-only scans. I had previously proposed fixing this by allowing the index AM to fill the scan tuple slot directly; but on reflection that seemed like a module layering violation, since TupleTableSlots are creatures of the executor. At least in the btree case, it would also be less efficient, since the tuple deconstruction work would occur even for rows later found to be invisible to the scan's snapshot.
* Teach btree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively.Tom Lane2011-10-16
| | | | | This allows "indexedcol op ANY(ARRAY[...])" conditions to be used in plain indexscans, and particularly in index-only scans.
* Generate index-only scan tuple descriptor from the plan node's indextlist.Tom Lane2011-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | Dept. of second thoughts: as long as we've got that tlist hanging around anyway, we can apply ExecTypeFromTL to it to get a suitable descriptor for the ScanTupleSlot. This is a nicer solution than the previous one because it eliminates some hard-wired knowledge about btree name_ops, and because it avoids the somewhat shaky assumption that we needn't set up the scan tuple descriptor in EXPLAIN_ONLY mode. It doesn't change what actually happens at run-time though, and I'm still a bit nervous about that.
* Rearrange the implementation of index-only scans.Tom Lane2011-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit changes index-only scans so that data is read directly from the index tuple without first generating a faux heap tuple. The only immediate benefit is that indexes on system columns (such as OID) can be used in index-only scans, but this is necessary infrastructure if we are ever to support index-only scans on expression indexes. The executor is now ready for that, though the planner still needs substantial work to recognize the possibility. To do this, Vars in index-only plan nodes have to refer to index columns not heap columns. I introduced a new special varno, INDEX_VAR, to mark such Vars to avoid confusion. (In passing, this commit renames the two existing special varnos to OUTER_VAR and INNER_VAR.) This allows ruleutils.c to handle them with logic similar to what we use for subplan reference Vars. Since index-only scans are now fundamentally different from regular indexscans so far as their expression subtrees are concerned, I also chose to change them to have their own plan node type (and hence, their own executor source file).
* Improve index-only scans to avoid repeated access to the index page.Tom Lane2011-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | We copy all the matched tuples off the page during _bt_readpage, instead of expensively re-locking the page during each subsequent tuple fetch. This costs a bit more local storage, but not more than 2*BLCKSZ worth, and the reduction in LWLock traffic is certainly worth that. What's more, this lets us get rid of the API wart in the original patch that said an index AM could randomly decline to supply an index tuple despite having asserted pg_am.amcanreturn. That will be important for future improvements in the index-only-scan feature, since the executor will now be able to rely on having the index data available.
* Support index-only scans using the visibility map to avoid heap fetches.Tom Lane2011-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | When a btree index contains all columns required by the query, and the visibility map shows that all tuples on a target heap page are visible-to-all, we don't need to fetch that heap page. This patch depends on the previous patches that made the visibility map reliable. There's a fair amount left to do here, notably trying to figure out a less chintzy way of estimating the cost of an index-only scan, but the core functionality seems ready to commit. Robert Haas and Ibrar Ahmed, with some previous work by Heikki Linnakangas.
* Update obsolete comments.Robert Haas2011-09-26
| | | | | | | This was partially fixed by 57fdb2b0d835fe201434fc28bf5dabf83ada26d1, back in 2005, but it missed a couple of spots. YAMAMOTO Takashi
* Make EXPLAIN ANALYZE report the numbers of rows rejected by filter steps.Tom Lane2011-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides information about the numbers of tuples that were visited but not returned by table scans, as well as the numbers of join tuples that were considered and discarded within a join plan node. There is still some discussion going on about the best way to report counts for outer-join situations, but I think most of what's in the patch would not change if we revise that, so I'm going to go ahead and commit it as-is. Documentation changes to follow (they weren't in the submitted patch either). Marko Tiikkaja, reviewed by Marc Cousin, somewhat revised by Tom
* Redesign the plancache mechanism for more flexibility and efficiency.Tom Lane2011-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Rewrite plancache.c so that a "cached plan" (which is rather a misnomer at this point) can support generation of custom, parameter-value-dependent plans, and can make an intelligent choice between using custom plans and the traditional generic-plan approach. The specific choice algorithm implemented here can probably be improved in future, but this commit is all about getting the mechanism in place, not the policy. In addition, restructure the API to greatly reduce the amount of extraneous data copying needed. The main compromise needed to make that possible was to split the initial creation of a CachedPlanSource into two steps. It's worth noting in particular that SPI_saveplan is now deprecated in favor of SPI_keepplan, which accomplishes the same end result with zero data copying, and no need to then spend even more cycles throwing away the original SPIPlan. The risk of long-term memory leaks while manipulating SPIPlans has also been greatly reduced. Most of this improvement is based on use of the recently-added MemoryContextSetParent primitive.
* Clean up the #include mess a little.Tom Lane2011-09-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | walsender.h should depend on xlog.h, not vice versa. (Actually, the inclusion was circular until a couple hours ago, which was even sillier; but Bruce broke it in the expedient rather than logically correct direction.) Because of that poor decision, plus blind application of pgrminclude, we had a situation where half the system was depending on xlog.h to include such unrelated stuff as array.h and guc.h. Clean up the header inclusion, and manually revert a lot of what pgrminclude had done so things build again. This episode reinforces my feeling that pgrminclude should not be run without adult supervision. Inclusion changes in header files in particular need to be reviewed with great care. More generally, it'd be good if we had a clearer notion of module layering to dictate which headers can sanely include which others ... but that's a big task for another day.
* Rearrange planner to save the whole PlannerInfo (subroot) for a subquery.Tom Lane2011-09-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Formerly, set_subquery_pathlist and other creators of plans for subqueries saved only the rangetable and rowMarks lists from the lower-level PlannerInfo. But there's no reason not to remember the whole PlannerInfo, and indeed this turns out to simplify matters in a number of places. The immediate reason for doing this was so that the subroot will still be accessible when we're trying to extract column statistics out of an already-planned subquery. But now that I've done it, it seems like a good code-beautification effort in its own right. I also chose to get rid of the transient subrtable and subrowmark fields in SubqueryScan nodes, in favor of having setrefs.c look up the subquery's RelOptInfo. That required changing all the APIs in setrefs.c to pass PlannerInfo not PlannerGlobal, which was a large but quite mechanical transformation. One side-effect not foreseen at the beginning is that this finally broke inheritance_planner's assumption that replanning the same subquery RTE N times would necessarily give interchangeable results each time. That assumption was always pretty risky, but now we really have to make a separate RTE for each instance so that there's a place to carry the separate subroots.

* Fix trigger WHEN conditions when both BEFORE and AFTER triggers exist.Tom Lane2011-08-21
| | | | | | | | | Due to tuple-slot mismanagement, evaluation of WHEN conditions for AFTER ROW UPDATE triggers could crash if there had been a BEFORE ROW trigger fired for the same update. Fix by not trying to overload the use of estate->es_trig_tuple_slot. Per report from Yoran Heling. Back-patch to 9.0, when trigger WHEN conditions were introduced.

* Move Trigger and TriggerDesc structs out of rel.h into a new reltrigger.hAlvaro Herrera2011-07-04
| | | | | This lets us stop including rel.h into execnodes.h, which is a widely used header.
* Fix bugs in relpersistence handling during table creation.Robert Haas2011-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike the relistemp field which it replaced, relpersistence must be set correctly quite early during the table creation process, as we rely on it quite early on for a number of purposes, including security checks. Normally, this is set based on whether the user enters CREATE TABLE, CREATE UNLOGGED TABLE, or CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE, but a relation may also be made implicitly temporary by creating it in pg_temp. This patch fixes the handling of that case, and also disables creation of unlogged tables in temporary tablespace (such table indeed skip WAL-logging, but we reject an explicit specification) and creation of relations in the temporary schemas of other sessions (which is not very sensible, and didn't work right anyway). Report by Amit Khandekar.
* Move the PredicateLockRelation() call from nodeSeqscan.c to heapam.c. It'sHeikki Linnakangas2011-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | more consistent that way, since all the other PredicateLock* calls are made in various heapam.c and index AM functions. The call in nodeSeqscan.c was unnecessarily aggressive anyway, there's no need to try to lock the relation every time a tuple is fetched, it's enough to do it once. This has the user-visible effect that if a seq scan is initialized in the executor, but never executed, we now acquire the predicate lock on the heap relation anyway. We could avoid that by taking the lock on the first heap_getnext() call instead, but it doesn't seem worth the trouble given that it feels more natural to do it in heap_beginscan(). Also, remove the retail PredicateLockTuple() calls from heap_getnext(). In a seqscan, started with heap_begin(), we're holding a whole-relation predicate lock on the heap so there's no need to lock the tuples individually. Kevin Grittner and me
