* Fix IS NULL and IS NOT NULL tests on row-valued expressions to conform toTom Lane2006-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | the SQL spec, viz IS NULL is true if all the row's fields are null, IS NOT NULL is true if all the row's fields are not null. The former coding got this right for a limited number of cases with IS NULL (ie, those where it could disassemble a ROW constructor at parse time), but was entirely wrong for IS NOT NULL. Per report from Teodor. I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec. This probably needs more consideration.
* Clean up logging for extended-query-protocol operations, as per my recentTom Lane2006-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | proposal. Parameter logging works even for binary-format parameters, and logging overhead is avoided when disabled. log_statement = all output for the src/test/examples/testlibpq3.c example now looks like LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place' LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2' and log_min_duration_statement = 0 results in LOG: duration: 2.431 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 LOG: duration: 2.335 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place' LOG: duration: 0.394 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place' LOG: duration: 1.251 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 LOG: duration: 0.566 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2' LOG: duration: 0.173 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4 DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2' (This example demonstrates the folly of ignoring parse/bind steps for duration logging purposes, BTW.) Along the way, create a less ad-hoc mechanism for determining which commands are logged by log_statement = mod and log_statement = ddl. The former coding was actually missing quite a few things that look like ddl to me, and it did not handle EXECUTE or extended query protocol correctly at all. This commit does not do anything about the question of whether log_duration should be removed or made less redundant with log_min_duration_statement.
* Change processing of extended-Query mode so that an unnamed statementTom Lane2006-09-06
| | | | | | | | that has parameters is always planned afresh for each Bind command, treating the parameter values as constants in the planner. This removes the performance penalty formerly often paid for using out-of-line parameters --- with this definition, the planner can do constant folding, LIKE optimization, etc. After a suggestion by Andrew@supernews.

| | | | | | | | | | optionally bind. I re-added the "statement:" label so people will understand why the line is being printed (it is log_*statement behavior). Use single quotes for bind values, instead of double quotes, and double literal single quotes in bind values (and document that). I also made use of the DETAIL line to have much cleaner output.
* Add new return codes SPI_OK_INSERT_RETURNING etc to the SPI API.Tom Lane2006-08-27
| | | | | | | Fix all the standard PLs to be able to return tuples from FOO_RETURNING statements as well as utility statements that return tuples. Also, fix oversight that SPI_processed wasn't set for a utility statement returning tuples. Per recent discussion.
* Fix oversight in initial implementation of PORTAL_ONE_RETURNING mode: weTom Lane2006-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | cannot assume that there's exactly one Query in the Portal, as we can for ONE_SELECT mode, because non-SELECT queries might have extra queries added during rule rewrites. Fix things up so that we'll use ONE_RETURNING mode when a Portal contains one primary (canSetTag) query and that query has a RETURNING list. This appears to be a second showstopper reason for running the Portal to completion before we start to hand anything back --- we want to be sure that the rule-added queries get run too.
* When executing a list of queries derived from rule expansion,Tom Lane2006-08-14
| | | | | | | | | _SPI_execute_plan's return code should reflect the type of the query that is marked canSetTag, not necessarily the last one in the list. This is arguably a bug fix, but I'm hesitant to back-patch it because it's the sort of subtle change that might break someone's code, and it's best not to do that kind of thing in point releases.
* Tweak SPI_cursor_open to allow INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE RETURNING; this wasTom Lane2006-08-12
| | | | | | | | merely a matter of fixing the error check, since the underlying Portal infrastructure already handles it. This in turn allows these statements to be used in some existing plpgsql and plperl contexts, such as a plpgsql FOR loop. Also, do some marginal code cleanup in places that were being sloppy about distinguishing SELECT from SELECT INTO.
* Add INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE RETURNING, with basic docs and regression tests.Tom Lane2006-08-12

* Fix domain_in() bug exhibited by Darcy Buskermolen. The idea of an EStateTom Lane2006-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | that's shorter-lived than the expression state being evaluated in it really doesn't work :-( --- we end up with fn_extra caches getting deleted while still in use. Rather than abandon the notion of caching expression state across domain_in calls altogether, I chose to make domain_in a bit cozier with ExprContext. All we really need for evaluating variable-free expressions is an ExprContext, not an EState, so I invented the notion of a "standalone" ExprContext. domain_in can prevent resource leakages by doing a ReScanExprContext on this rather than having to free it entirely; so we can make the ExprContext have the same lifespan (and particularly the same per_query memory context) as the expression state structs.
* Arrange for ValuesScan to keep per-sublist expression eval state in aTom Lane2006-08-02
| | | | | | | temporary context that can be reset when advancing to the next sublist. This is faster and more thorough at recovering space than the previous method; moreover it will do the right thing if something in the sublist tries to register an expression context callback.
* Add support for multi-row VALUES clauses as part of INSERT statementsJoe Conway2006-08-02
| | | | | | (e.g. "INSERT ... VALUES (...), (...), ...") and elsewhere as allowed by the spec. (e.g. similar to a FROM clause subselect). initdb required. Joe Conway and Tom Lane.
* Change the relation_open protocol so that we obtain lock on a relationTom Lane2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | (table or index) before trying to open its relcache entry. This fixes race conditions in which someone else commits a change to the relation's catalog entries while we are in process of doing relcache load. Problems of that ilk have been reported sporadically for years, but it was not really practical to fix until recently --- for instance, the recent addition of WAL-log support for in-place updates helped. Along the way, remove pg_am.amconcurrent: all AMs are now expected to support concurrent update.
* Change the bootstrap sequence so that toast tables for system catalogs areTom Lane2006-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | created in the bootstrap phase proper, rather than added after-the-fact by initdb. This is cleaner than before because it allows us to retire the undocumented ALTER TABLE ... CREATE TOAST TABLE command, but the real reason I'm doing it is so that toast tables of shared catalogs will now have predetermined OIDs. This will allow a reasonably clean solution to the problem of locking tables before we load their relcache entries, to appear in a forthcoming patch.
* Aggregate functions now support multiple input arguments. I also tookTom Lane2006-07-27
| | | | | | | | the opportunity to treat COUNT(*) as a zero-argument aggregate instead of the old hack that equated it to COUNT(1); this is materially cleaner (no more weird ANYOID cases) and ought to be at least a tiny bit faster. Original patch by Sergey Koposov; review, documentation, simple regression tests, pg_dump and psql support by moi.
* Code review for bigint-LIMIT patch. Fix missed planner dependency,Tom Lane2006-07-26
| | | | | | eliminate unnecessary code, force initdb because stored rules change (limit nodes are now supposed to be int8 not int4 expressions). Update comments and error messages, which still all said 'integer'.

* Code review for FILLFACTOR patch. Change WITH grammar as per earlierTom Lane2006-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | discussion (including making def_arg allow reserved words), add missed opt_definition for UNIQUE case. Put the reloptions support code in a less random place (I chose to make a new file access/common/reloptions.c). Eliminate header inclusion creep. Make the index options functions safely user-callable (seems like client apps might like to be able to test validity of options before trying to make an index). Reduce overhead for normal case with no options by allowing rd_options to be NULL. Fix some unmaintainably klugy code, including getting rid of Natts_pg_class_fixed at long last. Some stylistic cleanup too, and pay attention to keeping comments in sync with code. Documentation still needs work, though I did fix the omissions in catalogs.sgml and indexam.sgml.

* Fix hash aggregation to suppress unneeded columns from being stored inTom Lane2006-06-28
| | | | | | | | | tuple hash table entries. This addresses the problem previously noted that use of a 'physical tlist' in the input scan node could bloat the hash table entries far beyond what the planner expects. It's a better answer than my previous thought of undoing the physical tlist optimization, because we can also remove columns that are needed to compute the aggregate functions but aren't part of the grouping column set.

* Extend the MinimalTuple concept to tuplesort.c, thereby reducing theTom Lane2006-06-27
| | | | | | | | | per-tuple space overhead for sorts in memory. I chose to replace the previous patch that tried to write out the bare minimum amount of data when sorting on disk; instead, just dump the MinimalTuples as-is. This wastes 3 to 10 bytes per tuple depending on architecture and null-bitmap length, but the simplification in the writetup/readtup routines seems worth it.
* Create infrastructure for 'MinimalTuple' representation of in-memoryTom Lane2006-06-27
| | | | | | | | tuples with less header overhead than a regular HeapTuple, per my recent proposal. Teach TupleTableSlot code how to deal with these. As proof of concept, change tuplestore.c to store MinimalTuples instead of HeapTuples. Future patches will expand the concept to other places where it is useful.
* Remove ancient kluge that kept nodeAgg.c from crashing on UPDATEs involvingTom Lane2006-06-21
| | | | | | aggregates. We just disallowed that, and AFAICS there should be no other cases where direct (non-aggregated) references to input columns are allowed in a query with aggregation and no GROUP BY.
* Fix problems with cached tuple descriptors disappearing while still in useTom Lane2006-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context. Neil Conway and Tom Lane
* Revert sampling patch for EXPLAIN ANALYZE; it turns out to be too unreliableTom Lane2006-06-09

* Per previous analysis, the most correct notion of SampleOverhead is thatTom Lane2006-06-07
| | | | | | | it is just the total time to do INSTR_TIME_SET_CURRENT(), and not any of the other code involved in InstrStartNode/InstrStopNode. Even though I fear we may end up reverting this patch altogether, we may as well have the most correct version in our CVS archive.

* Remove CXT_printf/CXT1_printf macros. If anyone had found them to be ofTom Lane2006-05-23
| | | | | | | | | any use in the past many years, we'd have made some effort to include them in all executor node types; but in fact they were only in nodeAppend.c and nodeIndexscan.c, up until I copied nodeIndexscan.c's occurrence into the new bitmap node types. Remove some other unused macros in execdebug.h, too. Some day the whole header probably ought to go away in favor of better-designed facilities.
* Improve the representation of FOR UPDATE/FOR SHARE so that we canTom Lane2006-04-30

* Simplify ParamListInfo data structure to support only numbered parameters,Tom Lane2006-04-22
| | | | | | | not named ones, and replace linear searches of the list with array indexing. The named-parameter support has been dead code for many years anyway, and recent profiling suggests that the searching was costing a noticeable amount of performance for complex queries.
* Modify all callers of datatype input and receive functions so that if theseTom Lane2006-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | functions are not strict, they will be called (passing a NULL first parameter) during any attempt to input a NULL value of their datatype. Currently, all our input functions are strict and so this commit does not change any behavior. However, this will make it possible to build domain input functions that centralize checking of domain constraints, thereby closing numerous holes in our domain support, as per previous discussion. While at it, I took the opportunity to introduce convenience functions InputFunctionCall, OutputFunctionCall, etc to use in code that calls I/O functions. This eliminates a lot of grotty-looking casts, but the main motivation is to make it easier to grep for these places if we ever need to touch them again.
* Fix bug introduced into mergejoin logic by performance improvement patch ofTom Lane2006-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 2005-05-13. When we find that a new inner tuple can't possibly match any outer tuple (because it contains a NULL), we can't immediately skip the tuple when we are in NEXTINNER state. Doing so can lead to emitting multiple copies of the tuple in FillInner mode, because we may rescan the tuple after returning to a previous marked tuple. Instead, proceed to NEXTOUTER state the same as we used to do. After we've found that there's no need to return to the marked position, we can go to SKIPINNER_ADVANCE state instead of SKIP_TEST when the inner tuple is unmatchable; this preserves the performance improvement. Per bug report from Bruce. I also made a couple of cosmetic code rearrangements and added a regression test for the problem.
* Clean up representation of function RTEs for functions returning RECORD.Tom Lane2006-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding stored the raw parser output (ColumnDef and TypeName nodes) which was ugly, bulky, and wrong because it failed to create any dependency on the referenced datatype --- and in fact would not track type renamings and suchlike. Instead store a list of column type OIDs in the RTE. Also fix up general failure of recordDependencyOnExpr to do anything sane about recording dependencies on datatypes. While there are many cases where there will be an indirect dependency (eg if an operator returns a datatype, the dependency on the operator is enough), we do have to record the datatype as a separate dependency in examples like CoerceToDomain. initdb forced because of change of stored rules.
* Improve parser so that we can show an error cursor position for errorsTom Lane2006-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages. This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq, which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.
* Add a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() to the loop in ExecMakeTableFunctionResult.Tom Lane2006-03-10

* Teach nodeSort and nodeMaterial to optimize out unnecessary overheadTom Lane2006-02-28

* Extend the ExecInitNode API so that plan nodes receive a set of flagTom Lane2006-02-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | bits indicating which optional capabilities can actually be exercised at runtime. This will allow Sort and Material nodes, and perhaps later other nodes, to avoid unnecessary overhead in common cases. This commit just adds the infrastructure and arranges to pass the correct flag values down to plan nodes; none of the actual optimizations are here yet. I'm committing this separately in case anyone wants to measure the added overhead. (It should be negligible.) Simon Riggs and Tom Lane
