* Make some small planner API cleanups.Tom Lane2019-01-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Move a few very simple node-creation and node-type-testing functions from the planner's clauses.c to nodes/makefuncs and nodes/nodeFuncs. There's nothing planner-specific about them, as evidenced by the number of other places that were using them. While at it, rename and_clause() etc to is_andclause() etc, to clarify that they are node-type-testing functions not node-creation functions. And use "static inline" implementations for the shortest ones. Also, modify flatten_join_alias_vars() and some subsidiary functions to take a Query not a PlannerInfo to define the join structure that Vars should be translated according to. They were only using the "parse" field of the PlannerInfo anyway, so this just requires removing one level of indirection. The advantage is that now parse_agg.c can use flatten_join_alias_vars() without the horrid kluge of creating an incomplete PlannerInfo, which will allow that file to be decoupled from relation.h in a subsequent patch.

* Revise attribute handling code on partition creationAlvaro Herrera2018-11-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original code to propagate NOT NULL and default expressions specified when creating a partition was mostly copy-pasted from typed-tables creation, but not being a great match it contained some duplicity, inefficiency and bugs. This commit fixes the bug that NOT NULL constraints declared in the parent table would not be honored in the partition. One reported issue that is not fixed is that a DEFAULT declared in the child is not used when inserting through the parent. That would amount to a behavioral change that's better not back-patched. This rewrite makes the code simpler: 1. instead of checking for duplicate column names in its own block, reuse the original one that already did that; 2. instead of concatenating the list of columns from parent and the one declared in the partition and scanning the result to (incorrectly) propagate defaults and not-null constraints, just scan the latter searching the former for a match, and merging sensibly. This works because we know the list in the parent is already correct and there can only be one parent. This rewrite makes ColumnDef->is_from_parent unused, so it's removed on branch master; on released branches, it's kept as an unused field in order not to cause ABI incompatibilities. This commit also adds a test case for creating partitions with collations mismatching that on the parent table, something that is closely related to the code being patched. No code change is introduced though, since that'd be a behavior change that could break some (broken) working applications. Amit Langote wrote a less invasive fix for the original NOT NULL/defaults bug, but while I kept the tests he added, I ended up not using his original code. Ashutosh Bapat reviewed Amit's fix.

* Support domains over composite types.Tom Lane2017-10-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the last major omission in our domains feature: you can now make a domain over anything that's not a pseudotype. The major complication from an implementation standpoint is that places that might be creating tuples of a domain type now need to be prepared to apply domain_check(). It seems better that unprepared code fail with an error like "<type> is not composite" than that it silently fail to apply domain constraints. Therefore, relevant infrastructure like get_func_result_type() and lookup_rowtype_tupdesc() has been adjusted to treat domain-over-composite as a distinct case that unprepared code won't recognize, rather than just transparently treating it the same as plain composite. This isn't a 100% solution to the possibility of overlooked domain checks, but it catches most places. In passing, improve typcache.c's support for domains (it can now cache the identity of a domain's base type), and rewrite the argument handling logic in jsonfuncs.c's populate_record[set]_worker to reduce duplicative per-call lookups. I believe this is code-complete so far as the core and contrib code go. The PLs need varying amounts of work, which will be tackled in followup patches.

* Allow multiple tables to be specified in one VACUUM or ANALYZE command.Tom Lane2017-10-03

However, formerly, if there was a column list then the ANALYZE action was implied; now it must be specified, or you get an error.

* 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.

* Support XMLTABLE query expressionAlvaro Herrera2017-03-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XMLTABLE is defined by the SQL/XML standard as a feature that allows turning XML-formatted data into relational form, so that it can be used as a <table primary> in the FROM clause of a query. This new construct provides significant simplicity and performance benefit for XML data processing; what in a client-side custom implementation was reported to take 20 minutes can be executed in 400ms using XMLTABLE. (The same functionality was said to take 10 seconds using nested PostgreSQL XPath function calls, and 5 seconds using XMLReader under PL/Python). The implemented syntax deviates slightly from what the standard requires. First, the standard indicates that the PASSING clause is optional and that multiple XML input documents may be given to it; we make it mandatory and accept a single document only. Second, we don't currently support a default namespace to be specified. This implementation relies on a new executor node based on a hardcoded method table. (Because the grammar is fixed, there is no extensibility in the current approach; further constructs can be implemented on top of this such as JSON_TABLE, but they require changes to core code.)

* Replace enum InhOption with simple boolean.Tom Lane2016-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now that it has only INH_NO and INH_YES values, it's just weird that it's not a plain bool, so make it that way. Also rename RangeVar.inhOpt to "inh", to be like RangeTblEntry.inh. My recollection is that we gave it a different name specifically because it had a different representation than the derived bool value, but it no longer does. And this is a good forcing function to be sure we catch any places that are affected by the change. Bump catversion because of possible effect on stored RangeVar nodes. I'm not exactly convinced that we ever store RangeVar on disk, but we have a readfuncs function for it, so be cautious. (If we do do so, then commit e13486eba was in error not to bump catversion.)

To propogate the error position information in a more systematic way, create a ParseState in standard_ProcessUtility() and pass that to interested functions implementing the utility commands.

* Fix CREATE MATVIEW/CREATE TABLE AS ... WITH NO DATA to not plan the query.Tom Lane2016-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, these commands always planned the given query and went through executor startup before deciding not to actually run the query if WITH NO DATA is specified. This behavior is problematic for pg_dump because it may cause errors to be raised that we would rather not see before a REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW command is issued. See for example bug #13907 from Marian Krucina. This change is not sufficient to fix that particular bug, because we also need to tweak pg_dump to issue the REFRESH later, but it's a necessary step on the way. A user-visible side effect of doing things this way is that the returned command tag for WITH NO DATA cases will now be "CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW" or "CREATE TABLE AS", not "SELECT 0". We could preserve the old behavior but it would take more code, and arguably that was just an implementation artifact not intended behavior anyhow. In 9.5 and HEAD, also get rid of the static variable CreateAsReladdr, which was trouble waiting to happen; there is not any prohibition on nested CREATE commands.

* Add defenses against putting expanded objects into Const nodes.Tom Lane2016-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Putting a reference to an expanded-format value into a Const node would be a bad idea for a couple of reasons. It'd be possible for the supposedly immutable Const to change value, if something modified the referenced variable ... in fact, if the Const's reference were R/W, any function that has the Const as argument might itself change it at runtime. Also, because datumIsEqual() is pretty simplistic, the Const might fail to compare equal to other Consts that it should compare equal to, notably including copies of itself. This could lead to unexpected planner behavior, such as "could not find pathkey item to sort" errors or inferior plans. I have not been able to find any way to get an expanded value into a Const within the existing core code; but Paul Ramsey was able to trigger the problem by writing a datatype input function that returns an expanded value. The best fix seems to be to establish a rule that varlena values being placed into Const nodes should be passed through pg_detoast_datum(). That will do nothing (and cost little) in normal cases, but it will flatten expanded values and thereby avoid the above problems. Also, it will convert short-header or compressed values into canonical format, which will avoid possible unexpected lack-of-equality issues for those cases too. And it provides a last-ditch defense against putting a toasted value into a Const, which we already knew was dangerous, cf commit 2b0c86b66563cf2f. (In the light of this discussion, I'm no longer sure that that commit provided 100% protection against such cases, but this fix should do it.) The test added in commit 65c3d05e18e7c530 to catch datatype input functions with unstable results would fail for functions that returned expanded values; but it seems a bit uncharitable to deem a result unstable just because it's expressed in expanded form, so revise the coding so that we check for bitwise equality only after applying pg_detoast_datum(). That's a sufficient condition anyway given the new rule about detoasting when forming a Const. Back-patch to 9.5 where the expanded-object facility was added. It's possible that this should go back further; but in the absence of clear evidence that there's any live bug in older branches, I'll refrain for now.

* Support GROUPING SETS, CUBE and ROLLUP.Andres Freund2015-05-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This SQL standard functionality allows to aggregate data by different GROUP BY clauses at once. Each grouping set returns rows with columns grouped by in other sets set to NULL. This could previously be achieved by doing each grouping as a separate query, conjoined by UNION ALLs. Besides being considerably more concise, grouping sets will in many cases be faster, requiring only one scan over the underlying data. The current implementation of grouping sets only supports using sorting for input. Individual sets that share a sort order are computed in one pass. If there are sets that don't share a sort order, additional sort & aggregation steps are performed. These additional passes are sourced by the previous sort step; thus avoiding repeated scans of the source data. The code is structured in a way that adding support for purely using hash aggregation or a mix of hashing and sorting is possible. Sorting was chosen to be supported first, as it is the most generic method of implementation. Instead of, as in an earlier versions of the patch, representing the chain of sort and aggregation steps as full blown planner and executor nodes, all but the first sort are performed inside the aggregation node itself. This avoids the need to do some unusual gymnastics to handle having to return aggregated and non-aggregated tuples from underlying nodes, as well as having to shut down underlying nodes early to limit memory usage. The optimizer still builds Sort/Agg node to describe each phase, but they're not part of the plan tree, but instead additional data for the aggregation node. They're a convenient and preexisting way to describe aggregation and sorting. The first (and possibly only) sort step is still performed as a separate execution step. That retains similarity with existing group by plans, makes rescans fairly simple, avoids very deep plans (leading to slow explains) and easily allows to avoid the sorting step if the underlying data is sorted by other means. A somewhat ugly side of this patch is having to deal with a grammar ambiguity between the new CUBE keyword and the cube extension/functions named cube (and rollup). To avoid breaking existing deployments of the cube extension it has not been renamed, neither has cube been made a reserved keyword. Instead precedence hacking is used to make GROUP BY cube(..) refer to the CUBE grouping sets feature, and not the function cube(). To actually group by a function cube(), unlikely as that might be, the function name has to be quoted. Needs a catversion bump because stored rules may change.

* Support ordered-set (WITHIN GROUP) aggregates.Tom Lane2013-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(), percent_rank(), cume_dist()). We also added mode() though it is not in the spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data. Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions. To allow the support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c. This allows retrieval of the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the immediate need. There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up. In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER additions for aggregates. Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT. It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types but not these.

* Support multi-argument UNNEST(), and TABLE() syntax for multiple functions.Tom Lane2013-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to write TABLE( function1(), function2(), ...) as a single FROM-clause entry. The result is the concatenation of the first row from each function, followed by the second row from each function, etc; with NULLs inserted if any function produces fewer rows than others. This is believed to be a much more useful behavior than what Postgres currently does with multiple SRFs in a SELECT list. This syntax also provides a reasonable way to combine use of column definition lists with WITH ORDINALITY: put the column definition list inside TABLE(), where it's clear that it doesn't control the ordinality column as well. Also implement SQL-compliant multiple-argument UNNEST(), by turning UNNEST(a,b,c) into TABLE(unnest(a), unnest(b), unnest(c)). The SQL standard specifies TABLE() with only a single function, not multiple functions, and it seems to require an implicit UNNEST() which is not what this patch does. There may be something wrong with that reading of the spec, though, because if it's right then the spec's TABLE() is just a pointless alternative spelling of UNNEST(). After further review of that, we might choose to adopt a different syntax for what this patch does, but in any case this functionality seems clearly worthwhile.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Originally we didn't bother to mark FuncExprs with any indication whether VARIADIC had been given in the source text, because there didn't seem to be any need for it at runtime. However, because we cannot fold a VARIADIC ANY function's arguments into an array (since they're not necessarily all the same type), we do actually need that information at runtime if VARIADIC ANY functions are to respond unsurprisingly to use of the VARIADIC keyword. Add the missing field, and also fix ruleutils.c so that VARIADIC ANY function calls are dumped properly. Extracted from a larger patch that also fixes concat() and format() (the only two extant VARIADIC ANY functions) to behave properly when VARIADIC is specified.

* Ensure that whole-row junk Vars are always of composite type.Tom Lane2011-11-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that whole-row Vars generated for the outputs of non-table RTEs will be of composite types. However, for the case where the RTE is a function call returning a scalar type, we were doing the wrong thing, as a result of sharing code with a parser case where the function's scalar output is wanted. (Or at least, that's what that case has done historically; it does seem a bit inconsistent.) To fix, extend makeWholeRowVar's API so that it can support both use-cases. This fixes Belinda Cussen's report of crashes during concurrent execution of UPDATEs involving joins to the result of UNNEST() --- in READ COMMITTED mode, we'd run the EvalPlanQual machinery after a conflicting row update commits, and it was expecting to get a HeapTuple not a scalar datum from the "wholerowN" variable referencing the function RTE. Back-patch to 9.0 where the current EvalPlanQual implementation appeared. In 9.1 and up, this patch also fixes failure to attach the correct collation to the Var generated for a scalar-result case. An example: regression=# select upper(x.*) from textcat('ab', 'cd') x; ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for upper() function
* Remove many -Wcast-qual warningsPeter Eisentraut2011-09-11

* Pass collation to makeConst() instead of looking it up internally.Tom Lane2011-03-25
| | | | | | | | | In nearly all cases, the caller already knows the correct collation, and in a number of places, the value the caller has handy is more correct than the default for the type would be. (In particular, this patch makes it significantly less likely that eval_const_expressions will result in changing the exposed collation of an expression.) So an internal lookup is both expensive and wrong.
* Revise collation derivation method and expression-tree representation.Tom Lane2011-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All expression nodes now have an explicit output-collation field, unless they are known to only return a noncollatable data type (such as boolean or record). Also, nodes that can invoke collation-aware functions store a separate field that is the collation value to pass to the function. This avoids confusion that arises when a function has collatable inputs and noncollatable output type, or vice versa. Also, replace the parser's on-the-fly collation assignment method with a post-pass over the completed expression tree. This allows us to use a more complex (and hopefully more nearly spec-compliant) assignment rule without paying for it in extra storage in every expression node. Fix assorted bugs in the planner's handling of collations by making collation one of the defining properties of an EquivalenceClass and by converting CollateExprs into discardable RelabelType nodes during expression preprocessing.
* Remove collation information from TypeName, where it does not belong.Tom Lane2011-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initial collations patch treated a COLLATE spec as part of a TypeName, following what can only be described as brain fade on the part of the SQL committee. It's a lot more reasonable to treat COLLATE as a syntactically separate object, so that it can be added in only the productions where it actually belongs, rather than needing to reject it in a boatload of places where it doesn't belong (something the original patch mostly failed to do). In addition this change lets us meet the spec's requirement to allow COLLATE anywhere in the clauses of a ColumnDef, and it avoids unfriendly behavior for constructs such as "foo::type COLLATE collation". To do this, pull collation information out of TypeName and put it in ColumnDef instead, thus reverting most of the collation-related changes in parse_type.c's API. I made one additional structural change, which was to use a ColumnDef as an intermediate node in AT_AlterColumnType AlterTableCmd nodes. This provides enough room to get rid of the "transform" wart in AlterTableCmd too, since the ColumnDef can carry the USING expression easily enough. Also fix some other minor bugs that have crept in in the same areas, like failure to copy recently-added fields of ColumnDef in copyfuncs.c. While at it, document the formerly secret ability to specify a collation in ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN TYPE, ALTER TYPE ADD ATTRIBUTE, and ALTER TYPE ALTER ATTRIBUTE TYPE; and correct some misstatements about what the default collation selection will be when COLLATE is omitted. BTW, the three-parameter form of format_type() should go away too, since it just contributes to the confusion in this area; but I'll do that in a separate patch.

* Fix incorrect generation of whole-row variables in planner.Tom Lane2010-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | A couple of places in the planner need to generate whole-row Vars, and were cutting corners by setting vartype = RECORDOID in the Vars, even in cases where there's an identifiable named composite type for the RTE being referenced. While we mostly got away with this, it failed when there was also a parser-generated whole-row reference to the same RTE, because the two Vars weren't equal() due to the difference in vartype. Fix by providing a subroutine the planner can call to generate whole-row Vars the same way the parser does. Per bug #5716 from Andrew Tipton. Back-patch to 9.0 where one of the bogus calls was introduced (the other one is new in HEAD).

* Add a bunch of new error location reports to parse-analysis error messages.Tom Lane2008-09-01
| | | | | There are still some weak spots around JOIN USING and relation alias lists, but most errors reported within backend/parser/ now have locations.
* Extend the parser location infrastructure to include a location field inTom Lane2008-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | most node types used in expression trees (both before and after parse analysis). This allows us to place an error cursor in many situations where we formerly could not, because the information wasn't available beyond the very first level of parse analysis. There's a fair amount of work still to be done to persuade individual ereport() calls to actually include an error location, but this gets the initdb-forcing part of the work out of the way; and the situation is already markedly better than before for complaints about unimplementable implicit casts, such as CASE and UNION constructs with incompatible alternative data types. Per my proposal of a few days ago.
