* Refactor to reduce code duplication for function property checking.Tom Lane2016-06-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | As noted by Andres Freund, we'd accumulated quite a few similar functions in clauses.c that examine all functions in an expression tree to see if they satisfy some boolean test. Reduce the duplication by inventing a function check_functions_in_node() that applies a simple callback function to each SQL function OID appearing in a given expression node. This also fixes some arguable oversights; for example, contain_mutable_functions() did not check aggregate or window functions for mutability. I doubt that that represents a live bug at the moment, because we don't really consider mutability for aggregates; but it might someday be one. I chose to put check_functions_in_node() in nodeFuncs.c because it seemed like other modules might wish to use it in future. That in turn forced moving set_opfuncid() et al into nodeFuncs.c, as the alternative was for nodeFuncs.c to depend on optimizer/setrefs.c which didn't seem very clean. In passing, teach contain_leaked_vars_walker() about a few more expression node types it can safely look through, and improve the rather messy and undercommented code in has_parallel_hazard_walker().

* Support IndexElem in raw_expression_tree_walker().Tom Lane2016-05-23
| | | | | | | | | Needed for cases in which INSERT ... ON CONFLICT appears inside a recursive CTE item. Per bug #14153 from Thomas Alton. Patch by Peter Geoghegan, slightly adjusted by me Report: <20160521232802.22598.13537@wrigleys.postgresql.org>
* Add support for more extensive testing of raw_expression_tree_walker().Tom Lane2016-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If RAW_EXPRESSION_COVERAGE_TEST is defined, do a no-op tree walk over every basic DML statement submitted to parse analysis. If we'd had this in place earlier, bug #14153 would have been caught by buildfarm testing. The difficulty is that raw_expression_tree_walker() is only used in limited cases involving CTEs (particularly recursive ones), so it's very easy for an oversight in it to not be noticed during testing of a seemingly-unrelated feature. The type of error we can expect to catch with this is complete omission of a node type from raw_expression_tree_walker(), and perhaps also recursion into a field that doesn't contain a node tree, though that would be an unlikely mistake. It won't catch failure to add new fields that need to be recursed into, unfortunately. I'll go enable this on one or two of my own buildfarm animals once bug #14153 is dealt with.

* Clean up a few parallelism-related things that pgindent wants to mangle.Robert Haas2016-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | In nodeFuncs.c, pgindent wants to introduce spurious indentation into the definitions of planstate_tree_walker and planstate_walk_subplans. Fix that by spreading the definition out across several lines, similar to what is already done for other walker functions in that file. In execParallel.c, in the definition of SharedExecutorInstrumentation, pgindent wants to insert more whitespace between the type name and the member name. That causes it to mangle comments later on the line. Fix by moving the comments out of line. Now that we have a bit more room, add some more details that may be useful to the next person reading this code.

* Redesign tablesample method API, and do extensive code review.Tom Lane2015-07-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original implementation of TABLESAMPLE modeled the tablesample method API on index access methods, which wasn't a good choice because, without specialized DDL commands, there's no way to build an extension that can implement a TSM. (Raw inserts into system catalogs are not an acceptable thing to do, because we can't undo them during DROP EXTENSION, nor will pg_upgrade behave sanely.) Instead adopt an API more like procedural language handlers or foreign data wrappers, wherein the only SQL-level support object needed is a single handler function identified by having a special return type. This lets us get rid of the supporting catalog altogether, so that no custom DDL support is needed for the feature. Adjust the API so that it can support non-constant tablesample arguments (the original coding assumed we could evaluate the argument expressions at ExecInitSampleScan time, which is undesirable even if it weren't outright unsafe), and discourage sampling methods from looking at invisible tuples. Make sure that the BERNOULLI and SYSTEM methods are genuinely repeatable within and across queries, as required by the SQL standard, and deal more honestly with methods that can't support that requirement. Make a full code-review pass over the tablesample additions, and fix assorted bugs, omissions, infelicities, and cosmetic issues (such as failure to put the added code stanzas in a consistent ordering). Improve EXPLAIN's output of tablesample plans, too. Back-patch to 9.5 so that we don't have to support the original API in production.

* 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.

* Fix ON CONFLICT bugs that manifest when used in rules.Andres Freund2015-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Specifically the tlist and rti of the pseudo "excluded" relation weren't properly treated by expression_tree_walker, which lead to errors when excluded was referenced inside a rule because the varnos where not properly adjusted. Similar omissions in OffsetVarNodes and expression_tree_mutator had less impact, but should obviously be fixed nonetheless. A couple tests of for ON CONFLICT UPDATE into INSERT rule bearing relations have been added. In passing I updated a couple comments.
* Add support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE.Andres Freund2015-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting. ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias. This feature is often referred to as upsert. This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken. If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is deemed inserted. To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT INTO now can alias its target table. Bumps catversion as stored rules change. Author: Peter Geoghegan, with significant contributions from Heikki Linnakangas and Andres Freund. Testing infrastructure by Jeff Janes.

* Support arrays as input to array_agg() and ARRAY(SELECT ...).Tom Lane2014-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | These cases formerly failed with errors about "could not find array type for data type". Now they yield arrays of the same element type and one higher dimension. The implementation involves creating functions with API similar to the existing accumArrayResult() family. I (tgl) also extended the base family by adding an initArrayResult() function, which allows callers to avoid special-casing the zero-inputs case if they just want an empty array as result. (Not all do, so the previous calling convention remains valid.) This allowed simplifying some existing code in xml.c and plperl.c. Ali Akbar, reviewed by Pavel Stehule, significantly modified by me
* Implement UPDATE tab SET (col1,col2,...) = (SELECT ...), ...Tom Lane2014-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This SQL-standard feature allows a sub-SELECT yielding multiple columns (but only one row) to be used to compute the new values of several columns to be updated. While the same results can be had with an independent sub-SELECT per column, such a workaround can require a great deal of duplicated computation. The standard actually says that the source for a multi-column assignment could be any row-valued expression. The implementation used here is tightly tied to our existing sub-SELECT support and can't handle other cases; the Bison grammar would have some issues with them too. However, I don't feel too bad about this since other cases can be converted into sub-SELECTs. For instance, "SET (a,b,c) = row_valued_function(x)" could be written "SET (a,b,c) = (SELECT * FROM row_valued_function(x))".
* Avoid recursion when processing simple lists of AND'ed or OR'ed clauses.Tom Lane2014-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Since most of the system thinks AND and OR are N-argument expressions anyway, let's have the grammar generate a representation of that form when dealing with input like "x AND y AND z AND ...", rather than generating a deeply-nested binary tree that just has to be flattened later by the planner. This avoids stack overflow in parse analysis when dealing with queries having more than a few thousand such clauses; and in any case it removes some rather unsightly inconsistencies, since some parts of parse analysis were generating N-argument ANDs/ORs already. It's still possible to get a stack overflow with weirdly parenthesized input, such as "x AND (y AND (z AND ( ... )))", but such cases are not mainstream usage. The maximum depth of parenthesization is already limited by Bison's stack in such cases, anyway, so that the limit is probably fairly platform-independent.

* Make security barrier views automatically updatableStephen Frost2014-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Views which are marked as security_barrier must have their quals applied before any user-defined quals are called, to prevent user-defined functions from being able to see rows which the security barrier view is intended to prevent them from seeing. Remove the restriction on security barrier views being automatically updatable by adding a new securityQuals list to the RTE structure which keeps track of the quals from security barrier views at each level, independently of the user-supplied quals. When RTEs are later discovered which have securityQuals populated, they are turned into subquery RTEs which are marked as security_barrier to prevent any user-supplied quals being pushed down (modulo LEAKPROOF quals).

* 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.

* Move strip_implicit_coercions() from optimizer to nodeFuncs.c.Tom Lane2013-07-23
| | | | | | | | Use of this function has spread into the parser and rewriter, so it seems like time to pull it out of the optimizer and put it into the more central nodeFuncs module. This eliminates the need to #include optimizer/clauses.h in most of the calling files, demonstrating that this function was indeed a bit outside the normal code reference patterns.
* WITH CHECK OPTION support for auto-updatable VIEWsStephen Frost2013-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For simple views which are automatically updatable, this patch allows the user to specify what level of checking should be done on records being inserted or updated. For 'LOCAL CHECK', new tuples are validated against the conditionals of the view they are being inserted into, while for 'CASCADED CHECK' the new tuples are validated against the conditionals for all views involved (from the top down).

* Clean up the mess around EXPLAIN and materialized views.Tom Lane2013-04-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revert the matview-related changes in explain.c's API, as per recent complaint from Robert Haas. The reason for these appears to have been principally some ill-considered choices around having intorel_startup do what ought to be parse-time checking, plus a poor arrangement for passing it the view parsetree it needs to store into pg_rewrite when creating a materialized view. Do the latter by having parse analysis stick a copy into the IntoClause, instead of doing it at runtime. (On the whole, I seriously question the choice to represent CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW as a variant of SELECT INTO/CREATE TABLE AS, because that means injecting even more complexity into what was already a horrid legacy kluge. However, I didn't go so far as to rethink that choice ... yet.) I also moved several error checks into matview parse analysis, and made the check for external Params in a matview more accurate. In passing, clean things up a bit more around interpretOidsOption(), and fix things so that we can use that to force no-oids for views, sequences, etc, thereby eliminating the need to cons up "oids = false" options when creating them. catversion bump due to change in IntoClause. (I wonder though if we really need readfuncs/outfuncs support for IntoClause anymore.)

* 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.
* Split CollateClause into separate raw and analyzed node types.Tom Lane2011-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | CollateClause is now used only in raw grammar output, and CollateExpr after parse analysis.

Also, clean up assorted infelicities and omissions in processing of the node type.
* Support data-modifying commands (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) in WITH.Tom Lane2011-02-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements data-modifying WITH queries according to the semantics that the updates all happen with the same command counter value, and in an unspecified order. Therefore one WITH clause can't see the effects of another, nor can the outer query see the effects other than through the RETURNING values. And attempts to do conflicting updates will have unpredictable results. We'll need to document all that. This commit just fixes the code; documentation updates are waiting on author.
