* Merge Resdom nodes into TargetEntry nodes to simplify code and save aTom Lane2005-04-06
| | | | | | | | | few palloc's. I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date. initdb forced due to change in contents of stored rules.
* Revise TupleTableSlot code to avoid unnecessary construction and disassemblyTom Lane2005-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of tuples when passing data up through multiple plan nodes. A slot can now hold either a normal "physical" HeapTuple, or a "virtual" tuple consisting of Datum/isnull arrays. Upper plan levels can usually just copy the Datum arrays, avoiding heap_formtuple() and possible subsequent nocachegetattr() calls to extract the data again. This work extends Atsushi Ogawa's earlier patch, which provided the key idea of adding Datum arrays to TupleTableSlots. (I believe however that something like this was foreseen way back in Berkeley days --- see the old comment on ExecProject.) A test case involving many levels of join of fairly wide tables (about 80 columns altogether) showed about 3x overall speedup, though simple queries will probably not be helped very much. I have also duplicated some code in heaptuple.c in order to provide versions of heap_formtuple and friends that use "bool" arrays to indicate null attributes, instead of the old convention of "char" arrays containing either 'n' or ' '. This provides a better match to the convention used by ExecEvalExpr. While I have not made a concerted effort to get rid of uses of the old routines, I think they should be deprecated and eventually removed.

* Infrastructure for I/O of composite types: arrange for the I/O routinesTom Lane2004-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | of a composite type to get that type's OID as their second parameter, in place of typelem which is useless. The actual changes are mostly centralized in getTypeInputInfo and siblings, but I had to fix a few places that were fetching pg_type.typelem for themselves instead of using the lsyscache.c routines. Also, I renamed all the related variables from 'typelem' to 'typioparam' to discourage people from assuming that they necessarily contain array element types.
* Use the new List API function names throughout the backend, and disable theNeil Conway2004-05-30
| | | | | list compatibility API by default. While doing this, I decided to keep the llast() macro around and introduce llast_int() and llast_oid() variants.
* Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway2004-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer. A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes. The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope, be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
* Alter string format used for integer and OID lists in stored rules.Tom Lane2004-05-08
| | | | | | | | This simplifies and speeds up the reader by letting it get the representation right the first time, rather than correcting it after-the-fact. Also, after int and OID lists become separate node types per Neil's pending patch, this will let us treat these lists as just plain Nodes instead of requiring separate read/write macros the way we have now.

* Rewriter and planner should use only resno, not resname, to identifyTom Lane2003-08-11
| | | | | | | target columns in INSERT and UPDATE targetlists. Don't rely on resname to be accurate in ruleutils, either. This fixes bug reported by Donald Fraser, in which renaming a column referenced in a rule did not work very well.

* Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifiesTom Lane2003-05-06
| | | | | | | | | the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms. Turns out that representation was not convenient for either the planner or the executor; we can make the planner deliver exactly what the executor wants with no more effort. initdb forced due to change in stored rule representation.
* Improve print_expr() a little. It's still not very bright though.Tom Lane2003-01-22

* Allow merge and hash joins to occur on arbitrary expressions (anything notTom Lane2003-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | containing a volatile function), rather than only on 'Var = Var' clauses as before. This makes it practical to do flatten_join_alias_vars at the start of planning, which in turn eliminates a bunch of klugery inside the planner to deal with alias vars. As a free side effect, we now detect implied equality of non-Var expressions; for example in SELECT ... WHERE a.x = b.y and b.y = 42 we will deduce a.x = 42 and use that as a restriction qual on a. Also, we can remove the restriction introduced 12/5/02 to prevent pullup of subqueries whose targetlists contain sublinks. Still TODO: make statistical estimation routines in selfuncs.c and costsize.c smarter about expressions that are more complex than plain Vars. The need for this is considerably greater now that we have to be able to estimate the suitability of merge and hash join techniques on such expressions.
* Phase 2 of read-only-plans project: restructure expression-tree nodesTom Lane2002-12-12
| | | | | | | | | so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least a little space and speed improvement. initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.

* First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar andTom Lane2002-03-21
| | | | | | | | the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command. No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.

* Extend code that deduces implied equality clauses to detect whether aTom Lane2001-10-18
| | | | | | | | clause being added to a particular restriction-clause list is redundant with those already in the list. This avoids useless work at runtime, and (perhaps more importantly) keeps the selectivity estimation routines from generating too-small estimates of numbers of output rows. Also some minor improvements in OPTIMIZER_DEBUG displays.

* Reimplementation of UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT. INTERSECT/EXCEPT now meet theTom Lane2000-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too. This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the datatype conversions can be inserted safely. INITDB NEEDED!
* Subselects in FROM clause, per ISO syntax: FROM (SELECT ...) [AS] alias.Tom Lane2000-09-29
| | | | | | | | | (Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking moved out of rewriter and into executor. INITDB REQUIRED!
* Use variable aliases, if supplied, rather than real column names inTom Lane2000-09-25
| | | | | | | complaints about ungrouped variables. This is for consistency with behavior elsewhere, notably the fact that the relname is reported as an alias in these same complaints. Also, it'll work with subselect- in-FROM where old code didn't.
* First cut at full support for OUTER JOINs. There are still a few looseTom Lane2000-09-12
| | | | | ends to clean up (see my message of same date to pghackers), but mostly it works. INITDB REQUIRED!
* Reimplement nodeMaterial to use a temporary BufFile (or even memory, if theTom Lane2000-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation. This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting noname relations. With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it. Also clean up 'noname' plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans, and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.

* New cost model for planning, incorporating a penalty for random pageTom Lane2000-02-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | accesses versus sequential accesses, a (very crude) estimate of the effects of caching on random page accesses, and cost to evaluate WHERE- clause expressions. Export critical parameters for this model as SET variables. Also, create SET variables for the planner's enable flags (enable_seqscan, enable_indexscan, etc) so that these can be controlled more conveniently than via PGOPTIONS. Planner now estimates both startup cost (cost before retrieving first tuple) and total cost of each path, so it can optimize queries with LIMIT on a reasonable basis by interpolating between these costs. Same facility is a win for EXISTS(...) subqueries and some other cases. Redesign pathkey representation to achieve a major speedup in planning (I saw as much as 5X on a 10-way join); also minor changes in planner to reduce memory consumption by recycling discarded Path nodes and not constructing unnecessary lists. Minor cleanups to display more-plausible costs in some cases in EXPLAIN output. Initdb forced by change in interface to index cost estimation functions.

| | | | | | | | | store all ordering information in pathkeys lists (which are now lists of lists of PathKeyItem nodes, not just lists of lists of vars). This was a big win --- the code is smaller and IMHO more understandable than it was, even though it handles more cases. I believe the node changes will not force an initdb for anyone; planner nodes don't show up in stored rules.
