* Indexes with INCLUDE columns and their support in B-treeTeodor Sigaev2018-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces INCLUDE clause to index definition. This clause specifies a list of columns which will be included as a non-key part in the index. The INCLUDE columns exist solely to allow more queries to benefit from index-only scans. Also, such columns don't need to have appropriate operator classes. Expressions are not supported as INCLUDE columns since they cannot be used in index-only scans. Index access methods supporting INCLUDE are indicated by amcaninclude flag in IndexAmRoutine. For now, only B-tree indexes support INCLUDE clause. In B-tree indexes INCLUDE columns are truncated from pivot index tuples (tuples located in non-leaf pages and high keys). Therefore, B-tree indexes now might have variable number of attributes. This patch also provides generic facility to support that: pivot tuples contain number of their attributes in t_tid.ip_posid. Free 13th bit of t_info is used for indicating that. This facility will simplify further support of index suffix truncation. The changes of above are backward-compatible, pg_upgrade doesn't need special handling of B-tree indexes for that.

* Fast ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN with a non-NULL defaultAndrew Dunstan2018-03-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently adding a column to a table with a non-NULL default results in a rewrite of the table. For large tables this can be both expensive and disruptive. This patch removes the need for the rewrite as long as the default value is not volatile. The default expression is evaluated at the time of the ALTER TABLE and the result stored in a new column (attmissingval) in pg_attribute, and a new column (atthasmissing) is set to true. Any existing row when fetched will be supplied with the attmissingval. New rows will have the supplied value or the default and so will never need the attmissingval. Any time the table is rewritten all the atthasmissing and attmissingval settings for the attributes are cleared, as they are no longer needed. The most visible code change from this is in heap_attisnull, which acquires a third TupleDesc argument, allowing it to detect a missing value if there is one. In many cases where it is known that there will not be any (e.g. catalog relations) NULL can be passed for this argument. Andrew Dunstan, heavily modified from an original patch from Serge Rielau.

* Fix mishandling of quoted-list GUC values in pg_dump and ruleutils.c.Tom Lane2018-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Code that prints out the contents of setconfig or proconfig arrays in SQL format needs to handle GUC_LIST_QUOTE variables differently from other ones, because for those variables, flatten_set_variable_args() already applied a layer of quoting. The value can therefore safely be printed as-is, and indeed must be, or flatten_set_variable_args() will muck it up completely on reload. For all other GUC variables, it's necessary and sufficient to quote the value as a SQL literal. We'd recognized the need for this long ago, but mis-analyzed the need slightly, thinking that all GUC_LIST_INPUT variables needed the special treatment. That's actually wrong, since a valid value of a LIST variable might include characters that need quoting, although no existing variables accept such values. More to the point, we hadn't made any particular effort to keep the various places that deal with this up-to-date with the set of variables that actually need special treatment, meaning that we'd do the wrong thing with, for example, temp_tablespaces values. This affects dumping of SET clauses attached to functions, as well as ALTER DATABASE/ROLE SET commands. In ruleutils.c we can fix it reasonably honestly by exporting a guc.c function that allows discovering the flags for a given GUC variable. But pg_dump doesn't have easy access to that, so continue the old method of having a hard-wired list of affected variable names. At least we can fix it to have just one list not two, and update the list to match current reality. A remaining problem with this is that it only works for built-in GUC variables. pg_dump's list obvious knows nothing of third-party extensions, and even the "ask guc.c" method isn't bulletproof since the relevant extension might not be loaded. There's no obvious solution to that, so for now, we'll just have to discourage extension authors from inventing custom GUCs that need GUC_LIST_QUOTE. This has been busted for a long time, so back-patch to all supported branches.

* Fix some corner-case issues in REFRESH MATERIALIZED VIEW CONCURRENTLY.Tom Lane2018-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | refresh_by_match_merge() has some issues in the way it builds a SQL query to construct the "diff" table: 1. It doesn't require the selected unique index(es) to be indimmediate. 2. It doesn't pay attention to the particular equality semantics enforced by a given index, but just assumes that they must be those of the column datatype's default btree opclass. 3. It doesn't check that the indexes are btrees. 4. It's insufficiently careful to ensure that the parser will pick the intended operator when parsing the query. (This would have been a security bug before CVE-2018-1058.) 5. It's not careful about indexes on system columns. The way to fix #4 is to make use of the existing code in ri_triggers.c for generating an arbitrary binary operator clause. I chose to move that to ruleutils.c, since that seems a more reasonable place to be exporting such functionality from than ri_triggers.c. While #1, #3, and #5 are just latent given existing feature restrictions, and #2 doesn't arise in the core system for lack of alternate opclasses with different equality behaviors, #4 seems like an issue worth back-patching. That's the bulk of the change anyway, so just back-patch the whole thing to 9.4 where this code was introduced. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/13836.1521413227@sss.pgh.pa.us

* Avoid using unsafe search_path settings during dump and restore.Tom Lane2018-02-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, pg_dump has "set search_path = foo, pg_catalog" when dumping an object in schema "foo", and has also caused that setting to be used while restoring the object. This is problematic because functions and operators in schema "foo" could capture references meant to refer to pg_catalog entries, both in the queries issued by pg_dump and those issued during the subsequent restore run. That could result in dump/restore misbehavior, or in privilege escalation if a nefarious user installs trojan-horse functions or operators. This patch changes pg_dump so that it does not change the search_path dynamically. The emitted restore script sets the search_path to what was used at dump time, and then leaves it alone thereafter. Created objects are placed in the correct schema, regardless of the active search_path, by dint of schema-qualifying their names in the CREATE commands, as well as in subsequent ALTER and ALTER-like commands. Since this change requires a change in the behavior of pg_restore when processing an archive file made according to this new convention, bump the archive file version number; old versions of pg_restore will therefore refuse to process files made with new versions of pg_dump.

* Support all SQL:2011 options for window frame clauses.Tom Lane2018-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to use "RANGE offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" frame boundaries in window functions. We'd punted on that back in the original patch to add window functions, because it was not clear how to do it in a reasonably data-type-extensible fashion. That problem is resolved here by adding the ability for btree operator classes to provide an "in_range" support function that defines how to add or subtract the RANGE offset value. Factoring it this way also allows the operator class to avoid overflow problems near the ends of the datatype's range, if it wishes to expend effort on that. (In the committed patch, the integer opclasses handle that issue, but it did not seem worth the trouble to avoid overflow failures for datetime types.) The patch includes in_range support for the integer_ops opfamily (int2/int4/int8) as well as the standard datetime types. Support for other numeric types has been requested, but that seems like suitable material for a follow-on patch. In addition, the patch adds GROUPS mode which counts the offset in ORDER-BY peer groups rather than rows, and it adds the frame_exclusion options specified by SQL:2011. As far as I can see, we are now fully up to spec on window framing options. Existing behaviors remain unchanged, except that I changed the errcode for a couple of existing error reports to meet the SQL spec's expectation that negative "offset" values should be reported as SQLSTATE 22013. Internally and in relevant parts of the documentation, we now consistently use the terminology "offset PRECEDING/FOLLOWING" rather than "value PRECEDING/FOLLOWING", since the term "value" is confusingly vague.

* Local partitioned indexesAlvaro Herrera2018-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When CREATE INDEX is run on a partitioned table, create catalog entries for an index on the partitioned table (which is just a placeholder since the table proper has no data of its own), and recurse to create actual indexes on the existing partitions; create them in future partitions also. As a convenience gadget, if the new index definition matches some existing index in partitions, these are picked up and used instead of creating new ones. Whichever way these indexes come about, they become attached to the index on the parent table and are dropped alongside it, and cannot be dropped on isolation unless they are detached first. To support pg_dump'ing these indexes, add commands CREATE INDEX ON ONLY <table> (which creates the index on the parent partitioned table, without recursing) and ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION (which is used after the indexes have been created individually on each partition, to attach them to the parent index). These reconstruct prior database state exactly.

This commit adds new commands CALL, CREATE/ALTER/DROP PROCEDURE, as well as ALTER/DROP ROUTINE that can refer to either a function or a procedure (or an aggregate function, as an extension to SQL). There is also support for procedures in various utility commands such as COMMENT and GRANT, as well as support in pg_dump and psql. Support for defining procedures is available in all the languages supplied by the core distribution.

* 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.

The results from pg_get_ruledef would then be different and arguably wrong.

* Use MINVALUE/MAXVALUE instead of UNBOUNDED for range partition bounds.Dean Rasheed2017-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, UNBOUNDED meant no lower bound when used in the FROM list, and no upper bound when used in the TO list, which was OK for single-column range partitioning, but problematic with multiple columns. For example, an upper bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED) would not be collocated with a lower bound of (10.0, UNBOUNDED), thus making it difficult or impossible to define contiguous multi-column range partitions in some cases. Fix this by using MINVALUE and MAXVALUE instead of UNBOUNDED to represent a partition column that is unbounded below or above respectively. This syntax removes any ambiguity, and ensures that if one partition's lower bound equals another partition's upper bound, then the partitions are contiguous. Also drop the constraint prohibiting finite values after an unbounded column, and just document the fact that any values after MINVALUE or MAXVALUE are ignored. Previously it was necessary to repeat UNBOUNDED multiple times, which was needlessly verbose. Note: Forces a post-PG 10 beta2 initdb.

The readfuncs support may never be needed, since at present it would only matter for parallel query and NextValueExpr should never appear in a parallelizable query; but it seems like a bad idea to have a primnode type that isn't fully supported here.) Teach planner infrastructure that NextValueExpr is a volatile, parallel-unsafe, non-leaky expression node with cost cpu_operator_cost. Given its limited scope of usage, there *might* be no live bug today from the lack of that knowledge, but it's certainly going to bite us on the rear someday. Teach pg_stat_statements about the new node type, too. While at it, also teach cost_qual_eval() that MinMaxExpr, SQLValueFunction, XmlExpr, and CoerceToDomain should be charged as cpu_operator_cost. Failing to do this for SQLValueFunction was an oversight in my commit 0bb51aa96. The others are longer-standing oversights, but no time like the present to fix them. (In principle, CoerceToDomain could have cost much higher than this, but it doesn't presently seem worth trying to examine the domain's constraints here.) Modify execExprInterp.c to execute NextValueExpr as an out-of-line function; it seems quite unlikely to me that it's worth insisting that it be inlined in all expression eval methods. Besides, providing the out-of-line function doesn't stop anyone from inlining if they want to. Adjust some places where NextValueExpr support had been inserted with the aid of a dartboard rather than keeping it in the same order as elsewhere.

* Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. 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.

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.

* Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane2017-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

* Replace over-optimistic Assert in partitioning code with a runtime test.Tom Lane2017-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | get_partition_parent felt that it could simply Assert that systable_getnext found a tuple. This is unlike any other caller of that function, and it's unsafe IMO --- in fact, the reason I noticed it was that the Assert failed. (OK, I was working with known-inconsistent catalog contents, but I wasn't expecting the DB to fall over quite that violently. The behavior in a non-assert-enabled build wouldn't be very nice, either.) Fix it to do what other callers do, namely an actual runtime-test-and-elog. Also, standardize the wording of elog messages that are complaining about unexpected failure of systable_getnext. 90% of them say "could not find tuple for <object>", so make the remainder do likewise. Many of the holdouts were using the phrasing "cache lookup failed", which is outright misleading since no catcache search is involved.
* Code review focused on new node types added by partitioning support.Tom Lane2017-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix failure to check that we got a plain Const from const-simplification of a coercion request. This is the cause of bug #14666 from Tian Bing: there is an int4 to money cast, but it's only stable not immutable (because of dependence on lc_monetary), resulting in a FuncExpr that the code was miserably unequipped to deal with, or indeed even to notice that it was failing to deal with. Add test cases around this coercion behavior. In view of the above, sprinkle the code liberally with castNode() macros, in hope of catching the next such bug a bit sooner. Also, change some functions that were randomly declared to take Node* to take more specific pointer types. And change some struct fields that were declared Node* but could be given more specific types, allowing removal of assorted explicit casts. Place PARTITION_MAX_KEYS check a bit closer to the code it's protecting. Likewise check only-one-key-for-list-partitioning restriction in a less random place. Avoid not-per-project-style usages like !strcmp(...). Fix assorted failures to avoid scribbling on the input of parse transformation. I'm not sure how necessary this is, but it's entirely silly for these functions to be expending cycles to avoid that and not getting it right. Add guards against partitioning on system columns. Put backend/nodes/ support code into an order that matches handling of these node types elsewhere. Annotate the fact that somebody added location fields to PartitionBoundSpec and PartitionRangeDatum but forgot to handle them in outfuncs.c/readfuncs.c. This is fairly harmless for production purposes (since readfuncs.c would just substitute -1 anyway) but it's still bogus. It's not worth forcing a post-beta1 initdb just to fix this, but if we have another reason to force initdb before 10.0, we should go back and clean this up. Contrariwise, somebody added location fields to PartitionElem and PartitionSpec but forgot to teach exprLocation() about them. Consolidate duplicative code in transformPartitionBound(). Improve a couple of error messages. Improve assorted commentary. Re-pgindent the files touched by this patch; this affects a few comment blocks that must have been added quite recently.

* Standardize terminology for pg_statistic_ext entries.Tom Lane2017-05-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Consistently refer to such an entry as a "statistics object", not just "statistics" or "extended statistics". Previously we had a mismash of terms, accompanied by utter confusion as to whether the term was singular or plural. That's not only grating (at least to the ear of a native English speaker) but could be outright misleading, eg in error messages that seemed to be referring to multiple objects where only one could be meant. This commit fixes the code and a lot of comments (though I may have missed a few). I also renamed two new SQL functions, pg_get_statisticsextdef -> pg_get_statisticsobjdef pg_statistic_ext_is_visible -> pg_statistics_obj_is_visible to conform better with this terminology. I have not touched the SGML docs other than fixing those function names; the docs certainly need work but it seems like a separable task.

* Change CREATE STATISTICS syntaxAlvaro Herrera2017-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously, we had the WITH clause in the middle of the command, where you'd specify both generic options as well as statistic types. Few people liked this, so this commit changes it to remove the WITH keyword from that clause and makes it accept statistic types only. (We currently don't have any generic options, but if we invent in the future, we will gain a new WITH clause, probably at the end of the command). Also, the column list is now specified without parens, which makes the whole command look more similar to a SELECT command. This change will let us expand the command to supporting expressions (not just columns names) as well as multiple tables and their join conditions. Tom added lots of code comments and fixed some parts of the CREATE STATISTICS reference page, too; more changes in this area are forthcoming. He also fixed a potential problem in the alter_generic regression test, reducing verbosity on a cascaded drop to avoid dependency on message ordering, as we do in other tests. Tom also closed a security bug: we documented that table ownership was required in order to create a statistics object on it, but didn't actually implement it. Implement tab-completion for statistics objects. This can stand some more improvement.

* pg_get_partkeydef: return NULL for non-partitionsStephen Frost2017-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | Our general rule for pg_get_X(oid) functions is to simply return NULL when passed an invalid or inappropriate OID. Teach pg_get_partkeydef to do this also, making it easier for users to use this function when querying against tables with both partitions and non-partitions (such as pg_class).

* Improve castNode notation by introducing list-extraction-specific variants.Tom Lane2017-04-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This extends the castNode() notation introduced by commit 5bcab1114 to provide, in one step, extraction of a list cell's pointer and coercion to a concrete node type. For example, "lfirst_node(Foo, lc)" is the same as "castNode(Foo, lfirst(lc))". Almost half of the uses of castNode that have appeared so far include a list extraction call, so this is pretty widely useful, and it saves a few more keystrokes compared to the old way. As with the previous patch, back-patch the addition of these macros to pg_list.h, so that the notation will be available when back-patching. Patch by me, after an idea of Andrew Gierth's.

* Add infrastructure to support EphemeralNamedRelation references.Kevin Grittner2017-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A QueryEnvironment concept is added, which allows new types of objects to be passed into queries from parsing on through execution. At this point, the only thing implemented is a collection of EphemeralNamedRelation objects -- relations which can be referenced by name in queries, but do not exist in the catalogs. The only type of ENR implemented is NamedTuplestore, but provision is made to add more types fairly easily. An ENR can carry its own TupleDesc or reference a relation in the catalogs by relid. Although these features can be used without SPI, convenience functions are added to SPI so that ENRs can easily be used by code run through SPI. The initial use of all this is going to be transition tables in AFTER triggers, but that will be added to each PL as a separate commit. An incidental effect of this patch is to produce a more informative error message if an attempt is made to modify the contents of a CTE from a referencing DML statement. No tests previously covered that possibility, so one is added.

* Fix a couple of problems in pg_get_statisticsextdefAlvaro Herrera2017-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | There was a thinko whereby we tested the wrong tuple after fetching it from cache; avoid that by using generate_relation_name instead, which is simpler. Also, the statistics name was not qualified, so add that. (It could be argued that qualification should be conditional on the schema not being on search path. We can add that later, but at least this form is correct.) Author: David Rowley, Álvaro Herrera Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/CAKJS1f8RjLeVZJ2+93pdQGuZJeBF-ifsHaFMR-q-6-Z0qxA8cA@mail.gmail.com
* Faster expression evaluation and targetlist projection.Andres Freund2017-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This replaces the old, recursive tree-walk based evaluation, with non-recursive, opcode dispatch based, expression evaluation. Projection is now implemented as part of expression evaluation. This both leads to significant performance improvements, and makes future just-in-time compilation of expressions easier. The speed gains primarily come from: - non-recursive implementation reduces stack usage / overhead - simple sub-expressions are implemented with a single jump, without function calls - sharing some state between different sub-expressions - reduced amount of indirect/hard to predict memory accesses by laying out operation metadata sequentially; including the avoidance of nearly all of the previously used linked lists - more code has been moved to expression initialization, avoiding constant re-checks at evaluation time Future just-in-time compilation (JIT) has become easier, as demonstrated by released patches intended to be merged in a later release, for primarily two reasons: Firstly, due to a stricter split between expression initialization and evaluation, less code has to be handled by the JIT. Secondly, due to the non-recursive nature of the generated "instructions", less performance-critical code-paths can easily be shared between interpreted and compiled evaluation. The new framework allows for significant future optimizations. E.g.: - basic infrastructure for to later reduce the per executor-startup overhead of expression evaluation, by caching state in prepared statements. That'd be helpful in OLTPish scenarios where initialization overhead is measurable. - optimizing the generated "code". A number of proposals for potential work has already been made. - optimizing the interpreter. Similarly a number of proposals have been made here too. The move of logic into the expression initialization step leads to some backward-incompatible changes: - Function permission checks are now done during expression initialization, whereas previously they were done during execution. In edge cases this can lead to errors being raised that previously wouldn't have been, e.g. a NULL array being coerced to a different array type previously didn't perform checks. - The set of domain constraints to be checked, is now evaluated once during expression initialization, previously it was re-built every time a domain check was evaluated. For normal queries this doesn't change much, but e.g. for plpgsql functions, which caches ExprStates, the old set could stick around longer. The behavior around might still change.

* Implement multivariate n-distinct coefficientsAlvaro Herrera2017-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add support for explicitly declared statistic objects (CREATE STATISTICS), allowing collection of statistics on more complex combinations that individual table columns. Companion commands DROP STATISTICS and ALTER STATISTICS ... OWNER TO / SET SCHEMA / RENAME are added too. All this DDL has been designed so that more statistic types can be added later on, such as multivariate most-common-values and multivariate histograms between columns of a single table, leaving room for permitting columns on multiple tables, too, as well as expressions. This commit only adds support for collection of n-distinct coefficient on user-specified sets of columns in a single table. This is useful to estimate number of distinct groups in GROUP BY and DISTINCT clauses; estimation errors there can cause over-allocation of memory in hashed aggregates, for instance, so it's a worthwhile problem to solve. A new special pseudo-type pg_ndistinct is used. (num-distinct estimation was deemed sufficiently useful by itself that this is worthwhile even if no further statistic types are added immediately; so much so that another version of essentially the same functionality was submitted by Kyotaro Horiguchi: https://postgr.es/m/20150828.173334.114731693.horiguchi.kyotaro@lab.ntt.co.jp though this commit does not use that code.)

* Use wrappers of PG_DETOAST_DATUM_PACKED() more.Noah Misch2017-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This makes almost all core code follow the policy introduced in the previous commit. Specific decisions: - Text search support functions with char* and length arguments, such as prsstart and lexize, may receive unaligned strings. I doubt maintainers of non-core text search code will notice. - Use plain VARDATA() on values detoasted or synthesized earlier in the same function. Use VARDATA_ANY() on varlenas sourced outside the function, even if they happen to always have four-byte headers. As an exception, retain the universal practice of using VARDATA() on return values of SendFunctionCall(). - Retain PG_GETARG_BYTEA_P() in pageinspect. (Page images are too large for a one-byte header, so this misses no optimization.) Sites that do not call get_page_from_raw() typically need the four-byte alignment. - For now, do not change btree_gist. Its use of four-byte headers in memory is partly entangled with storage of 4-byte headers inside GBT_VARKEY, on disk. - For now, do not change gtrgm_consistent() or gtrgm_distance(). They incorporate the varlena header into a cache, and there are multiple credible implementation strategies to consider.
* 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.)
