* Remove bogus code in oper_exact --- if it didn't find an exactTom Lane1999-08-23
| | | | | | | | | match then it tried for a self-commutative operator with the reversed input data types. This is pretty silly; there could never be such an operator, except maybe in binary-compatible-type scenarios, and we have oper_inexact for that. Besides which, the oprsanity regress test would complain about such an operator. Remove nonfunctional code and simplify routine calling convention accordingly.
* Further sort-order twiddling in optimizer: be smart aboutTom Lane1999-08-22

* Further planner/optimizer cleanups. Move all set_tlist_referencesTom Lane1999-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | and fix_opids processing to a single recursive pass over the plan tree executed at the very tail end of planning, rather than haphazardly here and there at different places. Now that tlist Vars do not get modified until the very end, it's possible to get rid of the klugy var_equal and match_varid partial-matching routines, and just use plain equal() throughout the optimizer. This is a step towards allowing merge and hash joins to be done on expressions instead of only Vars ...
* Major revision of sort-node handling: push knowledge of queryTom Lane1999-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | sort order down into planner, instead of handling it only at the very top level of the planner. This fixes many things. An explicit sort is now avoided if there is a cheaper alternative (typically an indexscan) not only for ORDER BY, but also for the internal sort of GROUP BY. It works even when there is no other reason (such as a WHERE condition) to consider the indexscan. It works for indexes on functions. It works for indexes on functions, backwards. It's just so cool... CAUTION: I have changed the representation of SortClause nodes, therefore THIS UPDATE BREAKS STORED RULES. You will need to initdb.
* Major planner/optimizer revision: get rid of PathOrder node type,Tom Lane1999-08-16
| | | | | | | | | 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.
* Add get_func_rettype() to general-use lsyscache routines,Tom Lane1999-08-16

* Clean up optimizer's handling of indexscan quals that need to beTom Lane1999-08-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | commuted (ie, the index var appears on the right). These are now handled the same way as merge and hash join quals that need to be commuted: the actual reversing of the clause only happens if we actually choose the path and generate a plan from it. Furthermore, the clause is only reversed in the 'indexqual' field of the plan, not in the 'indxqualorig' field. This allows the clause to still be recognized and removed from qpquals of upper level join plans. Also, simplify and generalize match_clause_to_indexkey; now it recognizes binary-compatible indexes for join as well as restriction clauses.

* Revise generation of hashjoin paths: generate one path perTom Lane1999-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | hashjoinable clause, not one path for a randomly-chosen element of each set of clauses with the same join operator. That is, if you wrote SELECT ... WHERE t1.f1 = t2.f2 and t1.f3 = t2.f4, and both '=' ops were the same opcode (say, all four fields are int4), then the system would either consider hashing on f1=f2 or on f3=f4, but it would *not* consider both possibilities. Boo hiss. Also, revise estimation of hashjoin costs to include a penalty when the inner join var has a high disbursion --- ie, the most common value is pretty common. This tends to lead to badly skewed hash bucket occupancy and way more comparisons than you'd expect on average. I imagine that the cost calculation still needs tweaking, but at least it generates a more reasonable plan than before on George Young's example.

* First step in fixing selectivity-estimation code. eqsel andTom Lane1999-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | neqsel now behave as per my suggestions in pghackers a few days ago. selectivity for < > <= >= should work OK for integral types as well, but still need work for nonintegral types. Since these routines have never actually executed before :-(, this may result in some significant changes in the optimizer's choices of execution plans. Let me know if you see any serious misbehavior. CAUTION: THESE CHANGES REQUIRE INITDB. pg_statistic table has changed.

* First cut at doing LIKE/regex indexing optimization inTom Lane1999-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | optimizer rather than parser. This has many advantages, such as not getting fooled by chance uses of operator names ~ and ~~ (the operators are identified by OID now), and not creating useless comparison operations in contexts where the comparisons will not actually be used as indexquals. The new code also recognizes exact-match LIKE and regex patterns, and produces an = indexqual instead of >= and <=. This change does NOT fix the problem with non-ASCII locales: the code still doesn't know how to generate an upper bound indexqual for non-ASCII collation order. But it's no worse than before, just the same deficiency in a different place... Also, dike out loc_restrictinfo fields in Plan nodes. These were doing nothing useful in the absence of 'expensive functions' optimization, and they took a considerable amount of processing to fill in.
* Further work on planning of indexscans. Cleaned up interfacesTom Lane1999-07-25
| | | | | to index_selectivity so that it can be handed an indexqual clause list rather than a bunch of assorted derivative data.
* Remove 'restrictinfojoinid' field from RestrictInfo nodes.Tom Lane1999-07-25
| | | | | | | The only place it was being used was as temporary storage in indxpath.c, and the logic was wrong: the same restrictinfo node could get chosen to carry the info for two different joins. Right fix is to return a second list of unjoined-relids parallel to the list of clause groups.
* Clean up messy clause-selectivity code in clausesel.c; repair bugTom Lane1999-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | identified by Hiroshi (incorrect cost attributed to OR clauses after multiple passes through set_rest_selec()). I think the code was trying to allow selectivities of OR subclauses to be passed in from outside, but noplace was actually passing any useful data, and set_rest_selec() was passing wrong data. Restructure representation of "indexqual" in IndexPath nodes so that it is the same as for indxqual in completed IndexScan nodes: namely, a toplevel list with an entry for each pass of the index scan, having sublists that are implicitly-ANDed index qual conditions for that pass. You don't want to know what the old representation was :-( Improve documentation of OR-clause indexscan functions. Remove useless 'notclause' field from RestrictInfo nodes. (This might force an initdb for anyone who has stored rules containing RestrictInfos, but I do not think that RestrictInfo ever appears in completed plans.)

* Rewrite parser's handling of INSERT ... SELECT so that processingTom Lane1999-07-19
| | | | | | | | | of the SELECT part of the statement is just like a plain SELECT. All INSERT-specific processing happens after the SELECT parsing is done. This eliminates many problems, e.g. INSERT ... SELECT ... GROUP BY using the wrong column labels. Ensure that DEFAULT clauses are coerced to the target column type, whether or not stored clause produces the right type. Substantial cleanup of parser's array support.
