/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * planagg.c * Special planning for aggregate queries. * * This module tries to replace MIN/MAX aggregate functions by subqueries * of the form * (SELECT col FROM tab * WHERE col IS NOT NULL AND existing-quals * ORDER BY col ASC/DESC * LIMIT 1) * Given a suitable index on tab.col, this can be much faster than the * generic scan-all-the-rows aggregation plan. We can handle multiple * MIN/MAX aggregates by generating multiple subqueries, and their * orderings can be different. However, if the query contains any * non-optimizable aggregates, there's no point since we'll have to * scan all the rows anyway. * * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2011, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * * IDENTIFICATION * src/backend/optimizer/plan/planagg.c * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #include "postgres.h" #include "catalog/pg_aggregate.h" #include "catalog/pg_type.h" #include "nodes/makefuncs.h" #include "nodes/nodeFuncs.h" #include "optimizer/clauses.h" #include "optimizer/cost.h" #include "optimizer/paths.h" #include "optimizer/planmain.h" #include "optimizer/subselect.h" #include "parser/parsetree.h" #include "parser/parse_clause.h" #include "utils/lsyscache.h" #include "utils/syscache.h" static bool find_minmax_aggs_walker(Node *node, List **context); static bool build_minmax_path(PlannerInfo *root, MinMaxAggInfo *mminfo, Oid eqop, Oid sortop, bool nulls_first); static void make_agg_subplan(PlannerInfo *root, MinMaxAggInfo *mminfo); static Node *replace_aggs_with_params_mutator(Node *node, PlannerInfo *root); static Oid fetch_agg_sort_op(Oid aggfnoid); /* * preprocess_minmax_aggregates - preprocess MIN/MAX aggregates * * Check to see whether the query contains MIN/MAX aggregate functions that * might be optimizable via indexscans.
