2022-03-28Use has_privs_for_roles for predefined role checksJoe Conway
Generally if a role is granted membership to another role with NOINHERIT they must use SET ROLE to access the privileges of that role, however with predefined roles the membership and privilege is conflated. Fix that by replacing is_member_of_role with has_privs_for_role for predefined roles. Patch does not remove is_member_of_role from acl.h, but it does add a warning not to use that function for privilege checking. Not backpatched based on hackers list discussion.

2021-11-28Replace random(), pg_erand48(), etc with a better PRNG API and algorithm.Tom Lane
Standardize on xoroshiro128** as our basic PRNG algorithm, eliminating a bunch of platform dependencies as well as fundamentally-obsolete PRNG code. In addition, this API replacement will ease replacing the algorithm again in future, should that become necessary. xoroshiro128** is a few percent slower than the drand48 family, but it can produce full-width 64-bit random values not only 48-bit, and it should be much more trustworthy. It's likely to be noticeably faster than the platform's random(), depending on which platform you are thinking about; and we can have non-global state vectors easily, unlike with random(). It is not cryptographically strong, but neither are the functions it replaces.

2020-11-23Split copy.c into four files.Heikki Linnakangas
Copy.c has grown really large. Split it into more manageable parts: - copy.c now contains only a few functions that are common to COPY FROM and COPY TO. - copyto.c contains code for COPY TO. - copyfrom.c contains code for initializing COPY FROM, and inserting the tuples to the correct table. - copyfromparse.c contains code for reading from the client/file/program, and parsing the input text/CSV/binary format into tuples. All of these parts are fairly complicated, and fairly independent of each other. There is a patch being discussed to implement parallel COPY FROM, which will add a lot of new code to the COPY FROM path, and another patch which would allow INSERTs to use the same multi-insert machinery as COPY FROM, both of which will require refactoring that code. With those two patches, there's going to be a lot of code churn in copy.c anyway, so now seems like a good time to do this refactoring. The CopyStateData struct is also split. All the formatting options, like FORMAT, QUOTE, ESCAPE, are put in a new CopyFormatOption struct, which is used by both COPY FROM and TO. Other state data are kept in separate CopyFromStateData and CopyToStateData structs.

2020-08-30Redefine pg_class.reltuples to be -1 before the first VACUUM or ANALYZE.Tom Lane
Historically, we've considered the state with relpages and reltuples both zero as indicating that we do not know the table's tuple density. This is problematic because it's impossible to distinguish "never yet vacuumed" from "vacuumed and seen to be empty". In particular, a user cannot use VACUUM or ANALYZE to override the planner's normal heuristic that an empty table should not be believed to be empty because it is probably about to get populated. That heuristic is a good safety measure, so I don't care to abandon it, but there should be a way to override it if the table is indeed intended to stay empty. Hence, represent the initial state of ignorance by setting reltuples to -1 (relpages is still set to zero), and apply the minimum-ten-pages heuristic only when reltuples is still -1. If the table is empty, VACUUM or ANALYZE (but not CREATE INDEX) will override that to reltuples = relpages = 0, and then we'll plan on that basis. This requires a bunch of fiddly little changes, but we can get rid of some ugly kluges that were formerly needed to maintain the old definition. One notable point is that FDWs' GetForeignRelSize methods will see baserel->tuples = -1 when no ANALYZE has been done on the foreign table. That seems like a net improvement, since those methods were formerly also in the dark about what baserel->tuples = 0 really meant. Still, it is an API change. I bumped catversion because code predating this change would get confused by seeing reltuples = -1. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/F02298E0-6EF4-49A1-BCB6-C484794D9ACC@thebuild.com

2019-07-15Represent Lists as expansible arrays, not chains of cons-cells.Tom Lane
Originally, Postgres Lists were a more or less exact reimplementation of Lisp lists, which consist of chains of separately-allocated cons cells, each having a value and a next-cell link. We'd hacked that once before (commit d0b4399d8) to add a separate List header, but the data was still in cons cells. That makes some operations -- notably list_nth() -- O(N), and it's bulky because of the next-cell pointers and per-cell palloc overhead, and it's very cache-unfriendly if the cons cells end up scattered around rather than being adjacent. In this rewrite, we still have List headers, but the data is in a resizable array of values, with no next-cell links. Now we need at most two palloc's per List, and often only one, since we can allocate some values in the same palloc call as the List header. (Of course, extending an existing List may require repalloc's to enlarge the array. But this involves just O(log N) allocations not O(N).) Of course this is not without downsides. The key difficulty is that addition or deletion of a list entry may now cause other entries to move, which it did not before. For example, that breaks foreach() and sister macros, which historically used a pointer to the current cons-cell as loop state. We can repair those macros transparently by making their actual loop state be an integer list index; the exposed "ListCell *" pointer is no longer state carried across loop iterations, but is just a derived value. (In practice, modern compilers can optimize things back to having just one loop state value, at least for simple cases with inline loop bodies.) In principle, this is a semantics change for cases where the loop body inserts or deletes list entries ahead of the current loop index; but I found no such cases in the Postgres code. The change is not at all transparent for code that doesn't use foreach() but chases lists "by hand" using lnext(). The largest share of such code in the backend is in loops that were maintaining "prev" and "next" variables in addition to the current-cell pointer, in order to delete list cells efficiently using list_delete_cell(). However, we no longer need a previous-cell pointer to delete a list cell efficiently. Keeping a next-cell pointer doesn't work, as explained above, but we can improve matters by changing such code to use a regular foreach() loop and then using the new macro foreach_delete_current() to delete the current cell. (This macro knows how to update the associated foreach loop's state so that no cells will be missed in the traversal.) There remains a nontrivial risk of code assuming that a ListCell * pointer will remain good over an operation that could now move the list contents. To help catch such errors, list.c can be compiled with a new define symbol DEBUG_LIST_MEMORY_USAGE that forcibly moves list contents whenever that could possibly happen. This makes list operations significantly more expensive so it's not normally turned on (though it is on by default if USE_VALGRIND is on). There are two notable API differences from the previous code: * lnext() now requires the List's header pointer in addition to the current cell's address. * list_delete_cell() no longer requires a previous-cell argument. These changes are somewhat unfortunate, but on the other hand code using either function needs inspection to see if it is assuming anything it shouldn't, so it's not all bad. Programmers should be aware of these significant performance changes: * list_nth() and related functions are now O(1); so there's no major access-speed difference between a list and an array. * Inserting or deleting a list element now takes time proportional to the distance to the end of the list, due to moving the array elements. (However, it typically *doesn't* require palloc or pfree, so except in long lists it's probably still faster than before.) Notably, lcons() used to be about the same cost as lappend(), but that's no longer true if the list is long. Code that uses lcons() and list_delete_first() to maintain a stack might usefully be rewritten to push and pop at the end of the list rather than the beginning. * There are now list_insert_nth...() and list_delete_nth...() functions that add or remove a list cell identified by index. These have the data-movement penalty explained above, but there's no search penalty. * list_concat() and variants now copy the second list's data into storage belonging to the first list, so there is no longer any sharing of cells between the input lists. The second argument is now declared "const List *" to reflect that it isn't changed. This patch just does the minimum needed to get the new implementation in place and fix bugs exposed by the regression tests. As suggested by the foregoing, there's a fair amount of followup work remaining to do. Also, the ENABLE_LIST_COMPAT macros are finally removed in this commit. Code using those should have been gone a dozen years ago. Patch by me; thanks to David Rowley, Jesper Pedersen, and others for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/11587.1550975080@sss.pgh.pa.us

2019-02-07Split create_foreignscan_path() into three functions.Tom Lane
Up to now postgres_fdw has been using create_foreignscan_path() to generate not only base-relation paths, but also paths for foreign joins and foreign upperrels. This is wrong, because create_foreignscan_path() calls get_baserel_parampathinfo() which will only do the right thing for baserels. It accidentally fails to fail for unparameterized paths, which are the only ones postgres_fdw (thought it) was handling, but we really need different APIs for the baserel and join cases. In HEAD, the best thing to do seems to be to split up the baserel, joinrel, and upperrel cases into three functions so that they can have different APIs. I haven't actually given create_foreign_join_path a different API in this commit: we should spend a bit of time thinking about just what we want to do there, since perhaps FDWs would want to do something different from the build-up-a-join-pairwise approach that get_joinrel_parampathinfo expects. In the meantime, since postgres_fdw isn't prepared to generate parameterized joins anyway, just give it a defense against trying to plan joins with lateral refs. In addition (and this is what triggered this whole mess) fix bug #15613 from Srinivasan S A, by teaching file_fdw and postgres_fdw that plain baserel foreign paths still have outer refs if the relation has lateral_relids. Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future occurrences of the same error --- in particular, to catch other FDWs doing that, but also as backstop against core-code mistakes like the one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa. Bug #15613 also needs to be fixed in the back branches, but the appropriate fix will look quite a bit different there, since we don't want to assume that existing FDWs get the word right away.

2019-01-29Refactor planner's header files.Tom Lane
Create a new header optimizer/optimizer.h, which exposes just the planner functions that can be used "at arm's length", without need to access Paths or the other planner-internal data structures defined in nodes/relation.h. This is intended to provide the whole planner API seen by most of the rest of the system; although FDWs still need to use additional stuff, and more thought is also needed about just what selfuncs.c should rely on. The main point of doing this now is to limit the amount of new #include baggage that will be needed by "planner support functions", which I expect to introduce later, and which will be in relevant datatype modules rather than anywhere near the planner. This commit just moves relevant declarations into optimizer.h from other header files (a couple of which go away because everything got moved), and adjusts #include lists to match. There's further cleanup that could be done if we want to decide that some stuff being exposed by optimizer.h doesn't belong in the planner at all, but I'll leave that for another day.

2019-01-14Don't include heapam.h from others headers.Andres Freund
heapam.h previously was included in a number of widely used headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in executor.h, ...). That's problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of low-level details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage - it seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely afterwards. heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState. Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to lockoptions.h - that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem bad. As a number of files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a significant number of files grew an explicit include. It's quite probably that a few external projects will need to do the same.

2018-11-20Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility.Andres Freund
Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

2018-04-06Add default roles for file/program accessStephen Frost
This patch adds new default roles named 'pg_read_server_files', 'pg_write_server_files', 'pg_execute_server_program' which allow an administrator to GRANT to a non-superuser role the ability to access server-side files or run programs through PostgreSQL (as the user the database is running as). Having one of these roles allows a non-superuser to use server-side COPY to read, write, or with a program, and to use file_fdw (if installed by a superuser and GRANT'd USAGE on it) to read from files or run a program. The existing misc file functions are also changed to allow a user with the 'pg_read_server_files' default role to read any files on the filesystem, matching the privileges given to that role through COPY and file_fdw from above.

2017-06-21Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
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.

2017-06-21Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. 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.

2016-09-29Allow contrib/file_fdw to read from a program, like COPY FROM PROGRAM.Tom Lane
This patch just exposes COPY's FROM PROGRAM option in contrib/file_fdw. There don't seem to be any security issues with that that are any worse than what already exist with file_fdw and COPY; as in the existing cases, only superusers are allowed to control what gets executed. A regression test case might be nice here, but choosing a 100% portable command to run is hard. (We haven't got a test for COPY FROM PROGRAM itself, either.)

2016-09-06Add location field to DefElemPeter Eisentraut
Add a location field to the DefElem struct, used to parse many utility commands. Update various error messages to supply error position information. To propogate the error position information in a more systematic way, create a ParseState in standard_ProcessUtility() and pass that to interested functions implementing the utility commands. This seems better than passing the query string and then reassembling a parse state ad hoc, which violates the encapsulation of the ParseState type.

2016-08-27Add macros to make AllocSetContextCreate() calls simpler and safer.Tom Lane
I found that half a dozen (nearly 5%) of our AllocSetContextCreate calls had typos in the context-sizing parameters. While none of these led to especially significant problems, they did create minor inefficiencies, and it's now clear that expecting people to copy-and-paste those calls accurately is not a great idea. Let's reduce the risk of future errors by introducing single macros that encapsulate the common use-cases. Three such macros are enough to cover all but two special-purpose contexts; those two calls can be left as-is, I think. While this patch doesn't in itself improve matters for third-party extensions, it doesn't break anything for them either, and they can gradually adopt the simplified notation over time. In passing, change TopMemoryContext to use the default allocation parameters. Formerly it could only be extended 8K at a time. That was probably reasonable when this code was written; but nowadays we create many more contexts than we did then, so that it's not unusual to have a couple hundred K in TopMemoryContext, even without considering various dubious code that sticks other things there. There seems no good reason not to let it use growing blocks like most other contexts. Back-patch to 9.6, mostly because that's still close enough to HEAD that it's easy to do so, and keeping the branches in sync can be expected to avoid some future back-patching pain. The bugs fixed by these changes don't seem to be significant enough to justify fixing them further back. Discussion: <21072.1472321324@sss.pgh.pa.us>

2016-03-14Allow callers of create_foreignscan_path to specify nondefault PathTarget.Tom Lane
Although the default choice of rel->reltarget should typically be sufficient for scan or join paths, it's not at all sufficient for the purposes PathTargets were invented for; in particular not for upper-relation Paths. So break API compatibility by adding a PathTarget argument to create_foreignscan_path(). To ease updating of existing code, accept a NULL value of the argument as selecting rel->reltarget.
2016-03-14Rethink representation of PathTargets.Tom Lane
In commit 19a541143a09c067 I did not make PathTarget a subtype of Node, and embedded a RelOptInfo's reltarget directly into it rather than having a separately-allocated Node. In hindsight that was misguided micro-optimization, enabled by the fact that at that point we didn't have any Paths with custom PathTargets. Now that PathTarget processing has been fleshed out some more, it's easier to see that it's better to have PathTarget as an indepedent Node type, even if it does cost us one more palloc to create a RelOptInfo. So change it while we still can. This commit just changes the representation, without doing anything more interesting than that.
2016-02-26Add new FDW API to test for parallel-safety.Robert Haas
This is basically a bug fix; the old code assumes that a ForeignScan is always parallel-safe, but for postgres_fdw, for example, this is definitely false. It should be true for file_fdw, though, since a worker can read a file from the filesystem just as well as any other backend process. Original patch by Thomas Munro. Documentation, and changes to the comments, by me.
2016-02-18Add an explicit representation of the output targetlist to Paths.Tom Lane
Up to now, there's been an assumption that all Paths for a given relation compute the same output column set (targetlist). However, there are good reasons to remove that assumption. For example, an indexscan on an expression index might be able to return the value of an expensive function "for free". While we have the ability to generate such a plan today in simple cases, we don't have a way to model that it's cheaper than a plan that computes the function from scratch, nor a way to create such a plan in join cases (where the function computation would normally happen at the topmost join node). Also, we need this so that we can have Paths representing post-scan/join steps, where the targetlist may well change from one step to the next. Therefore, invent a "struct PathTarget" representing the columns we expect a plan step to emit. It's convenient to include the output tuple width and tlist evaluation cost in this struct, and there will likely be additional fields in future. While Path nodes that actually do have custom outputs will need their own PathTargets, it will still be true that most Paths for a given relation will compute the same tlist. To reduce the overhead added by this patch, keep a "default PathTarget" in RelOptInfo, and allow Paths that compute that column set to just point to their parent RelOptInfo's reltarget. (In the patch as committed, actually every Path is like that, since we do not yet have any cases of custom PathTargets.) I took this opportunity to provide some more-honest costing of PlaceHolderVar evaluation. Up to now, the assumption that "scan/join reltargetlists have cost zero" was applied not only to Vars, where it's reasonable, but also PlaceHolderVars where it isn't. Now, we add the eval cost of a PlaceHolderVar's expression to the first plan level where it can be computed, by including it in the PathTarget cost field and adding that to the cost estimates for Paths. This isn't perfect yet but it's much better than before, and there is a way forward to improve it more. This costing change affects the join order chosen for a couple of the regression tests, changing expected row ordering.

2015-12-08Allow foreign and custom joins to handle EvalPlanQual rechecks.Robert Haas
Commit e7cb7ee14555cc9c5773e2c102efd6371f6f2005 provided basic infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan. However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted for a plan containing a pushed-down join. To fix, adjust the EPQ machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant slot. To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan method. Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).

2015-10-15Allow FDWs to push down quals without breaking EvalPlanQual rechecks.Robert Haas
This fixes a long-standing bug which was discovered while investigating the interaction between the new join pushdown code and the EvalPlanQual machinery: if a ForeignScan appears on the inner side of a paramaterized nestloop, an EPQ recheck would re-return the original tuple even if it no longer satisfied the pushed-down quals due to changed parameter values. This fix adds a new member to ForeignScan and ForeignScanState and a new argument to make_foreignscan, and requires changes to FDWs which push down quals to populate that new argument with a list of quals they have chosen to push down. Therefore, I'm only back-patching to 9.5, even though the bug is not new in 9.5. Etsuro Fujita, reviewed by me and by Kyotaro Horiguchi.

2015-05-10Code review for foreign/custom join pushdown patch.Tom Lane
Commit e7cb7ee14555cc9c5773e2c102efd6371f6f2005 included some design decisions that seem pretty questionable to me, and there was quite a lot of stuff not to like about the documentation and comments. Clean up as follows: * Consider foreign joins only between foreign tables on the same server, rather than between any two foreign tables with the same underlying FDW handler function. In most if not all cases, the FDW would simply have had to apply the same-server restriction itself (far more expensively, both for lack of caching and because it would be repeated for each combination of input sub-joins), or else risk nasty bugs. Anyone who's really intent on doing something outside this restriction can always use the set_join_pathlist_hook. * Rename fdw_ps_tlist/custom_ps_tlist to fdw_scan_tlist/custom_scan_tlist to better reflect what they're for, and allow these custom scan tlists to be used even for base relations. * Change make_foreignscan() API to include passing the fdw_scan_tlist value, since the FDW is required to set that. Backwards compatibility doesn't seem like an adequate reason to expect FDWs to set it in some ad-hoc extra step, and anyway existing FDWs can just pass NIL. * Change the API of path-generating subroutines of add_paths_to_joinrel, and in particular that of GetForeignJoinPaths and set_join_pathlist_hook, so that various less-used parameters are passed in a struct rather than as separate parameter-list entries. The objective here is to reduce the probability that future additions to those parameter lists will result in source-level API breaks for users of these hooks. It's possible that this is even a small win for the core code, since most CPU architectures can't pass more than half a dozen parameters efficiently anyway. I kept root, joinrel, outerrel, innerrel, and jointype as separate parameters to reduce code churn in joinpath.c --- in particular, putting jointype into the struct would have been problematic because of the subroutines' habit of changing their local copies of that variable. * Avoid ad-hocery in ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo. It was probably all right for it to know about IndexOnlyScan, but if the list is to grow we should refactor the knowledge out to the callers. * Restore nodeForeignscan.c's previous use of the relcache to avoid extra GetFdwRoutine lookups for base-relation scans. * Lots of cleanup of documentation and missed comments. Re-order some code additions into more logical places.
