2013-05-09Fix management of fn_extra caching during repeated GiST index scans.Tom Lane
Commit d22a09dc70f9830fa78c1cd1a3a453e4e473d354 introduced official support for GiST consistentFns that want to cache data using the FmgrInfo fn_extra pointer: the idea was to preserve the cached values across gistrescan(), whereas formerly they'd been leaked. However, there was an oversight in that, namely that multiple scan keys might reference the same column's consistentFn; the code would result in propagating the same cache value into multiple scan keys, resulting in crashes or wrong answers. Use a separate array instead to ensure that each scan key keeps its own state. Per bug #8143 from Joel Roller. Back-patch to 9.2 where the bug was introduced.

2011-09-30Support GiST index support functions that want to cache data across calls.Tom Lane
pg_trgm was already doing this unofficially, but the implementation hadn't been thought through very well and leaked memory. Restructure the core GiST code so that it actually works, and document it. Ordinarily this would have required an extra memory context creation/destruction for each GiST index search, but I was able to avoid that in the normal case of a non-rescanned search by finessing the handling of the RBTree. It used to have its own context always, but now shares a context with the scan-lifespan data structures, unless there is more than one rescan call. This should make the added overhead unnoticeable in typical cases.
2011-09-16gistendscan() forgot to free so->giststate.Tom Lane
This oversight led to a massive memory leak --- upwards of 10KB per tuple --- during creation-time verification of an exclusion constraint based on a GIST index. In most other scenarios it'd just be a leak of 10KB that would be recovered at end of query, so not too significant; though perhaps the leak would be noticeable in a situation where a GIST index was being used in a nestloop inner indexscan. In any case, it's a real leak of long standing, so patch all supported branches. Per report from Harald Fuchs.

2011-04-12Pass collations to functions in FunctionCallInfoData, not FmgrInfo.Tom Lane
Since collation is effectively an argument, not a property of the function, FmgrInfo is really the wrong place for it; and this becomes critical in cases where a cached FmgrInfo is used for varying purposes that might need different collation settings. Fix by passing it in FunctionCallInfoData instead. In particular this allows a clean fix for bug #5970 (record_cmp not working). This requires touching a bit more code than the original method, but nobody ever thought that collations would not be an invasive patch...

2010-12-03KNNGIST, otherwise known as order-by-operator support for GIST.Tom Lane
This commit represents a rather heavily editorialized version of Teodor's builtin_knngist_itself-0.8.2 and builtin_knngist_proc-0.8.1 patches. I redid the opclass API to add a separate Distance method instead of turning the Consistent method into an illogical mess, fixed some bit-rot in the rbtree interfaces, and generally worked over the code style and comments. There's still no non-code documentation to speak of, but I'll work on that separately. Some contrib-module changes are also yet to come (right now, point <-> point is the only KNN-ified operator). Teodor Sigaev and Tom Lane
2010-12-02Create core infrastructure for KNNGIST.Tom Lane
This is a heavily revised version of builtin_knngist_core-0.9. The ordering operators are no longer mixed in with actual quals, which would have confused not only humans but significant parts of the planner. Instead, ordering operators are carried separately throughout planning and execution. Since the API for ambeginscan and amrescan functions had to be changed anyway, this commit takes the opportunity to rationalize that a bit. RelationGetIndexScan no longer forces a premature index_rescan call; instead, callers of index_beginscan must call index_rescan too. Aside from making the AM-side initialization logic a bit less peculiar, this has the advantage that we do not make a useless extra am_rescan call when there are runtime key values. AMs formerly could not assume that the key values passed to amrescan were actually valid; now they can. Teodor Sigaev and Tom Lane

2010-01-01Support "x IS NOT NULL" clauses as indexscan conditions. This turns outTom Lane
to be just a minor extension of the previous patch that made "x IS NULL" indexable, because we can treat the IS NOT NULL condition as if it were "x < NULL" or "x > NULL" (depending on the index's NULLS FIRST/LAST option), just like IS NULL is treated like "x = NULL". Aside from any possible usefulness in its own right, this is an important improvement for index-optimized MAX/MIN aggregates: it is now reliably possible to get a column's min or max value cheaply, even when there are a lot of nulls cluttering the interesting end of the index.

2008-10-17During repeated rescan of GiST index it's possible that scan keyTeodor Sigaev
is NULL but SK_SEARCHNULL is not set. Add checking IS NULL of keys to set during key initialization. If key is NULL and SK_SEARCHNULL is not set then nothnig can be satisfied. With assert-enabled compilation that causes coredump. Bug was introduced in 8.3 by support of IS NULL index scan.
2008-08-23Fix possible duplicate tuples while GiST scan. Now page is processedTeodor Sigaev
at once and ItemPointers are collected in memory. Remove tuple's killing by killtuple() if tuple was moved to another page - it could produce unaceptable overhead. Backpatch up to 8.1 because the bug was introduced by GiST's concurrency support.
2008-06-19Improve our #include situation by moving pointer types away from theAlvaro Herrera
corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less unnecessary dependencies.
2008-05-12Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing someAlvaro Herrera
unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c files. For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created, initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage. While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more consistent with our header style.

2005-06-27Concurrency for GiSTTeodor Sigaev
- full concurrency for insert/update/select/vacuum: - select and vacuum never locks more than one page simultaneously - select (gettuple) hasn't any lock across it's calls - insert never locks more than two page simultaneously: - during search of leaf to insert it locks only one page simultaneously - while walk upward to the root it locked only parent (may be non-direct parent) and child. One of them X-lock, another may be S- or X-lock - 'vacuum full' locks index - improve gistgetmulti - simplify XLOG records Fix bug in index_beginscan_internal: LockRelation may clean rd_aminfo structure, so move GET_REL_PROCEDURE after LockRelation
2005-05-17Cleanup GiST header files. Since GiST extensions are often written asNeil Conway
external projects, we should be careful about what parts of the GiST API are considered implementation details, and which are part of the public API. Therefore, I've moved internal-only declarations into gist_private.h -- future backward-incompatible changes to gist.h should be made with care, to avoid needlessly breaking external GiST extensions. Also did some related header cleanup: remove some unnecessary #includes from gist.h, and remove some unused definitions: isAttByVal(), _gistdump(), and GISTNStrategies.
2005-05-17GiST improvements:Neil Conway
- make sure we always invoke user-supplied GiST methods in a short-lived memory context. This means the backend isn't exposed to any memory leaks that be in those methods (in fact, it is probably a net loss for most GiST methods to bother manually freeing memory now). This also means we can do away with a lot of ugly manual memory management in the GiST code itself. - keep the current page of a GiST index scan pinned, rather than doing a ReadBuffer() for each tuple produced by the scan. Since ReadBuffer() is expensive, this is a perf. win - implement dead tuple killing for GiST indexes (which is easy to do, now that we keep a pin on the current scan page). Now all the builtin indexes implement dead tuple killing. - cleanup a lot of ugly code in GiST

2004-07-17Invent ResourceOwner mechanism as per my recent proposal, and use it toTom Lane
keep track of portal-related resources separately from transaction-related resources. This allows cursors to work in a somewhat sane fashion with nested transactions. For now, cursor behavior is non-subtransactional, that is a cursor's state does not roll back if you abort a subtransaction that fetched from the cursor. We might want to change that later.
2004-07-01Nested transactions. There is still much left to do, especially on theTom Lane
performance front, but with feature freeze upon us I think it's time to drive a stake in the ground and say that this will be in 7.5. Alvaro Herrera, with some help from Tom Lane.
2004-01-07More janitorial work: remove the explicit casting of NULL literals to aNeil Conway
pointer type when it is not necessary to do so. For future reference, casting NULL to a pointer type is only necessary when (a) invoking a function AND either (b) the function has no prototype OR (c) the function is a varargs function.

2003-11-12Cross-data-type comparisons are now indexable by btrees, pursuant to myTom Lane
pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support. The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event; it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
2003-11-09Add operator strategy and comparison-value datatype fields to ScanKey.Tom Lane
Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the first place is simpler and faster. This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize() API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those changes before the tree drifts under me.
