a more complete framework for writing custom option processing routines
by user-defined access methods.
Catalog version bumped due to the general API changes, which are going to
affect user-defined "amoptions" routines.

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.

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.

corrupted. (Neither is very important if SIGTERM is used to shut down the
whole database cluster together, but there's a problem if someone tries to
SIGTERM individual backends.) To do this, introduce new infrastructure
macros PG_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP/PG_END_ENSURE_ERROR_CLEANUP that take care
of transiently pushing an on_shmem_exit cleanup hook. Also use this method
for createdb cleanup --- that wasn't a shared-memory-corruption problem,
but SIGTERM abort of createdb could leave orphaned files lying around.
Backpatch as far as 8.2. The shmem corruption cases don't exist in 8.1,
and the createdb usage doesn't seem important enough to risk backpatching
further.

than two independent bits (one of which was never used in heap pages anyway,
or at least hadn't been in a very long time). This gives us flexibility to
add the HOT notions of redirected and dead item pointers without requiring
anything so klugy as magic values of lp_off and lp_len. The state values
are chosen so that for the states currently in use (pre-HOT) there is no
change in the physical representation.

index types can be reliably distinguished by examining the special space
on an index page. Per my earlier proposal, plus the realization that
there's no need for btree's vacuum cycle ID to cycle through every possible
16-bit value. Restricting its range a little costs nearly nothing and
eliminates the possibility of collisions.
Memo to self: remember to make bitmap indexes play along with this scheme,
assuming that patch ever gets accepted.

will be released by transaction abort before _bt_end_vacuum gets called.
If either of these "can't happen" errors actually happened, we'd freeze up
trying to acquire an already-held lock. Latest word is that this does
not explain Martin Pitt's trouble report, but it still looks like a bug.

per-column options for btree indexes. The planner's support for this is still
pretty rudimentary; it does not yet know how to plan mergejoins with
nondefault ordering options. The documentation is pretty rudimentary, too.
I'll work on improving that stuff later.
Note incompatible change from prior behavior: ORDER BY ... USING will now be
rejected if the operator is not a less-than or greater-than member of some
btree opclass. This prevents less-than-sane behavior if an operator that
doesn't actually define a proper sort ordering is selected.

back-stamped for this.

or contradictory keys even in cross-data-type scenarios. This is another
benefit of the opfamily rewrite: we can find the needed comparison
operators now.

When we are about to split an index page to do an insertion, first look
to see if any entries marked LP_DELETE exist on the page, and if so remove
them to try to make enough space for the desired insert. This should reduce
index bloat in heavily-updated tables, although of course you still need
VACUUM eventually to clean up the heap.

Strip unused include files out unused include files, and add needed
includes to C files.
The next step is to remove unused include files in C files.

discussion (including making def_arg allow reserved words), add missed
opt_definition for UNIQUE case. Put the reloptions support code in a less
random place (I chose to make a new file access/common/reloptions.c).
Eliminate header inclusion creep. Make the index options functions safely
user-callable (seems like client apps might like to be able to test validity
of options before trying to make an index). Reduce overhead for normal case
with no options by allowing rd_options to be NULL. Fix some unmaintainably
klugy code, including getting rid of Natts_pg_class_fixed at long last.
Some stylistic cleanup too, and pay attention to keeping comments in sync
with code.
Documentation still needs work, though I did fix the omissions in
catalogs.sgml and indexam.sgml.

into a single mostly-physical-order scan of the index. This requires some
ticklish interlocking considerations, but should create no material
performance impact on normal index operations (at least given the
already-committed changes to make scans work a page at a time). VACUUM
itself should get significantly faster in any index that's degenerated to a
very nonlinear page order. Also, we save one pass over the index entirely,
except in the case where there were no deletions to do and so only one pass
happened anyway.

btgettuple and btgetmulti). This eliminates the problem of "re-finding" the
exact stopping point, since the stopping point is effectively always a page
boundary, and index items are never moved across pre-existing page boundaries.
A small penalty is that the keys_are_unique optimization is effectively
disabled (and, therefore, is removed in this patch), causing us to apply
_bt_checkkeys() to at least one more tuple than necessary when looking up a
unique key. However, the advantages for non-unique cases seem great enough to
accept this tradeoff. Aside from simplifying and (sometimes) speeding up the
indexscan code, this will allow us to reimplement btbulkdelete as a largely
sequential scan instead of index-order traversal, thereby significantly
reducing the cost of VACUUM. Those changes will come in a separate patch.

just refer to btree index entries as plain IndexTuples, which is what
they have been for a very long time. This is mostly just an exercise
in removing extraneous notation, but it does save a palloc/pfree cycle
per index insertion.

This completes the project to upgrade our handling of row comparisons.

and non-required keys in a btree index scan, mark the required scankeys
with private flag bits SK_BT_REQFWD and/or SK_BT_REQBKWD. This seems
at least marginally clearer to me, and it eliminates a wired-into-the-
data-structure assumption that required keys are consecutive. Even though
that assumption will remain true for the foreseeable future, having it
in there makes the code seem more complex than necessary.
|
|
are two basically different kinds of scankeys, and we ought to try harder
to indicate which is used in each place in the code. I've chosen the names
"search scankey" and "insertion scankey", though you could make about
as good an argument for "operator scankey" and "comparison function
scankey".

_bt_checkkeys(), instead of checking it in the top-level nbtree.c routines
as formerly. This saves a little bit of loop overhead, but more importantly
it lets us skip performing the index key comparisons for dead tuples.

comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.

nonconsecutive columns of a multicolumn index, as per discussion around
mid-May (pghackers thread "Best way to scan on-disk bitmaps"). This
turns out to require only minimal changes in btree, and so far as I can
see none at all in GiST. btcostestimate did need some work, but its
original assumption that index selectivity == heap selectivity was
quite bogus even before this.

Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...

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.

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.

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.

transaction, so as to avoid returning them out of the index AM. Saves
repeated heap_fetch operations on frequently-updated rows. Also detect
queries on unique keys (equality to all columns of a unique index), and
don't bother continuing scan once we have found first match.
Killing is implemented in the btree and hash AMs, but not yet in rtree
or gist, because there isn't an equally convenient place to do it in
those AMs (the outer amgetnext routine can't do it without re-pinning
the index page).
Did some small cleanup on APIs of HeapTupleSatisfies, heap_fetch, and
index_insert to make this a little easier.

yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters
to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the
new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not
force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.

tests pass.

lookup info in the relcache for index access method support functions.
This makes a huge difference for dynamically loaded support functions,
and should save a few cycles even for built-in ones. Also tweak dfmgr.c
so that load_external_function is called only once, not twice, when
doing fmgr_info for a dynamically loaded function. All per performance
