2003-05-28Knock down a couple more lappend() hotspots for large WHERE clauses.Tom Lane
2003-05-08Update 3.0 protocol support to match recent agreements about how toTom Lane
handle multiple 'formats' for data I/O. Restructure CommandDest and DestReceiver stuff one more time (it's finally starting to look a bit clean though). Code now matches latest 3.0 protocol document as far as message formats go --- but there is no support for binary I/O yet.
2003-05-06Restructure command destination handling so that we pass aroundTom Lane
DestReceiver pointers instead of just CommandDest values. The DestReceiver is made at the point where the destination is selected, rather than deep inside the executor. This cleans up the original kluge implementation of tstoreReceiver.c, and makes it easy to support retrieving results from utility statements inside portals. Thus, you can now do fun things like Bind and Execute a FETCH or EXPLAIN command, and it'll all work as expected (e.g., you can Describe the portal, or use Execute's count parameter to suspend the output partway through). Implementation involves stuffing the utility command's output into a Tuplestore, which would be kind of annoying for huge output sets, but should be quite acceptable for typical uses of utility commands.
2003-05-06Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifiesTom Lane
the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms. Turns out that representation was not convenient for either the planner or the executor; we can make the planner deliver exactly what the executor wants with no more effort. initdb forced due to change in stored rule representation.
2003-04-24Infrastructure for upgraded error reporting mechanism. elog.c isTom Lane
rewritten and the protocol is changed, but most elog calls are still elog calls. Also, we need to contemplate mechanisms for controlling all this functionality --- eg, how much stuff should appear in the postmaster log? And what API should libpq expose for it?
2003-04-03Prevent EXPLAIN (without ANALYZE) SELECT ... INTO from creating an INTOTom Lane
table. Needed due to recent change that makes us call ExecutorStart even when not planning to carry out the query.
2003-03-10Restructure parsetree representation of DECLARE CURSOR: now it's aTom Lane
utility statement (DeclareCursorStmt) with a SELECT query dangling from it, rather than a SELECT query with a few unusual fields in it. Add code to determine whether a planned query can safely be run backwards. If DECLARE CURSOR specifies SCROLL, ensure that the plan can be run backwards by adding a Materialize plan node if it can't. Without SCROLL, you get an error if you try to fetch backwards from a cursor that can't handle it. (There is still some discussion about what the exact behavior should be, but this is necessary infrastructure in any case.) Along the way, make EXPLAIN DECLARE CURSOR work.
2003-02-10Add code to show join rule (for outer and IN joins) in join type name.Tom Lane
2003-02-09Create a distinction between Lists of integers and Lists of OIDs, to getTom Lane
rid of the assumption that sizeof(Oid)==sizeof(int). This is one small step towards someday supporting 8-byte OIDs. For the moment, it doesn't do much except get rid of a lot of unsightly casts.
2003-02-08Replace planner's representation of relation sets, per pghackers discussion.Tom Lane
Instead of Lists of integers, we now store variable-length bitmap sets. This should be faster as well as less error-prone.
2003-02-02Implement EXPLAIN EXECUTE. By Neil Conway, with some kibitzing fromTom Lane
Tom Lane.
2002-12-15Revise executor APIs so that all per-query state structure is built inTom Lane
a per-query memory context created by CreateExecutorState --- and destroyed by FreeExecutorState. This provides a final solution to the longstanding problem of memory leaked by various ExecEndNode calls.
2002-12-14Clean up plantree representation of SubPlan-s --- SubLink does not appearTom Lane
in the planned representation of a subplan at all any more, only SubPlan. This means subselect.c doesn't scribble on its input anymore, which seems like a good thing; and there are no longer three different possible interpretations of a SubLink. Simplify node naming and improve comments in primnodes.h. No change to stored rules, though.
2002-12-13Phase 3 of read-only-plans project: ExecInitExpr now builds expressionTom Lane
execution state trees, and ExecEvalExpr takes an expression state tree not an expression plan tree. The plan tree is now read-only as far as the executor is concerned. Next step is to begin actually exploiting this property.
2002-12-12Phase 2 of read-only-plans project: restructure expression-tree nodesTom Lane
so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least a little space and speed improvement. initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.
2002-12-06Explain's code for showing quals of SubqueryScan nodes has been brokenTom Lane
all along; not noticed till now. It's a scan not an upper qual ...
2002-12-05Phase 1 of read-only-plans project: cause executor state nodes to pointTom Lane
to plan nodes, not vice-versa. All executor state nodes now inherit from struct PlanState. Copying of plan trees has been simplified by not storing a list of SubPlans in Plan nodes (eliminating duplicate links). The executor still needs such a list, but it can build it during ExecutorStart since it has to scan the plan tree anyway. No initdb forced since no stored-on-disk structures changed, but you will need a full recompile because of node-numbering changes.
2002-11-13Add new palloc0 call as merge of palloc and MemSet(0).Bruce Momjian
2002-11-11Back out use of palloc0 in place if palloc/MemSet. Seems constant lenBruce Momjian
to MemSet is a performance boost.
2002-11-10Merge palloc()/MemSet(0) calls into a single palloc0() call.Bruce Momjian
2002-11-06First phase of implementing hash-based grouping/aggregation. An AGG planTom Lane
node now does its own grouping of the input rows, and has no need for a preceding GROUP node in the plan pipeline. This allows elimination of the misnamed tuplePerGroup option for GROUP, and actually saves more code in nodeGroup.c than it costs in nodeAgg.c, as well as being presumably faster. Restructure the API of query_planner so that we do not commit to using a sorted or unsorted plan in query_planner; instead grouping_planner makes the decision. (Right now it isn't any smarter than query_planner was, but that will change as soon as it has the option to select a hash- based aggregation step.) Despite all the hackery, no initdb needed since only in-memory node types changed.
2002-10-14As Niel so nicely pointed out this morning, the output of EXPLAINBruce Momjian
ANALYZE is not quite clear when branches of the query are never executed. So this tiny patch fixes that. The patch is attached and can also be found at: http://svana.org/kleptog/pgsql/pgsql-explain.patch Martijn van Oosterhout
2002-09-19Department of second thoughts: suppressing implicit casts everywhere inTom Lane
ruleutils display is not such a great idea. For arguments of functions and operators I think we'd better keep the historical behavior of showing such casts explicitly, to ensure that the function/operator is reparsed the same way when the rule is reloaded. This also makes the output of EXPLAIN less obscurantist about exactly what's happening.
2002-09-04pgindent run.Bruce Momjian
2002-09-02Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headersTom Lane
(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
2002-08-29Code review for standalone composite types, query-specified compositeTom Lane
types, SRFs. Not happy with memory management yet, but I'll commit these other changes.
2002-07-20Code review for SHOW output changes; fix horology expected files forTom Lane
new SHOW output format.
2002-07-20Fix problems caused by code drift of API for without-oids.Bruce Momjian
2002-07-20> 2. This patch includes the same Table Function API fixes that IBruce Momjian
> submitted on July 9: > > http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2002-07/msg00056.php > > Please disregard that one *if* this one is applied. If this one is > rejected please go ahead with the July 9th patch. The July 9th Table Function API patch mentioned above is now in CVS, so here is an updated version of the guc patch which should apply cleanly against CVS tip. Joe Conway
2002-07-20oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian
bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar
2002-06-20Update copyright to 2002.Bruce Momjian
2002-06-13Further tweaks to support display of sort keys in EXPLAIN --- initialTom Lane
implementation didn't work for Sort nodes associated with Append plans.
2002-05-18Add display of sort keys to the default EXPLAIN output.Tom Lane
2002-05-12First pass at set-returning-functions in FROM, by Joe Conway withTom Lane
some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
2002-05-03Use quote_identifier on relation names in EXPLAIN output, per suggestionTom Lane
from Liam Stewart. Minor code cleanups also.
2002-03-24Tweak labeling of plan qual conditions for more consistency.Tom Lane
2002-03-24EXPLAIN output now comes out as a query result, not a NOTICE message.Tom Lane
Also, fix debug logging of parse/plan trees so that the messages actually go through elog(), not directly to stdout.
2002-03-22A little further progress on schemas: push down RangeVars intoTom Lane
addRangeTableEntry calls. Remove relname field from RTEs, since it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations; we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead. Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
2002-03-21First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar andTom Lane
the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command. No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
2002-03-12Restructure representation of join alias variables. An explicit JOINTom Lane
now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do. Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end of planning, rather than during parsing. Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work. initdb forced due to change of stored-rule representation.
2002-03-06Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.
2002-03-02Commit to match discussed elog() changes. Only update is that LOG isBruce Momjian
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REALLYFATAL => PANIC STOP => PANIC New INFO level the prints to client by default New LOG level the prints to server log by default Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values: DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG Remove debug_level GUC parameter elog() numbers now start at 10 Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog() Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
2002-02-26Restructure command-completion-report code so that there is just oneTom Lane
report for each received SQL command, regardless of rewriting activity. Also ensure that this report comes from the 'original' command, not the last command generated by rewrite; this fixes 7.2 breakage for INSERT commands that have actions added by rules. Fernando Nasser and Tom Lane.

tests pass.
2001-09-18EXPLAIN ANALYZE feature to measure and show actual runtimes and tupleTom Lane
counts alongside the planner's estimates. By Martijn van Oosterhout, with some further work by Tom Lane.
2001-03-22pgindent run. Make it all clean.Bruce Momjian
2001-01-27Suppress coredump when EXPLAINing query that is rewritten to includeTom Lane
a NOTIFY.
2001-01-24Change Copyright from PostgreSQL, Inc to PostgreSQL Global Development Group.Bruce Momjian
2000-11-12Restructure handling of inheritance queries so that they work with outerTom Lane
joins, and clean things up a good deal at the same time. Append plan node no longer hacks on rangetable at runtime --- instead, all child tables are given their own RT entries during planning. Concept of multiple target tables pushed up into execMain, replacing bug-prone implementation within nodeAppend. Planner now supports generating Append plans for inheritance sets either at the top of the plan (the old way) or at the bottom. Expanding at the bottom is appropriate for tables used as sources, since they may appear inside an outer join; but we must still expand at the top when the target of an UPDATE or DELETE is an inheritance set, because we actually need a different targetlist and junkfilter for each target table in that case. Fortunately a target table can't be inside an outer join... Bizarre mutual recursion between union_planner and prepunion.c is gone --- in fact, union_planner doesn't really have much to do with union queries anymore, so I renamed it grouping_planner.
2000-10-26Re-implement LIMIT/OFFSET as a plan node type, instead of a hack inTom Lane
ExecutorRun. This allows LIMIT to work in a view. Also, LIMIT in a cursor declaration will behave in a reasonable fashion, whereas before it was overridden by the FETCH count.
