2024-10-17Don't store intermediate hash values in ExprState->resvalueDavid Rowley
adf97c156 made it so ExprStates could support hashing and changed Hash Join to use that instead of manually extracting Datums from tuples and hashing them one column at a time. When hashing multiple columns or expressions, the code added in that commit stored the intermediate hash value in the ExprState's resvalue field. That was a mistake as steps may be injected into the ExprState between each hashing step that look at or overwrite the stored intermediate hash value. EEOP_PARAM_SET is an example of such a step. Here we fix this by adding a new dedicated field for storing intermediate hash values and adjust the code so that all apart from the final hashing step store their result in the intermediate field. In passing, rename a variable so that it's more aligned to the surrounding code and also so a few lines stay within the 80 char margin.

2024-09-09SQL/JSON: Avoid initializing unnecessary ON ERROR / ON EMPTY stepsAmit Langote
When the ON ERROR / ON EMPTY behavior is to return NULL, returning NULL directly from ExecEvalJsonExprPath() suffices. Therefore, there's no need to create separate steps to check the error/empty flag or those to evaluate the the constant NULL expression. This speeds up common cases because the default ON ERROR / ON EMPTY behavior for JSON_QUERY() and JSON_VALUE() is to return NULL. However, these steps are necessary if the RETURNING type is a domain, as constraints on the domain may need to be checked.

2024-08-20Speed up Hash Join by making ExprStates support hashingDavid Rowley
Here we add ExprState support for obtaining a 32-bit hash value from a list of expressions. This allows both faster hashing and also JIT compilation of these expressions. This is especially useful when hash joins have multiple join keys as the previous code called ExecEvalExpr on each hash join key individually and that was inefficient as tuple deformation would have only taken into account one key at a time, which could lead to walking the tuple once for each join key. With the new code, we'll determine the maximum attribute required and deform the tuple to that point only once. Some performance tests done with this change have shown up to a 20% performance increase of a query containing a Hash Join without JIT compilation and up to a 26% performance increase when JIT is enabled and optimization and inlining were performed by the JIT compiler. The performance increase with 1 join column was less with a 14% increase with and without JIT. This test was done using a fairly small hash table and a large number of hash probes. The increase will likely be less with large tables, especially ones larger than L3 cache as memory pressure is more likely to be the limiting factor there. This commit only addresses Hash Joins, but lays expression evaluation and JIT compilation infrastructure for other hashing needs such as Hash Aggregate.

2024-07-31Evaluate arguments of correlated SubPlans in the referencing ExprStateAndres Freund
Until now we generated an ExprState for each parameter to a SubPlan and evaluated them one-by-one ExecScanSubPlan. That's sub-optimal as creating lots of small ExprStates a) makes JIT compilation more expensive b) wastes memory c) is a bit slower to execute This commit arranges to evaluate parameters to a SubPlan as part of the ExprState referencing a SubPlan, using the new EEOP_PARAM_SET expression step. We emit one EEOP_PARAM_SET for each argument to a subplan, just before the EEOP_SUBPLAN step. It likely is worth using EEOP_PARAM_SET in other places as well, e.g. for SubPlan outputs, nestloop parameters and - more ambitiously - to get rid of ExprContext->domainValue/caseValue/ecxt_agg*.

2024-07-30SQL/JSON: Fix casting for integer EXISTS columns in JSON_TABLEAmit Langote
The current method of coercing the boolean result value of JsonPathExists() to the target type specified for an EXISTS column, which is to call the type's input function via json_populate_type(), leads to an error when the target type is integer, because the integer input function doesn't recognize boolean literal values as valid. Instead use the boolean-to-integer cast function for coercion in that case so that using integer or domains thereof as type for EXISTS columns works. Note that coercion for ON ERROR values TRUE and FALSE already works like that because the parser creates a cast expression including the cast function, but the coercion of the actual result value is not handled by the parser.

2024-06-28SQL/JSON: Always coerce JsonExpr result at runtimeAmit Langote
Instead of looking up casts at parse time for converting the result of JsonPath* query functions to the specified or the default RETURNING type, always perform the conversion at runtime using either the target type's input function or the function json_populate_type(). There are two motivations for this change: 1. json_populate_type() coerces to types with typmod such that any string values that exceed length limit cause an error instead of silent truncation, which is necessary to be standard-conforming. 2. It was possible to end up with a cast expression that doesn't support soft handling of errors causing bugs in the of handling ON ERROR clause. JsonExpr.coercion_expr which would store the cast expression is no longer necessary, so remove. Bump catversion because stored rules change because of the above removal.

2024-04-04Add basic JSON_TABLE() functionalityAmit Langote
JSON_TABLE() allows JSON data to be converted into a relational view and thus used, for example, in a FROM clause, like other tabular data. Data to show in the view is selected from a source JSON object using a JSON path expression to get a sequence of JSON objects that's called a "row pattern", which becomes the source to compute the SQL/JSON values that populate the view's output columns. Column values themselves are computed using JSON path expressions applied to each of the JSON objects comprising the "row pattern", for which the SQL/JSON query functions added in 6185c9737cf4 are used. To implement JSON_TABLE() as a table function, this augments the TableFunc and TableFuncScanState nodes that are currently used to support XMLTABLE() with some JSON_TABLE()-specific fields. Note that the JSON_TABLE() spec includes NESTED COLUMNS and PLAN clauses, which are required to provide more flexibility to extract data out of nested JSON objects, but they are not implemented here to keep this commit of manageable size.

2024-03-21Add SQL/JSON query functionsAmit Langote
This introduces the following SQL/JSON functions for querying JSON data using jsonpath expressions: JSON_EXISTS(), which can be used to apply a jsonpath expression to a JSON value to check if it yields any values. JSON_QUERY(), which can be used to to apply a jsonpath expression to a JSON value to get a JSON object, an array, or a string. There are various options to control whether multi-value result uses array wrappers and whether the singleton scalar strings are quoted or not. JSON_VALUE(), which can be used to apply a jsonpath expression to a JSON value to return a single scalar value, producing an error if it multiple values are matched. Both JSON_VALUE() and JSON_QUERY() functions have options for handling EMPTY and ERROR conditions, which can be used to specify the behavior when no values are matched and when an error occurs during jsonpath evaluation, respectively.

This allows a RETURNING clause to be appended to a MERGE query, to return values based on each row inserted, updated, or deleted. As with plain INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands, the returned values are based on the new contents of the target table for INSERT and UPDATE actions, and on its old contents for DELETE actions. Values from the source relation may also be returned. As with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, the output of MERGE ... RETURNING may be used as the source relation for other operations such as WITH queries and COPY commands. Additionally, a special function merge_action() is provided, which returns 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', or 'DELETE', depending on the action executed for each row. The merge_action() function can be used anywhere in the RETURNING list, including in arbitrary expressions and subqueries, but it is an error to use it anywhere outside of a MERGE query's RETURNING list.

as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU) While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more specific #include replaces another less specific one. Some manual adjustments of the automatic result: - IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so those includes are being kept manually. - All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to play it safe. - No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the patch from exploding in size. Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in header files changes in hidden ways.

2024-01-24Add soft error handling to some expression nodesAmit Langote
This adjusts the code for CoerceViaIO and CoerceToDomain expression nodes to handle errors softly. For CoerceViaIo, this adds a new ExprEvalStep opcode EEOP_IOCOERCE_SAFE, which is implemented in the new accompanying function ExecEvalCoerceViaIOSafe(). The only difference from EEOP_IOCOERCE's inline implementation is that the input function receives an ErrorSaveContext via the function's FunctionCallInfo.context, which it can use to handle errors softly. For CoerceToDomain, this simply entails replacing the ereport() in ExecEvalConstraintNotNull() and ExecEvalConstraintCheck() by errsave() passing it the ErrorSaveContext passed in the expression's ExprEvalStep. In both cases, the ErrorSaveContext to be used is passed by setting ExprState.escontext to point to it before calling ExecInitExprRec() on the expression tree whose errors are to be handled softly. Note that there's no functional change as of this commit as no call site of ExecInitExprRec() has been changed. This is intended for implementing new SQL/JSON expression nodes in future commits.

2023-06-29Fix order of operations in ExecEvalFieldStoreDeForm().Tom Lane
If the given composite datum is toasted out-of-line, DatumGetHeapTupleHeader will perform database accesses to detoast it. That can invalidate the result of get_cached_rowtype, as documented (perhaps not plainly enough) in that function's API spec; which leads to strange errors or crashes when we try to use the TupleDesc to read the tuple. In short then, trying to update a field of a composite column could fail intermittently if the overall column value is wide enough to require toasting. We can fix the bug at no cost by just changing the order of operations, since we don't need the TupleDesc until after detoasting. (Other callers of get_cached_rowtype appear to get this right already, so there's only one bug.) Note that the added regression test case reveals this bug reliably only with debug_discard_caches/CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS. Per bug #17994 from Alexander Lakhin. Sadly, this patch does not fix the missing-values issue revealed in the bug discussion; we'll need some more work to cover that. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17994-5c7100b51b4790e9@postgresql.org

2023-05-17Add back SQLValueFunction for SQL keywordsMichael Paquier
This is equivalent to a revert of f193883 and fb32748, with the addition that the declaration of the SQLValueFunction node needs to gain a couple of node_attr for query jumbling. The performance impact of removing the function call inlining is proving to be too huge for some workloads where these are used. A worst-case test case of involving only simple SELECT queries with a SQL keyword is proving to lead to a reduction of 10% in TPS via pgbench and prepared queries on a high-end machine. None of the tests I ran back for this set of changes saw such a huge gap, but Alexander Lakhin and Andres Freund have found that this can be noticeable. Keeping the older performance would mean to do more inlining in the executor when using COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX for a function expression, similarly to what SQLValueFunction does. This requires more redesign work and there is little time until 16beta1 is released, so for now reverting the change is the best way forward, bringing back the previous performance.

This commit introduces the SQL/JSON standard-conforming constructors for JSON types: JSON_ARRAY() JSON_ARRAYAGG() JSON_OBJECT() JSON_OBJECTAGG() Most of the functionality was already present in PostgreSQL-specific functions, but these include some new functionality such as the ability to skip or include NULL values, and to allow duplicate keys or throw error when they are found, as well as the standard specified syntax to specify output type and format.

2023-03-26Fix oversights in array manipulation.Tom Lane
The nested-arrays code path in ExecEvalArrayExpr() used palloc to allocate the result array, whereas every other array-creating function has used palloc0 since 18c0b4ecc. This mostly works, but unused bits past the end of the nulls bitmap may end up undefined. That causes valgrind complaints with -DWRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES, and could cause planner misbehavior as cited in 18c0b4ecc. There seems no very good reason why we should strive to avoid palloc0 in just this one case, so fix it the easy way with s/palloc/palloc0/. While looking at that I noted that we also failed to check for overflow of "nbytes" and "nitems" while summing the sizes of the sub-arrays, potentially allowing a crash due to undersized output allocation. For "nbytes", follow the policy used by other array-munging code of checking for overflow after each addition. (As elsewhere, the last addition of the array's overhead space doesn't need an extra check, since palloc itself will catch a value between 1Gb and 2Gb.) For "nitems", there's no very good reason to sum the inputs at all, since we can perfectly well use ArrayGetNItems' result instead of ignoring it. Per discussion of this bug, also remove redundant zeroing of the nulls bitmap in array_set_element and array_set_slice. Patch by Alexander Lakhin and myself, per bug #17858 from Alexander Lakhin; thanks also to Richard Guo. These bugs are a dozen years old, so back-patch to all supported branches.

2023-03-15Support [NO] INDENT option in XMLSERIALIZE().Tom Lane
This adds the ability to pretty-print XML documents ... according to libxml's somewhat idiosyncratic notions of what's pretty, anyway. One notable divergence from a strict reading of the spec is that libxml is willing to collapse empty nodes "<node></node>" to just "<node/>", whereas SQL and the underlying XML spec say that this option should only result in whitespace tweaks. Nonetheless, it seems close enough to justify using the SQL-standard syntax.

2023-02-13Fix pfree issue in presorted DISTINCT aggregate codeDavid Rowley
The logic in this area was recently changed in 7da51590e, however, in that commit, I neglected to consider that the conditions in which we should pfree the old Datum needed to be updated after that change. This could result in trying to pfree a NULL value, as was demonstrated by Alexander Lakhin.

2023-02-13Fix incorrect presorted DISTINCT aggregate if conditionDavid Rowley
Here we fix a faulty "if" condition which failed to correctly handle two or more consecutive NULL transition values when checking if the new value is DISTINCT from the old value for presorted aggregates. Given a suitably non-strict aggregate transition function, a byref aggregate could cause a crash due to calling the type's equality function and passing along a (Datum) 0 value to test for equality, the equality function would then try to dereference that 0 Datum and segfault. For byval types, there'd have been no crash and the equality function would have seen that the two 0 Datums matched, which (only by chance) meant the calling code would have worked correctly. Here we ensure that we only call the equality function when neither of the input values are NULL. This code is all new as of 1349d2790, so no backpatch needed.

2022-12-15Static assertions cleanupPeter Eisentraut
Because we added StaticAssertStmt() first before StaticAssertDecl(), some uses as well as the instructions in c.h are now a bit backwards from the "native" way static assertions are meant to be used in C. This updates the guidance and moves some static assertions to better places. Specifically, since the addition of StaticAssertDecl(), we can put static assertions at the file level. This moves a number of static assertions out of function bodies, where they might have been stuck out of necessity, to perhaps better places at the file level or in header files. Also, when the static assertion appears in a position where a declaration is allowed, then using StaticAssertDecl() is more native than StaticAssertStmt().

2022-11-21Replace SQLValueFunction by COERCE_SQL_SYNTAXMichael Paquier
This switch impacts 9 patterns related to a SQL-mandated special syntax for function calls: - LOCALTIME [ ( typmod ) ] - LOCALTIMESTAMP [ ( typmod ) ] - CURRENT_TIME [ ( typmod ) ] - CURRENT_TIMESTAMP [ ( typmod ) ] - CURRENT_DATE Five new entries are added to pg_proc to compensate the removal of SQLValueFunction to provide backward-compatibility and making this change transparent for the end-user (for example for the attribute generated when a keyword is specified in a SELECT or in a FROM clause without an alias, or when specifying something else than an Iconst to the parser). The parser included a set of checks coming from the files in charge of holding the C functions used for the SQLValueFunction calls (as of transformSQLValueFunction()), which are now moved within each function's execution path, so this reduces the dependencies between the execution and the parsing steps. As of this change, all the SQL keywords use the same paths for their work, relying only on COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX. Like fb32748, no performance difference has been noticed, while the perf profiles get reduced with ExecEvalSQLValueFunction() gone. Bump catalog version.

2022-11-20Switch SQLValueFunction on "name" to use COERCE_SQL_SYNTAXMichael Paquier
This commit changes six SQL keywords to use COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX rather than relying on SQLValueFunction: - CURRENT_ROLE - CURRENT_USER - USER - SESSION_USER - CURRENT_CATALOG - CURRENT_SCHEMA Among the six, "user", "current_role" and "current_catalog" require specific SQL functions to allow ruleutils.c to map them to the SQL keywords these require when using COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX. Having pg_proc.proname match with the keyword ensures that the compatibility remains the same when projecting any of these keywords in a FROM clause to an attribute name when an alias is not specified. This is covered by the tests added in 2e0d80c, making sure that a correct mapping happens with each SQL keyword. The three others (current_schema, session_user and current_user) already have pg_proc entries for this job, so this brings more consistency between the way such keywords are treated in the parser, the executor and ruleutils.c. SQLValueFunction is reduced to half its contents after this change, simplifying its logic a bit as there is no need to enforce a C collation anymore for the entries returning a name as a result. I have made a few performance tests, with a million-ish calls to these keywords without seeing a difference in run-time or in perf profiles (ExecEvalSQLValueFunction() is removed from the profiles). The remaining SQLValueFunctions are now related to timestamps and dates. Bump catalog version. Reviewed-by: Corey Huinker Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/YzaG3MoryCguUOym@paquier.xyz

2022-08-02Improve performance of ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregatesDavid Rowley
ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggreagtes have, since implemented in Postgres, been executed by always performing a sort in nodeAgg.c to sort the tuples in the current group into the correct order before calling the transition function on the sorted tuples. This was not great as often there might be an index that could have provided pre-sorted input and allowed the transition functions to be called as the rows come in, rather than having to store them in a tuplestore in order to sort them once all the tuples for the group have arrived. Here we change the planner so it requests a path with a sort order which supports the most amount of ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregate functions and add new code to the executor to allow it to support the processing of ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates where the tuples are already sorted in the correct order. Since there can be many ORDER BY / DISTINCT aggregates in any given query level, it's very possible that we can't find an order that suits all of these aggregates. The sort order that the planner chooses is simply the one that suits the most aggregate functions. We take the most strictly sorted variation of each order and see how many aggregate functions can use that, then we try again with the order of the remaining aggregates to see if another order would suit more aggregate functions. For example: SELECT agg(a ORDER BY a),agg2(a ORDER BY a,b) ... would request the sort order to be {a, b} because {a} is a subset of the sort order of {a,b}, but; SELECT agg(a ORDER BY a),agg2(a ORDER BY c) ... would just pick a plan ordered by {a} (we give precedence to aggregates which are earlier in the targetlist). SELECT agg(a ORDER BY a),agg2(a ORDER BY b),agg3(a ORDER BY b) ... would choose to order by {b} since two aggregates suit that vs just one that requires input ordered by {a}.

2022-07-06Remove size increase in ExprEvalStep caused by hashed saopsDavid Rowley
50e17ad28 increased the size of ExprEvalStep from 64 bytes up to 88 bytes. Lots of effort was spent during the development of the current expression evaluation code to make an instance of this struct as small as possible. Making this struct larger than needed reduces CPU cache efficiency during expression evaluation which causes noticeable slowdowns during query execution. In order to reduce the size of the struct, here we remove the fn_addr field. The values from this field can be obtained via fcinfo, just with some extra pointer dereferencing. The extra indirection does not seem to cause any noticeable slowdowns. Various other fields have been moved into the ScalarArrayOpExprHashTable struct. These fields are only used when the ScalarArrayOpExprHashTable pointer has already been dereferenced, so no additional pointer dereferences occur for these. Here we also make hash_fcinfo_data the last field in ScalarArrayOpExprHashTable so that we can avoid a further pointer dereference to get the FunctionCallInfoBaseData. This also saves a call to palloc(). 50e17ad28 was added in 14, but it's too late to adjust the size of the ExprEvalStep in that version, so here we just backpatch to 15, which is currently in beta.

2022-06-10Un-break whole-row Vars referencing domain-over-composite types.Tom Lane
In commit ec62cb0aa, I foolishly replaced ExecEvalWholeRowVar's lookup_rowtype_tupdesc_domain call with just lookup_rowtype_tupdesc, because I didn't see how a domain could be involved there, and there were no regression test cases to jog my memory. But the existing code was correct, so revert that change and add a test case showing why it's necessary. (Note: per comment in struct DatumTupleFields, it is correct to produce an output tuple that's labeled with the base composite type, not the domain; hence just blindly looking through the domain is correct here.) Per bug #17515 from Dan Kubb. Back-patch to v11 where domains over composites became a thing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/17515-a24737438363aca0@postgresql.org
2022-05-13Rename JsonIsPredicate.value_type, fix JSON backend/nodes/ infrastructure.Tom Lane
I started out with the intention to rename value_type to item_type to avoid a collision with a typedef name that appears on some platforms. Along the way, I noticed that the adjacent field "format" was not being correctly handled by the backend/nodes/ infrastructure functions: copyfuncs.c erroneously treated it as a scalar, while equalfuncs, outfuncs, and readfuncs omitted handling it at all. This looks like it might be cosmetic at the moment because the field is always NULL after parse analysis; but that's likely a bug in itself, and the code's certainly not very future-proof. Let's fix it while we can still do so without forcing an initdb on beta testers. Further study found a few other inconsistencies in the backend/nodes/ infrastructure for the recently-added JSON node types, so fix those too. catversion bumped because of potential change in stored rules.

This Patch introduces three SQL standard JSON functions: JSON() (incorrectly mentioned in my commit message for f4fb45d15c) JSON_SCALAR() JSON_SERIALIZE() JSON() produces json values from text, bytea, json or jsonb values, and has facilitites for handling duplicate keys. JSON_SCALAR() produces a json value from any scalar sql value, including json and jsonb. JSON_SERIALIZE() produces text or bytea from input which containis or represents json or jsonb; For the most part these functions don't add any significant new capabilities, but they will be of use to users wanting standard compliant JSON handling.
