useless substructure for its RangeTblEntry nodes. (I chose to keep using the
same struct node type and just zero out the link fields for unneeded info,
rather than making a separate ExecRangeTblEntry type --- it seemed too
fragile to have two different rangetable representations.)
Along the way, put subplans into a list in the toplevel PlannedStmt node,
and have SubPlan nodes refer to them by list index instead of direct pointers.
Vadim wanted to do that years ago, but I never understood what he was on about
until now. It makes things a *whole* lot more robust, because we can stop
worrying about duplicate processing of subplans during expression tree
traversals. That's been a constant source of bugs, and it's finally gone.
There are some consequent simplifications yet to be made, like not using
a separate EState for subplans in the executor, but I'll tackle that later.

plan nodes, so that the executor does not need to get these items from
the range table at runtime. This will avoid needing to include these
fields in the compact range table I'm expecting to make the executor use.

ps_TupFromTlist in plan nodes that make use of it. This was being done
correctly in join nodes and Result nodes but not in any relation-scan nodes.
Bug would lead to bogus results if a set-returning function appeared in the
targetlist of a subquery that could be rescanned after partial execution,
for example a subquery within EXISTS(). Bug has been around forever :-(
... surprising it wasn't reported before.

tuples with less header overhead than a regular HeapTuple, per my
recent proposal. Teach TupleTableSlot code how to deal with these.
As proof of concept, change tuplestore.c to store MinimalTuples instead
of HeapTuples. Future patches will expand the concept to other places
where it is useful.

by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time
ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving
lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is
only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need
to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go
away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context.

The original coding stored the raw parser output (ColumnDef and TypeName
nodes) which was ugly, bulky, and wrong because it failed to create any
dependency on the referenced datatype --- and in fact would not track type
renamings and suchlike. Instead store a list of column type OIDs in the
RTE.
Also fix up general failure of recordDependencyOnExpr to do anything sane
about recording dependencies on datatypes. While there are many cases where
there will be an indirect dependency (eg if an operator returns a datatype,
the dependency on the operator is enough), we do have to record the datatype
as a separate dependency in examples like CoerceToDomain.

bits indicating which optional capabilities can actually be exercised
at runtime. This will allow Sort and Material nodes, and perhaps later
other nodes, to avoid unnecessary overhead in common cases.
This commit just adds the infrastructure and arranges to pass the correct
flag values down to plan nodes; none of the actual optimizations are here
yet. I'm committing this separately in case anyone wants to measure the
added overhead. (It should be negligible.)

aren't doing anything useful (ie, neither selection nor projection).
Also, extend to SubqueryScan the hacks already in place to avoid
unnecessary ExecProject calls when the result would just be the same
tuple the subquery already delivered. This saves some overhead in
UNION and other set operations, as well as avoiding overhead for
unflatten-able subqueries. Per example from Sokolov Yura.

of tuples when passing data up through multiple plan nodes. A slot can now
hold either a normal "physical" HeapTuple, or a "virtual" tuple consisting
of Datum/isnull arrays. Upper plan levels can usually just copy the Datum
arrays, avoiding heap_formtuple() and possible subsequent nocachegetattr()
calls to extract the data again. This work extends Atsushi Ogawa's earlier
patch, which provided the key idea of adding Datum arrays to TupleTableSlots.
(I believe however that something like this was foreseen way back in Berkeley
days --- see the old comment on ExecProject.) A test case involving many
levels of join of fairly wide tables (about 80 columns altogether) showed
about 3x overall speedup, though simple queries will probably not be
helped very much.
I have also duplicated some code in heaptuple.c in order to provide versions
of heap_formtuple and friends that use "bool" arrays to indicate null
attributes, instead of the old convention of "char" arrays containing either
'n' or ' '. This provides a better match to the convention used by
ExecEvalExpr. While I have not made a concerted effort to get rid of uses
of the old routines, I think they should be deprecated and eventually removed.

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 ...

to make life cushy for the JDBC driver. Centralize the decision-making
that affects this by inventing a get_type_func_class() function, rather
than adding special cases in half a dozen places.

when a function that returns a single tuple (not a setof tuple) returns
NULL. This seems to be the most consistent behavior. It would have
taken a bit less code to make it return an empty table (zero rows) but
ISTM a non-SETOF function ought always return exactly one row. Per
bug report from Ivan-Sun1.

In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was
merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that
design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch
fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list
length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer.
A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data
about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer
to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes.
The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope,
be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are
still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of
the tree has been updated to use the new API names.

results with tuples as ordinary varlena Datums. This commit does not
in itself do much for us, except eliminate the horrid memory leak
associated with evaluation of whole-row variables. However, it lays the
groundwork for allowing composite types as table columns, and perhaps
some other useful features as well. Per my proposal of a few days ago.

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.

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.

well as function calls. This is needed for cases where the planner has
constant-folded or inlined the original function call. Possibly we should
back-patch this change into 7.3 branch as well.

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.

types for Table Functions, as previously proposed on HACKERS. Here is a
brief explanation:
1. Creates a new pg_type typtype: 'p' for pseudo type (currently either
'b' for base or 'c' for catalog, i.e. a class).
2. Creates new builtin type of typtype='p' named RECORD. This is the
first of potentially several pseudo types.
3. Modify FROM clause grammer to accept:
SELECT * FROM my_func() AS m(colname1 type1, colname2 type1, ...)
where m is the table alias, colname1, etc are the column names, and
type1, etc are the column types.
4. When typtype == 'p' and the function return type is RECORD, a list
of column defs is required, and when typtype != 'p', it is
disallowed.
5. A check was added to ensure that the tupdesc provide via the parser
and the actual return tupdesc match in number and type of
attributes.
When creating a function you can do:
CREATE FUNCTION foo(text) RETURNS setof RECORD ...
When using it you can do:
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS (f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
or
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
or
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
Included in the patches are adjustments to the regression test sql and
expected files, and documentation.
p.s.
This potentially solves (or at least improves) the issue of builtin
Table Functions. They can be bootstrapped as returning RECORD, and
we can wrap system views around them with properly specified column
defs. For example:
CREATE VIEW pg_settings AS
SELECT s.name, s.setting
FROM show_all_settings()AS s(name text, setting text);
Then we can also add the UPDATE RULE that I previously posted to
pg_settings, and have pg_settings act like a virtual table, allowing
settings to be queried and set.

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.
