2010-07-12Make NestLoop plan nodes pass outer-relation variables into their innerTom Lane
relation using the general PARAM_EXEC executor parameter mechanism, rather than the ad-hoc kluge of passing the outer tuple down through ExecReScan. The previous method was hard to understand and could never be extended to handle parameters coming from multiple join levels. This patch doesn't change the set of possible plans nor have any significant performance effect, but it's necessary infrastructure for future generalization of the concept of an inner indexscan plan. ExecReScan's second parameter is now unused, so it's removed.

2008-08-07Improve INTERSECT/EXCEPT hashing by realizing that we don't need to make anyTom Lane
hashtable entries for tuples that are found only in the second input: they can never contribute to the output. Furthermore, this implies that the planner should endeavor to put first the smaller (in number of groups) input relation for an INTERSECT. Implement that, and upgrade prepunion's estimation of the number of rows returned by setops so that there's some amount of sanity in the estimate of which one is smaller.
2008-08-07Support hashing for duplicate-elimination in INTERSECT and EXCEPT queries.Tom Lane
This completes my project of improving usage of hashing for duplicate elimination (aggregate functions with DISTINCT remain undone, but that's for some other day). As with the previous patches, this means we can INTERSECT/EXCEPT on datatypes that can hash but not sort, and it means that INTERSECT/EXCEPT without ORDER BY are no longer certain to produce sorted output.

2007-01-10Change the planner-to-executor API so that the planner tells the executorTom Lane
which comparison operators to use for plan nodes involving tuple comparison (Agg, Group, Unique, SetOp). Formerly the executor looked up the default equality operator for the datatype, which was really pretty shaky, since it's possible that the data being fed to the node is sorted according to some nondefault operator class that could have an incompatible idea of equality. The planner knows what it has sorted by and therefore can provide the right equality operator to use. Also, this change moves a couple of catalog lookups out of the executor and into the planner, which should help startup time for pre-planned queries by some small amount. Modify the planner to remove some other cavalier assumptions about always being able to use the default operators. Also add "nulls first/last" info to the Plan node for a mergejoin --- neither the executor nor the planner can cope yet, but at least the API is in place.

2006-02-28Extend the ExecInitNode API so that plan nodes receive a set of flagTom Lane
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.) Simon Riggs and Tom Lane
2005-11-23Get rid of ExecAssignResultTypeFromOuterPlan() and make all plan node typesTom Lane
generate their output tuple descriptors from their target lists (ie, using ExecAssignResultTypeFromTL()). We long ago fixed things so that all node types have minimally valid tlists, so there's no longer any good reason to have two different ways of doing it. This change is needed to fix bug reported by Hayden James: the fix of 2005-11-03 to emit the correct column names after optimizing away a SubqueryScan node didn't work if the new top-level plan node used ExecAssignResultTypeFromOuterPlan to generate its tupdesc, since the next plan node down won't have the correct column labels.

2005-05-06For some reason access/tupmacs.h has been #including utils/memutils.h,Tom Lane
which is neither needed by nor related to that header. Remove the bogus inclusion and instead include the header in those C files that actually need it. Also fix unnecessary inclusions and bad inclusion order in tsearch2 files.
2005-03-16Revise TupleTableSlot code to avoid unnecessary construction and disassemblyTom Lane
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.

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.
2002-12-05Phase 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.

2000-10-05Reimplementation of UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT. INTERSECT/EXCEPT now meet theTom Lane
SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too. This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the datatype conversions can be inserted safely. INITDB NEEDED!
