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.

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.)

(previously we only did = and <> correctly). Also, allow row comparisons
with any operators that are in btree opclasses, not only those with these
specific names. This gets rid of a whole lot of indefensible assumptions
about the behavior of particular operators based on their names ... though
it's still true that IN and NOT IN expand to "= ANY". The patch adds a
RowCompareExpr expression node type, and makes some changes in the
representation of ANY/ALL/ROWCOMPARE SubLinks so that they can share code
with RowCompareExpr.
I have not yet done anything about making RowCompareExpr an indexable
operator, but will look at that soon.

in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).

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.

few palloc's. I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields
entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's
contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler
and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date.

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 ...

list compatibility API by default. While doing this, I decided to keep
the llast() macro around and introduce llast_int() and llast_oid() variants.

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.

directly to the appropriate per-node execution function, using a function
pointer stored by ExecInitExpr. This speeds things up by eliminating one
level of function call. The function-pointer technique also enables further
small improvements such as only making one-time tests once (and then
changing the function pointer). Overall this seems to gain about 10%
on evaluation of simple expressions, which isn't earthshaking but seems
a worthwhile gain for a relatively small hack. Per recent discussion
on pghackers.

for sure...). Rather than relying on the query context of a rangetable
entry to identify what permissions it wants checked, store a full AclMode
mask in each RTE, and check exactly those bits. This allows an RTE
specifying, say, INSERT privilege on a view to be copied into a derived
UPDATE query without changing meaning. Per recent discussion thread.

discussion on pgsql-hackers: in READ COMMITTED mode we just have to force
a QuerySnapshot update in the trigger, but in SERIALIZABLE mode we have
to run the scan under a current snapshot and then complain if any rows
would be updated/deleted that are not visible in the transaction snapshot.

to allow es_snapshot to be set to SnapshotNow rather than a query snapshot.
This solves a bug reported by Wade Klaver, wherein triggers fired as a
result of RI cascade updates could misbehave.

as well as the hash function (formerly the comparison function was hardwired
as memcmp()). This makes it possible to eliminate the special-purpose
hashtable management code in execGrouping.c in favor of using dynahash to
manage tuple hashtables; which is a win because dynahash knows how to expand
a hashtable when the original size estimate was too small, whereas the
special-purpose code was too stupid to do that. (See recent gripe from
Stephan Szabo about poor performance when hash table size estimate is way
off.) Free side benefit: when using string_hash, the default comparison
function is now strncmp() instead of memcmp(). This should eliminate some
part of the overhead associated with larger NAMEDATALEN values.

comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq. Create
a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes
on array columns.
Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array
operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call.
Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions.
Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript
functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become
supported functions.
Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or
zero-dimensional arrays.

specific hash functions used by hash indexes, rather than the old
not-datatype-aware ComputeHashFunc routine. This makes it safe to do
hash joining on several datatypes that previously couldn't use hashing.
The sets of datatypes that are hash indexable and hash joinable are now
exactly the same, whereas before each had some that weren't in the other.

extensions to support our historical behavior. An aggregate belongs
to the closest query level of any of the variables in its argument,
or the current query level if there are no variables (e.g., COUNT(*)).
The implementation involves adding an agglevelsup field to Aggref,
and treating outer aggregates like outer variables at planning time.

locParam lists can be converted to bitmapsets to speed updating. Also,
replace 'locParam' with 'allParam', which contains all the paramIDs
relevant to the node (i.e., the union of extParam and locParam); this
saves a step during SetChangedParamList() without costing anything
elsewhere.

more to be done yet, but this is a good start.

Simplify SubLink by storing just a List of operator OIDs, instead of
a list of incomplete OpExprs --- that was a bizarre and bulky choice,
with no redeeming social value since we have to build new OpExprs
anyway when forming the plan tree.

'NOT (x IN (subselect))', that is 'NOT (x = ANY (subselect))',
rather than 'x <> ALL (subselect)' as we formerly did. This
opens the door to optimizing NOT IN the same way as IN, whereas
there's no hope of optimizing the expression using <>. Also,
convert 'x <> ALL (subselect)' to the NOT(IN) style, so that
the optimization will be available when processing rules dumped
by older Postgres versions.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
