2016-06-03Mark read/write expanded values as read-only in ValuesNext(), too.Tom Lane
Further thought about bug #14174 motivated me to try the case of a R/W datum being returned from a VALUES list, and sure enough it was broken. Fix that. Also add a regression test case exercising the same scenario for FunctionScan. That's not broken right now, because the function's result will get shoved into a tuplestore between generation and use; but it could easily become broken whenever we get around to optimizing FunctionScan better. There don't seem to be any other places where we put the result of expression evaluation into a virtual tuple slot that could then be the source for Vars of further expression evaluation, so I think this is the end of this bug.

2014-11-20Remove dead code supporting mark/restore in SeqScan, TidScan, ValuesScan.Tom Lane
There seems no prospect that any of this will ever be useful, and indeed it's questionable whether some of it would work if it ever got called; it's certainly not been exercised in a very long time, if ever. So let's get rid of it, and make the comments about mark/restore in execAmi.c less wishy-washy. The mark/restore support for Result nodes is also currently dead code, but that's due to planner limitations not because it's impossible that it could be useful. So I left it in.
2014-11-10Ensure that RowExprs and whole-row Vars produce the expected column names.Tom Lane
At one time it wasn't terribly important what column names were associated with the fields of a composite Datum, but since the introduction of operations like row_to_json(), it's important that looking up the rowtype ID embedded in the Datum returns the column names that users would expect. That did not work terribly well before this patch: you could get the column names of the underlying table, or column aliases from any level of the query, depending on minor details of the plan tree. You could even get totally empty field names, which is disastrous for cases like row_to_json(). To fix this for whole-row Vars, look to the RTE referenced by the Var, and make sure its column aliases are applied to the rowtype associated with the result Datums. This is a tad scary because we might have to return a transient RECORD type even though the Var is declared as having some named rowtype. In principle it should be all right because the record type will still be physically compatible with the named rowtype; but I had to weaken one Assert in ExecEvalConvertRowtype, and there might be third-party code containing similar assumptions. Similarly, RowExprs have to be willing to override the column names coming from a named composite result type and produce a RECORD when the column aliases visible at the site of the RowExpr differ from the underlying table's column names. In passing, revert the decision made in commit 398f70ec070fe601 to add an alias-list argument to ExecTypeFromExprList: better to provide that functionality in a separate function. This also reverts most of the code changes in d68581483564ec0f, which we don't need because we're no longer depending on the tupdesc found in the child plan node's result slot to be blessed. Back-patch to 9.4, but not earlier, since this solution changes the results in some cases that users might not have realized were buggy. We'll apply a more restricted form of this patch in older branches.

2012-02-14Preserve column names in the execution-time tupledesc for a RowExpr.Tom Lane
The hstore and json datatypes both have record-conversion functions that pay attention to column names in the composite values they're handed. We used to not worry about inserting correct field names into tuple descriptors generated at runtime, but given these examples it seems useful to do so. Observe the nicer-looking results in the regression tests whose results changed. catversion bump because there is a subtle change in requirements for stored rule parsetrees: RowExprs from ROW() constructs now have to include field names.

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.

2009-10-26Re-implement EvalPlanQual processing to improve its performance and eliminateTom Lane
a lot of strange behaviors that occurred in join cases. We now identify the "current" row for every joined relation in UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE queries. If an EvalPlanQual recheck is necessary, we jam the appropriate row into each scan node in the rechecking plan, forcing it to emit only that one row. The former behavior could rescan the whole of each joined relation for each recheck, which was terrible for performance, and what's much worse could result in duplicated output tuples. Also, the original implementation of EvalPlanQual could not re-use the recheck execution tree --- it had to go through a full executor init and shutdown for every row to be tested. To avoid this overhead, I've associated a special runtime Param with each LockRows or ModifyTable plan node, and arranged to make every scan node below such a node depend on that Param. Thus, by signaling a change in that Param, the EPQ machinery can just rescan the already-built test plan. This patch also adds a prohibition on set-returning functions in the targetlist of SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE. This is needed to avoid the duplicate-output-tuple problem. It seems fairly reasonable since the other restrictions on SELECT FOR UPDATE are meant to ensure that there is a unique correspondence between source tuples and result tuples, which an output SRF destroys as much as anything else does.

2007-02-22Turn the rangetable used by the executor into a flat list, and avoid storingTom Lane
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.
2007-02-19Put function expressions and values lists into FunctionScan and ValuesScanTom Lane
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.

2006-12-26Repair bug #2839: the various ExecReScan functions need to resetTom Lane
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.

2006-08-02Arrange for ValuesScan to keep per-sublist expression eval state in aTom Lane
temporary context that can be reset when advancing to the next sublist. This is faster and more thorough at recovering space than the previous method; moreover it will do the right thing if something in the sublist tries to register an expression context callback.
