2002-11-06First phase of implementing hash-based grouping/aggregation. An AGG planTom Lane
node now does its own grouping of the input rows, and has no need for a preceding GROUP node in the plan pipeline. This allows elimination of the misnamed tuplePerGroup option for GROUP, and actually saves more code in nodeGroup.c than it costs in nodeAgg.c, as well as being presumably faster. Restructure the API of query_planner so that we do not commit to using a sorted or unsorted plan in query_planner; instead grouping_planner makes the decision. (Right now it isn't any smarter than query_planner was, but that will change as soon as it has the option to select a hash- based aggregation step.) Despite all the hackery, no initdb needed since only in-memory node types changed.
2002-11-02Clean up a few fprintf(stderr)'s that should be elog's.Tom Lane
2002-11-01Reduce a couple of debugging messages from LOG to DEBUG1 category.Tom Lane
2002-10-14Make SPI's execution of querystrings follow the rules agreed to forTom Lane
command status at the interactive level. SPI_processed, etc are set in the same way as the returned command status would have been set if the same querystring were issued interactively. Per gripe from Michael Paesold 25-Sep-02.
2002-10-14Arrange to copy relcache's trigdesc structure at the start of anyTom Lane
query that uses it. This ensures that triggers will be applied consistently throughout a query even if someone commits changes to the relation's pg_class.reltriggers field meanwhile. Per crash report from Laurette Cisneros. While at it, simplify memory management in relcache.c, which no longer needs the old hack to try to keep trigger info in the same place over a relcache entry rebuild. (Should try to fix rd_att and rewrite-rule access similarly, someday.) And make RelationBuildTriggers simpler and more robust by making it build the trigdesc in working memory and then CopyTriggerDesc() into cache memory.
2002-10-04Tweak a few of the most heavily used function call points to zero outTom Lane
just the significant fields of FunctionCallInfoData, rather than MemSet'ing the whole struct to zero. Unused positions in the arg[] array will thereby contain garbage rather than zeroes. This buys back some of the performance hit from increasing FUNC_MAX_ARGS. Also tweak tuplesort.c code for more speed by marking some routines 'inline'. All together these changes speed up simple sorts, like count(distinct int4column), by about 25% on a P4 running RH Linux 7.2.
2002-09-28Make the world at least somewhat safe for zero-column tables, andTom Lane
remove the special case in ALTER DROP COLUMN to prohibit dropping a table's last column.
2002-09-23Further thinking about heap_mark4update: in HeapTupleSelfUpdated case,Tom Lane
executor should not return the tuple as successfully marked, because in fact it's been deleted. Not clear that this case has ever been seen in practice (I think you'd have to write a SELECT FOR UPDATE that calls a function that deletes some row the SELECT will visit later...) but we should be consistent. Also add comments to several other places that got it right but didn't explain what they were doing.
2002-09-18Extend pg_cast castimplicit column to a three-way value; this allows usTom Lane
to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in operator/function resolution. Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8). Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or numeric (never float8 anymore). Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics. Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3. This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation). Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements; it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example. Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types). Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8. initdb forced.
2002-09-04pgindent run.Bruce Momjian
2002-09-02Remove sys/types.h in files that include postgres.h, and hence c.h,Bruce Momjian
because c.h has sys/types.h.
2002-09-02Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headersTom Lane
(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, 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.
2002-08-31Code review for domain-constraints patch. Use a new ConstraintTest nodeTom Lane
type for runtime constraint checks, instead of misusing the parse-time Constraint node for the purpose. Fix some damage introduced into type coercion logic; in particular ensure that a coerced expression tree will read out the correct result type when inspected (patch had broken some RelabelType cases). Enforce domain NOT NULL constraints against columns that are omitted from an INSERT.
2002-08-31Wups, didn't mean to commit that just yet.Tom Lane
2002-08-31The UNDEFOID later causes an assertion failure in heap_formtuple whenTom Lane
you try to use the tupdesc to build a tuple. Joe Conway
2002-08-30Add expected tuple descriptor to ReturnSetInfo information for tableTom Lane
functions, per suggestion from John Gray and Joe Conway. Also, fix plpgsql RETURN NEXT to verify that returned values match the expected tupdesc.
2002-08-30PL/pgSQL functions can return sets. Neil Conway's patch, modified soTom Lane
that the functionality is available to anyone via ReturnSetInfo, rather than hard-wiring it to PL/pgSQL.
2002-08-29Adjust nodeFunctionscan.c to reset transient memory context between callsTom Lane
to the table function, thus preventing memory leakage accumulation across calls. This means that SRFs need to be careful to distinguish permanent and local storage; adjust code and documentation accordingly. Patch by Joe Conway, very minor tweaks by Tom Lane.
2002-08-29Code review for standalone composite types, query-specified compositeTom Lane
types, SRFs. Not happy with memory management yet, but I'll commit these other changes.
2002-08-28backend where a statically sized buffer is written to. Most of theseBruce Momjian
should be pretty safe in practice, but it's probably better to be safe than sorry. I was actually looking for cases where NAMEDATALEN is assumed to be 32, but only found one. That's fixed too, as well as a few bits of code cleanup. Neil Conway
2002-08-26Modify array operations to include array's element type OID in theTom Lane
array header, and to compute sizing and alignment of array elements the same way normal tuple access operations do --- viz, using the tupmacs.h macros att_addlength and att_align. This makes the world safe for arrays of cstrings or intervals, and should make it much easier to write array-type-polymorphic functions; as examples see the cleanups of array_out and contrib/array_iterator. By Joe Conway and Tom Lane.
2002-08-24The cstring datatype can now be copied, passed around, etc. The typlenTom Lane
value '-2' is used to indicate a variable-width type whose width is computed as strlen(datum)+1. Everything that looks at typlen is updated except for array support, which Joe Conway is working on; at the moment it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.
2002-08-23Further cleanup around the edges of OPAQUE/pseudotype changes. CorrectTom Lane
the declarations of some index access method support functions. Support SQL functions returning VOID.

A simple change, but > it passeth patch's understanding ... Thanks. Attached is a patch against cvs tip as of 8:30 PM PST or so. Turned out that even after fixing the failed hunks, there was a new spot in bufmgr.c which needed to be fixed (related to temp relations; RelationUpdateNumberOfBlocks). But thankfully the regression test code caught it :-) Joe Conway
2002-08-07Fix permission checking for temp-table namespace.Tom Lane
2002-08-06Restructure local-buffer handling per recent pghackers discussion.Tom Lane
The local buffer manager is no longer used for newly-created relations (unless they are TEMP); a new non-TEMP relation goes through the shared bufmgr and thus will participate normally in checkpoints. But TEMP relations use the local buffer manager throughout their lifespan. Also, operations in TEMP relations are not logged in WAL, thus improving performance. Since it's no longer necessary to fsync relations as they move out of the local buffers into shared buffers, quite a lot of smgr.c/md.c/fd.c code is no longer needed and has been removed: there's no concept of a dirty relation anymore in md.c/fd.c, and we never fsync anything but WAL. Still TODO: improve local buffer management algorithms so that it would be reasonable to increase NLocBuffer.
2002-08-05Preliminary code review for anonymous-composite-types patch: fix breakageTom Lane
of functions returning domain types, update documentation for typtype, move get_typtype to lsyscache.c (actually, resurrect the old version), add defense against creating pseudo-typed table columns, fix some bogus list-parsing in grammar. Issues remain with respect to alias handling and type checking; Joe is on those.
2002-08-04Attached are two patches to implement and document anonymous compositeBruce Momjian
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.

The July 9th Table Function API patch mentioned above is now in CVS, so here is an updated version of the guc patch which should apply cleanly against CVS tip. Joe Conway
2002-07-20oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian
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. Manfred Koizar
2002-07-18Back out BETWEEN node patch, was causing initdb failure.Bruce Momjian
2002-07-18Finished the Between patch Christopher started.Bruce Momjian
Implements between (symmetric / asymmetric) as a node. Executes the left or right expression once, makes a Const out of the resulting Datum and executes the >=, <= portions out of the Const sets. Of course, the parser does a fair amount of preparatory work for this to happen. Rod Taylor
2002-07-18Here is a patch for the Table Function API. It fixes a bug found by NeilBruce Momjian
Conway (BuildTupleFromCStrings sets NULL for pass-by-value types when intended value is 0). It also implements some other improvements suggested by Neil. Joe Conway

2002-07-06I've fixed up the way domain constraints (not null and type length)Bruce Momjian
are managed as per request. Moved from merging with table attributes to applying themselves during coerce_type() and coerce_type_typmod. Regression tests altered to test the cast() scenarios. Rod Taylor
2002-07-04Fix compile error in assert coded added by new DISTINCT ON patch.Bruce Momjian
2002-07-04Implement the IS DISTINCT FROM operator per SQL99.Thomas G. Lockhart
Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required by SQL99. We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend. Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99. This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses. Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().

2002-06-26The attached patch fixes some spelling mistakes, makes theBruce Momjian
comments on one of the optimizer functions a lot more clear, adds a summary of the recent KSQO discussion to the comments in the code, adds regression tests for the bug with sequence state Tom fixed recently and another reg. test, and removes some PostQuel legacy stuff: ExecAppend -> ExecInsert, ExecRetrieve -> ExecSelect, etc. Error messages remain unchanged until a vote.

2002-06-23It seems that ExecInit/EndIndexScan is leaking some memory...Bruce Momjian
For example, if I run a query, that uses an index scan, and call MemoryContextSt ats (CurrentMemoryContext) before ExecutorStart() and after ExecutorEnd() in ProcessQuery(), I am consistently see ing that the 'after' call shows 256 bytes more used, then 'before'... The problem seems to be in ExecEndIndexScan - it does not release scanstate, ind exstate, indexstate->iss_RelationDescs and indexstate -> iss_ScanDescs... Dmitry Tkach
2002-06-20Update copyright to 2002.Bruce Momjian
2002-06-20Here is a patch for Composite and Set returning function support. I madeBruce Momjian
two small changes to the API since last patch, which hopefully completes the decoupling of composite function support from SRF specific support. Joe Conway
2002-05-24Mark index entries "killed" when they are no longer visible to anyTom Lane
transaction, so as to avoid returning them out of the index AM. Saves repeated heap_fetch operations on frequently-updated rows. Also detect queries on unique keys (equality to all columns of a unique index), and don't bother continuing scan once we have found first match. Killing is implemented in the btree and hash AMs, but not yet in rtree or gist, because there isn't an equally convenient place to do it in those AMs (the outer amgetnext routine can't do it without re-pinning the index page). Did some small cleanup on APIs of HeapTupleSatisfies, heap_fetch, and index_insert to make this a little easier.
2002-05-21Since COPY fires triggers, it seems like a good idea for it to useTom Lane
a frozen (copied) snapshot too. Move execMain's snapshot copying code out into a subroutine in case we find other places that need it.
2002-05-21Remove global variable scanCommandId in favor of storing a command IDTom Lane
in snapshots, per my proposal of a few days ago. Also, tweak heapam.c routines (heap_insert, heap_update, heap_delete, heap_mark4update) to be passed the command ID to use, instead of doing GetCurrentCommandID. For catalog updates they'll still get passed current command ID, but for updates generated from the main executor they'll get passed the command ID saved in the snapshot the query is using. This should fix some corner cases associated with functions and triggers that advance current command ID while an outer query is still in progress.
2002-05-20Restructure indexscan API (index_beginscan, index_getnext) perTom Lane
yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.
