1999-10-08Remove a no-longer-needed kluge for degenerate aggregate cases,Tom Lane
and update some comments.
1999-10-07Fix planner and rewriter to follow SQL semantics for tables that areTom Lane
mentioned in FROM but not elsewhere in the query: such tables should be joined over anyway. Aside from being more standards-compliant, this allows removal of some very ugly hacks for COUNT(*) processing. Also, allow HAVING clause without aggregate functions, since SQL does. Clean up CREATE RULE statement-list syntax the same way Bruce just fixed the main stmtmulti production. CAUTION: addition of a field to RangeTblEntry nodes breaks stored rules; you will have to initdb if you have any rules.
1999-09-29This is part #1 for of the DEFERRED CONSTRAINT TRIGGER support.Jan Wieck
Implements the CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER and SET CONSTRAINTS commands. TODO: Generic builtin trigger procedures Automatic execution of appropriate CREATE CONSTRAINT... at CREATE TABLE Support of new trigger type in pg_dump Swapping of huge # of events to disk Jan
1999-09-28Fix nodeAgg coredump in case where lower-level plan hasTom Lane
an empty targetlist *and* fails to return any tuples, as will happen for example with 'SELECT COUNT(1) FROM table WHERE ...' if the where- clause selects no tuples. It's so nice to make a fix by diking out code, instead of adding more...
1999-09-26Modify nodeAgg.c so that no rows are returned for a GROUP BYTom Lane
with no input rows, per pghackers discussions around 7/22/99. Clean up a bunch of ugly coding while at it; remove redundant re-lookup of aggregate info at start of each new GROUP. Arrange to pfree intermediate values when they are pass-by-ref types, so that aggregates on pass-by-ref types no longer eat memory. This takes care of a couple of TODO items...
1999-09-26Implement constant-expression simplification per BernardTom Lane
Frankpitt, plus some improvements from yours truly. The simplifier depends on the proiscachable field of pg_proc to tell it whether a function is safe to pre-evaluate --- things like nextval() are not, for example. Update pg_proc.h to contain reasonable cacheability information; as of 6.5.* hardly any functions were marked cacheable. I may have erred too far in the other direction; see recent mail to pghackers for more info. This update does not force an initdb, exactly, but you won't see much benefit from the simplifier until you do one.
1999-09-24Several changes here, not very related but touching some of the same files.Tom Lane
* Buffer refcount cleanup (per my "progress report" to pghackers, 9/22). * Add links to backend PROC structs to sinval's array of per-backend info, and use these links for routines that need to check the state of all backends (rather than the slow, complicated search of the ShmemIndex hashtable that was used before). Add databaseOID to PROC structs. * Use this to implement an interlock that prevents DESTROY DATABASE of a database containing running backends. (It's a little tricky to prevent a concurrently-starting backend from getting in there, since the new backend is not able to lock anything at the time it tries to look up its database in pg_database. My solution is to recheck that the DB is OK at the end of InitPostgres. It may not be a 100% solution, but it's a lot better than no interlock at all...) * In ALTER TABLE RENAME, flush buffers for the relation before doing the rename of the physical files, to ensure we don't get failures later from mdblindwrt(). * Update TRUNCATE patch so that it actually compiles against current sources :-(. You should do "make clean all" after pulling these changes.
1999-09-18Fix CASE bug identified by Keith Parks: CASE didn't reliablyTom Lane
treat a NULL condition result as FALSE. Clean up some bogus comments here and there, too.
1999-09-18Mega-commit to make heap_open/heap_openr/heap_close take anTom Lane
additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or 'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi. Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the Relation struct layout slightly. Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.
1999-08-25Revise implementation of SubLinks so that there is a consistent,Tom Lane
documented intepretation of the lefthand and oper fields. Fix a number of obscure problems while at it --- for example, the old code failed if the parser decided to insert a type-coercion function just below the operator of a SubLink. CAUTION: this will break stored rules that contain subplans. You may need to initdb.
1999-08-22Further planner/optimizer cleanups. Move all set_tlist_referencesTom Lane
and fix_opids processing to a single recursive pass over the plan tree executed at the very tail end of planning, rather than haphazardly here and there at different places. Now that tlist Vars do not get modified until the very end, it's possible to get rid of the klugy var_equal and match_varid partial-matching routines, and just use plain equal() throughout the optimizer. This is a step towards allowing merge and hash joins to be done on expressions instead of only Vars ...
1999-08-21Major revision of sort-node handling: push knowledge of queryTom Lane
sort order down into planner, instead of handling it only at the very top level of the planner. This fixes many things. An explicit sort is now avoided if there is a cheaper alternative (typically an indexscan) not only for ORDER BY, but also for the internal sort of GROUP BY. It works even when there is no other reason (such as a WHERE condition) to consider the indexscan. It works for indexes on functions. It works for indexes on functions, backwards. It's just so cool... CAUTION: I have changed the representation of SortClause nodes, therefore THIS UPDATE BREAKS STORED RULES. You will need to initdb.
1999-08-12Add commentary to show that even though ExecInitIndexScan()Tom Lane
contains much code that looks like it will handle indexquals with the index key on either side of the operator, in fact indexquals must have the index key on the left because of limitations of the ScanKey machinery. Perhaps someone will be motivated to fix that someday...

1999-07-19Rewrite parser's handling of INSERT ... SELECT so that processingTom Lane
of the SELECT part of the statement is just like a plain SELECT. All INSERT-specific processing happens after the SELECT parsing is done. This eliminates many problems, e.g. INSERT ... SELECT ... GROUP BY using the wrong column labels. Ensure that DEFAULT clauses are coerced to the target column type, whether or not stored clause produces the right type. Substantial cleanup of parser's array support.
1999-07-17 Move some system includes into c.h, and remove duplicates.Bruce Momjian
1999-07-17Fix incorrect declaration of rtentry as 'ResTarget' where itTom Lane
should be 'RangeTblEntry' ; explain.c had copied the erroneous code.
1999-07-16Final cleanup.Bruce Momjian

1999-07-13Remove S*I comments from Stephan.Bruce Momjian
1999-07-11ExecReScanGroup() forgot to clear grpstate->grp_firstTuple,Tom Lane
thereby guaranteeing wrong results from a rescanned Group node.
1999-06-17Remove QUERY_LIMIT and documenation on same. Change _ALIGN to TYPEALIGNBruce Momjian
for Irix.
1999-06-12When targetlist is NULL, ExecTargetList was passing back aTom Lane
pointer to palloc'd but uninitialized memory. This is not cool; anyone looking at the returned 'tuple' would at best coredump and at worst behave in a bizarre and irreproducible way. Fix it to return a predictable value, namely a correctly-set-up palloc'd tuple containing zero attributes. I believe this fix is both safe and critical.
1999-06-12Reversed out Massimo patch.Bruce Momjian
1999-06-12I don't like last minute patches before the final freeze, but I believe thatBruce Momjian
this one could be useful for people experiencing out-of-memory crashes while executing queries which retrieve or use a very large number of tuples. The problem happens when storage is allocated for functions results used in a large query, for example: select upper(name) from big_table; select big_table.array[1] from big_table; select count(upper(name)) from big_table; This patch is a dirty hack that fixes the out-of-memory problem for the most common cases, like the above ones. It is not the final solution for the problem but it can work for some people, so I'm posting it. The patch should be safe because all changes are under #ifdef. Furthermore the feature can be enabled or disabled at runtime by the `free_tuple_memory' options in the pg_options file. The option is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled at runtime to have any effect. To enable the patch add the follwing line to Makefile.custom: CUSTOM_COPT += -DFREE_TUPLE_MEMORY To enable the option at runtime add the following line to pg_option: free_tuple_memory=1 Massimo
1999-06-09Reset evaluation plan tuple table next free slot counter to 0Vadim B. Mikheev
after ExecEndNode. It must be done! Or we'll be out of free tuple slots very soon, though slots are freed by ExecEndNode and ready for reusing. We didn't see this problem before because of int nSlots = ExecCountSlotsNode(plan); TupleTable tupleTable = ExecCreateTupleTable(nSlots + 10); /* why add ten? - jolly */ code in InitPlan - i.e. extra 10 slots. Simple select uses 3 slots and so it was possible to re-use evaluation plan 3 additional times and didn't get elog(NOTICE, "Plan requires more slots than are available"); elog(ERROR, "send mail to your local executor guru to fix this"); Changes are obvious and shouldn't be problems with them. Though, I added Assert(epqstate->es_tupleTable->next == 0) before EvalPlanQual():ExecInitNode and we'll notice if something is still wrong. Is it better to change Assert to elog(ERROR) ?
1999-06-06I used bad style of comments and ... commented out some code inVadim B. Mikheev
EvalPlanQualNext() when implemented it... -:) Uncommented...
1999-06-03Ensure consistent results when FormSortKeys fails to findTom Lane
all the expected keys (it was returning uninitialized memory).
1999-05-25Another pgindent run. Sorry folks.Bruce Momjian
1999-05-25pgindent run over code.Bruce Momjian
1999-05-18Rewrite hash join to use simple linked lists instead of aTom Lane
fixed-size hashtable. This should prevent 'hashtable out of memory' errors, unless you really do run out of memory. Note: target size for hashtable is now taken from -S postmaster switch, not -B, since it is local memory in the backend rather than shared memory.
1999-05-17Change resjunk to a boolean.Bruce Momjian
1999-05-13Rip out QueryTreeList structure, root and branch. QuerytreeTom Lane
lists are now plain old garden-variety Lists, allocated with palloc, rather than specialized expansible-array data allocated with malloc. This substantially simplifies their handling and eliminates several sources of memory leakage. Several basic types of erroneous queries (syntax error, attempt to insert a duplicate key into a unique index) now demonstrably leak zero bytes per query.
1999-05-10Change error messages to oids come out as %u and not %d. Change has noBruce Momjian
real affect now.
1999-05-09Update hash and join routines to use fd.c's new temp-fileTom Lane
code, instead of not-very-bulletproof stuff they had before.
1999-05-06Fix some nasty coredump bugs in hashjoin. This code was justTom Lane
about certain to fail anytime it decided the relation to be hashed was too big to fit in memory --- the code for 'batching' a series of hashjoins had multiple errors. I've fixed the easier problems. A remaining big problem is that you can get 'hashtable out of memory' if the code's guesstimate about how much overflow space it will need turns out wrong. That will require much more extensive revisions to fix, so I'm committing these fixes now before I start on that problem.
1999-04-29Aggregate functions didn't work on subscripted array references.Tom Lane
Things are better now.
1999-04-19Fix problems seen when result of a subselect was used in anTom Lane
expression context (ie, not at the top level of a WHERE clause). Examples like this one work now: SELECT name, value FROM t1 as touter WHERE (value/(SELECT AVG(value) FROM t1 WHERE name = touter.name)) > 0.75;
1999-04-13There are some bugs about backward scanning usingBruce Momjian
indexes. 1. Index Scan using plural indexids never scan backward as to the order of indexids. 2. The cursor using Index scan is not usable after moving past the end. This patch solves above bugs. Moreover the change of _bt_first() would be useful to extend ORDER BY patch by Jan Wieck for all descending order cases. Hiroshi Inoue
1999-04-07Fix some more hashjoin-related bugs in pg_operator. FixTom Lane
hashjoin's hashFunc() so that it does the right thing with pass-by-value data types (the old code would always return 0 for int2 or char values, which would work but would slow things down a lot). Extend opr_sanity regress test to catch more kinds of errors.

1999-03-19Fix for memory leak in executor with fjIsNull.Bruce Momjian
1999-03-19I suggest the following portability patch, which does notBruce Momjian
change functionality, but makes the code more ANSI C'ish. My AIX xlc compiler barfs on all of these. Can someone please review and apply to current. <<port.patch>> Thanks Andreas
