2020-12-01Ensure that expandTableLikeClause() re-examines the same table.Tom Lane
As it stood, expandTableLikeClause() re-did the same relation_openrv call that transformTableLikeClause() had done. However there are scenarios where this would not find the same table as expected. We hold lock on the LIKE source table, so it can't be renamed or dropped, but another table could appear before it in the search path. This explains the odd behavior reported in bug #16758 when cloning a table as a temp table of the same name. This case worked as expected before commit 502898192 introduced the need to open the source table twice, so we should fix it. To make really sure we get the same table, let's re-open it by OID not name. That requires adding an OID field to struct TableLikeClause, which is a little nervous-making from an ABI standpoint, but as long as it's at the end I don't think there's any serious risk. Per bug #16758 from Marc Boeren. Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/16758-840e84a6cfab276d@postgresql.org
2020-11-30Fix missing outfuncs.c support for IncrementalSortPath.Tom Lane
For debugging purposes, Path nodes are supposed to have outfuncs support, but this was overlooked in the original incremental sort patch. While at it, clean up a couple other minor oversights, as well as bizarre choice of return type for create_incremental_sort_path().

2020-09-28Add for_each_from, to simplify loops starting from non-first list cells.Tom Lane
We have a dozen or so places that need to iterate over all but the first cell of a List. Prior to v13 this was typically written as for_each_cell(lc, lnext(list_head(list))) Commit 1cff1b95a changed these to for_each_cell(lc, list, list_second_cell(list)) This patch introduces a new macro for_each_from() which expresses the start point as a list index, allowing these to be written as for_each_from(lc, list, 1) This is marginally more efficient, since ForEachState.i can be initialized directly instead of backing into it from a ListCell address. It also seems clearer and less typo-prone. Some of the remaining uses of for_each_cell() look like they could profitably be changed to for_each_from(), but here I confined myself to changing uses of list_second_cell(). Also, fix for_each_cell_setup() and for_both_cell_setup() to const-ify their arguments; that's a simple oversight in 1cff1b95a. Back-patch into v13, on the grounds that (1) the const-ification is a minor bug fix, and (2) it's better for back-patching purposes if we only have two ways to write these loops rather than three. In HEAD, also remove list_third_cell() and list_fourth_cell(), which were also introduced in 1cff1b95a, and are unused as of cc99baa43. It seems unlikely that any third-party code would have started to use them already; anyone who has can be directed to list_nth_cell instead.

2020-08-19Suppress unnecessary RelabelType nodes in yet more cases.Tom Lane
Commit a477bfc1d fixed eval_const_expressions() to ensure that it didn't generate unnecessary RelabelType nodes, but I failed to notice that some other places in the planner had the same issue. Really noplace in the planner should be using plain makeRelabelType(), for fear of generating expressions that should be equal() to semantically equivalent trees, but aren't. An example is that because canonicalize_ec_expression() failed to be careful about this, we could end up with an equivalence class containing both a plain Const, and a Const-with-RelabelType representing exactly the same value. So far as I can tell this led to no visible misbehavior, but we did waste a bunch of cycles generating and evaluating "Const = Const-with-RelabelType" to prove such entries are redundant. Hence, move the support function added by a477bfc1d to where it can be more generally useful, and use it in the places where planner code previously used makeRelabelType. Back-patch to v12, like the previous patch. While I have no concrete evidence of any real misbehavior here, it's certainly possible that I overlooked a case where equivalent expressions that aren't equal() could cause a user-visible problem. In any case carrying extra RelabelType nodes through planning to execution isn't very desirable. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/1311836.1597781384@sss.pgh.pa.us

2020-05-01Get rid of trailing semicolons in C macro definitions.Tom Lane
Writing a trailing semicolon in a macro is almost never the right thing, because you almost always want to write a semicolon after each macro call instead. (Even if there was some reason to prefer not to, pgindent would probably make a hash of code formatted that way; so within PG the rule should basically be "don't do it".) Thus, if we have a semi inside the macro, the compiler sees "something;;". Much of the time the extra empty statement is harmless, but it could lead to mysterious syntax errors at call sites. In perhaps an overabundance of neatnik-ism, let's run around and get rid of the excess semicolons whereever possible. The only thing worse than a mysterious syntax error is a mysterious syntax error that only happens in the back branches; therefore, backpatch these changes where relevant, which is most of them because most of these mistakes are old. (The lack of reported problems shows that this is largely a hypothetical issue, but still, it could bite us in some future patch.)

2020-04-08Allow partitionwise joins in more cases.Etsuro Fujita
Previously, the partitionwise join technique only allowed partitionwise join when input partitioned tables had exactly the same partition bounds. This commit extends the technique to some cases when the tables have different partition bounds, by using an advanced partition-matching algorithm introduced by this commit. For both the input partitioned tables, the algorithm checks whether every partition of one input partitioned table only matches one partition of the other input partitioned table at most, and vice versa. In such a case the join between the tables can be broken down into joins between the matching partitions, so the algorithm produces the pairs of the matching partitions, plus the partition bounds for the join relation, to allow partitionwise join for computing the join. Currently, the algorithm works for list-partitioned and range-partitioned tables, but not hash-partitioned tables. See comments in partition_bounds_merge().

WITH TIES is an option to the FETCH FIRST N ROWS clause (the SQL standard's spelling of LIMIT), where you additionally get rows that compare equal to the last of those N rows by the columns in the mandatory ORDER BY clause. There was a proposal by Andrew Gierth to implement this functionality in a more powerful way that would yield more features, but the other patch had not been finished at this time, so we decided to use this one for now in the spirit of incremental development.

2020-04-06Implement Incremental SortTomas Vondra
Incremental Sort is an optimized variant of multikey sort for cases when the input is already sorted by a prefix of the requested sort keys. For example when the relation is already sorted by (key1, key2) and we need to sort it by (key1, key2, key3) we can simply split the input rows into groups having equal values in (key1, key2), and only sort/compare the remaining column key3. This has a number of benefits: - Reduced memory consumption, because only a single group (determined by values in the sorted prefix) needs to be kept in memory. This may also eliminate the need to spill to disk. - Lower startup cost, because Incremental Sort produce results after each prefix group, which is beneficial for plans where startup cost matters (like for example queries with LIMIT clause). We consider both Sort and Incremental Sort, and decide based on costing. The implemented algorithm operates in two different modes: - Fetching a minimum number of tuples without check of equality on the prefix keys, and sorting on all columns when safe. - Fetching all tuples for a single prefix group and then sorting by comparing only the remaining (non-prefix) keys. We always start in the first mode, and employ a heuristic to switch into the second mode if we believe it's beneficial - the goal is to minimize the number of unnecessary comparions while keeping memory consumption below work_mem. This is a very old patch series. The idea was originally proposed by Alexander Korotkov back in 2013, and then revived in 2017. In 2018 the patch was taken over by James Coleman, who wrote and rewrote most of the current code. There were many reviewers/contributors since 2013 - I've done my best to pick the most active ones, and listed them in this commit message.

2020-04-04Skip WAL for new relfilenodes, under wal_level=minimal.Noah Misch
Until now, only selected bulk operations (e.g. COPY) did this. If a given relfilenode received both a WAL-skipping COPY and a WAL-logged operation (e.g. INSERT), recovery could lose tuples from the COPY. See src/backend/access/transam/README section "Skipping WAL for New RelFileNode" for the new coding rules. Maintainers of table access methods should examine that section. To maintain data durability, just before commit, we choose between an fsync of the relfilenode and copying its contents to WAL. A new GUC, wal_skip_threshold, guides that choice. If this change slows a workload that creates small, permanent relfilenodes under wal_level=minimal, try adjusting wal_skip_threshold. Users setting a timeout on COMMIT may need to adjust that timeout, and log_min_duration_statement analysis will reflect time consumption moving to COMMIT from commands like COPY. Internally, this requires a reliable determination of whether RollbackAndReleaseCurrentSubTransaction() would unlink a relation's current relfilenode. Introduce rd_firstRelfilenodeSubid. Amend the specification of rd_createSubid such that the field is zero when a new rel has an old rd_node. Make relcache.c retain entries for certain dropped relations until end of transaction. Bump XLOG_PAGE_MAGIC, since this introduces XLOG_GIST_ASSIGN_LSN. Future servers accept older WAL, so this bump is discretionary.

2020-04-02Improve user control over truncation of logged bind-parameter values.Tom Lane
This patch replaces the boolean GUC log_parameters_on_error introduced by commit ba79cb5dc with an integer log_parameter_max_length_on_error, adding the ability to specify how many bytes to trim each logged parameter value to. (The previous coding hard-wired that choice at 64 bytes.) In addition, add a new parameter log_parameter_max_length that provides similar control over truncation of query parameters that are logged in response to statement-logging options, as opposed to errors. Previous releases always logged such parameters in full, possibly causing log bloat. For backwards compatibility with prior releases, log_parameter_max_length defaults to -1 (log in full), while log_parameter_max_length_on_error defaults to 0 (no logging). Per discussion, log_parameter_max_length is SUSET since the DBA should control routine logging behavior, but log_parameter_max_length_on_error is USERSET because it also affects errcontext data sent back to the client.

2020-03-30Implement operator class parametersAlexander Korotkov
PostgreSQL provides set of template index access methods, where opclasses have much freedom in the semantics of indexing. These index AMs are GiST, GIN, SP-GiST and BRIN. There opclasses define representation of keys, operations on them and supported search strategies. So, it's natural that opclasses may be faced some tradeoffs, which require user-side decision. This commit implements opclass parameters allowing users to set some values, which tell opclass how to index the particular dataset. This commit doesn't introduce new storage in system catalog. Instead it uses pg_attribute.attoptions, which is used for table column storage options but unused for index attributes. In order to evade changing signature of each opclass support function, we implement unified way to pass options to opclass support functions. Options are set to fn_expr as the constant bytea expression. It's possible due to the fact that opclass support functions are executed outside of expressions, so fn_expr is unused for them. This commit comes with some examples of opclass options usage. We parametrize signature length in GiST. That applies to multiple opclasses: tsvector_ops, gist__intbig_ops, gist_ltree_ops, gist__ltree_ops, gist_trgm_ops and gist_hstore_ops. Also we parametrize maximum number of integer ranges for gist__int_ops. However, the main future usage of this feature is expected to be json, where users would be able to specify which way to index particular json parts. Catversion is bumped.

2020-03-06Allow ALTER TYPE to change some properties of a base type.Tom Lane
Specifically, this patch allows ALTER TYPE to: * Change the default TOAST strategy for a toastable base type; * Promote a non-toastable type to toastable; * Add/remove binary I/O functions for a type; * Add/remove typmod I/O functions for a type; * Add/remove a custom ANALYZE statistics functions for a type. The first of these can be done by the type's owner; all the others require superuser privilege since misuse could cause problems. The main motivation for this patch is to allow extensions to upgrade the feature sets of their data types, so the set of alterable properties is biased towards that use-case. However it's also true that changing some other properties would be a lot harder, as they get baked into physical storage and/or stored expressions that depend on the type. Along the way, refactor GenerateTypeDependencies() to make it easier to call, refactor DefineType's volatility checks so they can be shared by AlterType, and teach typcache.c that it might have to reload data from the type's pg_type row, a scenario it never handled before. Also rearrange alter_type.sgml a bit for clarity (put the composite-type operations together). Tomas Vondra and Tom Lane Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20200228004440.b23ein4qvmxnlpht@development

2020-01-09Reconsider the representation of join alias Vars.Tom Lane
The core idea of this patch is to make the parser generate join alias Vars (that is, ones with varno pointing to a JOIN RTE) only when the alias Var is actually different from any raw join input, that is a type coercion and/or COALESCE is necessary to generate the join output value. Otherwise just generate varno/varattno pointing to the relevant join input column. In effect, this means that the planner's flatten_join_alias_vars() transformation is already done in the parser, for all cases except (a) columns that are merged by JOIN USING and are transformed in the process, and (b) whole-row join Vars. In principle that would allow us to skip doing flatten_join_alias_vars() in many more queries than we do now, but we don't have quite enough infrastructure to know that we can do so --- in particular there's no cheap way to know whether there are any whole-row join Vars. I'm not sure if it's worth the trouble to add a Query-level flag for that, and in any case it seems like fit material for a separate patch. But even without skipping the work entirely, this should make flatten_join_alias_vars() faster, particularly where there are nested joins that it previously had to flatten recursively. An essential part of this change is to replace Var nodes' varnoold/varoattno fields with varnosyn/varattnosyn, which have considerably more tightly-defined meanings than the old fields: when they differ from varno/varattno, they identify the Var's position in an aliased JOIN RTE, and the join alias is what ruleutils.c should print for the Var. This is necessary because the varno change destroyed ruleutils.c's ability to find the JOIN RTE from the Var's varno. Another way in which this change broke ruleutils.c is that it's no longer feasible to determine, from a JOIN RTE's joinaliasvars list, which join columns correspond to which columns of the join's immediate input relations. (If those are sub-joins, the joinaliasvars entries may point to columns of their base relations, not the sub-joins.) But that was a horrid mess requiring a lot of fragile assumptions already, so let's just bite the bullet and add some more JOIN RTE fields to make it more straightforward to figure that out. I added two integer-List fields containing the relevant column numbers from the left and right input rels, plus a count of how many merged columns there are. This patch depends on the ParseNamespaceColumn infrastructure that I added in commit 5815696bc. The biggest bit of code change is restructuring transformFromClauseItem's handling of JOINs so that the ParseNamespaceColumn data is propagated upward correctly. Other than that and the ruleutils fixes, everything pretty much just works, though some processing is now inessential. I grabbed two pieces of low-hanging fruit in that line: 1. In find_expr_references, we don't need to recurse into join alias Vars anymore. There aren't any except for references to merged USING columns, which are more properly handled when we scan the join's RTE. This change actually fixes an edge-case issue: we will now record a dependency on any type-coercion function present in a USING column's joinaliasvar, even if that join column has no references in the query text. The odds of the missing dependency causing a problem seem quite small: you'd have to posit somebody dropping an implicit cast between two data types, without removing the types themselves, and then having a stored rule containing a whole-row Var for a join whose USING merge depends on that cast. So I don't feel a great need to change this in the back branches. But in theory this way is more correct. 2. markRTEForSelectPriv and markTargetListOrigin don't need to recurse into join alias Vars either, because the cases they care about don't apply to alias Vars for USING columns that are semantically distinct from the underlying columns. This removes the only case in which markVarForSelectPriv could be called with NULL for the RTE, so adjust the comments to describe that hack as being strictly internal to markRTEForSelectPriv. catversion bump required due to changes in stored rules.

2019-12-14Prevent overly-aggressive collapsing of joins to RTE_RESULT relations.Tom Lane
The RTE_RESULT simplification logic added by commit 4be058fe9 had a flaw: it would collapse out a RTE_RESULT that is due to compute a PlaceHolderVar, and reassign the PHV to the parent join level, even if another input relation of the join contained a lateral reference to the PHV. That can't work because the PHV would be computed too late. In practice it led to failures of internal sanity checks later in planning (either assertion failures or errors such as "failed to construct the join relation"). To fix, add code to check for the presence of such PHVs in relevant portions of the query tree. Notably, this required refactoring range_table_walker so that a caller could ask to walk individual RTEs not the whole list. (It might be a good idea to refactor range_table_mutator in the same way, if only to keep those functions looking similar; but I didn't do so here as it wasn't necessary for the bug fix.)

2019-12-11Add readfuncs.c support for AppendRelInfo.Tom Lane
This is made necessary by the fact that commit 6ef77cf46 added AppendRelInfos to plan trees. I'd concluded that this extra code was not necessary because we don't transmit that data to parallel workers ... but I forgot about -DWRITE_READ_PARSE_PLAN_TREES. Per buildfarm.
2019-12-11Further adjust EXPLAIN's choices of table alias names.Tom Lane
This patch causes EXPLAIN to always assign a separate table alias to the parent RTE of an append relation (inheritance set); before, such RTEs were ignored if not actually scanned by the plan. Since the child RTEs now always have that same alias to start with (cf. commit 55a1954da), the net effect is that the parent RTE usually gets the alias used or implied by the query text, and the children all get that alias with "_N" appended. (The exception to "usually" is if there are duplicate aliases in different subtrees of the original query; then some of those original RTEs will also have "_N" appended.) This results in more uniform output for partitioned-table plans than we had before: the partitioned table itself gets the original alias, and all child tables have aliases with "_N", rather than the previous behavior where one of the children would get an alias without "_N". The reason for giving the parent RTE an alias, even if it isn't scanned by the plan, is that we now use the parent's alias to qualify Vars that refer to an appendrel output column and appear above the Append or MergeAppend that computes the appendrel. But below the append, Vars refer to some one of the child relations, and are displayed that way. This seems clearer than the old behavior where a Var that could carry values from any child relation was displayed as if it referred to only one of them. While at it, change ruleutils.c so that the code paths used by EXPLAIN deal in Plan trees not PlanState trees. This effectively reverts a decision made in commit 1cc29fe7c, which seemed like a good idea at the time to make ruleutils.c consistent with explain.c. However, it's problematic because we'd really like to allow executor startup pruning to remove all the children of an append node when possible, leaving no child PlanState to resolve Vars against. (That's not done here, but will be in the next patch.) This requires different handling of subplans and initplans than before, but is otherwise a pretty straightforward change.

When maintaining or merging patches, one of the most common sources for conflicts are the list of objects in makefiles. Especially when the split across lines has been changed on both sides, which is somewhat common due to attempting to stay below 80 columns, those conflicts are unnecessarily laborious to resolve. By splitting, and alphabetically sorting, OBJS style lines into one object per line, conflicts should be less frequent, and easier to resolve when they still occur.

2019-10-06Avoid trying to release a List's initial allocation via repalloc().Tom Lane
Commit 1cff1b95a included some code that supposed it could repalloc() a memory chunk to a smaller size without risk of the chunk moving. That was not a great idea, because it depended on undocumented behavior of AllocSetRealloc, which commit c477f3e44 changed thereby breaking it. (Not to mention that this code ought to work with other memory context types, which might not work the same...) So get rid of the repalloc calls, and instead just wipe the now-unused ListCell array and/or tell Valgrind it's NOACCESS, as if we'd freed it. In cases where the initial list allocation had been quite large, this could represent an annoying waste of space. In principle we could ameliorate that by allocating the initial cell array separately when it exceeds some threshold. But that would complicate new_list() which is hot code, and the returns would materialize only in narrow cases. On balance I don't think it'd be worth it.

2019-10-03Selectively include window frames in expression walks/mutates.Andrew Gierth
query_tree_walker and query_tree_mutator were skipping the windowClause of the query, without regard for the fact that the startOffset and endOffset in a WindowClause node are expression trees that need to be processed. This was an oversight in commit ec4be2ee6 from 2010 which added the expression fields; the main symptom is that function parameters in window frame clauses don't work in inlined functions.

2019-09-11Allow setting statistics target for extended statisticsTomas Vondra
When building statistics, we need to decide how many rows to sample and how accurate the resulting statistics should be. Until now, it was not possible to explicitly define statistics target for extended statistics objects, the value was always computed from the per-attribute targets with a fallback to the system-wide default statistics target. That's a bit inconvenient, as it ties together the statistics target set for per-column and extended statistics. In some cases it may be useful to require larger sample / higher accuracy for extended statics (or the other way around), but with this approach that's not possible. So this commit introduces a new command, allowing to specify statistics target for individual extended statistics objects, overriding the value derived from per-attribute targets (and the system default). ALTER STATISTICS stat_name SET STATISTICS target_value; When determining statistics target for an extended statistics object we first look at this explicitly set value. When this value is -1, we fall back to the old formula, looking at the per-attribute targets first and then the system default. This means the behavior is backwards compatible with older PostgreSQL releases.

2019-08-12Rationalize use of list_concat + list_copy combinations.Tom Lane
In the wake of commit 1cff1b95a, the result of list_concat no longer shares the ListCells of the second input. Therefore, we can replace "list_concat(x, list_copy(y))" with just "list_concat(x, y)". To improve call sites that were list_copy'ing the first argument, or both arguments, invent "list_concat_copy()" which produces a new list sharing no ListCells with either input. (This is a bit faster than "list_concat(list_copy(x), y)" because it makes the result list the right size to start with.) In call sites that were not list_copy'ing the second argument, the new semantics mean that we are usually leaking the second List's storage, since typically there is no remaining pointer to it. We considered inventing another list_copy variant that would list_free the second input, but concluded that for most call sites it isn't worth worrying about, given the relative compactness of the new List representation. (Note that in cases where such leakage would happen, the old code already leaked the second List's header; so we're only discussing the size of the leak not whether there is one. I did adjust two or three places that had been troubling to free that header so that they manually free the whole second List.) Patch by me; thanks to David Rowley for review.

2019-08-02Fix representation of hash keys in Hash/HashJoin nodes.Andres Freund
In 5f32b29c1819 I changed the creation of HashState.hashkeys to actually use HashState as the parent (instead of HashJoinState, which was incorrect, as they were executed below HashState), to fix the problem of hashkeys expressions otherwise relying on slot types appropriate for HashJoinState, rather than HashState as would be correct. That reliance was only introduced in 12, which is why it previously worked to use HashJoinState as the parent (although I'd be unsurprised if there were problematic cases). Unfortunately that's not a sufficient solution, because before this commit, the to-be-hashed expressions referenced inner/outer as appropriate for the HashJoin, not Hash. That didn't have obvious bad consequences, because the slots containing the tuples were put into ecxt_innertuple when hashing a tuple for HashState (even though Hash doesn't have an inner plan). There are less common cases where this can cause visible problems however (rather than just confusion when inspecting such executor trees). E.g. "ERROR: bogus varno: 65000", when explaining queries containing a HashJoin where the subsidiary Hash node's hash keys reference a subplan. While normally hashkeys aren't displayed by EXPLAIN, if one of those expressions references a subplan, that subplan may be printed as part of the Hash node - which then failed because an inner plan was referenced, and Hash doesn't have that. It seems quite possible that there's other broken cases, too. Fix the problem by properly splitting the expression for the HashJoin and Hash nodes at plan time, and have them reference the proper subsidiary node. While other workarounds are possible, fixing this correctly seems easy enough. It was a pretty ugly hack to have ExecInitHashJoin put the expression into the already initialized HashState, in the first place. I decided to not just split inner/outer hashkeys inside make_hashjoin(), but also to separate out hashoperators and hashcollations at plan time. Otherwise we would have ended up having two very similar loops, one at plan time and the other during executor startup. The work seems to more appropriately belong to plan time, anyway.

2019-07-29Fix handling of expressions and predicates in REINDEX CONCURRENTLYMichael Paquier
When copying the definition of an index rebuilt concurrently for the new entry, the index information was taken directly from the old index using the relation cache. In this case, predicates and expressions have some post-processing to prepare things for the planner, which loses some information including the collations added in any of them. This inconsistency can cause issues when attempting for example a table rewrite, and makes the new indexes rebuilt concurrently inconsistent with the old entries. In order to fix the problem, fetch expressions and predicates directly from the catalog of the old entry, and fill in IndexInfo for the new index with that. This makes the process more consistent with DefineIndex(), and the code is refactored with the addition of a routine to create an IndexInfo node.

2019-07-21Speed up finding EquivalenceClasses for a given set of relsDavid Rowley
Previously in order to determine which ECs a relation had members in, we had to loop over all ECs stored in PlannerInfo's eq_classes and check if ec_relids mentioned the relation. For the most part, this was fine, as generally, unless queries were fairly complex, the overhead of performing the lookup would have not been that significant. However, when queries contained large numbers of joins and ECs, the overhead to find the set of classes matching a given set of relations could become a significant portion of the overall planning effort. Here we allow a much more efficient method to access the ECs which match a given relation or set of relations. A new Bitmapset field in RelOptInfo now exists to store the indexes into PlannerInfo's eq_classes list which each relation is mentioned in. This allows very fast lookups to find all ECs belonging to a single relation. When we need to lookup ECs belonging to a given pair of relations, we can simply bitwise-AND the Bitmapsets from each relation and use the result to perform the lookup. We also take the opportunity to write a new implementation of generate_join_implied_equalities which makes use of the new indexes. generate_join_implied_equalities_for_ecs must remain as is as it can be given a custom list of ECs, which we can't easily determine the indexes of. This was originally intended to fix the performance penalty of looking up foreign keys matching a join condition which was introduced by 100340e2d. However, we're speeding up much more than just that here. Author: David Rowley, Tom Lane Reviewed-by: Tom Lane, Tomas Vondra Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/6970.1545327857@sss.pgh.pa.us
2019-07-17Avoid using lcons and list_delete_first where it's easy to do so.Tom Lane
Formerly, lcons was about the same speed as lappend, but with the new List implementation, that's not so; with a long List, data movement imposes an O(N) cost on lcons and list_delete_first, but not lappend. Hence, invent list_delete_last with semantics parallel to list_delete_first (but O(1) cost), and change various places to use lappend and list_delete_last where this can be done without much violence to the code logic. There are quite a few places that construct result lists using lcons not lappend. Some have semantic rationales for that; I added comments about it to a couple that didn't have them already. In many such places though, I think the coding is that way only because back in the dark ages lcons was faster than lappend. Hence, switch to lappend where this can be done without causing semantic changes. In ExecInitExprRec(), this results in aggregates and window functions that are in the same plan node being executed in a different order than before. Generally, the executions of such functions ought to be independent of each other, so this shouldn't result in visibly different query results. But if you push it, as one regression test case does, you can show that the order is different. The new order seems saner; it's closer to the order of the functions in the query text. And we never documented or promised anything about this, anyway. Also, in gistfinishsplit(), don't bother building a reverse-order list; it's easy now to iterate backwards through the original list. It'd be possible to go further towards removing uses of lcons and list_delete_first, but it'd require more extensive logic changes, and I'm not convinced it's worth it. Most of the remaining uses deal with queues that probably never get long enough to be worth sweating over. (Actually, I doubt that any of the changes in this patch will have measurable performance effects either. But better to have good examples than bad ones in the code base.)

2019-07-16Remove lappend_cell...() family of List functions.Tom Lane
It seems worth getting rid of these functions because they require the caller to retain a ListCell pointer into a List that it's modifying, which is a dangerous practice with the new List implementation. (The only other List-modifying function that takes a ListCell pointer as input is list_delete_cell, which nowadays is preferentially used via the constrained API foreach_delete_current.) There was only one remaining caller of these functions after commit 2f5b8eb5a, and that was some fairly ugly GEQO code that can be much more clearly expressed using a list-index variable and list_insert_nth. Hence, rewrite that code, and remove the functions. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/26193.1563228600@sss.pgh.pa.us
2019-07-16Clean up some ad-hoc code for sorting and de-duplicating Lists.Tom Lane
heap.c and relcache.c contained nearly identical copies of logic to insert OIDs into an OID list while preserving the list's OID ordering (and rejecting duplicates, in one case but not the other). The comments argue that this is faster than qsort for small numbers of OIDs, which is at best unproven, and seems even less likely to be true now that lappend_cell_oid has to move data around. In any case it's ugly and hard-to-follow code, and if we do have a lot of OIDs to consider, it's O(N^2). Hence, replace with simply lappend'ing OIDs to a List, then list_sort the completed List, then remove adjacent duplicates if necessary. This is demonstrably O(N log N) and it's much simpler for the callers. It's possible that this would be somewhat inefficient if there were a very large number of duplicates, but that seems unlikely in the existing usage. This adds list_deduplicate_oid and list_oid_cmp infrastructure to list.c. I didn't bother with equivalent functionality for integer or pointer Lists, but such could always be added later if we find a use for it.

2019-07-16Redesign the API for list sorting (list_qsort becomes list_sort).Tom Lane
In the wake of commit 1cff1b95a, the obvious way to sort a List is to apply qsort() directly to the array of ListCells. list_qsort was building an intermediate array of pointers-to-ListCells, which we no longer need, but getting rid of it forces an API change: the comparator functions need to do one less level of indirection. Since we're having to touch the callers anyway, let's do two additional changes: sort the given list in-place rather than making a copy (as none of the existing callers have any use for the copying behavior), and rename list_qsort to list_sort. It was argued that the old name exposes more about the implementation than it should, which I find pretty questionable, but a better reason to rename it is to be sure we get the attention of any external callers about the need to fix their comparator functions. While we're at it, change four existing callers of qsort() to use list_sort instead; previously, they all had local reinventions of list_qsort, ie build-an-array-from-a-List-and-qsort-it. (There are some other places where changing to list_sort perhaps would be worthwhile, but they're less obviously wins.) Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/29361.1563220190@sss.pgh.pa.us
2019-07-15Represent Lists as expansible arrays, not chains of cons-cells.Tom Lane
Originally, Postgres Lists were a more or less exact reimplementation of Lisp lists, which consist of chains of separately-allocated cons cells, each having a value and a next-cell link. We'd hacked that once before (commit d0b4399d8) to add a separate List header, but the data was still in cons cells. That makes some operations -- notably list_nth() -- O(N), and it's bulky because of the next-cell pointers and per-cell palloc overhead, and it's very cache-unfriendly if the cons cells end up scattered around rather than being adjacent. In this rewrite, we still have List headers, but the data is in a resizable array of values, with no next-cell links. Now we need at most two palloc's per List, and often only one, since we can allocate some values in the same palloc call as the List header. (Of course, extending an existing List may require repalloc's to enlarge the array. But this involves just O(log N) allocations not O(N).) Of course this is not without downsides. The key difficulty is that addition or deletion of a list entry may now cause other entries to move, which it did not before. For example, that breaks foreach() and sister macros, which historically used a pointer to the current cons-cell as loop state. We can repair those macros transparently by making their actual loop state be an integer list index; the exposed "ListCell *" pointer is no longer state carried across loop iterations, but is just a derived value. (In practice, modern compilers can optimize things back to having just one loop state value, at least for simple cases with inline loop bodies.) In principle, this is a semantics change for cases where the loop body inserts or deletes list entries ahead of the current loop index; but I found no such cases in the Postgres code. The change is not at all transparent for code that doesn't use foreach() but chases lists "by hand" using lnext(). The largest share of such code in the backend is in loops that were maintaining "prev" and "next" variables in addition to the current-cell pointer, in order to delete list cells efficiently using list_delete_cell(). However, we no longer need a previous-cell pointer to delete a list cell efficiently. Keeping a next-cell pointer doesn't work, as explained above, but we can improve matters by changing such code to use a regular foreach() loop and then using the new macro foreach_delete_current() to delete the current cell. (This macro knows how to update the associated foreach loop's state so that no cells will be missed in the traversal.) There remains a nontrivial risk of code assuming that a ListCell * pointer will remain good over an operation that could now move the list contents. To help catch such errors, list.c can be compiled with a new define symbol DEBUG_LIST_MEMORY_USAGE that forcibly moves list contents whenever that could possibly happen. This makes list operations significantly more expensive so it's not normally turned on (though it is on by default if USE_VALGRIND is on). There are two notable API differences from the previous code: * lnext() now requires the List's header pointer in addition to the current cell's address. * list_delete_cell() no longer requires a previous-cell argument. These changes are somewhat unfortunate, but on the other hand code using either function needs inspection to see if it is assuming anything it shouldn't, so it's not all bad. Programmers should be aware of these significant performance changes: * list_nth() and related functions are now O(1); so there's no major access-speed difference between a list and an array. * Inserting or deleting a list element now takes time proportional to the distance to the end of the list, due to moving the array elements. (However, it typically *doesn't* require palloc or pfree, so except in long lists it's probably still faster than before.) Notably, lcons() used to be about the same cost as lappend(), but that's no longer true if the list is long. Code that uses lcons() and list_delete_first() to maintain a stack might usefully be rewritten to push and pop at the end of the list rather than the beginning. * There are now list_insert_nth...() and list_delete_nth...() functions that add or remove a list cell identified by index. These have the data-movement penalty explained above, but there's no search penalty. * list_concat() and variants now copy the second list's data into storage belonging to the first list, so there is no longer any sharing of cells between the input lists. The second argument is now declared "const List *" to reflect that it isn't changed. This patch just does the minimum needed to get the new implementation in place and fix bugs exposed by the regression tests. As suggested by the foregoing, there's a fair amount of followup work remaining to do. Also, the ENABLE_LIST_COMPAT macros are finally removed in this commit. Code using those should have been gone a dozen years ago. Patch by me; thanks to David Rowley, Jesper Pedersen, and others for review. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/11587.1550975080@sss.pgh.pa.us
