2024-07-22Remove grotty use of disable_cost for TID scan plans.Robert Haas
Previously, the code charged disable_cost for CurrentOfExpr, and then subtracted disable_cost from the cost of a TID path that used CurrentOfExpr as the TID qual, effectively disabling all paths except that one. Now, we instead suppress generation of the disabled paths entirely, and generate only the one that the executor will actually understand. With this approach, we do not need to rely on disable_cost being large enough to prevent the wrong path from being chosen, and we save some CPU cycle by avoiding generating paths that we can't actually use. In my opinion, the code is also easier to understand like this. Patch by me. Review by Heikki Linnakangas. Discussion: http://postgr.es/m/591b3596-2ea0-4b8e-99c6-fad0ef2801f5@iki.fi
2024-05-07Prevent RLS filters on ctid from breaking WHERE CURRENT OF <cursor>.Tom Lane
The executor only supports CurrentOfExpr as the sole tidqual of a TidScan plan node. tidpath.c failed to take any particular care about that, but would just take the first ctid equality qual it could find in the target relation's baserestrictinfo list. Originally that was fine because the grammar prevents any other WHERE conditions from being combined with CURRENT OF <cursor>. However, if the relation has RLS visibility policies then those would get included in the list. Should such a policy include a condition on ctid, we'd typically grab the wrong qual and produce a malfunctioning plan. To fix, introduce a simplistic priority ordering scheme for which ctid equality qual to prefer. Real-world cases involving more than one such qual are so rare that it doesn't seem worth going to any great trouble to choose one over another, so I didn't work very hard; but this code could be extended in future if someone thinks differently. It's extremely difficult to think of a reasonable use-case for an RLS restriction involving ctid, and certainly we've heard no field reports of this failure. So this doesn't seem worthy of back-patching, but in the name of cleanliness let's fix it going forward. Patch by me, per report from Robert Haas.

2024-03-04Remove unused #include's from backend .c filesPeter Eisentraut
as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU) While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more specific #include replaces another less specific one. Some manual adjustments of the automatic result: - IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so those includes are being kept manually. - All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to play it safe. - No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the patch from exploding in size. Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in header files changes in hidden ways. As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

2023-01-30Make Vars be outer-join-aware.Tom Lane
Traditionally we used the same Var struct to represent the value of a table column everywhere in parse and plan trees. This choice predates our support for SQL outer joins, and it's really a pretty bad idea with outer joins, because the Var's value can depend on where it is in the tree: it might go to NULL above an outer join. So expression nodes that are equal() per equalfuncs.c might not represent the same value, which is a huge correctness hazard for the planner. To improve this, decorate Var nodes with a bitmapset showing which outer joins (identified by RTE indexes) may have nulled them at the point in the parse tree where the Var appears. This allows us to trust that equal() Vars represent the same value. A certain amount of klugery is still needed to cope with cases where we re-order two outer joins, but it's possible to make it work without sacrificing that core principle. PlaceHolderVars receive similar decoration for the same reason. In the planner, we include these outer join bitmapsets into the relids that an expression is considered to depend on, and in consequence also add outer-join relids to the relids of join RelOptInfos. This allows us to correctly perceive whether an expression can be calculated above or below a particular outer join. This change affects FDWs that want to plan foreign joins. They *must* follow suit when labeling foreign joins in order to match with the core planner, but for many purposes (if postgres_fdw is any guide) they'd prefer to consider only base relations within the join. To support both requirements, redefine ForeignScan.fs_relids as base+OJ relids, and add a new field fs_base_relids that's set up by the core planner. Large though it is, this commit just does the minimum necessary to install the new mechanisms and get check-world passing again. Follow-up patches will perform some cleanup. (The README additions and comments mention some stuff that will appear in the follow-up.) Patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for review.

2021-02-27Add TID Range Scans to support efficient scanning ranges of TIDsDavid Rowley
This adds a new executor node named TID Range Scan. The query planner will generate paths for TID Range scans when quals are discovered on base relations which search for ranges on the table's ctid column. These ranges may be open at either end. For example, WHERE ctid >= '(10,0)'; will return all tuples on page 10 and over. To support this, two new optional callback functions have been added to table AM. scan_set_tidrange is used to set the scan range to just the given range of TIDs. scan_getnextslot_tidrange fetches the next tuple in the given range. For AMs were scanning ranges of TIDs would not make sense, these functions can be set to NULL in the TableAmRoutine. The query planner won't generate TID Range Scan Paths in that case.

2021-01-21Fix pull_varnos' miscomputation of relids set for a PlaceHolderVar.Tom Lane
Previously, pull_varnos() took the relids of a PlaceHolderVar as being equal to the relids in its contents, but that fails to account for the possibility that we have to postpone evaluation of the PHV due to outer joins. This could result in a malformed plan. The known cases end up triggering the "failed to assign all NestLoopParams to plan nodes" sanity check in createplan.c, but other symptoms may be possible. The right value to use is the join level we actually intend to evaluate the PHV at. We can get that from the ph_eval_at field of the associated PlaceHolderInfo. However, there are some places that call pull_varnos() before the PlaceHolderInfos have been created; in that case, fall back to the conservative assumption that the PHV will be evaluated at its syntactic level. (In principle this might result in missing some legal optimization, but I'm not aware of any cases where it's an issue in practice.) Things are also a bit ticklish for calls occurring during deconstruct_jointree(), but AFAICS the ph_eval_at fields should have reached their final values by the time we need them. The main problem in making this work is that pull_varnos() has no way to get at the PlaceHolderInfos. We can fix that easily, if a bit tediously, in HEAD by passing it the planner "root" pointer. In the back branches that'd cause an unacceptable API/ABI break for extensions, so leave the existing entry points alone and add new ones with the additional parameter. (If an old entry point is called and encounters a PHV, it'll fall back to using the syntactic level, again possibly missing some valid optimization.) Back-patch to v12. The computation is surely also wrong before that, but it appears that we cannot reach a bad plan thanks to join order restrictions imposed on the subquery that the PlaceHolderVar came from. The error only became reachable when commit 4be058fe9 allowed trivial subqueries to be collapsed out completely, eliminating their join order restrictions. Per report from Stephan Springl.

2019-01-29Refactor planner's header files.Tom Lane
Create a new header optimizer/optimizer.h, which exposes just the planner functions that can be used "at arm's length", without need to access Paths or the other planner-internal data structures defined in nodes/relation.h. This is intended to provide the whole planner API seen by most of the rest of the system; although FDWs still need to use additional stuff, and more thought is also needed about just what selfuncs.c should rely on. The main point of doing this now is to limit the amount of new #include baggage that will be needed by "planner support functions", which I expect to introduce later, and which will be in relevant datatype modules rather than anywhere near the planner. This commit just moves relevant declarations into optimizer.h from other header files (a couple of which go away because everything got moved), and adjusts #include lists to match. There's further cleanup that could be done if we want to decide that some stuff being exposed by optimizer.h doesn't belong in the planner at all, but I'll leave that for another day.

2019-01-29Make some small planner API cleanups.Tom Lane
Move a few very simple node-creation and node-type-testing functions from the planner's clauses.c to nodes/makefuncs and nodes/nodeFuncs. There's nothing planner-specific about them, as evidenced by the number of other places that were using them. While at it, rename and_clause() etc to is_andclause() etc, to clarify that they are node-type-testing functions not node-creation functions. And use "static inline" implementations for the shortest ones. Also, modify flatten_join_alias_vars() and some subsidiary functions to take a Query not a PlannerInfo to define the join structure that Vars should be translated according to. They were only using the "parse" field of the PlannerInfo anyway, so this just requires removing one level of indirection. The advantage is that now parse_agg.c can use flatten_join_alias_vars() without the horrid kluge of creating an incomplete PlannerInfo, which will allow that file to be decoupled from relation.h in a subsequent patch.

2018-12-31Fix oversight in commit b5415e3c2187ab304390524f5ae66b4bd2c58279.Tom Lane
While rearranging code in tidpath.c, I overlooked the fact that we ought to check restriction_is_securely_promotable when trying to use a join clause as a TID qual. Since tideq itself is leakproof, this wouldn't really allow any interesting leak AFAICT, but it still seems like we had better check it. For consistency with the corresponding logic in indxpath.c, also check rinfo->pseudoconstant. I'm not sure right now that it's possible for that to be set in a join clause, but if it were, a match couldn't be made anyway.
2018-12-30Support parameterized TidPaths.Tom Lane
Up to now we've not worried much about joins where the join key is a relation's CTID column, reasoning that storing a table's CTIDs in some other table would be pretty useless. However, there are use-cases for this sort of query involving self-joins, so that argument doesn't really hold water. This patch allows generating plans for joins on CTID that use a nestloop with inner TidScan, similar to what we might do with an index on the join column. This is the most efficient way to join when the outer side of the nestloop is expected to yield relatively few rows. This change requires upgrading tidpath.c and the generated TidPaths to work with RestrictInfos instead of bare qual clauses, but that's long-postponed technical debt anyway.

2017-01-18Improve RLS planning by marking individual quals with security levels.Tom Lane
In an RLS query, we must ensure that security filter quals are evaluated before ordinary query quals, in case the latter contain "leaky" functions that could expose the contents of sensitive rows. The original implementation of RLS planning ensured this by pushing the scan of a secured table into a sub-query that it marked as a security-barrier view. Unfortunately this results in very inefficient plans in many cases, because the sub-query cannot be flattened and gets planned independently of the rest of the query. To fix, drop the use of sub-queries to enforce RLS qual order, and instead mark each qual (RestrictInfo) with a security_level field establishing its priority for evaluation. Quals must be evaluated in security_level order, except that "leakproof" quals can be allowed to go ahead of quals of lower security_level, if it's helpful to do so. This has to be enforced within the ordering of any one list of quals to be evaluated at a table scan node, and we also have to ensure that quals are not chosen for early evaluation (i.e., use as an index qual or TID scan qual) if they're not allowed to go ahead of other quals at the scan node. This is sufficient to fix the problem for RLS quals, since we only support RLS policies on simple tables and thus RLS quals will always exist at the table scan level only. Eventually these qual ordering rules should be enforced for join quals as well, which would permit improving planning for explicit security-barrier views; but that's a task for another patch. Note that FDWs would need to be aware of these rules --- and not, for example, send an insecure qual for remote execution --- but since we do not yet allow RLS policies on foreign tables, the case doesn't arise. This will need to be addressed before we can allow such policies. Patch by me, reviewed by Stephen Frost and Dean Rasheed. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/8185.1477432701@sss.pgh.pa.us

2013-08-17Fix planner problems with LATERAL references in PlaceHolderVars.Tom Lane
The planner largely failed to consider the possibility that a PlaceHolderVar's expression might contain a lateral reference to a Var coming from somewhere outside the PHV's syntactic scope. We had a previous report of a problem in this area, which I tried to fix in a quick-hack way in commit 4da6439bd8553059766011e2a42c6e39df08717f, but Antonin Houska pointed out that there were still some problems, and investigation turned up other issues. This patch largely reverts that commit in favor of a more thoroughly thought-through solution. The new theory is that a PHV's ph_eval_at level cannot be higher than its original syntactic level. If it contains lateral references, those don't change the ph_eval_at level, but rather they create a lateral-reference requirement for the ph_eval_at join relation. The code in joinpath.c needs to handle that. Another issue is that createplan.c wasn't handling nested PlaceHolderVars properly. In passing, push knowledge of lateral-reference checks for join clauses into join_clause_is_movable_to. This is mainly so that FDWs don't need to deal with it. This patch doesn't fix the original join-qual-placement problem reported by Jeremy Evans (and indeed, one of the new regression test cases shows the wrong answer because of that). But the PlaceHolderVar problems need to be fixed before that issue can be addressed, so committing this separately seems reasonable.

2012-08-26Fix up planner infrastructure to support LATERAL properly.Tom Lane
This patch takes care of a number of problems having to do with failure to choose valid join orders and incorrect handling of lateral references pulled up from subqueries. Notable changes: * Add a LateralJoinInfo data structure similar to SpecialJoinInfo, to represent join ordering constraints created by lateral references. (I first considered extending the SpecialJoinInfo structure, but the semantics are different enough that a separate data structure seems better.) Extend join_is_legal() and related functions to prevent trying to form unworkable joins, and to ensure that we will consider joins that satisfy lateral references even if the joins would be clauseless. * Fill in the infrastructure needed for the last few types of relation scan paths to support parameterization. We'd have wanted this eventually anyway, but it is necessary now because a relation that gets pulled up out of a UNION ALL subquery may acquire a reltargetlist containing lateral references, meaning that its paths *have* to be parameterized whether or not we have any code that can push join quals down into the scan. * Compute data about lateral references early in query_planner(), and save in RelOptInfo nodes, to avoid repetitive calculations later. * Assorted corner-case bug fixes. There's probably still some bugs left, but this is a lot closer to being real than it was before.

2004-05-26Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway
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.
