2015-11-02Fix problems with ParamListInfo serialization mechanism.Robert Haas
Commit d1b7c1ffe72e86932b5395f29e006c3f503bc53d introduced a mechanism for serializing a ParamListInfo structure to be passed to a parallel worker. However, this mechanism failed to handle external expanded values, as pointed out by Noah Misch. Repair. Moreover, plpgsql_param_fetch requires adjustment because the serialization mechanism needs it to skip evaluating unused parameters just as we would do when it is called from copyParamList, but params == estate->paramLI in that case. To fix, make the bms_is_member test in that function unconditional. Finally, have setup_param_list set a new ParamListInfo field, paramMask, to the parameters actually used in the expression, so that we don't try to fetch those that are not needed when serializing a parameter list. This isn't necessary for correctness, but it makes the performance of the parallel executor code comparable to what we do for cases involving cursors. Design suggestions and extensive review by Noah Misch. Patch by me.
2015-09-28Parallel executor support.Robert Haas
This code provides infrastructure for a parallel leader to start up parallel workers to execute subtrees of the plan tree being executed in the master. User-supplied parameters from ParamListInfo are passed down, but PARAM_EXEC parameters are not. Various other constructs, such as initplans, subplans, and CTEs, are also not currently shared. Nevertheless, there's enough here to support a basic implementation of parallel query, and we can lift some of the current restrictions as needed. Amit Kapila and Robert Haas
2015-05-14Support "expanded" objects, particularly arrays, for better performance.Tom Lane
This patch introduces the ability for complex datatypes to have an in-memory representation that is different from their on-disk format. On-disk formats are typically optimized for minimal size, and in any case they can't contain pointers, so they are often not well-suited for computation. Now a datatype can invent an "expanded" in-memory format that is better suited for its operations, and then pass that around among the C functions that operate on the datatype. There are also provisions (rudimentary as yet) to allow an expanded object to be modified in-place under suitable conditions, so that operations like assignment to an element of an array need not involve copying the entire array. The initial application for this feature is arrays, but it is not hard to foresee using it for other container types like JSON, XML and hstore. I have hopes that it will be useful to PostGIS as well. In this initial implementation, a few heuristics have been hard-wired into plpgsql to improve performance for arrays that are stored in plpgsql variables. We would like to generalize those hacks so that other datatypes can obtain similar improvements, but figuring out some appropriate APIs is left as a task for future work. (The heuristics themselves are probably not optimal yet, either, as they sometimes force expansion of arrays that would be better left alone.) Preliminary performance testing shows impressive speed gains for plpgsql functions that do element-by-element access or update of large arrays. There are other cases that get a little slower, as a result of added array format conversions; but we can hope to improve anything that's annoyingly bad. In any case most applications should see a net win. Tom Lane, reviewed by Andres Freund

2007-04-06Support varlena fields with single-byte headers and unaligned storage.Tom Lane
This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple (without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields. While all available regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and cranny, especially in contrib. Greg Stark with some help from Tom Lane
2007-02-27Replace direct assignments to VARATT_SIZEP(x) with SET_VARSIZE(x, len).Tom Lane
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly; and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope to play any games with the representation of varlena headers. Greg Stark and Tom 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.

2001-07-15Restructure index AM interface for index building and index tuple deletion,Tom Lane
per previous discussion on pghackers. Most of the duplicate code in different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about inserting recently-dead tuples, etc. (I also removed support for EXTEND INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and it cluttered the code a lot.) The retail indextuple deletion routines have been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside the access method. I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet, but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping for deletions. Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns. Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this, gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with the performance problems we've heard about occasionally). Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static state that needs to be reset after an error. We discovered this need long ago for btree, but missed the other guys. Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.
