we'll get there one day.
Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.
Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.

--- ie, they're only called for side-effects. Add a PG_RETURN_VOID()
macro and use it where appropriate. This probably doesn't change the
machine code by a single bit ... it's just for documentation.

inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards
fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short
parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still
more to do for the Alpha port however.
|
|
fmgr_faddr() in favor of new-style calls. Lots of cleanup of
sloppy casts to use XXXGetDatum and DatumGetXXX ...
|
|
key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle.
An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL
handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions).
NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.

other than the most common value in a column. We had had 0.5, make it
0.1 to make it more likely that an indexscan will be chosen. Really
need better statistics instead, but this should stem the bleeding
meanwhile ...

(LIKE and regexp matches). These are not yet referenced in pg_operator,
so by default the system will continue to use eqsel/neqsel.
Also, tweak convert_to_scalar() logic so that common prefixes of strings
are stripped off, allowing better accuracy when all strings in a table
share a common prefix.

to next integer. Previously, if selectivity was small, we could compute
very tiny scan cost on the basis of estimating that only 0.001 tuple
would be fetched, which is silly. This naturally led to some rather
silly plans...

accesses versus sequential accesses, a (very crude) estimate of the
effects of caching on random page accesses, and cost to evaluate WHERE-
clause expressions. Export critical parameters for this model as SET
variables. Also, create SET variables for the planner's enable flags
(enable_seqscan, enable_indexscan, etc) so that these can be controlled
more conveniently than via PGOPTIONS.
Planner now estimates both startup cost (cost before retrieving
first tuple) and total cost of each path, so it can optimize queries
with LIMIT on a reasonable basis by interpolating between these costs.
Same facility is a win for EXISTS(...) subqueries and some other cases.
Redesign pathkey representation to achieve a major speedup in planning
(I saw as much as 5X on a 10-way join); also minor changes in planner
to reduce memory consumption by recycling discarded Path nodes and
not constructing unnecessary lists.
Minor cleanups to display more-plausible costs in some cases in
EXPLAIN output.
Initdb forced by change in interface to index cost estimation
functions.

(ie, WHERE x > lowbound AND x < highbound). It's not very bright yet
but it does something useful. Also, rename intltsel/intgtsel to
scalarltsel/scalargtsel to reflect usage better. Extend convert_to_scalar
to do something a little bit useful with string data types. Still need
to make it do something with date/time datatypes, but I'll wait for
Thomas's datetime unification dust to settle first. Eventually the
routine ought not have any type-specific knowledge at all; it ought to
be calling a type-dependent routine found via a pg_type column; but
that's a task for another day.

an attribute of a tuple previously fetched with SearchSysCacheTuple.
This avoids a lot of redundant cache lookups, particularly in selfuncs.c.
Also, remove SearchSysCacheStruct, which was unused and grotty.

selectivity estimation wasn't right. This is better...

pghackers discussion of 5-Jan-2000. The amopselect and amopnpages
estimators are gone, and in their place is a per-AM amcostestimate
procedure (linked to from pg_am, not pg_amop).

functions, which would lead to trouble with datatypes that paid attention
to the typelem or typmod parameters to these functions. In particular,
incorrect code in pg_aggregate.c explains the platform-specific failures
that have been reported in NUMERIC avg().

code cleanup; no major improvements yet. However, EXPLAIN does produce
more intuitive outputs for nested loops with indexscans now...

Make all system indexes unique.
Make all cache loads use system indexes.
Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables.
Rename cache names to be clearer.

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.

was rejecting negative attnums as bogus, which of course they are not.
Add code to get_attdisbursion to produce a useful value for OID attribute,
since VACUUM does not store stats for system attributes.
Also, repair bug that's been in eqjoinsel for a long time: it was taking
the max of the two columns' disbursions, whereas it should use the min.

failed on 'field < textconstant' ...

Centralize att_disbursion readout logic.

(it should just call the given operator, not look up an = operator).
Fix intltsel() so that all numeric data types are converted to double
before trying to estimate where the given comparison value is in the
known range of column values. intltsel() still needs work, or replacement,
for non-numeric data types ... but for nonintegral numeric types it
should now be delivering reasonable estimates.
|
|
neqsel now behave as per my suggestions in pghackers a few days ago.
selectivity for < > <= >= should work OK for integral types as well, but
still need work for nonintegral types. Since these routines have never
actually executed before :-(, this may result in some significant changes
in the optimizer's choices of execution plans. Let me know if you see
any serious misbehavior.
CAUTION: THESE CHANGES REQUIRE INITDB. pg_statistic table has changed.
