2025-04-02Change SQL-language functions to use the plan cache.Tom Lane
In the historical implementation of SQL functions (if they don't get inlined), we built plans for all the contained queries at first call within an outer query, and then re-used those plans for the duration of the outer query, and then forgot everything. This was not ideal, not least because the plans could not be customized to specific values of the function's parameters. Our plancache infrastructure seems mature enough to be used here. That will solve both the problem with not being able to build custom plans and the problem with not being able to share work across successive outer queries. Aside from those performance concerns, this change fixes a longstanding bugaboo with SQL functions: you could not write DDL that would affect later statements in the same function. That's mostly still true with new-style SQL functions, since the results of parse analysis are baked into the stored query trees (and protected by dependency records). But for old-style SQL functions, it will now work much as it does with PL/pgSQL functions, because we delay parse analysis and planning of each query until we're ready to run it. Some edge cases that require replanning are now handled better too; see for example the new rowsecurity test, where we now detect an RLS context change that was previously missed. One other edge-case change that might be worthy of a release note is that we now insist that a SQL function's result be generated by the physically-last query within it. Previously, if the last original query was deleted by a DO INSTEAD NOTHING rule, we'd be willing to take the result from the preceding query instead. This behavior was undocumented except in source-code comments, and it seems hard to believe that anyone's relying on it. Along the way to this feature, we needed a few infrastructure changes: * The plancache can now take either a raw parse tree or an analyzed-but-not-rewritten Query as the starting point for a CachedPlanSource. If given a Query, it is caller's responsibility that nothing will happen to invalidate that form of the query. We use this for new-style SQL functions, where what's in pg_proc is serialized Query(s) and we trust the dependency mechanism to disallow DDL that would break those. * The plancache now offers a way to invoke a post-rewrite callback to examine/modify the rewritten parse tree when it is rebuilding the parse trees after a cache invalidation. We need this because SQL functions sometimes adjust the parse tree to make its output exactly match the declared result type; if the plan gets rebuilt, that has to be re-done. * There is a new backend module utils/cache/funccache.c that abstracts the idea of caching data about a specific function usage (a particular function and set of input data types). The code in it is moved almost verbatim from PL/pgSQL, which has done that for a long time. We use that logic now for SQL-language functions too, and maybe other PLs will have use for it in the future.

2022-07-06Change internal RelFileNode references to RelFileNumber or RelFileLocator.Robert Haas
We have been using the term RelFileNode to refer to either (1) the integer that is used to name the sequence of files for a certain relation within the directory set aside for that tablespace/database combination; or (2) that value plus the OIDs of the tablespace and database; or occasionally (3) the whole series of files created for a relation based on those values. Using the same name for more than one thing is confusing. Replace RelFileNode with RelFileNumber when we're talking about just the single number, i.e. (1) from above, and with RelFileLocator when we're talking about all the things that are needed to locate a relation's files on disk, i.e. (2) from above. In the places where we refer to (3) as a relfilenode, instead refer to "relation storage". Since there is a ton of SQL code in the world that knows about pg_class.relfilenode, don't change the name of that column, or of other SQL-facing things that derive their name from it. On the other hand, do adjust closely-related internal terminology. For example, the structure member names dbNode and spcNode appear to be derived from the fact that the structure itself was called RelFileNode, so change those to dbOid and spcOid. Likewise, various variables with names like rnode and relnode get renamed appropriately, according to how they're being used in context. Hopefully, this is clearer than before. It is also preparation for future patches that intend to widen the relfilenumber fields from its current width of 32 bits. Variables that store a relfilenumber are now declared as type RelFileNumber rather than type Oid; right now, these are the same, but that can now more easily be changed. Dilip Kumar, per an idea from me. Reviewed also by Andres Freund. I fixed some whitespace issues, changed a couple of words in a comment, and made one other minor correction.

2019-11-05Split all OBJS style lines in makefiles into one-line-per-entry style.Andres Freund
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.

2018-04-14Reorganize partitioning codeAlvaro Herrera
There's been a massive addition of partitioning code in PostgreSQL 11, with little oversight on its placement, resulting in a catalog/partition.c with poorly defined boundaries and responsibilities. This commit tries to set a couple of distinct modules to separate things a little bit. There are no code changes here, only code movement. There are three new files: src/backend/utils/cache/partcache.c src/include/partitioning/partdefs.h src/include/utils/partcache.h The previous arrangement of #including catalog/partition.h almost everywhere is no more.

2013-07-22Add infrastructure for mapping relfilenodes to relation OIDs.Robert Haas
Future patches are expected to introduce logical replication that works by decoding WAL. WAL contains relfilenodes rather than relation OIDs, so this infrastructure will be needed to find the relation OID based on WAL contents. If logical replication does not make it into this release, we probably should consider reverting this, since it will add some overhead to DDL operations that create new relations. One additional index insert per pg_class row is not a large overhead, but it's more than zero. Another way of meeting the needs of logical replication would be to the relation OID to WAL, but that would burden DML operations, not only DDL. Andres Freund, with some changes by me.

2012-07-20Make new event trigger facility actually do something.Robert Haas
Commit 3855968f328918b6cd1401dd11d109d471a54d40 added syntax, pg_dump, psql support, and documentation, but the triggers didn't actually fire. With this commit, they now do. This is still a pretty basic facility overall because event triggers do not get a whole lot of information about what the user is trying to do unless you write them in C; and there's still no option to fire them anywhere except at the very beginning of the execution sequence, but it's better than nothing, and a good building block for future work. Along the way, add a regression test for ALTER LARGE OBJECT, since testing of event triggers reveals that we haven't got one. Dimitri Fontaine and Robert Haas
2010-09-20Remove cvs keywords from all files.Magnus Hagander
2010-02-07Create a "relation mapping" infrastructure to support changing the relfilenodesTom Lane
of shared or nailed system catalogs. This has two key benefits: * The new CLUSTER-based VACUUM FULL can be applied safely to all catalogs. * We no longer have to use an unsafe reindex-in-place approach for reindexing shared catalogs. CLUSTER on nailed catalogs now works too, although I left it disabled on shared catalogs because the resulting pg_index.indisclustered update would only be visible in one database. Since reindexing shared system catalogs is now fully transactional and crash-safe, the former special cases in REINDEX behavior have been removed; shared catalogs are treated the same as non-shared. This commit does not do anything about the recently-discussed problem of deadlocks between VACUUM FULL/CLUSTER on a system catalog and other concurrent queries; will address that in a separate patch. As a stopgap, parallel_schedule has been tweaked to run vacuum.sql by itself, to avoid such failures during the regression tests.
2010-01-22Replace ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DISTINCT with a more general mechanism.Robert Haas
Attributes can now have options, just as relations and tablespaces do, and the reloptions code is used to parse, validate, and store them. For simplicity and because these options are not performance critical, we store them in a separate cache rather than the main relcache. Thanks to Alex Hunsaker for the review.
2010-01-05Support ALTER TABLESPACE name SET/RESET ( tablespace_options ).Robert Haas
This patch only supports seq_page_cost and random_page_cost as parameters, but it provides the infrastructure to scalably support many more. In particular, we may want to add support for effective_io_concurrency, but I'm leaving that as future work for now. Thanks to Tom Lane for design help and Alvaro Herrera for the review.

2007-08-21Tsearch2 functionality migrates to core. The bulk of this work is byTom Lane
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing, so anything that's broken is probably my fault. Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can get some portability testing done.
2007-03-13First phase of plan-invalidation project: create a plan cache managementTom Lane
module and teach PREPARE and protocol-level prepared statements to use it. In service of this, rearrange utility-statement processing so that parse analysis does not assume table schemas can't change before execution for utility statements (necessary because we don't attempt to re-acquire locks for utility statements when reusing a stored plan). This requires some refactoring of the ProcessUtility API, but it ends up cleaner anyway, for instance we can get rid of the QueryContext global. Still to do: fix up SPI and related code to use the plan cache; I'm tempted to try to make SQL functions use it too. Also, there are at least some aspects of system state that we want to ensure remain the same during a replan as in the original processing; search_path certainly ought to behave that way for instance, and perhaps there are others.

datatype by array_eq and array_cmp; use this to solve problems with memory leaks in array indexing support. The parser's equality_oper and ordering_oper routines also use the cache. Change the operator search algorithms to look for appropriate btree or hash index opclasses, instead of assuming operators named '<' or '=' have the right semantics. (ORDER BY ASC/DESC now also look at opclasses, instead of assuming '<' and '>' are the right things.) Add several more index opclasses so that there is no regression in functionality for base datatypes. initdb forced due to catalog additions.
2002-12-13Phase 3 of read-only-plans project: ExecInitExpr now builds expressionTom Lane
execution state trees, and ExecEvalExpr takes an expression state tree not an expression plan tree. The plan tree is now read-only as far as the executor is concerned. Next step is to begin actually exploiting this property.

2001-10-06Rearrange fmgr.c and relcache so that it's possible to keep FmgrInfoTom Lane
lookup info in the relcache for index access method support functions. This makes a huge difference for dynamically loaded support functions, and should save a few cycles even for built-in ones. Also tweak dfmgr.c so that load_external_function is called only once, not twice, when doing fmgr_info for a dynamically loaded function. All per performance gripe from Teodor Sigaev, 5-Oct-01.

if MULTIBYTE is not enabled. So be sure to run initdb. o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared. regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute 'oid' not found this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without my patches. strange... o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer used, and shoud be removed. o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in #ifdef 0). seems nobody uses. t-ishii@sra.co.jp
1998-07-26From: t-ishii@sra.co.jpMarc G. Fournier
As Bruce mentioned, this is due to the conflict among changes we made. Included patches should fix the problem(I changed all MB to MULTIBYTE). Please let me know if you have further problem. P.S. I did not include pathces to configure and gram.c to save the file size(configure.in and gram.y modified).
1998-07-24I really hope that I haven't missed anything in this one...Marc G. Fournier
From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp Attached are patches to enhance the multi-byte support. (patches are against 7/18 snapshot) * determine encoding at initdb/createdb rather than compile time Now initdb/createdb has an option to specify the encoding. Also, I modified the syntax of CREATE DATABASE to accept encoding option. See README.mb for more details. For this purpose I have added new column "encoding" to pg_database. Also pg_attribute and pg_class are changed to catch up the modification to pg_database. Actually I haved added pg_database_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h and pg_class_mb.h. These are used only when MB is enabled. The reason having separate files is I couldn't find a way to use ifdef or whatever in those files. I have to admit it looks ugly. No way. * support for PGCLIENTENCODING when issuing COPY command commands/copy.c modified. * support for SQL92 syntax "SET NAMES" See gram.y. * support for LATIN2-5 * add UNICODE regression test case * new test suite for MB New directory test/mb added. * clean up source files Basic idea is to have MB's own subdirectory for easier maintenance. These are include/mb and backend/utils/mb.
1998-04-06Hi,Bruce Momjian
Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate. It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh a little smarter. This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) ) This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to complete. Please review and apply, Cheers, Jeroen van Vianen
