2004-01-22Fix oversight in optimization that avoids an unnecessary projection stepTom Lane
when scanning a table that we need all the columns from. In case of SELECT INTO, we have to check that the hasoids flag matches the desired output type, too. Per report from Mike Mascari.
2004-01-14Fix permission-checking bug reported by Tim Burgess 10-Feb-03 (this timeTom Lane
for sure...). Rather than relying on the query context of a rangetable entry to identify what permissions it wants checked, store a full AclMode mask in each RTE, and check exactly those bits. This allows an RTE specifying, say, INSERT privilege on a view to be copied into a derived UPDATE query without changing meaning. Per recent discussion thread. initdb forced due to change of stored rule representation.
2003-12-18Ensure set-returning functions in the targetlist of a plan node will beTom Lane
shut down cleanly if the plan node is ReScanned before the SRFs are run to completion. This fixes the problem for SQL-language functions, but still need work on functions using the SRF_XXX() macros.
2003-12-02Add a warning to AtEOXact_SPI() to catch cases where the currentJoe Conway
transaction has been committed without SPI_finish() being called first. Per recent discussion here: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2003-11/msg00286.php
2003-11-29make sure the $Id tags are converted to $PostgreSQL as well ...PostgreSQL Daemon
2003-10-01Repair RI trigger visibility problems (this time for sure ;-)) per recentTom Lane
discussion on pgsql-hackers: in READ COMMITTED mode we just have to force a QuerySnapshot update in the trigger, but in SERIALIZABLE mode we have to run the scan under a current snapshot and then complain if any rows would be updated/deleted that are not visible in the transaction snapshot.
2003-09-25Get rid of ReferentialIntegritySnapshotOverride by extending Executor APITom Lane
to allow es_snapshot to be set to SnapshotNow rather than a query snapshot. This solves a bug reported by Wade Klaver, wherein triggers fired as a result of RI cascade updates could misbehave.
2003-08-19Improve dynahash.c's API so that caller can specify the comparison functionTom Lane
as well as the hash function (formerly the comparison function was hardwired as memcmp()). This makes it possible to eliminate the special-purpose hashtable management code in execGrouping.c in favor of using dynahash to manage tuple hashtables; which is a win because dynahash knows how to expand a hashtable when the original size estimate was too small, whereas the special-purpose code was too stupid to do that. (See recent gripe from Stephan Szabo about poor performance when hash table size estimate is way off.) Free side benefit: when using string_hash, the default comparison function is now strncmp() instead of memcmp(). This should eliminate some part of the overhead associated with larger NAMEDATALEN values.

2003-07-21Error message editing in backend/executor.Tom Lane
2003-06-22Revise hash join and hash aggregation code to use the same datatype-Tom Lane
specific hash functions used by hash indexes, rather than the old not-datatype-aware ComputeHashFunc routine. This makes it safe to do hash joining on several datatypes that previously couldn't use hashing. The sets of datatypes that are hash indexable and hash joinable are now exactly the same, whereas before each had some that weren't in the other.
2003-05-08Update 3.0 protocol support to match recent agreements about how toTom Lane
handle multiple 'formats' for data I/O. Restructure CommandDest and DestReceiver stuff one more time (it's finally starting to look a bit clean though). Code now matches latest 3.0 protocol document as far as message formats go --- but there is no support for binary I/O yet.
2003-05-06Restructure command destination handling so that we pass aroundTom Lane
DestReceiver pointers instead of just CommandDest values. The DestReceiver is made at the point where the destination is selected, rather than deep inside the executor. This cleans up the original kluge implementation of tstoreReceiver.c, and makes it easy to support retrieving results from utility statements inside portals. Thus, you can now do fun things like Bind and Execute a FETCH or EXPLAIN command, and it'll all work as expected (e.g., you can Describe the portal, or use Execute's count parameter to suspend the output partway through). Implementation involves stuffing the utility command's output into a Tuplestore, which would be kind of annoying for huge output sets, but should be quite acceptable for typical uses of utility commands.
2003-05-06Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifiesTom Lane
the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms. Turns out that representation was not convenient for either the planner or the executor; we can make the planner deliver exactly what the executor wants with no more effort. initdb forced due to change in stored rule representation.
2003-05-05Ditch ExecGetTupType() in favor of the much simpler ExecGetResultType(),Tom Lane
which does the same thing. Perhaps at one time there was a reason to allow plan nodes to store their result types in different places, but AFAICT that's been unnecessary for a good while.
2003-05-02Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.Tom Lane
Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c, so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries. initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.
2003-03-27Add new file.Bruce Momjian
2003-03-11Implement SQL92-compatible FIRST, LAST, ABSOLUTE n, RELATIVE n optionsTom Lane
for FETCH and MOVE.
2003-03-10Restructure parsetree representation of DECLARE CURSOR: now it's aTom Lane
utility statement (DeclareCursorStmt) with a SELECT query dangling from it, rather than a SELECT query with a few unusual fields in it. Add code to determine whether a planned query can safely be run backwards. If DECLARE CURSOR specifies SCROLL, ensure that the plan can be run backwards by adding a Materialize plan node if it can't. Without SCROLL, you get an error if you try to fetch backwards from a cursor that can't handle it. (There is still some discussion about what the exact behavior should be, but this is necessary infrastructure in any case.) Along the way, make EXPLAIN DECLARE CURSOR work.
2003-02-09Make further use of new bitmapset code: executor's chgParam, extParam,Tom Lane
locParam lists can be converted to bitmapsets to speed updating. Also, replace 'locParam' with 'allParam', which contains all the paramIDs relevant to the node (i.e., the union of extParam and locParam); this saves a step during SetChangedParamList() without costing anything elsewhere.
2003-02-03Tweak planner and executor to avoid doing ExecProject() in table scanTom Lane
nodes where it's not really necessary. In many cases where the scan node is not the topmost plan node (eg, joins, aggregation), it's possible to just return the table tuple directly instead of generating an intermediate projection tuple. In preliminary testing, this reduced the CPU time needed for 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo' by about 10%.
2003-01-12First cut at implementing IN (and NOT IN) via hashtables. There isTom Lane
more to be done yet, but this is a good start.
2003-01-10Create a new file executor/execGrouping.c to centralize utility routinesTom Lane
shared by nodeGroup, nodeAgg, and soon nodeSubplan.
2002-12-30Adjust Tcl-related code to compile cleanly with Tcl 8.4 (add const modifiers asTom Lane
needed). Some desultory const-ification of SPI interface to support this.
2002-12-30Better solution to integer overflow problem in hash batch-numberTom Lane
computation: reduce the bucket number mod nbatch. This changes the association between original bucket numbers and batches, but that doesn't matter. Minor other cleanups in hashjoin code to help centralize decisions.
2002-12-15Tweak default memory context allocation policy so that a context is notTom Lane
given any malloc block until something is first allocated in it; but thereafter, MemoryContextReset won't release that first malloc block. This preserves the quick-reset property of the original policy, without forcing 8K to be allocated to every context whether any of it is ever used or not. Also, remove some more no-longer-needed explicit freeing during ExecEndPlan.
2002-12-15Revise executor APIs so that all per-query state structure is built inTom Lane
a per-query memory context created by CreateExecutorState --- and destroyed by FreeExecutorState. This provides a final solution to the longstanding problem of memory leaked by various ExecEndNode calls.
2002-12-14Clean up plantree representation of SubPlan-s --- SubLink does not appearTom Lane
in the planned representation of a subplan at all any more, only SubPlan. This means subselect.c doesn't scribble on its input anymore, which seems like a good thing; and there are no longer three different possible interpretations of a SubLink. Simplify node naming and improve comments in primnodes.h. No change to stored rules, though.
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.
2002-12-12Phase 2 of read-only-plans project: restructure expression-tree nodesTom Lane
so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least a little space and speed improvement. initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.
2002-12-05Phase 1 of read-only-plans project: cause executor state nodes to pointTom Lane
to plan nodes, not vice-versa. All executor state nodes now inherit from struct PlanState. Copying of plan trees has been simplified by not storing a list of SubPlans in Plan nodes (eliminating duplicate links). The executor still needs such a list, but it can build it during ExecutorStart since it has to scan the plan tree anyway. No initdb forced since no stored-on-disk structures changed, but you will need a full recompile because of node-numbering changes.
2002-12-01Fix ExecMakeTableFunctionResult() to work with generic expressions asTom Lane
well as function calls. This is needed for cases where the planner has constant-folded or inlined the original function call. Possibly we should back-patch this change into 7.3 branch as well.
2002-11-30Be more realistic about plans involving Materialize nodes: take theirTom Lane
cost into account while planning.
2002-11-30Upgrade planner and executor to allow multiple hash keys for a hash join,Tom Lane
instead of only one. This should speed up planning (only one hash path to consider for a given pair of relations) as well as allow more effective hashing, when there are multiple hashable joinclauses.
2002-11-06Phase 2 of hashed-aggregation project. nodeAgg.c now knows how to doTom Lane
hashed aggregation, but there's not yet planner support for it.
2002-10-14Make SPI's execution of querystrings follow the rules agreed to forTom Lane
command status at the interactive level. SPI_processed, etc are set in the same way as the returned command status would have been set if the same querystring were issued interactively. Per gripe from Michael Paesold 25-Sep-02.
2002-09-04pgindent run.Bruce Momjian
2002-09-02Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headersTom Lane
(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
2002-08-30Add expected tuple descriptor to ReturnSetInfo information for tableTom Lane
functions, per suggestion from John Gray and Joe Conway. Also, fix plpgsql RETURN NEXT to verify that returned values match the expected tupdesc.
2002-08-30PL/pgSQL functions can return sets. Neil Conway's patch, modified soTom Lane
that the functionality is available to anyone via ReturnSetInfo, rather than hard-wiring it to PL/pgSQL.
2002-08-29Code review for standalone composite types, query-specified compositeTom Lane
types, SRFs. Not happy with memory management yet, but I'll commit these other changes.
2002-08-02ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN works. Patch by Christopher Kings-Lynne,Tom Lane
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!) a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what to do here. Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
2002-07-20Code review for SHOW output changes; fix horology expected files forTom Lane
new SHOW output format.
2002-07-20> 2. This patch includes the same Table Function API fixes that IBruce Momjian
> submitted on July 9: > > http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-patches/2002-07/msg00056.php > > Please disregard that one *if* this one is applied. If this one is > rejected please go ahead with the July 9th patch. The July 9th Table Function API patch mentioned above is now in CVS, so here is an updated version of the guc patch which should apply cleanly against CVS tip. Joe Conway
2002-07-20oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian
bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar
2002-06-26The attached patch fixes some spelling mistakes, makes theBruce Momjian
comments on one of the optimizer functions a lot more clear, adds a summary of the recent KSQO discussion to the comments in the code, adds regression tests for the bug with sequence state Tom fixed recently and another reg. test, and removes some PostQuel legacy stuff: ExecAppend -> ExecInsert, ExecRetrieve -> ExecSelect, etc. Error messages remain unchanged until a vote.
