In an inherited UPDATE/DELETE, each target table has its own subplan,
because it might have a column set different from other targets. This
means that the resjunk columns we add to support EvalPlanQual might be
at different physical column numbers in each subplan. The EvalPlanQual
rewrite I did for 9.0 failed to account for this, resulting in possible
misbehavior or even crashes during concurrent updates to the same row,
as seen in a recent report from Gordon Shannon. Revise the data structure
so that we track resjunk column numbers separately for each subplan.
I also chose to move responsibility for identifying the physical column
numbers back to executor startup, instead of assuming that numbers derived
during preprocess_targetlist would stay valid throughout subsequent
massaging of the plan. That's a bit slower, so we might want to consider
undoing it someday; but it would complicate the patch considerably and
didn't seem justifiable in a bug fix that has to be back-patched to 9.0.

There's no reason for these values to be known anywhere else. After
doing this, executor/execdefs.h is vestigial and can be removed.

This is advantageous first because it allows us to hash the smaller table
regardless of the outer-join type, and second because hash join can be more
flexible than merge join in dealing with arbitrary join quals in a FULL
join. For merge join all the join quals have to be mergejoinable, but hash
join will work so long as there's at least one hashjoinable qual --- the
others can be any condition. (This is true essentially because we don't
keep per-inner-tuple match flags in merge join, while hash join can do so.)
To do this, we need a has-it-been-matched flag for each tuple in the
hashtable, not just one for the current outer tuple. The key idea that
makes this practical is that we can store the match flag in the tuple's
infomask, since there are lots of bits there that are of no interest for a
MinimalTuple. So we aren't increasing the size of the hashtable at all for
the feature.
To write this without turning the hash code into even more of a pile of
spaghetti than it already was, I rewrote ExecHashJoin in a state-machine
style, similar to ExecMergeJoin. Other than that decision, it was pretty
straightforward.

This is a heavily revised version of builtin_knngist_core-0.9. The
ordering operators are no longer mixed in with actual quals, which would
have confused not only humans but significant parts of the planner.
Instead, ordering operators are carried separately throughout planning and
execution.
Since the API for ambeginscan and amrescan functions had to be changed
anyway, this commit takes the opportunity to rationalize that a bit.
RelationGetIndexScan no longer forces a premature index_rescan call;
instead, callers of index_beginscan must call index_rescan too. Aside from
making the AM-side initialization logic a bit less peculiar, this has the
advantage that we do not make a useless extra am_rescan call when there are
runtime key values. AMs formerly could not assume that the key values
passed to amrescan were actually valid; now they can.

This patch eliminates the former need to sort the output of an Append scan
when an ordered scan of an inheritance tree is wanted. This should be
particularly useful for fast-start cases such as queries with LIMIT.

Remove bespoke code in DoCopy and RI_Initial_Check, which now instead
fabricate call ExecCheckRTPerms with a manufactured RangeTblEntry.
This is intended to make it feasible for an enhanced security provider
to actually make use of ExecutorCheckPerms_hook, but also has the
advantage that RI_Initial_Check can allow use of the fast-path when
column-level but not table-level permissions are present.

relation using the general PARAM_EXEC executor parameter mechanism, rather
than the ad-hoc kluge of passing the outer tuple down through ExecReScan.
The previous method was hard to understand and could never be extended to
handle parameters coming from multiple join levels. This patch doesn't
change the set of possible plans nor have any significant performance effect,
but it's necessary infrastructure for future generalization of the concept
of an inner indexscan plan.
ExecReScan's second parameter is now unused, so it's removed.

This hook allows a loadable module to gain control when table permissions
are checked. It is expected to be used by an eventual SE-PostgreSQL
implementation, but there are other possible applications as well. A

VACUUM FULL INPLACE), along with a boatload of subsidiary code and complexity.
Per discussion, the use case for this method of vacuuming is no longer large
enough to justify maintaining it; not to mention that we don't wish to invest
the work that would be needed to make it play nicely with Hot Standby.
Aside from the code directly related to old-style VACUUM FULL, this commit
removes support for certain WAL record types that could only be generated
within VACUUM FULL, redirect-pointer removal in heap_page_prune, and
nontransactional generation of cache invalidation sinval messages (the last
being the sticking point for Hot Standby).
We still have to retain all code that copes with finding HEAP_MOVED_OFF and
HEAP_MOVED_IN flag bits on existing tuples. This can't be removed as long
as we want to support in-place update from pre-9.0 databases.

We show the number of buckets, the number of batches (and also the original
number if it has changed), and the peak space used by the hash table. Minor
executor changes to track peak space used.

This patch also removes buffer-usage statistics from the track_counts
output, since this (or the global server statistics) is deemed to be a better
interface to this information.

we have to cope with the possibility that the declared result rowtype contains
dropped columns. This fails in 8.4, as per bug #5240.
While at it, be more paranoid about inserting binary coercions when inlining.
The pre-8.4 code did not really need to worry about that because it could not
inline at all in any case where an added coercion could change the behavior
of the function's statement. However, when inlining a SRF we allow sorting,
grouping, and set-ops such as UNION. In these cases, modifying one of the
targetlist entries that the sort/group/setop depends on could conceivably
change the behavior of the function's statement --- so don't inline when
such a case applies.

support any indexable commutative operator, not just equality. Two rows
violate the exclusion constraint if "row1.col OP row2.col" is TRUE for
each of the columns in the constraint.

As proof of concept, modify plpgsql to use the hooks. plpgsql is still
inserting $n symbols textually, but the "back end" of the parsing process now
goes through the ParamRef hook instead of using a fixed parameter-type array,
and then execution only fetches actually-referenced parameters, using a hook
added to ParamListInfo.
Although there's a lot left to be done in plpgsql, this already cures the
"if (TG_OP = 'INSERT' and NEW.foo ...)" problem, as illustrated by the
changed regression test.

a lot of strange behaviors that occurred in join cases. We now identify the
"current" row for every joined relation in UPDATE, DELETE, and SELECT FOR
UPDATE/SHARE queries. If an EvalPlanQual recheck is necessary, we jam the
appropriate row into each scan node in the rechecking plan, forcing it to emit
only that one row. The former behavior could rescan the whole of each joined
relation for each recheck, which was terrible for performance, and what's much
worse could result in duplicated output tuples.
Also, the original implementation of EvalPlanQual could not re-use the recheck
execution tree --- it had to go through a full executor init and shutdown for
every row to be tested. To avoid this overhead, I've associated a special
runtime Param with each LockRows or ModifyTable plan node, and arranged to
make every scan node below such a node depend on that Param. Thus, by
signaling a change in that Param, the EPQ machinery can just rescan the
already-built test plan.
This patch also adds a prohibition on set-returning functions in the
targetlist of SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE. This is needed to avoid the
duplicate-output-tuple problem. It seems fairly reasonable since the
other restrictions on SELECT FOR UPDATE are meant to ensure that there
is a unique correspondence between source tuples and result tuples,
which an output SRF destroys as much as anything else does.

execMain.c and into a new plan node type LockRows. Like the recent change
to put table updating into a ModifyTable plan node, this increases planning
flexibility by allowing the operations to occur below the top level of the
plan tree. It's necessary in any case to restore the previous behavior of
having FOR UPDATE locking occur before ModifyTable does.
This partially refactors EvalPlanQual to allow multiple rows-under-test
to be inserted into the EPQ machinery before starting an EPQ test query.
That isn't sufficient to fix EPQ's general bogosity in the face of plans
that return multiple rows per test row, though. Since this patch is
mostly about getting some plan node infrastructure in place and not about
fixing ten-year-old bugs, I will leave EPQ improvements for another day.
Another behavioral change that we could now think about is doing FOR UPDATE
before LIMIT, but that too seems like it should be treated as a followon
patch.

They are now handled by a new plan node type called ModifyTable, which is
placed at the top of the plan tree. In itself this change doesn't do much,
except perhaps make the handling of RETURNING lists and inherited UPDATEs a
tad less klugy. But it is necessary preparation for the intended extension of
allowing RETURNING queries inside WITH.

friends). This code has all been ifdef'd out for many years, and doesn't
seem to have any prospect of becoming any more useful in the future.
EXPLAIN ANALYZE is what people use in practice, and I think if we did want
process-wide counters we'd be more likely to put in dtrace events for that
than try to resurrect this code. Get rid of it so as to have one less detail
to worry about while refactoring execMain.c.

TupleTableSlot nodes. This eliminates the need to count in advance
how many Slots will be needed, which seems more than worth the small
increase in the amount of palloc traffic during executor startup.
The ExecCountSlots infrastructure is now all dead code, but I'll remove it
in a separate commit for clarity.

an explicit model of rescan costs being different from first-time costs.
The costing of Material nodes in particular now has some visible relationship
to the actual runtime behavior, where before it was essentially fantasy.
This also fixes up a couple of places where different materialized plan types
were treated differently for no very good reason (probably just oversights).
A couple of the regression tests are affected, because the planner now chooses
to put the other relation on the inside of a nestloop-with-materialize.
So far as I can see both changes are sane, and the planner is now more
consistently following the expectation that it should prefer to materialize
the smaller of two relations.
Per a recent discussion with Robert Haas.

The current implementation fires an AFTER ROW trigger for each tuple that
looks like it might be non-unique according to the index contents at the
time of insertion. This works well as long as there aren't many conflicts,
but won't scale to massive unique-key reassignments. Improving that case
is a TODO item.

so it doesn't go through BuildTupleFromCStrings. This is more or less a
wash for current uses, but will avoid inefficiency for planned changes to
EXPLAIN.

memory leakage in error recovery. We were calling FreeExprContext, and
therefore invoking ExprContextCallback callbacks, in both normal and error
exits from subtransactions. However this isn't very safe, as shown in
recent trouble report from Frank van Vugt, in which releasing a tupledesc
refcount failed. It's also unnecessary, since the resources that callbacks
might wish to release should be cleaned up by other error recovery mechanisms
(ie the resource owners). We only really want FreeExprContext to release
memory attached to the exprcontext in the error-exit case. So, add a bool
parameter to FreeExprContext to tell it not to call the callbacks.
A more general solution would be to pass the isCommit bool parameter on to
the callbacks, so they could do only safe things during error exit. But
that would make the patch significantly more invasive and possibly break
third-party code that registers ExprContextCallback callbacks. We might want
to do that later in HEAD, but for now I'll just do what seems reasonable to
back-patch.

TupleTableSlots. We have functions for retrieving a minimal tuple from a slot
after storing a regular tuple in it, or vice versa; but these were implemented
by converting the internal storage from one format to the other. The problem
with that is it invalidates any pass-by-reference Datums that were already
fetched from the slot, since they'll be pointing into the just-freed version
of the tuple. The known problem cases involve fetching both a whole-row
variable and a pass-by-reference value from a slot that is fed from a
tuplestore or tuplesort object. The added regression tests illustrate some
simple cases, but there may be other failure scenarios traceable to the same
bug. Note that the added tests probably only fail on unpatched code if it's
built with --enable-cassert; otherwise the bug leads to fetching from freed
memory, which will not have been overwritten without additional conditions.
Fix by allowing a slot to contain both formats simultaneously; which turns out
not to complicate the logic much at all, if anything it seems less contorted
than before.
Back-patch to 8.2, where minimal tuples were introduced.

distribution, by creating a special fast path for the (first few) most common
values of the outer relation. Tuples having hashvalues matching the MCVs
are effectively forced to be in the first batch, so that we never write
them out to the batch temp files.

case that the command is rewritten into another type of command. The old
behavior to return the command tag of the last executed command was
pretty surprising. In PL/pgSQL, for example, it meant that if a command
was rewritten to a utility statement, FOUND wasn't set at all.

OutputFunctionCall, and friends. This allows SPI-using functions to invoke
datatype I/O without concern for the possibility that a SPI-using function
will be called (which could be either the I/O function itself, or a function
used in a domain check constraint). It's a tad ugly, but not nearly as ugly
as what'd be needed to make this work via retail insertion of push/pop
operations in all the PLs.
This reverts my patch of 2007-01-30 that inserted some retail SPI_push/pop
calls into plpgsql; that approach only fixed plpgsql, and not any other PLs.
But the other PLs have the issue too, as illustrated by a recent gripe from
Christian Schröder.
Back-patch to 8.2, which is as far back as this solution will work. It's
also as far back as we need to worry about the domain-constraint case, since
earlier versions did not attempt to check domain constraints within datatype
input. I'm not aware of any old I/O functions that use SPI themselves, so
this should be sufficient for a back-patch.

not include postgres.h nor anything else it doesn't directly need. Add

is over. Per bug #4553 from Andrew Gierth.
Back-patch as far as 8.1. The bug actually exists back to 7.4 when holdable
cursors were introduced, but this patch won't work before 8.1 without
significant adjustments. Given the lack of field complaints, it doesn't seem
worth the work (and risk of introducing new bugs) to try to make a patch for
the older branches.

that a Portal is a useful and sufficient additional argument for
CreateDestReceiver --- it just isn't, in most cases. Instead formalize
the approach of passing any needed parameters to the receiver separately.
One unexpected benefit of this change is that we can declare typedef Portal
in a less surprising location.
This patch is just code rearrangement and doesn't change any functionality.
I'll tackle the HOLD-cursor-vs-toast problem in a follow-on patch.

* Refactor explain.c slightly to export a convenient-to-use subroutine
for printing EXPLAIN results.
* Provide hooks for plugins to get control at ExecutorStart and ExecutorEnd
as well as ExecutorRun.
* Add some minimal support for tracking the total runtime of ExecutorRun.
This code won't actually do anything unless a plugin prods it to.
* Change the API of the DefineCustomXXXVariable functions to allow nonzero
"flags" to be specified for a custom GUC variable. While at it, also make
the "bootstrap" default value for custom GUCs be explicitly specified as a
parameter to these functions. This is to eliminate confusion over where the
default comes from, as has been expressed in the past by some users of the
custom-variable facility.
* Refactor GUC code a bit to ensure that a custom variable gets initialized to
something valid (like its default value) even if the placeholder value was
invalid.

it just return void instead of sometimes returning a TupleTableSlot. SQL
functions don't need that anymore, and noplace else does either. Eliminating
the return value also means one less hassle for the ExecutorRun hook functions
that will be supported beginning in 8.4.

RETURNING clause, not just a SELECT as formerly.
A side effect of this patch is that when a set-returning SQL function is used
in a FROM clause, performance is improved because the output is collected into
a tuplestore within the function, rather than using the less efficient
value-per-call mechanism.

backwards scan could actually happen. In particular, pass a flag to

tuplestores.

via a tuplestore instead of value-per-call. Refactor a few things to reduce
ensuing code duplication with nodeFunctionscan.c. This represents the
reasonably noncontroversial part of my proposed patch to switch SQL functions
over to returning tuplestores. For the moment, SQL functions still do things
the old way. However, this change enables PL SRFs to be called in targetlists
(observe changes in plperl regression results).

There are some unimplemented aspects: recursive queries must use UNION ALL
(should allow UNION too), and we don't have SEARCH or CYCLE clauses.
These might or might not get done for 8.4, but even without them it's a
pretty useful feature.
There are also a couple of small loose ends and definitional quibbles,
which I'll send a memo about to pgsql-hackers shortly. But let's land
the patch now so we can get on with other development.

This facility replaces the former mark/restore support but is otherwise
upward-compatible with previous uses. It's expected to be needed for
single evaluation of CTEs and also for window functions, so I'm committing
it separately instead of waiting for either one of those patches to be
finished. Per discussion with Greg Stark and Hitoshi Harada.
Note: I removed nodeFunctionscan's mark/restore support, instead of bothering
to update it for this change, because it was dead code anyway.

we regenerate the SQL query text not merely the plan derived from it. This
is needed to handle contingencies such as renaming of a table or column
used in an FK. Pre-8.3, such cases worked despite the lack of replanning
(because the cached plan needn't actually change), so this is a regression.
