2005-04-25Replace slightly klugy create_bitmap_restriction() function with aTom Lane
more efficient routine in restrictinfo.c (which can make use of make_restrictinfo_internal).
2005-04-25Remove support for OR'd indexscans internal to a single IndexScan planTom Lane
node, as this behavior is now better done as a bitmap OR indexscan. This allows considerable simplification in nodeIndexscan.c itself as well as several planner modules concerned with indexscan plan generation. Also we can improve the sharing of code between regular and bitmap indexscans, since they are now working with nigh-identical Plan nodes.
2005-04-24Adjust nodeBitmapIndexscan.c to not keep the index open across calls,Tom Lane
but just to open and close it during MultiExecBitmapIndexScan. This avoids acquiring duplicate resources (eg, multiple locks on the same relation) in a tree with many bitmap scans. Also, don't bother to lock the parent heap at all here, since we must be underneath a BitmapHeapScan node that will be holding a suitable lock.
2005-04-22First cut at planner support for bitmap index scans. Lots to do yet,Tom Lane
but the code is basically working. Along the way, rewrite the entire approach to processing OR index conditions, and make it work in join cases for the first time ever. orindxpath.c is now basically obsolete, but I left it in for the time being to allow easy comparison testing against the old implementation.
2005-04-21Rethink original decision to use AND/OR Expr nodes to represent bitmapTom Lane
logic operations during planning. Seems cleaner to create two new Path node types, instead --- this avoids duplication of cost-estimation code. Also, create an enable_bitmapscan GUC parameter to control use of bitmap plans.
2005-04-21Install some slightly realistic cost estimation for bitmap index scans.Tom Lane
2005-04-20Minor performance improvement: avoid unnecessary creation/unioning ofTom Lane
bitmaps for multiple indexscans. Instead just let each indexscan add TIDs directly into the BitmapOr node's result bitmap.
2005-04-19Create executor and planner-backend support for decoupled heap and indexTom Lane
scans, using in-memory tuple ID bitmaps as the intermediary. The planner frontend (path creation and cost estimation) is not there yet, so none of this code can be executed. I have tested it using some hacked planner code that is far too ugly to see the light of day, however. Committing now so that the bulk of the infrastructure changes go in before the tree drifts under me.
2005-04-19Attached patch gets rid of the global timezone in the following steps:Bruce Momjian
* Changes the APIs to the timezone functions to take a pg_tz pointer as an argument, representing the timezone to use for the selected operation. * Adds a global_timezone variable that represents the current timezone in the backend as set by SET TIMEZONE (or guc, or env, etc). * Implements a hash-table cache of loaded tables, so we don't have to read and parse the TZ file everytime we change a timezone. While not necesasry now (we don't change timezones very often), I beleive this will be necessary (or at least good) when "multiple timezones in the same query" is eventually implemented. And code-wise, this was the time to do it. There are no user-visible changes at this time. Implementing the "multiple zones in one query" is a later step... This also gets rid of some of the cruft needed to "back out a timezone change", since we previously couldn't check a timezone unless it was activated first. Passes regression tests on win32, linux (slackware 10) and solaris x86. Magnus Hagander
2005-04-17Initial implementation of lossy-tuple-bitmap data structures.Tom Lane
Not connected to anything useful yet ...
2005-04-16Create a new 'MultiExecProcNode' call API for plan nodes that don'tTom Lane
return just a single tuple at a time. Currently the only such node type is Hash, but I expect we will soon have indexscans that can return tuple bitmaps. A side benefit is that EXPLAIN ANALYZE now shows the correct tuple count for a Hash node.
2005-04-14Marginal hack to use a specialized hash function for dynahash hashtablesTom Lane
whose keys are OIDs. The only one that looks particularly performance critical is the relcache hashtable, but as long as we've got the function we may as well use it wherever it's applicable.
2005-04-14Completion of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane
indexes. Replace all heap_openr and index_openr calls by heap_open and index_open. Remove runtime lookups of catalog OID numbers in various places. Remove relcache's support for looking up system catalogs by name. Bulky but mostly very boring patch ...
2005-04-14First phase of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane
indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes; but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a good place to commit. Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be 'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.
2005-04-13Simplify initdb-time assignment of OIDs as I proposed yesterday, andTom Lane
avoid encroaching on the 'user' range of OIDs by allowing automatic OID assignment to use values below 16k until we reach normal operation. initdb not forced since this doesn't make any incompatible change; however a lot of stuff will have different OIDs after your next initdb.
2005-04-13Change addRangeTableEntryForRelation() to take a Relation pointer insteadTom Lane
of just a relation OID, thereby not having to open the relation for itself. This actually saves code rather than adding it for most of the existing callers, which had the rel open already. The main point though is to be able to use this rather than plain addRangeTableEntry in setTargetTable, thus saving one relation_openrv/relation_close cycle for every INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. Seems to provide a several percent win on simple INSERTs.
2005-04-13Revert yesterday's change to make pg_cast.h say 'OID = 0' in DATA entries.Tom Lane
On reflection, we ought to get rid of that mechanism entirely.
2005-04-12Adjust pg_cast.h so that the OIDs assigned to built-in casts come fromTom Lane
genbki.sh's pool (10000-16383) instead of being run-time assigned by heap_insert. Might as well use the pool as long as it's there ... I was a bit bemused to realize that it hadn't been in use at all since 7.2. initdb not forced since this doesn't really affect anything. The OIDs of casts and system indexes will change next time you do one, though.
2005-04-12Fix oversight in MIN/MAX optimization: must not return NULL entriesTom Lane
from index, since the aggregates ignore NULLs.
2005-04-12Add aggsortop column to pg_aggregate, so that MIN/MAX optimization canTom Lane
be supported for all datatypes. Add CREATE AGGREGATE and pg_dump support too. Add specialized min/max aggregates for bpchar, instead of depending on text's min/max, because otherwise the possible use of bpchar indexes cannot be recognized. initdb forced because of catalog changes.
2005-04-11Create the planner mechanism for optimizing simple MIN and MAX queriesTom Lane
into indexscans on matching indexes. For the moment, it only handles int4 and text datatypes; next step is to add a column to pg_aggregate so that all MIN/MAX aggregates can be handled. Per my recent proposal.
2005-04-11Fix interaction between materializing holdable cursors and firingTom Lane
deferred triggers: either one can create more work for the other, so we have to loop till it's all gone. Per example from andrew@supernews. Add a regression test to help spot trouble in this area in future.
2005-04-07Add a "USING" clause to DELETE, which is equivalent to the FROM clauseNeil Conway
in UPDATE. We also now issue a NOTICE if a query has _any_ implicit range table entries -- in the past, we would only warn about implicit RTEs in SELECTs with at least one explicit RTE. As a result of the warning change, 25 of the regression tests had to be updated. I also took the opportunity to remove some bogus whitespace differences between some of the float4 and float8 variants. I believe I have correctly updated all the platform-specific variants, but let me know if that's not the case. Original patch for DELETE ... USING from Euler Taveira de Oliveira, reworked by Neil Conway.
2005-04-06Merge Resdom nodes into TargetEntry nodes to simplify code and save aTom Lane
few palloc's. I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date. initdb forced due to change in contents of stored rules.
2005-04-05plpgsql does OUT parameters, as per my proposal a few weeks ago.Tom Lane
2005-03-31First phase of OUT-parameters project. We can now define and use SQLTom Lane
functions with OUT parameters. The various PLs still need work, as does pg_dump. Rudimentary docs and regression tests included.
2005-03-29Add proallargtypes and proargmodes columns to pg_proc, as per my earlierTom Lane
proposal for OUT parameter support. The columns don't actually *do* anything yet, they are just left NULLs. But I thought I'd commit this part separately as a fairly pure example of the tasks needed when adding a column to pg_proc or one of the other core system tables.
2005-03-29Fix grammar for IN/OUT/INOUT parameters. This commit doesn't actuallyTom Lane
implement any new feature, it just pushes the 'not implemented' error message deeper into the backend. I also tweaked the grammar to accept Oracle-ish parameter syntax (parameter name first), as well as the SQL99 standard syntax (parameter mode first), since it was easy and people will doubtless try to use both anyway.
2005-03-29Officially decouple FUNC_MAX_ARGS from INDEX_MAX_KEYS, and set theTom Lane
former to 100 by default. Clean up some of the less necessary dependencies on FUNC_MAX_ARGS; however, the biggie (FunctionCallInfoData) remains.
2005-03-29Add SPI_getnspname(), including documentation.Neil Conway
2005-03-29Convert oidvector and int2vector into variable-length arrays. ThisTom Lane
change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index, and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value. INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not. I believe it would now be possible to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet. There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which I will clean up in a separate pass. However, getting rid of it altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct, and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.
2005-03-28Remove dead push/pop rollback code. Vadim once planned to implementTom Lane
transaction rollback via UNDO but I think that's highly unlikely to happen, so we may as well remove the stubs. (Someday we ought to rip out the stub xxx_undo routines, too.) Per Alvaro.
2005-03-28Rethink the order of expression preprocessing: eval_const_expressionsTom Lane
really ought to run before canonicalize_qual, because it can now produce forms that canonicalize_qual knows how to improve (eg, NOT clauses). Also, because eval_const_expressions already knows about flattening nested ANDs and ORs into N-argument form, the initial flatten_andors pass in canonicalize_qual is now completely redundant and can be removed. This doesn't save a whole lot of code, but the time and palloc traffic eliminated is a useful gain on large expression trees.
2005-03-27First steps towards index scans with heap access decoupled from indexTom Lane
access: define new index access method functions 'amgetmulti' that can fetch multiple TIDs per call. (The functions exist but are totally untested as yet.) Since I was modifying pg_am anyway, remove the no-longer-needed 'rel' parameter from amcostestimate functions, and also remove the vestigial amowner column that was creating useless work for Alvaro's shared-object-dependencies project. Initdb forced due to changes in pg_am.
2005-03-27Eliminate duplicate hasnulls bit testing in index tuple access, andTom Lane
clean up itup.h a little bit.
2005-03-27Add a back-link from IndexOptInfo structs to their parent RelOptInfoTom Lane
structs. There are many places in the planner where we were passing both a rel and an index to subroutines, and now need only pass the index struct. Notationally simpler, and perhaps a tad faster.
2005-03-26Expand the 'special index operator' machinery to handle special casesTom Lane
for boolean indexes. Previously we would only use such an index with WHERE clauses like 'indexkey = true' or 'indexkey = false'. The new code transforms the cases 'indexkey', 'NOT indexkey', 'indexkey IS TRUE', and 'indexkey IS FALSE' into one of these. While this is only marginally useful in itself, I intend soon to change constant-expression simplification so that 'foo = true' and 'foo = false' are reduced to just 'foo' and 'NOT foo' ... which would lose the ability to use boolean indexes for such queries at all, if the indexscan machinery couldn't make the reverse transformation.
2005-03-25Use 'cp' and 'chmod' in place of 'install' to install header files.Bruce Momjian
This reduces header file install from 8 seconds to 0.40 seconds.
2005-03-25Improve EXPLAIN ANALYZE to show the time spent in each trigger whenTom Lane
executing a statement that fires triggers. Formerly this time was included in "Total runtime" but not otherwise accounted for. As a side benefit, we avoid re-opening relations when firing non-deferred AFTER triggers, because the trigger code can re-use the main executor's ResultRelInfo data structure.
2005-03-25Fix resource owner code to generate catcache and relcache leak warningsTom Lane
when open references remain during normal cleanup of a resource owner. This restores the system's ability to warn about leaks to what it was before 8.0. Not really a user-level bug, but helpful for development.
2005-03-25Add missing min/max parameters to DefineCustomIntVariable() andTom Lane
DefineCustomRealVariable(). Thomas Hallgren
2005-03-25Kerberos fixes from Magnus Hagander --- in theory Kerberos 5 authTom Lane
should work on Windows now. Also, rename set_noblock to pg_set_noblock; since it is included in libpq, the former name polluted application namespace.
2005-03-24array_map can't use the fn_extra field of the provided fcinfo struct asTom Lane
its private storage, because that belongs to the function that it is supposed to call. Per report from Ezequiel Tolnay.
2005-03-24Change Win32 O_SYNC method to O_DSYNC because that is what the methodBruce Momjian
currently does. This is now the default Win32 wal sync method because we perfer o_datasync to fsync. Also, change Win32 fsync to a new wal sync method called fsync_writethrough because that is the behavior of _commit, which is what is used for fsync on Win32. Backpatch to 8.0.X.
2005-03-23WAL must log CREATE and DROP DATABASE operations *without* using anyTom Lane
explicit paths, so that the log can be replayed in a data directory with a different absolute path than the original had. To avoid forcing initdb in the 8.0 branch, continue to accept the old WAL log record types; they will never again be generated however, and the code can be dropped after the next forced initdb. Per report from Oleg Bartunov. We still need to think about what it really means to WAL-log CREATE TABLESPACE commands: we more or less have to put the absolute path into those, but how to replay in a different context??
2005-03-22Use InitFunctionCallInfoData() macro instead of MemSet in performanceTom Lane
critical places in execQual. By Atsushi Ogawa; some minor cleanup by moi.
2005-03-22Create a routine PageIndexMultiDelete() that replaces a loop aroundTom Lane
PageIndexTupleDelete() with a single pass of compactification --- logic mostly lifted from PageRepairFragmentation. I noticed while profiling that a VACUUM that's cleaning up a whole lot of deleted tuples would spend as much as a third of its CPU time in PageIndexTupleDelete; not too surprising considering the loop method was roughly O(N^2) in the number of tuples involved.
2005-03-21Convert index-related tuple handling routines from char 'n'/' ' to boolTom Lane
convention for isnull flags. Also, remove the useless InsertIndexResult return struct from index AM aminsert calls --- there is no reason for the caller to know where in the index the tuple was inserted, and we were wasting a palloc cycle per insert to deliver this uninteresting value (plus nontrivial complexity in some AMs). I forced initdb because of the change in the signature of the aminsert routines, even though nothing really looks at those pg_proc entries...
2005-03-20Change the return value of HeapTupleSatisfiesUpdate() to be an enum,Neil Conway
rather than an integer, and fix the associated fallout. From Alvaro Herrera.
2005-03-20On Windows, use QueryPerformanceCounter instead of gettimeofday forTom Lane
EXPLAIN ANALYZE instrumentation. Magnus Hagander
