2008-10-22Dept of better ideas: refrain from creating the planner's placeholder_listTom Lane
until vars are distributed to rels during query_planner() startup. We don't really need it before that, and not building it early has some advantages. First, we don't need to put it through the various preprocessing steps, which saves some cycles and eliminates the need for a number of routines to support PlaceHolderInfo nodes at all. Second, this means one less unused plan for any sub-SELECT appearing in a placeholder's expression, since we don't build placeholder_list until after sublink expansion is complete.
2008-10-22Fix GiST's killing tuple: GISTScanOpaque->curpos wasn'tTeodor Sigaev
correctly set. As result, killtuple() marks as dead wrong tuple on page. Bug was introduced by me while fixing possible duplicates during GiST index scan.
2008-10-22SQL:2008 alternative syntax for LIMIT/OFFSET:Peter Eisentraut
OFFSET num {ROW|ROWS} FETCH {FIRST|NEXT} [num] {ROW|ROWS} ONLY
2008-10-21Add a concept of "placeholder" variables to the planner. These are variablesTom Lane
that represent some expression that we desire to compute below the top level of the plan, and then let that value "bubble up" as though it were a plain Var (ie, a column value). The immediate application is to allow sub-selects to be flattened even when they are below an outer join and have non-nullable output expressions. Formerly we couldn't flatten because such an expression wouldn't properly go to NULL when evaluated above the outer join. Now, we wrap it in a PlaceHolderVar and arrange for the actual evaluation to occur below the outer join. When the resulting Var bubbles up through the join, it will be set to NULL if necessary, yielding the correct results. This fixes a planner limitation that's existed since 7.1. In future we might want to use this mechanism to re-introduce some form of Hellerstein's "expensive functions" optimization, ie place the evaluation of an expensive function at the most suitable point in the plan tree.

2008-10-20Rework subtransaction commit protocol for hot standby.Alvaro Herrera
This patch eliminates the marking of subtransactions as SUBCOMMITTED in pg_clog during their commit; instead they remain in-progress until main transaction commit. At main transaction commit, the commit protocol is atomic-by-page instead of one transaction at a time. To avoid a race condition with some subtransactions appearing committed before others in the case where they span more than one pg_clog page, we conserve the logic that marks them subcommitted before marking the parent committed.

2008-10-17Remove useless mark/restore support in hash index AM, per discussion.Tom Lane
(I'm leaving GiST/GIN cleanup to Teodor.)
2008-10-17Refactor some duplicate code to set up formatted_log_time andAlvaro Herrera
formatted_start_time.
2008-10-17Add a new column to pg_am to specify whether an index AM supports backwardTom Lane
scanning; GiST and GIN do not, and it seems like too much trouble to make them do so. By teaching ExecSupportsBackwardScan() about this restriction, we ensure that the planner will protect a scroll cursor from the problem by adding a Materialize node. In passing, fix another longstanding bug in the same area: backwards scan of a plan with set-returning functions in the targetlist did not work either, since the TupFromTlist expansion code pays no attention to direction (and has no way to run a SRF backwards anyway). Again the fix is to make ExecSupportsBackwardScan check this restriction. Also adjust the index AM API specification to note that mark/restore support is unnecessary if the AM can't produce ordered output.
2008-10-17Salvage a little bit of work from a failed patch: simplify and speed upTom Lane
set_rel_width(). The code had been catering for the possibility of different varnos in the relation targetlist, but this is impossible for a base relation (and if it were possible, putting all the widths in the same RelOptInfo would be wrong anyway).

Patch from Sushant Sinha <sushant354@gmail.com> http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2008-07/msg00785.php
2008-10-17During repeated rescan of GiST index it's possible that scan keyTeodor Sigaev
is NULL but SK_SEARCHNULL is not set. Add checking IS NULL of keys to set during key initialization. If key is NULL and SK_SEARCHNULL is not set then nothnig can be satisfied. With assert-enabled compilation that causes coredump. Bug was introduced in 8.3 by support of IS NULL index scan.
2008-10-16Fix a small memory leak in ExecReScanAgg() in the hashed aggregation case.Neil Conway
In the previous coding, the list of columns that needed to be hashed on was allocated in the per-query context, but we reallocated every time the Agg node was rescanned. Since this information doesn't change over a rescan, just construct the list of columns once during ExecInitAgg().

2008-10-16Fix SPI_getvalue and SPI_getbinval to range-check the given attribute numberTom Lane
according to the TupleDesc's natts, not the number of physical columns in the tuple. The previous coding would do the wrong thing in cases where natts is different from the tuple's column count: either incorrectly report error when it should just treat the column as null, or actually crash due to indexing off the end of the TupleDesc's attribute array. (The second case is probably not possible in modern PG versions, due to more careful handling of inheritance cases than we once had. But it's still a clear lack of robustness here.) The incorrect error indication is ignored by all callers within the core PG distribution, so this bug has no symptoms visible within the core code, but it might well be an issue for add-on packages. So patch all the way back.
2008-10-14Make the system-attributes loop in AddNewAttributeTuples depend onTom Lane
lengthof(SysAtt) not FirstLowInvalidHeapAttributeNumber, for consistency with the other uses of the SysAtt array, and to make it clearer that it doesn't walk off the end of that array.
2008-10-14Add a defense to prevent storing pseudo-type data into index columns.Tom Lane
Formerly, the lack of any opclasses that could accept such data was enough of a defense, but now with a "record" opclass we need to check more carefully. (You can still use that opclass for an index, but you have to store a named composite type not an anonymous one.)
2008-10-14Ensure that CLUSTER leaves the toast table and index with consistent names,Alvaro Herrera
by renaming the new copies after the catalog games.
2008-10-14Extend the date type to support infinity and -infinity, analogously toTom Lane
the timestamp types. Turns out this doesn't even reduce the available range of dates, since the restriction to dates that work for Julian-date arithmetic is much tighter than the int32 range anyway. Per a longstanding TODO item.
2008-10-14Fix EncodeSpecialTimestamp to throw error on unrecognized input, rather thanTom Lane
returning a failure code that none of its callers bothered to check for.
2008-10-14Fixed parsing of parameters. Added regression test for this.Michael Meskes
2008-10-14Fix oversight in the relation forks patch: forgot to copy fork number toHeikki Linnakangas
fsync requests. This should fix the installcheck failure of the buildfarm member "kudu".
2008-10-14Add docs and regression test about sorting the output of a recursive query inTom Lane
depth-first search order. Upon close reading of SQL:2008, it seems that the spec's SEARCH DEPTH FIRST and SEARCH BREADTH FIRST options do not actually guarantee any particular result order: what they do is provide a constructed column that the user can then sort on in the outer query. So this is actually just as much functionality ...
2008-10-14Eliminate unnecessary array[] decoration in examples of recursive cycleTom Lane
detection.
2008-10-13Implement comparison of generic records (composite types), and invent aTom Lane
pseudo-type record[] to represent arrays of possibly-anonymous composite types. Since composite datums carry their own type identification, no extra knowledge is needed at the array level. The main reason for doing this right now is that it is necessary to support the general case of detection of cycles in recursive queries: if you need to compare more than one column to detect a cycle, you need to compare a ROW() to an array built from ROW()s, at least if you want to do it as the spec suggests. Add some documentation and regression tests concerning the cycle detection issue.

2008-10-13Fix corner case wherein a WorkTableScan node could get initialized before theTom Lane
RecursiveUnion to which it refers. It turns out that we can just postpone the relevant initialization steps until the first exec call for the node, by which time the ancestor node must surely be initialized. Per report from Greg Stark.
