2005-04-25Avoid rechecking lossy operators twice in a bitmap scan plan.Tom Lane
2005-04-25While determining the filter clauses for an index scan (either plainTom Lane
or bitmap), use pred_test to be a little smarter about cases where a filter clause is logically unnecessary. This may be overkill for the plain indexscan case, but it's definitely useful for OR'd bitmap scans.
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.
2005-04-24Actually, nodeBitmapIndexscan.c doesn't need to create a standardTom Lane
ExprContext at all, since it never evaluates any qual or tlist expressions.
2005-04-24Put back example of using Result node to execute an INSERT.Tom Lane
2005-04-24Update some comments to use SQL examples rather than QUEL. From SimonNeil Conway
Riggs.
2005-04-24Update VACUUM VERBOSE FSM message, per Tom.Bruce Momjian
2005-04-23Repair two TIME WITH TIME ZONE bugs found by Dennis Vshivkov. ComparisonTom Lane
of timetz values misbehaved in --enable-integer-datetime cases, and EXTRACT(EPOCH) subtracted the zone instead of adding it in all cases. Backpatch to all supported releases (except --enable-integer-datetime code does not exist in 7.2).
2005-04-23Remove useless argtype_inherit() code, and make consequent simplifications.Tom Lane
As I pointed out a few days ago, this code has failed to do anything useful for some time ... and if we did want to revive the capability to select functions by nearness of inheritance ancestry, this is the wrong place and way to do it anyway. The knowledge would need to go into func_select_candidate() instead. Perhaps someday someone will be motivated to do that, but I am not today.
2005-04-23Remove explicit FreeExprContext calls during plan node shutdown. TheTom Lane
ExprContexts will be freed anyway when FreeExecutorState() is reached, and letting that routine do the work is more efficient because it will automatically free the ExprContexts in reverse creation order. The existing coding was effectively freeing them in exactly the worst possible order, resulting in O(N^2) behavior inside list_delete_ptr, which becomes highly visible in cases with a few thousand plan nodes. ExecFreeExprContext is now effectively a no-op and could be removed, but I left it in place in case we ever want to put it back to use.
2005-04-23Update VACUUM VERBOSE update, per Alvaro.Bruce Momjian
2005-04-23Update working of VACUUM VERBOSE.Bruce Momjian
2005-04-23Make VACUUM VERBOSE FSM output all output in a single INFO outputBruce Momjian
statement.
2005-04-23Add comment about checkpoint panic behavior during shutdown, perTom Lane
suggestion from Qingqing Zhou.
2005-04-23Allow -2147483648 to be treated as an INT4 rather than INT8 constant.Tom Lane
Per discussion with Paul Edwards.
2005-04-23Recent changes got the sense of the notnull bit backwards in the 2.0Tom Lane
protocol output routines. Mea culpa :-(. Per report from Kris Jurka.
2005-04-23Define the right-hand input of AT TIME ZONE as a full a_expr instead ofTom Lane
c_expr. Perhaps the restriction was once needed to avoid bison errors, but it seems to work just fine now --- and even generates a slightly smaller state machine. This change allows examples like SELECT '13:45'::timetz AT TIME ZONE '-07:00'::interval; to work without parentheses around the right-hand input.
2005-04-23Modify output of VACUUM VERBOSE to be clearer.Bruce Momjian
2005-04-23Turns out that my recent elimination of the 'redundant' flatten_andors()Tom Lane
code in prepqual.c had a small drawback: the flatten_andors code was able to cope with deeply nested AND/OR structures (like 10000 ORs in a row), whereas eval_const_expressions tends to recurse until it overruns the stack. Revise eval_const_expressions so that it doesn't choke on deeply nested ANDs or ORs.
2005-04-23Teach choose_bitmap_and() to actually be choosy --- that is, try toTom Lane
make some estimate of which available indexes to AND together, rather than blindly taking 'em all. This could probably stand further improvement, but it seems to do OK in simple tests.
2005-04-23Fix bogus EXPLAIN display of rowcount estimates for BitmapAnd andTom Lane
BitmapOr nodes.
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
2005-04-20Make pg_ctl status do a kill() test to verify that the PID found inTom Lane
postmaster.pid still represents a live postmaster.
2005-04-20Don't try to run clauseless index scans on index types that don't supportTom Lane
it. Per report from Marinos Yannikos.
2005-04-20Fix mis-display of negative fractional seconds in interval values forTom Lane
--enable-integer-datetimes case. Per report from Oliver Siegmar.
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
2005-04-18pg_dumpall should enforce the server version check for itself, ratherTom Lane
than simply passing it down to pg_dump. Else, version-related failures in pg_dumpall itself generate unhelpful error messages.
2005-04-18record_in and record_recv must be careful to return a separatelyTom Lane
pfree'able result, since some callers expect to be able to pfree the result of a pass-by-reference function. Per report from Chris Trawick.
2005-04-17Initial implementation of lossy-tuple-bitmap data structures.Tom Lane
Not connected to anything useful yet ...
2005-04-17Fix comment typo.Bruce Momjian
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.
2005-04-15Reduce PANIC to ERROR in several xlog routines that are used in bothTom Lane
critical and noncritical contexts (an example of noncritical being post-checkpoint removal of dead xlog segments). In the critical cases the CRIT_SECTION mechanism will cause ERROR to be promoted to PANIC anyway, and in the noncritical cases we shouldn't let an error take down the entire database. Arguably there should be *no* explicit PANIC errors in this module, only more START/END_CRIT_SECTION calls, but I didn't go that far. (Yet.)
2005-04-15Modify MoveOfflineLogs/InstallXLogFileSegment to avoid O(N^2) behaviorTom Lane
when recycling a large number of xlog segments during checkpoint. The former behavior searched from the same start point each time, requiring O(checkpoint_segments^2) stat() calls to relocate all the segments. Instead keep track of where we stopped last time through.
2005-04-15Revert addition of poorly-thought-out DUMP TIMESTAMP archive entry,Tom Lane
which induced bug #1597 in addition to having several other misbehaviors (like labeling the dump with a completion time having nothing to do with reality). Instead just print out the desired strings where RestoreArchive was already emitting the 'PostgreSQL database dump' and 'PostgreSQL database dump complete' strings.
2005-04-15This patch changes the use of varargs.h to stdarg.h asNeil Conway
required by modern versions of GCC. Niels Breet
2005-04-15Remove an unused variable "waitingForSignal". From Qingqing Zhou.Neil Conway
2005-04-14Make equalTupleDescs() compare attlen/attbyval/attalign rather thanTom Lane
assuming comparison of atttypid is sufficient. In a dropped column atttypid will be 0, and we'd better check the physical-storage data to make sure the tupdescs are physically compatible. I do not believe there is a real risk before 8.0, since before that we only used this routine to compare successive states of the tupdesc for a particular relation. But 8.0's typcache.c might be comparing arbitrary tupdescs so we'd better play it safer.
2005-04-14Put back blessing of record-function tupledesc, which I removed in aTom Lane
fit of over-optimization.
2005-04-14Don't try to constant-fold functions returning RECORD, since the optimizerTom Lane
isn't presently set up to pass them an expected tuple descriptor. Bug has been there since 7.3 but was just recently reported by Thomas Hallgren.
2005-04-14Must count '*' characters as potential arguments.Tom Lane
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 ...
2005-04-14Added patch by Philip Yarra <philip.yarra@internode.on.net> for a bug in ↵Michael Meskes
thread support.
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.
