From 46e3a16b050a23b924e5d8a75c8bb7068c26aa96 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Wed, 28 Oct 2009 14:55:47 +0000 Subject: When FOR UPDATE/SHARE is used with LIMIT, put the LockRows plan node underneath the Limit node, not atop it. This fixes the old problem that such a query might unexpectedly return fewer rows than the LIMIT says, due to LockRows discarding updated rows. There is a related problem that LockRows might destroy the sort ordering produced by earlier steps; but fixing that by pushing LockRows below Sort would create serious performance problems that are unjustified in many real-world applications, as well as potential deadlock problems from locking many more rows than expected. Instead, keep the present semantics of applying FOR UPDATE after ORDER BY within a single query level; but allow the user to specify the other way by writing FOR UPDATE in a sub-select. To make that work, track whether FOR UPDATE appeared explicitly in sub-selects or got pushed down from the parent, and don't flatten a sub-select that contained an explicit FOR UPDATE. --- src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c') diff --git a/src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c b/src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c index a1520276e22..4192ca7e330 100644 --- a/src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c +++ b/src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ * * * IDENTIFICATION - * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c,v 1.226 2009/10/26 02:26:32 tgl Exp $ + * $PostgreSQL: pgsql/src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c,v 1.227 2009/10/28 14:55:38 tgl Exp $ * * NOTES * Path and Plan nodes do not have any readfuncs support, because we @@ -203,6 +203,7 @@ _readQuery(void) READ_BOOL_FIELD(hasSubLinks); READ_BOOL_FIELD(hasDistinctOn); READ_BOOL_FIELD(hasRecursive); + READ_BOOL_FIELD(hasForUpdate); READ_NODE_FIELD(cteList); READ_NODE_FIELD(rtable); READ_NODE_FIELD(jointree); @@ -295,6 +296,7 @@ _readRowMarkClause(void) READ_UINT_FIELD(rti); READ_BOOL_FIELD(forUpdate); READ_BOOL_FIELD(noWait); + READ_BOOL_FIELD(pushedDown); READ_DONE(); } -- cgit v1.2.3
