Create the planner mechanism for optimizing simple MIN and MAX queries 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.

Reimplement planner's handling of MIN/MAX aggregate optimization. Per my recent proposal, get rid of all the direct inspection of indexes and manual generation of paths in planagg.c. Instead, set up EquivalenceClasses for the aggregate argument expressions, and let the regular path generation logic deal with creating paths that can satisfy those sort orders. This makes planagg.c a bit more visible to the rest of the planner than it was originally, but the approach is basically a lot cleaner than before. A major advantage of doing it this way is that we get MIN/MAX optimization on inheritance trees (using MergeAppend of indexscans) practically for free, whereas in the old way we'd have had to add a whole lot more duplicative logic. One small disadvantage of this approach is that MIN/MAX aggregates can no longer exploit partial indexes having an "x IS NOT NULL" predicate, unless that restriction or something that implies it is specified in the query. The previous implementation was able to use the added "x IS NOT NULL" condition as an extra predicate proof condition, but in this version we rely entirely on indexes that are considered usable by the main planning process. That seems a fair tradeoff for the simplicity and functionality gained.

Reimplement planner's handling of MIN/MAX aggregate optimization (again). Instead of playing cute games with pathkeys, just build a direct representation of the intended sub-select, and feed it through query_planner to get a Path for the index access. This is a bit slower than 9.1's previous method, since we'll duplicate most of the overhead of query_planner; but since the whole optimization only applies to rather simple single-table queries, that probably won't be much of a problem in practice. The advantage is that we get to do the right thing when there's a partial index that needs the implicit IS NOT NULL clause to be usable. Also, although this makes planagg.c be a bit more closely tied to the ordering of operations in grouping_planner, we can get rid of some coupling to lower-level parts of the planner. Per complaint from Marti Raudsepp.

#include "postgres.h"
Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.h This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.

Improve that. (I had initially thought it might be worth folding this into cost_qual_eval, but after investigation concluded that that wouldn't be very helpful, so just do it separately.) Per complaint from David Johnston. Back-patch to 9.2, but not further, for fear of destabilizing plan choices in existing releases.

#include "optimizer/subselect.h"
Fix generation of MergeAppend plans for optimized min/max on expressions. Before jamming a desired targetlist into a plan node, one really ought to make sure the plan node can handle projections, and insert a buffering Result plan node if not. planagg.c forgot to do this, which is a hangover from the days when it only dealt with IndexScan plan types. MergeAppend doesn't project though, not to mention that it gets unhappy if you remove its possibly-resjunk sort columns. The code accidentally failed to fail for cases in which the min/max argument was a simple Var, because the new targetlist would be equivalent to the original "flat" tlist anyway. For any more complex case, it's been broken since 9.1 where we introduced the ability to optimize min/max using MergeAppend, as reported by Raphael Bauduin. Fix by duplicating the logic from grouping_planner that decides whether we need a Result node. In 9.2 and 9.1, this requires back-porting the tlist_same_exprs() function introduced in commit 4387cf956b9eb13aad569634e0c4df081d76e2e3, else we'd uselessly add a Result node in cases that worked before. It's rather tempting to back-patch that whole commit so that we can avoid extra Result nodes in mainline cases too; but I'll refrain, since that code hasn't really seen all that much field testing yet.

static bool build_minmax_path(PlannerInfo *root, MinMaxAggInfo *mminfo,
Oid eqop, Oid sortop, bool nulls_first);
Postpone creation of pathkeys lists to fix bug #8049. This patch gets rid of the concept of, and infrastructure for, non-canonical PathKeys; we now only ever create canonical pathkey lists. The need for non-canonical pathkeys came from the desire to have grouping_planner initialize query_pathkeys and related pathkey lists before calling query_planner. However, since query_planner didn't actually *do* anything with those lists before they'd been made canonical, we can get rid of the whole mess by just not creating the lists at all until the point where we formerly canonicalized them. There are several ways in which we could implement that without making query_planner itself deal with grouping/sorting features (which are supposed to be the province of grouping_planner). I chose to add a callback function to query_planner's API; other alternatives would have required adding more fields to PlannerInfo, which while not bad in itself would create an ABI break for planner-related plugins in the 9.2 release series. This still breaks ABI for anything that calls query_planner directly, but it seems somewhat unlikely that there are any such plugins. I had originally conceived of this change as merely a step on the way to fixing bug #8049 from Teun Hoogendoorn; but it turns out that this fixes that bug all by itself, as per the added regression test. The reason is that now get_eclass_for_sort_expr is adding the ORDER BY expression at the end of EquivalenceClass creation not the start, and so anything that is in a multi-member EquivalenceClass has already been created with correct em_nullable_relids. I am suspicious that there are related scenarios in which we still need to teach get_eclass_for_sort_expr to compute correct nullable_relids, but am not eager to risk destabilizing either 9.2 or 9.3 to fix bugs that are only hypothetical. So for the moment, do this and stop here. Back-patch to 9.2 but not to earlier branches, since they don't exhibit this bug for lack of join-clause-movement logic that depends on em_nullable_relids being correct. (We might have to revisit that choice if any related bugs turn up.) In 9.2, don't change the signature of make_pathkeys_for_sortclauses nor remove canonicalize_pathkeys, so as not to risk more plugin breakage than we have to.

Reimplement planner's handling of MIN/MAX aggregate optimization. Per my recent proposal, get rid of all the direct inspection of indexes and manual generation of paths in planagg.c. Instead, set up EquivalenceClasses for the aggregate argument expressions, and let the regular path generation logic deal with creating paths that can satisfy those sort orders. This makes planagg.c a bit more visible to the rest of the planner than it was originally, but the approach is basically a lot cleaner than before. A major advantage of doing it this way is that we get MIN/MAX optimization on inheritance trees (using MergeAppend of indexscans) practically for free, whereas in the old way we'd have had to add a whole lot more duplicative logic. One small disadvantage of this approach is that MIN/MAX aggregates can no longer exploit partial indexes having an "x IS NOT NULL" predicate, unless that restriction or something that implies it is specified in the query. The previous implementation was able to use the added "x IS NOT NULL" condition as an extra predicate proof condition, but in this version we rely entirely on indexes that are considered usable by the main planning process. That seems a fair tradeoff for the simplicity and functionality gained.

Revisit handling of UNION ALL subqueries with non-Var output columns. In commit 57664ed25e5dea117158a2e663c29e60b3546e1c I tried to fix a bug reported by Teodor Sigaev by making non-simple-Var output columns distinct (by wrapping their expressions with dummy PlaceHolderVar nodes). This did not work too well. Commit b28ffd0fcc583c1811e5295279e7d4366c3cae6c fixed some ensuing problems with matching to child indexes, but per a recent report from Claus Stadler, constraint exclusion of UNION ALL subqueries was still broken, because constant-simplification didn't handle the injected PlaceHolderVars well either. On reflection, the original patch was quite misguided: there is no reason to expect that EquivalenceClass child members will be distinct. So instead of trying to make them so, we should ensure that we can cope with the situation when they're not. Accordingly, this patch reverts the code changes in the above-mentioned commits (though the regression test cases they added stay). Instead, I've added assorted defenses to make sure that duplicate EC child members don't cause any problems. Teodor's original problem ("MergeAppend child's targetlist doesn't match MergeAppend") is addressed more directly by revising prepare_sort_from_pathkeys to let the parent MergeAppend's sort list guide creation of each child's sort list. In passing, get rid of add_sort_column; as far as I can tell, testing for duplicate sort keys at this stage is dead code. Certainly it doesn't trigger often enough to be worth expending cycles on in ordinary queries. And keeping the test would've greatly complicated the new logic in prepare_sort_from_pathkeys, because comparing pathkey list entries against a previous output array requires that we not skip any entries in the list. Back-patch to 9.1, like the previous patches. The only known issue in this area that wasn't caused by the ill-advised previous patches was the MergeAppend planning failure, which of course is not relevant before 9.1. It's possible that we need some of the new defenses against duplicate child EC entries in older branches, but until there's some clear evidence of that I'm going to refrain from back-patching further.

Some further performance tweaks for planning large inheritance trees that are mostly excluded by constraints: do the CE test a bit earlier to save some adjust_appendrel_attrs() work on excluded children, and arrange to use array indexing rather than rt_fetch() to fetch RTEs in the main body of the planner. The latter is something I'd wanted to do for awhile anyway, but seeing list_nth_cell() as 35% of the runtime gets one's attention.

One small disadvantage of this approach is that MIN/MAX aggregates can no longer exploit partial indexes having an "x IS NOT NULL" predicate, unless that restriction or something that implies it is specified in the query.

Improve cost estimation for aggregates and window functions. The previous coding failed to account properly for the costs of evaluating the input expressions of aggregates and window functions, as seen in a recent gripe from Claudio Freire. (I said at the time that it wasn't counting these costs at all; but on closer inspection, it was effectively charging these costs once per output tuple. That is completely wrong for aggregates, and not exactly right for window functions either.) There was also a hard-wired assumption that aggregates and window functions had procost 1.0, which is now fixed to respect the actual cataloged costs.

Revise the planner's handling of "pseudoconstant" WHERE clauses, that is clauses containing no variables and no volatile functions. Such a clause can be used as a one-time qual in a gating Result plan node, to suppress plan execution entirely when it is false. Even when the clause is true, putting it in a gating node wins by avoiding repeated evaluation of the clause. In previous PG releases, query_planner() would do this for pseudoconstant clauses appearing at the top level of the jointree, but there was no ability to generate a gating Result deeper in the plan tree. To fix it, get rid of the special case in query_planner(), and instead process pseudoconstant clauses through the normal RestrictInfo qual distribution mechanism. When a pseudoconstant clause is found attached to a path node in create_plan(), pull it out and generate a gating Result at that point. This requires special-casing pseudoconstants in selectivity estimation and cost_qual_eval, but on the whole it's pretty clean. It probably even makes the planner a bit faster than before for the normal case of no pseudoconstants, since removing pull_constant_clauses saves one useless traversal of the qual tree.

Fix SELECT DISTINCT with index-optimized MIN/MAX on inheritance trees. In a query such as "SELECT DISTINCT min(x) FROM tab", the DISTINCT is pretty useless (there being only one output row), but nonetheless it shouldn't fail. But it could fail if "tab" is an inheritance parent, because planagg.c's code for fixing up equivalence classes after making the index-optimized MIN/MAX transformation wasn't prepared to find child-table versions of the aggregate expression. The least ugly fix seems to be to add an option to mutate_eclass_expressions() to skip child-table equivalence class members, which aren't used anymore at this stage of planning so it's not really necessary to fix them. Since child members are ignored in many cases already, it seems plausible for mutate_eclass_expressions() to have an option to ignore them too. Per bug #7703 from Maxim Boguk. Back-patch to 9.1.

Turn the rangetable used by the executor into a flat list, and avoid storing useless substructure for its RangeTblEntry nodes. (I chose to keep using the same struct node type and just zero out the link fields for unneeded info, rather than making a separate ExecRangeTblEntry type --- it seemed too fragile to have two different rangetable representations.) Along the way, put subplans into a list in the toplevel PlannedStmt node, and have SubPlan nodes refer to them by list index instead of direct pointers. Vadim wanted to do that years ago, but I never understood what he was on about until now. It makes things a *whole* lot more robust, because we can stop worrying about duplicate processing of subplans during expression tree traversals. That's been a constant source of bugs, and it's finally gone. There are some consequent simplifications yet to be made, like not using a separate EState for subplans in the executor, but I'll tackle that later.

Support ORDER BY within aggregate function calls, at long last providing a non-kluge method for controlling the order in which values are fed to an aggregate function. At the same time eliminate the old implementation restriction that DISTINCT was only supported for single-argument aggregates. Possibly release-notable behavioral change: formerly, agg(DISTINCT x) dropped null values of x unconditionally. Now, it does so only if the agg transition function is strict; otherwise nulls are treated as DISTINCT normally would, ie, you get one copy. Andrew Gierth, reviewed by Hitoshi Harada

Reimplement planner's handling of MIN/MAX aggregate optimization. Per my recent proposal, get rid of all the direct inspection of indexes and manual generation of paths in planagg.c. Instead, set up EquivalenceClasses for the aggregate argument expressions, and let the regular path generation logic deal with creating paths that can satisfy those sort orders. This makes planagg.c a bit more visible to the rest of the planner than it was originally, but the approach is basically a lot cleaner than before. A major advantage of doing it this way is that we get MIN/MAX optimization on inheritance trees (using MergeAppend of indexscans) practically for free, whereas in the old way we'd have had to add a whole lot more duplicative logic. One small disadvantage of this approach is that MIN/MAX aggregates can no longer exploit partial indexes having an "x IS NOT NULL" predicate, unless that restriction or something that implies it is specified in the query. The previous implementation was able to use the added "x IS NOT NULL" condition as an extra predicate proof condition, but in this version we rely entirely on indexes that are considered usable by the main planning process. That seems a fair tradeoff for the simplicity and functionality gained.

Simplify query_planner's API by having it return the top-level RelOptInfo. Formerly, query_planner returned one or possibly two Paths for the topmost join relation, so that grouping_planner didn't see the join RelOptInfo (at least not directly; it didn't have any hesitation about examining cheapest_path->parent, though). However, correct selection of the Paths involved a significant amount of coupling between query_planner and grouping_planner, a problem which has gotten worse over time. It seems best to give up on this API choice and instead return the topmost RelOptInfo explicitly. Then grouping_planner can pull out the Paths it wants from the rel's path list. In this way we can remove all knowledge of grouping behaviors from query_planner. The only real benefit of the old way is that in the case of an empty FROM clause, we never made any RelOptInfos at all, just a Path. Now we have to gin up a dummy RelOptInfo to represent the empty FROM clause. That's not a very big deal though. While at it, simplify query_planner's API a bit more by having the caller set up root->tuple_fraction and root->limit_tuples, rather than passing those values as separate parameters. Since query_planner no longer does anything with either value, requiring it to fill the PlannerInfo fields seemed pretty arbitrary. This patch just rearranges code; it doesn't (intentionally) change any behaviors. Followup patches will do more interesting things.

Support ordered-set (WITHIN GROUP) aggregates. This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(), percent_rank(), cume_dist()). We also added mode() though it is not in the spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data. Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions. To allow the support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c. This allows retrieval of the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the immediate need. There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up. In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER additions for aggregates. Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT. It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types but not these.

Reimplement planner's handling of MIN/MAX aggregate optimization. Per my recent proposal, get rid of all the direct inspection of indexes and manual generation of paths in planagg.c. Instead, set up EquivalenceClasses for the aggregate argument expressions, and let the regular path generation logic deal with creating paths that can satisfy those sort orders. This makes planagg.c a bit more visible to the rest of the planner than it was originally, but the approach is basically a lot cleaner than before. A major advantage of doing it this way is that we get MIN/MAX optimization on inheritance trees (using MergeAppend of indexscans) practically for free, whereas in the old way we'd have had to add a whole lot more duplicative logic. One small disadvantage of this approach is that MIN/MAX aggregates can no longer exploit partial indexes having an "x IS NOT NULL" predicate, unless that restriction or something that implies it is specified in the query. The previous implementation was able to use the added "x IS NOT NULL" condition as an extra predicate proof condition, but in this version we rely entirely on indexes that are considered usable by the main planning process. That seems a fair tradeoff for the simplicity and functionality gained.

Simplify query_planner's API by having it return the top-level RelOptInfo. Formerly, query_planner returned one or possibly two Paths for the topmost join relation, so that grouping_planner didn't see the join RelOptInfo (at least not directly; it didn't have any hesitation about examining cheapest_path->parent, though). However, correct selection of the Paths involved a significant amount of coupling between query_planner and grouping_planner, a problem which has gotten worse over time. It seems best to give up on this API choice and instead return the topmost RelOptInfo explicitly. Then grouping_planner can pull out the Paths it wants from the rel's path list. In this way we can remove all knowledge of grouping behaviors from query_planner. The only real benefit of the old way is that in the case of an empty FROM clause, we never made any RelOptInfos at all, just a Path. Now we have to gin up a dummy RelOptInfo to represent the empty FROM clause. That's not a very big deal though. While at it, simplify query_planner's API a bit more by having the caller set up root->tuple_fraction and root->limit_tuples, rather than passing those values as separate parameters. Since query_planner no longer does anything with either value, requiring it to fill the PlannerInfo fields seemed pretty arbitrary. This patch just rearranges code; it doesn't (intentionally) change any behaviors. Followup patches will do more interesting things.

Fix up planner infrastructure to support LATERAL properly. This patch takes care of a number of problems having to do with failure to choose valid join orders and incorrect handling of lateral references pulled up from subqueries. Notable changes: * Add a LateralJoinInfo data structure similar to SpecialJoinInfo, to represent join ordering constraints created by lateral references. (I first considered extending the SpecialJoinInfo structure, but the semantics are different enough that a separate data structure seems better.) Extend join_is_legal() and related functions to prevent trying to form unworkable joins, and to ensure that we will consider joins that satisfy lateral references even if the joins would be clauseless. * Fill in the infrastructure needed for the last few types of relation scan paths to support parameterization. We'd have wanted this eventually anyway, but it is necessary now because a relation that gets pulled up out of a UNION ALL subquery may acquire a reltargetlist containing lateral references, meaning that its paths *have* to be parameterized whether or not we have any code that can push join quals down into the scan. * Compute data about lateral references early in query_planner(), and save in RelOptInfo nodes, to avoid repetitive calculations later. * Assorted corner-case bug fixes. There's probably still some bugs left, but this is a lot closer to being real than it was before.

if (!sorted_path)
Simplify query_planner's API by having it return the top-level RelOptInfo. Formerly, query_planner returned one or possibly two Paths for the topmost join relation, so that grouping_planner didn't see the join RelOptInfo (at least not directly; it didn't have any hesitation about examining cheapest_path->parent, though). However, correct selection of the Paths involved a significant amount of coupling between query_planner and grouping_planner, a problem which has gotten worse over time. It seems best to give up on this API choice and instead return the topmost RelOptInfo explicitly. Then grouping_planner can pull out the Paths it wants from the rel's path list. In this way we can remove all knowledge of grouping behaviors from query_planner. The only real benefit of the old way is that in the case of an empty FROM clause, we never made any RelOptInfos at all, just a Path. Now we have to gin up a dummy RelOptInfo to represent the empty FROM clause. That's not a very big deal though. While at it, simplify query_planner's API a bit more by having the caller set up root->tuple_fraction and root->limit_tuples, rather than passing those values as separate parameters. Since query_planner no longer does anything with either value, requiring it to fill the PlannerInfo fields seemed pretty arbitrary. This patch just rearranges code; it doesn't (intentionally) change any behaviors. Followup patches will do more interesting things.

Postpone creation of pathkeys lists to fix bug #8049. This patch gets rid of the concept of, and infrastructure for, non-canonical PathKeys; we now only ever create canonical pathkey lists. The need for non-canonical pathkeys came from the desire to have grouping_planner initialize query_pathkeys and related pathkey lists before calling query_planner. However, since query_planner didn't actually *do* anything with those lists before they'd been made canonical, we can get rid of the whole mess by just not creating the lists at all until the point where we formerly canonicalized them. There are several ways in which we could implement that without making query_planner itself deal with grouping/sorting features (which are supposed to be the province of grouping_planner). I chose to add a callback function to query_planner's API; other alternatives would have required adding more fields to PlannerInfo, which while not bad in itself would create an ABI break for planner-related plugins in the 9.2 release series. This still breaks ABI for anything that calls query_planner directly, but it seems somewhat unlikely that there are any such plugins. I had originally conceived of this change as merely a step on the way to fixing bug #8049 from Teun Hoogendoorn; but it turns out that this fixes that bug all by itself, as per the added regression test. The reason is that now get_eclass_for_sort_expr is adding the ORDER BY expression at the end of EquivalenceClass creation not the start, and so anything that is in a multi-member EquivalenceClass has already been created with correct em_nullable_relids. I am suspicious that there are related scenarios in which we still need to teach get_eclass_for_sort_expr to compute correct nullable_relids, but am not eager to risk destabilizing either 9.2 or 9.3 to fix bugs that are only hypothetical. So for the moment, do this and stop here. Back-patch to 9.2 but not to earlier branches, since they don't exhibit this bug for lack of join-clause-movement logic that depends on em_nullable_relids being correct. (We might have to revisit that choice if any related bugs turn up.) In 9.2, don't change the signature of make_pathkeys_for_sortclauses nor remove canonicalize_pathkeys, so as not to risk more plugin breakage than we have to.

Plan *plan;
Reimplement planner's handling of MIN/MAX aggregate optimization. Per my recent proposal, get rid of all the direct inspection of indexes and manual generation of paths in planagg.c. Instead, set up EquivalenceClasses for the aggregate argument expressions, and let the regular path generation logic deal with creating paths that can satisfy those sort orders. This makes planagg.c a bit more visible to the rest of the planner than it was originally, but the approach is basically a lot cleaner than before. A major advantage of doing it this way is that we get MIN/MAX optimization on inheritance trees (using MergeAppend of indexscans) practically for free, whereas in the old way we'd have had to add a whole lot more duplicative logic. One small disadvantage of this approach is that MIN/MAX aggregates can no longer exploit partial indexes having an "x IS NOT NULL" predicate, unless that restriction or something that implies it is specified in the query. The previous implementation was able to use the added "x IS NOT NULL" condition as an extra predicate proof condition, but in this version we rely entirely on indexes that are considered usable by the main planning process. That seems a fair tradeoff for the simplicity and functionality gained.

plan = create_plan(subroot, mminfo->path);
Revise the planner's handling of "pseudoconstant" WHERE clauses, that is clauses containing no variables and no volatile functions. Such a clause can be used as a one-time qual in a gating Result plan node, to suppress plan execution entirely when it is false. Even when the clause is true, putting it in a gating node wins by avoiding repeated evaluation of the clause. In previous PG releases, query_planner() would do this for pseudoconstant clauses appearing at the top level of the jointree, but there was no ability to generate a gating Result deeper in the plan tree. To fix it, get rid of the special case in query_planner(), and instead process pseudoconstant clauses through the normal RestrictInfo qual distribution mechanism. When a pseudoconstant clause is found attached to a path node in create_plan(), pull it out and generate a gating Result at that point. This requires special-casing pseudoconstants in selectivity estimation and cost_qual_eval, but on the whole it's pretty clean. It probably even makes the planner a bit faster than before for the normal case of no pseudoconstants, since removing pull_constant_clauses saves one useless traversal of the qual tree. Per gripe from Phil Frost.

Fix generation of MergeAppend plans for optimized min/max on expressions. Before jamming a desired targetlist into a plan node, one really ought to make sure the plan node can handle projections, and insert a buffering Result plan node if not. planagg.c forgot to do this, which is a hangover from the days when it only dealt with IndexScan plan types. MergeAppend doesn't project though, not to mention that it gets unhappy if you remove its possibly-resjunk sort columns. The code accidentally failed to fail for cases in which the min/max argument was a simple Var, because the new targetlist would be equivalent to the original "flat" tlist anyway. For any more complex case, it's been broken since 9.1 where we introduced the ability to optimize min/max using MergeAppend, as reported by Raphael Bauduin. Fix by duplicating the logic from grouping_planner that decides whether we need a Result node. In 9.2 and 9.1, this requires back-porting the tlist_same_exprs() function introduced in commit 4387cf956b9eb13aad569634e0c4df081d76e2e3, else we'd uselessly add a Result node in cases that worked before. It's rather tempting to back-patch that whole commit so that we can avoid extra Result nodes in mainline cases too; but I'll refrain, since that code hasn't really seen all that much field testing yet.

Fix mis-calculation of extParam/allParam sets for plan nodes, as seen in bug #4290. The fundamental bug is that masking extParam by outer_params, as finalize_plan had been doing, caused us to lose the information that an initPlan depended on the output of a sibling initPlan. On reflection the best thing to do seemed to be not to try to adjust outer_params for this case but get rid of it entirely. The only thing it was really doing for us was to filter out param IDs associated with SubPlan nodes, and that can be done (with greater accuracy) while processing individual SubPlan nodes in finalize_primnode. This approach was vindicated by the discovery that the masking method was hiding a second bug: SS_finalize_plan failed to remove extParam bits for initPlan output params that were referenced in the main plan tree (it only got rid of those referenced by other initPlans). It's not clear that this caused any real problems, given the limited use of extParam by the executor, but it's certainly not what was intended. I originally thought that there was also a problem with needing to include indirect dependencies on external params in initPlans' param sets, but it turns out that the executor handles this correctly so long as the depended-on initPlan is earlier in the initPlans list than the one using its output. That seems a bit of a fragile assumption, but it is true at the moment, so I just documented it in some code comments rather than making what would be rather invasive changes to remove the assumption. Back-patch to 8.1. Previous versions don't have the case of initPlans referring to other initPlans' outputs, so while the existing logic is still questionable for them, there are not any known bugs to be fixed.

This is a bit slower than 9.1's previous method, since we'll duplicate most of the overhead of query_planner; but since the whole optimization only applies to rather simple single-table queries, that probably won't be much of a problem in practice. The advantage is that we get to do the right thing when there's a partial index that needs the implicit IS NOT NULL clause to be usable. Also, although this makes planagg.c be a bit more closely tied to the ordering of operations in grouping_planner, we can get rid of some coupling to lower-level parts of the planner. Per complaint from Marti Raudsepp.

Create the planner mechanism for optimizing simple MIN and MAX queries 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.

Wrap calls to SearchSysCache and related functions using macros. The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists, GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code shorter, too. Design and review by Tom Lane.
