* RelOptInfo
* Per-relation information for planning/optimization
*
* For planning purposes, a "base rel" is either a plain relation (a table)
* or the output of a sub-SELECT or function that appears in the range table.
* In either case it is uniquely identified by an RT index. A "joinrel"
* is the joining of two or more base rels. A joinrel is identified by
* the set of RT indexes for its component baserels. We create RelOptInfo
* nodes for each baserel and joinrel, and store them in the PlannerInfo's
* simple_rel_array and join_rel_list respectively.
*
* Note that there is only one joinrel for any given set of component
* baserels, no matter what order we assemble them in; so an unordered
* set is the right datatype to identify it with.
*
* We also have "other rels", which are like base rels in that they refer to
* single RT indexes; but they are not part of the join tree, and are given
* a different RelOptKind to identify them.
*
* Currently the only kind of otherrels are those made for member relations
* of an "append relation", that is an inheritance set or UNION ALL subquery.
* An append relation has a parent RTE that is a base rel, which represents
2006-10-04 02:30:14 +02:00
* the entire append relation. The member RTEs are otherrels. The parent
* is present in the query join tree but the members are not. The member
* RTEs and otherrels are used to plan the scans of the individual tables or
* subqueries of the append set; then the parent baserel is given an Append
* plan comprising the best plans for the individual member rels. (See
* comments for AppendRelInfo for more information.)
*
* At one time we also made otherrels to represent join RTEs, for use in
* handling join alias Vars. Currently this is not needed because all join
* alias Vars are expanded to non-aliased form during preprocess_expression.
*
* Parts of this data structure are specific to various scan and join
2002-09-04 22:31:48 +02:00
* mechanisms. It didn't seem worth creating new node types for them.
*
* relids - Set of base-relation identifiers; it is a base relation
* if there is just one, a join relation if more than one
* rows - estimated number of tuples in the relation after restriction
* clauses have been applied (ie, output rows of a plan for it)
* width - avg. number of bytes per tuple in the relation after the
* appropriate projections have been done (ie, output width)
* reltargetlist - List of Var nodes for the attributes we need to
* output from this relation (in no particular order)
* NOTE: in a child relation, may contain RowExprs
* pathlist - List of Path nodes, one for each potentially useful
* method of generating the relation
* cheapest_startup_path - the pathlist member with lowest startup cost
* (regardless of its ordering)
* cheapest_total_path - the pathlist member with lowest total cost
* (regardless of its ordering)
* cheapest_unique_path - for caching cheapest path to produce unique
* (no duplicates) output from relation
*
* If the relation is a base relation it will have these fields set:
*
* relid - RTE index (this is redundant with the relids field, but
* is provided for convenience of access)
* rtekind - distinguishes plain relation, subquery, or function RTE
* min_attr, max_attr - range of valid AttrNumbers for rel
* attr_needed - array of bitmapsets indicating the highest joinrel
* in which each attribute is needed; if bit 0 is set then
* the attribute is needed as part of final targetlist
* attr_widths - cache space for per-attribute width estimates;
* zero means not computed yet
* indexlist - list of IndexOptInfo nodes for relation's indexes
* (always NIL if it's not a table)
* pages - number of disk pages in relation (zero if not a table)
* tuples - number of tuples in relation (not considering restrictions)
* subplan - plan for subquery (NULL if it's not a subquery)
*
* Note: for a subquery, tuples and subplan are not set immediately
* upon creation of the RelOptInfo object; they are filled in when
* set_base_rel_pathlist processes the object.
*
* For otherrels that are appendrel members, these fields are filled
* in just as for a baserel.
*
* The presence of the remaining fields depends on the restrictions
* and joins that the relation participates in:
*
* baserestrictinfo - List of RestrictInfo nodes, containing info about
* each non-join qualification clause in which this relation
* participates (only used for base rels)
* baserestrictcost - Estimated cost of evaluating the baserestrictinfo
* clauses at a single tuple (only used for base rels)
* joininfo - List of RestrictInfo nodes, containing info about each
* join clause in which this relation participates (but
* note this excludes clauses that might be derivable from
* EquivalenceClasses)
* has_eclass_joins - flag that EquivalenceClass joins are possible
* index_outer_relids - only used for base rels; set of outer relids
* that participate in indexable joinclauses for this rel
* index_inner_paths - only used for base rels; list of InnerIndexscanInfo
* nodes showing best indexpaths for various subsets of
* index_outer_relids.
*
* Note: Keeping a restrictinfo list in the RelOptInfo is useful only for
* base rels, because for a join rel the set of clauses that are treated as
* restrict clauses varies depending on which sub-relations we choose to join.
* (For example, in a 3-base-rel join, a clause relating rels 1 and 2 must be
* treated as a restrictclause if we join {1} and {2 3} to make {1 2 3}; but
* if we join {1 2} and {3} then that clause will be a restrictclause in {1 2}
* and should not be processed again at the level of {1 2 3}.) Therefore,
* the restrictinfo list in the join case appears in individual JoinPaths
* (field joinrestrictinfo), not in the parent relation. But it's OK for
* the RelOptInfo to store the joininfo list, because that is the same
* for a given rel no matter how we form it.
*
* We store baserestrictcost in the RelOptInfo (for base relations) because
* we know we will need it at least once (to price the sequential scan)
* and may need it multiple times to price index scans.

* EquivalenceClasses
*
* Whenever we can determine that a mergejoinable equality clause A = B is
* not delayed by any outer join, we create an EquivalenceClass containing
* the expressions A and B to record this knowledge. If we later find another
* equivalence B = C, we add C to the existing EquivalenceClass; this may
* require merging two existing EquivalenceClasses. At the end of the qual
* distribution process, we have sets of values that are known all transitively
* equal to each other, where "equal" is according to the rules of the btree
* operator family(s) shown in ec_opfamilies. (We restrict an EC to contain
* only equalities whose operators belong to the same set of opfamilies. This
* could probably be relaxed, but for now it's not worth the trouble, since
* nearly all equality operators belong to only one btree opclass anyway.)
*
* We also use EquivalenceClasses as the base structure for PathKeys, letting
* us represent knowledge about different sort orderings being equivalent.
* Since every PathKey must reference an EquivalenceClass, we will end up
* with single-member EquivalenceClasses whenever a sort key expression has
* not been equivalenced to anything else. It is also possible that such an
* EquivalenceClass will contain a volatile expression ("ORDER BY random()"),
* which is a case that can't arise otherwise since clauses containing
* volatile functions are never considered mergejoinable. We mark such
* EquivalenceClasses specially to prevent them from being merged with
* ordinary EquivalenceClasses.
*
* We allow equality clauses appearing below the nullable side of an outer join
* to form EquivalenceClasses, but these have a slightly different meaning:
* the included values might be all NULL rather than all the same non-null
* values. See src/backend/optimizer/README for more on that point.
*
* NB: if ec_merged isn't NULL, this class has been merged into another, and
* should be ignored in favor of using the pointed-to class.

* Restriction clause info.
*
* We create one of these for each AND sub-clause of a restriction condition
* (WHERE or JOIN/ON clause). Since the restriction clauses are logically
* ANDed, we can use any one of them or any subset of them to filter out
* tuples, without having to evaluate the rest. The RestrictInfo node itself
* stores data used by the optimizer while choosing the best query plan.
*
* If a restriction clause references a single base relation, it will appear
* in the baserestrictinfo list of the RelOptInfo for that base rel.
*
* If a restriction clause references more than one base rel, it will
* appear in the joininfo list of every RelOptInfo that describes a strict
* subset of the base rels mentioned in the clause. The joininfo lists are
* used to drive join tree building by selecting plausible join candidates.
* The clause cannot actually be applied until we have built a join rel
* containing all the base rels it references, however.
*
* When we construct a join rel that includes all the base rels referenced
* in a multi-relation restriction clause, we place that clause into the
* joinrestrictinfo lists of paths for the join rel, if neither left nor
2001-03-22 05:01:46 +01:00
* right sub-path includes all base rels referenced in the clause. The clause
* will be applied at that join level, and will not propagate any further up
* the join tree. (Note: the "predicate migration" code was once intended to
* push restriction clauses up and down the plan tree based on evaluation
* costs, but it's dead code and is unlikely to be resurrected in the
* foreseeable future.)
*
* Note that in the presence of more than two rels, a multi-rel restriction
* might reach different heights in the join tree depending on the join
* sequence we use. So, these clauses cannot be associated directly with
* the join RelOptInfo, but must be kept track of on a per-join-path basis.
*
* RestrictInfos that represent equivalence conditions (i.e., mergejoinable
* equalities that are not outerjoin-delayed) are handled a bit differently.
* Initially we attach them to the EquivalenceClasses that are derived from
* them. When we construct a scan or join path, we look through all the
* EquivalenceClasses and generate derived RestrictInfos representing the
* minimal set of conditions that need to be checked for this particular scan
* or join to enforce that all members of each EquivalenceClass are in fact
* equal in all rows emitted by the scan or join.
*
* When dealing with outer joins we have to be very careful about pushing qual
* clauses up and down the tree. An outer join's own JOIN/ON conditions must
* be evaluated exactly at that join node, and any quals appearing in WHERE or
* in a JOIN above the outer join cannot be pushed down below the outer join.
* Otherwise the outer join will produce wrong results because it will see the
* wrong sets of input rows. All quals are stored as RestrictInfo nodes
* during planning, but there's a flag to indicate whether a qual has been
* pushed down to a lower level than its original syntactic placement in the
* join tree would suggest. If an outer join prevents us from pushing a qual
* down to its "natural" semantic level (the level associated with just the
* base rels used in the qual) then we mark the qual with a "required_relids"
* value including more than just the base rels it actually uses. By
* pretending that the qual references all the rels appearing in the outer
* join, we prevent it from being evaluated below the outer join's joinrel.
* When we do form the outer join's joinrel, we still need to distinguish
* those quals that are actually in that join's JOIN/ON condition from those
* that appeared elsewhere in the tree and were pushed down to the join rel
* because they used no other rels. That's what the is_pushed_down flag is
* for; it tells us that a qual is not an OUTER JOIN qual for the set of base
* rels listed in required_relids. A clause that originally came from WHERE
* or an INNER JOIN condition will *always* have its is_pushed_down flag set.
* It's possible for an OUTER JOIN clause to be marked is_pushed_down too,
* if we decide that it can be pushed down into the nullable side of the join.
* In that case it acts as a plain filter qual for wherever it gets evaluated.
*
* When application of a qual must be delayed by outer join, we also mark it
* with outerjoin_delayed = true. This isn't redundant with required_relids
* because that might equal clause_relids whether or not it's an outer-join
* clause.
*
* In general, the referenced clause might be arbitrarily complex. The
* kinds of clauses we can handle as indexscan quals, mergejoin clauses,
* or hashjoin clauses are limited (e.g., no volatile functions). The code
* for each kind of path is responsible for identifying the restrict clauses
* it can use and ignoring the rest. Clauses not implemented by an indexscan,
* mergejoin, or hashjoin will be placed in the plan qual or joinqual field
* of the finished Plan node, where they will be enforced by general-purpose
* qual-expression-evaluation code. (But we are still entitled to count
* their selectivity when estimating the result tuple count, if we
* can guess what it is...)
*
* When the referenced clause is an OR clause, we generate a modified copy
* in which additional RestrictInfo nodes are inserted below the top-level
* OR/AND structure. This is a convenience for OR indexscan processing:
* indexquals taken from either the top level or an OR subclause will have
* associated RestrictInfo nodes.
*
* The can_join flag is set true if the clause looks potentially useful as
* a merge or hash join clause, that is if it is a binary opclause with
* nonoverlapping sets of relids referenced in the left and right sides.
* (Whether the operator is actually merge or hash joinable isn't checked,
* however.)
*
* The pseudoconstant flag is set true if the clause contains no Vars of
* the current query level and no volatile functions. Such a clause can be
2006-10-04 02:30:14 +02:00
* pulled out and used as a one-time qual in a gating Result node. We keep
* pseudoconstant clauses in the same lists as other RestrictInfos so that
* the regular clause-pushing machinery can assign them to the correct join
* level, but they need to be treated specially for cost and selectivity
* estimates. Note that a pseudoconstant clause can never be an indexqual
* or merge or hash join clause, so it's of no interest to large parts of
* the planner.
*
* When join clauses are generated from EquivalenceClasses, there may be
* several equally valid ways to enforce join equivalence, of which we need
* apply only one. We mark clauses of this kind by setting parent_ec to
* point to the generating EquivalenceClass. Multiple clauses with the same
* parent_ec in the same join are redundant.
