if we already have a stronger lock due to the index's table being the
update target table of the query. Same optimization I applied earlier
at the table level. There doesn't seem to be much interest in the more
radical idea of not locking indexes at all, so do what we can ...
relation if it's already been locked by execMain.c as either a result
relation or a FOR UPDATE/SHARE relation. This avoids an extra trip to
the shared lock manager state. Per my suggestion yesterday.
qualification when the underlying operator is indexable and useOr is true.
That is, indexkey op ANY (ARRAY[...]) is effectively translated into an
OR combination of one indexscan for each array element. This only works
for bitmap index scans, of course, since regular indexscans no longer
support OR'ing of scans. There are still some loose ends to clean up
before changing 'x IN (list)' to translate as a ScalarArrayOpExpr;
for instance predtest.c ought to be taught about it. But this gets the
basic functionality in place.
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.
which is neither needed by nor related to that header. Remove the bogus
inclusion and instead include the header in those C files that actually
need it. Also fix unnecessary inclusions and bad inclusion order in
tsearch2 files.
startup to end, rather than re-opening it in each MultiExecBitmapIndexScan
call. I had foolishly thought that opening/closing wouldn't be much
more expensive than a rescan call, but that was sheer brain fade.
This seems to fix about half of the performance lossage reported by
Sergey Koposov. I'm still not sure where the other half went.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
