returns-set boolean field in Func and Oper nodes. This allows cleaner,
more reliable tests for expressions returning sets in the planner and
parser. For example, a WHERE clause returning a set is now detected
and complained of in the parser, not only at runtime.
some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's
no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe
doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
lists to join RTEs, attach a list of Vars and COALESCE expressions that will
replace the join's alias variables during planning. This simplifies
flatten_join_alias_vars while still making it easy to fix up varno references
when transforming the query tree. Add regression test cases for interactions
of subqueries with outer joins.
qualified operator names directly, for example CREATE OPERATOR myschema.+
( ... ). To qualify an operator name in an expression you need to write
OPERATOR(myschema.+) (thanks to Peter for suggesting an escape hatch).
I also took advantage of having to reformat pg_operator to fix something
that'd been bugging me for a while: mergejoinable operators should have
explicit links to the associated cross-data-type comparison operators,
rather than hardwiring an assumption that they are named < and >.
entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in
namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c.
Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type
coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The
current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like,
but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided
breaking regression tests as much as I could.
INSERT statements to the planner. Taking it out of the parser was right
(so that defaults don't get into stored rules), but it has to happen
before rewrite rule expansion, else references to NEW.field behave
incorrectly. Accordingly, add a step to the rewriter to insert defaults
just before rewrite-rule expansion.
volatile), rather than the old cachable/noncachable distinction. This
allows indexscan optimizations in many places where we formerly didn't.
Also, add a pronamespace column to pg_proc (it doesn't do anything yet,
however).
addRangeTableEntry calls. Remove relname field from RTEs, since
it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations;
we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead.
Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema
names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible
command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command.
No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field
from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars
referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows
reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather
than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do.
Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner
joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug
reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias
Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end
of planning, rather than during parsing.
Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in
EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work.
initdb forced due to change of stored-rule representation.
- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs
- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]
Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];
Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.
Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().
Some documentation differences from earlier.
If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests. I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.
CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes. FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly. Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().

o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.

Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
both input streams to the end. If one variable's range is much less
than the other, an indexscan-based merge can win by not scanning all
of the other table. Per example from Reinhard Max.
Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is
safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic
set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache
indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting
out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction
commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off
relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed.
Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index
tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache
index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during
relcache load.
Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi,
move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly
ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows
simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache
and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c
when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and
does not need any expensive initialization.
Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan
(this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).
set-returning functions in its target list. This ensures that we
won't rewrite the query in a way that places set-returning functions
into quals (WHERE clauses). Cf. bug reports from Joe Conway.

unsurprisingly with rules. See pgsql-bugs discussion 24-Oct-01.
from Philip Warner. Side effect of change is that GROUP BY expressions
will not be re-evaluated at multiple plan levels anymore, whereas this
sometimes happened with old code.
clause being added to a particular restriction-clause list is redundant
with those already in the list. This avoids useless work at runtime,
and (perhaps more importantly) keeps the selectivity estimation routines
from generating too-small estimates of numbers of output rows.
Also some minor improvements in OPTIMIZER_DEBUG displays.
If there's anyone out there who's actually using datatype-defined
default values, this will be an incompatible change in behavior ...
but the old behavior was so broken that I doubt anyone was using it.
pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.
Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.

a tad sloppy about generating the targetlist for some nodes, by generating
a tlist entry that claimed to be a constant when the value wasn't actually
constant. This caused setrefs.c to do the wrong thing later on.
clauses are equal(), before trying to match them up using btree opclass
inference rules. This allows it to recognize many simple cases involving
non-btree operations, for example 'x IS NULL'. Clean up code a little.
more care with resjunk tlist entries than it was doing. The original
coding ignored resjunk entries entirely, but a resjunk entry that is
in either the distinctClause or sortClause lists indicates that DISTINCT
ON was used. It's important for ruleutils.c to get this right, else we
may dump views using DISTINCT ON incorrectly.
has a DISTINCT ON clause, per bug report from Anthony Wood. While at it,
improve the DISTINCT-ON-clause recognizer routine to not be fooled by out-
of-order DISTINCT lists.
Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough.
However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be
able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.
per previous discussion on pghackers. Most of the duplicate code in
different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine
in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about
inserting recently-dead tuples, etc. (I also removed support for EXTEND
INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and
it cluttered the code a lot.) The retail indextuple deletion routines have
been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside
the access method. I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet,
but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping
for deletions. Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various
hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns.
Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this,
gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko
bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with
the performance problems we've heard about occasionally).
Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static
state that needs to be reset after an error. We discovered this need long
ago for btree, but missed the other guys.
Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.
IS TRUE, etc, with some degree of verisimilitude. Split out
selectivity support functions from builtins.h into a new header

WHERE (a = 1 or a = 2) and b = 42
and an index on (a,b), include the clause b = 42 in the indexquals
generated for each arm of the OR clause. Essentially this is an index-
driven conversion from CNF to DNF. Implementation is a bit klugy, but
better than not exploiting the extra quals at all ...
of costsize.c routines to pass Query root, so that costsize can figure
more things out by itself and not be so dependent on its callers to tell
it everything it needs to know. Use selectivity of hash or merge clause
to estimate number of tuples processed internally in these joins
(this is more useful than it would've been before, since eqjoinsel is
somewhat more accurate than before).
create_index_paths are not immediately discarded, but are available for
subsequent planner work. This allows avoiding redundant syscache lookups
in several places. Change interface to operator selectivity estimation
procedures to allow faster and more flexible estimation.
Initdb forced due to change of pg_proc entries for selectivity functions!
collected by ANALYZE. Also, add some modest amount of intelligence to
guesses that are used for varlena columns in the absence of any ANALYZE
statistics. The 'width' reported by EXPLAIN is finally something less
than totally bogus for varlena columns ... and, in consequence, hashjoin
estimating should be a little better ...
a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too).
pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are
stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values,
not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random
sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large
tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now
user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command.
There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere
they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project
should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before.
A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison
routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.
join. This is needed to avoid improper evaluation of expressions that
should be nulled out, as in Victor Wagner's bug report of 4/27/01.
Pretty ugly solution, but no time to do anything better for 7.1.1.
to specific base or join RelOptInfo nodes during planning. This preserves
the more-intuitive behavior of 7.0.* --- if you write an expensive clause
(such as a sub-select) last, it should get evaluated last. Someday we
ought to try to have some intelligence about the order of evaluation of
WHERE clauses, but for now we should not override what the user wrote.
join clauses. The mergejoin executor wants all the join clauses to appear
as merge quals, not as extra joinquals, for these kinds of joins. But the
planner would consider plans in which partially-sorted input paths were
used, leading to only some of the join clauses becoming merge quals.
This is fine for inner/left joins, not fine for right/full joins.
inheritance query: make duplicate copies of subplans in adjust_inherited_attrs.
When we redesign querytrees we really gotta do something about this
issue of whether querytrees are read-only and can share substructure
or not.
1. If there is exactly one pg_operator entry of the right name and oprkind,
oper() and related routines would return that entry whether its input type
had anything to do with the request or not. This is just premature
optimization: we shouldn't return the single candidate until after we verify
that it really is a valid candidate, ie, is at least coercion-compatible
with the given types.
2. oper() and related routines only promise a coercion-compatible result.
Unfortunately, there were quite a few callers that assumed the returned
operator is binary-compatible with the given datatype; they would proceed
to call it without making any datatype coercions. These callers include
sorting, grouping, aggregation, and VACUUM ANALYZE. In general I think
it is appropriate for these callers to require an exact or binary-compatible
match, so I've added a new routine compatible_oper() that only succeeds if
it can find an operator that doesn't require any run-time conversions.
Callers now call oper() or compatible_oper() depending on whether they are
prepared to deal with type conversion or not.
The upshot of these bugs is revealed by the following silliness in PL/Tcl's
selftest: it creates an operator @< on int4, and then tries to use it to
sort a char(N) column. The system would let it do that :-( (and evidently
has done so since 6.3 :-( :-(). The result in this case was just a silly
sort order, but the reverse combination would've provoked coredump from
trying to dereference integers. With this fix you get more reasonable
behavior:
pltcl_test=# select * from T_pkey1 order by key1, key2 using @<;
ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '@<' for types 'bpchar' and 'bpchar'
You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast
try to push restrictions on the view down into the view subquery,
so that they can become indexscan quals or what-have-you rather than
being applied at the top level of the subquery. 7.0 and before were
able to do this, though in a much klugier way, and I'd hate to have
anyone complaining that 7.1 is stupider than 7.0 ...
as both a GROUP BY item and an output expression, the top-level Group
node should just copy up the evaluated expression value from its input,
rather than re-evaluating the expression. Aside from any performance
benefit this might offer, this avoids a crash when there is a sub-SELECT
in said expression.
comparison does not consider paths different when they differ only in
uninteresting aspects of sort order. (We had a special case of this
consideration for indexscans already, but generalize it to apply to
ordered join paths too.) Be stricter about what is a canonical pathkey
to allow faster pathkey comparison. Cache canonical pathkeys and
dispersion stats for left and right sides of a RestrictInfo's clause,
to avoid repeated computation. Total speedup will depend on number of
tables in a query, but I see about 4x speedup of planning phase for
a sample seven-table query.
avoid repeated evaluations in cost_qual_eval(). This turns out to save
a useful fraction of planning time. No change to external representation
of RestrictInfo --- although that node type doesn't appear in stored
rules anyway.
work where we can (given that the executor only handles it at top level)
and generate an error where we can't. Note that while the parser has
been allowing views to say SELECT FOR UPDATE for a few weeks now, that
hasn't actually worked until just now.
re-adopt these settings at every postmaster or standalone-backend startup.
This should fix problems with indexes becoming corrupt due to failure to
provide consistent locale environment for postmaster at all times. Also,
refuse to start up a non-locale-enabled compilation in a database originally
initdb'd with a non-C locale. Suppress LIKE index optimization if locale
is not "C" or "POSIX" (are there any other locales where it's safe?).
Issue NOTICE during initdb if selected locale disables LIKE optimization.

the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
joins, and clean things up a good deal at the same time. Append plan node
no longer hacks on rangetable at runtime --- instead, all child tables are
given their own RT entries during planning. Concept of multiple target
tables pushed up into execMain, replacing bug-prone implementation within
nodeAppend. Planner now supports generating Append plans for inheritance
sets either at the top of the plan (the old way) or at the bottom. Expanding
at the bottom is appropriate for tables used as sources, since they may
appear inside an outer join; but we must still expand at the top when the
target of an UPDATE or DELETE is an inheritance set, because we actually need
a different targetlist and junkfilter for each target table in that case.
Fortunately a target table can't be inside an outer join... Bizarre mutual
recursion between union_planner and prepunion.c is gone --- in fact,
union_planner doesn't really have much to do with union queries anymore,
so I renamed it grouping_planner.
ExecutorRun. This allows LIMIT to work in a view. Also, LIMIT in a
cursor declaration will behave in a reasonable fashion, whereas before
it was overridden by the FETCH count.
SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used
in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too.
This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT
where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did
that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like
subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the
datatype conversions can be inserted safely.
INITDB NEEDED!
(Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding
to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually
work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views
yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking
moved out of rewriter and into executor.
INITDB REQUIRED!
complaints about ungrouped variables. This is for consistency with
behavior elsewhere, notably the fact that the relname is reported as
an alias in these same complaints. Also, it'll work with subselect-
in-FROM where old code didn't.
query representation. Note that GEQO_RELS setting is now interpreted
as the number of top-level items in the FROM list, not necessarily the
number of relations in the query. This seems appropriate since we are
only doing join-path searching over the top-level items.
for example, an SQL function can be used in a functional index. (I make
no promises about speed, but it'll work ;-).) Clean up and simplify
handling of functions returning sets.

that contain resjunk target items, and improve error messages. This
addresses bug reported by Krupnikov 6-July-00.
macros where appropriate (the code used to have several different ways
of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...). Remove last few
references to float32 and float64 typedefs --- it's all float4/float8
now. The typedefs themselves should probably stay in c.h for a release
or two, though, to avoid breaking user-written C functions.
right thing with variable-free clauses that contain noncachable functions,
such as 'WHERE random() < 0.5' --- these are evaluated once per
potential output tuple. Expressions that contain only Params are
now candidates to be indexscan quals --- for example, 'var = ($1 + 1)'
can now be indexed. Cope with RelabelType nodes atop potential indexscan
variables --- this oversight prevents 7.0.* from recognizing some
potentially indexscanable situations.

it's actually needed. Clean up some other unused fields in Func nodes

do for now, but perhaps we can do better when we redesign querytrees.
What we need is a consistent policy about whether querytrees should be
considered read-only structures or not ...

didn't exploit the index fully.
mergejoinable qual clauses, and add them to the query quals. For

This is necessary to ensure that it's safe to use these variables

Should provide a useful improvement in planning ability, too.
work as expected. THe underlying implementation is essentially
'SET foo = array_set(foo, 1, bar)', so we have to turn the items
into nested invocations of array_set() to make it work correctly.
Side effect: we now complain about 'UPDATE tab SET foo = bar, foo = baz'
which is illegal per SQL92 but we didn't detect it before.

for details). It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no
short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is
in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably. A few long-
standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single

discussion of 5/19/00). pg_index is now searched for indexes of a
relation using an indexscan. Moreover, this is done once and cached
in the relcache entry for the relation, in the form of a list of OIDs
for the indexes. This list is used by the parser and executor to drive
lookups in the pg_index syscache when they want to know the properties
of the indexes. Net result: index information will be fully cached
for repetitive operations such as inserts.
actually use their targetlist, are given a targetlist that is just a
pointer to the first appended plan's targetlist. This is OK, but what
is not OK is that any sub-select expressions in said tlist were being
entered in the subPlan lists of both the Append and the first appended
plan. That led to two startup and two shutdown calls for the same
plan node at exec time, which led to crashes. Fix is to not generate
a list of subPlans for an Append node. Same problem and fix apply
to other node types that don't have a real, functioning targetlist:
