outer relation is empty did not work, per test case from Patrick Welche.
It tried to use nodeHashjoin.c's high-level mechanisms for fetching an
outer-relation tuple, but that code expected the hash table to be filled
already. As patched, the code failed in corner cases such as having no
outer-relation tuples for the first hash batch. Revert and rewrite.

someone else (such as a superuser or a member of the owning role).
Per gripe from Michael Fuhr.
insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links. (We must do both
because even with VACUUM doing it properly, the intermediate state with
a dangling t_ctid link is visible concurrently during lazy VACUUM, and
could be seen afterwards if either type of VACUUM crashes partway through.)
Also try to improve documentation about what's going on. Patch is a bit
bulky because passing the XMAX information around required changing the
APIs of some low-level heapam.c routines, but it's not conceptually very
complicated. Per trouble report from Teodor and subsequent analysis.
This needs to be back-patched, but I'll do that after 8.1 beta is out.

patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for
instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can
make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should
be pretty much done.

work if either of the join relations are empty. The logic is:
(1) if the inner relation's startup cost is less than the outer
relation's startup cost and this is not an outer join, read
a single tuple from the inner relation via ExecHash()
- if NULL, we're done
(2) read a single tuple from the outer relation
- if NULL, we're done
(3) build the hash table on the inner relation
- if hash table is empty and this is not an outer join,
we're done
(4) otherwise, do hash join as usual
The implementation uses the new MultiExecProcNode API, per a
suggestion from Tom: invoking ExecHash() now produces the first
tuple from the Hash node's child node, whereas MultiExecHash()
builds the hash table.
I had to put in a bit of a kludge to get the row count returned
for EXPLAIN ANALYZE to be correct: since ExecHash() is invoked to
return a tuple, and then MultiExecHash() is invoked, we would
return one too many tuples to EXPLAIN ANALYZE. I hacked around
this by just manually detecting this situation and subtracting 1
from the EXPLAIN ANALYZE row count.
this in turn causes CREATE TABLE AS in plpgsql to set ROW_COUNT.
This is how it behaved before 7.4; I had unintentionally changed the
behavior in a bit of sloppy micro-optimization.
spotted by Qingqing Zhou. The HASH_ENTER action now automatically
fails with elog(ERROR) on out-of-memory --- which incidentally lets
us eliminate duplicate error checks in quite a bunch of places. If
you really need the old return-NULL-on-out-of-memory behavior, you
can ask for HASH_ENTER_NULL. But there is now an Assert in that path
checking that you aren't hoping to get that behavior in a palloc-based
hash table.
Along the way, remove the old HASH_FIND_SAVE/HASH_REMOVE_SAVED actions,
which were not being used anywhere anymore, and were surely too ugly
and unsafe to want to see revived again.
aren't doing anything useful (ie, neither selection nor projection).
Also, extend to SubqueryScan the hacks already in place to avoid
unnecessary ExecProject calls when the result would just be the same
tuple the subquery already delivered. This saves some overhead in
UNION and other set operations, as well as avoiding overhead for
unflatten-able subqueries. Per example from Sokolov Yura.

executor APIs (such as ExecutorRun), which also use a long for this purpose.
It also allows FETCH_ALL to be passed -- since FETCH_ALL is defined as
LONG_MAX, this wouldn't have worked on platforms where int and long are of

only one argument. (Per recent discussion, the option to accept multiple
arguments is pretty useless for user-defined types, and would be a likely
source of security holes if it was used.) Simplify call sites of
output/send functions to not bother passing more than one argument.
to eliminate unnecessary deadlocks. This commit adds SELECT ... FOR SHARE
paralleling SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. The implementation uses a new SLRU
data structure (managed much like pg_subtrans) to represent multiple-
transaction-ID sets. When more than one transaction is holding a shared
lock on a particular row, we create a MultiXactId representing that set
of transactions and store its ID in the row's XMAX. This scheme allows
an effectively unlimited number of row locks, just as we did before,
while not costing any extra overhead except when a shared lock actually
has to be shared. Still TODO: use the regular lock manager to control
the grant order when multiple backends are waiting for a row lock.

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

return just a single tuple at a time. Currently the only such node
type is Hash, but I expect we will soon have indexscans that can return
tuple bitmaps. A side benefit is that EXPLAIN ANALYZE now shows the
correct tuple count for a Hash node.

and index_open. Remove runtime lookups of catalog OID numbers in
various places. Remove relcache's support for looking up system

indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info
about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap
code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small
number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete
set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will
get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes;
but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a
good place to commit.
Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be
'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired
entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not
sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap
relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.

anything much either, but then again this is a hot-spot routine.
few palloc's. I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields
entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's
contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler
and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date.
initdb forced due to change in contents of stored rules.
old comment in the code claimed that this was necessary. Since it is not
actually necessary any more, it is clearer to remove the comment and
just return NULL instead -- the return value of ExecHash() is not used.
change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index,
and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and
FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value. INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded
in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header
size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not. I believe it would now be possible
to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet.
There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which
I will clean up in a separate pass. However, getting rid of it
altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct,
and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.

included in "Total runtime" but not otherwise accounted for.
As a side benefit, we avoid re-opening relations when firing non-deferred

convention for isnull flags. Also, remove the useless InsertIndexResult
return struct from index AM aminsert calls --- there is no reason for
the caller to know where in the index the tuple was inserted, and we
were wasting a palloc cycle per insert to deliver this uninteresting
value (plus nontrivial complexity in some AMs).
I forced initdb because of the change in the signature of the aminsert
routines, even though nothing really looks at those pg_proc entries...
of tuples when passing data up through multiple plan nodes. A slot can now
hold either a normal "physical" HeapTuple, or a "virtual" tuple consisting
of Datum/isnull arrays. Upper plan levels can usually just copy the Datum
arrays, avoiding heap_formtuple() and possible subsequent nocachegetattr()
calls to extract the data again. This work extends Atsushi Ogawa's earlier
patch, which provided the key idea of adding Datum arrays to TupleTableSlots.
(I believe however that something like this was foreseen way back in Berkeley
days --- see the old comment on ExecProject.) A test case involving many
levels of join of fairly wide tables (about 80 columns altogether) showed
about 3x overall speedup, though simple queries will probably not be
helped very much.
I have also duplicated some code in heaptuple.c in order to provide versions
of heap_formtuple and friends that use "bool" arrays to indicate null
attributes, instead of the old convention of "char" arrays containing either
'n' or ' '. This provides a better match to the convention used by
ExecEvalExpr. While I have not made a concerted effort to get rid of uses
of the old routines, I think they should be deprecated and eventually removed.

can tell whether it is being used as an aggregate or not. This allows
such a function to avoid re-pallocing a pass-by-reference transition
value; normally it would be unsafe for a function to scribble on an input,
but in the aggregate case it's safe to reuse the old transition value.
Make int8inc() do this. This gets a useful improvement in the speed of
COUNT(*), at least on narrow tables (it seems to be swamped by I/O when
the table rows are wide). Per a discussion in early December with
Neil Conway. I also fixed int_aggregate.c to check this, thereby
turning it into something approaching a supportable technique instead
of being a crude hack.
Formerly, if such a clause contained no aggregate functions we mistakenly
treated it as equivalent to WHERE. Per spec it must cause the query to
be treated as a grouped query of a single group, the same as appearance
of aggregate functions would do. Also, the HAVING filter must execute
after aggregate function computation even if it itself contains no
aggregate functions.

We don't really want to start a new SPI connection, just keep using the old

were doing before was a hack too, strictly speaking. Add a regression

- remove another senseless "extern" keyword that was applied to a

- change a foo more function signatures from "some_type foo()" to
"some_type foo(void)"
- rewrite another K&R style function definition
- make the type of the "action" function pointer in the KeyWord struct

columns. The returned tuple needs to have appropriate NULL columns
inserted so that it actually matches the declared rowtype. It seemed
convenient to use a JunkFilter for this, so I made some cleanups and
simplifications in the JunkFilter code to allow it to support this
additional functionality. (That in turn exposed a latent bug in
nodeAppend.c, which is that it was returning a tuple slot whose
descriptor didn't match its data.) Also, move check_sql_fn_retval

belong.

when a function that returns a single tuple (not a setof tuple) returns

bug report from Ivan-Sun1.
was large enough to be batched and the tuples fell into a batch where
there were no inner tuples at all. Thanks to Xiaoyu Wang for finding a
test case that exposed this long-standing bug.
as per recent discussions. Invent SubTransactionIds that are managed like
CommandIds (ie, counter is reset at start of each top transaction), and
use these instead of TransactionIds to keep track of subtransaction status
in those modules that need it. This means that a subtransaction does not
need an XID unless it actually inserts/modifies rows in the database.
Accordingly, don't assign it an XID nor take a lock on the XID until it
tries to do that. This saves a lot of overhead for subtransactions that
are only used for error recovery (eg plpgsql exceptions). Also, arrange
to release a subtransaction's XID lock as soon as the subtransaction
exits, in both the commit and abort cases. This avoids holding many
unique locks after a long series of subtransactions. The price is some
additional overhead in XactLockTableWait, but that seems acceptable.
Finally, restructure the state machine in xact.c to have a more orthogonal
set of states for subtransactions.
mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than
using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh
snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE
functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested
regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so
the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.)
As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the
same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any
action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly
nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.
((Snapshot) NULL) can no longer be confused with a valid snapshot,
as per my recent suggestion. Define a macro InvalidSnapshot for 0.
Use InvalidSnapshot instead of SnapshotAny as the do-nothing special
case for heap_update and heap_delete crosschecks; this seems a little
cleaner even though the behavior is really the same.
rather than when returning to the idle loop. This makes no particular
difference for interactively-issued queries, but it makes a big difference
for queries issued within functions: trigger execution now occurs before
the calling function is allowed to proceed. This responds to numerous
complaints about nonintuitive behavior of foreign key checking, such as

until Bind is received, so that actual parameter values are visible to the
planner. Make use of the parameter values for estimation purposes (but
don't fold them into the actual plan). This buys back most of the
potential loss of plan quality that ensues from using out-of-line
parameters instead of putting literal values right into the query text.
This patch creates a notion of constant-folding expressions 'for
estimation purposes only', in which case we can be more aggressive than
the normal eval_const_expressions() logic can be. Right now the only
difference in behavior is inserting bound values for Params, but it will
be interesting to look at other possibilities. One that we've seen
come up repeatedly is reducing now() and related functions to current
values, so that queries like ... WHERE timestampcol > now() - '1 day'
have some chance of being planned effectively.
Oliver Jowett, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.
As a side effect, cause subscripts in INSERT targetlists to do something
more or less sensible; previously we evaluated such subscripts and then
effectively ignored them. Another side effect is that UPDATE-ing an
element or slice of an array value that is NULL now produces a non-null
result, namely an array containing just the assigned-to positions.
of a composite type to get that type's OID as their second parameter,
in place of typelem which is useless. The actual changes are mostly
centralized in getTypeInputInfo and siblings, but I had to fix a few
places that were fetching pg_type.typelem for themselves instead of
using the lsyscache.c routines. Also, I renamed all the related variables
from 'typelem' to 'typioparam' to discourage people from assuming that
they necessarily contain array element types.
loop over the fields instead of a loop around heap_getattr. This is
considerably faster (O(N) instead of O(N^2)) when there are nulls or
varlena fields, since those prevent use of attcacheoff. Replace loops
over heap_getattr with heap_deformtuple in situations where all or most
of the fields have to be fetched, such as printtup and tuptoaster.
Profiling done more than a year ago shows that this should be a nice
win for situations involving many-column tables.
In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was
merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that
design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch
fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list
length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer.
A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data
about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer
to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes.
The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope,
be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are
still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of
the tree has been updated to use the new API names.

rather than allowing them only in a few special cases as before. In
particular you can now pass a ROW() construct to a function that accepts
a rowtype parameter. Internal generation of RowExprs fixes a number of
corner cases that used to not work very well, such as referencing the
whole-row result of a JOIN or subquery. This represents a further step in
the work I started a month or so back to make rowtype values into
first-class citizens.
the next are handled by ReleaseAndReadBuffer rather than separate
ReleaseBuffer and ReadBuffer calls. This cuts the number of acquisitions
of the BufMgrLock by a factor of 2 (possibly more, if an indexscan happens
to pull successive rows from the same heap page). Unfortunately this
doesn't seem enough to get us out of the recently discussed context-switch
storm problem, but it's surely worth doing anyway.

OID column that was inherited from a parent.
so that the 'val' is computed only once, per recent discussion. The
speedup is not much when 'val' is just a simple variable, but could be
significant for larger expressions. More importantly this avoids issues
with multiple evaluations of a volatile 'val', and it allows the CASE
expression to be reverse-listed in its original form by ruleutils.c.
directly to the appropriate per-node execution function, using a function
pointer stored by ExecInitExpr. This speeds things up by eliminating one
level of function call. The function-pointer technique also enables further
small improvements such as only making one-time tests once (and then
changing the function pointer). Overall this seems to gain about 10%
on evaluation of simple expressions, which isn't earthshaking but seems
a worthwhile gain for a relatively small hack. Per recent discussion
on pghackers.

pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison
operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support.
The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of

it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero
when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the

to run the scan under a current snapshot and then complain if any rows
would be updated/deleted that are not visible in the transaction snapshot.
to allow es_snapshot to be set to SnapshotNow rather than a query snapshot.
This solves a bug reported by Wade Klaver, wherein triggers fired as a
result of RI cascade updates could misbehave.
now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache
indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method. This
leaves only shared system indexes as special cases. Remove the 'index
deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared-
index case. Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone
mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX. -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes)
now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates.
It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS. Upshot: reindexing system catalogs
can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except
shared catalogs.
