relation or a FOR UPDATE/SHARE relation. This avoids an extra trip to
the shared lock manager state. Per my suggestion yesterday.
child plan nodes until we have acquired lock on the relation to scan.
The relative order of initialization of plan nodes isn't real important in
other cases, but it's critical here because one is supposed to lock a
relation before its indexes, not vice versa. The original coding was at
least vulnerable to deadlock against DROP INDEX, and perhaps worse things.
Also add a retry for Unixen returning EINTR, which hasn't been reported
as an issue but at least theoretically could be. Patch by Qingqing Zhou,
some minor adjustments by me.
#2075: consider an index redundant if any of its index conditions were already
used, rather than if all of them were. Also, make the selectivity comparison
a bit fuzzy, so that very small differences in estimated selectivities don't
skew the results.
it's worth probing the outer relation for emptiness before building the
hash table. To wit, if we're rescanning a join previously performed,
remember whether we found it nonempty the previous time, and don't bother
with the probe if it was nonempty. This buys back the performance lost
in examples like Mario Weilguni's.
one child or the other had a problem: they did not leave the node in a
state that ExecReScanHashJoin would understand. In particular it would
tend to fail to reset the child plans when needed. Per report from
Mario Weilguni.
ScalarArrayOpExpr when possible, that is, whenever there is an array type
for the values of the expression list. This completes the project I've
been working on to improve the speed of index searches with long IN lists,
as per discussion back in mid-October.
I did not force initdb, but until you do one you will see failures in the
"rules" regression test, because some of the standard system views use IN
and their compiled formats have changed.
they were broken-out AND or OR lists. The least grotty way to do this
seemed to be to set up a general mechanism for handling nodes as though
they were ANDs or ORs. There's no other immediate use for it, but perhaps
we might want to use the mechanism someday for things like BETWEEN
SYMMETRIC.
"ctid IN (list)" will still work after we convert IN to ScalarArrayOpExpr.
Make some minor efficiency improvements while at it, such as ensuring that
multiple TIDs are fetched in physical heap order. And fix EXPLAIN so that
it shows what's really going on for a TID scan.
when we first read the page, rather than checking them one at a time.
This allows us to take and release the buffer content lock just once
per page, instead of once per tuple. Since it's a shared lock the
contention penalty for holding the lock longer shouldn't be too bad.
We can safely do this only when using an MVCC snapshot; else the
assumption that visibility won't change over time is uncool. Therefore
there are now two code paths depending on the snapshot type. I also
made the same change in nodeBitmapHeapscan.c, where it can be done always
because we only support MVCC snapshots for bitmap scans anyway.
Also make some incidental cleanups in the APIs of these functions.
Per a suggestion from Qingqing Zhou.
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.
a TupleTableSlot: instead of calling ExecClearTuple, inline the needed
operations, so that we can avoid redundant steps. In particular, when
the old and new tuples are both on the same disk page, avoid releasing
and re-acquiring the buffer pin --- this saves work in both the bufmgr
and ResourceOwner modules. To make this improvement actually useful,
partially revert a change I made on 2004-04-21 that caused SeqNext
et al to call ExecClearTuple before ExecStoreTuple. The motivation
for that, to avoid grabbing the BufMgrLock separately for releasing
the old buffer and grabbing the new one, no longer applies. My
profiling says that this saves about 5% of the CPU time for an
all-in-memory seqscan.
generate their output tuple descriptors from their target lists (ie, using
ExecAssignResultTypeFromTL()). We long ago fixed things so that all node
types have minimally valid tlists, so there's no longer any good reason to
have two different ways of doing it. This change is needed to fix bug
reported by Hayden James: the fix of 2005-11-03 to emit the correct column
names after optimizing away a SubqueryScan node didn't work if the new
top-level plan node used ExecAssignResultTypeFromOuterPlan to generate its
tupdesc, since the next plan node down won't have the correct column labels.

sense and rename to "outerjoin_delayed" to more clearly reflect what it

is exposed by a bug report from Sebastian Böck. The place where it's
needed is to prevent orindxpath.c from cherry-picking arms of an outer-join
OR clause to form a relation restriction that isn't actually legal to push
down to the relation scan level. There may be some legal cases that this
forbids optimizing, but we'd need much closer analysis to determine it.

anything but transaction-exiting commands (ROLLBACK etc). We already rejected
Parse and Execute in such cases, so there seems little point in allowing Bind.
This prevents at least an Assert failure, and probably worse things, since
there's a lot of infrastructure that doesn't work when not in a live
transaction. We can also simplify the Bind logic a bit by rejecting messages
with a nonzero number of parameters, instead of the former kluge to silently
substitute NULL for each parameter. Per bug #2033 from Joel Stevenson.

to assume that the string pointer passed to set_ps_display is good forever.
There's no need to anyway since ps_status.c itself saves the string, and
we already had an API (get_ps_display) to return it.
I believe this explains Jim Nasby's report of intermittent crashes in
elog.c when %i format code is in use in log_line_prefix.
While at it, repair a previously unnoticed problem: on some platforms such as
Darwin, the string returned by get_ps_display was blank-padded to the maximum
length, meaning that lock.c's attempt to append " waiting" to it never worked.
create circularity of role memberships. This is a minimum-impact fix
for the problem reported by Florian Pflug. I thought about removing
the superuser_arg test from is_member_of_role() altogether, as it seems
redundant for many of the callers --- but not all, and it's way too late
in the 8.1 cycle to be making large changes. Perhaps reconsider this
later.

very narrow window in which SimpleLruReadPage or SimpleLruWritePage could

this only accounted for mergejoinability of the clause operator, and not
whether the left and right Vars were of the proper relations. Per report
from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.

argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string. The frontend
conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an
implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass. This provides
backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument
is explicitly typed as 'text'. When the argument is just an unadorned
literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the
stored representation will be an OID. This solves longstanding problems
with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as
well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or
moving them to another schema. All per recent discussion.
Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support

size these buffers in a way that can't overflow even if the page is

so that the latter estimates the number of groups that grouping will
produce. This is needed because it is primarily query_planner that
makes the decision between fast-start and fast-finish plans, and in the
original coding it was unable to make more than a crude rule-of-thumb
choice when the query involved grouping. This revision helps us make
saner choices for queries like SELECT ... GROUP BY ... LIMIT, as in a
recent example from Mark Kirkwood. Also move the responsibility for
canonicalizing sort_pathkeys and group_pathkeys into query_planner;

work by not recursing if a BitmapHeapScan's bitmapqualorig contained no
outer references; which was OK at the time the code was written, I think,
but now that create_bitmap_scan_plan removes duplicate clauses from
bitmapqualorig it is possible for that field to be NULL while outer
references still remain in the qpqual and/or contained indexscan nodes.
For safety, always recurse even if the BitmapHeapScan looks to be outer
reference free. Per reports from Michael Fuhr and Oleg Bartunov.
the parent table, even if the command that creates them is executed by
someone else (such as a superuser or a member of the owning role).
Per gripe from Michael Fuhr.
