split_pathtarget_at_srfs() neglected to worry about sortgroupref labels
in the intermediate PathTargets it constructs. I think we'd supposed
that their labeling didn't matter, but it does at least for the case that
GroupAggregate/GatherMerge nodes appear immediately under the ProjectSet
step(s). This results in "ERROR: ORDER/GROUP BY expression not found in
targetlist" during create_plan(), as reported by Rajkumar Raghuwanshi.
To fix, make this logic track the sortgroupref labeling of expressions,
not just their contents. This also restores the pre-v10 behavior that
separate GROUP BY expressions will be kept distinct even if they are
textually equal().

These struct definitions were originally dropped into primnodes.h,
which is a poor choice since that's mainly intended for primitive
expression node types; these are not in that category. What they
are is auxiliary info in Plan trees, so move them to plannodes.h.
For consistency, also relocate some related code that was apparently

canonicalize_ec_expression() is supposed to agree with coerce_type() as to
whether a RelabelType should be inserted to make a subexpression be valid
input for the operators of a given opclass. However, it did the wrong
thing with named-composite-type inputs to record_eq(): it put in a
RelabelType to RECORDOID, which the parser doesn't. In some cases this was
harmless because all code paths involving a particular equivalence class
did the same thing, but in other cases this would result in failing to
recognize a composite-type expression as being a member of an equivalence
class that it actually is a member of. The most obvious bad effect was to
fail to recognize that an index on a composite column could provide the
sort order needed for a mergejoin on that column, as reported by Teodor
Sigaev. I think there might be other, subtler, cases that result in
misoptimization. It also seems possible that an unwanted RelabelType
would sometimes get into an emitted plan --- but because record_eq and
friends don't examine the declared type of their input expressions, that
would not create any visible problems.
To fix, just treat RECORDOID as if it were a polymorphic type, which in
some sense it is. We might want to consider formalizing that a bit more
someday, but for the moment this seems to be the only place where an
IsPolymorphicType() test ought to include RECORDOID as well.
This has been broken for a long time, so back-patch to all supported

Previously, we passed the toplevel PlannerInfo, but we actually want
to pass the relevant subroot. One problem with passing the toplevel
PlannerInfo is that the FDW which wants to push down an UPDATE or
DELETE against a join won't find the relevant joinrel there.
As of commit 1bc0100d27, postgres_fdw

This controls both plan-time and execution-time new-style partition
pruning. While finer-grain control is possible (maybe using an enum GUC
instead of boolean), there doesn't seem to be much need for that.
This new parameter controls partition pruning for all queries:
trivially, SELECT queries that affect partitioned tables are naturally
under its control since they are using the new technology. However,
while UPDATE/DELETE queries do not use the new code, we make the new GUC
control their behavior also (stealing control from
constraint_exclusion), because it is more natural, and it leads to a
more natural transition to the future in which those queries will also
use the new pruning code.
Constraint exclusion still controls pruning for regular inheritance
situations (those not involving partitioned tables).

On further reflection, commit e5d83995e didn't go far enough: pretty much
everywhere in the planner that examines a clause's is_pushed_down flag
ought to be changed to use the more complicated behavior where we also
check the clause's required_relids. Otherwise we could make incorrect
decisions about whether, say, a clause is safe to use as a hash clause.
Some (many?) of these places are safe as-is, either because they are
never reached while considering a parameterized path, or because there
are additional checks that would reject a pushed-down clause anyway.
However, it seems smarter to just code them all the same way rather
than rely on easily-broken reasoning of that sort.
In support of that, invent a new macro RINFO_IS_PUSHED_DOWN that should
be used in place of direct tests on the is_pushed_down flag.
Like the previous patch, back-patch to all supported branches.

In some cases a clause attached to an outer join can be pushed down into
the outer join's RHS even though the clause is not degenerate --- this
can happen if we choose to make a parameterized path for the RHS. If
the clause ends up attached to a lower outer join, we'd misclassify it
as being a "join filter" not a plain "filter" condition at that node,
leading to wrong query results.
To fix, teach extract_actual_join_clauses to examine each join clause's
required_relids, not just its is_pushed_down flag. (The latter now
seems vestigial, or at least in need of rethinking, but we won't do
anything so invasive as redefining it in a bug-fix patch.)
This has been wrong since we introduced parameterized paths in 9.2,
though it's evidently hard to hit given the lack of previous reports.
The test case used here involves a lateral function call, and I think
that a lateral reference may be required to get the planner to select
a broken plan; though I wouldn't swear to that. In any case, even if
LATERAL is needed to trigger the bug, it still affects all supported
branches, so back-patch to all.

Existing partition pruning is only able to work at plan time, for query
quals that appear in the parsed query. This is good but limiting, as
there can be parameters that appear later that can be usefully used to
further prune partitions.
This commit adds support for pruning subnodes of Append which cannot
possibly contain any matching tuples, during execution, by evaluating
Params to determine the minimum set of subnodes that can possibly match.
We support more than just simple Params in WHERE clauses. Support
additionally includes:
1. Parameterized Nested Loop Joins: The parameter from the outer side of the
join can be used to determine the minimum set of inner side partitions to
scan.
2. Initplans: Once an initplan has been executed we can then determine which
partitions match the value from the initplan.
Partition pruning is performed in two ways. When Params external to the plan
are found to match the partition key we attempt to prune away unneeded Append
subplans during the initialization of the executor. This allows us to bypass
the initialization of non-matching subplans meaning they won't appear in the
EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN ANALYZE output.
For parameters whose value is only known during the actual execution
then the pruning of these subplans must wait. Subplans which are
eliminated during this stage of pruning are still visible in the EXPLAIN
output. In order to determine if pruning has actually taken place, the
EXPLAIN ANALYZE must be viewed. If a certain Append subplan was never
executed due to the elimination of the partition then the execution
timing area will state "(never executed)". Whereas, if, for example in
the case of parameterized nested loops, the number of loops stated in
the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for certain subplans may appear lower than
others due to the subplan having been scanned fewer times. This is due
to the list of matching subnodes having to be evaluated whenever a
parameter which was found to match the partition key changes.
This commit required some additional infrastructure that permits the
building of a data structure which is able to perform the translation of
the matching partition IDs, as returned by get_matching_partitions, into
the list index of a subpaths list, as exist in node types such as
Append, MergeAppend and ModifyTable. This allows us to translate a list
of clauses into a Bitmapset of all the subpath indexes which must be
included to satisfy the clause list.

This patch introduces INCLUDE clause to index definition. This clause
specifies a list of columns which will be included as a non-key part in
the index. The INCLUDE columns exist solely to allow more queries to
benefit from index-only scans. Also, such columns don't need to have
appropriate operator classes. Expressions are not supported as INCLUDE
columns since they cannot be used in index-only scans.
Index access methods supporting INCLUDE are indicated by amcaninclude flag
in IndexAmRoutine. For now, only B-tree indexes support INCLUDE clause.
In B-tree indexes INCLUDE columns are truncated from pivot index tuples
(tuples located in non-leaf pages and high keys). Therefore, B-tree indexes
now might have variable number of attributes. This patch also provides
generic facility to support that: pivot tuples contain number of their
attributes in t_tid.ip_posid. Free 13th bit of t_info is used for indicating
that. This facility will simplify further support of index suffix truncation.
The changes of above are backward-compatible, pg_upgrade doesn't need special
handling of B-tree indexes for that.

Add a new module backend/partitioning/partprune.c, implementing a more
sophisticated algorithm for partition pruning. The new module uses each
partition's "boundinfo" for pruning instead of constraint exclusion,
based on an idea proposed by Robert Haas of a "pruning program": a list
of steps generated from the query quals which are run iteratively to
obtain a list of partitions that must be scanned in order to satisfy
those quals.
At present, this targets planner-time partition pruning, but there exist
further patches to apply partition pruning at execution time as well.

MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table
using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL
statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows
a task that would other require multiple PL statements.
e.g.
MERGE INTO target AS t
USING source AS s
ON t.tid = s.sid
WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN
UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta
WHEN MATCHED THEN
DELETE
WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN
INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
DO NOTHING;
MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including
column and row security enforcement, as well as support for
row, statement and transition triggers.
MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though
also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended
to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands
for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead.
MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL.
MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules,
RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables.
MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016.
Includes full tests and documentation, including full
isolation tests to demonstrate the concurrent behavior.

Unlike the previous coding, this might result in a Gather per Append
subplan when the target list is parallel-restricted, but such a plan
is probably worth considering in that case, since a single Gather
on top of the entire Append is impossible.

If the toplevel scan/join target list is parallel-safe, postpone
generating Gather (or Gather Merge) paths until after the toplevel has
been adjusted to return it. This (correctly) makes queries with
expensive functions in the target list more likely to choose a
parallel plan, since the cost of the plan now reflects the fact that
the evaluation will happen in the workers rather than the leader.
The original complaint about this problem was from Jeff Janes.
If the toplevel scan/join relation is partitioned, recursively apply
the changes to all partitions. This sometimes allows us to get rid of
Result nodes, because Append is not projection-capable but its
children may be. It also cleans up what appears to be incorrect SRF
handling from commit e2f1eb0ee30d144628ab523432320f174a2c8966: the old
code had no knowledge of SRFs for child scan/join rels.
Because we now use create_projection_path() in some cases where we
formerly used apply_projection_to_path(), this changes the ordering
of columns in some queries generated by postgres_fdw. Update
regression outputs accordingly.

Don't call generate_gather_paths for the topmost scan/join relation
when it is initially populated with paths. Instead, do the work in
grouping_planner. By itself, this gains nothing; in fact it loses
slightly because we end up calling set_cheapest() for the topmost
scan/join rel twice rather than once. However, it paves the way for
a future commit which will postpone generate_gather_paths for the
topmost scan/join relation even further, allowing more accurate
costing of parallel paths.

We sometimes insert a ProjectionPath into a plan tree when projection
is not strictly required. The existing code already arranges to avoid
emitting a Result node when the ProjectionPath's subpath can perform
the projection itself, but previously it didn't consider the
possibility that the parent node might not actually require the
projection to be performed at all.
Skipping projection when it's not required can not only avoid Result
nodes that aren't needed, but also avoid losing the "physical tlist"
optimization unneccessarily.

This provides infrastructure to allow JITed code to inline code
implemented in C. This e.g. can be postgres internal functions or
extension code.
This already speeds up long running queries, by allowing the LLVM
optimizer to optimize across function boundaries. The optimization
potential currently doesn't reach its full potential because LLVM
cannot optimize the FunctionCallInfoData argument fully away, because
it's allocated on the heap rather than the stack. Fixing that is
beyond what's realistic for v11.
To be able to do that, use CLANG to convert C code to LLVM bitcode,
and have LLVM build a summary for it. That bitcode can then be used to
to inline functions at runtime. For that the bitcode needs to be
installed. Postgres bitcode goes into $pkglibdir/bitcode/postgres,
extensions go into equivalent directories. PGXS has been modified so
that happens automatically if postgres has been compiled with LLVM
support.
Currently this isn't the fastest inline implementation, modules are
reloaded from disk during inlining. That's to work around an apparent
LLVM bug, triggering an apparently spurious error in LLVM assertion
enabled builds. Once that is resolved we can remove the superfluous
read from disk.
Docs will follow in a later commit containing docs for the whole JIT

Currently adding a column to a table with a non-NULL default results in
a rewrite of the table. For large tables this can be both expensive and
disruptive. This patch removes the need for the rewrite as long as the
default value is not volatile. The default expression is evaluated at
the time of the ALTER TABLE and the result stored in a new column
(attmissingval) in pg_attribute, and a new column (atthasmissing) is set
to true. Any existing row when fetched will be supplied with the
attmissingval. New rows will have the supplied value or the default and
so will never need the attmissingval.
Any time the table is rewritten all the atthasmissing and attmissingval
settings for the attributes are cleared, as they are no longer needed.
The most visible code change from this is in heap_attisnull, which
acquires a third TupleDesc argument, allowing it to detect a missing
value if there is one. In many cases where it is known that there will
not be any (e.g. catalog relations) NULL can be passed for this
argument.

Performing JIT compilation for deforming gains performance benefits
over unJITed deforming from compile-time knowledge of the tuple
descriptor. Fixed column widths, NOT NULLness, etc can be taken
advantage of.
Right now the JITed deforming is only used when deforming tuples as
part of expression evaluation (and obviously only if the descriptor is
known). It's likely to be beneficial in other cases, too.
By default tuple deforming is JITed whenever an expression is JIT
compiled. There's a separate boolean GUC controlling it, but that's
expected to be primarily useful for development and benchmarking.

In addition to the interpretation of expressions (which back
evaluation of WHERE clauses, target list projection, aggregates
transition values etc) support compiling expressions to native code,

To avoid duplicating a lot of code, only support emitting code for

that aren't deemed that, use the existing interpreter.
The generated code isn't great - some architectural changes are

This adds simple cost based plan time decision about whether JIT
should be performed. jit_above_cost, jit_optimize_above_cost are
compared with the total cost of a plan, and if the cost is above them
JIT is performed / optimization is performed respectively.
For that PlannedStmt and EState have a jitFlags (es_jit_flags) field
that stores information about what JIT operations should be performed.
EState now also has a new es_jit field, which can store a
JitContext. When there are no errors the context is released in

If the partition keys of input relation are part of the GROUP BY
clause, all the rows belonging to a given group come from a single
partition. This allows aggregation/grouping over a partitioned
relation to be broken down * into aggregation/grouping on each
partition. This should be no worse, and often better, than the normal
approach.
If the GROUP BY clause does not contain all the partition keys, we can
still perform partial aggregation for each partition and then finalize
aggregation after appending the partial results. This is less certain
to be a win, but it's still useful.

Currently, if operator_predicate_proof() is given an operator clause like
"something op NULL", it just throws up its hands and reports it can't prove
anything. But we can often do better than that, if the operator is strict,
because then we know that the clause returns NULL overall. Depending on
whether we're trying to prove or refute something, and whether we need
weak or strong semantics for NULL, this may be enough to prove the
implication, especially when we rely on the standard rule that "false
implies anything". In particular, this lets us do something useful with
questions like "does X IN (1,3,5,NULL) imply X <= 5?" The null entry
in the IN list can effectively be ignored for this purpose, but the
proof rules were not previously smart enough to deduce that.
This patch is by me, but it owes something to previous work by
Amit Langote to try to solve problems of the form mentioned.
Thanks also to Emre Hasegeli and Ashutosh Bapat for review.

If there were multiple grouping sets, none of them empty, all of which
were unsortable, then an oversight in consider_groupingsets_paths led
to a null pointer dereference. Fix, and add a regression test for this
case.
Per report from Dang Minh Huong, though I didn't use their patch.
Backpatch to 10.x where hashed grouping sets were added.
This avoids unnecessarily creating a RelOptInfo for which we have no
actual need. This idea is from Ashutosh Bapat, who wrote a very
different patch to accomplish a similar goal. It will be more
important if and when we get partition-wise aggregate, since then
there could be many partially grouped relations all of which could
potentially be unnecessary. In passing, this sets the grouping
relation's reltarget, which wasn't done previously but makes things
simpler for this refactoring.
Along the way, adjust things so that add_paths_to_partial_grouping_rel,
now renamed create_partial_grouping_paths, does not perform the Gather
or Gather Merge steps to generate non-partial paths from partial
paths; have the caller do it instead. This is again for the
convenience of partition-wise aggregate, which wants to inject
additional partial paths are created and before we decide which ones
to Gather/Gather Merge. This might seem like a separate change, but
it's actually pretty closely entangled; I couldn't really see much
value in separating it and having to change some things twice.

Commit 3fc6e2d7f5 made setop planning
stages return paths rather than plans, but all such paths were loosely
associated with a single RelOptInfo, and only the final path was added
to the RelOptInfo. Even at the time, it was foreseen that this should
be changed, because there is otherwise no good way for a single stage
of setop planning to return multiple paths. With this patch, each
stage of set operation planning now creates a separate RelOptInfo;
these are distinguished by using appropriate relid sets. Note that
this patch does nothing whatsoever about actually returning multiple
paths for the same set operation; it just makes it possible for a
future patch to do so.
Along the way, adjust things so that create_upper_paths_hook is called
for each of these new RelOptInfos rather than just once, since that
might be useful to extensions using that hook. It might be a good
to provide an FDW API here as well, but I didn't try to do that for
now.
