Peter Eisentraut 86ec73b909 Synchronize the shared object build rules in Makefile.port with Makefile.shlib
somewhat by adding CFLAGS where the compiler is used and Makefile.shlib
already used CFLAGS.

Tom Lane b8f5ea7685 Fix (hopefully) some oversights in recent Bison cleanup patch.
Per buildfarm results.

Tom Lane 449a00fbbd Fix the raw-parsetree representation of star (as in SELECT * FROM or
SELECT foo.*) so that it cannot be confused with a quoted identifier "*".
Instead create a separate node type A_Star to represent this notation.
Per pgsql-hackers discussion of 2007-Sep-27.

Tom Lane 6253f9de67 In GCC-based builds, use a better newNode() macro that relies on GCC-specific
syntax to avoid a useless store into a global variable.  Per experimentation,
this works better than my original thought of trying to push the code into
an out-of-line subroutine.

Tom Lane 4571185111 Suppress gcc warning about possibly-uninitialized variable. It's not
clear to me why I'd not seen this message before --- on F-9 it seems to
only happen if Asserts are disabled, which ought to be irrelevant.
Maybe that affects a decision whether to inline get_ten(), which would
be needed to expose the warning condition to the compiler?  Anyway,
the fix is clear.

Peter Eisentraut 7c31742a07 Remove all traces that suggest that a non-Bison yacc might be supported, and
change build system to use only Bison.  Simplify build rules, make file names
uniform.  Don't build the token table header file where it is not needed.

Tom Lane a2794623d2 Extend the parser location infrastructure to include a location field in
most node types used in expression trees (both before and after parse
analysis).  This allows us to place an error cursor in many situations
where we formerly could not, because the information wasn't available
beyond the very first level of parse analysis.  There's a fair amount
of work still to be done to persuade individual ereport() calls to actually
include an error location, but this gets the initdb-forcing part of the
work out of the way; and the situation is already markedly better than
before for complaints about unimplementable implicit casts, such as
CASE and UNION constructs with incompatible alternative data types.
Per my proposal of a few days ago.

Tom Lane 6734182c16 Teach eval_const_expressions() to simplify an ArrayCoerceExpr to a constant
when its input is constant and the element coercion function is immutable
(or nonexistent, ie, binary-coercible case).  This is an oversight in the
8.3 implementation of ArrayCoerceExpr, and its result is that certain cases
involving IN or NOT IN with constants don't get optimized as they should be.
Per experimentation with an example from Ow Mun Heng.

Tom Lane e5536e77a5 Move exprType(), exprTypmod(), expression_tree_walker(), and related routines
into nodes/nodeFuncs, so as to reduce wanton cross-subsystem #includes inside
the backend.  There's probably more that should be done along this line,
but this is a start anyway.

Tom Lane d320101b5b Get rid of the last remaining uses of var_is_rel(), to wit some debugging
checks in ExecIndexBuildScanKeys() that were inadequate anyway: it's better
to verify the correct varno on an expected index key, not just reject OUTER
and INNER.

This makes the entire current contents of nodeFuncs.c dead code.  I'll be
replacing it with some other stuff later, as per recent proposal.

Magnus Hagander be8d6c5c34 Make stats_temp_directory PGC_SIGHUP, and document how it may cause a temporary
"outage" of the statistics views.

This requires making the stats collector respond to SIGHUP, like the other
utility processes already did.

Teodor Sigaev 1dcf6fdf1b Fix possible duplicate tuples while GiST scan. Now page is processed
at once and ItemPointers are collected in memory.

Remove tuple's killing by killtuple() if tuple was moved to another

Bruce Momjian 6152de97d3 Minor patch on pgbench
1. -i option should run vacuum analyze only on pgbench tables, not *all*
tables in database.

2. pre-run cleanup step was DELETE FROM HISTORY then VACUUM HISTORY.
This is just a slow version of TRUNCATE HISTORY.

Tom Lane bd3daddaf2 Arrange to convert EXISTS subqueries that are equivalent to hashable IN
subqueries into the same thing you'd have gotten from IN (except always with
unknownEqFalse = true, so as to get the proper semantics for an EXISTS).
I believe this fixes the last case within CVS HEAD in which an EXISTS could
give worse performance than an equivalent IN subquery.

The tricky part of this is that if the upper query probes the EXISTS for only
a few rows, the hashing implementation can actually be worse than the default,
and therefore we need to make a cost-based decision about which way to use.
But at the time when the planner generates plans for subqueries, it doesn't
really know how many times the subquery will be executed.  The least invasive
solution seems to be to generate both plans and postpone the choice until
execution.  Therefore, in a query that has been optimized this way, EXPLAIN
will show two subplans for the EXISTS, of which only one will actually get
executed.

There is a lot more that could be done based on this infrastructure: in
particular it's interesting to consider switching to the hash plan if we start
out using the non-hashed plan but find a lot more upper rows going by than we
expected.  I have therefore left some minor inefficiencies in place, such as
initializing both subplans even though we will currently only use one.

Tom Lane cc0dd43850 Marginal improvement in sublink planning: allow unknownEqFalse optimization
to be used for SubLinks that are underneath a top-level OR clause.  Just as at
the very top level of WHERE, it's not necessary to be accurate about whether
the sublink returns FALSE or NULL, because either result has the same impact
on whether the WHERE will succeed.

Magnus Hagander c91ff03a06 Make libpq on windows not try to send chunks larger than 64Kb.
Per Microsoft knowledge base article Q201213, early versions of
Windows fail when we do this. Later versions of Windows appear
to have a higher limit than 64Kb, but do still fail on large
sends, so we unconditionally limit it for all versions.

Patch from Tom Lane.

Tom Lane 9650830bc8 Cause the output from debug_print_parse, debug_print_rewritten, and
debug_print_plan to appear at LOG message level, not DEBUG1 as historically.
Make debug_pretty_print default to on.  Also, cause plans generated via
EXPLAIN to be subject to debug_print_plan.  This is all to make
debug_print_plan a reasonably comfortable substitute for the former behavior
of EXPLAIN VERBOSE.

Tom Lane 719012e013 Add some defenses against constant-FALSE outer join conditions. Since
eval_const_expressions will generally throw away anything that's ANDed with
constant FALSE, what we're left with given an example like

select * from tenk1 a where (unique1,0) in (select unique2,1 from tenk1 b);

is a cartesian product computation, which is really not acceptable.
This is a regression in CVS HEAD compared to previous releases, which were
able to notice the impossible join condition in this case --- though not in
some related cases that are also improved by this patch, such as

select * from tenk1 a left join tenk1 b on (a.unique1=b.unique2 and 0=1);

Fix by skipping evaluation of the appropriate side of the outer join in
cases where it's demonstrably unnecessary.

Tom Lane f2689e421d Remove prohibition against SubLinks in the WHERE clause of an EXISTS subquery
that we're considering pulling up.  I hadn't wanted to think through whether
that could work during the first pass at this stuff.  However, on closer
inspection it seems to be safe enough.
2008-08-17 02:19:19 +00:00
Tom Lane 19e34b6239 Improve sublink pullup code to handle ANY/EXISTS sublinks that are at top
level of a JOIN/ON clause, not only at top level of WHERE.  (However, we
can't do this in an outer join's ON clause, unless the ANY/EXISTS refers
only to the nullable side of the outer join, so that it can effectively
be pushed down into the nullable side.)  Per request from Kevin Grittner.

In passing, fix a bug in the initial implementation of EXISTS pullup:
it would Assert if the EXIST's WHERE clause used a join alias variable.
Since we haven't yet flattened join aliases when this transformation
happens, it's necessary to include join relids in the computed set of
RHS relids.
