Robert Haas 3bea3f88d5 postgres_fdw: When sending ORDER BY, always include NULLS FIRST/LAST.
Previously, we included NULLS FIRST when appropriate but relied on the
default behavior to be NULLS LAST.  This is, however, not true for a
sort in descending order and seems like a fragile assumption anyway.

Tom Lane 19a541143a Add an explicit representation of the output targetlist to Paths.
Up to now, there's been an assumption that all Paths for a given relation
compute the same output column set (targetlist).  However, there are good
reasons to remove that assumption.  For example, an indexscan on an
expression index might be able to return the value of an expensive function
"for free".  While we have the ability to generate such a plan today in
simple cases, we don't have a way to model that it's cheaper than a plan
that computes the function from scratch, nor a way to create such a plan
in join cases (where the function computation would normally happen at
the topmost join node).  Also, we need this so that we can have Paths
representing post-scan/join steps, where the targetlist may well change
from one step to the next.  Therefore, invent a "struct PathTarget"
representing the columns we expect a plan step to emit.  It's convenient
to include the output tuple width and tlist evaluation cost in this struct,
and there will likely be additional fields in future.

While Path nodes that actually do have custom outputs will need their own
PathTargets, it will still be true that most Paths for a given relation
will compute the same tlist.  To reduce the overhead added by this patch,
keep a "default PathTarget" in RelOptInfo, and allow Paths that compute
that column set to just point to their parent RelOptInfo's reltarget.
(In the patch as committed, actually every Path is like that, since we
do not yet have any cases of custom PathTargets.)

I took this opportunity to provide some more-honest costing of
PlaceHolderVar evaluation.  Up to now, the assumption that "scan/join
reltargetlists have cost zero" was applied not only to Vars, where it's
reasonable, but also PlaceHolderVars where it isn't.  Now, we add the eval
cost of a PlaceHolderVar's expression to the first plan level where it can
be computed, by including it in the PathTarget cost field and adding that
to the cost estimates for Paths.  This isn't perfect yet but it's much
better than before, and there is a way forward to improve it more.  This
costing change affects the join order chosen for a couple of the regression
tests, changing expected row ordering.

Robert Haas e4106b2528 postgres_fdw: Push down joins to remote servers.
If we've got a relatively straightforward join between two tables,
this pushes that join down to the remote server instead of fetching
the rows for each table and performing the join locally.  Some cases
are not handled yet, such as SEMI and ANTI joins.  Also, we don't
yet attempt to create presorted join paths or parameterized join
paths even though these options do get tried for a base relation
scan.  Nevertheless, this seems likely to be a very significant win
in many practical cases.

Robert Haas 96198d94cb Avoid multiple foreign server connections when all use same user mapping.
Previously, postgres_fdw's connection cache was keyed by user OID and
server OID, but this can lead to multiple connections when it's not
really necessary.  In particular, if all relevant users are mapped to
the public user mapping, then their connection options are certainly
the same, so one connection can be used for all of them.

While we're cleaning things up here, drop the "server" argument to
GetConnection(), which isn't really needed.  This saves a few cycles
because callers no longer have to look this up; the function itself
does, but only when establishing a new connection, not when reusing
an existing one.

Robert Haas ccd8f97922 postgres_fdw: Consider requesting sorted data so we can do a merge join.
When use_remote_estimate is enabled, consider adding ORDER BY to the
query we sending to the remote server so that we can use that ordered
data for a merge join.  Commit f18c944b61
arranges to push down the query pathkeys, which seems like the case
mostly likely to be a win, but testing shows this can sometimes win,
too.

For a regular table, we know which indexes are present and therefore
test whether the ordering provided by each such index is useful.  Here,
we take the opposite approach: guess what orderings would be useful if
they could be generated cheaply, and then ask the remote side what those
will cost.

Robert Haas 385f337c9f Allow foreign and custom joins to handle EvalPlanQual rechecks.
Commit e7cb7ee145 provided basic
infrastructure for allowing a foreign data wrapper or custom scan
provider to replace a join of one or more tables with a scan.
However, this infrastructure failed to take into account the need
for possible EvalPlanQual rechecks, and ExecScanFetch would fail
an assertion (or just overwrite memory) if such a check was attempted
for a plan containing a pushed-down join.  To fix, adjust the EPQ
machinery to skip some processing steps when scanrelid == 0, making
those the responsibility of scan's recheck method, which also has
the responsibility in this case of correctly populating the relevant
slot.

To allow foreign scans to gain control in the right place to make
use of this new facility, add a new, optional RecheckForeignScan
method.  Also, allow a foreign scan to have a child plan, which can
be used to correctly populate the slot (or perhaps for something
else, but this is the only use currently envisioned).

Tom Lane b9f117d6cd Add regression tests for remote execution of extension operators/functions.
Rather than relying on other extensions to be available for installation,

Tom Lane d894941663 Allow postgres_fdw to ship extension funcs/operators for remote execution.
The user can whitelist specified extension(s) in the foreign server's
options, whereupon we will treat immutable functions and operators of those
extensions as candidates to be sent for remote execution.

Whitelisting an extension in this way basically promises that the extension
exists on the remote server and behaves compatibly with the local instance.
We have no way to prove that formally, so we have to rely on the user to
get it right.  But this seems like something that people can usually get
right in practice.

We might in future allow functions and operators to be whitelisted
individually, but extension granularity is a very convenient special case,
so it got done first.

The patch as-committed lacks any regression tests, which is unfortunate,
but introducing dependencies on other extensions for testing purposes
would break "make installcheck" scenarios, which is worse.  I have some
ideas about klugy ways around that, but it seems like material for a
separate patch.  For the moment, leave the problem open.

Robert Haas f18c944b61 postgres_fdw: Add ORDER BY to some remote SQL queries.
If the join problem's entire ORDER BY clause can be pushed to the
remote server, consider a path that adds this ORDER BY clause.  If
use_remote_estimate is on, we cost this path using an additional
remote EXPLAIN.  If not, we just estimate that the path costs 20%
more, which is intended to be large enough that we won't request a
remote sort when it's not helpful, but small enough that we'll have
the remote side do the sort when in doubt.  In some cases, the remote
sort might actually be free, because the remote query plan might
happen to produce output that is ordered the way we need, but without
remote estimates we have no way of knowing that.

It might also be useful to request sorted output from the remote side
if it enables an efficient merge join, but this patch doesn't attempt
to handle that case.

Robert Haas 5fc4c26db5 Allow FDWs to push down quals without breaking EvalPlanQual rechecks.
This fixes a long-standing bug which was discovered while investigating
the interaction between the new join pushdown code and the EvalPlanQual
machinery: if a ForeignScan appears on the inner side of a paramaterized
nestloop, an EPQ recheck would re-return the original tuple even if
it no longer satisfied the pushed-down quals due to changed parameter
values.

This fix adds a new member to ForeignScan and ForeignScanState and a
new argument to make_foreignscan, and requires changes to FDWs which
push down quals to populate that new argument with a list of quals they
have chosen to push down.  Therefore, I'm only back-patching to 9.5,
even though the bug is not new in 9.5.

Tom Lane 76f965ff1f Improve handling of collations in contrib/postgres_fdw.
If we have a local Var of say varchar type with default collation, and
we apply a RelabelType to convert that to text with default collation, we
don't want to consider that as creating an FDW_COLLATE_UNSAFE situation.
It should be okay to compare that to a remote Var, so long as the remote
Var determines the comparison collation.  (When we actually ship such an
expression to the remote side, the local Var would become a Param with
default collation, meaning the remote Var would in fact control the
comparison collation, because non-default implicit collation overrides
default implicit collation in parse_collate.c.)  To fix, be more precise
about what FDW_COLLATE_NONE means: it applies either to a noncollatable
data type or to a collatable type with default collation, if that collation
can't be traced to a remote Var.  (When it can, FDW_COLLATE_SAFE is
appropriate.)  We were essentially using that interpretation already at
the Var/Const/Param level, but we weren't bubbling it up properly.

An alternative fix would be to introduce a separate FDW_COLLATE_DEFAULT
value to describe the second situation, but that would add more code
without changing the actual behavior, so it didn't seem worthwhile.

Also, since we're clarifying the rule to be that we care about whether
operator/function input collations match, there seems no need to fail
immediately upon seeing a Const/Param/non-foreign-Var with nondefault
collation.  We only have to reject if it appears in a collation-sensitive
context (for example, "var IS NOT NULL" is perfectly safe from a collation
standpoint, whatever collation the var has).  So just set the state to
UNSAFE rather than failing immediately.

Per report from Jeevan Chalke.  This essentially corrects some sloppy
thinking in commit ed3ddf918b, so back-patch
to 9.3 where that logic appeared.

Tom Lane 0bb8528b5c Fix postgres_fdw to return the right ctid value in EvalPlanQual cases.
If a postgres_fdw foreign table is a non-locked source relation in an
UPDATE, DELETE, or SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE, and the query selects its
ctid column, the wrong value would be returned if an EvalPlanQual
recheck occurred.  This happened because the foreign table's result row
was copied via the ROW_MARK_COPY code path, and EvalPlanQualFetchRowMarks
just unconditionally set the reconstructed tuple's t_self to "invalid".

To fix that, we can have EvalPlanQualFetchRowMarks copy the composite
datum's t_ctid field, and be sure to initialize that along with t_self
when postgres_fdw constructs a tuple to return.

If we just did that much then EvalPlanQualFetchRowMarks would start
returning "(0,0)" as ctid for all other ROW_MARK_COPY cases, which perhaps
does not matter much, but then again maybe it might.  The cause of that is
that heap_form_tuple, which is the ultimate source of all composite datums,
simply leaves t_ctid as zeroes in newly constructed tuples.  That seems
like a bad idea on general principles: a field that's really not been
initialized shouldn't appear to have a valid value.  So let's eat the
trivial additional overhead of doing "ItemPointerSetInvalid(&(td->t_ctid))"
in heap_form_tuple.

This closes out our handling of Etsuro Fujita's report that tableoid and
ctid weren't correctly set in postgres_fdw EvalPlanQual cases.  Along the
way we did a great deal of work to improve FDWs' ability to control row
locking behavior; which was not wasted effort by any means, but it didn't
end up being a fix for this problem because that feature would be too
expensive for postgres_fdw to use all the time.

Although the fix for the tableoid misbehavior was back-patched, I'm
hesitant to do so here; it seems far less likely that people would care
about remote ctid than tableoid, and even such a minor behavioral change
as this in heap_form_tuple is perhaps best not back-patched.  So commit
to HEAD only, at least for the moment.

Tom Lane 1a8a4e5cde Code review for foreign/custom join pushdown patch.
Commit e7cb7ee145 included some design
decisions that seem pretty questionable to me, and there was quite a lot
of stuff not to like about the documentation and comments.  Clean up
as follows:

* Consider foreign joins only between foreign tables on the same server,
rather than between any two foreign tables with the same underlying FDW
handler function.  In most if not all cases, the FDW would simply have had
to apply the same-server restriction itself (far more expensively, both for
lack of caching and because it would be repeated for each combination of
input sub-joins), or else risk nasty bugs.  Anyone who's really intent on
doing something outside this restriction can always use the
set_join_pathlist_hook.

* Rename fdw_ps_tlist/custom_ps_tlist to fdw_scan_tlist/custom_scan_tlist
to better reflect what they're for, and allow these custom scan tlists
to be used even for base relations.

* Change make_foreignscan() API to include passing the fdw_scan_tlist
value, since the FDW is required to set that.  Backwards compatibility
doesn't seem like an adequate reason to expect FDWs to set it in some
ad-hoc extra step, and anyway existing FDWs can just pass NIL.

* Change the API of path-generating subroutines of add_paths_to_joinrel,
and in particular that of GetForeignJoinPaths and set_join_pathlist_hook,
so that various less-used parameters are passed in a struct rather than
as separate parameter-list entries.  The objective here is to reduce the
probability that future additions to those parameter lists will result in
source-level API breaks for users of these hooks.  It's possible that this
is even a small win for the core code, since most CPU architectures can't
pass more than half a dozen parameters efficiently anyway.  I kept root,
joinrel, outerrel, innerrel, and jointype as separate parameters to reduce
code churn in joinpath.c --- in particular, putting jointype into the
struct would have been problematic because of the subroutines' habit of
changing their local copies of that variable.

* Avoid ad-hocery in ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo.  It was probably all
right for it to know about IndexOnlyScan, but if the list is to grow
we should refactor the knowledge out to the callers.

* Restore nodeForeignscan.c's previous use of the relcache to avoid
extra GetFdwRoutine lookups for base-relation scans.

* Lots of cleanup of documentation and missed comments.  Re-order some
code additions into more logical places.

Andres Freund 168d5805e4 Add support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE.
The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to
raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting.
ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a
inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or
by naming a unique or exclusion constraint.  DO NOTHING avoids the
constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row.  DO UPDATE
SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to
both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the
optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being
executed.  The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple
proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the
pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias.

This feature is often referred to as upsert.

This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative
insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first
does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert.  If a
violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted
tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made.  If the pre-check finds a
matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken.
If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is
deemed inserted.

To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table
named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT
INTO now can alias its target table.

despite the fact that INSERT and UPDATE privileges are separately
cataloged, and may be independently held.  As statements so far required
either insert or update privileges but never both, that was
sufficient. The required permission could be inferred from the top level
statement run.

The upcoming INSERT ... ON CONFLICT UPDATE feature needs to
independently check for both privileges in one statement though, so that
is not sufficient anymore.

Tom Lane 542320c2bd Be more careful about printing constants in ruleutils.c.
The previous coding in get_const_expr() tried to avoid quoting integer,
float, and numeric literals if at all possible.  While that looks nice,
it means that dumped expressions might re-parse to something that's
semantically equivalent but not the exact same parsetree; for example
a FLOAT8 constant would re-parse as a NUMERIC constant with a cast to
FLOAT8.  Though the result would be the same after constant-folding,
this is problematic in certain contexts.  In particular, Jeff Davis
pointed out that this could cause unexpected failures in ALTER INHERIT
operations because of child tables having not-exactly-equivalent CHECK
expressions.  Therefore, favor correctness over legibility and dump
such constants in quotes except in the limited cases where they'll
be interpreted as the same type even without any casting.

This results in assorted small changes in the regression test outputs,
and will affect display of user-defined views and rules similarly.
The odds of that causing problems in the field seem non-negligible;
given the lack of previous complaints, it seems best not to change
this in the back branches.

Tom Lane cb1ca4d800 Allow foreign tables to participate in inheritance.
Foreign tables can now be inheritance children, or parents.  Much of the
system was already ready for this, but we had to fix a few things of
course, mostly in the area of planner and executor handling of row locks.

As side effects of this, allow foreign tables to have NOT VALID CHECK
constraints (and hence to accept ALTER ... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), and to
accept ALTER SET STORAGE and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS.  Continuing to
disallow these things would've required bizarre and inconsistent special
cases in inheritance behavior.  Since foreign tables don't enforce CHECK
constraints anyway, a NOT VALID one is a complete no-op, but that doesn't
mean we shouldn't allow it.  And it's possible that some FDWs might have
use for SET STORAGE or SET WITH OIDS, though doubtless they will be no-ops
for most.

An additional change in support of this is that when a ModifyTable node
has multiple target tables, they will all now be explicitly identified
in EXPLAIN output, for example:

 Update on pt1  (cost=0.00..321.05 rows=3541 width=46)
   Update on pt1
   Foreign Update on ft1
   Foreign Update on ft2
   Update on child3
   ->  Seq Scan on pt1  (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=46)
   ->  Foreign Scan on ft1  (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
   ->  Foreign Scan on ft2  (cost=100.00..148.03 rows=1170 width=46)
   ->  Seq Scan on child3  (cost=0.00..25.00 rows=1200 width=46)

This was done mainly to provide an unambiguous place to attach "Remote SQL"
fields, but it is useful for inherited updates even when no foreign tables
are involved.

Tom Lane 7b8b8a4331 Improve representation of PlanRowMark.
This patch fixes two inadequacies of the PlanRowMark representation.

First, that the original LockingClauseStrength isn't stored (and cannot be
inferred for foreign tables, which always get ROW_MARK_COPY).  Since some
PlanRowMarks are created out of whole cloth and don't actually have an
ancestral RowMarkClause, this requires adding a dummy LCS_NONE value to
enum LockingClauseStrength, which is fairly annoying but the alternatives
seem worse.  This fix allows getting rid of the use of get_parse_rowmark()
in FDWs (as per the discussion around commits 462bd95705 and
8ec8760fc8), and it simplifies some things elsewhere.

Second, that the representation assumed that all child tables in an
inheritance hierarchy would use the same RowMarkType.  That's true today
but will soon not be true.  We add an "allMarkTypes" field that identifies
the union of mark types used in all a parent table's children, and use
that where appropriate (currently, only in preprocess_targetlist()).

In passing fix a couple of minor infelicities left over from the SKIP
LOCKED patch, notably that _outPlanRowMark still thought waitPolicy
is a bool.

Catversion bump is required because the numeric values of enum
LockingClauseStrength can appear in on-disk rules.

Extracted from a much larger patch to support foreign table inheritance;
it seemed worth breaking this out, since it's a separable concern.

Tom Lane e1a11d9311 Use FLEXIBLE_ARRAY_MEMBER for HeapTupleHeaderData.t_bits[].
This requires changing quite a few places that were depending on
sizeof(HeapTupleHeaderData), but it seems for the best.

Tom Lane 4a14f13a0a Improve hash_create's API for selecting simple-binary-key hash functions.
Previously, if you wanted anything besides C-string hash keys, you had to
specify a custom hashing function to hash_create().  Nearly all such
callers were specifying tag_hash or oid_hash; which is tedious, and rather
error-prone, since a caller could easily miss the opportunity to optimize
by using hash_uint32 when appropriate.  Replace this with a design whereby
callers using simple binary-data keys just specify HASH_BLOBS and don't
need to mess with specific support functions.  hash_create() itself will
take care of optimizing when the key size is four bytes.

This nets out saving a few hundred bytes of code space, and offers
a measurable performance improvement in tidbitmap.c (which was not
exploiting the opportunity to use hash_uint32 for its 4-byte keys).
There might be some wins elsewhere too, I didn't analyze closely.

In future we could look into offering a similar optimized hashing function
for 8-byte keys.  Under this design that could be done in a centralized
and machine-independent fashion, whereas getting it right for keys of
platform-dependent sizes would've been notationally painful before.

For the moment, the old way still works fine, so as not to break source
code compatibility for loadable modules.  Eventually we might want to
remove tag_hash and friends from the exported API altogether, since there's
no real need for them to be explicitly referenced from outside dynahash.c.

Tom Lane fc2ac1fb41 Allow CHECK constraints to be placed on foreign tables.
As with NOT NULL constraints, we consider that such constraints are merely
reports of constraints that are being enforced by the remote server (or
other underlying storage mechanism).  Their only real use is to allow
planner optimizations, for example in constraint-exclusion checks.  Thus,
the code changes here amount to little more than removal of the error that
was formerly thrown for applying CHECK to a foreign table.

(In passing, do a bit of cleanup of the ALTER FOREIGN TABLE reference page,
which had accumulated some weird decisions about ordering etc.)

Tom Lane 8ec8760fc8 Revert misguided change to postgres_fdw FOR UPDATE/SHARE code.
In commit 462bd95705, I changed postgres_fdw
to rely on get_plan_rowmark() instead of get_parse_rowmark().  I still
think that's a good idea in the long run, but as Etsuro Fujita pointed out,
it doesn't work today because planner.c forces PlanRowMarks to have
markType = ROW_MARK_COPY for all foreign tables.  There's no urgent reason
to change this in the back branches, so let's just revert that part of
yesterday's commit rather than trying to design a better solution under
time pressure.

Also, add a regression test case showing what postgres_fdw does with FOR
UPDATE/SHARE.  I'd blithely assumed there was one already, else I'd have
realized yesterday that this code didn't work.

Tom Lane 462bd95705 Fix planning of SELECT FOR UPDATE on child table with partial index.
Ordinarily we can omit checking of a WHERE condition that matches a partial
index's condition, when we are using an indexscan on that partial index.
However, in SELECT FOR UPDATE we must include the "redundant" filter
condition in the plan so that it gets checked properly in an EvalPlanQual
recheck.  The planner got this mostly right, but improperly omitted the
filter condition if the index in question was on an inheritance child
table.  In READ COMMITTED mode, this could result in incorrectly returning
just-updated rows that no longer satisfy the filter condition.

The cause of the error is using get_parse_rowmark() when get_plan_rowmark()
is what should be used during planning.  In 9.3 and up, also fix the same
mistake in contrib/postgres_fdw.  It's currently harmless there (for lack
of inheritance support) but wrong is wrong, and the incorrect code might
get copied to someplace where it's more significant.

Report and fix by Kyotaro Horiguchi.  Back-patch to all supported branches.
