or bitmap), use pred_test to be a little smarter about cases where a
filter clause is logically unnecessary. This may be overkill for the
plain indexscan case, but it's definitely useful for OR'd bitmap scans.
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.
of timetz values misbehaved in --enable-integer-datetime cases, and
EXTRACT(EPOCH) subtracted the zone instead of adding it in all cases.
Backpatch to all supported releases (except --enable-integer-datetime code
does not exist in 7.2).
As I pointed out a few days ago, this code has failed to do anything useful
for some time ... and if we did want to revive the capability to select
functions by nearness of inheritance ancestry, this is the wrong place
and way to do it anyway. The knowledge would need to go into
func_select_candidate() instead. Perhaps someday someone will be motivated
to do that, but I am not today.
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.
c_expr. Perhaps the restriction was once needed to avoid bison errors,
but it seems to work just fine now --- and even generates a slightly
smaller state machine. This change allows examples like
SELECT '13:45'::timetz AT TIME ZONE '-07:00'::interval;
to work without parentheses around the right-hand input.
code in prepqual.c had a small drawback: the flatten_andors code was
able to cope with deeply nested AND/OR structures (like 10000 ORs in
a row), whereas eval_const_expressions tends to recurse until it
overruns the stack. Revise eval_const_expressions so that it doesn't
choke on deeply nested ANDs or ORs.
make some estimate of which available indexes to AND together, rather
than blindly taking 'em all. This could probably stand further
improvement, but it seems to do OK in simple tests.
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.
logic operations during planning. Seems cleaner to create two new Path
node types, instead --- this avoids duplication of cost-estimation code.
Also, create an enable_bitmapscan GUC parameter to control use of bitmap
plans.
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
drifts under me.
* Changes the APIs to the timezone functions to take a pg_tz pointer as
an argument, representing the timezone to use for the selected
operation.
* Adds a global_timezone variable that represents the current timezone
in the backend as set by SET TIMEZONE (or guc, or env, etc).
* Implements a hash-table cache of loaded tables, so we don't have to
read and parse the TZ file everytime we change a timezone. While not
necesasry now (we don't change timezones very often), I beleive this
will be necessary (or at least good) when "multiple timezones in the
same query" is eventually implemented. And code-wise, this was the time
to do it.
There are no user-visible changes at this time. Implementing the
"multiple zones in one query" is a later step...
This also gets rid of some of the cruft needed to "back out a timezone
change", since we previously couldn't check a timezone unless it was
activated first.
Passes regression tests on win32, linux (slackware 10) and solaris x86.

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.
critical and noncritical contexts (an example of noncritical being
post-checkpoint removal of dead xlog segments). In the critical cases
the CRIT_SECTION mechanism will cause ERROR to be promoted to PANIC
anyway, and in the noncritical cases we shouldn't let an error take
down the entire database. Arguably there should be *no* explicit
PANIC errors in this module, only more START/END_CRIT_SECTION calls,
but I didn't go that far. (Yet.)
when recycling a large number of xlog segments during checkpoint.
The former behavior searched from the same start point each time,
requiring O(checkpoint_segments^2) stat() calls to relocate all the
segments. Instead keep track of where we stopped last time through.
which induced bug #1597 in addition to having several other misbehaviors
(like labeling the dump with a completion time having nothing to do with
reality). Instead just print out the desired strings where RestoreArchive
was already emitting the 'PostgreSQL database dump' and
'PostgreSQL database dump complete' strings.
assuming comparison of atttypid is sufficient. In a dropped column
atttypid will be 0, and we'd better check the physical-storage data
to make sure the tupdescs are physically compatible.
I do not believe there is a real risk before 8.0, since before that
we only used this routine to compare successive states of the tupdesc
for a particular relation. But 8.0's typcache.c might be comparing
arbitrary tupdescs so we'd better play it safer.
