/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * costsize.c * Routines to compute (and set) relation sizes and path costs * * Path costs are measured in units of disk accesses: one sequential page * fetch has cost 1. All else is scaled relative to a page fetch, using * the scaling parameters * * random_page_cost Cost of a non-sequential page fetch * cpu_tuple_cost Cost of typical CPU time to process a tuple * cpu_index_tuple_cost Cost of typical CPU time to process an index tuple * cpu_operator_cost Cost of CPU time to process a typical WHERE operator * * We also use a rough estimate "effective_cache_size" of the number of * disk pages in Postgres + OS-level disk cache. (We can't simply use * NBuffers for this purpose because that would ignore the effects of * the kernel's disk cache.) * * Obviously, taking constants for these values is an oversimplification, * but it's tough enough to get any useful estimates even at this level of * detail. Note that all of these parameters are user-settable, in case * the default values are drastically off for a particular platform. * * We compute two separate costs for each path: * total_cost: total estimated cost to fetch all tuples * startup_cost: cost that is expended before first tuple is fetched * In some scenarios, such as when there is a LIMIT or we are implementing * an EXISTS(...) sub-select, it is not necessary to fetch all tuples of the * path's result. A caller can estimate the cost of fetching a partial * result by interpolating between startup_cost and total_cost. In detail: * actual_cost = startup_cost + * (total_cost - startup_cost) * tuples_to_fetch / path->parent->rows; * Note that a base relation's rows count (and, by extension, plan_rows for * plan nodes below the LIMIT node) are set without regard to any LIMIT, so * that this equation works properly. (Also, these routines guarantee not to * set the rows count to zero, so there will be no zero divide.) The LIMIT is * applied as a top-level plan node. * * For largely historical reasons, most of the routines in this module use * the passed result Path only to store their startup_cost and total_cost * results into. All the input data they need is passed as separate * parameters, even though much of it could be extracted from the Path. * An exception is made for the cost_XXXjoin() routines, which expect all * the non-cost fields of the passed XXXPath to be filled in. * * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2002, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * IDENTIFICATION * $Header: /cvsroot/pgsql/src/backend/optimizer/path/costsize.c,v 1.109 2003/06/29 23:05:04 tgl Exp $ * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #include "postgres.h" #include #include "catalog/pg_statistic.h" #include "executor/nodeHash.h" #include "miscadmin.h" #include "optimizer/clauses.h" #include "optimizer/cost.h" #include "optimizer/pathnode.h" #include "parser/parsetree.h" #include "utils/selfuncs.h" #include "utils/lsyscache.h" #include "utils/syscache.h" #define LOG2(x) (log(x) / 0.693147180559945) #define LOG6(x) (log(x) / 1.79175946922805) /* * Some Paths return less than the nominal number of rows of their parent * relations; join nodes need to do this to get the correct input count: */ #define PATH_ROWS(path) \ (IsA(path, UniquePath) ? \ ((UniquePath *) (path))->rows : \ (path)->parent->rows) double effective_cache_size = DEFAULT_EFFECTIVE_CACHE_SIZE; double random_page_cost = DEFAULT_RANDOM_PAGE_COST; double cpu_tuple_cost = DEFAULT_CPU_TUPLE_COST; double cpu_index_tuple_cost = DEFAULT_CPU_INDEX_TUPLE_COST; double cpu_operator_cost = DEFAULT_CPU_OPERATOR_COST; Cost disable_cost = 100000000.0; bool enable_seqscan = true; bool enable_indexscan = true; bool enable_tidscan = true; bool enable_sort = true; bool enable_hashagg = true; bool enable_nestloop = true; bool enable_mergejoin = true; bool enable_hashjoin = true; static Selectivity estimate_hash_bucketsize(Query *root, Var *var, int nbuckets); static bool cost_qual_eval_walker(Node *node, QualCost *total); static Selectivity approx_selectivity(Query *root, List *quals, JoinType jointype); static void set_rel_width(Query *root, RelOptInfo *rel); static double relation_byte_size(double tuples, int width); static double page_size(double tuples, int width); /* * cost_seqscan * Determines and returns the cost of scanning a relation sequentially. */ void cost_seqscan(Path *path, Query *root, RelOptInfo *baserel) { Cost startup_cost = 0; Cost run_cost = 0; Cost cpu_per_tuple; /* Should only be applied to base relations */ Assert(baserel->relid > 0); Assert(baserel->rtekind == RTE_RELATION); if (!enable_seqscan) startup_cost += disable_cost; /* * disk costs * * The cost of reading a page sequentially is 1.0, by definition.
