Add support function requests for estimating the selectivity, cost, and number of result rows (if a SRF) of the target function. The lack of a way to estimate selectivity of a boolean-returning function in WHERE has been a recognized deficiency of the planner since Berkeley days. This commit finally fixes it. In addition, non-constant estimates of cost and number of output rows are now possible. We still fall back to looking at procost and prorows if the support function doesn't service the request, of course. To make concrete use of the possibility of estimating output rowcount for SRFs, this commit adds support functions for array_unnest(anyarray) and the integer variants of generate_series; the lack of plausible rowcount estimates for those, even when it's obvious to a human, has been a repeated subject of complaints. Obviously, much more could now be done in this line, but I'm mostly just trying to get the infrastructure in place. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/15193.1548028093@sss.pgh.pa.us |

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------
This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree. This does not preclude their
usefulness.
User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.
When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target. You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.
Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types. To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command. In a fresh database,
you can simply do
CREATE EXTENSION module_name;
See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
