plan nodes, so that the executor does not need to get these items from
the range table at runtime. This will avoid needing to include these
fields in the compact range table I'm expecting to make the executor use.
WHERE clauses. createplan.c is now willing to stick a gating Result node
almost anywhere in the plan tree, and in particular one can wind up directly
underneath a MergeJoin node. This means it had better be willing to handle
Mark/Restore. Fortunately, that's trivial in such cases, since we can just
pass off the call to the input node (which the planner has previously ensured
can handle Mark/Restore). Per report from Phil Frost.
(e.g. "INSERT ... VALUES (...), (...), ...") and elsewhere as allowed
by the spec. (e.g. similar to a FROM clause subselect). initdb required.

comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.
in an inconsistent state. (This is only latent because in reality
ExecSeqRestrPos is dead code at the moment ... but someday maybe it won't
be.) Add some comments about what the API for plan node mark/restore
actually is, because it's not immediately obvious.
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.
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to
extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything
where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the
generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only
picked up the right entries ...
In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was
merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that
design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch
fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list
length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer.
A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data
about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer
to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes.
The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope,
be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are
still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of
the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
shut down cleanly if the plan node is ReScanned before the SRFs are run
to completion. This fixes the problem for SQL-language functions, but
still need work on functions using the SRF_XXX() macros.
utility statement (DeclareCursorStmt) with a SELECT query dangling from
it, rather than a SELECT query with a few unusual fields in it. Add
code to determine whether a planned query can safely be run backwards.
If DECLARE CURSOR specifies SCROLL, ensure that the plan can be run
backwards by adding a Materialize plan node if it can't. Without SCROLL,
you get an error if you try to fetch backwards from a cursor that can't
handle it. (There is still some discussion about what the exact
behavior should be, but this is necessary infrastructure in any case.)
Along the way, make EXPLAIN DECLARE CURSOR work.
locParam lists can be converted to bitmapsets to speed updating. Also,
replace 'locParam' with 'allParam', which contains all the paramIDs
relevant to the node (i.e., the union of extParam and locParam); this
saves a step during SetChangedParamList() without costing anything
elsewhere.
in the planned representation of a subplan at all any more, only SubPlan.
This means subselect.c doesn't scribble on its input anymore, which seems
like a good thing; and there are no longer three different possible
interpretations of a SubLink. Simplify node naming and improve comments
in primnodes.h. No change to stored rules, though.
execution state trees, and ExecEvalExpr takes an expression state tree
not an expression plan tree. The plan tree is now read-only as far as
the executor is concerned. Next step is to begin actually exploiting
this property.
to plan nodes, not vice-versa. All executor state nodes now inherit from
struct PlanState. Copying of plan trees has been simplified by not
storing a list of SubPlans in Plan nodes (eliminating duplicate links).
The executor still needs such a list, but it can build it during
ExecutorStart since it has to scan the plan tree anyway.
No initdb forced since no stored-on-disk structures changed, but you
will need a full recompile because of node-numbering changes.
some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's
no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe
doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is
safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic
set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache
indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting
out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction
commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off
relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed.
Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index
tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache
index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during
relcache load.
Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi,
move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly
ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows
simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache
and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c
when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and
does not need any expensive initialization.
Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan
(this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).
(WAL logging for this is not done yet, however.) Clean up a number of really
crufty things that are no longer needed now that DROP behaves nicely. Make
temp table mapper do the right things when drop or rename affecting a temp
table is rolled back. Also, remove "relation modified while in use" error
check, in favor of locking tables at first reference and holding that lock
throughout the statement.
ExecutorRun. This allows LIMIT to work in a view. Also, LIMIT in a
cursor declaration will behave in a reasonable fashion, whereas before
it was overridden by the FETCH count.
SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used
in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too.
This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT
where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did
that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like
subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the
datatype conversions can be inserted safely.
INITDB NEEDED!
(Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding
to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually
work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views
yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking
moved out of rewriter and into executor.
INITDB REQUIRED!
These two routines will now ALWAYS elog() on failure, whether you ask for
a lock or not. If you really want to get a NULL return on failure, call
the new routines heap_open_nofail()/heap_openr_nofail(). By my count there
are only about three places that actually want that behavior. There were
rather more than three places that were missing the check they needed to
make under the old convention :-(.
memory contexts. Currently, only leaks in expressions executed as
quals or projections are handled. Clean up some old dead cruft in
executor while at it --- unused fields in state nodes, that sort of thing.
materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation.
This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan
says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting
noname relations. With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c
is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it. Also clean up 'noname'
plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans,
and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.
Now indexes of pg_class and pg_type are unique indexes
and guarantee the uniqueness of correponding attributes.
heap_create() was changed to take another boolean parameter
which allows to postpone the creation of disk file.
The name of rd_nonameunlinked was changed to rd_unlinked.
It is used generally(not only for noname relations) now.
Requires initdb.
