2025-01-16Add OLD/NEW support to RETURNING in DML queries.Dean Rasheed
This allows the RETURNING list of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE queries to explicitly return old and new values by using the special aliases "old" and "new", which are automatically added to the query (if not already defined) while parsing its RETURNING list, allowing things like: RETURNING old.colname, new.colname, ... RETURNING old.*, new.* Additionally, a new syntax is supported, allowing the names "old" and "new" to be changed to user-supplied alias names, e.g.: RETURNING WITH (OLD AS o, NEW AS n) o.colname, n.colname, ... This is useful when the names "old" and "new" are already defined, such as inside trigger functions, allowing backwards compatibility to be maintained -- the interpretation of any existing queries that happen to already refer to relations called "old" or "new", or use those as aliases for other relations, is not changed. For an INSERT, old values will generally be NULL, and for a DELETE, new values will generally be NULL, but that may change for an INSERT with an ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE clause, or if a query rewrite rule changes the command type. Therefore, we put no restrictions on the use of old and new in any DML queries.

2024-03-30Add support for MERGE ... WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE.Dean Rasheed
This allows MERGE commands to include WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE actions, which operate on rows that exist in the target relation, but not in the data source. These actions can execute UPDATE, DELETE, or DO NOTHING sub-commands. This is in contrast to already-supported WHEN NOT MATCHED actions, which operate on rows that exist in the data source, but not in the target relation. To make this distinction clearer, such actions may now be written as WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET. Writing WHEN NOT MATCHED without specifying BY SOURCE or BY TARGET is equivalent to writing WHEN NOT MATCHED BY TARGET. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Alvaro Herrera, Ted Yu and Vik Fearing.

2024-03-17Add RETURNING support to MERGE.Dean Rasheed
This allows a RETURNING clause to be appended to a MERGE query, to return values based on each row inserted, updated, or deleted. As with plain INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE commands, the returned values are based on the new contents of the target table for INSERT and UPDATE actions, and on its old contents for DELETE actions. Values from the source relation may also be returned. As with INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE, the output of MERGE ... RETURNING may be used as the source relation for other operations such as WITH queries and COPY commands. Additionally, a special function merge_action() is provided, which returns 'INSERT', 'UPDATE', or 'DELETE', depending on the action executed for each row. The merge_action() function can be used anywhere in the RETURNING list, including in arbitrary expressions and subqueries, but it is an error to use it anywhere outside of a MERGE query's RETURNING list.

2024-03-04Remove unused #include's from backend .c filesPeter Eisentraut
as determined by include-what-you-use (IWYU) While IWYU also suggests to *add* a bunch of #include's (which is its main purpose), this patch does not do that. In some cases, a more specific #include replaces another less specific one. Some manual adjustments of the automatic result: - IWYU currently doesn't know about includes that provide global variable declarations (like -Wmissing-variable-declarations), so those includes are being kept manually. - All includes for port(ability) headers are being kept for now, to play it safe. - No changes of catalog/pg_foo.h to catalog/pg_foo_d.h, to keep the patch from exploding in size. Note that this patch touches just *.c files, so nothing declared in header files changes in hidden ways. As a small example, in src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c, some IWYU pragma annotations are added to handle a special case there.

2024-02-29Support MERGE into updatable views.Dean Rasheed
This allows the target relation of MERGE to be an auto-updatable or trigger-updatable view, and includes support for WITH CHECK OPTION, security barrier views, and security invoker views. A trigger-updatable view must have INSTEAD OF triggers for every type of action (INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE) mentioned in the MERGE command. An auto-updatable view must not have any INSTEAD OF triggers. Mixing auto-update and trigger-update actions (i.e., having a partial set of INSTEAD OF triggers) is not supported. Rule-updatable views are also not supported, since there is no rewriter support for non-SELECT rules with MERGE operations. Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Jian He and Alvaro Herrera.

2024-02-21MERGE ... DO NOTHING: require SELECT privilegesAlvaro Herrera
Verify that a user running MERGE with a DO NOTHING clause has privileges to read the table, even if no columns are referenced. Such privileges were already required if the ON clause or any of the WHEN conditions referenced any column at all, so there's no functional change in practice. This change fixes an assertion failure in the case where no column is referenced by the command and the WHEN clauses are all DO NOTHING. Backpatch to 15, where MERGE was introduced.

2023-05-19Pre-beta mechanical code beautification.Tom Lane
Run pgindent, pgperltidy, and reformat-dat-files. This set of diffs is a bit larger than typical. We've updated to pg_bsd_indent 2.1.2, which properly indents variable declarations that have multi-line initialization expressions (the continuation lines are now indented one tab stop). We've also updated to perltidy version 20230309 and changed some of its settings, which reduces its desire to add whitespace to lines to make assignments etc. line up. Going forward, that should make for fewer random-seeming changes to existing code. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]

2022-12-06Rework query relation permission checkingAlvaro Herrera
Currently, information about the permissions to be checked on relations mentioned in a query is stored in their range table entries. So the executor must scan the entire range table looking for relations that need to have permissions checked. This can make the permission checking part of the executor initialization needlessly expensive when many inheritance children are present in the range range. While the permissions need not be checked on the individual child relations, the executor still must visit every range table entry to filter them out. This commit moves the permission checking information out of the range table entries into a new plan node called RTEPermissionInfo. Every top-level (inheritance "root") RTE_RELATION entry in the range table gets one and a list of those is maintained alongside the range table. This new list is initialized by the parser when initializing the range table. The rewriter can add more entries to it as rules/views are expanded. Finally, the planner combines the lists of the individual subqueries into one flat list that is passed to the executor for checking. To make it quick to find the RTEPermissionInfo entry belonging to a given relation, RangeTblEntry gets a new Index field 'perminfoindex' that stores the corresponding RTEPermissionInfo's index in the query's list of the latter. ExecutorCheckPerms_hook has gained another List * argument; the signature is now: typedef bool (*ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type) (List *rangeTable, List *rtePermInfos, bool ereport_on_violation); The first argument is no longer used by any in-core uses of the hook, but we leave it in place because there may be other implementations that do. Implementations should likely scan the rtePermInfos list to determine which operations to allow or deny.

2022-04-12Change mechanism to set up source targetlist in MERGEAlvaro Herrera
We were setting MERGE source subplan's targetlist by expanding the individual attributes of the source relation completely, early in the parse analysis phase. This failed to work when the condition of an action included a whole-row reference, causing setrefs.c to error out with ERROR: variable not found in subplan target lists because at that point there is nothing to resolve the whole-row reference with. We can fix this by having preprocess_targetlist expand the source targetlist for Vars required from the source rel by all actions. Moreover, by using this expansion mechanism we can do away with the targetlist expansion in transformMergeStmt, which is good because then we no longer pull in columns that aren't needed for anything. Add a test case for the problem. While at it, remove some redundant code in preprocess_targetlist(): MERGE was doing separately what is already being done for UPDATE/DELETE, so we can just rely on the latter and remove the former. (The handling of inherited rels was different for MERGE, but that was a no-longer- necessary hack.) Fix outdated, related comments for fix_join_expr also.

2022-03-28Add support for MERGE SQL commandAlvaro Herrera
MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows -- a task that would otherwise require multiple PL statements. For example, MERGE INTO target AS t USING source AS s ON t.tid = s.sid WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta WHEN MATCHED THEN DELETE WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN DO NOTHING; MERGE works with regular tables, partitioned tables and inheritance hierarchies, including column and row security enforcement, as well as support for row and statement triggers and transition tables therein. MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead. MERGE can be used from PL/pgSQL. MERGE does not support targetting updatable views or foreign tables, and RETURNING clauses are not allowed either. These limitations are likely fixable with sufficient effort. Rewrite rules are also not supported, but it's not clear that we'd want to support them.

This reverts commits d204ef63776b8a00ca220adec23979091564e465, 83454e3c2b28141c0db01c7d2027e01040df5249 and a few more commits thereafter (complete list at the end) related to MERGE feature. While the feature was fully functional, with sufficient test coverage and necessary documentation, it was felt that some parts of the executor and parse-analyzer can use a different design and it wasn't possible to do that in the available time. So it was decided to revert the patch for PG11 and retry again in the future. Thanks again to all reviewers and bug reporters.

2018-04-02MERGE SQL Command following SQL:2016Simon Riggs
MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows a task that would other require multiple PL statements. e.g. MERGE INTO target AS t USING source AS s ON t.tid = s.sid WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta WHEN MATCHED THEN DELETE WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN DO NOTHING; MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including column and row security enforcement, as well as support for row, statement and transition triggers. MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead. MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL. MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules, RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables. MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016. Includes full tests and documentation, including full isolation tests to demonstrate the concurrent behavior. This version written from scratch in 2017 by Simon Riggs, using docs and tests originally written in 2009. Later work from Pavan Deolasee has been both complex and deep, leaving the lead author credit now in his hands.
