2023-02-07Remove useless casts to (void *) in arguments of some system functionsPeter Eisentraut
The affected functions are: bsearch, memcmp, memcpy, memset, memmove, qsort, repalloc Reviewed-by: Corey Huinker <[email protected]> Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/fd9adf5d-b1aa-e82f-e4c7-263c30145807%40enterprisedb.com
2023-02-07Include values of A_Const nodes in query jumblingMichael Paquier
Like the implementation for node copy, write and read, this node requires a custom implementation so as the query jumbling is able to consider the correct value assigned to it, depending on its type (int, float, bool, string, bitstring). Based on a dump of pg_stat_statements from the regression database, this would confuse the query jumbling of the following queries: - SET. - COPY TO with SELECT queries. - START TRANSACTION with different isolation levels. - ALTER TABLE with default expressions. - CREATE TABLE with partition bounds. Note that there may be a long-term argument in tracking the location of such nodes so as query strings holding such nodes could be normalized, but this is left as a separate discussion.

2023-01-31Generate code for query jumbling through gen_node_support.plMichael Paquier
This commit changes the query jumbling code in queryjumblefuncs.c to be generated automatically based on the information of the nodes in the headers of src/include/nodes/ by using gen_node_support.pl. This approach offers many advantages: - Support for query jumbling for all the utility statements, based on the state of their parsed Nodes and not only their query string. This will greatly ease the switch to normalize the information of some DDLs, like SET or CALL for example (this is left unchanged and should be part of a separate discussion). With this feature, the number of entries stored for utilities in pg_stat_statements is reduced (for example now "CHECKPOINT" and "checkpoint" mean the same thing with the same query ID). - Documentation of query jumbling directly in the structure definition of the nodes. Since this code has been introduced in pg_stat_statements and then moved to code, the reasons behind the choices of what should be included in the jumble are rather sparse. Note that some explanation is added for the most relevant parts, as a start. - Overall code reduction and more consistency with the other parts generating read, write and copy depending on the nodes. The query jumbling is controlled by a couple of new node attributes, documented in nodes/nodes.h: - custom_query_jumble, to mark a Node as having a custom implementation. - no_query_jumble, to ignore entirely a Node. - query_jumble_ignore, to ignore a field in a Node. - query_jumble_location, to mark a location in a Node, for normalization. This can apply only to int fields, with "location" in their name (only Const as of this commit). There should be no compatibility impact on pg_stat_statements, as the new code applies the jumbling to the same fields for each node (its regression tests have no modification, for one). Some benchmark of the query jumbling between HEAD and this commit for SELECT and DMLs has proved that this new code does not cause a performance regression, with computation times close for both methods. For utility queries, the new method is slower than the previous method of calculating a hash of the query string, though we are talking about extra ns-level changes based on what I measured, which is unnoticeable even for OLTP workloads as a query ID is calculated once per query post-parse analysis.

2023-01-30Invent "join domains" to replace the below_outer_join hack.Tom Lane
EquivalenceClasses are now understood as applying within a "join domain", which is a set of inner-joined relations (possibly underneath an outer join). We no longer need to treat an EC from below an outer join as a second-class citizen. I have hopes of eventually being able to treat outer-join clauses via EquivalenceClasses, by means of only applying deductions within the EC's join domain. There are still problems in the way of that, though, so for now the reconsider_outer_join_clause logic is still here. I haven't been able to get rid of RestrictInfo.is_pushed_down either, but I wonder if that could be recast using JoinDomains. I had to hack one test case in postgres_fdw.sql to make it still test what it was meant to, because postgres_fdw is inconsistent about how it deals with quals containing non-shippable expressions; see https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]. That should be improved, but I don't think it's within the scope of this patch series. Patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for review.

2023-01-30Do assorted mop-up in the planner.Tom Lane
Remove RestrictInfo.nullable_relids, along with a good deal of infrastructure that calculated it. One use-case for it was in join_clause_is_movable_to, but we can now replace that usage with a check to see if the clause's relids include any outer join that can null the target relation. The other use-case was in join_clause_is_movable_into, but that test can just be dropped entirely now that the clause's relids include outer joins. Furthermore, join_clause_is_movable_into should now be accurate enough that it will accept anything returned by generate_join_implied_equalities, so we can restore the Assert that was diked out in commit 95f4e59c3. Remove the outerjoin_delayed mechanism. We needed this before to prevent quals from getting evaluated below outer joins that should null some of their vars. Now that we consider varnullingrels while placing quals, that's taken care of automatically, so throw the whole thing away. Teach remove_useless_result_rtes to also remove useless FromExprs. Having done that, the delay_upper_joins flag serves no purpose any more and we can remove it, largely reverting 11086f2f2. Use constant TRUE for "dummy" clauses when throwing back outer joins. This improves on a hack I introduced in commit 6a6522529. If we have a left-join clause l.x = r.y, and a WHERE clause l.x = constant, we generate r.y = constant and then don't really have a need for the join clause. But we must throw the join clause back anyway after marking it redundant, so that the join search heuristics won't think this is a clauseless join and avoid it. That was a kluge introduced under time pressure, and after looking at it I thought of a better way: let's just introduce constant-TRUE "join clauses" instead, and get rid of them at the end. This improves the generated plans for such cases by not having to test a redundant join clause. We can also get rid of the ugly hack used to mark such clauses as redundant for selectivity estimation.

2023-01-30Make Vars be outer-join-aware.Tom Lane
Traditionally we used the same Var struct to represent the value of a table column everywhere in parse and plan trees. This choice predates our support for SQL outer joins, and it's really a pretty bad idea with outer joins, because the Var's value can depend on where it is in the tree: it might go to NULL above an outer join. So expression nodes that are equal() per equalfuncs.c might not represent the same value, which is a huge correctness hazard for the planner. To improve this, decorate Var nodes with a bitmapset showing which outer joins (identified by RTE indexes) may have nulled them at the point in the parse tree where the Var appears. This allows us to trust that equal() Vars represent the same value. A certain amount of klugery is still needed to cope with cases where we re-order two outer joins, but it's possible to make it work without sacrificing that core principle. PlaceHolderVars receive similar decoration for the same reason. In the planner, we include these outer join bitmapsets into the relids that an expression is considered to depend on, and in consequence also add outer-join relids to the relids of join RelOptInfos. This allows us to correctly perceive whether an expression can be calculated above or below a particular outer join. This change affects FDWs that want to plan foreign joins. They *must* follow suit when labeling foreign joins in order to match with the core planner, but for many purposes (if postgres_fdw is any guide) they'd prefer to consider only base relations within the join. To support both requirements, redefine ForeignScan.fs_relids as base+OJ relids, and add a new field fs_base_relids that's set up by the core planner. Large though it is, this commit just does the minimum necessary to install the new mechanisms and get check-world passing again. Follow-up patches will perform some cleanup. (The README additions and comments mention some stuff that will appear in the follow-up.) Patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for review.

2023-01-26Make auto_explain print the query identifier in verbose modeMichael Paquier
When auto_explain.log_verbose is on, auto_explain should print in the logs plans equivalent to the EXPLAIN (VERBOSE). However, when compute_query_id is on, query identifiers were not showing up, being only handled by EXPLAIN (VERBOSE). This brings auto_explain on par with EXPLAIN regarding that. Note that like EXPLAIN, auto_explain does not show the query identifier when compute_query_id=regress. The change is done so as the choice of printing the query identifier is done in ExplainPrintPlan() rather than in ExplainOnePlan(), to avoid a duplication of the logic dealing with the query ID. auto_explain is the only in-core caller of ExplainPrintPlan(). While looking at the area, I have noticed that more consolidation between EXPLAIN and auto_explain would be in order for the logging of the plan duration and the buffer usage. This refactoring is left as a future change. Author: Atsushi Torikoshi Reviewed-by: Justin Pryzby, Julien Rouhaud Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]

2023-01-18Get rid of the "new" and "old" entries in a view's rangetable.Tom Lane
The rule system needs "old" and/or "new" pseudo-RTEs in rule actions that are ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Historically it's put such entries into the ON SELECT rules of views as well, but those are really quite vestigial. The only thing we've used them for is to carry the view's relid forward to AcquireExecutorLocks (so that we can re-lock the view to verify it hasn't changed before re-using a plan) and to carry its relid and permissions data forward to execution-time permissions checks. What we can do instead of that is to retain these fields of the RTE_RELATION RTE for the view even after we convert it to an RTE_SUBQUERY RTE. This requires a tiny amount of extra complication in the planner and AcquireExecutorLocks, but on the other hand we can get rid of the logic that moves that data from one place to another. The principal immediate benefit of doing this, aside from a small saving in the pg_rewrite data for views, is that these pseudo-RTEs no longer trigger ruleutils.c's heuristic about qualifying variable names when the rangetable's length is more than 1. That results in quite a number of small simplifications in regression test outputs, which are all to the good IMO. Bump catversion because we need to dump a few more fields of RTE_SUBQUERY RTEs. While those will always be zeroes anyway in stored rules (because we'd never populate them until query rewrite) they are useful for debugging, and it seems like we'd better make sure to transmit such RTEs accurately in plans sent to parallel workers. I don't think the executor actually examines these fields after startup, but someday it might. This is a second attempt at committing 1b4d280ea. The difference from the first time is that now we can add some filtering rules to AdjustUpgrade.pm to allow cross-version upgrade testing to pass despite all the cosmetic changes in CREATE VIEW outputs.

2023-01-18Remove redundant grouping and DISTINCT columns.Tom Lane
Avoid explicitly grouping by columns that we know are redundant for sorting, for example we need group by only one of x and y in SELECT ... WHERE x = y GROUP BY x, y This comes up more often than you might think, as shown by the changes in the regression tests. It's nearly free to detect too, since we are just piggybacking on the existing logic that detects redundant pathkeys. (In some of the existing plans that change, it's visible that a sort step preceding the grouping step already didn't bother to sort by the redundant column, making the old plan a bit silly-looking.) To do this, build processed_groupClause and processed_distinctClause lists that omit any provably-redundant sort items, and consult those not the originals where relevant. This means that within the planner, one should usually consult root->processed_groupClause or root->processed_distinctClause if one wants to know which columns are to be grouped on; but to check whether grouping or distinct-ing is happening at all, check non-NIL-ness of parse->groupClause or parse->distinctClause. This is comparable to longstanding rules about handling the HAVING clause, so I don't think it'll be a huge maintenance problem. nodeAgg.c also needs minor mods, because it's now possible to generate AGG_PLAIN and AGG_SORTED Agg nodes with zero grouping columns.

2023-01-11Common function for percent placeholder replacementPeter Eisentraut
There are a number of places where a shell command is constructed with percent-placeholders (like %x). It's cumbersome to have to open-code this several times. This factors out this logic into a separate function. This also allows us to ensure consistency for and document some subtle behaviors, such as what to do with unrecognized placeholders. The unified handling is now that incorrect and unknown placeholders are an error, where previously in most cases they were skipped or ignored.

Even if the remote server version has TABLESAMPLE support, the foreign table may point to incompatible relkind (e.g. a view or a sequence). If the relkind does not support TABLESAMPLE, error out if TABLESAMPLE was requested specifically (as system/bernoulli), or fallback to random just like we do for old server versions. We currently end up disabling sampling for such relkind values anyway, due to reltuples being -1 or 1, but that seems rather accidental, and might get broken by improving reltuples estimates, etc. So better to make the check explicit.

2022-12-30Sample postgres_fdw tables remotely during ANALYZETomas Vondra
When collecting ANALYZE sample on foreign tables, postgres_fdw fetched all rows and performed the sampling locally. For large tables this means transferring and immediately discarding large amounts of data. This commit allows the sampling to be performed on the remote server, transferring only the much smaller sample. The sampling is performed using the built-in TABLESAMPLE methods (system, bernoulli) or random() function, depending on the remote server version. Remote sampling can be enabled by analyze_sampling on the foreign server and/or foreign table, with supported values 'off', 'auto', 'system', 'bernoulli' and 'random'. The default value is 'auto' which uses either 'bernoulli' (TABLESAMPLE method) or 'random' (for remote servers without TABLESAMPLE support).

To fix, clamp the digit count to be not more than FLT_DIG.

This is applied to functions that are not considered as critical (aka that could be called repeatedly for monitoring purposes).

2022-12-20Allow batching of inserts during cross-partition updates.Etsuro Fujita
Commit 927f453a9 disallowed batching added by commit b663a4136 to be used for the inserts performed as part of cross-partition updates of partitioned tables, mainly because the previous code in nodeModifyTable.c couldn't handle pending inserts into foreign-table partitions that are also UPDATE target partitions. But we don't have such a limitation anymore (cf. commit ffbb7e65a), so let's allow for this by removing from execPartition.c the restriction added by commit 927f453a9 that batching is only allowed if the query command type is CMD_INSERT. In postgres_fdw, since commit 86dc90056 changed it to effectively disable cross-partition updates in the case where a foreign-table partition chosen to insert rows into is also an UPDATE target partition, allow batching in the case where a foreign-table partition chosen to do so is *not* also an UPDATE target partition. This is enabled by the "batch_size" option added by commit b663a4136, which is disabled by default. This patch also adjusts the test case added by commit 927f453a9 to confirm that the inserts performed as part of a cross-partition update of a partitioned table indeed uses batching.

2022-12-16Remove pessimistic cost penalization from Incremental SortDavid Rowley
When incremental sorts were added in v13 a 1.5x pessimism factor was added to the cost modal. Seemingly this was done because the cost modal only has an estimate of the total number of input rows and the number of presorted groups. It assumes that the input rows will be evenly distributed throughout the presorted groups. The 1.5x pessimism factor was added to slightly reduce the likelihood of incremental sorts being used in the hope to avoid performance regressions where an incremental sort plan was picked and turned out slower due to a large skew in the number of rows in the presorted groups. An additional quirk with the path generation code meant that we could consider both a sort and an incremental sort on paths with presorted keys. This meant that with the pessimism factor, it was possible that we opted to perform a sort rather than an incremental sort when the given path had presorted keys. Here we remove the 1.5x pessimism factor to allow incremental sorts to have a fairer chance at being chosen against a full sort. Previously we would generally create a sort path on the cheapest input path (if that wasn't sorted already) and incremental sort paths on any path which had presorted keys. This meant that if the cheapest input path wasn't completely sorted but happened to have presorted keys, we would create a full sort path *and* an incremental sort path on that input path. Here we change this logic so that if there are presorted keys, we only create an incremental sort path, and create sort paths only when a full sort is required. Both the removal of the cost pessimism factor and the changes made to the path generation make it more likely that incremental sorts will now be chosen. That, of course, as with teaching the planner any new tricks, means an increased likelihood that the planner will perform an incremental sort when it's not the best method. Our standard escape hatch for these cases is an enable_* GUC. enable_incremental_sort already exists for this. This came out of a report by Pavel Luzanov where he mentioned that the master branch was choosing to perform a Seq Scan -> Sort -> Group Aggregate for his query with an ORDER BY aggregate function. The v15 plan for his query performed an Index Scan -> Group Aggregate, of course, the aggregate performed the final sort internally in nodeAgg.c for the aggregate's ORDER BY. The ideal plan would have been to use the index, which provided partially sorted input then use an incremental sort to provide the aggregate with the sorted input. This was not being chosen due to the pessimism in the incremental sort cost modal, so here we remove that and rationalize the path generation so that sort and incremental sort plans don't have to needlessly compete. We assume that it's senseless to ever use a full sort on a given input path where an incremental sort can be performed.

2022-12-10Standardize error reports in unimplemented I/O functions.Tom Lane
We chose a specific wording of the not-implemented errors for pseudotype I/O functions and other cases where there's little value in implementing input and/or output. gtsvectorin never got that memo though, nor did most of contrib. Make these all fall in line, mostly because I'm a neatnik but also to remove unnecessary translatable strings. gbtreekey_in needs a bit of extra love since it supports multiple SQL types. Sadly, gbtreekey_out doesn't have the ability to do that, but I think it's unreachable anyway. Noted while surveying datatype input functions to see what we have left to fix.
2022-12-09Allow DateTimeParseError to handle bad-timezone error messages.Tom Lane
Pay down some ancient technical debt (dating to commit 022fd9966): fix a couple of places in datetime parsing that were throwing ereport's immediately instead of returning a DTERR code that could be interpreted by DateTimeParseError. The reason for that was that there was no mechanism for passing any auxiliary data (such as a zone name) to DateTimeParseError, and these errors seemed to really need it. Up to now it didn't matter that much just where the error got thrown, but now we'd like to have a hard policy that datetime parse errors get thrown from just the one place. Hence, invent a "DateTimeErrorExtra" struct that can be used to carry any extra values needed for specific DTERR codes. Perhaps in the future somebody will be motivated to use this to improve the specificity of other DateTimeParseError messages, but for now just deal with the timezone-error cases. This is on the way to making the datetime input functions report parse errors softly; but it's really an independent change, so commit separately.

2022-12-09Convert a few datatype input functions to use "soft" error reporting.Tom Lane
This patch converts the input functions for bool, int2, int4, int8, float4, float8, numeric, and contrib/cube to the new soft-error style. array_in and record_in are also converted. There's lots more to do, but this is enough to provide proof-of-concept that the soft-error API is usable, as well as reference examples for how to convert input functions. This patch is mostly by me, but it owes very substantial debt to earlier work by Nikita Glukhov, Andrew Dunstan, and Amul Sul. Thanks to Andres Freund for review.

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.
