the * character at the beginning of a pattern, and it does not match
subdomains.
Since this means we no longer need fnmatch, remove the imported implementation
from port, along with the autoconf check for it.
outer join clauses. Given, say,
... from a left join b on a.a1 = b.b1 where a.a1 = 42;
we'll deduce a clause b.b1 = 42 and then mark the original join clause
redundant (we can't remove it completely for reasons I don't feel like
squeezing into this log entry). However the original implementation of
that wasn't bulletproof, because clause_selectivity() wouldn't honor
this_selec if given nonzero varRelid --- which in practice meant that
it worked as desired *except* when considering index scan quals. Which
resulted in bogus underestimation of the size of the indexscan result for
an inner indexscan in an outer join, and consequently a possibly bad
choice of indexscan vs. bitmap scan. Fix by introducing an explicit test
into clause_selectivity(). Also, to make sure we don't trigger that test
in corner cases, change the convention to be that this_selec > 1, not
this_selec = 1, means it's been marked redundant. Per trouble report from
Scara Maccai.
Back-patch to 8.2, where the problem was introduced.
toasted values, since those could get dropped once the cursor's transaction
is over. Per bug #4553 from Andrew Gierth.
Back-patch as far as 8.1. The bug actually exists back to 7.4 when holdable
cursors were introduced, but this patch won't work before 8.1 without
significant adjustments. Given the lack of field complaints, it doesn't seem
worth the work (and risk of introducing new bugs) to try to make a patch for
the older branches.
that a Portal is a useful and sufficient additional argument for
CreateDestReceiver --- it just isn't, in most cases. Instead formalize
the approach of passing any needed parameters to the receiver separately.
One unexpected benefit of this change is that we can declare typedef Portal
in a less surprising location.
This patch is just code rearrangement and doesn't change any functionality.
I'll tackle the HOLD-cursor-vs-toast problem in a follow-on patch.
by hand. As an added bonus, the new code is smaller and more understandable,
and the ugly loops are gone.
This had been discussed all along but never implemented. It became clear that
it really needed to be fixed after a bug report by Pavan Deolasee.
though it is an inner rather than outer join type. This essentially means
that we don't bother to separate "pushed down" qual conditions from actual
join quals at a semijoin plan node; which is okay because the restrictions of
SQL syntax make it impossible to have a pushed-down qual that references the
inner side of a semijoin. This allows noticeably better optimization of
IN/EXISTS cases than we had before, since the equivalence-class machinery can
now use those quals. Also fix a couple of other mistakes that had essentially
disabled the ability to unique-ify the inner relation and then join it to just
a subset of the left-hand relations. An example case using the regression
database is
select * from tenk1 a, tenk1 b
where (a.unique1,b.unique2) in (select unique1,unique2 from tenk1 c);
which is planned reasonably well by 8.3 and earlier but had been forcing a
cartesian join of a/b in CVS HEAD.
truncations in FSM code, call FreeSpaceMapTruncateRel from smgr_redo. To
make that cleaner from modularity point of view, move the WAL-logging one
level up to RelationTruncate, and move RelationTruncate and all the
related WAL-logging to new src/backend/catalog/storage.c file. Introduce
new RelationCreateStorage and RelationDropStorage functions that are used
instead of calling smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink directly. Move the
pending rel deletion stuff from smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink to the new
functions. This leaves smgr.c as a thin wrapper around md.c; all the
transactional stuff is now in storage.c.
This will make it easier to add new forks with similar truncation logic,
like the visibility map.
* Refactor explain.c slightly to export a convenient-to-use subroutine
for printing EXPLAIN results.
* Provide hooks for plugins to get control at ExecutorStart and ExecutorEnd
as well as ExecutorRun.
* Add some minimal support for tracking the total runtime of ExecutorRun.
This code won't actually do anything unless a plugin prods it to.
* Change the API of the DefineCustomXXXVariable functions to allow nonzero
"flags" to be specified for a custom GUC variable. While at it, also make
the "bootstrap" default value for custom GUCs be explicitly specified as a
parameter to these functions. This is to eliminate confusion over where the
default comes from, as has been expressed in the past by some users of the
custom-variable facility.
* Refactor GUC code a bit to ensure that a custom variable gets initialized to
something valid (like its default value) even if the placeholder value was
invalid.
locate the target row, if the cursor was declared with FOR UPDATE or FOR
SHARE. This approach is more flexible and reliable than digging through the
plan tree; for instance it can cope with join cursors. But we still provide
the old code for use with non-FOR-UPDATE cursors. Per gripe from Robert Haas.
return the tableoid as well as the ctid for any FOR UPDATE targets that
have child tables. All child tables are listed in the ExecRowMark list,
but the executor just skips the ones that didn't produce the current row.
Curiously, this longstanding restriction doesn't seem to have been documented
anywhere; so no doc changes.
heap_form_tuple. Since this removes the last remaining caller of
heap_addheader, remove it.
Extracted from the column privileges patch from Stephen Frost, with further
code cleanups by me.
anyelement. This lacks the WITH ORDINALITY option, as well as the multiple
input arrays option added in the most recent SQL specs. But it's still a
pretty useful subset of the spec's functionality, and it is enough to
allow obsoleting contrib/intagg.
for inserting tuples in increasing TID order. It's not clear whether this
fully explains Ivan Sergio Borgonovo's complaint, but simple testing
confirms that a scan that doesn't start at block 0 can slow GIN build by
a factor of three or four.
Backpatch to 8.3. Sync scan didn't exist before that.
function as a special case.
This version still has the suspicious behavior of returning null for an
empty array (rather than zero), but this may need a wholesale revision of
empty array behavior, currently under discussion.

we extended the appendrel mechanism to support UNION ALL optimization. The
reason nobody noticed was that we are not actually using attr_needed data for
appendrel children; hence it seems more reasonable to rip it out than fix it.
Back-patch to 8.2 because an Assert failure is possible in corner cases.
Per examination of an example from Jim Nasby.
In HEAD, also get rid of AppendRelInfo.col_mappings, which is quite inadequate
to represent UNION ALL situations; depend entirely on translated_vars instead.
specifically, we can input either the "format with designators" or the
"alternative format", and we can output the former when IntervalStyle is set
to iso_8601.

("there might be triggers") rather than an exact count. This is necessary
catalog infrastructure for the upcoming patch to reduce the strength of
locking needed for trigger addition/removal. Split out and committed
separately for ease of reviewing/testing.
In passing, also get rid of the unused pg_class columns relukeys, relfkeys,
and relrefs, which haven't been maintained in many years and now have no
chance of ever being maintained (because of wishing to avoid locking).
Simon Riggs
from DateStyle, and create a new interval style that produces output matching
the SQL standard (at least for interval values that fall within the standard's
restrictions). IntervalStyle is also used to resolve the conflict between the
standard and traditional Postgres rules for interpreting negative interval
input.
Ron Mayer
(but not locked, as that would risk deadlocks). Also, make it work in a small
ring of buffers to avoid having bulk inserts trash the whole buffer arena.
Robert Haas, after an idea of Simon Riggs'.
upon requests from backends, rather than on a fixed 500msec cycle. (There's
still throttling logic to ensure it writes no more often than once per
500msec, though.) This should result in a significant reduction in stats file
write traffic in typical scenarios where the stats are demanded only
infrequently.
This approach also means that the former difficulty with changing
stats_temp_directory on-the-fly has gone away, so remove the caution about
that as well as the thrashing we did to minimize the trouble window.
In passing, also fix pgstat_report_stat() so that we will send a stats
message if we have function call stats but not table stats to report;
this fixes a bug in the recent patch to support function-call stats.
Martin Pihlak
allowed different processes to have different addresses for the shmem segment
in quite a long time, but there were still a few places left that used the
old coding convention. Clean them up to reduce confusion and improve the
compiler's ability to detect pointer type mismatches.

and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al
(which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary
char values). Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions,
reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones.
We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still
contain many instances of the old coding style.
Kris Jurka
it just return void instead of sometimes returning a TupleTableSlot. SQL
functions don't need that anymore, and noplace else does either. Eliminating
the return value also means one less hassle for the ExecutorRun hook functions
that will be supported beginning in 8.4.
on non-full-page-image WAL records, and quite arbitrarily, only if there's
less than 20% free space on the page after the insert/update (not on HOT
updates, though). The 20% cutoff should avoid most of the overhead, when
replaying a bulk insertion, for example, while ensuring that pages that
are full are marked as full in the FSM.
This is mostly to avoid the nasty worst case scenario, where you replay
from a PITR archive, and the FSM information in the base backup is really
out of date. If there was a lot of pages that the outdated FSM claims to
have free space, but don't actually have any, the first unlucky inserter
after the recovery would traverse through all those pages, just to find
out that they're full. We didn't have this problem with the old FSM
implementation, because we simply threw the FSM information away on a
non-clean shutdown.
RETURNING clause, not just a SELECT as formerly.
A side effect of this patch is that when a set-returning SQL function is used
in a FROM clause, performance is improved because the output is collected into
a tuplestore within the function, rather than using the less efficient
value-per-call mechanism.
functions into one ReadBufferExtended function, that takes the strategy
and mode as argument. There's three modes, RBM_NORMAL which is the default
used by plain ReadBuffer(), RBM_ZERO, which replaces ZeroOrReadBuffer, and
a new mode RBM_ZERO_ON_ERROR, which allows callers to read corrupt pages
without throwing an error. The FSM needs the new mode to recover from
corrupt pages, which could happend if we crash after extending an FSM file,
and the new page is "torn".
Add fork number to some error messages in bufmgr.c, that still lacked it.
This basically takes some build system code that was previously labeled
"Solaris" and ties it to the compiler rather than the operating system.

backwards scan could actually happen. In particular, pass a flag to
materialize-mode SRFs that tells them whether they need to require random
access. In passing, also suppress unneeded backward-scan overhead for a
Portal's holdStore tuplestore. Per my proposal about reducing I/O costs for
tuplestores.
