Tom Lane	cb77bc0442	Further stabilize a postgres_fdw test case. ... This patch causes one postgres_fdw test case to revert to the plan it used before aa86129e1, i.e., using a remote sort in preference to local sort. That decision is actually a coin-flip because cost_sort() will give the same answer on both sides, so that the plan choice comes down to little more than roundoff error. In consequence, the test output can change as a result of even minor changes in nearby costs, as we saw in aa86129e1 (compare also b690e5fac and 4b14e1871). b690e5fac's solution to stabilizing the adjacent test case was to disable sorting locally, and here we extend that to the currently- problematic case. Without this, the following patch would cause this plan choice to change back in this same way, for even less apparent reason.

David Rowley	42473b3b31	Have the planner replace COUNT(ANY) with COUNT(*), when possible ... This adds SupportRequestSimplifyAggref to allow pg_proc.prosupport functions to receive an Aggref and allow them to determine if there is a way that the Aggref call can be optimized. Also added is a support function to allow transformation of COUNT(ANY) into COUNT(*). This is possible to do when the given "ANY" cannot be NULL and also that there are no ORDER BY / DISTINCT clauses within the Aggref. This is a useful transformation to do as it is common that people write COUNT(1), which until now has added unneeded overhead. When counting a NOT NULL column. The overheads can be worse as that might mean deforming more of the tuple, which for large fact tables may be many columns in. It may be possible to add prosupport functions for other aggregates. We could consider if ORDER BY could be dropped for some calls, e.g. the ORDER BY is quite useless in MAX(c ORDER BY c). There is a little bit of passing fallout from adjusting expr_is_nonnullable() to handle Const which results in a plan change in the aggregates.out regression test. Previously, nothing was able to determine that "One-Time Filter: (100 IS NOT NULL)" was always true, therefore useless to include in the plan.

David Rowley	6d0eba6627	Use stack allocated StringInfoDatas, where possible ... Various places that were using StringInfo but didn't need that StringInfo to exist beyond the scope of the function were using makeStringInfo(), which allocates both a StringInfoData and the buffer it uses as two separate allocations. It's more efficient for these cases to use a StringInfoData on the stack and initialize it with initStringInfo(), which only allocates the string buffer. This also simplifies the cleanup, in a few cases.

David Rowley	2470ca435c	Use CompactAttribute more often, when possible ... 5983a4cff added CompactAttribute for storing commonly used fields from FormData_pg_attribute. 5983a4cff didn't go to the trouble of adjusting every location where we can use CompactAttribute rather than FormData_pg_attribute, so here we change the remaining ones. There are some locations where I've left the code using FormData_pg_attribute. These are mostly in the ALTER TABLE code. Using CompactAttribute here seems more risky as often the TupleDesc is being changed and those changes may not have been flushed to the CompactAttribute yet. I've also left record_recv(), record_send(), record_cmp(), record_eq() and record_image_eq() alone as it's not clear to me that accessing the CompactAttribute is a win here due to the FormData_pg_attribute still having to be accessed for most cases. Switching the relevant parts to use CompactAttribute would result in having to access both for common cases. Careful benchmarking may reveal that something can be done to make this better, but in absence of that, the safer option is to leave these alone. In ReorderBufferToastReplace(), there was a check to skip attnums < 0 while looping over the TupleDesc. Doing this is redundant since TupleDescs don't store < 0 attnums. Removing that code allows us to move to using CompactAttribute. The change in validateDomainCheckConstraint() just moves fetching the FormData_pg_attribute into the ERROR path, which is cold due to calling errstart_cold() and results in code being moved out of the common path.

Etsuro Fujita	12609fbacb	Fix EvalPlanQual handling of foreign/custom joins in ExecScanFetch. ... If inside an EPQ recheck, ExecScanFetch would run the recheck method function for foreign/custom joins even if they aren't descendant nodes in the EPQ recheck plan tree, which is problematic at least in the foreign-join case, because such a foreign join isn't guaranteed to have an alternative local-join plan required for running the recheck method function; in the postgres_fdw case this could lead to a segmentation fault or an assert failure in an assert-enabled build when running the recheck method function. Even if inside an EPQ recheck, any scan nodes that aren't descendant ones in the EPQ recheck plan tree should be normally processed by using the access method function; fix by modifying ExecScanFetch so that if inside an EPQ recheck, it runs the recheck method function for foreign/custom joins that are descendant nodes in the EPQ recheck plan tree as before and runs the access method function for foreign/custom joins that aren't. This fix also adds to postgres_fdw an isolation test for an EPQ recheck that caused issues stated above. Oversight in commit 385f337c9.

Richard Guo	8e11859102	Implement Eager Aggregation ... Eager aggregation is a query optimization technique that partially pushes aggregation past a join, and finalizes it once all the relations are joined. Eager aggregation may reduce the number of input rows to the join and thus could result in a better overall plan. In the current planner architecture, the separation between the scan/join planning phase and the post-scan/join phase means that aggregation steps are not visible when constructing the join tree, limiting the planner's ability to exploit aggregation-aware optimizations. To implement eager aggregation, we collect information about aggregate functions in the targetlist and HAVING clause, along with grouping expressions from the GROUP BY clause, and store it in the PlannerInfo node. During the scan/join planning phase, this information is used to evaluate each base or join relation to determine whether eager aggregation can be applied. If applicable, we create a separate RelOptInfo, referred to as a grouped relation, to represent the partially-aggregated version of the relation and generate grouped paths for it. Grouped relation paths can be generated in two ways. The first method involves adding sorted and hashed partial aggregation paths on top of the non-grouped paths. To limit planning time, we only consider the cheapest or suitably-sorted non-grouped paths in this step. Alternatively, grouped paths can be generated by joining a grouped relation with a non-grouped relation. Joining two grouped relations is currently not supported. To further limit planning time, we currently adopt a strategy where partial aggregation is pushed only to the lowest feasible level in the join tree where it provides a significant reduction in row count. This strategy also helps ensure that all grouped paths for the same grouped relation produce the same set of rows, which is important to support a fundamental assumption of the planner. For the partial aggregation that is pushed down to a non-aggregated relation, we need to consider all expressions from this relation that are involved in upper join clauses and include them in the grouping keys, using compatible operators. This is essential to ensure that an aggregated row from the partial aggregation matches the other side of the join if and only if each row in the partial group does. This ensures that all rows within the same partial group share the same "destiny", which is crucial for maintaining correctness. One restriction is that we cannot push partial aggregation down to a relation that is in the nullable side of an outer join, because the NULL-extended rows produced by the outer join would not be available when we perform the partial aggregation, while with a non-eager-aggregation plan these rows are available for the top-level aggregation. Pushing partial aggregation in this case may result in the rows being grouped differently than expected, or produce incorrect values from the aggregate functions. If we have generated a grouped relation for the topmost join relation, we finalize its paths at the end. The final paths will compete in the usual way with paths built from regular planning. The patch was originally proposed by Antonin Houska in 2017. This commit reworks various important aspects and rewrites most of the current code. However, the original patch and reviews were very useful.

Robert Haas	8c49a484e8	Assign each subquery a unique name prior to planning it. ... Previously, subqueries were given names only after they were planned, which makes it difficult to use information from a previous execution of the query to guide future planning. If, for example, you knew something about how you want "InitPlan 2" to be planned, you won't know whether the subquery you're currently planning will end up being "InitPlan 2" until after you've finished planning it, by which point it's too late to use the information that you had. To fix this, assign each subplan a unique name before we begin planning it. To improve consistency, use textual names for all subplans, rather than, as we did previously, a mix of numbers (such as "InitPlan 1") and names (such as "CTE foo"), and make sure that the same name is never assigned more than once. We adopt the somewhat arbitrary convention of using the type of sublink to set the plan name; for example, a query that previously had two expression sublinks shown as InitPlan 2 and InitPlan 1 will now end up named expr_1 and expr_2. Because names are assigned before rather than after planning, some of the regression test outputs show the numerical part of the name switching positions: what was previously SubPlan 2 was actually the first one encountered, but we finished planning it later. We assign names even to subqueries that aren't shown as such within the EXPLAIN output. These include subqueries that are a FROM clause item or a branch of a set operation, rather than something that will be turned into an InitPlan or SubPlan. The purpose of this is to make sure that, below the topmost query level, there's always a name for each subquery that is stable from one planning cycle to the next (assuming no changes to the query or the database schema).

Robert Haas	f2bae51dfd	Keep track of what RTIs a Result node is scanning. ... Result nodes now include an RTI set, which is only non-NULL when they have no subplan, and is taken from the relid set of the RelOptInfo that the Result is generating. ExplainPreScanNode now takes notice of these RTIs, which means that a few things get schema-qualified in the regression tests that previously did not. This makes the output more consistent between cases where some part of the plan tree is replaced by a Result node and those where this does not happen. Likewise, pg_overexplain's EXPLAIN (RANGE_TABLE) now displays the RTIs stored in a Result node just as it already does for other RTI-bearing node types. Result nodes also now include a result_reason, which tells us something about why the Result node was inserted. Using that information, EXPLAIN now emits, where relevant, a "Replaces" line describing the origin of a Result node. The purpose of these changes is to allow code that inspects a Plan tree to understand the origin of Result nodes that appear therein.

Tom Lane	83a5641945	Provide more-specific error details/hints for function lookup failures. ... Up to now we've contented ourselves with a one-size-fits-all error hint when we fail to find any match to a function or procedure call. That was mostly okay in the beginning, but it was never great, and since the introduction of named arguments it's really not adequate. We at least ought to distinguish "function name doesn't exist" from "function name exists, but not with those argument names". And the rules for named-argument matching are arcane enough that some more detail seems warranted if we match the argument names but the call still doesn't work. This patch creates a framework for dealing with these problems: FuncnameGetCandidates and related code will now pass back a bitmask of flags showing how far the match succeeded. This allows a considerable amount of granularity in the reports. The set-bits-in-a-bitmask approach means that when there are multiple candidate functions, the report will reflect the match(es) that got the furthest, which seems correct. Also, we can avoid mentioning "maybe add casts" unless failure to match argument types is actually the issue. Extend the same return-a-bitmask approach to OpernameGetCandidates. The issues around argument names don't apply to operator syntax, but it still seems worth distinguishing between "there is no operator of that name" and "we couldn't match the argument types". While at it, adjust these messages and related ones to more strictly separate "detail" from "hint", following our message style guidelines' distinction between those.

Fixing this causes some regression test output changes: wherever rte->alias previously had a value and is now NULL, rte->eref is now set to a generated name rather than to rte->alias; and the scheme used to generate eref names differs from what we were doing for aliases. The upshot is that instead of "*SELECT*" or "*SELECT* %d", EXPLAIN will now emit "unnamed_subquery" or "unnamed_subquery_%d".

Etsuro Fujita	62a1211d33	Disallow collecting transition tuples from child foreign tables. ... Commit 9e6104c66 disallowed transition tables on foreign tables, but failed to account for cases where a foreign table is a child table of a partitioned/inherited table on which transition tables exist, leading to incorrect transition tuples collected from such foreign tables for queries on the parent table triggering transition capture.

Tom Lane	74e121c8dc	Split up pgfdw_report_error so that we can mark it pg_noreturn. ... pgfdw_report_error has the same design fault as elog/ereport do, namely that it might or might not return depending on elevel. While those functions are too widely used to redesign, there are only about 30 call sites for pgfdw_report_error, and it's not exposed for extension use. So let's rethink it. Split it into pgfdw_report_error() which hard-wires ERROR elevel and is marked pg_noreturn, and pgfdw_report() which allows only elevels less than ERROR. (Thanks to Álvaro Herrera for suggesting this naming.) The motivation for doing this now is that in the wake of commit 80aa9848b, which removed a bunch of PG_TRYs from postgres_fdw, we're seeing more thorough flow analysis there from C compilers and Coverity. Marking pgfdw_report_error as noreturn where appropriate should help prevent false-positive complaints. We could alternatively have invented a macro wrapper similar to what we use for elog/ereport, but that code is sufficiently fragile that I didn't find it appetizing to make another copy.

We could escalate that arms race by making the variable global. But on the whole it seems better to revise the code so that it can free libpq's result properly.

Tom Lane	7d8f595779	Create infrastructure to reliably prevent leakage of PGresults. ... Commit 232d8caea fixed a case where postgres_fdw could lose track of a PGresult object, resulting in a process-lifespan memory leak. But I have little faith that there aren't other potential PGresult leakages, now or in future, in the backend modules that use libpq. Therefore, this patch proposes infrastructure that makes all PGresults returned from libpq act as though they are palloc'd in the CurrentMemoryContext (with the option to relocate them to another context later). This should greatly reduce the risk of careless leaks, and it also permits removal of a bunch of code that attempted to prevent such leaks via PG_TRY blocks. This patch adds infrastructure that wraps each PGresult in a "libpqsrv_PGresult" that provides a memory context reset callback to PQclear the PGresult. Code using this abstraction is inherently memory-safe to the same extent as we are accustomed to in most backend code. Furthermore, we add some macros that automatically redirect calls of the libpq functions concerned with PGresults to use this infrastructure, so that almost no source-code changes are needed to wheel this infrastructure into place in all the backend code that uses libpq. Perhaps in future we could create similar infrastructure for PGconn objects, but there seems less need for that. This patch just creates the infrastructure and makes relevant code use it, including reverting 232d8caea in favor of this mechanism. A good deal of follow-on simplification is possible now that we don't have to be so cautious about freeing PGresults, but I'll put that in a separate patch.

Fujii Masao	112faf1378	Log remote NOTICE, WARNING, and similar messages using ereport(). ... Previously, NOTICE, WARNING, and similar messages received from remote servers over replication, postgres_fdw, or dblink connections were printed directly to stderr on the local server (e.g., the subscriber).

Richard Guo	e2debb6438	Reduce "Var IS [NOT] NULL" quals during constant folding ... In commit b262ad440, we introduced an optimization that reduces an IS [NOT] NULL qual on a NOT NULL column to constant true or constant false, provided we can prove that the input expression of the NullTest is not nullable by any outer joins or grouping sets. This deduction happens quite late in the planner, during the distribution of quals to rels in query_planner. However, this approach has some drawbacks: we can't perform any further folding with the constant, and it turns out to be prone to bugs. Ideally, this deduction should happen during constant folding. However, the per-relation information about which columns are defined as NOT NULL is not available at that point. This information is currently collected from catalogs when building RelOptInfos for base or "other" relations. This patch moves the collection of NOT NULL attribute information for relations before pull_up_sublinks, storing it in a hash table keyed by relation OID. It then uses this information to perform the NullTest deduction for Vars during constant folding. This also makes it possible to leverage this information to pull up NOT IN subqueries. Note that this patch does not get rid of restriction_is_always_true and restriction_is_always_false. Removing them would prevent us from reducing some IS [NOT] NULL quals that we were previously able to reduce, because (a) the self-join elimination may introduce new IS NOT NULL quals after constant folding, and (b) if some outer joins are converted to inner joins, previously irreducible NullTest quals may become reducible.

Etsuro Fujita	e5a3c9d9b5	postgres_fdw: Inherit the local transaction's access/deferrable modes. ... Previously, postgres_fdw always 1) opened a remote transaction in READ WRITE mode even when the local transaction was READ ONLY, causing a READ ONLY transaction using it that references a foreign table mapped to a remote view executing a volatile function to write in the remote side, and 2) opened the remote transaction in NOT DEFERRABLE mode even when the local transaction was DEFERRABLE, causing a SERIALIZABLE READ ONLY DEFERRABLE transaction using it to abort due to a serialization failure in the remote side. To avoid these, modify postgres_fdw to open a remote transaction in the same access/deferrable modes as the local transaction. This commit also modifies it to open a remote subtransaction in the same access mode as the local subtransaction. Although these issues exist since the introduction of postgres_fdw, there have been no reports from the field. So it seems fine to just fix them in master only.

Tom Lane	232d8caeaa	Fix memory leakage in postgres_fdw's DirectModify code path. ... postgres_fdw tries to use PG_TRY blocks to ensure that it will eventually free the PGresult created by the remote modify command. However, it's fundamentally impossible for this scheme to work reliably when there's RETURNING data, because the query could fail in between invocations of postgres_fdw's DirectModify methods. There is at least one instance of exactly this situation in the regression tests, and the ensuing session-lifespan leak is visible under Valgrind. We can improve matters by using a memory context reset callback attached to the ExecutorState context. That ensures that the PGresult will be freed when the ExecutorState context is torn down, even if control never reaches postgresEndDirectModify. I have little faith that there aren't other potential PGresult leakages in the backend modules that use libpq. So I think it'd be a good idea to apply this concept universally by creating infrastructure that attaches a reset callback to every PGresult generated in the backend. However, that seems too invasive for v18 at this point, let alone the back branches. So for the moment, apply this narrow fix that just makes DirectModify safe. I have a patch in the queue for the more general idea, but it will have to wait for v19.

Richard Guo	773db22269	Suppress unnecessary explicit sorting for EPQ mergejoin path ... When building a ForeignPath for a joinrel, if there's a possibility that EvalPlanQual will be executed, we must identify a suitable path for EPQ checks. If the outer or inner path of the chosen path is a ForeignPath representing a pushed-down join, we replace it with its fdw_outerpath to ensure that the EPQ check path consists entirely of local joins. If the chosen path is a MergePath, and its outer or inner path is a ForeignPath that is not already well enough ordered, the MergePath will have non-NIL outersortkeys or innersortkeys indicating the desired ordering to be created by an explicit Sort node. If we then replace the outer or inner path with its corresponding fdw_outerpath, and that path is already sufficiently ordered, we end up in an inconsistent state: the MergePath has non-NIL outersortkeys or innersortkeys, and its input path is already properly ordered. This inconsistency can result in an Assert failure or the addition of a redundant Sort node. To fix, check if the new outer or inner path of a MergePath is already properly sorted, and set its outersortkeys or innersortkeys to NIL if so.

David Rowley	d69d45a5a9	Speedup child EquivalenceMember lookup in planner ... When planning queries to partitioned tables, we clone all EquivalenceMembers belonging to the partitioned table into em_is_child EquivalenceMembers for each non-pruned partition. For partitioned tables with large numbers of partitions, this meant the ec_members list could become large and code searching that list would become slow. Effectively, the more partitions which were present, the more searches needed to be performed for operations such as find_ec_member_matching_expr() during create_plan() and the more partitions present, the longer these searches would take, i.e., a quadratic slowdown. To fix this, here we adjust how we store EquivalenceMembers for em_is_child members. Instead of storing these directly in ec_members, these are now stored in a new array of Lists in the EquivalenceClass, which is indexed by the relid. When we want to find EquivalenceMembers belonging to a certain child relation, we can narrow the search to the array element for that relation. To make EquivalenceMember lookup easier and to reduce the amount of code change, this commit provides a pair of functions to allow iteration over the EquivalenceMembers of an EC which also handles finding the child members, if required. Callers that never need to look at child members can remain using the foreach loop over ec_members, which will now often be faster due to only parent-level members being stored there. The actual performance increases here are highly dependent on the number of partitions and the query being planned. Performance increases can be visible with as few as 8 partitions, but the speedup is marginal for such low numbers of partitions. The speedups become much more visible with a few dozen to hundreds of partitions. With some tested queries using 56 partitions, the planner was around 3x faster than before. For use cases with thousands of partitions, these are likely to become significantly faster. Some testing has shown planner speedups of 60x or more with 8192 partitions.
