Tom Lane	55dc86eca7	Fix pull_varnos' miscomputation of relids set for a PlaceHolderVar. ... Previously, pull_varnos() took the relids of a PlaceHolderVar as being equal to the relids in its contents, but that fails to account for the possibility that we have to postpone evaluation of the PHV due to outer joins. This could result in a malformed plan. The known cases end up triggering the "failed to assign all NestLoopParams to plan nodes" sanity check in createplan.c, but other symptoms may be possible. The right value to use is the join level we actually intend to evaluate the PHV at. We can get that from the ph_eval_at field of the associated PlaceHolderInfo. However, there are some places that call pull_varnos() before the PlaceHolderInfos have been created; in that case, fall back to the conservative assumption that the PHV will be evaluated at its syntactic level. (In principle this might result in missing some legal optimization, but I'm not aware of any cases where it's an issue in practice.) Things are also a bit ticklish for calls occurring during deconstruct_jointree(), but AFAICS the ph_eval_at fields should have reached their final values by the time we need them. The main problem in making this work is that pull_varnos() has no way to get at the PlaceHolderInfos. We can fix that easily, if a bit tediously, in HEAD by passing it the planner "root" pointer. In the back branches that'd cause an unacceptable API/ABI break for extensions, so leave the existing entry points alone and add new ones with the additional parameter. (If an old entry point is called and encounters a PHV, it'll fall back to using the syntactic level, again possibly missing some valid optimization.) Back-patch to v12. The computation is surely also wrong before that, but it appears that we cannot reach a bad plan thanks to join order restrictions imposed on the subquery that the PlaceHolderVar came from. The error only became reachable when commit 4be058fe9 allowed trivial subqueries to be collapsed out completely, eliminating their join order restrictions. Per report from Stephan Springl.

Tomas Vondra	b663a41363	Implement support for bulk inserts in postgres_fdw ... Extends the FDW API to allow batching inserts into foreign tables. That is usually much more efficient than inserting individual rows, due to high latency for each round-trip to the foreign server. It was possible to implement something similar in the regular FDW API, but it was inconvenient and there were issues with reporting the number of actually inserted rows etc. This extends the FDW API with two new functions: * GetForeignModifyBatchSize - allows the FDW picking optimal batch size * ExecForeignBatchInsert - inserts a batch of rows at once Currently, only INSERT queries support batching. Support for DELETE and UPDATE may be added in the future. This also implements batching for postgres_fdw. The batch size may be specified using "batch_size" option both at the server and table level. The initial patch version was written by me, but it was rewritten and improved in many ways by Takayuki Tsunakawa.

David Rowley	110d81728a	Fixup some appendStringInfo and appendPQExpBuffer calls ... A number of places were using appendStringInfo() when they could have been using appendStringInfoString() instead. While there's no functionality change there, it's just more efficient to use appendStringInfoString() when no formatting is required. Likewise for some appendStringInfoString() calls which were just appending a single char. We can just use appendStringInfoChar() for that.

Heikki Linnakangas	178f2d560d	Include result relation info in direct modify ForeignScan nodes. ... FDWs that can perform an UPDATE/DELETE remotely using the "direct modify" set of APIs need to access the ResultRelInfo of the target table. That's currently available in EState.es_result_relation_info, but the next commit will remove that field. This commit adds a new resultRelation field in ForeignScan, to store the target relation's RT index, and the corresponding ResultRelInfo in ForeignScanState. The FDW's PlanDirectModify callback is expected to set 'resultRelation' along with 'operation'. The core code doesn't need them for anything, they are for the convenience of FDW's Begin- and IterateDirectModify callbacks.

Tom Lane	3d351d916b	Redefine pg_class.reltuples to be -1 before the first VACUUM or ANALYZE. ... Historically, we've considered the state with relpages and reltuples both zero as indicating that we do not know the table's tuple density. This is problematic because it's impossible to distinguish "never yet vacuumed" from "vacuumed and seen to be empty". In particular, a user cannot use VACUUM or ANALYZE to override the planner's normal heuristic that an empty table should not be believed to be empty because it is probably about to get populated. That heuristic is a good safety measure, so I don't care to abandon it, but there should be a way to override it if the table is indeed intended to stay empty. Hence, represent the initial state of ignorance by setting reltuples to -1 (relpages is still set to zero), and apply the minimum-ten-pages heuristic only when reltuples is still -1. If the table is empty, VACUUM or ANALYZE (but not CREATE INDEX) will override that to reltuples = relpages = 0, and then we'll plan on that basis. This requires a bunch of fiddly little changes, but we can get rid of some ugly kluges that were formerly needed to maintain the old definition. One notable point is that FDWs' GetForeignRelSize methods will see baserel->tuples = -1 when no ANALYZE has been done on the foreign table. That seems like a net improvement, since those methods were formerly also in the dark about what baserel->tuples = 0 really meant. Still, it is an API change. I bumped catversion because code predating this change would get confused by seeing reltuples = -1. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/F02298E0-6EF4-49A1-BCB6-C484794D9ACC@thebuild.com	5 years ago
Tomas Vondra	ba3e76cc57	Consider Incremental Sort paths at additional places ... Commit d2d8a229bc introduced Incremental Sort, but it was considered only in create_ordered_paths() as an alternative to regular Sort. There are many other places that require sorted input and might benefit from considering Incremental Sort too. This patch modifies a number of those places, but not all. The concern is that just adding Incremental Sort to any place that already adds Sort may increase the number of paths considered, negatively affecting planning time, without any benefit. So we've taken a more conservative approach, based on analysis of which places do affect a set of queries that did seem practical. This means some less common queries may not benefit from Incremental Sort yet.

In postgres_fdw's "Relations" output, table names were always so qualified, but that was an implementation restriction: in the original coding, we didn't have access to the verbose flag at the time the string was generated.

Tom Lane	4526951d56	Make postgres_fdw's "Relations" output agree with the rest of EXPLAIN. ... The relation aliases shown in the "Relations" line for a foreign scan didn't always agree with those used in the rest of EXPLAIN's output. The regression test result changes appearing here provide examples. It's really impossible for postgres_fdw to duplicate EXPLAIN's alias assignment logic during postgresGetForeignRelSize(), because of the de-duplication that EXPLAIN does on a global basis --- and anyway, trying to duplicate that would be unmaintainable. Instead, just put numeric rangetable indexes into the string, and convert those to table names/aliases in postgresExplainForeignScan, which does have access to the results of ruleutils.c's alias assignment logic. Aside from being more reliable, this shifts some work from planning to EXPLAIN, which is a good tradeoff for performance. (I also changed from using StringInfo to using psprintf, which makes the code slightly simpler and reduces its memory consumption.) A kluge required by this solution is that we have to reverse-engineer the rtoffset applied by setrefs.c. If that logic ever fails (presumably because the member tables of a join got offset by different amounts), we'll need some more cooperation with setrefs.c to keep things straight. But for now, there's no need for that. Arguably this is a back-patchable bug fix, but since this is a mostly cosmetic issue and there have been no field complaints, I'll refrain for now.

Tom Lane	5ee190f8ec	Rationalize use of list_concat + list_copy combinations. ... In the wake of commit 1cff1b95a, the result of list_concat no longer shares the ListCells of the second input. Therefore, we can replace "list_concat(x, list_copy(y))" with just "list_concat(x, y)". To improve call sites that were list_copy'ing the first argument, or both arguments, invent "list_concat_copy()" which produces a new list sharing no ListCells with either input. (This is a bit faster than "list_concat(list_copy(x), y)" because it makes the result list the right size to start with.) In call sites that were not list_copy'ing the second argument, the new semantics mean that we are usually leaking the second List's storage, since typically there is no remaining pointer to it. We considered inventing another list_copy variant that would list_free the second input, but concluded that for most call sites it isn't worth worrying about, given the relative compactness of the new List representation. (Note that in cases where such leakage would happen, the old code already leaked the second List's header; so we're only discussing the size of the leak not whether there is one. I did adjust two or three places that had been troubling to free that header so that they manually free the whole second List.) Patch by me; thanks to David Rowley for review.

Etsuro Fujita	08d2d58a2a	postgres_fdw: Fix costing of pre-sorted foreign paths with local stats. ... Commit aa09cd242 modified estimate_path_cost_size() so that it reuses cached costs of a basic foreign path for a given foreign-base/join relation when costing pre-sorted foreign paths for that relation, but it incorrectly re-computed retrieved_rows, an estimated number of rows fetched from the remote side, which is needed for costing both the basic and pre-sorted foreign paths. To fix, handle retrieved_rows the same way as the cached costs: store in that relation's fpinfo the retrieved_rows estimate computed for costing the basic foreign path, and reuse it when costing the pre-sorted foreign paths. Also, reuse the rows/width estimates stored in that relation's fpinfo when costing the pre-sorted foreign paths, to make the code consistent. In commit ffab494a4, to extend the costing mentioned above to the foreign-grouping case, I made a change to add_foreign_grouping_paths() to store in a given foreign-grouped relation's RelOptInfo the rows estimate for that relation for reuse, but this patch makes that change unnecessary since we already store the row estimate in that relation's fpinfo, which this patch reuses when costing a foreign path for that relation with the sortClause ordering; remove that change. In passing, fix thinko in commit 7012b132d: in estimate_path_cost_size(), the width estimate for a given foreign-grouped relation to be stored in that relation's fpinfo was reset incorrectly when costing a basic foreign path for that relation with local stats.

Tom Lane	8cad5adb9c	Avoid postgres_fdw crash for a targetlist entry that's just a Param. ... foreign_grouping_ok() is willing to put fairly arbitrary expressions into the targetlist of a remote SELECT that's doing grouping or aggregation on the remote side, including expressions that have no foreign component to them at all. This is possibly a bit dubious from an efficiency standpoint; but it rises to the level of a crash-causing bug if the expression is just a Param or non-foreign Var. In that case, the expression will necessarily also appear in the fdw_exprs list of values we need to send to the remote server, and then setrefs.c's set_foreignscan_references will mistakenly replace the fdw_exprs entry with a Var referencing the targetlist result. The root cause of this problem is bad design in commit e7cb7ee14: it put logic into set_foreignscan_references that IMV is postgres_fdw-specific, and yet this bug shows that it isn't postgres_fdw-specific enough. The transformation being done on fdw_exprs assumes that fdw_exprs is to be evaluated with the fdw_scan_tlist as input, which is not how postgres_fdw uses it; yet it could be the right thing for some other FDW. (In the bigger picture, setrefs.c has no business assuming this for the other expression fields of a ForeignScan either.) The right fix therefore would be to expand the FDW API so that the FDW could inform setrefs.c how it intends to evaluate these various expressions. We can't change that in the back branches though, and we also can't just summarily change setrefs.c's behavior there, or we're likely to break external FDWs. As a stopgap, therefore, hack up postgres_fdw so that it won't attempt to send targetlist entries that look exactly like the fdw_exprs entries they'd produce. In most cases this actually produces a superior plan, IMO, with less data needing to be transmitted and returned; so we probably ought to think harder about whether we should ship tlist expressions at all when they don't contain any foreign Vars or Aggs. But that's an optimization not a bug fix so I left it for later. One case where this produces an inferior plan is where the expression in question is actually a GROUP BY expression: then the restriction prevents us from using remote grouping. It might be possible to work around that (since that would reduce to group-by-a-constant on the remote side); but it seems like a pretty unlikely corner case, so I'm not sure it's worth expending effort solely to improve that. In any case the right long-term answer is to fix the API as sketched above, and then revert this hack. Per bug #15781 from Sean Johnston. Back-patch to v10 where the problem was introduced.

This patch fixes the following issues introduced by that commit: * When a remote partition chosen to insert routed rows into was also an UPDATE subplan target rel that would be updated later, the UPDATE that used a direct modification plan modified those routed rows incorrectly because those routed rows were visible to the later UPDATE command. The right fix for this would be to have some way in postgres_fdw in which the later UPDATE command ignores those routed rows, but it seems hard to do so with the current infrastructure. For now throw an error in that case. * When a remote partition chosen to insert routed rows into was also an UPDATE subplan target rel, fmstate created for the UPDATE that used a non-direct modification plan was mistakenly overridden by another fmstate created for inserting those routed rows into the partition. This caused 1) server crash when the partition would be updated later, and 2) resource leak when the partition had been already updated. To avoid that, adjust the treatment of the fmstate for the inserting. As for #1, since we would also have the incorrectness issue as mentioned above, error out in that case as well. Update the docs to mention that postgres_fdw currently does not handle the case where a remote partition chosen to insert a routed row into is also an UPDATE subplan target rel that will be updated later.

Tom Lane	34ea1ab7fd	Split create_foreignscan_path() into three functions. ... Up to now postgres_fdw has been using create_foreignscan_path() to generate not only base-relation paths, but also paths for foreign joins and foreign upperrels. This is wrong, because create_foreignscan_path() calls get_baserel_parampathinfo() which will only do the right thing for baserels. It accidentally fails to fail for unparameterized paths, which are the only ones postgres_fdw (thought it) was handling, but we really need different APIs for the baserel and join cases. In HEAD, the best thing to do seems to be to split up the baserel, joinrel, and upperrel cases into three functions so that they can have different APIs. I haven't actually given create_foreign_join_path a different API in this commit: we should spend a bit of time thinking about just what we want to do there, since perhaps FDWs would want to do something different from the build-up-a-join-pairwise approach that get_joinrel_parampathinfo expects. In the meantime, since postgres_fdw isn't prepared to generate parameterized joins anyway, just give it a defense against trying to plan joins with lateral refs. In addition (and this is what triggered this whole mess) fix bug #15613 from Srinivasan S A, by teaching file_fdw and postgres_fdw that plain baserel foreign paths still have outer refs if the relation has lateral_relids. Add some assertions in relnode.c to catch future occurrences of the same error --- in particular, to catch other FDWs doing that, but also as backstop against core-code mistakes like the one fixed by commit bdd9a99aa. Bug #15613 also needs to be fixed in the back branches, but the appropriate fix will look quite a bit different there, since we don't want to assume that existing FDWs get the word right away.

Tom Lane	f09346a9c6	Refactor planner's header files. ... Create a new header optimizer/optimizer.h, which exposes just the planner functions that can be used "at arm's length", without need to access Paths or the other planner-internal data structures defined in nodes/relation.h. This is intended to provide the whole planner API seen by most of the rest of the system; although FDWs still need to use additional stuff, and more thought is also needed about just what selfuncs.c should rely on. The main point of doing this now is to limit the amount of new #include baggage that will be needed by "planner support functions", which I expect to introduce later, and which will be in relevant datatype modules rather than anywhere near the planner. This commit just moves relevant declarations into optimizer.h from other header files (a couple of which go away because everything got moved), and adjusts #include lists to match. There's further cleanup that could be done if we want to decide that some stuff being exposed by optimizer.h doesn't belong in the planner at all, but I'll leave that for another day.

Etsuro Fujita	fd1afdbafd	postgres_fdw: Account for tlist eval costs in estimate_path_cost_size(). ... Previously, estimate_path_cost_size() didn't account for tlist eval costs, except when costing a foreign-grouping path using local statistics, but such costs should be accounted for when costing that path using remote estimates, because some of the tlist expressions might be evaluated locally. Also, such costs should be accounted for in the case of a foreign-scan or foreign-join path, because the tlist might contain PlaceHolderVars, which postgres_fdw currently evaluates locally. This also fixes an oversight in my commit f8f6e44676. Like that commit, apply this to HEAD only to avoid destabilizing existing plan choices.

Andres Freund	4c850ecec6	Don't include heapam.h from others headers. ... heapam.h previously was included in a number of widely used headers (e.g. execnodes.h, indirectly in executor.h, ...). That's problematic on its own, as heapam.h contains a lot of low-level details that don't need to be exposed that widely, but becomes more problematic with the upcoming introduction of pluggable table storage - it seems inappropriate for heapam.h to be included that widely afterwards. heapam.h was largely only included in other headers to get the HeapScanDesc typedef (which was defined in heapam.h, even though HeapScanDescData is defined in relscan.h). The better solution here seems to be to just use the underlying struct (forward declared where necessary). Similar for BulkInsertState. Another problem was that LockTupleMode was used in executor.h - parts of the file tried to cope without heapam.h, but due to the fact that it indirectly included it, several subsequent violations of that goal were not not noticed. We could just reuse the approach of declaring parameters as int, but it seems nicer to move LockTupleMode to lockoptions.h - that's not a perfect location, but also doesn't seem bad. As a number of files relied on implicitly included heapam.h, a significant number of files grew an explicit include. It's quite probably that a few external projects will need to do the same.

Tom Lane	77d4d88afb	Repair bogus EPQ plans generated for postgres_fdw foreign joins. ... postgres_fdw's postgresGetForeignPlan() assumes without checking that the outer_plan it's given for a join relation must have a NestLoop, MergeJoin, or HashJoin node at the top. That's been wrong at least since commit 4bbf6edfb (which could cause insertion of a Sort node on top) and it seems like a pretty unsafe thing to Just Assume even without that. Through blind good fortune, this doesn't seem to have any worse consequences today than strange EXPLAIN output, but it's clearly trouble waiting to happen. To fix, test the node type explicitly before touching Join-specific fields, and avoid jamming the new tlist into a node type that can't do projection. Export a new support function from createplan.c to avoid building low-level knowledge about the latter into FDWs. Back-patch to 9.6 where the faulty coding was added. Note that the associated regression test cases don't show any changes before v11, apparently because the tests back-patched with 4bbf6edfb don't actually exercise the problem case before then (there's no top-level Sort in those plans).

Etsuro Fujita	f8f6e44676	postgres_fdw: Improve cost and size estimation for aggregate pushdown. ... In commit 7012b132d0, which added aggregate pushdown to postgres_fdw, we didn't account for the evaluation cost and the selectivity of HAVING quals attached to ForeignPaths performing aggregate pushdown, as core had never accounted for that for AggPaths and GroupPaths. And we didn't set these values of the locally-checked quals (ie, fpinfo's local_conds_cost and local_conds_sel), which were initialized to zeros, but since estimate_path_cost_size factors in these to estimate the result size and the evaluation cost of such a ForeignPath when the use_remote_estimate option is enabled, this caused it to produce underestimated results in that case. By commit 7b6c075471 core was changed so that it accounts for the evaluation cost and the selectivity of HAVING quals in aggregation paths, so change the postgres_fdw's aggregate pushdown code as well as such. This not only fixes the underestimation issue mentioned above, but improves the estimation using local statistics in that function when that option is disabled. This would be a bug fix rather than an improvement, but apply it to HEAD only to avoid destabilizing existing plan choices.

Andres Freund	578b229718	Remove WITH OIDS support, change oid catalog column visibility. ... Previously tables declared WITH OIDS, including a significant fraction of the catalog tables, stored the oid column not as a normal column, but as part of the tuple header. This special column was not shown by default, which was somewhat odd, as it's often (consider e.g. pg_class.oid) one of the more important parts of a row. Neither pg_dump nor COPY included the contents of the oid column by default. The fact that the oid column was not an ordinary column necessitated a significant amount of special case code to support oid columns. That already was painful for the existing, but upcoming work aiming to make table storage pluggable, would have required expanding and duplicating that "specialness" significantly. WITH OIDS has been deprecated since 2005 (commit ff02d0a05280e0). Remove it. Removing includes: - CREATE TABLE and ALTER TABLE syntax for declaring the table to be WITH OIDS has been removed (WITH (oids[ = true]) will error out) - pg_dump does not support dumping tables declared WITH OIDS and will issue a warning when dumping one (and ignore the oid column). - restoring an pg_dump archive with pg_restore will warn when restoring a table with oid contents (and ignore the oid column) - COPY will refuse to load binary dump that includes oids. - pg_upgrade will error out when encountering tables declared WITH OIDS, they have to be altered to remove the oid column first. - Functionality to access the oid of the last inserted row (like plpgsql's RESULT_OID, spi's SPI_lastoid, ...) has been removed. The syntax for declaring a table WITHOUT OIDS (or WITH (oids = false) for CREATE TABLE) is still supported. While that requires a bit of support code, it seems unnecessary to break applications / dumps that do not use oids, and are explicit about not using them. The biggest user of WITH OID columns was postgres' catalog. This commit changes all 'magic' oid columns to be columns that are normally declared and stored. To reduce unnecessary query breakage all the newly added columns are still named 'oid', even if a table's column naming scheme would indicate 'reloid' or such. This obviously requires adapting a lot code, mostly replacing oid access via HeapTupleGetOid() with access to the underlying Form_pg_*->oid column. The bootstrap process now assigns oids for all oid columns in genbki.pl that do not have an explicit value (starting at the largest oid previously used), only oids assigned later by oids will be above FirstBootstrapObjectId. As the oid column now is a normal column the special bootstrap syntax for oids has been removed. Oids are not automatically assigned during insertion anymore, all backend code explicitly assigns oids with GetNewOidWithIndex(). For the rare case that insertions into the catalog via SQL are called for the new pg_nextoid() function can be used (which only works on catalog tables). The fact that oid columns on system tables are now normal columns means that they will be included in the set of columns expanded by * (i.e. SELECT * FROM pg_class will now include the table's oid, previously it did not). It'd not technically be hard to hide oid column by default, but that'd mean confusing behavior would either have to be carried forward forever, or it'd cause breakage down the line. While it's not unlikely that further adjustments are needed, the scope/invasiveness of the patch makes it worthwhile to get merge this now. It's painful to maintain externally, too complicated to commit after the code code freeze, and a dependency of a number of other patches. Catversion bump, for obvious reasons.

Andres Freund	763f2edd92	Rejigger materializing and fetching a HeapTuple from a slot. ... Previously materializing a slot always returned a HeapTuple. As current work aims to reduce the reliance on HeapTuples (so other storage systems can work efficiently), that needs to change. Thus split the tasks of materializing a slot (i.e. making it independent from the underlying storage / other memory contexts) from fetching a HeapTuple from the slot. For brevity, allow to fetch a HeapTuple from a slot and materializing the slot at the same time, controlled by a parameter. For now some callers of ExecFetchSlotHeapTuple, with materialize = true, expect that changes to the heap tuple will be reflected in the underlying slot. Those places will be adapted in due course, so while not pretty, that's OK for now. Also rename ExecFetchSlotTuple to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum and ExecFetchSlotTupleDatum to ExecFetchSlotHeapTupleDatum, as it's likely that future storage methods will need similar methods. There already is ExecFetchSlotMinimalTuple, so the new names make the naming scheme more coherent.

Tom Lane	52ed730d51	Remove some unnecessary fields from Plan trees. ... In the wake of commit f2343653f, we no longer need some fields that were used before to control executor lock acquisitions: * PlannedStmt.nonleafResultRelations can go away entirely. * partitioned_rels can go away from Append, MergeAppend, and ModifyTable. However, ModifyTable still needs to know the RT index of the partition root table if any, which was formerly kept in the first entry of that list. Add a new field "rootRelation" to remember that. rootRelation is partly redundant with nominalRelation, in that if it's set it will have the same value as nominalRelation. However, the latter field has a different purpose so it seems best to keep them distinct.

Tom Lane	9ddef36278	Centralize executor's opening/closing of Relations for rangetable entries. ... Create an array estate->es_relations[] paralleling the es_range_table, and store references to Relations (relcache entries) there, so that any given RT entry is opened and closed just once per executor run. Scan nodes typically still call ExecOpenScanRelation, but ExecCloseScanRelation is no more; relation closing is now done centrally in ExecEndPlan. This is slightly more complex than one would expect because of the interactions with relcache references held in ResultRelInfo nodes. The general convention is now that ResultRelInfo->ri_RelationDesc does not represent a separate relcache reference and so does not need to be explicitly closed; but there is an exception for ResultRelInfos in the es_trig_target_relations list, which are manufactured by ExecGetTriggerResultRel and have to be cleaned up by ExecCleanUpTriggerState. (That much was true all along, but these ResultRelInfos are now more different from others than they used to be.) To allow the partition pruning logic to make use of es_relations[] rather than having its own relcache references, adjust PartitionedRelPruneInfo to store an RT index rather than a relation OID.
