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.

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	4da597edf1	Make TupleTableSlots extensible, finish split of existing slot type. ... This commit completes the work prepared in 1a0586de36, splitting the old TupleTableSlot implementation (which could store buffer, heap, minimal and virtual slots) into four different slot types. As described in the aforementioned commit, this is done with the goal of making tuple table slots extensible, to allow for pluggable table access methods. To achieve runtime extensibility for TupleTableSlots, operations on slots that can differ between types of slots are performed using the TupleTableSlotOps struct provided at slot creation time. That includes information from the size of TupleTableSlot struct to be allocated, initialization, deforming etc. See the struct's definition for more detailed information about callbacks TupleTableSlotOps. I decided to rename TTSOpsBufferTuple to TTSOpsBufferHeapTuple and ExecCopySlotTuple to ExecCopySlotHeapTuple, as that seems more consistent with other naming introduced in recent patches. There's plenty optimization potential in the slot implementation, but according to benchmarking the state after this commit has similar performance characteristics to before this set of changes, which seems sufficient. There's a few changes in execReplication.c that currently need to poke through the slot abstraction, that'll be repaired once the pluggable storage patchset provides the necessary infrastructure.

Alvaro Herrera	3f2393edef	Redesign initialization of partition routing structures ... This speeds up write operations (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, COPY, as well as the future MERGE) on partitioned tables. This changes the setup for tuple routing so that it does far less work during the initial setup and pushes more work out to when partitions receive tuples. PartitionDispatchData structs for sub-partitioned tables are only created when a tuple gets routed through it. The possibly large arrays in the PartitionTupleRouting struct have largely been removed. The partitions[] array remains but now never contains any NULL gaps. Previously the NULLs had to be skipped during ExecCleanupTupleRouting(), which could add a large overhead to the cleanup when the number of partitions was large. The partitions[] array is allocated small to start with and only enlarged when we route tuples to enough partitions that it runs out of space. This allows us to keep simple single-row partition INSERTs running quickly. Redesign The arrays in PartitionTupleRouting which stored the tuple translation maps have now been removed. These have been moved out into a PartitionRoutingInfo struct which is an additional field in ResultRelInfo. The find_all_inheritors() call still remains by far the slowest part of ExecSetupPartitionTupleRouting(). This commit just removes the other slow parts. In passing also rename the tuple translation maps from being ParentToChild and ChildToParent to being RootToPartition and PartitionToRoot. The old names mislead you into thinking that a partition of some sub-partitioned table would translate to the rowtype of the sub-partitioned table rather than the root partitioned table.

But the information is useful for assertions in the non-JIT case too (for assertions), therefore it makes sense to move it. This will, in a followup commit, allow to treat different slot types differently. E.g. for virtual slots there's no need to generate a JIT function to deform the slot.

Andres Freund	1a0586de36	Introduce notion of different types of slots (without implementing them). ... Upcoming work intends to allow pluggable ways to introduce new ways of storing table data. Accessing those table access methods from the executor requires TupleTableSlots to be carry tuples in the native format of such storage methods; otherwise there'll be a significant conversion overhead. Different access methods will require different data to store tuples efficiently (just like virtual, minimal, heap already require fields in TupleTableSlot). To allow that without requiring additional pointer indirections, we want to have different structs (embedding TupleTableSlot) for different types of slots. Thus different types of slots are needed, which requires adapting creators of slots. The slot that most efficiently can represent a type of tuple in an executor node will often depend on the type of slot a child node uses. Therefore we need to track the type of slot is returned by nodes, so parent slots can create slots based on that. Relatedly, JIT compilation of tuple deforming needs to know which type of slot a certain expression refers to, so it can create an appropriate deforming function for the type of tuple in the slot. But not all nodes will only return one type of slot, e.g. an append node will potentially return different types of slots for each of its subplans. Therefore add function that allows to query the type of a node's result slot, and whether it'll always be the same type (whether it's fixed). This can be queried using ExecGetResultSlotOps(). The scan, result, inner, outer type of slots are automatically inferred from ExecInitScanTupleSlot(), ExecInitResultSlot(), left/right subtrees respectively. If that's not correct for a node, that can be overwritten using new fields in PlanState. This commit does not introduce the actually abstracted implementation of different kind of TupleTableSlots, that will be left for a followup commit. The different types of slots introduced will, for now, still use the same backing implementation. While this already partially invalidates the big comment in tuptable.h, it seems to make more sense to update it later, when the different TupleTableSlot implementations actually exist.

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.

Andres Freund	1ef6bd2954	Don't require return slots for nodes without projection. ... In a lot of nodes the return slot is not required. That can either be because the node doesn't do any projection (say an Append node), or because the node does perform projections but the projection is optimized away because the projection would yield an identical row. Slots aren't that small, especially for wide rows, so it's worthwhile to avoid creating them. It's not possible to just skip creating the slot - it's currently used to determine the tuple descriptor returned by ExecGetResultType(). So separate the determination of the result type from the slot creation. The work previously done internally ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() can now also be done separately with ExecInitResultTypeTL() and ExecInitResultSlot(). That way nodes that aren't guaranteed to need a result slot, can use ExecInitResultTypeTL() to determine the result type of the node, and ExecAssignScanProjectionInfo() (via ExecConditionalAssignProjectionInfo()) determines that a result slot is needed, it is created with ExecInitResultSlot(). Besides the advantage of avoiding to create slots that then are unused, this is necessary preparation for later patches around tuple table slot abstraction. In particular separating the return descriptor and slot is a prerequisite to allow JITing of tuple deforming with knowledge of the underlying tuple format, and to avoid unnecessarily creating JITed tuple deforming for virtual slots. This commit removes a redundant argument from ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL(). While this commit touches a lot of the relevant lines anyway, it'd normally still not worthwhile to cause breakage, except that aforementioned later commits will touch *all* ExecInitResultTupleSlotTL() callers anyway (but fits worse thematically).

Andres Freund	c5257345ef	Move TupleTableSlots boolean member into one flag variable. ... There's several reasons for this change: 1) It reduces the total size of TupleTableSlot / reduces alignment padding, making the commonly accessed members fit into a single cacheline (but we currently do not force proper alignment, so that's not yet guaranteed to be helpful) 2) Combining the booleans into a flag allows to combine read/writes from memory. 3) With the upcoming slot abstraction changes, it allows to have core and extended flags, in a memory efficient way.

Instead of doing a lot of list_nth() accesses to es_range_table, create a flattened pointer array during executor startup and index into that to get at individual RangeTblEntrys.

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.

Andres Freund	cc2905e963	Use slots more widely in tuple mapping code and make naming more consistent. ... It's inefficient to use a single slot for mapping between tuple descriptors for multiple tuples, as previously done when using ConvertPartitionTupleSlot(), as that means the slot's tuple descriptors change for every tuple. Previously we also, via ConvertPartitionTupleSlot(), built new tuples after the mapping even in cases where we, immediately afterwards, access individual columns again. Refactor the code so one slot, on demand, is used for each partition. That avoids having to change the descriptor (and allows to use the more efficient "fixed" tuple slots). Then use slot->slot mapping, to avoid unnecessarily forming a tuple. As the naming between the tuple and slot mapping functions wasn't consistent, rename them to execute_attr_map_{tuple,slot}. It's likely that we'll also rename convert_tuples_by_* to denote that these functions "only" build a map, but that's left for later.

Andres Freund	29c94e03c7	Split ExecStoreTuple into ExecStoreHeapTuple and ExecStoreBufferHeapTuple. ... Upcoming changes introduce further types of tuple table slots, in preparation of making table storage pluggable. New storage methods will have different representation of tuples, therefore the slot accessor should refer explicitly to heap tuples. Instead of just renaming the functions, split it into one function that accepts heap tuples not residing in buffers, and one accepting ones in buffers. Previously one function was used for both, but that was a bit awkward already, and splitting will allow us to represent slot types for tuples in buffers and normal memory separately. This is split out from the patch introducing abstract slots, as this largely consists out of mechanical changes.

Tom Lane	1f4a920b73	Fix failure with initplans used conditionally during EvalPlanQual rechecks. ... The EvalPlanQual machinery assumes that any initplans (that is, uncorrelated sub-selects) used during an EPQ recheck would have already been evaluated during the main query; this is implicit in the fact that execPlan pointers are not copied into the EPQ estate's es_param_exec_vals. But it's possible for that assumption to fail, if the initplan is only reached conditionally. For example, a sub-select inside a CASE expression could be reached during a recheck when it had not been previously, if the CASE test depends on a column that was just updated. This bug is old, appearing to date back to my rewrite of EvalPlanQual in commit 9f2ee8f28, but was not detected until Kyle Samson reported a case. To fix, force all not-yet-evaluated initplans used within the EPQ plan subtree to be evaluated at the start of the recheck, before entering the EPQ environment. This could be inefficient, if such an initplan is expensive and goes unused again during the recheck --- but that's piling one layer of improbability atop another. It doesn't seem worth adding more complexity to prevent that, at least not in the back branches. It was convenient to use the new-in-v11 ExecEvalParamExecParams function to implement this, but I didn't like either its name or the specifics of its API, so revise that. Back-patch all the way.

Tom Lane	361844fe56	Save/restore SPI's global variables in SPI_connect() and SPI_finish(). ... This patch removes two sources of interference between nominally independent functions when one SPI-using function calls another, perhaps without knowing that it does so. Chapman Flack pointed out that xml.c's query_to_xml_internal() expects SPI_tuptable and SPI_processed to stay valid across datatype output function calls; but it's possible that such a call could involve re-entrant use of SPI. It seems likely that there are similar hazards elsewhere, if not in the core code then in third-party SPI users. Previously SPI_finish() reset SPI's API globals to zeroes/nulls, which would typically make for a crash in such a situation. Restoring them to the values they had at SPI_connect() seems like a considerably more useful behavior, and it still meets the design goal of not leaving any dangling pointers to tuple tables of the function being exited. Also, cause SPI_connect() to reset these variables to zeroes/nulls after saving them. This prevents interference in the opposite direction: it's possible that a SPI-using function that's only ever been tested standalone contains assumptions that these variables start out as zeroes. That was the case as long as you were the outermost SPI user, but not so much for an inner user. Now it's consistent. Report and fix suggestion by Chapman Flack, actual patch by me.

Peter Eisentraut	0d5f05cde0	Allow multi-inserts during COPY into a partitioned table ... CopyFrom allows multi-inserts to be used for non-partitioned tables, but this was disabled for partitioned tables. The reason for this appeared to be that the tuple may not belong to the same partition as the previous tuple did. Not allowing multi-inserts here greatly slowed down imports into partitioned tables. These could take twice as long as a copy to an equivalent non-partitioned table. It seems wise to do something about this, so this change allows the multi-inserts by flushing the so-far inserted tuples to the partition when the next tuple does not belong to the same partition, or when the buffer fills. This improves performance when the next tuple in the stream commonly belongs to the same partition as the previous tuple. In cases where the target partition changes on every tuple, using multi-inserts slightly slows the performance. To get around this we track the average size of the batches that have been inserted and adaptively enable or disable multi-inserts based on the size of the batch. Some testing was done and the regression only seems to exist when the average size of the insert batch is close to 1, so let's just enable multi-inserts when the average size is at least 1.3. More performance testing might reveal a better number for, this, but since the slowdown was only 1-2% it does not seem critical enough to spend too much time calculating it. In any case it may depend on other factors rather than just the size of the batch. Allowing multi-inserts for partitions required a bit of work around the per-tuple memory contexts as we must flush the tuples when the next tuple does not belong the same partition. In which case there is no good time to reset the per-tuple context, as we've already built the new tuple by this time. In order to work around this we maintain two per-tuple contexts and just switch between them every time the partition changes and reset the old one. This does mean that the first of each batch of tuples is not allocated in the same memory context as the others, but that does not matter since we only reset the context once the previous batch has been inserted.

Tom Lane	e23bae82cf	Fix up run-time partition pruning's use of relcache's partition data. ... The previous coding saved pointers into the partitioned table's relcache entry, but then closed the relcache entry, causing those pointers to nominally become dangling. Actual trouble would be seen in the field only if a relcache flush occurred mid-query, but that's hardly out of the question. While we could fix this by copying all the data in question at query start, it seems better to just hold the relcache entry open for the whole query. While at it, improve the handling of support-function lookups: do that once per query not once per pruning test. There's still something to be desired here, in that we fail to exploit the possibility of caching data across queries in the fn_extra fields of the relcache's FmgrInfo structs, which could happen if we just used those structs in-place rather than copying them. However, combining that with the possibility of per-query lookups of cross-type comparison functions seems to require changes in the APIs of a lot of the pruning support functions, so it's too invasive to consider as part of this patch. A win would ensue only for complex partition key data types (e.g. arrays), so it may not be worth the trouble.

Alvaro Herrera	5b0c7e2f75	Don't needlessly check the partition contraint twice ... Starting with commit f0e44751d7, ExecConstraints was in charge of running the partition constraint; commit 19c47e7c82 modified that so that caller could request to skip that checking depending on some conditions, but that commit and 15ce775faa together introduced a small bug there which caused ExecInsert to request skipping the constraint check but have this not be honored -- in effect doing the check twice. This could have been fixed in a very small patch, but on further analysis of the involved function and its callsites, it turns out to be simpler to give the responsibility of checking the partition constraint fully to the caller, and return ExecConstraints to its original (pre-partitioning) shape where it only checked tuple descriptor-related constraints. Each caller must do partition constraint checking on its own schedule, which is more convenient after commit 2f17844104 anyway.

Alvaro Herrera	499be013de	Support partition pruning at execution time ... Existing partition pruning is only able to work at plan time, for query quals that appear in the parsed query. This is good but limiting, as there can be parameters that appear later that can be usefully used to further prune partitions. This commit adds support for pruning subnodes of Append which cannot possibly contain any matching tuples, during execution, by evaluating Params to determine the minimum set of subnodes that can possibly match. We support more than just simple Params in WHERE clauses. Support additionally includes: 1. Parameterized Nested Loop Joins: The parameter from the outer side of the join can be used to determine the minimum set of inner side partitions to scan. 2. Initplans: Once an initplan has been executed we can then determine which partitions match the value from the initplan. Partition pruning is performed in two ways. When Params external to the plan are found to match the partition key we attempt to prune away unneeded Append subplans during the initialization of the executor. This allows us to bypass the initialization of non-matching subplans meaning they won't appear in the EXPLAIN or EXPLAIN ANALYZE output. For parameters whose value is only known during the actual execution then the pruning of these subplans must wait. Subplans which are eliminated during this stage of pruning are still visible in the EXPLAIN output. In order to determine if pruning has actually taken place, the EXPLAIN ANALYZE must be viewed. If a certain Append subplan was never executed due to the elimination of the partition then the execution timing area will state "(never executed)". Whereas, if, for example in the case of parameterized nested loops, the number of loops stated in the EXPLAIN ANALYZE output for certain subplans may appear lower than others due to the subplan having been scanned fewer times. This is due to the list of matching subnodes having to be evaluated whenever a parameter which was found to match the partition key changes. This commit required some additional infrastructure that permits the building of a data structure which is able to perform the translation of the matching partition IDs, as returned by get_matching_partitions, into the list index of a subpaths list, as exist in node types such as Append, MergeAppend and ModifyTable. This allows us to translate a list of clauses into a Bitmapset of all the subpath indexes which must be included to satisfy the clause list.

Andres Freund	f16241bef7	Raise error when affecting tuple moved into different partition. ... When an update moves a row between partitions (supported since 2f17844104), our normal logic for following update chains in READ COMMITTED mode doesn't work anymore. Cross partition updates are modeled as an delete from the old and insert into the new partition. No ctid chain exists across partitions, and there's no convenient space to introduce that link. Not throwing an error in a partitioned context when one would have been thrown without partitioning is obviously problematic. This commit introduces infrastructure to detect when a tuple has been moved, not just plainly deleted. That allows to throw an error when encountering a deletion that's actually a move, while attempting to following a ctid chain. The row deleted as part of a cross partition update is marked by pointing it's t_ctid to an invalid block, instead of self as a normal update would. That was deemed to be the least invasive and most future proof way to represent the knowledge, given how few infomask bits are there to be recycled (there's also some locking issues with using infomask bits). External code following ctid chains should be updated to check for moved tuples. The most likely consequence of not doing so is a missed error.

Simon Riggs	d204ef6377	MERGE SQL Command following SQL:2016 ... 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.
