but no database changes have been made since the last CommandCounterIncrement.
This should result in a significant improvement in the number of "commands"
that can typically be performed within a transaction before hitting the 2^32
CommandId size limit. In particular this buys back (and more) the possible
adverse consequences of my previous patch to fix plan caching behavior.
The implementation requires tracking whether the current CommandCounter
value has been "used" to mark any tuples. CommandCounter values stored into
snapshots are presumed not to be used for this purpose. This requires some
small executor changes, since the executor used to conflate the curcid of
the snapshot it was using with the command ID to mark output tuples with.
Separating these concepts allows some small simplifications in executor APIs.
Something for the TODO list: look into having CommandCounterIncrement not do
AcceptInvalidationMessages. It seems fairly bogus to be doing it there,
but exactly where to do it instead isn't clear, and I'm disinclined to mess
with asynchronous behavior during late beta.
plan before the effects of DDL executed in an immediately prior SPI operation
had been absorbed. Per report from Chris Wood.
This patch has an unpleasant side effect of causing the number of
CommandCounterIncrement()s done by a typical plpgsql function to
approximately double. Amelioration of the consequences of that
will be undertaken in a separate patch.
reloading of operator class information on each use of LookupOpclassInfo.
Had this been in place a year ago, it would have helped me find a bug
in the then-new 'operator family' code. Now that we have a build farm
member testing CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS on a regular basis, it seems worth
expending a little bit of effort here.
inappropriately generic-sounding names. This is more or less free since
we already forced initdb for the next beta, and it may prevent confusion or
name conflicts (particularly at the C-global-symbol level) down the road.
Per my proposal yesterday.
by short-circuiting schema search path and ambiguous-operator resolution
computations. Remarkably, this buys as much as 45% speedup of repetitive
simple queries that involve operators that are not an exact match to the
input datatypes. It should be marginally faster even for exact-match
cases, though I've not had success in proving an improvement in benchmark
tests. Per report from Guillame Smet and subsequent discussion.
to a UNION, CASE, or related construct are of the same domain type. The
main part of this routine smashes domains to their base types, which seems
necessary because the logic involves TypeCategory() and IsPreferredType(),
neither of which work usefully on domains. However, we can add a first
pass that just detects whether all the inputs are exactly the same type,
and if so accept that without question (so long as it's not UNKNOWN).
Per recent gripe from Dean Rasheed.
In passing, remove some tests for InvalidOid, which have clearly been dead
code for quite some time now, because getBaseType() would fail on that input.
Also, clarify the manual's not-very-precise description of the existing
algorithm's behavior.
subtlety that this function only returns a null terminator if it's
fed input that includes one; which, in the usage here, it's not.
This probably fixes bugs reported by Thomas Haegi.
clauselist_selectivity skip some analysis that's useless when there's only
one clause in the given list. Actually this can win even for not-so-simple
queries, because we also apply clauselist_selectivity to sublists such as the
quals matching an index; which are likely to have only a single entry even
when the total query is quite complicated.
if the locale has the thousands separator as "". This now matches the
to_char and psql numericlocale behavior. (Previously this data type was
basically useless for such setups.)
where rtoffset == 0. In that case there is no need to change Var nodes,
and since filling in unset opfuncid fields is always safe, scribbling on the
input tree to that extent is not objectionable. This brings the cost of this
operation back down to what it was in 8.2 for simple queries. Per
investigation of performance gripe from Guillaume Smet.
where the EquivalenceClass machinery is unable to deduce anything more from a
simple "var = const" qual clause. There are probably some more cases where
this could be done, but this seems to take care of most of the added overhead
for simple queries. Per gripe from Guillaume Smet.
In passing, fix a problem that was exposed by this change:
reconsider_outer_join_clause and friends were passing the wrong relids to
build_implied_join_equality, resulting in RestrictInfos with the wrong
required_relids. This mistake was masked in typical cases since the bogus
RestrictInfos would never have escaped from the EquivalenceClass machinery,
but I think there might be corner cases involving "broken" ECs where there
would have been a visible failure even without the new optimization. In any
case the code was certainly not operating as intended.
opfuncid of an OpExpr initially, considering that it has the information
at hand already. We'll still treat opfuncid as a cache rather than a
guaranteed-valid value, but this change saves one more syscache lookup
in the normal code path.
OpExpr and related nodes. We're going to have to set the opfuncid of
such nodes eventually (if we haven't already), so we might as well
exploit the opportunity to cache the function OID. Buys back some
of the extra planner overhead noted by Guillaume Smet, though I still
need to fool with equivclass.c to really respond to that.
happened to be right up against the end of memory, per report from
Matt Magoffin. While at it, avoid useless multiple copying of string
by not depending on xmlStrncatNew.
Allow tag and entity names that follow XML rules. Provide for hexadecimal
as well as decimal numeric entities. Adjust code names to coincide with
new descriptions.
GetMemoryChunkSpace, not just the palloc request size. This brings the
allocatedMemory counter close enough to reality (as measured by
MemoryContextStats printouts) that I think we can get rid of the arbitrary
factor-of-2 adjustment that was put into the code initially. Given the
sensitivity of GIN build to work memory size, not using as much of work
memory as we're allowed to seems a pretty bad idea.
it failed for splits of non-leaf pages because in such pages the first
data key on a page is suppressed, and so we can't just copy the first
key from the right page to reconstitute the left page's high key.
Problem found by Koichi Suzuki, patch by Heikki.
