2025-03-10CREATE INDEX: do update index stats if autovacuum=off.Tom Lane
This fixes a thinko from commit d611f8b15. The intent was to prevent updating the stats of the pre-existing heap if autovacuum is off, but it also disabled updating the stats of the just-created index. There is AFAICS no good reason to do the latter, since there could not be any pre-existing stats to refrain from overwriting, and the zeroed stats that are there to begin with are very unlikely to be useful. Moreover, the change broke our cross-version upgrade tests again. Author: Tom Lane <[email protected]> Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/[email protected]
2025-03-07CREATE INDEX: don't update table stats if autovacuum=off.Jeff Davis
We previously fixed this for binary upgrade in 71b66171d0, but a similar problem remained when dumping statistics without data. Fix by not opportunistically updating table stats during CREATE INDEX when autovacuum is disabled. For stats to be stable at all, the server needs to be aware that it should not take every opportunity to update stats. Per discussion, autovacuum=off is a signal that the user expects stats to be stable; though if necessary, we could create a more specific mode in the future.

2025-03-03Add relallfrozen to pg_classMelanie Plageman
Add relallfrozen, an estimate of the number of pages marked all-frozen in the visibility map. pg_class already has relallvisible, an estimate of the number of pages in the relation marked all-visible in the visibility map. This is used primarily for planning. relallfrozen, together with relallvisible, is useful for estimating the outstanding number of all-visible but not all-frozen pages in the relation for the purposes of scheduling manual VACUUMs and tuning vacuum freeze parameters. A future commit will use relallfrozen to trigger more frequent vacuums on insert-focused workloads with significant volume of frozen data.

2025-02-21Drop opcintype from index AM strategy translation APIPeter Eisentraut
The type argument wasn't actually really necessary. It was a remnant of converting the API of the gist strategy translation from using opclass to using opfamily+opcintype (commits c09e5a6a016, 622f678c102). For looking up the gist translation function, we used the convention "amproclefttype = amprocrighttype = opclass's opcintype" (see pg_amproc.h). But each operator family should only have one translation function, and getting the right type for the lookup is sometimes cumbersome and fragile, so this is all unnecessarily complicated. To simplify this, change the gist stategy support procedure to take "any", "any" as argument. (This is arbitrary but seems intuitive. The alternative of using InvalidOid as argument(s) upsets various DDL commands, so it's not practical.) Then we don't need opcintype for the lookup, and we can remove it from all the API layers introduced by commit c09e5a6a016. This also adds some more documentation about the correct signature of the gist support function and adds more checks in gistvalidate(). This was previously underspecified. (It relied implicitly on convention mentioned above.) Discussion: https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/[email protected]
2025-02-07Allow non-btree speculative insertion indexesPeter Eisentraut
Previously, only btrees were supported as the arbiter index for speculative insertion because there was no way to get the equality strategy number for other index methods. We have this now (commit c09e5a6a016), so we can support this. At the moment, only btree supports unique indexes, so this does not change anything in practice, but it would allow another index method that has amcanunique to be supported.

This adds support for the NOT ENFORCED/ENFORCED flag for constraints, with support for check constraints. The plan is to eventually support this for foreign key constraints, where it is typically more useful. Note that CHECK constraints do not currently support ALTER operations, so changing the enforceability of an existing constraint isn't possible without dropping and recreating it. This could be added later.

2024-12-20Introduce CompactAttribute array in TupleDesc, take 2David Rowley
The new compact_attrs array stores a few select fields from FormData_pg_attribute in a more compact way, using only 16 bytes per column instead of the 104 bytes that FormData_pg_attribute uses. Using CompactAttribute allows performance-critical operations such as tuple deformation to be performed without looking at the FormData_pg_attribute element in TupleDesc which means fewer cacheline accesses. For some workloads, tuple deformation can be the most CPU intensive part of processing the query. Some testing with 16 columns on a table where the first column is variable length showed around a 10% increase in transactions per second for an OLAP type query performing aggregation on the 16th column. However, in certain cases, the increases were much higher, up to ~25% on one AMD Zen4 machine. This also makes pg_attribute.attcacheoff redundant. A follow-on commit will remove it, thus shrinking the FormData_pg_attribute struct by 4 bytes.

The inplace update survives ROLLBACK. The inval didn't, so another backend's DDL could then update the row without incorporating the inplace update.

2024-10-10Unbreak overflow test for attinhcount/coninhcountÁlvaro Herrera
Commit 90189eefc1e1 narrowed pg_attribute.attinhcount and pg_constraint.coninhcount from 32 to 16 bits, but kept other related structs with 32-bit wide fields: ColumnDef and CookedConstraint contain an int 'inhcount' field which is itself checked for overflow on increments, but there's no check that the values aren't above INT16_MAX before assigning to the catalog columns. This means that a creative user can get a inconsistent table definition and override some protections. Fix it by changing those other structs to also use int16. Also, modernize style by using pg_add_s16_overflow for overflow testing instead of checking for negative values. We also have Constraint.inhcount, which is here removed completely. This was added by commit b0e96f311985 and not removed by its revert at 6f8bb7c1e961. It is not needed by the upcoming not-null constraints patch. This is mostly academic, so we agreed not to backpatch to avoid ABI problems. Bump catversion because of the changes to parse nodes.

2024-09-27Fix incorrect memory access in VACUUM FULL with invalid toast indexesMichael Paquier
An invalid toast index is skipped in reindex_relation(). These would be remnants of a failed REINDEX CONCURRENTLY and they should never been rebuilt as there can only be one valid toast index at a time. REINDEX_REL_SUPPRESS_INDEX_USE, used by CLUSTER and VACUUM FULL, needs to maintain a list of the indexes being processed. The list of indexes is retrieved from the relation cache, and includes invalid indexes. The code has missed that invalid toast indexes are ignored in reindex_relation() as this leads to a hard failure in reindex_index(), and they were left in the reindex pending list, making the list inconsistent when rechecked. The incorrect memory access was happening when scanning pg_class for the refresh of pg_database.datfrozenxid, when doing a scan of pg_class. This issue exists since REINDEX CONCURRENTLY exists, where invalid toast indexes can exist, so backpatch all the way down.

2024-09-26Ensure we have a snapshot when updating pg_index entries.Nathan Bossart
Creating, reindexing, and dropping an index concurrently could entail accessing pg_index's TOAST table, which was recently added in commit b52c4fc3c0. These code paths start and commit their own transactions, but they do not always set an active snapshot. This rightfully leads to assertion failures and ERRORs when trying to access pg_index's TOAST table, such as the following: ERROR: cannot fetch toast data without an active snapshot To fix, push an active snapshot just before each section of code that might require accessing pg_index's TOAST table, and pop it shortly afterwards.

2024-09-24Fix data loss at inplace update after heap_update().Noah Misch
As previously-added tests demonstrated, heap_inplace_update() could instead update an unrelated tuple of the same catalog. It could lose the update. Losing relhasindex=t was a source of index corruption. Inplace-updating commands like VACUUM will now wait for heap_update() commands like GRANT TABLE and GRANT DATABASE. That isn't ideal, but a long-running GRANT already hurts VACUUM progress more just by keeping an XID running. The VACUUM will behave like a DELETE or UPDATE waiting for the uncommitted change. For implementation details, start at the systable_inplace_update_begin() header comment and README.tuplock. Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions).

2024-09-17Add temporal PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraintsPeter Eisentraut
Add WITHOUT OVERLAPS clause to PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE constraints. These are backed by GiST indexes instead of B-tree indexes, since they are essentially exclusion constraints with = for the scalar parts of the key and && for the temporal part. (previously committed as 46a0cd4cefb, reverted by 46a0cd4cefb; the new part is this:) Because 'empty' && 'empty' is false, the temporal PK/UQ constraint allowed duplicates, which is confusing to users and breaks internal expectations. For instance, when GROUP BY checks functional dependencies on the PK, it allows selecting other columns from the table, but in the presence of duplicate keys you could get the value from any of their rows. So we need to forbid empties. This all means that at the moment we can only support ranges and multiranges for temporal PK/UQs, unlike the original patch (above). Documentation and tests for this are added. But this could conceivably be extended by introducing some more general support for the notion of "empty" for other types. Author: Paul A.

2024-08-20Log the conflicts while applying changes in logical replication.Amit Kapila
This patch provides the additional logging information in the following conflict scenarios while applying changes: insert_exists: Inserting a row that violates a NOT DEFERRABLE unique constraint. update_differ: Updating a row that was previously modified by another origin. update_exists: The updated row value violates a NOT DEFERRABLE unique constraint. update_missing: The tuple to be updated is missing. delete_differ: Deleting a row that was previously modified by another origin. delete_missing: The tuple to be deleted is missing. For insert_exists and update_exists conflicts, the log can include the origin and commit timestamp details of the conflicting key with track_commit_timestamp enabled. update_differ and delete_differ conflicts can only be detected when track_commit_timestamp is enabled on the subscriber. We do not offer additional logging for exclusion constraint violations because these constraints can specify rules that are more complex than simple equality checks. Resolving such conflicts won't be straightforward. This area can be further enhanced if required.

2024-06-28Lock before setting relhassubclass on RELKIND_PARTITIONED_INDEX.Noah Misch
Commit 5b562644fec696977df4a82790064e8287927891 added a comment that SetRelationHasSubclass() callers must hold this lock. When commit 17f206fbc824d2b4b14480199ca9ff7dea417eda extended use of this column to partitioned indexes, it didn't take the lock. As the latter commit message mentioned, we currently never reset a partitioned index to relhassubclass=f. That largely avoids harm from the lock omission. The cause for fixing this now is to unblock introducing a rule about locks required to heap_update() a pg_class row. This might cause more deadlocks. It gives minor user-visible benefits: - If an ALTER INDEX SET TABLESPACE runs concurrently with ALTER TABLE ATTACH PARTITION or CREATE PARTITION OF, one transaction blocks instead of failing with "tuple concurrently updated". (Many cases of DDL concurrency still fail that way.) - Match ALTER INDEX ATTACH PARTITION in choosing to lock the index. While not user-visible today, we'll need this if we ever make something set the flag to false for a partitioned index, like ANALYZE does today for tables. Back-patch to v12 (all supported versions), the plan for the commit relying on the new rule. In back branches, add LockOrStrongerHeldByMe() instead of adding a LockHeldByMe() parameter.

The commit does two additional improvements. The aminsertcleanup() signature is modified to have the index as the first argument, to make it more like the other AM callbacks.

2024-03-17Generalize handling of nullable pg_attribute columns in DDLPeter Eisentraut
DDL code uses tuple descriptors to pass around pg_attribute values during table and index creation. But tuple descriptors don't include the variable-length/nullable columns of pg_attribute, so they have to be handled separately. Right now, the attoptions field is handled in a one-off way with a separate argument passed to InsertPgAttributeTuples(). The other affected fields of pg_attribute are right now not needed at relation creation time. The goal of this patch is to generalize this to allow handling additional variable-length/nullable columns of pg_attribute in a similar manner. For that, create a new struct FormExtraData_pg_attribute, which is to be passed around in parallel to the tuple descriptor and optionally supplies the additional columns. Right now, this struct only contains one field for attoptions, so no functionality is actually changed by this.

2024-01-26Reindex toast before its main relation in reindex_relation()Michael Paquier
This commit changes the order of reindex on a relation so as a toast relation is processed before its main relation. The original order, where a rebuild was first done for the indexes on the main table, could be a problem in the event of a corruption of a toast index, because, as scans of a toast index may be required to rebuild the indexes on the main relation, this could lead to failures with REINDEX TABLE without being able to fix anything. Rebuilding corrupted toast indexes before this change was possible but troublesome, as it was necessary to issue a REINDEX on the toast relation first, followed by a REINDEX on the main relation. Changing the order of these operations should make things easier when rebuilding corrupted indexes, as toast indexes would be rebuilt before they are used for the indexes on the main relation.

2024-01-18Improve handling of dropped partitioned indexes for REINDEX INDEXMichael Paquier
A REINDEX INDEX done on a partitioned index builds a list of the indexes to work on before processing its partitions in individual transactions. When combined with a DROP of the partitioned index, there was a window where it was possible to see some unexpected "could not open relation with OID", synonym of relation lookup error. The code was robust enough to handle the case where the parent relation is missing, but not the case where an index would be gone missing. This is similar to 1d65416661bb. Support for REINDEX on partitioned relations has been introduced in a6642b3ae060, so backpatch down to 14.

2024-01-13Make attstattarget nullablePeter Eisentraut
This changes the pg_attribute field attstattarget into a nullable field in the variable-length part of the row. If no value is set by the user for attstattarget, it is now null instead of previously -1. This saves space in pg_attribute and tuple descriptors for most practical scenarios. (ATTRIBUTE_FIXED_PART_SIZE is reduced from 108 to 104.) Also, null is the semantically more correct value. The ANALYZE code internally continues to represent the default statistics target by -1, so that that code can avoid having to deal with null values. But that is now contained to the ANALYZE code. Only the DDL code deals with attstattarget possibly null. For system columns, the field is now always null. The ANALYZE code skips system columns anyway. To set a column's statistics target to the default value, the new command form ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DEFAULT can be used. (SET STATISTICS -1 still works.)

2023-12-08Allow parallel CREATE INDEX for BRIN indexesTomas Vondra
Allow using multiple worker processes to build BRIN index, which until now was supported only for BTREE indexes. For large tables this often results in significant speedup when the build is CPU-bound. The work is split in a simple way - each worker builds BRIN summaries on a subset of the table, determined by the regular parallel scan used to read the data, and feeds them into a shared tuplesort which sorts them by blkno (start of the range). The leader then reads this sorted stream of ranges, merges duplicates (which may happen if the parallel scan does not align with BRIN pages_per_range), and adds the resulting ranges into the index. The number of duplicate results produced by workers (requiring merging in the leader process) should be fairly small, thanks to how parallel scans assign chunks to workers. The likelihood of duplicate results may increase for higher pages_per_range values, but then there are fewer page ranges in total. In any case, we expect the merging to be much cheaper than summarization, so this should be a win. Most of the parallelism infrastructure is a simplified copy of the code used by BTREE indexes, omitting the parts irrelevant for BRIN indexes (e.g. uniqueness checks). This also introduces a new index AM flag amcanbuildparallel, determining whether to attempt to start parallel workers for the index build. Original patch by me, with reviews and substantial reworks by Matthias van de Meent, certainly enough to make him a co-author.

2023-12-04Add support for REINDEX in event triggersMichael Paquier
This commit adds support for REINDEX in event triggers, making this command react for the events ddl_command_start and ddl_command_end. The indexes rebuilt are collected with the ReindexStmt emitted by the caller, for the concurrent and non-concurrent paths. Thanks to that, it is possible to know a full list of the indexes that a single REINDEX command has worked on.

2023-10-03Remove IndexInfo.ii_OpclassOptions fieldPeter Eisentraut
It is unnecessary to include this field in IndexInfo. It is only used by DDL code, not during execution. It is really only used to pass local information around between functions in index.c and indexcmds.c, for which it is clearer to use local variables, like in similar cases.

2023-09-28Fix checking of index expressions in CompareIndexInfo().Tom Lane
This code was sloppy about comparison of index columns that are expressions. It didn't reliably reject cases where one index has an expression where the other has a plain column, and it could index off the start of the attmap array, leading to a Valgrind complaint (though an actual crash seems unlikely). I'm not sure that the expression-vs-column sloppiness leads to any visible problem in practice, because the subsequent comparison of the two expression lists would reject cases where the indexes have different numbers of expressions overall. Maybe we could falsely match indexes having the same expressions in different column positions, but it'd require unlucky contents of the word before the attmap array. It's not too surprising that no problem has been reported from the field. Nonetheless, this code is clearly wrong. Per bug #18135 from Alexander Lakhin. Back-patch to all supported branches.

2023-09-05Remove the "snapshot too old" feature.Thomas Munro
Remove the old_snapshot_threshold setting and mechanism for producing the error "snapshot too old", originally added by commit 848ef42b. Unfortunately it had a number of known problems in terms of correctness and performance, mostly reported by Andres in the course of his work on snapshot scalability. We agreed to remove it, after a long period without an active plan to fix it. This is certainly a desirable feature, and someone might propose a new or improved implementation in the future.

2023-07-06WAL-log the creation of the init fork of unlogged indexes.Heikki Linnakangas
We create a file, so we better WAL-log it. In practice, all the built-in index AMs and all extensions that I'm aware of write a metapage to the init fork, which is WAL-logged, and replay of the metapage implicitly creates the fork too. But if ambuildempty() didn't write any page, we would miss it. This can be seen with dummy_index_am. Set up replication, create a 'dummy_index_am' index on an unlogged table, and look at the files created in the replica: the init fork is not created on the replica. Dummy_index_am doesn't do anything with the relation files, however, so it doesn't lead to any user-visible errors. Backpatch to all supported versions.
