2023-12-29Make all Perl warnings fatalPeter Eisentraut
There are a lot of Perl scripts in the tree, mostly code generation and TAP tests. Occasionally, these scripts produce warnings. These are probably always mistakes on the developer side (true positives). Typical examples are warnings from genbki.pl or related when you make a mess in the catalog files during development, or warnings from tests when they massage a config file that looks different on different hosts, or mistakes during merges (e.g., duplicate subroutine definitions), or just mistakes that weren't noticed because there is a lot of output in a verbose build. This changes all warnings into fatal errors, by replacing use warnings; by use warnings FATAL => 'all'; in all Perl files.

2023-12-19Simplify newNode() by removing special casesHeikki Linnakangas
- Remove MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(). It was supposed to be a faster version of MemoryContextAllocZero(), but modern compilers turn the MemSetLoop() into a call to memset() anyway, making it more or less identical to MemoryContextAllocZero(). That was the only user of MemSetTest, MemSetLoop, so remove those too, as well as palloc0fast(). - Convert newNode() to a static inline function. When this was originally originally written, it was written as a macro because testing showed that gcc didn't inline the size check as we intended. Modern compiler versions do, and now that it just calls palloc0() there is no size-check to inline anyway. One nice effect is that the palloc0() takes one less argument than MemoryContextAllocZeroAligned(), which saves a few instructions in the callers of newNode().

2023-11-06Remove distprepPeter Eisentraut
A PostgreSQL release tarball contains a number of prebuilt files, in particular files produced by bison, flex, perl, and well as html and man documentation. We have done this consistent with established practice at the time to not require these tools for building from a tarball. Some of these tools were hard to get, or get the right version of, from time to time, and shipping the prebuilt output was a convenience to users. Now this has at least two problems: One, we have to make the build system(s) work in two modes: Building from a git checkout and building from a tarball. This is pretty complicated, but it works so far for autoconf/make. It does not currently work for meson; you can currently only build with meson from a git checkout. Making meson builds work from a tarball seems very difficult or impossible. One particular problem is that since meson requires a separate build directory, we cannot make the build update files like gram.h in the source tree. So if you were to build from a tarball and update gram.y, you will have a gram.h in the source tree and one in the build tree, but the way things work is that the compiler will always use the one in the source tree. So you cannot, for example, make any gram.y changes when building from a tarball. This seems impossible to fix in a non-horrible way. Second, there is increased interest nowadays in precisely tracking the origin of software. We can reasonably track contributions into the git tree, and users can reasonably track the path from a tarball to packages and downloads and installs. But what happens between the git tree and the tarball is obscure and in some cases non-reproducible. The solution for both of these issues is to get rid of the step that adds prebuilt files to the tarball. The tarball now only contains what is in the git tree (*). Getting the additional build dependencies is no longer a problem nowadays, and the complications to keep these dual build modes working are significant. And of course we want to get the meson build system working universally. This commit removes the make distprep target altogether. The make dist target continues to do its job, it just doesn't call distprep anymore. (*) - The tarball also contains the INSTALL file that is built at make dist time, but not by distprep. This is unchanged for now. The make maintainer-clean target, whose job it is to remove the prebuilt files in addition to what make distclean does, is now just an alias to make distprep. (In practice, it is probably obsolete given that git clean is available.)

2023-10-26Add trailing commas to enum definitionsPeter Eisentraut
Since C99, there can be a trailing comma after the last value in an enum definition. A lot of new code has been introducing this style on the fly. Some new patches are now taking an inconsistent approach to this. Some add the last comma on the fly if they add a new last value, some are trying to preserve the existing style in each place, some are even dropping the last comma if there was one. We could nudge this all in a consistent direction if we just add the trailing commas everywhere once. I omitted a few places where there was a fixed "last" value that will always stay last. I also skipped the header files of libpq and ecpg, in case people want to use those with older compilers. There were also a small number of cases where the enum type wasn't used anywhere (but the enum values were), which ended up confusing pgindent a bit, so I left those alone.

2023-08-25Catalog not-null constraintsAlvaro Herrera
We now create contype='n' pg_constraint rows for not-null constraints. We propagate these constraints to other tables during operations such as adding inheritance relationships, creating and attaching partitions and creating tables LIKE other tables. We also spawn not-null constraints for inheritance child tables when their parents have primary keys. These related constraints mostly follow the well-known rules of conislocal and coninhcount that we have for CHECK constraints, with some adaptations: for example, as opposed to CHECK constraints, we don't match not-null ones by name when descending a hierarchy to alter it, instead matching by column name that they apply to. This means we don't require the constraint names to be identical across a hierarchy. For now, we omit them for system catalogs. Maybe this is worth reconsidering. We don't support NOT VALID nor DEFERRABLE clauses either; these can be added as separate features later (this patch is already large and complicated enough.) psql shows these constraints in \d+. pg_dump requires some ad-hoc hacks, particularly when dumping a primary key. We now create one "throwaway" not-null constraint for each column in the PK together with the CREATE TABLE command, and once the PK is created, all those throwaway constraints are removed. This avoids having to check each tuple for nullness when the dump restores the primary key creation. pg_upgrading from an older release requires a somewhat brittle procedure to create a constraint state that matches what would be created if the database were being created fresh in Postgres 17. I have tested all the scenarios I could think of, and it works correctly as far as I can tell, but I could have neglected weird cases. This patch has been very long in the making. The first patch was written by Bernd Helmle in 2010 to add a new pg_constraint.contype value ('n'), which I (Álvaro) then hijacked in 2011 and 2012, until that one was killed by the realization that we ought to use contype='c' instead: manufactured CHECK constraints. However, later SQL standard development, as well as nonobvious emergent properties of that design (mostly, failure to distinguish them from "normal" CHECK constraints as well as the performance implication of having to test the CHECK expression) led us to reconsider this choice, so now the current implementation uses contype='n' again. During Postgres 16 this had already been introduced by commit e056c557aef4, but there were some problems mainly with the pg_upgrade procedure that couldn't be fixed in reasonable time, so it was reverted. In 2016 Vitaly Burovoy also worked on this feature[1] but found no consensus for his proposed approach, which was claimed to be closer to the letter of the standard, requiring an additional pg_attribute column to track the OID of the not-null constraint for that column.

2023-07-13Don't include CaseTestExpr in JsonValueExpr.formatted_exprAmit Langote
A CaseTestExpr is currently being put into JsonValueExpr.formatted_expr as placeholder for the result of evaluating JsonValueExpr.raw_expr, which in turn is evaluated separately. Though, there's no need for this indirection if raw_expr itself can be embedded into formatted_expr and evaluated as part of evaluating the latter, especially as there is no special reason to evaluate it separately. So this commit makes it so. As a result, JsonValueExpr.raw_expr no longer needs to be evaluated in ExecInterpExpr(), eval_const_exprs_mutator() etc. and is now only used for displaying the original "unformatted" expression in ruleutils.c. While at it, this also removes the function makeCaseTestExpr(), because the code in makeJsonConstructorExpr() looks more readable without it IMO and isn't used by anyone else either. Finally, a note is added in the comment above CaseTestExpr's definition that JsonConstructorExpr is also using it.

2023-07-04Remove trailing zero words from BitmapsetsDavid Rowley
Prior to this, Bitmapsets could contain trailing words which had no members set. Many places in bitmapset.c had to loop over trailing words to check for empty words. If we ensure we always remove these trailing zero words then we can perform various optimizations such as fast pathing bms_is_subset to return false when 'a' has more words than 'b'. A similar optimization is possible in bms_equal. Both of these together can yield quite significant performance increases in the query planner when querying a partitioned table with around 100 or more partitions. While we're at it, since the minimum number of words a Bitmapset can contain is 1, we can make use of do/while loops instead of for loops when looping over all words in a set. This means checking the loop condition 1 less time, which for single-word sets cuts the loop condition checks in half.

2023-05-17Add back SQLValueFunction for SQL keywordsMichael Paquier
This is equivalent to a revert of f193883 and fb32748, with the addition that the declaration of the SQLValueFunction node needs to gain a couple of node_attr for query jumbling. The performance impact of removing the function call inlining is proving to be too huge for some workloads where these are used. A worst-case test case of involving only simple SELECT queries with a SQL keyword is proving to lead to a reduction of 10% in TPS via pgbench and prepared queries on a high-end machine. None of the tests I ran back for this set of changes saw such a huge gap, but Alexander Lakhin and Andres Freund have found that this can be noticeable. Keeping the older performance would mean to do more inlining in the executor when using COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX for a function expression, similarly to what SQLValueFunction does. This requires more redesign work and there is little time until 16beta1 is released, so for now reverting the change is the best way forward, bringing back the previous performance.

2023-03-02Require empty Bitmapsets to be represented as NULL.Tom Lane
When I designed the Bitmapset module, I set things up so that an empty Bitmapset could be represented either by a NULL pointer, or by an allocated object all of whose bits are zero. I've recently come to the conclusion that that was a bad idea and we should instead have a convention like the longstanding invariant for Lists, whereby an empty list is represented by NIL and nothing else. To do this, we need to fix bms_intersect, bms_difference, and a couple of other functions to check for having produced an empty result; but then we can replace bms_is_empty(a) by a simple "a == NULL" test. This is very likely a (marginal) win performance-wise, because we call bms_is_empty many more times than those other functions put together. However, the real reason to do it is that we have various places that have hand-implemented a rule about "this Bitmapset variable must be exactly NULL if empty", so that they can use checks-for-null in place of bms_is_empty calls in particularly hot code paths. That is a really fragile, mistake-prone way to do things, and I'm surprised that we've seldom been bitten by it. It's not well documented at all which variables have this property, so you can't readily tell which code might be violating those conventions. By making the convention universal, we can eliminate a subtle source of bugs. Patch by me; thanks to Nathan Bossart and Richard Guo for review.

2023-03-02Remove bms_first_member().Tom Lane
This function has been semi-deprecated ever since we invented bms_next_member(). Its habit of scribbling on the input bitmapset isn't great, plus for sufficiently large bitmapsets it would take O(N^2) time to complete a loop. Now we have the additional problem that reducing the input to empty while leaving it still accessible would violate a planned invariant. So let's just get rid of it, after updating the few extant callers to use bms_next_member(). Patch by me; thanks to Nathan Bossart and Richard Guo for review.

2023-02-13Mark more nodes with attribute no_query_jumbleMichael Paquier
This commit removes most of the Plan and Path nodes, which should never be included in the query jumbling because we ignore these in Query nodes. This is facilitated by making no_query_jumble an inherited attribute, like no_copy, no_equal and no_read when the supertype of a node is found as marked with that. RawStmt is not used in parsed queries, so it can be removed from the query jumbling. A couple of nodes defined in pathnodes.h, plannodes.h and primnodes.h with NodeTag as supertype need to be marked individually. Forcing the execution of the query jumbling code with compute_query_id = auto while pg_stat_statements is loaded brings the code coverage of queryjumblefuncs.funcs.c to 95.6%. The core code does not yet include a way to enforce the execution in query jumbling except in pg_stat_statements, so the numbers I am mentioning above will not reflect on the default coverage report with just what is done in this commit.

2023-02-07Include values of A_Const nodes in query jumblingMichael Paquier
Like the implementation for node copy, write and read, this node requires a custom implementation so as the query jumbling is able to consider the correct value assigned to it, depending on its type (int, float, bool, string, bitstring). Based on a dump of pg_stat_statements from the regression database, this would confuse the query jumbling of the following queries: - SET. - COPY TO with SELECT queries. - START TRANSACTION with different isolation levels. - ALTER TABLE with default expressions. - CREATE TABLE with partition bounds. Note that there may be a long-term argument in tracking the location of such nodes so as query strings holding such nodes could be normalized, but this is left as a separate discussion.

2023-01-31Generate code for query jumbling through gen_node_support.plMichael Paquier
This commit changes the query jumbling code in queryjumblefuncs.c to be generated automatically based on the information of the nodes in the headers of src/include/nodes/ by using gen_node_support.pl. This approach offers many advantages: - Support for query jumbling for all the utility statements, based on the state of their parsed Nodes and not only their query string. This will greatly ease the switch to normalize the information of some DDLs, like SET or CALL for example (this is left unchanged and should be part of a separate discussion). With this feature, the number of entries stored for utilities in pg_stat_statements is reduced (for example now "CHECKPOINT" and "checkpoint" mean the same thing with the same query ID). - Documentation of query jumbling directly in the structure definition of the nodes. Since this code has been introduced in pg_stat_statements and then moved to code, the reasons behind the choices of what should be included in the jumble are rather sparse. Note that some explanation is added for the most relevant parts, as a start. - Overall code reduction and more consistency with the other parts generating read, write and copy depending on the nodes. The query jumbling is controlled by a couple of new node attributes, documented in nodes/nodes.h: - custom_query_jumble, to mark a Node as having a custom implementation. - no_query_jumble, to ignore entirely a Node. - query_jumble_ignore, to ignore a field in a Node. - query_jumble_location, to mark a location in a Node, for normalization. This can apply only to int fields, with "location" in their name (only Const as of this commit). There should be no compatibility impact on pg_stat_statements, as the new code applies the jumbling to the same fields for each node (its regression tests have no modification, for one). Some benchmark of the query jumbling between HEAD and this commit for SELECT and DMLs has proved that this new code does not cause a performance regression, with computation times close for both methods. For utility queries, the new method is slower than the previous method of calculating a hash of the query string, though we are talking about extra ns-level changes based on what I measured, which is unnoticeable even for OLTP workloads as a query ID is calculated once per query post-parse analysis.

2023-01-30Invent "join domains" to replace the below_outer_join hack.Tom Lane
EquivalenceClasses are now understood as applying within a "join domain", which is a set of inner-joined relations (possibly underneath an outer join). We no longer need to treat an EC from below an outer join as a second-class citizen. I have hopes of eventually being able to treat outer-join clauses via EquivalenceClasses, by means of only applying deductions within the EC's join domain. There are still problems in the way of that, though, so for now the reconsider_outer_join_clause logic is still here. I haven't been able to get rid of RestrictInfo.is_pushed_down either, but I wonder if that could be recast using JoinDomains. I had to hack one test case in postgres_fdw.sql to make it still test what it was meant to, because postgres_fdw is inconsistent about how it deals with quals containing non-shippable expressions; see https://postgr.es/m/[email protected].

2023-01-30Make Vars be outer-join-aware.Tom Lane
Traditionally we used the same Var struct to represent the value of a table column everywhere in parse and plan trees. This choice predates our support for SQL outer joins, and it's really a pretty bad idea with outer joins, because the Var's value can depend on where it is in the tree: it might go to NULL above an outer join. So expression nodes that are equal() per equalfuncs.c might not represent the same value, which is a huge correctness hazard for the planner. To improve this, decorate Var nodes with a bitmapset showing which outer joins (identified by RTE indexes) may have nulled them at the point in the parse tree where the Var appears. This allows us to trust that equal() Vars represent the same value. A certain amount of klugery is still needed to cope with cases where we re-order two outer joins, but it's possible to make it work without sacrificing that core principle. PlaceHolderVars receive similar decoration for the same reason. In the planner, we include these outer join bitmapsets into the relids that an expression is considered to depend on, and in consequence also add outer-join relids to the relids of join RelOptInfos. This allows us to correctly perceive whether an expression can be calculated above or below a particular outer join. This change affects FDWs that want to plan foreign joins. They *must* follow suit when labeling foreign joins in order to match with the core planner, but for many purposes (if postgres_fdw is any guide) they'd prefer to consider only base relations within the join. To support both requirements, redefine ForeignScan.fs_relids as base+OJ relids, and add a new field fs_base_relids that's set up by the core planner. Large though it is, this commit just does the minimum necessary to install the new mechanisms and get check-world passing again. Follow-up patches will perform some cleanup. (The README additions and comments mention some stuff that will appear in the follow-up.) Patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for review.

2023-01-18Get rid of the "new" and "old" entries in a view's rangetable.Tom Lane
The rule system needs "old" and/or "new" pseudo-RTEs in rule actions that are ON INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE. Historically it's put such entries into the ON SELECT rules of views as well, but those are really quite vestigial. The only thing we've used them for is to carry the view's relid forward to AcquireExecutorLocks (so that we can re-lock the view to verify it hasn't changed before re-using a plan) and to carry its relid and permissions data forward to execution-time permissions checks. What we can do instead of that is to retain these fields of the RTE_RELATION RTE for the view even after we convert it to an RTE_SUBQUERY RTE. This requires a tiny amount of extra complication in the planner and AcquireExecutorLocks, but on the other hand we can get rid of the logic that moves that data from one place to another. The principal immediate benefit of doing this, aside from a small saving in the pg_rewrite data for views, is that these pseudo-RTEs no longer trigger ruleutils.c's heuristic about qualifying variable names when the rangetable's length is more than 1. That results in quite a number of small simplifications in regression test outputs, which are all to the good IMO. Bump catversion because we need to dump a few more fields of RTE_SUBQUERY RTEs. While those will always be zeroes anyway in stored rules (because we'd never populate them until query rewrite) they are useful for debugging, and it seems like we'd better make sure to transmit such RTEs accurately in plans sent to parallel workers. I don't think the executor actually examines these fields after startup, but someday it might. This is a second attempt at committing 1b4d280ea. The difference from the first time is that now we can add some filtering rules to AdjustUpgrade.pm to allow cross-version upgrade testing to pass despite all the cosmetic changes in CREATE VIEW outputs.

2023-01-05Fix calculation of which GENERATED columns need to be updated.Tom Lane
We were identifying the updatable generated columns of inheritance children by transposing the calculation made for their parent. However, there's nothing that says a traditional-inheritance child can't have generated columns that aren't there in its parent, or that have different dependencies than are in the parent's expression. (At present it seems that we don't enforce that for partitioning either, which is likely wrong to some degree or other; but the case clearly needs to be handled with traditional inheritance.) Hence, drop the very-klugy-anyway "extraUpdatedCols" RTE field in favor of identifying which generated columns depend on updated columns during executor startup. In HEAD we can remove extraUpdatedCols altogether; in back branches, it's still there but always empty. Another difference between the HEAD and back-branch versions of this patch is that in HEAD we can add the new bitmap field to ResultRelInfo, but that would cause an ABI break in back branches. Like 4b3e37993, add a List field at the end of struct EState instead. Back-patch to v13. The bogus calculation is also being made in v12, but it doesn't have the same visible effect because we don't use it to decide which generated columns to recalculate; as a consequence of which the patch doesn't apply easily. I think that there might still be a demonstrable bug associated with trigger firing conditions, but that's such a weird corner-case usage that I'm content to leave it unfixed in v12.

2022-12-09Create infrastructure for "soft" error reporting.Tom Lane
Postgres' standard mechanism for reporting errors (ereport() or elog()) is used for all sorts of error conditions. This means that throwing an exception via ereport(ERROR) requires an expensive transaction or subtransaction abort and cleanup, since the exception catcher dare not make many assumptions about what has gone wrong. There are situations where we would rather have a lighter-weight mechanism for dealing with errors that are known to be safe to recover from without a full transaction cleanup. This commit creates infrastructure to let us adapt existing error-reporting code for that purpose. See the included documentation changes for details. Follow-on commits will provide test code and usage examples. The near-term plan is to convert most if not all datatype input functions to report invalid input "softly". This will enable implementing some SQL/JSON features cleanly and without the cost of subtransactions, and it will also allow creating COPY options to deal with bad input without cancelling the whole COPY. This patch is mostly by me, but it owes very substantial debt to earlier work by Nikita Glukhov, Andrew Dunstan, and Amul Sul. Thanks also to Andres Freund for review.

2022-12-06Rework query relation permission checkingAlvaro Herrera
Currently, information about the permissions to be checked on relations mentioned in a query is stored in their range table entries. So the executor must scan the entire range table looking for relations that need to have permissions checked. This can make the permission checking part of the executor initialization needlessly expensive when many inheritance children are present in the range range. While the permissions need not be checked on the individual child relations, the executor still must visit every range table entry to filter them out. This commit moves the permission checking information out of the range table entries into a new plan node called RTEPermissionInfo. Every top-level (inheritance "root") RTE_RELATION entry in the range table gets one and a list of those is maintained alongside the range table. This new list is initialized by the parser when initializing the range table. The rewriter can add more entries to it as rules/views are expanded. Finally, the planner combines the lists of the individual subqueries into one flat list that is passed to the executor for checking. To make it quick to find the RTEPermissionInfo entry belonging to a given relation, RangeTblEntry gets a new Index field 'perminfoindex' that stores the corresponding RTEPermissionInfo's index in the query's list of the latter. ExecutorCheckPerms_hook has gained another List * argument; the signature is now: typedef bool (*ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type) (List *rangeTable, List *rtePermInfos, bool ereport_on_violation); The first argument is no longer used by any in-core uses of the hook, but we leave it in place because there may be other implementations that do. Implementations should likely scan the rtePermInfos list to determine which operations to allow or deny.

2022-12-02Add some error cross-checks to gen_node_support.pl.Tom Lane
Check that if we generate a call to copy, compare, write, or read a specific node type, that node type does have the appropriate support function. (This doesn't protect against trying to invoke nonexistent code when considering generic field types such as "Node *", but it seems like a useful check anyway.) Check that array_size() refers to a field appearing earlier in the struct. Aside from catching obvious errors like a misspelled field name, this protects against a more subtle mistake: if the size field appears later in the struct than the array field, then compare and read functions would misbehave. There is actually exactly that situation in PlannerInfo, but it's okay since we do not need compare or read functionality for that (today anyway).

The parser included a set of checks coming from the files in charge of holding the C functions used for the SQLValueFunction calls (as of transformSQLValueFunction()), which are now moved within each function's execution path, so this reduces the dependencies between the execution and the parsing steps. As of this change, all the SQL keywords use the same paths for their work, relying only on COERCE_SQL_SYNTAX.
