2025-08-13Grab the low-hanging fruit from forcing sizeof(Datum) to 8.Tom Lane
Remove conditionally-compiled code for smaller Datum widths, and simplify comments that describe cases no longer of interest. I also fixed up a few more places that were not using DatumGetIntXX where they should, and made some cosmetic adjustments such as using sizeof(int64) not sizeof(Datum) in places where that fit better with the surrounding code. One thing I remembered while preparing this part is that SP-GiST stores pass-by-value prefix keys as Datums, so that the on-disk representation depends on sizeof(Datum). That's even more unfortunate than the existing commentary makes it out to be, because now there is a hazard that the change of sizeof(Datum) will break SP-GiST indexes on 32-bit machines. It appears that there are no existing SP-GiST opclasses that are actually affected; and if there are some that I didn't find, the number of installations that are using them on 32-bit machines is doubtless tiny. So I'm proceeding on the assumption that we can get away with this, but it's something to worry about. (gininsert.c looks like it has a similar problem, but it's okay because the "tuples" it's constructing are just transient data within the tuplesort step. That's pretty poorly documented though, so I added some comments.)

2024-12-20Optimize alignment calculations in tuple form/deformDavid Rowley
Here we convert CompactAttribute.attalign from a char, which is directly derived from pg_attribute.attalign into a uint8, which stores the number of bytes to align the column's value by in the tuple. This allows tuple deformation and tuple size calculations to move away from using the inefficient att_align_nominal() macro, which manually checks each TYPALIGN_* char to translate that into the alignment bytes for the given type. Effectively, this commit changes those to TYPEALIGN calls, which are branchless and only perform some simple arithmetic with some bit-twiddling. The removed branches were often mispredicted by CPUs, especially so in real-world tables which often contain a mishmash of different types with different alignment requirements.

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.

2020-12-20Multirange datatypesAlexander Korotkov
Multiranges are basically sorted arrays of non-overlapping ranges with set-theoretic operations defined over them. Since v14, each range type automatically gets a corresponding multirange datatype. There are both manual and automatic mechanisms for naming multirange types. Once can specify multirange type name using multirange_type_name attribute in CREATE TYPE.  Otherwise, a multirange type name is generated automatically. If the range type name contains "range" then we change that to "multirange". Otherwise, we add "_multirange" to the end. Implementation of multiranges comes with a space-efficient internal representation format, which evades extra paddings and duplicated storage of oids.  Altogether this format allows fetching a particular range by its index in O(n). Statistic gathering and selectivity estimation are implemented for multiranges. For this purpose, stored multirange is approximated as union range without gaps. This field will likely need improvements in the future. Catversion is bumped.

2020-03-04Introduce macros for typalign and typstorage constants.Tom Lane
Our usual practice for "poor man's enum" catalog columns is to define macros for the possible values and use those, not literal constants, in C code. But for some reason lost in the mists of time, this was never done for typalign/attalign or typstorage/attstorage. It's never too late to make it better though, so let's do that. The reason I got interested in this right now is the need to duplicate some uses of the TYPSTORAGE constants in an upcoming ALTER TYPE patch. But in general, this sort of change aids greppability and readability, so it's a good idea even without any specific motivation. I may have missed a few places that could be converted, and it's even more likely that pending patches will re-introduce some hard-coded references. But that's not fatal --- there's no expectation that we'd actually change any of these values. We can clean up stragglers over time.

2017-06-21Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple (without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields.

2007-02-27Replace direct assignments to VARATT_SIZEP(x) with SET_VARSIZE(x, len).Tom Lane
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly; and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope to play any games with the representation of varlena headers. Greg Stark and Tom Lane
