match because they contain a null join key (and the join operator is
known strict). Improves performance significantly when the inner
relation contains a lot of nulls, as per bug #2930.

involving unions of types having typmods. Variants of the failure are known
to occur in 8.1 and up; not sure if it's possible in 8.0 and 7.4, but since
the code exists that far back, I'll just patch 'em all. Per report from
Brian Hurt.
which comparison operators to use for plan nodes involving tuple comparison
(Agg, Group, Unique, SetOp). Formerly the executor looked up the default
equality operator for the datatype, which was really pretty shaky, since it's
possible that the data being fed to the node is sorted according to some
nondefault operator class that could have an incompatible idea of equality.
The planner knows what it has sorted by and therefore can provide the right
equality operator to use. Also, this change moves a couple of catalog lookups
out of the executor and into the planner, which should help startup time for
pre-planned queries by some small amount. Modify the planner to remove some
other cavalier assumptions about always being able to use the default
operators. Also add "nulls first/last" info to the Plan node for a mergejoin
--- neither the executor nor the planner can cope yet, but at least the API is
in place.
per-column options for btree indexes. The planner's support for this is still
pretty rudimentary; it does not yet know how to plan mergejoins with
nondefault ordering options. The documentation is pretty rudimentary, too.
I'll work on improving that stuff later.
Note incompatible change from prior behavior: ORDER BY ... USING will now be
rejected if the operator is not a less-than or greater-than member of some
btree opclass. This prevents less-than-sane behavior if an operator that
doesn't actually define a proper sort ordering is selected.
involving HashAggregate over SubqueryScan (this is the known case, there
may well be more). The bug is only latent in releases before 8.2 since they
didn't try to access tupletable slots' descriptors during ExecDropTupleTable.
The least bogus fix seems to be to make subqueries share the parent query's
memory context, so that tupdescs they create will have the same lifespan as
those of the parent query. There are comments in the code envisioning going
even further by not having a separate child EState at all, but that will
require rethinking executor access to range tables, which I don't want to
tackle right now. Per bug report from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.
ps_TupFromTlist in plan nodes that make use of it. This was being done
correctly in join nodes and Result nodes but not in any relation-scan nodes.
Bug would lead to bogus results if a set-returning function appeared in the
targetlist of a subquery that could be rescanned after partial execution,
for example a subquery within EXISTS(). Bug has been around forever :-(

were marked canSetTag. While it's certainly correct to return the result
of the last one that is marked canSetTag, it's less clear what to do when
none of them are. Since plpgsql will complain if zero is returned, the
8.2.0 behavior isn't good. I've fixed it to restore the prior behavior of
returning the physically last query's result code when there are no
canSetTag queries.
the XmlExpr code in various lists, use a representation that has some hope
of reverse-listing correctly (though it's still a de-escaping function

coding conventions.
cases. Operator classes now exist within "operator families". While most
families are equivalent to a single class, related classes can be grouped
into one family to represent the fact that they are semantically compatible.
Cross-type operators are now naturally adjunct parts of a family, without
having to wedge them into a particular opclass as we had done originally.
This commit restructures the catalogs and cleans up enough of the fallout so
that everything still works at least as well as before, but most of the work
needed to actually improve the planner's behavior will come later. Also,
there are not yet CREATE/DROP/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands; the only way
to create a new family right now is to allow CREATE OPERATOR CLASS to make
one by default. I owe some more documentation work, too. But that can all
be done in smaller pieces once this infrastructure is in place.
release it in a subtransaction abort, but this neglects possibility that
someone outside SPI already did. Fix is for spi.c to forget about a tuptable

problem of memory leakage in plpgsql exception handling, but it should
get rid of the lion's share of leakage.
sub-arrays. Per discussion, if all inputs are empty arrays then result
must be an empty array too, whereas a mix of empty and nonempty arrays
should (and already did) draw an error. In the back branches, the
construct was strict: any NULL input immediately yielded a NULL output;
so I left that behavior alone. HEAD was simply ignoring NULL sub-arrays,
which doesn't seem very sensible. For lack of a better idea it now
treats NULL sub-arrays the same as empty ones.
rows --- if the surrounding query queued any trigger events between the rows,
the events would be fired at the wrong time, leading to bizarre behavior.
Per report from Merlin Moncure.
This is a simple patch that should solve the problem fully in the back
branches, but in HEAD we also need to consider the possibility of queries
with RETURNING clauses. Will look into a fix for that separately.
the SQL spec, viz IS NULL is true if all the row's fields are null, IS NOT
NULL is true if all the row's fields are not null. The former coding got
this right for a limited number of cases with IS NULL (ie, those where it
could disassemble a ROW constructor at parse time), but was entirely wrong
for IS NOT NULL. Per report from Teodor.
I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection
it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec. This
probably needs more consideration.
proposal. Parameter logging works even for binary-format parameters, and
logging overhead is avoided when disabled.
log_statement = all output for the src/test/examples/testlibpq3.c example
now looks like
LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
and log_min_duration_statement = 0 results in
LOG: duration: 2.431 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
LOG: duration: 2.335 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: duration: 0.394 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG: duration: 1.251 ms parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
LOG: duration: 0.566 ms bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
LOG: duration: 0.173 ms execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL: parameters: $1 = '2'
(This example demonstrates the folly of ignoring parse/bind steps for duration
logging purposes, BTW.)
Along the way, create a less ad-hoc mechanism for determining which commands
are logged by log_statement = mod and log_statement = ddl. The former coding
was actually missing quite a few things that look like ddl to me, and it
did not handle EXECUTE or extended query protocol correctly at all.
This commit does not do anything about the question of whether log_duration
should be removed or made less redundant with log_min_duration_statement.
that has parameters is always planned afresh for each Bind command,
treating the parameter values as constants in the planner. This removes
the performance penalty formerly often paid for using out-of-line
parameters --- with this definition, the planner can do constant folding,
LIKE optimization, etc. After a suggestion by Andrew@supernews.
optionally bind. I re-added the "statement:" label so people will
understand why the line is being printed (it is log_*statement
behavior).
Use single quotes for bind values, instead of double quotes, and double
literal single quotes in bind values (and document that). I also made
use of the DETAIL line to have much cleaner output.
Fix all the standard PLs to be able to return tuples from FOO_RETURNING
statements as well as utility statements that return tuples. Also,
fix oversight that SPI_processed wasn't set for a utility statement
returning tuples. Per recent discussion.
cannot assume that there's exactly one Query in the Portal, as we can for
ONE_SELECT mode, because non-SELECT queries might have extra queries added
during rule rewrites. Fix things up so that we'll use ONE_RETURNING mode
when a Portal contains one primary (canSetTag) query and that query has
a RETURNING list. This appears to be a second showstopper reason for running
the Portal to completion before we start to hand anything back --- we want
to be sure that the rule-added queries get run too.
_SPI_execute_plan's return code should reflect the type of the query
that is marked canSetTag, not necessarily the last one in the list.
This is arguably a bug fix, but I'm hesitant to back-patch it because
it's the sort of subtle change that might break someone's code, and it's
best not to do that kind of thing in point releases.
merely a matter of fixing the error check, since the underlying Portal
infrastructure already handles it. This in turn allows these statements
to be used in some existing plpgsql and plperl contexts, such as a
plpgsql FOR loop. Also, do some marginal code cleanup in places that
were being sloppy about distinguishing SELECT from SELECT INTO.
plpgsql support to come later. Along the way, convert execMain's
SELECT INTO support into a DestReceiver, in order to eliminate some ugly
special cases.

that's shorter-lived than the expression state being evaluated in it really
doesn't work :-( --- we end up with fn_extra caches getting deleted while
still in use. Rather than abandon the notion of caching expression state
across domain_in calls altogether, I chose to make domain_in a bit cozier
with ExprContext. All we really need for evaluating variable-free
expressions is an ExprContext, not an EState, so I invented the notion of a
"standalone" ExprContext. domain_in can prevent resource leakages by doing
a ReScanExprContext on this rather than having to free it entirely; so we
can make the ExprContext have the same lifespan (and particularly the same
per_query memory context) as the expression state structs.
temporary context that can be reset when advancing to the next sublist.
This is faster and more thorough at recovering space than the previous
method; moreover it will do the right thing if something in the sublist
tries to register an expression context callback.

(table or index) before trying to open its relcache entry. This fixes
race conditions in which someone else commits a change to the relation's
catalog entries while we are in process of doing relcache load. Problems
of that ilk have been reported sporadically for years, but it was not
really practical to fix until recently --- for instance, the recent
addition of WAL-log support for in-place updates helped.
Along the way, remove pg_am.amconcurrent: all AMs are now expected to support
concurrent update.
created in the bootstrap phase proper, rather than added after-the-fact
by initdb. This is cleaner than before because it allows us to retire the
undocumented ALTER TABLE ... CREATE TOAST TABLE command, but the real reason
I'm doing it is so that toast tables of shared catalogs will now have
predetermined OIDs. This will allow a reasonably clean solution to the
problem of locking tables before we load their relcache entries, to appear
in a forthcoming patch.
the opportunity to treat COUNT(*) as a zero-argument aggregate instead
of the old hack that equated it to COUNT(1); this is materially cleaner
(no more weird ANYOID cases) and ought to be at least a tiny bit faster.
