      Extend EXPLAIN to allow generic options to be specified. · d4382c4a
      Tom Lane authored
      The original syntax made it difficult to add options without making them
      into reserved words.  This change parenthesizes the options to avoid that
      problem, and makes provision for an explicit (and perhaps non-Boolean)
      value for each option.  The original syntax is still supported, but only
      for the two original options ANALYZE and VERBOSE.
      
      As a test case, add a COSTS option that can suppress the planner cost
      estimates.  This may be useful for including EXPLAIN output in the regression
      tests, which are otherwise unable to cope with cross-platform variations in
      cost estimates.

      Assorted minor refactoring in EXPLAIN. · 8af12bca
      Tom Lane authored
      This is believed to not change the output at all, with one known exception:
      "Subquery Scan foo" becomes "Subquery Scan on foo".  (We can fix that if
      anyone complains, but it would be a wart, because the old code was clearly
      inconsistent.)  The main intention is to remove duplicate coding and
      provide a cleaner base for subsequent EXPLAIN patching.

      Reserve the shared memory region during backend startup on Windows, so · a7e58786
      Magnus Hagander authored
      that memory allocated by starting third party DLLs doesn't end up
      conflicting with it.
      
      Hopefully this solves the long-time issue with "could not reattach
      to shared memory" errors on Win32.
      
      Patch from Tsutomu Yamada and me, based on idea from Trevor Talbot.

      Document \dg+ and \du+ · 5e229941
      Peter Eisentraut authored
      The fact that \dg and \du take the + option was missing in the documentation.
      
      backpatched to 8.4

      Avoid extra system calls to block SIGPIPE if the platform provides either · cea80e72
      Tom Lane authored
      sockopt(SO_NOSIGPIPE) or the MSG_NOSIGNAL flag to send().
      
      We assume these features are available if (1) the symbol is defined at
      compile time and (2) the kernel doesn't reject the call at runtime.
      It might turn out that there are some platforms where (1) and (2) are
      true and yet the signal isn't really blocked, in which case applications
      would die on server crash.  If that sort of thing gets reported, then
      we'll have to add additional defenses of some kind.

      Save a few cycles in EXPLAIN and related commands by not bothering to form · adfa0429

      a physical tuple in do_tup_output().  A virtual tuple is easier to set up
      and also easier for most tuple receivers to process.  Per my comment on
      Robert Haas' recent patch in this code.

      In a non-hashed Agg node, reset the "aggcontext" at group boundaries, instead · 6a0865e4
      Tom Lane authored
      of individually pfree'ing pass-by-reference transition values.  This should
      be at least as fast as the prior coding, and it has the major advantage of
      clearing out any working data an aggregate function may have stored in or
      underneath the aggcontext.  This avoids memory leakage when an aggregate
      such as array_agg() is used in GROUP BY mode.  Per report from Chris Spotts.
      
      Back-patch to 8.4.  In principle the problem could arise in prior versions,
      but since they didn't have array_agg the issue seems not critical.

      Fix another thinko in join_is_legal's handling of semijoins: we have to test · 1ca695db
      Tom Lane authored
      for the case that the semijoin was implemented within either input by
      unique-ifying its RHS before we test to see if it appears to match the current
      join situation.  The previous coding would select semijoin logic in situations
      where we'd already unique-ified the RHS and joined it to some unrelated
      relation(s), and then came to join it to the semijoin's LHS.  That still gave
      the right answer as far as the semijoin itself was concerned, but would lead
      to incorrectly examining only an arbitrary one of the matchable rows from the
      unrelated relation(s).  The cause of this thinko was incorrect unification of
      the pre-8.4 logic for IN joins and OUTER joins --- the comparable case for
      outer joins can be handled after making the match test, but that's because
      there is nothing like the unique-ification escape hatch for outer joins.
      Per bug #4934 from Benjamin Reed.
