qualified operator names directly, for example CREATE OPERATOR myschema.+ ( ... ). To qualify an operator name in an expression you need to write OPERATOR(myschema.+) (thanks to Peter for suggesting an escape hatch). I also took advantage of having to reformat pg_operator to fix something that'd been bugging me for a while: mergejoinable operators should have explicit links to the associated cross-data-type comparison operators, rather than hardwiring an assumption that they are named < and >.

now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do. Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end of planning, rather than during parsing. Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work. initdb forced due to change of stored-rule representation.

clause being added to a particular restriction-clause list is redundant with those already in the list. This avoids useless work at runtime, and (perhaps more importantly) keeps the selectivity estimation routines from generating too-small estimates of numbers of output rows. Also some minor improvements in OPTIMIZER_DEBUG displays.

of costsize.c routines to pass Query root, so that costsize can figure more things out by itself and not be so dependent on its callers to tell it everything it needs to know. Use selectivity of hash or merge clause to estimate number of tuples processed internally in these joins (this is more useful than it would've been before, since eqjoinsel is somewhat more accurate than before).

create_index_paths are not immediately discarded, but are available for subsequent planner work. This allows avoiding redundant syscache lookups in several places. Change interface to operator selectivity estimation procedures to allow faster and more flexible estimation. Initdb forced due to change of pg_proc entries for selectivity functions!

a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too). pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values, not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command. There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before. A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.

to specific base or join RelOptInfo nodes during planning. This preserves the more-intuitive behavior of 7.0.* --- if you write an expensive clause (such as a sub-select) last, it should get evaluated last. Someday we ought to try to have some intelligence about the order of evaluation of WHERE clauses, but for now we should not override what the user wrote.

1. If there is exactly one pg_operator entry of the right name and oprkind, oper() and related routines would return that entry whether its input type had anything to do with the request or not. This is just premature optimization: we shouldn't return the single candidate until after we verify that it really is a valid candidate, ie, is at least coercion-compatible with the given types. 2. oper() and related routines only promise a coercion-compatible result. Unfortunately, there were quite a few callers that assumed the returned operator is binary-compatible with the given datatype; they would proceed to call it without making any datatype coercions. These callers include sorting, grouping, aggregation, and VACUUM ANALYZE. In general I think it is appropriate for these callers to require an exact or binary-compatible match, so I've added a new routine compatible_oper() that only succeeds if it can find an operator that doesn't require any run-time conversions. Callers now call oper() or compatible_oper() depending on whether they are prepared to deal with type conversion or not. The upshot of these bugs is revealed by the following silliness in PL/Tcl's selftest: it creates an operator @< on int4, and then tries to use it to sort a char(N) column. The system would let it do that :-( (and evidently has done so since 6.3 :-( :-(). The result in this case was just a silly sort order, but the reverse combination would've provoked coredump from trying to dereference integers. With this fix you get more reasonable behavior: pltcl_test=# select * from T_pkey1 order by key1, key2 using @<; ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '@<' for types 'bpchar' and 'bpchar' You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast

comparison does not consider paths different when they differ only in uninteresting aspects of sort order. (We had a special case of this consideration for indexscans already, but generalize it to apply to ordered join paths too.) Be stricter about what is a canonical pathkey to allow faster pathkey comparison. Cache canonical pathkeys and dispersion stats for left and right sides of a RestrictInfo's clause, to avoid repeated computation. Total speedup will depend on number of tables in a query, but I see about 4x speedup of planning phase for a sample seven-table query.

(Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking moved out of rewriter and into executor. INITDB REQUIRED!

right thing with variable-free clauses that contain noncachable functions, such as 'WHERE random() < 0.5' --- these are evaluated once per potential output tuple. Expressions that contain only Params are now candidates to be indexscan quals --- for example, 'var = ($1 + 1)' can now be indexed. Cope with RelabelType nodes atop potential indexscan variables --- this oversight prevents 7.0.* from recognizing some potentially indexscanable situations.

mergejoinable qual clauses, and add them to the query quals. For example, WHERE a = b AND b = c will cause us to add AND a = c. This is necessary to ensure that it's safe to use these variables as interchangeable sort keys, which is something 7.0 knows how to do. Should provide a useful improvement in planning ability, too.

accesses versus sequential accesses, a (very crude) estimate of the effects of caching on random page accesses, and cost to evaluate WHERE- clause expressions. Export critical parameters for this model as SET variables. Also, create SET variables for the planner's enable flags (enable_seqscan, enable_indexscan, etc) so that these can be controlled more conveniently than via PGOPTIONS. Planner now estimates both startup cost (cost before retrieving first tuple) and total cost of each path, so it can optimize queries with LIMIT on a reasonable basis by interpolating between these costs. Same facility is a win for EXISTS(...) subqueries and some other cases. Redesign pathkey representation to achieve a major speedup in planning (I saw as much as 5X on a 10-way join); also minor changes in planner to reduce memory consumption by recycling discarded Path nodes and not constructing unnecessary lists. Minor cleanups to display more-plausible costs in some cases in EXPLAIN output. Initdb forced by change in interface to index cost estimation functions.

fields in JoinPaths --- turns out that we do need that after all :-(. Also, rearrange planner so that only one RelOptInfo is created for a particular set of joined base relations, no matter how many different subsets of relations it can be created from. This saves memory and processing time compared to the old method of making a bunch of RelOptInfos and then removing the duplicates. Clean up the jointree iteration logic; not sure if it's better, but I sure find it more readable and plausible now, particularly for the case of 'bushy plans'.

mentioned in FROM but not elsewhere in the query: such tables should be joined over anyway. Aside from being more standards-compliant, this allows removal of some very ugly hacks for COUNT(*) processing. Also, allow HAVING clause without aggregate functions, since SQL does. Clean up CREATE RULE statement-list syntax the same way Bruce just fixed the main stmtmulti production. CAUTION: addition of a field to RangeTblEntry nodes breaks stored rules; you will have to initdb if you have any rules.

and fix_opids processing to a single recursive pass over the plan tree executed at the very tail end of planning, rather than haphazardly here and there at different places. Now that tlist Vars do not get modified until the very end, it's possible to get rid of the klugy var_equal and match_varid partial-matching routines, and just use plain equal() throughout the optimizer. This is a step towards allowing merge and hash joins to be done on expressions instead of only Vars ...

store all ordering information in pathkeys lists (which are now lists of lists of PathKeyItem nodes, not just lists of lists of vars). This was a big win --- the code is smaller and IMHO more understandable than it was, even though it handles more cases. I believe the node changes will not force an initdb for anyone; planner nodes don't show up in stored rules.

identified by Hiroshi (incorrect cost attributed to OR clauses after multiple passes through set_rest_selec()). I think the code was trying to allow selectivities of OR subclauses to be passed in from outside, but noplace was actually passing any useful data, and set_rest_selec() was passing wrong data. Restructure representation of "indexqual" in IndexPath nodes so that it is the same as for indxqual in completed IndexScan nodes: namely, a toplevel list with an entry for each pass of the index scan, having sublists that are implicitly-ANDed index qual conditions for that pass. You don't want to know what the old representation was :-( Improve documentation of OR-clause indexscan functions. Remove useless 'notclause' field from RestrictInfo nodes. (This might force an initdb for anyone who has stored rules containing RestrictInfos, but I do not think that RestrictInfo ever appears in completed plans.)
