There's no particular advantage to this change on its face; indeed, it's possible that this might be slightly slower than the old way. But it makes this information more easily accessible to other functions, and therefore paves the way for future code consolidation. Performance isn't critical here, so there's no need to be smart about how we do the search. This is a heavily cut-down version of a patch from KaiGai Kohei, with several fixes by me. Additional review from Dimitri Fontaine. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/fa351d5a0db0672b6f586315720302e493116f27">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/fa351d5a0db0672b6f586315720302e493116f27</a></li> <li>Avoid potential relcache leak in objectaddress.c.

This way, if a role's config setting uses the name of another role, the validity of the dump isn't dependent on the order in which those two roles are dumped.

This commit changes index-only scans so that data is read directly from the index tuple without first generating a faux heap tuple. The only immediate benefit is that indexes on system columns (such as OID) can be used in index-only scans, but this is necessary infrastructure if we are ever to support index-only scans on expression indexes. The executor is now ready for that, though the planner still needs substantial work to recognize the possibility. To do this, Vars in index-only plan nodes have to refer to index columns not heap columns. I introduced a new special varno, INDEX_VAR, to mark such Vars to avoid confusion. (In passing, this commit renames the two existing special varnos to OUTER_VAR and INNER_VAR.) This allows ruleutils.c to handle them with logic similar to what we use for subplan reference Vars. Since index-only scans are now fundamentally different from regular indexscans so far as their expression subtrees are concerned, I also chose to change them to have their own plan node type (and hence, their own executor source file). <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/a0185461dd94c8d31d8d55a7f2839b0d2f172ab9">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/a0185461dd94c8d31d8d55a7f2839b0d2f172ab9</a></li> <li>Consider index-only scans even when there is no matching qual or ORDER BY. By popular demand. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/600d3206d1b3f8b540397b79905486a536ac7f78">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/600d3206d1b3f8b540397b79905486a536ac7f78</a></li> <li>Generate index-only scan tuple descriptor from the plan node's indextlist. Dept. of second thoughts: as long as we've got that tlist hanging around anyway, we can apply ExecTypeFromTL to it to get a suitable descriptor for the ScanTupleSlot. This is a nicer solution than the previous one because it eliminates some hard-wired knowledge about btree name_ops, and because it avoids the somewhat shaky assumption that we needn't set up the scan tuple descriptor in EXPLAIN_ONLY mode. It doesn't change what actually happens at run-time though, and I'm still a bit nervous about that. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/cb6771fb32cbdb11c8d84b7d62ee940bdba38d52">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/cb6771fb32cbdb11c8d84b7d62ee940bdba38d52</a></li> <li>Add comment on why pulling data from a "name" index column can't crash. It's been bothering me for several days that pretending that the cstring data stored in a btree name_ops column is really a "name" Datum could lead to reading past the end of memory. However, given the current memory layout used for index-only scans in the btree code, a crash is in fact not possible. Document that so we don't break it. I have not thought of any other solutions that aren't fairly ugly too, and most of them lose the functionality of index-only scans on name columns altogether, so this seems like the way to go. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8c8ba6d11b06e5a8b9fe5653a1cd17c437af5f7b">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/8c8ba6d11b06e5a8b9fe5653a1cd17c437af5f7b</a></li> <li>Improve documentation of psql's \q command. The documentation neglected to explain its behavior in a script file (it only ends execution of the script, not psql as a whole), and failed to mention the long form \quit either. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/80c6409c2bb9417c059603f0b5b88209517c7593">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/80c6409c2bb9417c059603f0b5b88209517c7593</a></li> <li>Throw a useful error message if an extension script file is fed to psql. We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file, and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo. That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to do it differently now. Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1 ... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/458857cc9d7d00711b272a0dabbcb591b506d6b8">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/458857cc9d7d00711b272a0dabbcb591b506d6b8</a></li> <li>Don't mark auto-generated types as extension members. Relation rowtypes and automatically-generated array types do not need to have their own extension membership dependency entries. If we create such then it becomes more difficult to remove items from an extension, and it's also harder for an extension upgrade script to make sure it duplicates the dependencies created by the extension's regular installation script. I changed the code in such a way that this happened in commit 988cccc620dd8c16d77f88ede167b22056176324, I think because of worries about the shell-type-replacement case; but that cure was worse than the disease. It would only matter if one extension created a shell type that was replaced with an auto-generated type in another extension, which seems pretty far-fetched. Better to make this work unsurprisingly in normal cases. Report and patch by Robert Haas, comment adjustments by me. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7b96519fe24b6a675b2cd39ed3b89302b8f1fedb">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/7b96519fe24b6a675b2cd39ed3b89302b8f1fedb</a></li> <li>Fix typo in dummy_seclabel documentation. dummy_label -&gt; dummy_seclabel. Thom Brown <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/de1bf53a254a2a832ddbc46395e9af2b918d9302">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/de1bf53a254a2a832ddbc46395e9af2b918d9302</a></li> <li>Fix up Perl-to-Postgres datatype conversions in pl/perl. This patch restores the pre-9.1 behavior that pl/perl functions returning VOID ignore the result value of their last Perl statement. 9.1.0 unintentionally threw an error if the last statement returned a reference, as reported by Amit Khandekar. Also, make sure it works to return a string value for a composite type, so long as the string meets the type's input format. We already allowed the equivalent behavior for arrays, so it seems inconsistent to not allow it for composites. In addition, ensure we throw errors for attempts to return arrays or hashes when the function's declared result type is not an array or composite type, respectively. Pre-9.1 versions rather uselessly returned strings like ARRAY(0x221a9a0) or HASH(0x221aa90), while 9.1.0 threw an error for the hash case and returned a garbage value for the array case. Also, clean up assorted grotty coding in Perl array conversion, including use of a session-lifespan memory context to accumulate the array value (resulting in session-lifespan memory leak on error), failure to apply the declared typmod if any, and failure to detect some cases of non-rectangular multi-dimensional arrays.

Add a column pg_class.relallvisible to remember the number of pages that were all-visible according to the visibility map as of the last VACUUM (or ANALYZE, or some other operations that update pg_class.relpages). Use relallvisible/relpages, instead of an arbitrary constant, to estimate how many heap page fetches can be avoided during an index-only scan. This is pretty primitive and will no doubt see refinements once we've acquired more field experience with the index-only scan mechanism, but it's way better than using a constant. Note: I had to adjust an underspecified query in the window.sql regression test, because it was changing answers when the plan changed to use an index-only scan. Some of the adjacent tests perhaps should be adjusted as well, but I didn't do that here. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e6858e665731c0f56d3ecc9fbb245c32d24f8ef7">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e6858e665731c0f56d3ecc9fbb245c32d24f8ef7</a></li> <li>Measure the number of all-visible pages for use in index-only scan costing.

This view was being insufficiently careful about matching the FK constraint to the depended-on primary or unique key constraint. That could result in failure to show an FK constraint at all, or showing it multiple times, or claiming that it depended on a different constraint than the one it really does. Fix by joining via pg_depend to ensure that we find only the correct dependency. Back-patch, but don't bump catversion because we can't force initdb in back branches. The next minor-version release notes should explain that if you need to fix this in an existing installation, you can drop the information_schema schema then re-create it by sourcing $SHAREDIR/information_schema.sql in each database (as a superuser of course). <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/d26e1ebaf5f8f59c27327e8fd810fa4b26431a1f">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/d26e1ebaf5f8f59c27327e8fd810fa4b26431a1f</a></li> <li>Marginal improvements to documentation of plpgsql's OPEN cursor statement. Rearrange text to improve clarity, and add an example of implicit reference to a plpgsql variable in a bound cursor's query. Byproduct of some work I'd done on the "named cursor parameters" patch before giving up on it. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0898d71f66ed884af726556ac9ffc8081dddc757">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/0898d71f66ed884af726556ac9ffc8081dddc757</a></li> <li>Teach btree to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr quals natively. This allows "indexedcol op ANY(ARRAY[...])" conditions to be used in plain indexscans, and particularly in index-only scans. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/9e8da0f75731aaa7605cf4656c21ea09e84d2eb1">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/9e8da0f75731aaa7605cf4656c21ea09e84d2eb1</a></li> <li>Fix collate.linux.utf8 expected output for recent error message change. Noted by Jeff Davis. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e661c3dfd320487aaa1d6223e732e00c1b5c3cc2">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/e661c3dfd320487aaa1d6223e732e00c1b5c3cc2</a></li> <li>Avoid assuming that index-only scan data matches the index's rowtype. In general the data returned by an index-only scan should have the datatypes originally computed by FormIndexDatum. If the index opclasses use "storage" datatypes different from their input datatypes, the scan tuple will not have the same rowtype attributed to the index; but we had a hard-wired assumption that that was true in nodeIndexonlyscan.c. We'd already hacked around the issue for the one case where the types are different in btree indexes (btree name_ops), but this would definitely come back to bite us if we ever implement index-only scans in GiST. To fix, require the index AM to explicitly provide the tupdesc for the tuple it is returning. btree can just pass back the index's tupdesc, but GiST will have to work harder when and if it supports index-only scans. I had previously proposed fixing this by allowing the index AM to fill the scan tuple slot directly; but on reflection that seemed like a module layering violation, since TupleTableSlots are creatures of the executor. At least in the btree case, it would also be less efficient, since the tuple deconstruction work would occur even for rows later found to be invisible to the scan's snapshot. <a target="_blank" href="http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/336c1d7a515b4d6de237679022d70082d7b69d9a">http://git.postgresql.org/pg/commitdiff/336c1d7a515b4d6de237679022d70082d7b69d9a</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>Correctifs rejet&eacute;s (&agrave; ce jour)</strong></p> <ul> <li>Pas de d&eacute;ception cette semaine&nbsp;:-)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Correctifs en attente</strong></p> <ul> <li>Fujii Masao sent in another revision of the patch to unite recovery.conf and postgresql.conf.</li> <li>Jun Ishiduka sent in four more revisions of the patch to allow taking a base backup from a hot standby.</li> <li>Kyotaro HORIGUCHI sent in another revision of the patch to fix the issue where make_greater_string() does not return a string in some cases.</li> <li>KaiGai Kohei sent in another revision of the patch to rework DROP to use a unified infrastructure.</li> <li>Heikki Linnakangas and Jeff Davis traded new revisions of the patch to add range types.</li> <li>Fujii Masao sent in another revision of a patch to fix some conditions wich can cause loss of transactions in streaming replication.</li> <li>Willy-Bas Loos sent in a patch to make it possible to record automatically the time a table is created.</li> <li>Florian Pflug sent in a patch to fix an issue in walsender when calling out to do_pg_stop_backup.</li> <li>Alexander Korotkov sent in another revision of the patch to collect frequency statistics for arrays.</li> <li>Jan Urbanski sent in a patch implementing the usage of SPI cursors in PL/Python.</li> <li>Kerem Kat sent in another revision of a patch adding CORRESPONDING set operations.</li> </ul>
