Obsolete comment in partbounds.c
While reviewing the partitionwise-join patch, I noticed $Subject，ie, this in create_list_bounds(): /* * Never put a null into the values array, flag instead for * the code further down below where we construct the actual * relcache struct. */ if (null_index != -1) elog(ERROR, "found null more than once"); null_index = i; "the code further down below where we construct the actual relcache struct" isn't in the same file anymore by refactoring by commit b52b7dc25. How about modifying it like the attached? Best regards, Etsuro Fujita fix-obsolete-comment.patch Description: Binary data

That gave me another idea that would further reduce the bookkeeping
involved in creating new syscaches -- put declarations in the cache id
enum (syscache.h), like this:
#define DECLARE_SYSCACHE(cacheid,indexname,indexoid,numbuckets) cacheid
enum SysCacheIdentifier
{
DECLARE_SYSCACHE(AGGFNOID, pg_aggregate_fnoid_index,
AggregateFnoidIndexId, 16) = 0,
...
};

Looking at it again, the eq/hash functions are local and looked up via
GetCCHashEqFuncs(), but the runtime of that is surely miniscule, so I
left it alone.

I went ahead and did just enough to remove the relation-opening code.
Looking in the archives, I found this as a quick test:
echo '\set x 1' > x.txt
./inst/bin/pgbench -n -C -c 1 -f x.txt -T 10
Typical numbers:
master:
number of transactions actually processed: 4276
latency average = 2.339 ms
tps = 427.549137 (including connections establishing)
tps = 24082.726350 (excluding connections establishing)
patch:
number of transactions actually processed: 4436
latency average = 2.255 ms
tps = 443.492369 (including connections establishing)
tps = 21817.308410 (excluding connections establishing)
...which amounts to nearly 4% improvement in the first tps number,
which isn't earth-shattering, but it's something. Opinions? It
wouldn't be a lot of additional work to put together a WIP patch.

I'm confused by this report. The view wouldn't have any constraints, and experimenting shows that the parser won't let you name a constraint of the underlying table here. So would you provide a concrete example of what you're talking about? regards, tom lane

Subject: [PATCH] Fix base backup checksum verification for random or zero page
headers
We currently do not checksum a page if it is considered new by PageIsNew() or
if its pd_lsn page header field is larger than the LSN at the beginning of the
base backup. However, this means that if the whole page header is zero,
PageIsNew() will consider that page new due to the pd_upper field being zero
and no subsequent checksum verification is done. Also, a random value in the
pd_lsn field will very likely be larger than the LSN at backup start, again
resulting in the page not getting checksummed.
To fix, factor out the all-zeroes check from PageIsVerified() into a new method
PageIsZero() and call that for pages considered new by PageIsNew(). If a page
is all zero, consider that a checksum failure. Also check the pd_lsn field
against both the backup start pointer and the current pointer from
GetInsertRecPtr().
Add two more tests to the pg_basebackup TAP tests to check those errors.

Re: Partitioning versus autovacuum
At the risk of forking this thread... I think there's actually a planner estimation bug here too. Consider this test case of a simple partitioned table and a simple join. The cardinality estimates for each partition and the Append node are all perfectly accurate. But the estimate for the join is way off. The corresponding test case without partitioning produces a perfect cardinality estimate for the join. I've never completely wrapped my head around the planner selectivity estimations. IIRC join restrictions are treated differently from single-relation restrictions. Perhaps what's happening here is that the single-relation restrictions are being correctly estimated based on the child partitions but the join restriction code hasn't been taught the same tricks? stark=# create table p (i integer, j integer) partition by list (i); CREATE TABLE stark=# create table p0 partition of p for values in (0); CREATE TABLE stark=# create table p1 partition of p for values in (1); CREATE TABLE stark=# insert into p select 0,generate_series(1,1000); INSERT 0 1000 stark=# insert into p select 1,generate_series(1,1000); INSERT 0 1000 stark=# analyze p0; ANALYZE stark=# analyze p1; ANALYZE stark=# create table q (i integer); CREATE TABLE stark=# insert into q values (0); INSERT 0 1 stark=# analyze q; ANALYZE -- Query partitioned table, get wildly off row estimates for join stark=# explain analyze select * from q join p using (i) where j between 1 and 500; ┌─┐ │ QUERY PLAN │ ├─┤ │ Hash Join (cost=1.02..44.82 rows=5 width=8) (actual time=0.060..1.614 rows=500 loops=1)│ │ Hash Cond: (p0.i = q.i) │ │ -> Append (cost=0.00..40.00 rows=1000 width=8) (actual time=0.030..1.127 rows=1000 loops=1) │ │ -> Seq Scan on p0 (cost=0.00..20.00 rows=500 width=8) (actual time=0.029..0.440 rows=500 loops=1) │ │ Filter: ((j >= 1) AND (j <= 500)) │ │ Rows Removed by Filter: 500 │ │ -> Seq Scan on p1 (cost=0.00..20.00 rows=500 width=8) (actual time=0.018..0.461 rows=500 loops=1) │ │ Filter: ((j >= 1) AND (j <= 500)) │ │ Rows Removed by Filter: 500 │ │ -> Hash (cost=1.01..1.01 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.011..0.012 rows=1 loops=1) │ │ Buckets: 1024 Batches: 1 Memory Usage: 9kB │ │ -> Seq Scan on q (cost=0.00..1.01 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.005..0.006 rows=1 loops=1) │ │ Planning time: 0.713 ms │ │ Execution time: 1.743 ms │ └─┘ (14 rows) -- Query non-partitioned table get accurate row estimates for join stark=# create table pp as (Select * from p); SELECT 2000 stark=# analyze pp; ANALYZE stark=# explain analyze select * from q join pp using (i) where j between 1 and 500; ┌─┐ │ QUERY PLAN │ ├─┤ │ Hash Join (cost=1.02..48.77 rows=500 width=8) (actual time=0.027..0.412 rows=500 loops=1) │ │ Hash Cond: (pp.i = q.i) │ │ -> Seq Scan on pp (cost=0.00..39.00 rows=1000 width=8) (actual time=0.014..0.243 rows=1000 loops=1) │ │ Filter: ((j >= 1) AND (j <= 500)) │ │ Rows Removed by Filter: 1000 │ │ -> Hash (cost=1.01..1.01 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.005..0.005 rows=1 loops=1) │ │ Buckets: 1024 Batches: 1 Memory Usage: 9kB │ │ -> Seq Scan on q (cost=0.00..1.01 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.003..0.003 rows=1 loops=1) │ │ Planning time: 0.160 ms │ │ Execution time: 0.456 ms │ └─┘ (10 rows)

Yeah, agreed. Instead of "the null comes from" I would use "the
partition that stores nulls".
While reviewing your patch I noticed a few places where we use an odd
pattern in switches, which can be simplified as shown here.

That's not unproblematic - a dynamic limit would make a number of computations more expensive, and we already spend plenty CPU cycles building the tid bitmap.

I think if it becomes a problem you should ask for an rmgr ID to use for your extension, which we encode and then then allow to set the relevant rmgr callbacks for that rmgr id at startup. But you should obviously first develop the WAL logging etc, and make sure it's beneficial over generic wal logging for your case. Greetings, Andres Freund

I think it will be good if we keep this structure in a common place so that
the client can also use it.
3.

+SEND_FILES_CONTENT,
Can above two commands renamed to SEND_BACKUP_MANIFEST and SEND_BACKUP_FILE
respectively?
The reason behind the first name change is, we are not getting only file
lists
here instead we are getting a few more details with that too. And for
others,
it will be inline with START_BACKUP/STOP_BACKUP/SEND_BACKUP_MANIFEST.

Add Change Badges to documentation
Attached is a patch to implement change badges in our documentation.
What's a change badge? It's my term for a visual cue in the documentation
used to indicate that the nearby section of documentation is new in this
version or otherwise changed from the previous version.
One example of change badges being used is in the DocBook documentation
reference:
https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/4.5/ref-elements.html#common.attributes
Docbook used graphical badges, which seemed to be a bad idea. Instead, I
went with a decorated text span like one finds in gmail labels or Reddit
"flair".
The badges are implemented via using the "revision" attribute available on
all docbook tags. All one needs to do to indicate a change is to change one
tag, and add a revision attribute. For example:
will add a small green text box with the tex "new in 13" immediately
preceding the rendered elements. I have attached a screenshot
(badges_in_acronyms.png) of an example of this from my browser viewing
changes to the acronyms.html file. This obviously lacks the polish of
viewing the page on a full website, but it does give you an idea of the
flexibility of the change badge, and where badge placement is (and is not)
a good idea.
What are the benefits of using this?
I think the benefits are as follows:
1. It shows a casual user what pieces are new on that page (new functions,
new keywords, new command options, etc).
2. It also works in the negative: a user can quickly skim a page, and
lacking any badges, feel confident that everything there works in the way
that it did in version N-1.
3. It also acts as a subtle cue for the user to click on the previous
version to see what it used to look like, confident that there *will* be a
difference on the previous version.
How would we implement this?
1. All new documentation pages would get a "NEW" badge in their title.
2. New function definitions, new command options, etc would get a "NEW"
badge as visually close to the change as is practical.
3. Changes to existing functions, options, etc. would get a badge of
"UPDATED"
4. At major release time, we could do one of two things:
4a. We could keep the NEW/UPDATED badges in the fixed release version, and
then completely remove them from the master, because for version N+1, they
won't be new anymore. This can be accomplished with an XSL transform
looking for any tag with the "revision" attribute
4b. We could code in the version number at release time, and leave it in
place. So in version 14 you could find both "v13" and "v14" badges, and in
version 15 you could find badges for 15, 14, and 13. At some point (say
v17), we start retiring the v13 badges, and in v18 we'd retire the v14
badges, and so on, to keep the clutter to a minimum.
Back to the patch:
I implemented this only for html output, and the colors I chose are very
off-brand for postgres, so that will have to change. There's probably some
spacing/padding issues I haven't thought of. Please try it out, make some
modifications to existing document pages to see how badges would work in
those contexts.

I tested this and it looks good to me. Maybe you could omit some
redundant 'end' checks, as in the attached patch. Or was your intention
to verify non-NULL 'end'?

We have around 650 tests on ruby-pg to ensure everything runs as
expected and I always wondered how the API of libpq is being verified.

Well, yes, but that code originates from much earlier. For example 2a63c1602d9d (Tom Lane, Oct. 2004) is the one that created the libpq ones. But even that ancient one seems to be just refactoring some stuff that was already there, namely something that seems to have been created by commit 53cd7cd8a916: commit 53cd7cd8a9168d4b2e2feb52129336429cc99b98 Author: Bruce Momjian AuthorDate: Tue Mar 9 04:53:37 2004 + CommitDate: Tue Mar 9 04:53:37 2004 + Make a separate win32 debug DLL along with the non-debug version: Currently, src/interfaces/libpq/win32.mak builds a statically-linked library "libpq.lib", a debug dll "libpq.dll", import library for the debug dll "libpqdll.lib", a release dll "libpq.dll", import library for the release dll "libpqdll.lib". To avoid naming clashes, I would make the debug dll and import libraries "libpqd.dll" and "libpqddll.lib". Basically, the debug build uses the cl flags: "/MDd /D _DEBUG", and the release build uses the cl flags "/MD /D NDEBUG". Usually the debug build has a "D" suffix on the file name, so for example: libpqd.dll libpq, debug build libpqd.lib libpq, debug build, import library libpq.dll libpq, release build libpq.lib libpq, release build, import library David Turner This stuff was used by win32.mak, but I don't know if that tells anyone anything. -- Álvaro Herrerahttps://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

I realize that I need to don some fireproof gear for suggesting this,
but I really wonder how much fallout we'd have from just allowing {} to
be used.. It's about a billion[1] times cleaner and more sensible than
using {0} and doesn't create a dependency on what the first element of
the struct is..

So I'll implement ShmZoneContext by reference it. >Generation context manages chunks having almost same life span. >ShmZoneContext would dsa_allocate() block and hand out chunks and free chunks >and >its block all together. I added ShmZoneContext to my patch. I haven't added detailed comments and test set, so let me explain how to use it here. I followed Thomas' suggestion. At start up, ShmZoneContext is created in shared memory by ShmZoneContextCreateOrigin(). Before allocating memory, another context is created and set to short-lived parent context via MemoryContextClone() so that objects and contexts are automatically freed. Then you can use, palloc() which returns chunk from dsa_allocated block. When you use MemoryContextSetParent() to long-lived ShmContext, you need to acquire lock to protect parent-child path. The LWLock object is get by ShmZoneContextGetLock(). Every cloned ShmZoneContext uses the same lock instance. If you want to free allocated object, use MemoryContextDelete(). After the context becomes long-lived, you need to get lock again to do MemoryContextDelete() in order to protect MemoryContext parent-child path. Thinking about use case of Shared RelCache/PlanCache, allocation happens only before the parent context is switch to long-lived shared one, so I think we don't need to take lock while palloc(). I also think MemoryContextDelete() should be done after allocated objects are deleted from some shared index structure (ex. hash table or list in shared memory) so that another process can take a look at it What do you think?

Here is a simple example of what I mean: test=# CREATE TEMP TABLE foo (id int primary key); CREATE TABLE test=# \d foo Table "pg_temp_4.foo" Column | Type | Collation | Nullable | Default +-+---+--+- id | integer | | not null | Indexes: "foo_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (id) test=# CREATE VIEW bar AS SELECT * FROM foo; NOTICE: view "bar" will be a temporary view CREATE VIEW test=# INSERT INTO foo (id) test-# VALUES (1) test-# ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT foo_pkey test-# DO NOTHING; INSERT 0 1 test=# INSERT INTO foo (id) VALUES (1) ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT foo_pkey DO NOTHING; INSERT 0 0 test=# INSERT INTO foo (id) VALUES (1) ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT foo_pkey DO NOTHING; INSERT 0 0 test=# INSERT INTO bar (id) VALUES (1) ON CONFLICT ON CONSTRAINT foo_pkey DO NOTHING; ERROR: constraint "foo_pkey" for table "bar" does not exist test=# INSERT INTO bar (id) VALUES (1) ON CONFLICT (id) DO NOTHING; INSERT 0 0 Of interest are the last 2 statements above. ON CONFLICT on the constraint name does not work, but it does work by field name. I'm not saying it *should* work both ways, but I'm more wondering if this is known/expected/desired behavior. The point of interest for us is that we frequently preserve a table's "public API" by instead swapping out a table for a view as above, in order for instance to rebuild a table behind the scenes without breaking table usage. Above case is a rare example where that doesn't work, and which in any case I advise (as does the docs) that they do not use on conflict on constraint, but rather to list the field names instead.

I believe the desire to avoid depending on "sed" at build time was focused on our old support for building libpq with Borland C (and not much else). Since this makefile infrastructure is now only used for MinGW, I agree we ought to be able to quit shipping those files in tarballs. I think there could be some .gitignore cleanup done along with this. Notably, I see exclusions for /exports.list in several places, but no other references to that name --- isn't that an intermediate file that we used to generate while creating these files? regards, tom lane

Right, that's basically what I was trying to ask. :)

The first case looks perfectly normal to me: there is no "foo_pkey" constraint associated with the "bar" view. It is interesting that the second case drills down to find there's an underlying constraint, but that seems like a bit of a hack :-(. Poking at it a little more closely, it seems like the first case involves a parse-time constraint lookup, while the second case postpones the lookup to plan time, and so the second case works because the view has already been expanded into a direct reference to the underlying table. Maybe it wasn't good to do those cases differently. I can't get too excited about it though. regards, tom lane
Re: Add Change Badges to documentation
On Fri, Oct 18, 2019 at 07:54:18AM -0400, Corey Huinker wrote: Attached is a patch to implement change badges in our documentation. What's a change badge? It's my term for a visual cue in the documentation used to indicate that the nearby section of documentation is new in this version or otherwise changed from the previous version. One example of change badges being used is in the DocBook documentation reference: https://tdg.docbook.org/tdg/4.5/ref-elements.html#common.attributes Docbook used graphical badges, which seemed to be a bad idea. Instead, I went with a decorated text span like one finds in gmail labels or Reddit "flair". Looks useful. I sometimes need to look at a command in version X and see what changed since version Y. Currently I do that by opening both pages and visually comparing them, so those badges make it easier. The badges are implemented via using the "revision" attribute available on all docbook tags. All one needs to do to indicate a change is to change one tag, and add a revision attribute. For example: will add a small green text box with the tex "new in 13" immediately preceding the rendered elements. I have attached a screenshot (badges_in_acronyms.png) of an example of this from my browser viewing changes to the acronyms.html file. This obviously lacks the polish of viewing the page on a full website, but it does give you an idea of the flexibility of the change badge, and where badge placement is (and is not) a good idea. What are the benefits of using this? I think the benefits are as follows: 1. It shows a casual user what pieces are new on that page (new functions, new keywords, new command options, etc). Yep. 2. It also works in the negative: a user can quickly skim a page, and lacking any badges, feel confident that everything there works in the way that it did in version N-1. Not sure about this. It'd require marking all changes with the badge, but we'll presumably mark only the large-ish changes, and it's unclear where the threshold is. It also does not work when removing a block of text (e.g. when removing some limitation), although it's true we often add a new para too. 3. It also acts as a subtle cue for the user to click on the previous version to see what it used to look like, confident that there *will* be a difference on the previous version. How would we implement this? 1. All new documentation pages would get a "NEW" badge in their title. 2. New function definitions, new command options, etc would get a "NEW" badge as visually close to the change as is practical. 3. Changes to existing functions, options, etc. would get a badge of "UPDATED" 4. At major release time, we could do one of two things: 4a. We could keep the NEW/UPDATED badges in the fixed release version, and then completely remove them from the master, because for version N+1, they won't be new anymore. This can be accomplished with an XSL transform looking for any tag with the "revision" attribute 4b. We could code in the version number at release time, and leave it in place. So in version 14 you could find both "v13" and "v14" badges, and in version 15 you could find badges for 15, 14, and 13. At some point (say v17), we start retiring the v13 badges, and in v18 we'd retire the v14 badges, and so on, to keep the clutter to a minimum. Presumably we could keep the SGML source and only decide which badges to ignore during build of the docs. That would however require somewhat more structured approach - now it's a single attribute with free text, which does not really allow easy filtering. With separate attributes for new/removed bits, e.g. and the filtering would be much easier. But my experience with SGML is rather limited, so maybe I'm wrong. Back to the patch: I implemented this only for html output, and the colors I chose are very off-brand for postgres, so that will have to change. There's probably some spacing/padding issues I haven't thought of. Please try it out, make some modifications to existing document pages to see how badges would work in those contexts. Haven't looked yet, but I agree the colors might need a change - that's a rather minor detail, though. regards -- Tomas Vondra http://www.2ndQuadrant.com PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

It > is because gcc eliminates the PL_memory_wrap maybe by inlining. Yeah, probably so. But I don't like the idea of fixing a problem triggered by user-supplied CFLAGS by injecting more cflags from elsewhere. That seems likely to be counterproductive, or at least it risks overriding what the user wanted. Can we fix this by using something other than perl_alloc() as the tested-for function? That is surely a pretty arbitrary choice. Are there any standard Perl entry points that are just plain functions with no weird macro expansions? regards, tom lane
Re: Bug about drop index concurrently
Hi, I can trivially reproduce this - it's enough to create a master-standby setup, and then do this on the master CREATE TABLE t (a int, b int); INSERT INTO t SELECT i, i FROM generate_series(1,1) s(i); and run pgbench with this script DROP INDEX CONCURRENTLY IF EXISTS t_a_idx; CREATE INDEX t_a_idx ON t(a); while on the standby there's another pgbench running this script EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT * FROM t WHERE a = 1; and it fails pretty fast for me. With an extra assert(false) added to src/backend/access/common/relation.c I get a backtrace like this: Program terminated with signal SIGABRT, Aborted. #0 0x7c32e458fe35 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 Missing separate debuginfos, use: dnf debuginfo-install glibc-2.29-22.fc30.x86_64 (gdb) bt #0 0x7c32e458fe35 in raise () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #1 0x7c32e457a895 in abort () from /lib64/libc.so.6 #2 0x00a58579 in ExceptionalCondition (conditionName=0xacd9bc "!(0)", errorType=0xacd95b "FailedAssertion", fileName=0xacd950 "relation.c", lineNumber=64) at assert.c:54 #3 0x0048d1bd in relation_open (relationId=38216, lockmode=1) at relation.c:64 #4 0x005082e4 in index_open (relationId=38216, lockmode=1) at indexam.c:130 #5 0x0080ac3f in get_relation_info (root=0x21698b8, relationObjectId=16385, inhparent=false, rel=0x220ce60) at plancat.c:196 #6 0x008118c6 in build_simple_rel (root=0x21698b8, relid=1, parent=0x0) at relnode.c:292 #7 0x007d485d in add_base_rels_to_query (root=0x21698b8, jtnode=0x2169478) at initsplan.c:114 #8 0x007d48a3 in add_base_rels_to_query (root=0x21698b8, jtnode=0x21693e0) at initsplan.c:122 #9 0x007d8fad in query_planner (root=0x21698b8, qp_callback=0x7ded97 , qp_extra=0x7fffa4834f10) at planmain.c:168 #10 0x007dc316 in grouping_planner (root=0x21698b8, inheritance_update=false, tuple_fraction=0) at planner.c:2048 #11 0x007da7ca in subquery_planner (glob=0x220d078, parse=0x2168f78, parent_root=0x0, hasRecursion=false, tuple_fraction=0) at planner.c:1012 #12 0x007d942c in standard_planner (parse=0x2168f78, cursorOptions=256, boundParams=0x0) at planner.c:406 #13 0x007d91e8 in planner (parse=0x2168f78, cursorOptions=256, boundParams=0x0) at planner.c:275 #14 0x008e1b0d in pg_plan_query (querytree=0x2168f78, cursorOptions=256, boundParams=0x0) at postgres.c:878 #15 0x00658683 in ExplainOneQuery (query=0x2168f78, cursorOptions=256, into=0x0, es=0x220cd90, queryString=0x21407b8 "explain analyze select * from t where a = 1;", params=0x0, queryEnv=0x0) at explain.c:367 #16 0x00658386 in ExplainQuery (pstate=0x220cc28, stmt=0x2141728, queryString=0x21407b8 "explain analyze select * from t where a = 1;", params=0x0, queryEnv=0x0, dest=0x220cb90) at explain.c:255 #17 0x008ea218 in standard_ProcessUtility (pstmt=0x21425c0, queryString=0x21407b8 "explain analyze select * from t where a = 1;", context=PROCESS_UTILITY_TOPLEVEL, params=0x0, queryEnv=0x0, dest=0x220cb90, completionTag=0x7fffa48355c0 "") at utility.c:675 #18 0x008e9a45 in ProcessUtility (pstmt=0x21425c0, queryString=0x21407b8 "explain analyze select * from t where a = 1;", context=PROCESS_UTILITY_TOPLEVEL, params=0x0, queryEnv=0x0, dest=0x220cb90, completionTag=0x7fffa48355c0 "") at utility.c:360 #19 0x008e8a0c in PortalRunUtility (portal=0x219c278, pstmt=0x21425c0, isTopLevel=true, setHoldSnapshot=true, dest=0x220cb90, completionTag=0x7fffa48355c0 "") at pquery.c:1175 #20 0x008e871a in FillPortalStore (portal=0x219c278, isTopLevel=true) at pquery.c:1035 #21 0x008e8075 in PortalRun (portal=0x219c278, count=9223372036854775807, isTopLevel=true, run_once=true, dest=0x21efb90, altdest=0x21efb90, completionTag=0x7fffa48357b0 "") at pquery.c:765 #22 0x008e207c in exec_simple_query (query_string=0x21407b8 "explain analyze select * from t where a = 1;") at postgres.c:1215 #23 0x008e636e in PostgresMain (argc=1, argv=0x216c600, dbname=0x216c4e0 "test", username=0x213c3f8 "user") at postgres.c:4236 #24 0x0083c71e in BackendRun (port=0x2165850) at postmaster.c:4437 #25 0x0083beef in BackendStartup (port=0x2165850) at postmaster.c:4128 #26 0x00838313 in ServerLoop () at postmaster.c:1704 #27 0x00837bbf in PostmasterMain (argc=3, argv=0x213a360) at postmaster.c:1377 #28 0x00759643 in main (argc=3, argv=0x213a360) at main.c:228 So my guess is the root cause is pretty simple - we close/unlock the indexes after completing the query, but then EXPLAIN tries to open it again when producing the explain plan. I don't have a very good idea how to fix this, as explain has no idea which indexes will be used by the query, etc. regards -- Tomas Vondra http://www.2ndQuadrant.com Pos
Missing constant propagation in planner on hash quals causes join slowdown
Hi Hackers, By optimising our application I stumbled over the join quals used very often in our application. In general this concerns datasets, which are subdivided into chunks, like years, seasons (here half a year), multiple tenants in OLTP system etc. In these cases many tables are joined only to data of the same chunk, identified always by a separating column in the table (here: xx_season). (I tested it on PG 12.0 on Windows 64 bit, but similar results on older stable releases and other OS) Here is the test case, also in the attached file: (I choose to join 2 tables with 2 seasons (2 and 3) of about 1 million of records for every season.

This should be directed towards the hackers list, too.
What will it take to change the semantics of jsonb_set()? MySQL implements safe
behavior here. It's a real shame Postgres does not. I'll offer a $200 bounty to
whoever fixes it. I'm sure it's destroyed more than $200 worth of data and
people's time by now, but it's something.

Backport "WITH ... AS MATERIALIZED" syntax to <12?
I've been struggling with how we're going to upgrade launchpad.net to PostgreSQL 12 or newer (we're currently on 10). We're one of those applications that deliberately uses CTEs as optimization fences in a few difficult places. The provision of the MATERIALIZED keyword in 12 is great, but the fact that it doesn't exist in earlier versions is awkward. We certainly don't want to upgrade our application code at the same time as upgrading the database, and dealing with performance degradation between the database upgrade and the application upgrade doesn't seem great either (not to mention that it would be hard to coordinate). That leaves us with hacking our query compiler to add the MATERIALIZED keyword only if it's running on 12 or newer, which would be possible but is pretty cumbersome. However, an alternative would be to backport the new syntax to some earlier versions. "WITH ... AS MATERIALIZED" can easily just be synonymous with "WITH ... AS" in versions prior to 12; there's no need to support "NOT MATERIALIZED" since that's explicitly requesting the new query-folding feature that only exists in 12. Would something like the attached patch against REL_11_STABLE be acceptable? I'd like to backpatch it at least as far as PostgreSQL 10. This compiles and passes regression tests.

AS MATERIALIZED" syntax Applications that deliberately use CTEs as optimization fences need to adjust their code to prepare for PostgreSQL 12. Unfortunately, the MATERIALIZED keyword that they need to add isn't valid syntax in earlier versions of PostgreSQL, so they're stuck with either upgrading the application and the database simultaneously, accepting performance degradation between the two parts of the upgrade, or doing complex query compiler work to add MATERIALIZED conditionally. It makes things much easier in these cases if the MATERIALIZED keyword is accepted and ignored in earlier releases. Users can then upgrade to a suitable point release, change their application code to add MATERIALIZED, and then upgrade to PostgreSQL 12. --- doc/src/sgml/queries.sgml | 12 ++ doc/src/sgml/ref/select.sgml| 18 +- src/backend/parser/gram.y | 12 +++--- src/test/regress/expected/subselect.out | 31 + src/test/regress/sql/subselect.sql | 14 +++ 5 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/queries.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/queries.sgml index 88bc189646..cc33d92133 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/queries.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/queries.sgml @@ -2215,6 +2215,18 @@ SELECT n FROM t LIMIT 100; rows.) + + In some cases, PostgreSQL 12 folds + WITH queries into the parent query, allowing joint + optimization of the two query levels.
