2025-02-25Eliminate code duplication in replace_rte_variables callbacksRichard Guo
The callback functions ReplaceVarsFromTargetList_callback and pullup_replace_vars_callback are both used to replace Vars in an expression tree that reference a particular RTE with items from a targetlist, and they both need to expand whole-tuple references and deal with OLD/NEW RETURNING list Vars. As a result, currently there is significant code duplication between these two functions. This patch introduces a new function, ReplaceVarFromTargetList, to perform the replacement and calls it from both callback functions, thereby eliminating code duplication.

2025-02-25Expand virtual generated columns in the plannerRichard Guo
Commit 83ea6c540 added support for virtual generated columns that are computed on read. All Var nodes in the query that reference virtual generated columns must be replaced with the corresponding generation expressions. Currently, this replacement occurs in the rewriter. However, this approach has several issues. If a Var referencing a virtual generated column has any varnullingrels, those varnullingrels need to be propagated into the generation expression. Failing to do so can lead to "wrong varnullingrels" errors and improper outer-join removal. Additionally, if such a Var comes from the nullable side of an outer join, we may need to wrap the generation expression in a PlaceHolderVar to ensure that it is evaluated at the right place and hence is forced to null when the outer join should do so. In certain cases, such as when the query uses grouping sets, we also need a PlaceHolderVar for anything that is not a simple Var to isolate subexpressions. Failure to do so can result in incorrect results. To fix these issues, this patch expands the virtual generated columns in the planner rather than in the rewriter, and leverages the pullup_replace_vars architecture to avoid code duplication. The generation expressions will be correctly marked with nullingrel bits and wrapped in PlaceHolderVars when needed by the pullup_replace_vars callback function. This requires handling the OLD/NEW RETURNING list Vars in pullup_replace_vars_callback, as it may now deal with Vars referencing the result relation instead of a subquery. The "wrong varnullingrels" error was reported by Alexander Lakhin. The incorrect result issue and the improper outer-join removal issue were reported by Richard Guo.

2025-02-17Implement Self-Join EliminationAlexander Korotkov
The Self-Join Elimination (SJE) feature removes an inner join of a plain table to itself in the query tree if it is proven that the join can be replaced with a scan without impacting the query result. Self-join and inner relation get replaced with the outer in query, equivalence classes, and planner info structures. Also, the inner restrictlist moves to the outer one with the removal of duplicated clauses. Thus, this optimization reduces the length of the range table list (this especially makes sense for partitioned relations), reduces the number of restriction clauses and, in turn, selectivity estimations, and potentially improves total planner prediction for the query. This feature is dedicated to avoiding redundancy, which can appear after pull-up transformations or the creation of an EquivalenceClass-derived clause like the below. SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE x IN (SELECT t3.x FROM t1 t3); SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE EXISTS (SELECT t3.x FROM t1 t3 WHERE t3.x = t1.x); SELECT * FROM t1,t2, t1 t3 WHERE t1.x = t2.x AND t2.x = t3.x; In the future, we could also reduce redundancy caused by subquery pull-up after unnecessary outer join removal in cases like the one below. SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE x IN (SELECT t3.x FROM t1 t3 LEFT JOIN t2 ON t2.x = t1.x); Also, it can drastically help to join partitioned tables, removing entries even before their expansion. The SJE proof is based on innerrel_is_unique() machinery. We can remove a self-join when for each outer row: 1. At most, one inner row matches the join clause; 2. Each matched inner row must be (physically) the same as the outer one; 3. Inner and outer rows have the same row mark. In this patch, we use the next approach to identify a self-join: 1. Collect all merge-joinable join quals which look like a.x = b.x; 2. Add to the list above the baseretrictinfo of the inner table; 3. Check innerrel_is_unique() for the qual list. If it returns false, skip this pair of joining tables; 4. Check uniqueness, proved by the baserestrictinfo clauses. To prove the possibility of self-join elimination, the inner and outer clauses must match exactly. The relation replacement procedure is not trivial and is partly combined with the one used to remove useless left joins. Tests covering this feature were added to join.sql. Some of the existing regression tests changed due to self-join removal logic.

2025-02-07Virtual generated columnsPeter Eisentraut
This adds a new variant of generated columns that are computed on read (like a view, unlike the existing stored generated columns, which are computed on write, like a materialized view). The syntax for the column definition is ... GENERATED ALWAYS AS (...) VIRTUAL and VIRTUAL is also optional. VIRTUAL is the default rather than STORED to match various other SQL products. (The SQL standard makes no specification about this, but it also doesn't know about VIRTUAL or STORED.) (Also, virtual views are the default, rather than materialized views.) Virtual generated columns are stored in tuples as null values. (A very early version of this patch had the ambition to not store them at all. But so much stuff breaks or gets confused if you have tuples where a column in the middle is completely missing. This is a compromise, and it still saves space over being forced to use stored generated columns. If we ever find a way to improve this, a bit of pg_upgrade cleverness could allow for upgrades to a newer scheme.) The capabilities and restrictions of virtual generated columns are mostly the same as for stored generated columns. In some cases, this patch keeps virtual generated columns more restricted than they might technically need to be, to keep the two kinds consistent. Some of that could maybe be relaxed later after separate careful considerations. Some functionality that is currently not supported, but could possibly be added as incremental features, some easier than others: - index on or using a virtual column - hence also no unique constraints on virtual columns - extended statistics on virtual columns - foreign-key constraints on virtual columns - not-null constraints on virtual columns (check constraints are supported) - ALTER TABLE / DROP EXPRESSION - virtual column cannot have domain type - virtual columns are not supported in logical replication The tests in generated_virtual.sql have been copied over from generated_stored.sql with the keyword replaced. This way we can make sure the behavior is mostly aligned, and the differences can be visible. Some tests for currently not supported features are currently commented out.

2025-01-16Add OLD/NEW support to RETURNING in DML queries.Dean Rasheed
This allows the RETURNING list of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE/MERGE queries to explicitly return old and new values by using the special aliases "old" and "new", which are automatically added to the query (if not already defined) while parsing its RETURNING list, allowing things like: RETURNING old.colname, new.colname, ... RETURNING old.*, new.* Additionally, a new syntax is supported, allowing the names "old" and "new" to be changed to user-supplied alias names, e.g.: RETURNING WITH (OLD AS o, NEW AS n) o.colname, n.colname, ... This is useful when the names "old" and "new" are already defined, such as inside trigger functions, allowing backwards compatibility to be maintained -- the interpretation of any existing queries that happen to already refer to relations called "old" or "new", or use those as aliases for other relations, is not changed. For an INSERT, old values will generally be NULL, and for a DELETE, new values will generally be NULL, but that may change for an INSERT with an ON CONFLICT ... DO UPDATE clause, or if a query rewrite rule changes the command type. Therefore, we put no restrictions on the use of old and new in any DML queries.

An auto-updatable view must not have any INSTEAD OF triggers. Mixing auto-update and trigger-update actions (i.e., having a partial set of INSTEAD OF triggers) is not supported.

2023-10-26Add trailing commas to enum definitionsPeter Eisentraut
Since C99, there can be a trailing comma after the last value in an enum definition. A lot of new code has been introducing this style on the fly. Some new patches are now taking an inconsistent approach to this. Some add the last comma on the fly if they add a new last value, some are trying to preserve the existing style in each place, some are even dropping the last comma if there was one. We could nudge this all in a consistent direction if we just add the trailing commas everywhere once. I omitted a few places where there was a fixed "last" value that will always stay last. I also skipped the header files of libpq and ecpg, in case people want to use those with older compilers. There were also a small number of cases where the enum type wasn't used anywhere (but the enum values were), which ended up confusing pgindent a bit, so I left those alone.

2023-01-30Make Vars be outer-join-aware.Tom Lane
Traditionally we used the same Var struct to represent the value of a table column everywhere in parse and plan trees. This choice predates our support for SQL outer joins, and it's really a pretty bad idea with outer joins, because the Var's value can depend on where it is in the tree: it might go to NULL above an outer join. So expression nodes that are equal() per equalfuncs.c might not represent the same value, which is a huge correctness hazard for the planner. To improve this, decorate Var nodes with a bitmapset showing which outer joins (identified by RTE indexes) may have nulled them at the point in the parse tree where the Var appears. This allows us to trust that equal() Vars represent the same value. A certain amount of klugery is still needed to cope with cases where we re-order two outer joins, but it's possible to make it work without sacrificing that core principle. PlaceHolderVars receive similar decoration for the same reason. In the planner, we include these outer join bitmapsets into the relids that an expression is considered to depend on, and in consequence also add outer-join relids to the relids of join RelOptInfos. This allows us to correctly perceive whether an expression can be calculated above or below a particular outer join. This change affects FDWs that want to plan foreign joins. They *must* follow suit when labeling foreign joins in order to match with the core planner, but for many purposes (if postgres_fdw is any guide) they'd prefer to consider only base relations within the join. To support both requirements, redefine ForeignScan.fs_relids as base+OJ relids, and add a new field fs_base_relids that's set up by the core planner. Large though it is, this commit just does the minimum necessary to install the new mechanisms and get check-world passing again. Follow-up patches will perform some cleanup. (The README additions and comments mention some stuff that will appear in the follow-up.) Patch by me; thanks to Richard Guo for review.

2023-01-05Fix calculation of which GENERATED columns need to be updated.Tom Lane
We were identifying the updatable generated columns of inheritance children by transposing the calculation made for their parent. However, there's nothing that says a traditional-inheritance child can't have generated columns that aren't there in its parent, or that have different dependencies than are in the parent's expression. (At present it seems that we don't enforce that for partitioning either, which is likely wrong to some degree or other; but the case clearly needs to be handled with traditional inheritance.) Hence, drop the very-klugy-anyway "extraUpdatedCols" RTE field in favor of identifying which generated columns depend on updated columns during executor startup. In HEAD we can remove extraUpdatedCols altogether; in back branches, it's still there but always empty. Another difference between the HEAD and back-branch versions of this patch is that in HEAD we can add the new bitmap field to ResultRelInfo, but that would cause an ABI break in back branches. Like 4b3e37993, add a List field at the end of struct EState instead. Back-patch to v13. The bogus calculation is also being made in v12, but it doesn't have the same visible effect because we don't use it to decide which generated columns to recalculate; as a consequence of which the patch doesn't apply easily. I think that there might still be a demonstrable bug associated with trigger firing conditions, but that's such a weird corner-case usage that I'm content to leave it unfixed in v12.

2022-12-06Rework query relation permission checkingAlvaro Herrera
Currently, information about the permissions to be checked on relations mentioned in a query is stored in their range table entries. So the executor must scan the entire range table looking for relations that need to have permissions checked. This can make the permission checking part of the executor initialization needlessly expensive when many inheritance children are present in the range range. While the permissions need not be checked on the individual child relations, the executor still must visit every range table entry to filter them out. This commit moves the permission checking information out of the range table entries into a new plan node called RTEPermissionInfo. Every top-level (inheritance "root") RTE_RELATION entry in the range table gets one and a list of those is maintained alongside the range table. This new list is initialized by the parser when initializing the range table. The rewriter can add more entries to it as rules/views are expanded. Finally, the planner combines the lists of the individual subqueries into one flat list that is passed to the executor for checking. To make it quick to find the RTEPermissionInfo entry belonging to a given relation, RangeTblEntry gets a new Index field 'perminfoindex' that stores the corresponding RTEPermissionInfo's index in the query's list of the latter. ExecutorCheckPerms_hook has gained another List * argument; the signature is now: typedef bool (*ExecutorCheckPerms_hook_type) (List *rangeTable, List *rtePermInfos, bool ereport_on_violation); The first argument is no longer used by any in-core uses of the hook, but we leave it in place because there may be other implementations that do. Implementations should likely scan the rtePermInfos list to determine which operations to allow or deny.

2021-03-31Rework planning and execution of UPDATE and DELETE.Tom Lane
This patch makes two closely related sets of changes: 1. For UPDATE, the subplan of the ModifyTable node now only delivers the new values of the changed columns (i.e., the expressions computed in the query's SET clause) plus row identity information such as CTID. ModifyTable must re-fetch the original tuple to merge in the old values of any unchanged columns. The core advantage of this is that the changed columns are uniform across all tables of an inherited or partitioned target relation, whereas the other columns might not be. A secondary advantage, when the UPDATE involves joins, is that less data needs to pass through the plan tree. The disadvantage of course is an extra fetch of each tuple to be updated. However, that seems to be very nearly free in context; even worst-case tests don't show it to add more than a couple percent to the total query cost. At some point it might be interesting to combine the re-fetch with the tuple access that ModifyTable must do anyway to mark the old tuple dead; but that would require a good deal of refactoring and it seems it wouldn't buy all that much, so this patch doesn't attempt it. 2. For inherited UPDATE/DELETE, instead of generating a separate subplan for each target relation, we now generate a single subplan that is just exactly like a SELECT's plan, then stick ModifyTable on top of that. To let ModifyTable know which target relation a given incoming row refers to, a tableoid junk column is added to the row identity information. This gets rid of the horrid hack that was inheritance_planner(), eliminating O(N^2) planning cost and memory consumption in cases where there were many unprunable target relations. Point 2 of course requires point 1, so that there is a uniform definition of the non-junk columns to be returned by the subplan. We can't insist on uniform definition of the row identity junk columns however, if we want to keep the ability to have both plain and foreign tables in a partitioning hierarchy. Since it wouldn't scale very far to have every child table have its own row identity column, this patch includes provisions to merge similar row identity columns into one column of the subplan result. In particular, we can merge the whole-row Vars typically used as row identity by FDWs into one column by pretending they are type RECORD. (It's still okay for the actual composite Datums to be labeled with the table's rowtype OID, though.) There is more that can be done to file down residual inefficiencies in this patch, but it seems to be committable now. FDW authors should note several API changes: * The argument list for AddForeignUpdateTargets() has changed, and so has the method it must use for adding junk columns to the query. Call add_row_identity_var() instead of manipulating the parse tree directly. You might want to reconsider exactly what you're adding, too. * PlanDirectModify() must now work a little harder to find the ForeignScan plan node; if the foreign table is part of a partitioning hierarchy then the ForeignScan might not be the direct child of ModifyTable. See postgres_fdw for sample code. * To check whether a relation is a target relation, it's no longer sufficient to compare its relid to root->parse->resultRelation. Instead, check it against all_result_relids or leaf_result_relids, as appropriate.

2020-10-28Calculate extraUpdatedCols in query rewriter, not parser.Tom Lane
It's unsafe to do this at parse time because addition of generated columns to a table would not invalidate stored rules containing UPDATEs on the table ... but there might now be dependent generated columns that were not there when the rule was made. This also fixes an oversight that rewriteTargetView failed to update extraUpdatedCols when transforming an UPDATE on an updatable view. (Since the new calculation is downstream of that, rewriteTargetView doesn't actually need to do anything; but before, there was a demonstrable bug there.) In v13 and HEAD, this leads to easily-visible bugs because (since commit c6679e4fc) we won't recalculate generated columns that aren't listed in extraUpdatedCols. In v12 this bitmap is mostly just used for trigger-firing decisions, so you'd only notice a problem if a trigger cared whether a generated column had been updated. I'd complained about this back in May, but then forgot about it until bug #16671 from Michael Paul Killian revived the issue. Back-patch to v12 where this field was introduced. If existing stored rules contain any extraUpdatedCols values, they'll be ignored because the rewriter will overwrite them, so the bug will be fixed even for existing rules. (But note that if someone were to update to 13.1 or 12.5, store some rules with UPDATEs on tables having generated columns, and then downgrade to a prior minor version, they might observe issues similar to what this patch fixes. That seems unlikely enough to not be worth going to a lot of effort to fix.)

2019-12-18Refactor attribute mappings used in logical tuple conversionMichael Paquier
Tuple conversion support in tupconvert.c is able to convert rowtypes between two relations, inner and outer, which are logically equivalent but have a different ordering or even dropped columns (used mainly for inheritance tree and partitions). This makes use of attribute mappings, which are simple arrays made of AttrNumber elements with a length matching the number of attributes of the outer relation. The length of the attribute mapping has been treated as completely independent of the mapping itself until now, making it easy to pass down an incorrect mapping length. This commit refactors the code related to attribute mappings and moves it into an independent facility called attmap.c, extracted from tupconvert.c. This merges the attribute mapping with its length, avoiding to try to guess what is the length of a mapping to use as this is computed once, when the map is built. This will avoid mistakes like what has been fixed in dc816e58, which has used an incorrect mapping length by matching it with the number of attributes of an inner relation (a child partition) instead of an outer relation (a partitioned table).

2019-11-21Defend against self-referential views in relation_is_updatable().Tom Lane
While a self-referential view doesn't actually work, it's possible to create one, and it turns out that this breaks some of the information_schema views. Those views call relation_is_updatable(), which neglected to consider the hazards of being recursive. In older PG versions you get a "stack depth limit exceeded" error, but since v10 it'd recurse to the point of stack overrun and crash, because commit a4c35ea1c took out the expression_returns_set() call that was incidentally checking the stack depth. Since this function is only used by information_schema views, it seems like it'd be better to return "not updatable" than suffer an error. Hence, add tracking of what views we're examining, in just the same way that the nearby fireRIRrules() code detects self-referential views. I added a check_stack_depth() call too, just to be defensive. Per private report from Manuel Rigger. Back-patch to all supported versions.

2018-04-12Revert MERGE patchSimon Riggs
This reverts commits d204ef63776b8a00ca220adec23979091564e465, 83454e3c2b28141c0db01c7d2027e01040df5249 and a few more commits thereafter (complete list at the end) related to MERGE feature. While the feature was fully functional, with sufficient test coverage and necessary documentation, it was felt that some parts of the executor and parse-analyzer can use a different design and it wasn't possible to do that in the available time. So it was decided to revert the patch for PG11 and retry again in the future. Thanks again to all reviewers and bug reporters.

2018-04-03MERGE SQL Command following SQL:2016Simon Riggs
MERGE performs actions that modify rows in the target table using a source table or query. MERGE provides a single SQL statement that can conditionally INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE rows a task that would other require multiple PL statements. e.g. MERGE INTO target AS t USING source AS s ON t.tid = s.sid WHEN MATCHED AND t.balance > s.delta THEN UPDATE SET balance = t.balance - s.delta WHEN MATCHED THEN DELETE WHEN NOT MATCHED AND s.delta > 0 THEN INSERT VALUES (s.sid, s.delta) WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN DO NOTHING; MERGE works with regular and partitioned tables, including column and row security enforcement, as well as support for row, statement and transition triggers. MERGE is optimized for OLTP and is parameterizable, though also useful for large scale ETL/ELT. MERGE is not intended to be used in preference to existing single SQL commands for INSERT, UPDATE or DELETE since there is some overhead. MERGE can be used statically from PL/pgSQL. MERGE does not yet support inheritance, write rules, RETURNING clauses, updatable views or foreign tables. MERGE follows SQL Standard per the most recent SQL:2016. Includes full tests and documentation, including full isolation tests to demonstrate the concurrent behavior. This version written from scratch in 2017 by Simon Riggs, using docs and tests originally written in 2009. Later work from Pavan Deolasee has been both complex and deep, leaving the lead author credit now in his hands.

2017-11-27Fix creation of resjunk tlist entries for inherited mixed UPDATE/DELETE.Tom Lane
rewriteTargetListUD's processing is dependent on the relkind of the query's target table. That was fine at the time it was made to act that way, even for queries on inheritance trees, because all tables in an inheritance tree would necessarily be plain tables. However, the 9.5 feature addition allowing some members of an inheritance tree to be foreign tables broke the assumption that rewriteTargetListUD's output tlist could be applied to all child tables with nothing more than column-number mapping. This led to visible failures if foreign child tables had row-level triggers, and would also break in cases where child tables belonged to FDWs that used methods other than CTID for row identification. To fix, delay running rewriteTargetListUD until after the planner has expanded inheritance, so that it is applied separately to the (already mapped) tlist for each child table. We can conveniently call it from preprocess_targetlist. Refactor associated code slightly to avoid the need to heap_open the target relation multiple times during preprocess_targetlist. (The APIs remain a bit ugly, particularly around the point of which steps scribble on parse->targetList and which don't. But avoiding such scribbling would require a change in FDW callback APIs, which is more pain than it's worth.) Also fix ExecModifyTable to ensure that "tupleid" is reset to NULL when we transition from rows providing a CTID to rows that don't. (That's really an independent bug, but it manifests in much the same cases.) Add a regression test checking one manifestation of this problem, which was that row-level triggers on a foreign child table did not work right. Back-patch to 9.5 where the problem was introduced.

2017-06-21Phase 3 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Don't move parenthesized lines to the left, even if that means they flow past the right margin. By default, BSD indent lines up statement continuation lines that are within parentheses so that they start just to the right of the preceding left parenthesis. However, traditionally, if that resulted in the continuation line extending to the right of the desired right margin, then indent would push it left just far enough to not overrun the margin, if it could do so without making the continuation line start to the left of the current statement indent. That makes for a weird mix of indentations unless one has been completely rigid about never violating the 80-column limit. This behavior has been pretty universally panned by Postgres developers. Hence, disable it with indent's new -lpl switch, so that parenthesized lines are always lined up with the preceding left paren. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-06-21Phase 2 of pgindent updates.Tom Lane
Change pg_bsd_indent to follow upstream rules for placement of comments to the right of code, and remove pgindent hack that caused comments following #endif to not obey the general rule. Commit e3860ffa4dd0dad0dd9eea4be9cc1412373a8c89 wasn't actually using the published version of pg_bsd_indent, but a hacked-up version that tried to minimize the amount of movement of comments to the right of code. The situation of interest is where such a comment has to be moved to the right of its default placement at column 33 because there's code there. BSD indent has always moved right in units of tab stops in such cases --- but in the previous incarnation, indent was working in 8-space tab stops, while now it knows we use 4-space tabs. So the net result is that in about half the cases, such comments are placed one tab stop left of before. This is better all around: it leaves more room on the line for comment text, and it means that in such cases the comment uniformly starts at the next 4-space tab stop after the code, rather than sometimes one and sometimes two tabs after. Also, ensure that comments following #endif are indented the same as comments following other preprocessor commands such as #else. That inconsistency turns out to have been self-inflicted damage from a poorly-thought-through post-indent "fixup" in pgindent. This patch is much less interesting than the first round of indent changes, but also bulkier, so I thought it best to separate the effects.

2017-06-21Initial pgindent run with pg_bsd_indent version 2.0.Tom Lane
The new indent version includes numerous fixes thanks to Piotr Stefaniak. The main changes visible in this commit are: * Nicer formatting of function-pointer declarations. * No longer unexpectedly removes spaces in expressions using casts, sizeof, or offsetof. * No longer wants to add a space in "struct structname *varname", as well as some similar cases for const- or volatile-qualified pointers. * Declarations using PG_USED_FOR_ASSERTS_ONLY are formatted more nicely. * Fixes bug where comments following declarations were sometimes placed with no space separating them from the code. * Fixes some odd decisions for comments following case labels. * Fixes some cases where comments following code were indented to less than the expected column 33. On the less good side, it now tends to put more whitespace around typedef names that are not listed in typedefs.list. This might encourage us to put more effort into typedef name collection; it's not really a bug in indent itself. There are more changes coming after this round, having to do with comment indentation and alignment of lines appearing within parentheses. I wanted to limit the size of the diffs to something that could be reviewed without one's eyes completely glazing over, so it seemed better to split up the changes as much as practical.

2016-12-05Add support for restrictive RLS policiesStephen Frost
We have had support for restrictive RLS policies since 9.5, but they were only available through extensions which use the appropriate hooks. This adds support into the grammer, catalog, psql and pg_dump for restrictive RLS policies, thus reducing the cases where an extension is necessary. In passing, also move away from using "AND"d and "OR"d in comments. As pointed out by Alvaro, it's not really appropriate to attempt to make verbs out of "AND" and "OR", so reword those comments which attempted to.

2015-09-15RLS refactoringStephen Frost
This refactors rewrite/rowsecurity.c to simplify the handling of the default deny case (reducing the number of places where we check for and add the default deny policy from three to one) by splitting up the retrival of the policies from the application of them. This also allowed us to do away with the policy_id field. A policy_name field was added for WithCheckOption policies and is used in error reporting, when available. Patch by Dean Rasheed, with various mostly cosmetic changes by me. Back-patch to 9.5 where RLS was introduced to avoid unnecessary differences, since we're still in alpha, per discussion with Robert.

2015-05-20Collection of typo fixes.Heikki Linnakangas
Use "a" and "an" correctly, mostly in comments. Two error messages were also fixed (they were just elogs, so no translation work required). Two function comments in pg_proc.h were also fixed. Etsuro Fujita reported one of these, but I found a lot more with grep. Also fix a few other typos spotted while grepping for the a/an typos. For example, "consists out of ..." -> "consists of ...". Plus a "though"/ "through" mixup reported by Euler Taveira. Many of these typos were in old code, which would be nice to backpatch to make future backpatching easier. But much of the code was new, and I didn't feel like crafting separate patches for each branch. So no backpatching.
2015-05-08Add support for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING/UPDATE.Andres Freund
The newly added ON CONFLICT clause allows to specify an alternative to raising a unique or exclusion constraint violation error when inserting. ON CONFLICT refers to constraints that can either be specified using a inference clause (by specifying the columns of a unique constraint) or by naming a unique or exclusion constraint. DO NOTHING avoids the constraint violation, without touching the pre-existing row. DO UPDATE SET ... [WHERE ...] updates the pre-existing tuple, and has access to both the tuple proposed for insertion and the existing tuple; the optional WHERE clause can be used to prevent an update from being executed. The UPDATE SET and WHERE clauses have access to the tuple proposed for insertion using the "magic" EXCLUDED alias, and to the pre-existing tuple using the table name or its alias. This feature is often referred to as upsert. This is implemented using a new infrastructure called "speculative insertion". It is an optimistic variant of regular insertion that first does a pre-check for existing tuples and then attempts an insert. If a violating tuple was inserted concurrently, the speculatively inserted tuple is deleted and a new attempt is made. If the pre-check finds a matching tuple the alternative DO NOTHING or DO UPDATE action is taken. If the insertion succeeds without detecting a conflict, the tuple is deemed inserted. To handle the possible ambiguity between the excluded alias and a table named excluded, and for convenience with long relation names, INSERT INTO now can alias its target table.
