4ab76b1c20 Tweak hash join code to use an additional heuristic for deciding whether
it's worth probing the outer relation for emptiness before building the
hash table.  To wit, if we're rescanning a join previously performed,
remember whether we found it nonempty the previous time, and don't bother
with the probe if it was nonempty.  This buys back the performance lost
in examples like Mario Weilguni's.

b79cb1eea1 Recent changes to allow hash join to exit early given empty input from
one child or the other had a problem: they did not leave the node in a
state that ExecReScanHashJoin would understand.  In particular it would
tend to fail to reset the child plans when needed.  Per report from
Mario Weilguni.

3d376fce8d Change the parser to translate "foo [NOT] IN (expression-list)" to
ScalarArrayOpExpr when possible, that is, whenever there is an array type
for the values of the expression list.  This completes the project I've
been working on to improve the speed of index searches with long IN lists,
as per discussion back in mid-October.

I did not force initdb, but until you do one you will see failures in the
"rules" regression test, because some of the standard system views use IN
and their compiled formats have changed.

8a9acd3c41 Teach predtest.c how to reason about ScalarArrayOpExpr clauses as though
they were broken-out AND or OR lists.  The least grotty way to do this
seemed to be to set up a general mechanism for handling nodes as though
they were ANDs or ORs.  There's no other immediate use for it, but perhaps
we might want to use the mechanism someday for things like BETWEEN
SYMMETRIC.

da27c0a1ef Teach tid-scan code to make use of "ctid = ANY (array)" clauses, so that
"ctid IN (list)" will still work after we convert IN to ScalarArrayOpExpr.
Make some minor efficiency improvements while at it, such as ensuring that
multiple TIDs are fetched in physical heap order.  And fix EXPLAIN so that
it shows what's really going on for a TID scan.

70f1482de3 Change seqscan logic so that we check visibility of all tuples on a page
when we first read the page, rather than checking them one at a time.
This allows us to take and release the buffer content lock just once
per page, instead of once per tuple.  Since it's a shared lock the
contention penalty for holding the lock longer shouldn't be too bad.
We can safely do this only when using an MVCC snapshot; else the
assumption that visibility won't change over time is uncool.  Therefore
there are now two code paths depending on the snapshot type.  I also
made the same change in nodeBitmapHeapscan.c, where it can be done always
because we only support MVCC snapshots for bitmap scans anyway.
Also make some incidental cleanups in the APIs of these functions.
Per a suggestion from Qingqing Zhou.

290166f934 Teach planner and executor to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr as an indexable
qualification when the underlying operator is indexable and useOr is true.
That is, indexkey op ANY (ARRAY[...]) is effectively translated into an
OR combination of one indexscan for each array element.  This only works
for bitmap index scans, of course, since regular indexscans no longer
support OR'ing of scans.  There are still some loose ends to clean up
before changing 'x IN (list)' to translate as a ScalarArrayOpExpr;
for instance predtest.c ought to be taught about it.  But this gets the
basic functionality in place.

dab52ab13d Improve ExecStoreTuple to be smarter about replacing the contents of
a TupleTableSlot: instead of calling ExecClearTuple, inline the needed
operations, so that we can avoid redundant steps.  In particular, when
the old and new tuples are both on the same disk page, avoid releasing
and re-acquiring the buffer pin --- this saves work in both the bufmgr
and ResourceOwner modules.  To make this improvement actually useful,
partially revert a change I made on 2004-04-21 that caused SeqNext
et al to call ExecClearTuple before ExecStoreTuple.  The motivation
for that, to avoid grabbing the BufMgrLock separately for releasing
the old buffer and grabbing the new one, no longer applies.  My
profiling says that this saves about 5% of the CPU time for an
all-in-memory seqscan.

4dd2048a47 Get rid of ExecAssignResultTypeFromOuterPlan() and make all plan node types
generate their output tuple descriptors from their target lists (ie, using
ExecAssignResultTypeFromTL()).  We long ago fixed things so that all node
types have minimally valid tlists, so there's no longer any good reason to
have two different ways of doing it.  This change is needed to fix bug
reported by Hayden James: the fix of 2005-11-03 to emit the correct column
names after optimizing away a SubqueryScan node didn't work if the new
top-level plan node used ExecAssignResultTypeFromOuterPlan to generate its
tupdesc, since the next plan node down won't have the correct column labels.

19ff959bff Fix problems with rewriter failing to set Query.hasSubLinks when inserting
a SubLink expression into a rule query.  Pre-8.1 we essentially did this
unconditionally; 8.1 tries to do it only when needed, but was missing a
couple of cases.  Per report from Kyle Bateman.  Add some regression test
cases covering this area.

cec3b0a9e6 Implement DROP OWNED and REASSIGN OWNED. These new commands facilitate the
process of dropping roles by dropping objects owned by them and privileges
granted to them, or giving the owned objects to someone else, through the
use of the data stored in the new pg_shdepend catalog.

Some refactoring of the GRANT/REVOKE code was needed, as well as ALTER OWNER
code.  Further cleanup of code duplication in the GRANT code seems necessary.

Implemented by me after an idea from Tom Lane, who also provided various kind
of implementation advice.

Regression tests pass.  Some tests for the new functionality are also added,
as well as rudimentary documentation.

c52795d18a Text parser rewritten:
- supports multibyte encodings
        - more strict rules for lexemes
        - flex isn't used
Add:
        - tsquery plainto_tsquery(text)
          Function makes tsquery from plain text.
        - &&, ||, !! operation for tsquery for combining
          tsquery from it's parts:  'foo & bar' || 'asd' => 'foo & bar | asd'

dd218ae7b0 Remove the t_datamcxt field of HeapTupleData. This was introduced for
the convenience of tuptoaster.c and is no longer needed, so may as well

40314f2dac Modify tuptoaster's API so that it does not try to modify the passed
tuple in-place, but instead passes back an all-new tuple structure if
any changes are needed.  This is a much cleaner and more robust solution
for the bug discovered by Alexey Beschiokov; accordingly, revert the
quick hack I installed yesterday.
With this change, HeapTupleData.t_datamcxt is no longer needed; will
remove it in a separate commit in HEAD only.

33a9af738d Stopgap solution for problem reported by Alexey Beschiokov: after
doing heap_insert or heap_update, wipe out any extracted fields in
the TupleTableSlot containing the tuple, because they might not be valid
anymore if tuptoaster.c changed the tuple.  Safe because slot must be
in the materialized state, but mighty ugly --- find a better answer!
