Formerly, query_planner returned one or possibly two Paths for the topmost join relation, so that grouping_planner didn't see the join RelOptInfo (at least not directly; it didn't have any hesitation about examining cheapest_path->parent, though). However, correct selection of the Paths involved a significant amount of coupling between query_planner and grouping_planner, a problem which has gotten worse over time. It seems best to give up on this API choice and instead return the topmost RelOptInfo explicitly. Then grouping_planner can pull out the Paths it wants from the rel's path list. In this way we can remove all knowledge of grouping behaviors from query_planner. The only real benefit of the old way is that in the case of an empty FROM clause, we never made any RelOptInfos at all, just a Path. Now we have to gin up a dummy RelOptInfo to represent the empty FROM clause. That's not a very big deal though. While at it, simplify query_planner's API a bit more by having the caller set up root->tuple_fraction and root->limit_tuples, rather than passing those values as separate parameters. Since query_planner no longer does anything with either value, requiring it to fill the PlannerInfo fields seemed pretty arbitrary. This patch just rearranges code; it doesn't (intentionally) change any behaviors. Followup patches will do more interesting things. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
