20 *-------------------------------------------------------------------------
24 * Operator selectivity estimation functions are called to estimate the
25 * selectivity of WHERE clauses whose top-level operator is their operator.
26 * We divide the problem into two cases:
27 * Restriction clause estimation: the clause involves vars of just
29 * Join clause estimation: the clause involves vars of multiple rels.
30 * Join selectivity estimation is far more difficult and usually less accurate
31 * than restriction estimation.
33 * When dealing with the inner scan of a nestloop join, we consider the
34 * join's joinclauses as restriction clauses for the inner relation, and
35 * treat vars of the outer relation as parameters (a/k/a constants of unknown
36 * values). So, restriction estimators need to be able to accept an argument
37 * telling which relation is to be treated as the variable.
39 * The call convention for a restriction estimator (oprrest function) is
41 * Selectivity oprrest (PlannerInfo *root,
46 * root: general information about the query (rtable and RelOptInfo lists
47 * are particularly important for the estimator).
48 * operator: OID of the specific operator in question.
49 * args: argument list from the operator clause.
50 * varRelid: if not zero, the relid (rtable index) of the relation to
51 * be treated as the variable relation. May be zero if the args list
52 * is known to contain vars of only one relation.
54 * This is represented at the SQL level (in pg_proc) as
56 * float8 oprrest (internal, oid, internal, int4);
58 * The result is a selectivity, that is, a fraction (0 to 1) of the rows
59 * of the relation that are expected to produce a TRUE result for the
62 * The call convention for a join estimator (oprjoin function) is similar
63 * except that varRelid is not needed, and instead join information is
66 * Selectivity oprjoin (PlannerInfo *root,
70 * SpecialJoinInfo *sjinfo);
72 * float8 oprjoin (internal, oid, internal, int2, internal);
74 * (Before Postgres 8.4, join estimators had only the first four of these
75 * parameters. That signature is still allowed, but deprecated.) The
76 * relationship between jointype and sjinfo is explained in the comments for
77 * clause_selectivity() --- the short version is that jointype is usually
78 * best ignored in favor of examining sjinfo.
80 * Join selectivity for regular inner and outer joins is defined as the
81 * fraction (0 to 1) of the cross product of the relations that is expected
82 * to produce a TRUE result for the given operator. For both semi and anti
83 * joins, however, the selectivity is defined as the fraction of the left-hand
84 * side relation's rows that are expected to have a match (ie, at least one
85 * row with a TRUE result) in the right-hand side.
87 * For both oprrest and oprjoin functions, the operator's input collation OID
88 * (if any) is passed using the standard fmgr mechanism, so that the estimator
89 * function can fetch it with PG_GET_COLLATION(). Note, however, that all
90 * statistics in pg_statistic are currently built using the database's default
91 * collation. Thus, in most cases where we are looking at statistics, we
92 * should ignore the actual operator collation and use DEFAULT_COLLATION_OID.
93 * We expect that the error induced by doing this is usually not large enough
94 * to justify complicating matters.

3223 * pgset - NULL, or a List** pointing to a grouping set to filter the

3226 * Given the lack of any cross-correlation statistics in the system, it's
3227 * impossible to do anything really trustworthy with GROUP BY conditions
3228 * involving multiple Vars. We should however avoid assuming the worst
3229 * case (all possible cross-product terms actually appear as groups) since
3230 * very often the grouped-by Vars are highly correlated. Our current approach
3232 * 1. Expressions yielding boolean are assumed to contribute two groups,
3233 * independently of their content, and are ignored in the subsequent
3234 * steps. This is mainly because tests like "col IS NULL" break the
3235 * heuristic used in step 2 especially badly.
3236 * 2. Reduce the given expressions to a list of unique Vars used. For
3237 * example, GROUP BY a, a + b is treated the same as GROUP BY a, b.
3238 * It is clearly correct not to count the same Var more than once.
3239 * It is also reasonable to treat f(x) the same as x: f() cannot
3240 * increase the number of distinct values (unless it is volatile,
3241 * which we consider unlikely for grouping), but it probably won't
3242 * reduce the number of distinct values much either.
3243 * As a special case, if a GROUP BY expression can be matched to an
3244 * expressional index for which we have statistics, then we treat the
3245 * whole expression as though it were just a Var.
3246 * 3. If the list contains Vars of different relations that are known equal
3247 * due to equivalence classes, then drop all but one of the Vars from each
3248 * known-equal set, keeping the one with smallest estimated # of values
3249 * (since the extra values of the others can't appear in joined rows).
3250 * Note the reason we only consider Vars of different relations is that
3251 * if we considered ones of the same rel, we'd be double-counting the
3252 * restriction selectivity of the equality in the next step.
3253 * 4. For Vars within a single source rel, we multiply together the numbers
3254 * of values, clamp to the number of rows in the rel (divided by 10 if
3255 * more than one Var), and then multiply by a factor based on the
3256 * selectivity of the restriction clauses for that rel. When there's
3257 * more than one Var, the initial product is probably too high (it's the
3258 * worst case) but clamping to a fraction of the rel's rows seems to be a
3259 * helpful heuristic for not letting the estimate get out of hand. (The
3260 * factor of 10 is derived from pre-Postgres-7.4 practice.) The factor
3261 * we multiply by to adjust for the restriction selectivity assumes that
3262 * the restriction clauses are independent of the grouping, which may not
3263 * be a valid assumption, but it's hard to do better.
3264 * 5. If there are Vars from multiple rels, we repeat step 4 for each such
3265 * rel, and multiply the results together.
3266 * Note that rels not containing grouped Vars are ignored completely, as are
3267 * join clauses. Such rels cannot increase the number of groups, and we
3268 * assume such clauses do not reduce the number either (somewhat bogus,
3269 * but we don't have the info to do better).

5832 * and "9" is seen as largest by the collation, and append that to the given
5833 * prefix before trying to find a string that compares as larger.
5835 * To search for a greater string, we repeatedly "increment" the rightmost
5836 * character, using an encoding-specific character incrementer function.
5837 * When it's no longer possible to increment the last character, we truncate
5838 * off that character and start incrementing the next-to-rightmost.
5839 * For example, if "z" were the last character in the sort order, then we
5840 * could produce "foo" as a string greater than "fonz".
5842 * This could be rather slow in the worst case, but in most cases we
5843 * won't have to try more than one or two strings before succeeding.
