/*----------
* RelOptInfo
* Per-relation information for planning/optimization
* In either case it is uniquely identified by an RT index. A "joinrel"
* is the joining of two or more base rels. A joinrel is identified by
* the set of RT indexes for its component baserels. We create RelOptInfo
- * nodes for each baserel and joinrel, and store them in the Query's
- * base_rel_list and join_rel_list respectively.
+ * nodes for each baserel and joinrel, and store them in the PlannerInfo's
+ * simple_rel_array and join_rel_list respectively.
*
* Note that there is only one joinrel for any given set of component
* baserels, no matter what order we assemble them in; so an unordered
* set is the right datatype to identify it with.
*
* We also have "other rels", which are like base rels in that they refer to
- * single RT indexes; but they are not part of the join tree, and are stored
- * in other_rel_list not base_rel_list.
- *
- * Currently the only kind of otherrels are those made for child relations
- * of an inheritance scan (SELECT FROM foo*). The parent table's RTE and
- * corresponding baserel represent the whole result of the inheritance scan.
- * The planner creates separate RTEs and associated RelOptInfos for each child
- * table (including the parent table, in its capacity as a member of the
- * inheritance set). These RelOptInfos are physically identical to baserels,
- * but are otherrels because they are not in the main join tree. These added
- * RTEs and otherrels are used to plan the scans of the individual tables in
- * the inheritance set; then the parent baserel is given an Append plan
- * comprising the best plans for the individual child tables.
+ * single RT indexes; but they are not part of the join tree, and are given
+ * a different RelOptKind to identify them. Lastly, there is a RelOptKind
+ * for "dead" relations, which are base rels that we have proven we don't
+ * need to join after all.
+ *
+ * Currently the only kind of otherrels are those made for member relations
+ * of an "append relation", that is an inheritance set or UNION ALL subquery.
+ * An append relation has a parent RTE that is a base rel, which represents
+ * the entire append relation. The member RTEs are otherrels. The parent
+ * is present in the query join tree but the members are not. The member
+ * RTEs and otherrels are used to plan the scans of the individual tables or
+ * subqueries of the append set; then the parent baserel is given Append
+ * and/or MergeAppend paths comprising the best paths for the individual
+ * member rels. (See comments for AppendRelInfo for more information.)
*
* At one time we also made otherrels to represent join RTEs, for use in
* handling join alias Vars. Currently this is not needed because all join
* clauses have been applied (ie, output rows of a plan for it)
* width - avg. number of bytes per tuple in the relation after the
* appropriate projections have been done (ie, output width)
- * reltargetlist - List of Var nodes for the attributes we need to
- * output from this relation (in no particular order)
- * NOTE: in a child relation, may contain RowExprs
+ * reltargetlist - List of Var and PlaceHolderVar nodes for the values
+ * we need to output from this relation.
+ * List is in no particular order, but all rels of an
+ * appendrel set must use corresponding orders.
+ * NOTE: in a child relation, may contain RowExpr or
+ * ConvertRowtypeExpr representing a whole-row Var.
* pathlist - List of Path nodes, one for each potentially useful
* method of generating the relation
* cheapest_startup_path - the pathlist member with lowest startup cost
* pages - number of disk pages in relation (zero if not a table)
* tuples - number of tuples in relation (not considering restrictions)
* subplan - plan for subquery (NULL if it's not a subquery)
+ * subrtable - rangetable for subquery (NIL if it's not a subquery)
+ * subrowmark - rowmarks for subquery (NIL if it's not a subquery)
*
* Note: for a subquery, tuples and subplan are not set immediately
* upon creation of the RelOptInfo object; they are filled in when
* set_base_rel_pathlist processes the object.
*
- * For otherrels that are inheritance children, these fields are filled
+ * For otherrels that are appendrel members, these fields are filled
* in just as for a baserel.
*
* The presence of the remaining fields depends on the restrictions
* and joins that the relation participates in:
*
* baserestrictinfo - List of RestrictInfo nodes, containing info about
- * each qualification clause in which this relation
+ * each non-join qualification clause in which this relation
* participates (only used for base rels)
* baserestrictcost - Estimated cost of evaluating the baserestrictinfo
* clauses at a single tuple (only used for base rels)
- * outerjoinset - For a base rel: if the rel appears within the nullable
- * side of an outer join, the set of all relids
- * participating in the highest such outer join; else NULL.
- * Otherwise, unused.
- * joininfo - List of JoinInfo nodes, containing info about each join
- * clause in which this relation participates
+ * joininfo - List of RestrictInfo nodes, containing info about each
+ * join clause in which this relation participates (but
+ * note this excludes clauses that might be derivable from
+ * EquivalenceClasses)
+ * has_eclass_joins - flag that EquivalenceClass joins are possible
* index_outer_relids - only used for base rels; set of outer relids
* that participate in indexable joinclauses for this rel
* index_inner_paths - only used for base rels; list of InnerIndexscanInfo
* and should not be processed again at the level of {1 2 3}.) Therefore,
* the restrictinfo list in the join case appears in individual JoinPaths
* (field joinrestrictinfo), not in the parent relation. But it's OK for
- * the RelOptInfo to store the joininfo lists, because those are the same
+ * the RelOptInfo to store the joininfo list, because that is the same
* for a given rel no matter how we form it.
*
* We store baserestrictcost in the RelOptInfo (for base relations) because
* we know we will need it at least once (to price the sequential scan)
* and may need it multiple times to price index scans.
- *
- * outerjoinset is used to ensure correct placement of WHERE clauses that
- * apply to outer-joined relations; we must not apply such WHERE clauses
- * until after the outer join is performed.

- * PathKeys

+ *
+ * Whenever we can determine that a mergejoinable equality clause A = B is

+ * equivalence B = C, we add C to the existing EquivalenceClass; this may
+ * require merging two existing EquivalenceClasses. At the end of the qual
+ * distribution process, we have sets of values that are known all transitively
+ * equal to each other, where "equal" is according to the rules of the btree
+ * operator family(s) shown in ec_opfamilies. (We restrict an EC to contain
+ * only equalities whose operators belong to the same set of opfamilies. This
+ * could probably be relaxed, but for now it's not worth the trouble, since
+ * nearly all equality operators belong to only one btree opclass anyway.)
+ *
+ * We also use EquivalenceClasses as the base structure for PathKeys, letting
+ * us represent knowledge about different sort orderings being equivalent.
+ * Since every PathKey must reference an EquivalenceClass, we will end up
+ * with single-member EquivalenceClasses whenever a sort key expression has
+ * not been equivalenced to anything else. It is also possible that such an
+ * EquivalenceClass will contain a volatile expression ("ORDER BY random()"),
+ * which is a case that can't arise otherwise since clauses containing
+ * volatile functions are never considered mergejoinable. We mark such
+ * EquivalenceClasses specially to prevent them from being merged with
+ * ordinary EquivalenceClasses. Also, for volatile expressions we have
+ * to be careful to match the EquivalenceClass to the correct targetlist
+ * entry: consider SELECT random() AS a, random() AS b ... ORDER BY b,a.
+ * So we record the SortGroupRef of the originating sort clause.
+ *
+ * We allow equality clauses appearing below the nullable side of an outer join

*
+ * RestrictInfos that represent equivalence conditions (i.e., mergejoinable

+ * Initially we attach them to the EquivalenceClasses that are derived from

+ * equal in all rows emitted by the scan or join.
+ *
* When dealing with outer joins we have to be very careful about pushing qual

- * be evaluated exactly at that join node, and any quals appearing in WHERE or
- * in a JOIN above the outer join cannot be pushed down below the outer join.
- * Otherwise the outer join will produce wrong results because it will see the
- * wrong sets of input rows. All quals are stored as RestrictInfo nodes
- * during planning, but there's a flag to indicate whether a qual has been

+ * conditions that reference only Vars from the nullable side of the join.
+ * Quals appearing in WHERE or in a JOIN above the outer join cannot be pushed
+ * down below the outer join, if they reference any nullable Vars.
+ * RestrictInfo nodes contain a flag to indicate whether a qual has been
* pushed down to a lower level than its original syntactic placement in the
* join tree would suggest. If an outer join prevents us from pushing a qual
* down to its "natural" semantic level (the level associated with just the
- * base rels used in the qual) then the qual will appear in JoinInfo lists
- * that reference more than just the base rels it actually uses. By
- * pretending that the qual references all the rels appearing in the outer
+ * base rels used in the qual) then we mark the qual with a "required_relids"
+ * value including more than just the base rels it actually uses. By
+ * pretending that the qual references all the rels required to form the outer
* join, we prevent it from being evaluated below the outer join's joinrel.
* When we do form the outer join's joinrel, we still need to distinguish
* those quals that are actually in that join's JOIN/ON condition from those
- * that appeared higher in the tree and were pushed down to the join rel
+ * that appeared elsewhere in the tree and were pushed down to the join rel
* because they used no other rels. That's what the is_pushed_down flag is
- * for; it tells us that a qual came from a point above the join of the
- * specific set of base rels that it uses (or that the JoinInfo structures
- * claim it uses). A clause that originally came from WHERE will *always*
- * have its is_pushed_down flag set; a clause that came from an INNER JOIN
- * condition, but doesn't use all the rels being joined, will also have
- * is_pushed_down set because it will get attached to some lower joinrel.
+ * for; it tells us that a qual is not an OUTER JOIN qual for the set of base
+ * rels listed in required_relids. A clause that originally came from WHERE
+ * or an INNER JOIN condition will *always* have its is_pushed_down flag set.
+ * It's possible for an OUTER JOIN clause to be marked is_pushed_down too,
+ * if we decide that it can be pushed down into the nullable side of the join.
+ * In that case it acts as a plain filter qual for wherever it gets evaluated.
+ * (In short, is_pushed_down is only false for non-degenerate outer join
+ * conditions. Possibly we should rename it to reflect that meaning?)
*
- * We also store a valid_everywhere flag, which says that the clause is not
- * affected by any lower-level outer join, and therefore any conditions it
- * asserts can be presumed true throughout the plan tree.
+ * RestrictInfo nodes also contain an outerjoin_delayed flag, which is true
+ * if the clause's applicability must be delayed due to any outer joins
+ * appearing below it (ie, it has to be postponed to some join level higher
+ * than the set of relations it actually references). There is also a
+ * nullable_relids field, which is the set of rels it references that can be
+ * forced null by some outer join below the clause. outerjoin_delayed = true
+ * is subtly different from nullable_relids != NULL: a clause might reference
+ * some nullable rels and yet not be outerjoin_delayed because it also
+ * references all the other rels of the outer join(s). A clause that is not
+ * outerjoin_delayed can be enforced anywhere it is computable.
*
* In general, the referenced clause might be arbitrarily complex. The
* kinds of clauses we can handle as indexscan quals, mergejoin clauses,
- * or hashjoin clauses are fairly limited --- the code for each kind of
- * path is responsible for identifying the restrict clauses it can use
- * and ignoring the rest. Clauses not implemented by an indexscan,
+ * or hashjoin clauses are limited (e.g., no volatile functions). The code
+ * for each kind of path is responsible for identifying the restrict clauses
+ * it can use and ignoring the rest. Clauses not implemented by an indexscan,
* mergejoin, or hashjoin will be placed in the plan qual or joinqual field
* of the finished Plan node, where they will be enforced by general-purpose
* qual-expression-evaluation code. (But we are still entitled to count
* OR/AND structure. This is a convenience for OR indexscan processing:
* indexquals taken from either the top level or an OR subclause will have
* associated RestrictInfo nodes.
+ *
+ * The can_join flag is set true if the clause looks potentially useful as
+ * a merge or hash join clause, that is if it is a binary opclause with
+ * nonoverlapping sets of relids referenced in the left and right sides.
+ * (Whether the operator is actually merge or hash joinable isn't checked,
+ * however.)
+ *
+ * The pseudoconstant flag is set true if the clause contains no Vars of
+ * the current query level and no volatile functions. Such a clause can be
+ * pulled out and used as a one-time qual in a gating Result node. We keep
+ * pseudoconstant clauses in the same lists as other RestrictInfos so that
+ * the regular clause-pushing machinery can assign them to the correct join
+ * level, but they need to be treated specially for cost and selectivity
+ * estimates. Note that a pseudoconstant clause can never be an indexqual
+ * or merge or hash join clause, so it's of no interest to large parts of
+ * the planner.
+ *
+ * When join clauses are generated from EquivalenceClasses, there may be
+ * several equally valid ways to enforce join equivalence, of which we need
+ * apply only one. We mark clauses of this kind by setting parent_ec to

+ * Note that we just throw all the structs into one list, and scan the
+ * whole list when desiring to expand any one parent. We could have used
+ * a more complex data structure (eg, one list per parent), but this would
+ * be harder to update during operations such as pulling up subqueries,
+ * and not really any easier to scan. Considering that typical queries
+ * will not have many different append parents, it doesn't seem worthwhile
+ * to complicate things.
+ *
+ * Note: after completion of the planner prep phase, any given RTE is an
+ * append parent having entries in append_rel_list if and only if its
+ * "inh" flag is set. We clear "inh" for plain tables that turn out not
+ * to have inheritance children, and (in an abuse of the original meaning
+ * of the flag) we set "inh" for subquery RTEs that turn out to be
+ * flattenable UNION ALL queries. This lets us avoid useless searches
+ * of append_rel_list.
+ *
+ * Note: the data structure assumes that append-rel members are single
+ * baserels. This is OK for inheritance, but it prevents us from pulling
+ * up a UNION ALL member subquery if it contains a join. While that could
+ * be fixed with a more complex data structure, at present there's not much
+ * point because no improvement in the plan could result.

+ * above the outer join, it's not going to be allowed to drop below the outer
+ * join, so we would come to the same conclusions about join order even if
+ * we had the final ph_needed value to compare to.

+ * represents an aggregate expression that is an outer reference for some
+ * subquery. The Aggref itself has agglevelsup = 0, and its argument tree
+ * is adjusted to match in level.
+ *
+ * A Param: the slot holds the result of a subplan (it is a setParam item
+ * for that subplan). The absolute level shown for such items corresponds
+ * to the parent query of the subplan.
+ *
+ * Note: we detect duplicate Var parameters and coalesce them into one slot,
