19 years agoChange seqscan logic so that we check visibility of all tuples on a page
Tom Lane [Sat, 26 Nov 2005 03:03:07 +0000 (03:03 +0000)]
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.

19 years agoTeach planner and executor to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr as an indexable
Tom Lane [Fri, 25 Nov 2005 19:47:50 +0000 (19:47 +0000)]
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.

19 years agoImprove ExecStoreTuple to be smarter about replacing the contents of
Tom Lane [Fri, 25 Nov 2005 04:24:48 +0000 (04:24 +0000)]
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.
