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 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 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 * alias Vars are expanded to non-aliased form during preprocess_expression. * * Parts of this data structure are specific to various scan and join * mechanisms. It didn't seem worth creating new node types for them. * * relids - Set of base-relation identifiers; it is a base relation * if there is just one, a join relation if more than one * rows - estimated number of tuples in the relation after restriction * 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) * consider_startup - true if there is any value in keeping plain paths for * this rel on the basis of having cheap startup cost * consider_param_startup - the same for parameterized paths * 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 an appendrel child relation, may contain * arbitrary expressions pulled up from a subquery! * pathlist - List of Path nodes, one for each potentially useful * method of generating the relation * ppilist - ParamPathInfo nodes for parameterized Paths, if any * cheapest_startup_path - the pathlist member with lowest startup cost * (regardless of ordering) among the unparameterized paths; * or NULL if there is no unparameterized path * cheapest_total_path - the pathlist member with lowest total cost * (regardless of ordering) among the unparameterized paths; * or if there is no unparameterized path, the path with lowest * total cost among the paths with minimum parameterization * cheapest_unique_path - for caching cheapest path to produce unique * (no duplicates) output from relation; NULL if not yet requested * cheapest_parameterized_paths - best paths for their parameterizations; * always includes cheapest_total_path, even if that's unparameterized * direct_lateral_relids - rels this rel has direct LATERAL references to * lateral_relids - required outer rels for LATERAL, as a Relids set * (includes both direct and indirect lateral references) * * If the relation is a base relation it will have these fields set: * * relid - RTE index (this is redundant with the relids field, but * is provided for convenience of access) * rtekind - distinguishes plain relation, subquery, or function RTE * min_attr, max_attr - range of valid AttrNumbers for rel * attr_needed - array of bitmapsets indicating the highest joinrel * in which each attribute is needed; if bit 0 is set then * the attribute is needed as part of final targetlist * attr_widths - cache space for per-attribute width estimates; * zero means not computed yet * lateral_vars - lateral cross-references of rel, if any (list of * Vars and PlaceHolderVars) * lateral_referencers - relids of rels that reference this one laterally * (includes both direct and indirect lateral references) * indexlist - list of IndexOptInfo nodes for relation's indexes * (always NIL if it's not a table) * pages - number of disk pages in relation (zero if not a table) * tuples - number of tuples in relation (not considering restrictions) * allvisfrac - fraction of disk pages that are marked all-visible * subplan - plan for subquery (NULL if it's not a subquery) * subroot - PlannerInfo for subquery (NULL if it's not a subquery) * subplan_params - list of PlannerParamItems to be passed to subquery * * Note: for a subquery, tuples, subplan, subroot are not set immediately * upon creation of the RelOptInfo object; they are filled in when * set_subquery_pathlist processes the object. * * For otherrels that are appendrel members, these fields are filled * in just as for a baserel, except we don't bother with lateral_vars. * * If the relation is either a foreign table or a join of foreign tables that * all belong to the same foreign server, these fields will be set: * * serverid - OID of foreign server, if foreign table (else InvalidOid) * fdwroutine - function hooks for FDW, if foreign table (else NULL) * fdw_private - private state for FDW, if foreign table (else NULL) * * 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 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) * 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 * * Note: Keeping a restrictinfo list in the RelOptInfo is useful only for * base rels, because for a join rel the set of clauses that are treated as * restrict clauses varies depending on which sub-relations we choose to join. * (For example, in a 3-base-rel join, a clause relating rels 1 and 2 must be * treated as a restrictclause if we join {1} and {2 3} to make {1 2 3}; but * if we join {1 2} and {3} then that clause will be a restrictclause in {1 2} * 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 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. *---------- */ typedef enum RelOptKind { RELOPT_BASEREL, RELOPT_JOINREL, RELOPT_OTHER_MEMBER_REL, RELOPT_DEADREL } RelOptKind; typedef struct RelOptInfo { NodeTag type; RelOptKind reloptkind; /* all relations included in this RelOptInfo */ Relids relids; /* set of base relids (rangetable indexes) */ /* size estimates generated by planner */ double rows; /* estimated number of result tuples */ int width; /* estimated avg width of result tuples */ /* per-relation planner control flags */ bool consider_startup; /* keep cheap-startup-cost paths?

The joininfo lists are * used to drive join tree building by selecting plausible join candidates. * The clause cannot actually be applied until we have built a join rel * containing all the base rels it references, however. * * When we construct a join rel that includes all the base rels referenced * in a multi-relation restriction clause, we place that clause into the * joinrestrictinfo lists of paths for the join rel, if neither left nor * right sub-path includes all base rels referenced in the clause. The clause * will be applied at that join level, and will not propagate any further up * the join tree. (Note: the "predicate migration" code was once intended to * push restriction clauses up and down the plan tree based on evaluation * costs, but it's dead code and is unlikely to be resurrected in the * foreseeable future.) * * Note that in the presence of more than two rels, a multi-rel restriction * might reach different heights in the join tree depending on the join * sequence we use. So, these clauses cannot be associated directly with * the join RelOptInfo, but must be kept track of on a per-join-path basis. * * RestrictInfos that represent equivalence conditions (i.e., mergejoinable * equalities that are not outerjoin-delayed) are handled a bit differently. * Initially we attach them to the EquivalenceClasses that are derived from * them. When we construct a scan or join path, we look through all the * EquivalenceClasses and generate derived RestrictInfos representing the * minimal set of conditions that need to be checked for this particular scan * or join to enforce that all members of each EquivalenceClass are in fact * equal in all rows emitted by the scan or join. * * When dealing with outer joins we have to be very careful about pushing qual * clauses up and down the tree. An outer join's own JOIN/ON conditions must * be evaluated exactly at that join node, unless they are "degenerate" * 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 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 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 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?) * * 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 an outer_relids field, which is NULL except for outer join * clauses; for those, it is the set of relids on the outer side of the * clause's outer join. (These are rels that the clause cannot be applied to * in parameterized scans, since pushing it into the join's outer side would * lead to wrong answers.) * * There is also a nullable_relids field, which is the set of rels the clause * 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 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 * their selectivity when estimating the result tuple count, if we * can guess what it is...) * * When the referenced clause is an OR clause, we generate a modified copy * in which additional RestrictInfo nodes are inserted below the top-level * 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.

The PHV * will have phlevelsup = 0, and the contained expression is adjusted * to match in level. * * An Aggref (with an expression tree representing its argument): the slot * 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. * * Note: we detect duplicate Var and PlaceHolderVar parameters and coalesce * them into one slot, but we do not bother to do that for Aggrefs. * The scope of duplicate-elimination only extends across the set of * parameters passed from one query level into a single subquery, or for * nestloop parameters across the set of nestloop parameters used in a single * query level. So there is no possibility of a PARAM_EXEC slot being used * for conflicting purposes. * * In addition, PARAM_EXEC slots are assigned for Params representing outputs * from subplans (values that are setParam items for those subplans). These * IDs need not be tracked via PlannerParamItems, since we do not need any * duplicate-elimination nor later processing of the represented expressions. * Instead, we just record the assignment of the slot number by incrementing * root->glob->nParamExec. */ typedef struct PlannerParamItem { NodeTag type; Node *item; /* the Var, PlaceHolderVar, or Aggref */ int paramId; /* its assigned PARAM_EXEC slot number */ } PlannerParamItem; /* * When making cost estimates for a SEMI or ANTI join, there are some * correction factors that are needed in both nestloop and hash joins * to account for the fact that the executor can stop scanning inner rows * as soon as it finds a match to the current outer row.
