Fix up foreign-key mechanism so that there is a sound semantic basis for the
equality checks it applies, instead of a random dependence on whatever
operators might be named "=". The equality operators will now be selected
from the opfamily of the unique index that the FK constraint depends on to
enforce uniqueness of the referenced columns; therefore they are certain to be
consistent with that index's notion of equality. Among other things this
should fix the problem noted awhile back that pg_dump may fail for foreign-key
constraints on user-defined types when the required operators aren't in the
search path. This also means that the former warning condition about "foreign
key constraint will require costly sequential scans" is gone: if the
comparison condition isn't indexable then we'll reject the constraint
entirely. All per past discussions.
Along the way, make the RI triggers look into pg_constraint for their
information, instead of using pg_trigger.tgargs; and get rid of the always
error-prone fixed-size string buffers in ri_triggers.c in favor of building up
the RI queries in StringInfo buffers.

Fix an ancient logic error in plpgsql's exec_stmt_block: it thought it could
get away with not (re)initializing a local variable if the variable is marked
"isconst" and not "isnull". Unfortunately it makes this decision after having
already freed the old value, meaning that something like
for i in 1..10 loop
declare c constant text := 'hi there';
leads to subsequent accesses to freed memory, and hence probably crashes.
(In particular, this is why Asif Ali Rehman's bug leads to crash and not
just an unexpectedly-NULL value for SQLERRM: SQLERRM is marked CONSTANT
and so triggers this error.)
The whole thing seems wrong on its face anyway: CONSTANT means that you can't
change the variable inside the block, not that the initializer expression is
guaranteed not to change value across successive block entries. Hence,
remove the "optimization" instead of trying to fix it.

Rearrange use of plpgsql_add_initdatums() so that only the parsing of a
DECLARE section needs to know about it. Formerly, everyplace besides DECLARE
that created variables needed to do "plpgsql_add_initdatums(NULL)" to prevent
those variables from being sucked up as part of a subsequent DECLARE block.
This is obviously error-prone, and in fact the SQLSTATE/SQLERRM patch had
failed to do it for those two variables, leading to the bug recently exhibited
by Asif Ali Rehman: a DECLARE within an exception handler tried to reinitialize
SQLERRM.
Although the SQLSTATE/SQLERRM patch isn't in any pre-8.1 branches, and so
I can't point to a demonstrable failure there, it seems wise to back-patch

Fix a performance regression in 8.2: optimization of MIN/MAX into indexscans
had stopped working for tables buried inside views or sub-selects. This is
because I had gotten rid of the simplify_jointree() preprocessing step, and
optimize_minmax_aggregates() wasn't smart enough to deal with a non-canonical
FromExpr. Per gripe from Bill Howe.

Come to think of it, we should check that commutator pairs have the same
merges/hashes property settings.

Add support for cross-type hashing in hashed subplans (hashed IN/NOT IN cases
that aren't turned into true joins). Since this is the last missing bit of
infrastructure, go ahead and fill out the hash integer_ops and float_ops
opfamilies with cross-type operators. The operator family project is now
DONE ... er, except for documentation ...

Rename MaxTupleSize to MaxHeapTupleSize to clarify that it's not meant to
describe the maximum size of index tuples (which is typically AM-dependent
anyway); and consequently remove the bogus deduction for "special space"
that was built into it.
Adjust TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD and TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE to avoid wasting two
bytes per toast chunk, and to ensure that the calculation correctly tracks any
future changes in page header size. The computation had been inaccurate in a
way that didn't cause any harm except space wastage, but future changes could
have broken it more drastically.
Fix the calculation of BTMaxItemSize, which was formerly computed as 1 byte
more than it could safely be. This didn't cause any harm in practice because
it's only compared against maxalign'd lengths, but future changes in the size
of page headers or btree special space could have exposed the problem.
initdb forced because of change in TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, which alters the
storage of toast tables.
Tom Lane [Sun, 4 Feb 2007 20:00:37 +0000 (20:00 +0000)]
Don't MAXALIGN in the checks to decide whether a tuple is over TOAST's
threshold for tuple length. On 4-byte-MAXALIGN machines, the toast code
creates tuples that have t_len exactly TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD ... but this
number is not itself maxaligned, so if heap_insert maxaligns t_len before
comparing to TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD, it'll uselessly recurse back to
tuptoaster.c, wasting cycles. (It turns out that this does not happen on
8-byte-MAXALIGN machines, because for them the outer MAXALIGN in the
TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE macro reduces TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE so that toast tuples
will be less than TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD in size. That MAXALIGN is really
incorrect, but we can't remove it now, see below.) There isn't any particular
value in maxaligning before comparing to the thresholds, so just don't do
that, which saves a small number of cycles in itself.
These numbers should be rejiggered to minimize wasted space on toast-relation
pages, but we can't do that in the back branches because changing
TOAST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE would force an initdb (by changing the contents of toast
tables). We can move the toast decision thresholds a bit, though, which is
what this patch effectively does.
Thanks to Pavan Deolasee for discovering the unintended recursion.
Back-patch into 8.2, but not further, pending more testing. (HEAD is about
to get a further patch modifying the thresholds, so it won't help much
for testing this form of the patch.)
