/*------------------------------------------------------------------------- * * supportnodes.h * Definitions for planner support functions. * * This file defines the API for "planner support functions", which * are SQL functions (normally written in C) that can be attached to * another "target" function to give the system additional knowledge * about the target function. All the current capabilities have to do * with planning queries that use the target function, though it is * possible that future extensions will add functionality to be invoked * by the parser or executor. * * A support function must have the SQL signature * supportfn(internal) returns internal * The argument is a pointer to one of the Node types defined in this file. * The result is usually also a Node pointer, though its type depends on * which capability is being invoked. In all cases, a NULL pointer result * (that's PG_RETURN_POINTER(NULL), not PG_RETURN_NULL()) indicates that * the support function cannot do anything useful for the given request. * Support functions must return a NULL pointer, not fail, if they do not * recognize the request node type or cannot handle the given case; this * allows for future extensions of the set of request cases. * * * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2021, PostgreSQL Global Development Group * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California * * src/include/nodes/supportnodes.h * *------------------------------------------------------------------------- */ #ifndef SUPPORTNODES_H #define SUPPORTNODES_H #include "nodes/primnodes.h" struct PlannerInfo; /* avoid including pathnodes.h here */ struct IndexOptInfo; struct SpecialJoinInfo; /* * The Simplify request allows the support function to perform plan-time * simplification of a call to its target function.

This is invoked during the planner's constant-folding pass, so the * function's arguments can be presumed already simplified. * * The planner's PlannerInfo "root" is typically not needed, but can be * consulted if it's necessary to obtain info about Vars present in * the given node tree. Beware that root could be NULL in some usages. * * "fcall" will be a FuncExpr invoking the support function's target * function.

See clause_selectivity() for the details. * * If an estimate can be made, store it into the "selectivity" field and * return the address of the SupportRequestSelectivity node; the estimate * must be between 0 and 1 inclusive.

This is a FuncExpr in the simplest case, but it could * also be an OpExpr, DistinctExpr, NullIfExpr, or WindowFunc, or possibly * other cases in future.

The target function call must appear at the top * level of WHERE or JOIN/ON, so this applies only to functions returning * boolean. * * The "node" argument is the parse node that is invoking the target function; * currently this will always be a FuncExpr or OpExpr. The call is made * only if at least one function argument matches an index column's variable * or expression. "indexarg" identifies the matching argument (it's the * argument's zero-based index in the node's args list). * * If the transformation is possible, return a List of directly-indexable * condition expressions, else return NULL. (A List is used because it's * sometimes useful to generate more than one indexable condition, such as * when a LIKE with constant prefix gives rise to both >= and < conditions.) * * "Directly indexable" means that the condition must be directly executable * by the index machinery. Typically this means that it is a binary OpExpr * with the index column value on the left, a pseudo-constant on the right, * and an operator that is in the index column's operator family. Other * possibilities include RowCompareExpr, ScalarArrayOpExpr, and NullTest, * depending on the index type; but those seem less likely to be useful for * derived index conditions. "Pseudo-constant" means that the right-hand * expression must not contain any volatile functions, nor any Vars of the * table the index is for; use is_pseudo_constant_for_index() to check this. * (Note: if the passed "node" is an OpExpr, the core planner already verified * that the non-indexkey operand is pseudo-constant; but when the "node" * is a FuncExpr, it does not check, since it doesn't know which of the * function's arguments you might need to use in an index comparison value.) * * In many cases, an index condition can be generated but it is weaker than * the function condition itself; for example, a LIKE with a constant prefix * can produce an index range check based on the prefix, but we still need * to execute the LIKE operator to verify the rest of the pattern. We say * that such an index condition is "lossy". When returning an index condition, * you should set the "lossy" request field to true if the condition is lossy, * or false if it is an exact equivalent of the function's result. The core * code will initialize that field to true, which is the common case. * * It is important to verify that the index operator family is the correct * one for the condition you want to generate. Core support functions tend * to use the known OID of a built-in opfamily for this, but extensions need * to work harder, since their OIDs aren't fixed. A possibly workable * answer for an index on an extension datatype is to verify the index AM's * OID instead, and then assume that there's only one relevant opclass for * your datatype so the opfamily must be the right one. Generating OpExpr * nodes may also require knowing extension datatype OIDs (often you can * find these out by applying exprType() to a function argument) and * operator OIDs (which you can look up using get_opfamily_member). */ typedef struct SupportRequestIndexCondition { NodeTag type; /* Input fields: */ struct PlannerInfo *root; /* Planner's infrastructure */ Oid funcid; /* function we are inquiring about */ Node *node; /* parse node invoking function */ int indexarg; /* index of function arg matching indexcol */ struct IndexOptInfo *index; /* planner's info about target index */ int indexcol; /* index of target index column (0-based) */ Oid opfamily; /* index column's operator family */ Oid indexcollation; /* index column's collation */ /* Output fields: */ bool lossy; /* set to false if index condition is an exact * equivalent of the function call */ } SupportRequestIndexCondition; #endif /* SUPPORTNODES_H */
