24 years agoFix bug noted by Bruce: FETCH in an already-aborted transaction block
Tom Lane [Tue, 4 Apr 2000 21:44:40 +0000 (21:44 +0000)]
Fix bug noted by Bruce: FETCH in an already-aborted transaction block
would crash, due to premature invocation of SetQuerySnapshot().  Clean
up problems with handling of multiple queries by splitting
pg_parse_and_plan into two routines.  The old code would not, for
example, do the right thing with END; SELECT... submitted in one query
string when it had been in transaction abort state, because it'd decide
to skip planning the SELECT before it had executed the END.  New
arrangement is simpler and doesn't force caller to plan if only
parse+rewrite is needed.

24 years agoFix extremely nasty little bug observed when a sub-SELECT appears in
Tom Lane [Tue, 4 Apr 2000 01:21:48 +0000 (01:21 +0000)]
Fix extremely nasty little bug observed when a sub-SELECT appears in
WHERE in a place where it can be part of a nestloop inner indexqual.
As the code stood, it put the same physical sub-Plan node into both
indxqual and indxqualorig of the IndexScan plan node.  That confused
later processing in the optimizer (which expected that tracing the
subPlan list would visit each subplan node exactly once), and would
probably have blown up in the executor if the planner hadn't choked first.
Fix by making the 'fixed' indexqual be a complete deep copy of the
original indexqual, rather than trying to share nodes below the topmost
operator node.  This had further ramifications though, because we were
making the aforesaid list of sub-Plan nodes during SS_process_sublinks
which is run before construction of the 'fixed' indexqual, meaning that
the copy of the sub-Plan didn't show up in that list.  Fix by rearranging
logic so that the sub-Plan list is built by the final set_plan_references
pass, not in SS_process_sublinks.  This may sound like a mess, but it's
actually a good deal cleaner now than it was before, because we are no
longer dependent on the assumption that planning will never make a copy
of a sub-Plan node.
