20 years agoMake the world very nearly safe for composite-type columns in tables.

Make the world very nearly safe for composite-type columns in tables.
1. Solve the problem of not having TOAST references hiding inside composite
values by establishing the rule that toasting only goes one level deep:
a tuple can contain toasted fields, but a composite-type datum that is
to be inserted into a tuple cannot.  Enforcing this in heap_formtuple
is relatively cheap and it avoids a large increase in the cost of running
the tuptoaster during final storage of a row.
2. Fix some interesting problems in expansion of inherited queries that
reference whole-row variables.  We never really did this correctly before,
but it's now relatively painless to solve by expanding the parent's
whole-row Var into a RowExpr() selecting the proper columns from the
child.
If you dike out the preventive check in CheckAttributeType(),
composite-type columns now seem to actually work.  However, we surely
cannot ship them like this --- without I/O for composite types, you
can't get pg_dump to dump tables containing them.  So a little more
work still to do.

Tom Lane [Fri, 4 Jun 2004 20:35:21 +0000 (20:35 +0000)]
Resurrect heap_deformtuple(), this time implemented as a singly nested
loop over the fields instead of a loop around heap_getattr.  This is
considerably faster (O(N) instead of O(N^2)) when there are nulls or
varlena fields, since those prevent use of attcacheoff.  Replace loops
over heap_getattr with heap_deformtuple in situations where all or most
of the fields have to be fetched, such as printtup and tuptoaster.
Profiling done more than a year ago shows that this should be a nice

safe for Unixen as well, because sync(2) never had the semantics we need:
