Hi,
Attached is a WIP patch extending the postgres_fdw DML pushdown in 9.6
so that it can perform an update/delete on a join remotely. An example
is shown below:
* without the patch:
postgres=# explain verbose delete from ft1 using ft2 where ft1.a = ft2.a;
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------
Delete on public.ft1 (cost=100.00..102.04 rows=1 width=38)
Remote SQL: DELETE FROM public.t1 WHERE ctid = $1
-> Foreign Scan (cost=100.00..102.04 rows=1 width=38)
Output: ft1.ctid, ft2.*
Relations: (public.ft1) INNER JOIN (public.ft2)
Remote SQL: SELECT r1.ctid, CASE WHEN (r2.*)::text IS NOT NULL
THEN ROW(r2.a, r2.b) END FROM (public.t1 r1 INNER JOIN public.t2 r2 ON
(((r1.a =
r2.a)))) FOR UPDATE OF r1
-> Nested Loop (cost=200.00..202.07 rows=1 width=38)
Output: ft1.ctid, ft2.*
Join Filter: (ft1.a = ft2.a)
-> Foreign Scan on public.ft1 (cost=100.00..101.03
rows=1 width=10)
Output: ft1.ctid, ft1.a
Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.t1 FOR UPDATE
-> Foreign Scan on public.ft2 (cost=100.00..101.03
rows=1 width=36)
Output: ft2.*, ft2.a
Remote SQL: SELECT a, b FROM public.t2
(15 rows)
* with the patch:
postgres=# explain verbose delete from ft1 using ft2 where ft1.a = ft2.a;
QUERY PLAN
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delete on public.ft1 (cost=100.00..102.04 rows=1 width=38)
-> Foreign Delete (cost=100.00..102.04 rows=1 width=38)
Remote SQL: DELETE FROM public.t1 r1 USING (SELECT ROW(a, b),
a FROM public.t2) ss1(c1, c2) WHERE ((r1.a = ss1.c2))
(3 rows)
The WIP patch has been created on top of the join pushdown patch [1].
So, for testing, please apply the patch in [1] first.
I'll add this to the the November commitfest.
Best regards,
