Обсуждение: Cache query (PREPARE/EXECUTE)
Hi,
as I said, I tring implement PREPARE / EXECUTE command for user a
controllable query cache (in TODO: Cache most recent query plan(s)).
I have implement first usable version now (I know that it is not
interesting for current feature-freeze state, but I believe that
it is interesting for next release and for major developers). See:
test=# prepare sel as select * from tab where id = $1 and data like $2 using int, text;
PREPARE
test=# execute sel using 1, '%a';id | data
----+------ 1 | aaaa
(1 row)
test=# prepare ins as insert into tab (data) values($1) using text;
PREPARE
test=# execute ins_tab using 'cccc';
INSERT 18974 1
The queryTree and planTree are save in hash table and in the
TopMemoryContext (Is it good space for this cache?). All is
without change-schema detection (IMHO is user problem if he
changes DB schema and use old cached plan). In future I try
add any 'change-schema' detection (to alter/drop table,rule..etc).
I'am not sure with syntax, now is:
PREPARE name AS optimizable-statement [ USING type, ... ] EXECUTE name [ USING value, ... ]
Comments? Suggestions? (SQL92?)
(Note: I try test speed and speed for cached query plan (select) executed via EXECUTE rise very very up (70% !).)

Just curious, but a new 'PREPARE name AS...' with the same name just
overrides the previously saved plan?
Actually, can someone who may know the internals of DBI comment on
this? If I have a CGI that runs the same SELECT call each and every time,
this would come in handy ... but how does DBI do its prepare? Would it
set a new name for each invocation, so you would have several 'cached
plans' for the exact same SELECT call?

But.. 1/ this cache is in memory only (it is not across re-connection persistent), not save in any table..etc. 2/ you can have(equil or differnet) several plans in this cache, number of plans is not limited.3/ you can't have two same query'sname in cache (name is hash key)4/ after EXECUTE is plan still in cache, you can run it again... potential usage: example - you start connection to PG and you know that you need use 20x same question (example INSERT). You can PREPARE plan for this query, and run fast EXECUTE only (instead 20x full insert); Karel

Looks cool.

Probably not. I'd suggest making a separate memory context for
this purpose --- they're cheap, and that gives you more control.
Look at the creation and use of CacheMemoryContext for an example.

This seems to be quite at variance with SQL92, unfortunately, so it
might not be a good idea to use the same keywords they do...

Yes, I agree (TopMemoryContext was simpl for first hacking). But I not sure how create new (across transaction persistent?) MemoryContext. It needs new portal?

My cache table routines for PREPARE = Jan's RI routines :-)
(I copy and a little modify Jan's code (*Thanks* Jan for good inspiration..).
But if I good look at Jan use SPI context for this, not any specific
context.

Though current SPI stuff saves prepared plans to TopMemory Context,we couldn't remove them forever. It seems that SPI should also be changed in its implementation about saving plans.

Yes, I know about SPI plan saving... from here is my inspiration
with TopMemoryContext. But we have in current PG code very often
any cached queryPlan/Tree (PREPARE, SPI and Jan's RI saves plans
to TopM. too), I agree with Tom that is not bad idea saving all
plans to _one_ specific MemoryContext.
My idea is make any basic routines for query cache (hash table,
ExecuteCachedQuery() ...etc) and use these routines for more
operation (SPI, FKeys, PREPARE..). Comments?

If I good understand, we can't destroy any plan? We must
destroy _full_ memory context? If yes (please no), we can't
make a DROP PLAN command or we must create for each plan specific
memory context (and drop this specific Context (Jan's original idea)).
If I call SPI_saveplan(), is the plan forever save in
TopMemoryContext? (hmm, the SPI is memory feeder).

We must I think so. The problem is that Node struct couldn't be freed safely due to the lack of reference count in its definition.

This is overly conservative. It should be safe to destroy a plan tree
via freeObject() if it was created via copyObject() --- and that is
certainly how the plan would get into a permanent memory context.
Currently, rule definitions are leaked in CacheContext at relcache
flushes. I plan to start freeing them via freeObject at the beginning
of the 7.1 development cycle --- I didn't want to risk it during the
runup to 7.0, but I believe it will work fine.

Yes, SPI and my PREPARE use copyObject() for saving to TopMemoryContext.
Well, I believe you Tom that freeObject() is correct and I start
implement PlanCacheMemoryContext's routines for PREPARE (and
SPI's saveplan ?).

I don't see any reason, why each saved plan or rule definition shouldn't go into it's own, private
memory context. Then, a simple destruction of the entire context will surely free all it's memory, and I think
itwill also be faster since the en-block allocation, done for many small objects, doesn't need to free all them
separately- it throws away the entire blocks. No need to traverse the node tree, nor any problems with multiple
objectreferences inside the tree.
Since plans are (ought to be) saved via SPI_saveplan(plan), there is already a central point where it can be
done for plans. And a corresponding SPI_freeplan(savedplan) should be easy to create, since the context can be
heldin the SPI plan structure itself.
Needs only some general naming convention for these memory contexts. But something like a
MemoryContext CreateObjectMemoryContext();
that guarantees uniqueness in the context name and no conflicts by using some appropriate prefix in them
shoulddo it.
The overhead, payed for separate contexts is IMHO negligible.

One context is more simple.
We talking about a *cache*. If exist interface for this cache andall operations are with copy/freeObject it not has
restriction.For how action it will restriction?
The PlanCacheMemoryContext will store space only, it isn't space for any action.

But I think one context per plan is still better, since first there is no leakage/multiref problem. Second, there is a performance difference between explicitly pfree()'ing hundreds of small allocations (in freeObject()traverse), and just destroying a context. The changes I made to the MemoryContextAlloc stuff forv6.5 (IIRC), using bigger blocks incl. padding/reuse for small allocations, caused a speedup of 5+% for the entireregression test. This was only because it uses lesser real calls to malloc()/free() and the context destructiondoes not need to process a huge list of all, however small allocations anymore. It simply throws awayall blocks now. This time, we talk about a more complex, recursive freeObject(), switch()'ing for every node type into separate, per object type specific functions, pfree()'ing all the little chunks. So there is at least a difference in first/second-level RAM cache rows required. And if that can simply be avoided by using one contextper plan, I vote for 1by1. Then again, copyObject/freeObject must be fixed WRT leakage/multiref anyway.

Agreed, though one would hope that performance of cache flushes
is not a major consideration ;-).
What I find attractive about going in this direction is the idea
that we could get rid of freeObject() entirely, and eliminate that
part of the work involved in changing node definitions.

Not if we decide to get rid of freeObject, instead.
I think that a little work would have to be done to support efficient
use of large numbers of contexts, but it's certainly doable. This
path seems more attractive than trying to make the world safe for
freeObject of arbitrary node trees.

All alloc/realloc/free functions for a particular context are just function-pointers inside the context structure itself. So ther'll be no additional call overhead when dealing with large numbers of contexts. OTOH, this new per-object-context stuff could hand down some lifetime flag, let's say MCXT_UNTIL_STATEMENT, MCXT_UTIL_XEND and MCXT_UNTIL_INFINITY to start from. The memory context creation/destruction routines could managesome global lists of contexts, that automatically get destroyed on AtXactCommitMemory and so on,making such a kind of per- object memory context a fire'n'forget missile (Uh - played F15 too excessively :-). It should still be destroyed explicitly if not needed anymore, but if allocated with the correctlifetime, wouldn't hurt that much if forgotten. More work to get all the existing places in the backend making use of this functionality where applicable.

A good thing to keep in mind, but for the short term I'm not sure
we need it; the proposed new contexts are all for indefinite-lifetime
caches, so there's no chance to make them go away automatically.
Eventually we might have more uses for limited-lifetime contexts,
though.
Something else that needs to be looked at is how memory contexts
are tied to "portals" presently. That mechanism probably needs
to be redesigned. I have to admit I don't understand what it's
for...

Well, I explore PG's memory context routines and is probably more
simple destroy mem context (than use feeeObject()) and create new context
for plan is simple too. (Jan, Hiroshi and PG's source convince me :-)
Today afternoon I rewrite query cache and now is implemented as
'context-per-plan'. It allows me write a 'DROP PLAN' command. We can use
this cache in SPI too, and create new command SPI_freeplan() (and stop
TopMemoryContext feeding).
Now, PREPARE/EXECUTE are ready to usage. See:
test=# prepare my_plan as select * from tab where id = $1 using int;
PREPARE
test=# execute my_plan using 2;id | data
----+------ 2 | aaaa
(1 row)
test=# drop plan my_plan;
DROP
test=# execute my_plan using 2;

Sorry, previous paragraph is stupid. The 'into' is simple item in
the query struct and not any targetlist. I spend more time with previous
stupidity than with implementation:
EXECUTE <name> [ INTO [ TEMPORARY | TEMP ] [ TABLE ] new_table ] [ USING val, ... ]
test=# prepare sel as select * from tab;
PREPARE
test=# execute sel into x;
SELECT
test=# select * from x;id | data
----+------ 1 | aaaa 2 | bbbb 3 | cccc 4 | dddd 5 | eeee
(5 rows)
The PostgreSQL source code is really very modular :-)

- PREPARE save to cache any standard sql command (OptimizableStmt).- EXECUTE run this cached plan (query) and send data
tofrontend or INTO any relation.

It was used only in embedded SQL. Seems x, y after INTO are output variables. In embedded SQL they are host variables. But I don't know what they are in interactive SQL. Regards.

Oh, yes I understand you now. No, prepare is a standard command
(interactive) (IMO).

A INTO is same as (example) SELECT ..INTO, see:
PREPARE myplan AS SELECT * FROM tab;EXECUTE myplan INTO newtab;
A INTO only remove query destination for cached plan.
...it is in my implementation. I don't no how it is in any others SQLs.
In my Oracle8's tutorial it isn't.
