Обсуждение: inherit support for foreign tables
Hi hackers,
I'd like to propose adding inheritance support for foriegn tables.
David Fetter mentioned this feature last July, but it seems stalled.
http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20130719005601.GA5760@fetter.org
Supporting inheritance by foreign tables allows us to distribute query
to remote servers by using foreign tables as partition table of a
(perhaps ordinary) table. For this purpose, I think that constraint
exclusion is necessary.
As result of extending Devid's patch for PoC, and AFAIS we need these changes:
1) Add INHERITS(rel, ...) clause to CREATE/ALTER FOREIGN TABLE
Apperantly we need to add new syntax to define parent table(s) of a
foreign table. We have options about the position of INHERIT clause,
but I'd prefer before SERVER clause because having options specific to
foreign tables at the tail would be most extensible.
a) CREATE FOREIGN TABLE child (...) INHERITS(p1, p2) SERVER server;
b) CREATE FOREIGN TABLE child (...) SERVER server INHERITS(p1, p2);
2) Allow foreign tables to have CHECK constraints
Like NOT NULL, I think we don't need to enforce the check duroing
INSERT/UPDATE against foreign table.
3) Allow foreign table as a child node of Append
Currently prepunion.c assumes that children of Append have
RELKIND_RELATION as relkind always, so we need to set relkind of child
RTE explicitly.
Please see attached PoC patch. I'll enhance implementation, tests and
document and submit the patch for the next CF.
Regards,

I'm not really satisfied with your analysis here. In particular: > 2) Allow foreign tables to have CHECK constraints > Like NOT NULL, I think we don't need to enforce the check duroing > INSERT/UPDATE against foreign table. Really? It's one thing to say that somebody who adds a CHECK constraint to a foreign table is responsible to make sure that the foreign data will satisfy the constraint. It feels like a different thing to say that ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT applied to a parent table will silently assume that some child table that happens to be foreign doesn't need any enforcement. Perhaps more to the point, inheritance trees are the main place where the planner depends on the assumption that CHECK constraints represent reality. Are we really prepared to say that it's the user's fault if the planner generates an incorrect plan on the strength of a CHECK constraint that's not actually satisfied by the foreign data? If so, that had better be documented by this patch. But for a project that refuses to let people create a local CHECK or FOREIGN KEY constraint without mechanically checking it, it seems pretty darn weird to be so laissez-faire about constraints on foreign data. regards, tom lane

I can see both sides of this issue. We certainly have no way to force the remote side to enforce CHECK constraints defined on the local side, because the remote side could also be accepting writes from other sources that don't have any matching constraint. But having said that, I can't see any particularly principled reason why we shouldn't at least check the new rows we insert ourselves. After all, we could be in the situation proposed by KaiGai Kohei, where the foreign data wrapper API is being used as a surrogate storage engine API - i.e. there are no writers to the foreign side except ourselves. In that situation, it would seem odd to randomly fail to enforce the constraints. On the other hand, the performance costs of checking every row bound for the remote table could be quite steep. Consider an update on an inheritance hierarchy that sets a = a + 1 for every row. If we don't worry about verifying that the resulting rows satisfy all local-side constraints, we can potentially ship a single update statement to the remote server and let it do all the work there. But if we DO have to worry about that, then we're going to have to ship every updated row over the wire in at least one direction, if not both. If the purpose of adding CHECK constraints was to enable constraint exclusion, that's a mighty steep price to pay for it. I think it's been previously proposed that we have some version of a CHECK constraint that effectively acts as an assertion for query optimization purposes, but isn't actually enforced by the system. I can see that being useful in a variety of situations, including this one. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

Yeah, I think it would be much smarter to provide a different syntax
to explicitly represent the notion that we're only assuming the condition
is true, and not trying to enforce it.

I'd like to revisit this feature. Explicit notation to represent not-enforcing (assertive?) is an interesting idea. I'm not sure which word is appropriate, but for example, let's use the word ASSERTIVE as a new constraint attribute. CREATE TABLE parent ( id int NOT NULL, group int NOT NULL, name text ); CREATE FOREIGN TABLE child_grp1 ( /* no additional column */ ) INHERITS (parent) SERVER server1; ALTER TABLE child_grp1 ADD CONSTRAINT chk_group1 CHECK (group = 1) ASSERTIVE; If ASSERTIVE is specified, it's not guaranteed that the constraint is enforced completely, so it should be treated as a hint for planner. As Robert mentioned, enforcing as much as we can during INSERT/UPDATE is one option about this issue. In addition, an idea which I can't throw away is to assume that all constraints defined on foreign tables as ASSERTIVE. Foreign tables potentially have dangers to have "wrong" data by updating source data not through foreign tables. This is not specific to an FDW, so IMO constraints defined on foreign tables are basically ASSERTIVE. Of course PG can try to maintain data correct, but always somebody might break it. Besides CHECK constraints, currently NOT NULL constraints are virtually ASSERTIVE (not enforcing). Should it also be noted explicitly? Thoughts? -- Shigeru HANADA
From PostgreSQL manual: "A serious limitation of the inheritance feature is that indexes (including unique constraints) and foreign key constraints only apply to single tables, not to their inheritance children." But is it possible to use index for derived table at all? Why sequential search is used for derived table in the example below: create table base_table (x integer primary key); create table derived_table (y integer) inherits (base_table); insert into base_table values (1); insert into derived_table values (2,2); create index derived_index on derived_table(x); explain select * from base_table where x>=0; QUERY PLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Append (cost=0.14..4.56 rows=81width=4) -> Index Only Scan using base_table_pkey on base_table (cost=0.14..3.55 rows=80 width=4) Index Cond: (x >= 0) -> Seq Scan on derived_table (cost=0.00..1.01 rows=1 width=4) Filter: (x >= 0) (5 rows)

Hi all, 2014/1/14 Shigeru Hanada <shigeru.hanada@gmail.com>: > I'd like to revisit this feature. Attached patch allows a foreign table to be a child of a table. It also allows foreign tables to have CHECK constraints. These changes provide us a chance to propagate query load to multiple servers via constraint exclusion. If FDW supports async operation against remote server, parallel processing (not stable but read-only case would be find) can be achieved, though overhead of FDW mechanism is still there. Though this would be debatable, in current implementation, constraints defined on a foreign table (now only NOT NULL and CHECK are supported) are not enforced during INSERT or UPDATE executed against foreign tables. This means that retrieved data might violates the constraints defined on local side. This is debatable issue because integrity of data is important for DBMS, but in the first cut, it is just documented as a note. Because I don't see practical case to have a foreign table as a parent, and it avoid a problem about recursive ALTER TABLE operation, foreign tables can't be a parent. An example of such problem is adding constraint which is not unsupported for foreign tables to the parent of foreign table. Propagated operation can be applied to ordinary tables in the inheritance tree, but can't be to foreign tables. If we allow foreign tables to be parent, it's difficult to process ordinary tables below foreign tables in current traffic cop mechanism. For other commands recursively processed such as ANALYZE, foreign tables in the leaf of inheritance tree are ignored. Any comments or questions are welcome. -- Shigeru HANADA

A sophisticated enough FDW could verify that the appropriate check already existed in tho foreign side, or it could do somethinglike: BEGIN; UPDATE SET ... WHERE <where> SELECT EXISTS( SELECT 1 WHERE <where> AND NOT (<check condition>) ); And then rollback if the SELECT returns true. But obviously you can't always do that, so I think there's a place for both true constraints and "suggested constraints". -- Jim C.

Hmm, IIUC you mean that local users can't (or don't need to) know that data which violates the local constraints exist on remote side. Applying constraints to the data which is modified through FDW would be necessary as well. In that design, FDW is a bidirectional filter which provides these features: 1) Don't push wrong data into remote data source, by applying local constraints to the result of the modifying query executed on local PG.This is not perfect filter, because remote constraintsdon't mapped automatically or perfectly (imagine constraints which is available on remote but is not supported in PG). 2) Don't retrieve wrong data from remote to local PG, by applying local constraints I have a concern about consistency. It has not been supported, but let's think of Aggregate push-down invoked by a query below. SELECT count(*) FROM remote_table; If this query was fully pushed down, the result is the # of records exist on remote side, but the result would be # of valid records when we don't push down the aggregate. This would confuse users. >> Besides CHECK constraints, currently NOT NULL constraints are >> virtually ASSERTIVE (not enforcing). Should it also be noted >> explicitly? >> > Backward compatibility….

Treating [ASSERTIVE | NOT ASSERTIVE] like DEFERRABLE, and allow ingASSERTIVE for only foreign tables? It makes sense, though we need consider exclusiveness . But It needs to default to ASSERTIVE on foreign tables, and NOT ASSERTIVE (means "forced") on others. Isn't is too complicated? CREATE FOREIGN TABLE foo ( id int NOT NULL ASSERTIVE CHECK (id > 1) ASSERTIVE, … CONSTRAINT chk_foo_name_upper CHECK(upper(name) = name) ASSERTIVE ) SERVER server; BTW, I noticed that this is like push-down-able expressions in JOIN/WHERE. We need to check a CHECK constraint defined on a foreign tables contains only expressions which have same semantics as remote side (in practice, built-in and immutable)? -- Shigeru HANADA

(1) can be done with ExecConstraints prior to FDW callback on UPDATE or INSERT, even not a perfect solution because of side-channel on the remote data source. For (2), my proposition tries to drop retrieved violated tuples, however, the result is same. > I have a concern about consistency.

So, it is a good first step to add support "ASSERTIVE" CHECK on foreign table only, and to enforce FDW drivers nothing special from my personal sense. How about committer's opinion?

I don't think that that ASSERTIVE is going to fly, because "assertive"
means (sayeth the Google) "having or showing a confident and forceful
personality", which is not what we mean here. It's tempting to do
something like try to replace the keyword "check" with "assume" or
"assert" or (stretching) "assertion", but that would require whichever
one we picked to be a fully-reserved keyword, which I can't think is
going to get much support here, for entirely understandable reasons.
So I think we should look for another option.
Currently, constraints can be marked NO INHERIT (though this seems to
have not been fully documented, as the ALTER TABLE page doesn't
mention it anywhere) or NOT VALID, so I'm thinking maybe we should go
with something along those lines. Some ideas:
- NO CHECK. The idea of writing CHECK (id > 1) NO CHECK is pretty
hilarious, though.
- NO VALIDATE. But then people need to understand that NOT VALID
means "we didn't validate it yet" while "no validate" means "we don't
ever intend to validate it", which could be confusing.
- NO ENFORCE. Requires a new (probably unreserved) keyword.
- NOT VALIDATED or NOT CHECKED. Same problems as NO CHECK and NO
VALIDATE, respectively, plus now we have to create a new keyword.
Another idea is to apply an extensible-options syntax to constraints,
like we do for EXPLAIN, VACUUM, etc. Like maybe:
CHECK (id > 1) OPTIONS (enforced false, valid true)
Yet another idea is to consider validity a three-state property:
either the constraint is valid (because we have checked it and are
enforcing it), or it is not valid (because we are enforcing it but
have not checked the pre-existing data), or it is assumed true
(because we are not checking or enforcing it but are believing it
anyway). So then we could have a syntax like this:
CHECK (id > 1) VALIDATE { ON | OFF | ASSERTION }
Other ideas?
One thing that's bugging me a bit about this whole line of attack is
that, in the first instance, the whole goal here is to support
inheritance hierarchies that mix ordinary tables with foreign tables.
If you have a table with children some of which are inherited and
others of which are not inherited, you're very likely going to want
your constraints enforced for real on the children that are tables and
assumed true on the children that are foreign tables, and none of what
we're talking about here gets us to that, because we normally want the
constraints to be identical throughout the inheritance hierarchy.
Maybe there's some way around that, but I'm back to wondering if it
wouldn't be better to simply silently force any constraints on a
foreign-table into assertion mode. That could be done without any new
syntax at all, and frankly I think it's what people are going to want
more often than not.

There's a nearby thread that's addressing this same question, in which
I make the case (again) that the right thing for postgres_fdw constraints
is that they're just assumed true. So I'm not sure why this conversation
is proposing to implement a lot of mechanism to do something different
from that.

I'd like to vote for the idea of silently forcing any constraints on a
foreign-table into assertion mode. No new syntax and better documentation.

This points to a larger discussion about what precisely foreign tables can and cannot inherit from local ones. I don't think that a generic solution will be satisfactory, as the PostgreSQL FDW could, at least in principle, support many more than the CSV FDW, as shown above. In my estimation, the outcome of discussion above is not a blocker for this patch.

The answer is no, in my understanding. The altering operation simply declares some chages for foreign tables in the inheritance tree and does nothing to the underlying storages.

BTW, isn't it feasible to consign FDW drivers its decision? If a foreign table has a check constraint (X BETWEEN 101 AND 200), postgres_fdw will be capable to run this check on the remote server, however, file_fdw will not be capable. It is usual job of them when qualifiers are attached on Path node. Probably, things to do is simple. If the backend appends the configured check constraint as if a user-given qualifier, FDW driver will handle it appropriately.

It seems little bit complex than I expected. Currently foreign tables
deny ALTER TABLE SET STORAGE with message like below, because foreign
tables don't have storage in the meaning of PG heap tables.
ERROR: "pgbench1_accounts_c1" is not a table or materialized view
At the moment we don't use attstorage for foreign tables, so allowing
SET STORAGE against foreign tables never introduce visible change
except \d+ output of foreign tables. But IMO such operation should
not allowed because users would be confused. So I changed
ATExecSetStorage() to skip on foreign tables. This allows us to emit
ALTER TABLE SET STORAGE against ordinary tables in upper level of
inheritance tree, but it have effect on only ordinary tables in the
tree.
This also allows direct ALTER FOREIGN TABLE SET STORAGE against
foreign table but the command is silently ignored. SET STORAGE
support for foreign tables is not documented because it may confuse
users.
With attached patch, SET STORAGE against wrong relations produces
message like this. Is it confusing to mention foreign table here?
ERROR: "pgbench1_accounts_pkey" is not a table, materialized view, or
foreign table
One other idea is to support SET STORAGE against foreign tables though
it has no effect. This makes all tables and foreign tables to have
same storage option in same column. It might be more understandable
behavior for users.
Thoughts?
FYI, here are lists of ALTER TABLE features which is allowed/denied
for foreign tables.
Allowed
- ADD|DROP COLUMN
- SET DATA TYPE
- SET|DROP NOT NULL
- SET STATISTICS
- SET (attribute_option = value)
- RESET (atrribute_option)
- SET|DROP DEFAULT
- ADD table_constraint
- ALTER CONSTRAINT
- DROP CONSTRAINT
- [NO] INHERIT parent_table
- OWNER
- RENAME
- SET SCHEMA
- SET STORAGE
- moved to here by attached patch
Denied
- ADD table_constraint_using_index
- VALIDATE CONSTRAINT
- DISABLE|ENABLE TRIGGER
- DISABLE|ENABLE RULE
- CLUSTER ON
- SET WITHOUT CLUSTER
- SET WITH|WITHOUT OIDS
- SET (storage_parameter = value)
- RESET (storage_parameter)
- OF type
- NOT OF
- SET TABLESPACE
- REPLICA IDENTITY

The FDW driver knows whether or not the foreign server supportsthe said feature,hence,the user should be abstracted from that. I agree that the foreign constraint can be added as a user defined qualifier and dealt with accordingly. Regards, Atri

I think this is totally misguided. Who's to say that some weird FDW
might not pay attention to attstorage? I could imagine a file-based
FDW using that to decide whether to compress columns, for instance.
Admittedly, the chances of that aren't large, but it's pretty hard
to argue that going out of our way to prevent it is a useful activity.

[ shrug... ] By far the easiest implementation of that is just to apply
the catalog change to all of them. According to your assumptions, it'll
be a no-op on the foreign tables anyway.

I agree that using the FDW-specific options is the right approach and
disallowing those to be set on foreign tables makes sense. I don't
particularly like the idea of applying changes during inheiritance
which we wouldn't allow the user to do directly. While it might be a
no-op and no FDW might use it, it'd still be confusing.

If we don't allow it directly, why not? Seems rather arbitrary.

I'm apparently missing something here. From my perspective, they're
either allowed or they're not and if they aren't allowed then they
shouldn't be allowed to happen. I'd view this like a CHECK constraint-
if it's a foreign table then it can't have a value for SET STORAGE. I
don't see why it would be 'ok' to allow it to be set if we're setting it
as part of inheiritance but otherwise not allow it to be set.

Allowing ALTER COLUMN SET STORAGE on foreign tables would make sense if for example, "SELECT * INTO local_table FROM foreign_table" did create a new local table of columns having the storage types associated with those of a foreign table?

Seems like a pretty weak argument. It's not that we can't find strange corner cases where applying SET STORAGE to a foreign table doesn't do something; it's that they *are* strange corner cases. The options as we normally don't understand them just aren't sensible in this context, and a good deal of work has been put into an alternative options framework, which is what authors of FDWs ought to be using. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company

So, I've modified the patch so that we continue to disallow SET STORAGE on a foreign table *in the same manner as before*, but, as your patch does, allow it on an inheritance hierarchy that contains foreign tables, with the semantics that we quietly ignore the foreign tables and apply the operation to the plain tables, by modifying the ALTER TABLE simple recursion mechanism.

While reviwing the patch, I've found some issues on interactions with other commands, other than the SET STORAGE command. * ADD table_constraint NOT VALID: the patch allows ADD table_constraint *NOT VALID* to be set on a foreign table as well as an inheritance hierarchy that contains foreign tables.

Done.
> * VALIDATE CONSTRAINT constraint_name:
I've modified the patch so that though we continue to disallow the
operation on a foreign table, we allow it on an inheritance hierarchy
that contains foreign tables. In that case, the to-be-validated
constraints on the plain tables are validated by the operation, as
before, and the constraints on the foreign tables are ignored. Note
that the constraints on the foreign tables are not NOT VALID due to the
spec mentioned above.

I noticed this breaks inheritance hierarchy. To avoid this, I've
modified the patch to disallow SET WITH OIDS on an inheritance hierarchy
that contains at least one foreign table.
The other changes:
- if (stmt->constraints != NIL && relkind == RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE)
- ereport(ERROR,
- (errcode(ERRCODE_WRONG_OBJECT_TYPE),
- errmsg("constraints are not supported
on foreign tables")));
+/*
+ * Shouldn't this have been checked in parser?
+ */
+ if (relkind == RELKIND_FOREIGN_TABLE)
+ {
+ ListCell *lc;
+ foreach(lc, stmt->constraints)
+ {
+ NewConstraint *nc = lfirst(lc);
+
+ if (nc->contype != CONSTR_CHECK &&
+ nc->contype != CONSTR_DEFAULT &&
+ nc->contype != CONSTR_NULL &&
+ nc->contype != CONSTR_NOTNULL)
+ ereport(ERROR,
+
(errcode(ERRCODE_WRONG_OBJECT_TYPE),
+ errmsg("only check
constraints are supported on foreign tables")));
+ }
+ }
ISTM we wouldn't need the above check in DefineRelation(), so I've
removed the check from the patch. And I've modified the vague error
messages in parse_utilcmd.c.
There seems to be no objections, I've merged the ANALYZE patch [1] with
your patch. I noticed that the patch in [1] isn't efficient. (To
ANALYZE one inheritance tree that contains foreign tables, the patch in
[1] calls the AnalyzeForeignTable() routine two times for each such
foreign table.) So, the updated version has been merged that calls the
routine only once for each such foreign table.
Todo:
ISTM the documentation would need to be updated further.

But I think the flexibility is also important. In other words, I think it isa bit too inflexible that we disallow e.g., SET STORAGE to be set on an inheritance tree that contains foreign table(s)because we disallow SET STORAGE to be set on foreign tables directly. > If foreign table can be modified through inheritance tree, this kind of > change can be done. > > 1) create foreign table as a child of a ordinary table > 2) run ALTER TABLE parent, the foreign table is also changed > 3) remove foreign table from the inheritance tree by ALTER TABLE child NO > INHERIT parent > 4) here we can't do same thing as 2), because it is not a child anymore. > > So IMO we should determine which ALTER TABLE features are allowed to foreign > tables, and allow them regardless of the recursivity.

Could you guess any use cases in which we are happy with ALTER TABLE's inheritance tree walking? IMHO, ALTER FOREIGN TABLE always comes with some changes of the data source so implicitly invoking of such commands should be defaultly turned off. If the ALTER'ing the whole familiy is deadfully useful for certain cases, it might be explicitly turned on by some syntax added to CREATE FOREIGN TABLE or ALTER TABLE. It would looks like following, CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ft1 () INHERITS (pt1 ALLOW_INHERITED_ALTER, pt2); ALTER TABLE INCLUDE FOREIGN CHILDREN parent ADD COLUMN add1 integer; These looks quite bad :-( but also seem quite better than accidentially ALTER'ing foreign children. If foreign tables were allowed to ALTER'ed with 'ALTER TABLE', some reconstruction between 'ALTER TABLE' and 'ALTER FOREIGN TABLE' would be needed. > If foreign table can be modified through inheritance tree, this kind > of change can be done. > > 1) create foreign table as a child of a ordinary table > 2) run ALTER TABLE parent, the foreign table is also changed > 3) remove foreign table from the inheritance tree by ALTER TABLE child > NO INHERIT parent > 4) here we can't do same thing as 2), because it is not a child anymore. > > So IMO we should determine which ALTER TABLE features are allowed to > foreign tables, and allow them regardless of the recursivity. > > Comments? regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center

Ugh. This adds a lot of logical complication without much real use,
IMO. The problems that have been discussed in this thread are that
certain types of ALTER are sensible to apply to foreign tables and
others are not --- so how does a one-size-fits-all switch help that?
Also, there are some types of ALTER for which recursion to children
*must* occur or things become inconsistent --- ADD COLUMN itself is
an example, and ADD CONSTRAINT is another. It would not be acceptable
for an ALLOW_INHERITED_ALTER switch to suppress that, but if the
switch is leaky then it's even less consistent and harder to explain.

None, I think.

It is the problem came with allowing to implicit ALTER on foreign children, Shigeru's last message seems to referred to.

What use case needs such a flexibility precedes the lost behavior predictivity of ALTER TABLE and/or code "maintenancibility"(more ordinally words must be...) ? I don't agree with the idea that ALTER TABLE implicitly affects foreign children for the reason in the upthread. Also turning on/off feature implemented as special syntax seems little hope. If you still want that, I suppose ALTER FOREIGN TABLE is usable chainging so as to walk through the inheritance tree and affects only foreign tables along the way. It can naturally affects foregin tables with no unanticipated behavor.

Imagine a case that foreign data source have attributes (A, B, C, D) but foreign tables and their parent ware defined as (A, B, C). If user wants to use D as well, ALTER TABLE parent ADD COLUMN D type would be useful (rather necessary?) to keep consistency.

It is just my personal opinion, but I think it would be convenient for users to alter inheritance trees that contain foreign tables the same way as inheritance trees that don't contain any foreign tables, without making user conscious of the inheritance trees contains foreign tables or not. Imagine we have an inheritance tree that contains only plain tables and then add a foreign table as a child of the inheritance tree. Without the flexiblity, we would need to changethe way of altering the structure of the inheritance tree (e.g., ADD CONSTRAINT) to a totally different one, immediately when adding the foreign table.

I don't think that would be easy to use. I personally don't see significant advantages such a flexibility. Although my concerns here are only two points, unanticipated application and "maintenancibility". I gave a consideration on these issues again. Then, I think it could be enough by giving feedback to operators for the first issue. =# ALTER TABLE parent ADD CHECK (tempmin < tempmax), ALTER tempmin SET NOT NULL, ALTER tempmin SET DEFAULT 0; NOTICE: Child foregn table child01 is affected. NOTICE: Child foregn table child02 is affected NOTICE: Child foregn table child03 rejected 'alter tempmin set default' What do you think about this? It looks a bit too loud for me though... Then the second issue, however I don't have enough idea of how ALTER TABLE works, the complexity would be reduced if acceptance chek for alter "action"s would done on foreign server or data wrapper side, not on the core of ALTER TABLE. It would also be a help to output error messages like above.

I'm worried about not that but the changes and possible inconsistency would take place behind operators' backs.

However, my anxiety is - as in my message just before - ALTER'ing foreign table definitions without any notice to operatos and irregular or random logic on check applicability(?) of ALTER actions. > Changing data type from compatible one (i.e., int to numeric, > varchar(n) to text), adding CHECK/NOT NULL constraint would be also > possible.

It says that child03 had no ability to perform the requested action, in this case setting a default value. It might be better to reject ALTER on the parent as a whole when any children doesn't accept any action. regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center

I might misunderstand your concern here, but is it the risk of > constraint violation? A bit different:) It's the problem of how and who decides whether each ALTER action given can be performed on each child. Set of available actions vary according to the nature of each foreign table/server/driver and also according to their functional evolutions made in future, largely independent of the core, maybe. The core oughtn't to.. couldn't maintain such a function judging availability of every possible combination of action and foreign table. > If so, I'd like to vote for an idea of avoiding > that violation by making the FDW in itself perform ExecQual() for each > tuple retrived from the remote server at the query time. In my humble opition, it is not so serious problem that functionally acceptable actions can cause any kind of inconsistency by the nature of fdw so far. It is well documented and operators should be aware of such inconsistencies after being informed of what they did, by the NOTICE messages.

Did you mean foreign tables can sometimes silently ignore ALTER actions which it can't perform? It will cause inconsistency which operators didn't anticipate. This example uses "add column" for perspicuitly but all types of action could result like this. ============== =# ALTER TABLE parent ADD COLUMN x integer; ALTER TABLE =# \d parent Table "public.parent"Column | Type | Modifiers --------+---------+--------------------a | integer | b | integer | x | integer | Number of child tables: 2 (Use \d+ to list them.) =# \d child1 Foreign table "public.child1" Column | Type | Modifiers | FDW Options ----------+---------+-----------+-------------a | integer | b | integer | =# (Op: Ouch!) ============== I think this should result as, ============== =# ALTER TABLE parent ADD COLUMN x integer; ERROR: Foreign child table child1 could not perform some of the actions. =# ============== regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
In addition to an issue pointed out recently by Horiguchi-san, I've found there is another issue we have to discuss. That is, we can't build any parameterized Append paths for an inheritance tree that contains at least one foreign table, in set_append_rel_pathlist(). This is because the patch doesn't take into consideration "reparameterization" for paths for a foreign table, which attempts to modify these paths to have greater parameterization so that each child path in the inheritance tree can have the exact same parameterization. To do so, I think we would need to add code for the foreign-table case to reparameterize_path(). And I think we should introduce a new FDW routine, say ReparameterizeForeignPath() because the processing would be performed best by the FDW itself. Comments are welcome! Thanks, Best regards, Etsuro Fujita
Hello, I tried minimal implementation to do that.

I think the problem is foreign childs in inheritance tables
prevents all menber in the inheritance relation from using
parameterized paths, correct?

Hmm. I tried minimal implementation to do that. This omits cost
recalculation but seems to work as expected. This seems enough if
cost recalc is trivial here.

Hello. As a minimal implementation, I made an attempt that emit
NOTICE message when alter table affects foreign tables. It looks
like following,
| =# alter table passwd add column added int, add column added2 int;
| NOTICE: This command affects foreign relation "cf1"
| NOTICE: This command affects foreign relation "cf1"
| ALTER TABLE
| =# select * from passwd;
| ERROR: missing data for column "added"
| CONTEXT: COPY cf1, line 1: "root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash"
| =#
This seems far better than silently performing the command,
except for the duplicated message:( New bitmap might required to
avoid the duplication..
I made the changes above and below as an attempt in the attached
patch foreign_inherit-v4.patch

Hello,

I rewrote it in more tidy way. ATController collects all affected
tables on ATRewriteCatalogs as first stage, then emit NOTICE
message according to the affected relations list. The message
looks like,
| =# alter table passwd alter column uname set default 'hoge';
| NOTICE: This command affects 2 foreign tables: cf1, cf2
| ALTER TABLE
Do you feel this too large or complicated? I think so a bit..
regards,

I think so a bit.. No. I think that would be a useful message for the user. My feeling is it would be better to show this kind of messages for all the affected tables whether or not the affected ones are foreign. How about introducing a VERBOSE option for ALTER TABLE? Though, I think that should be implemented as a separate patch. Thanks, Best regards, Etsuro Fujita

As I said before, I think it would be better to show this kind of information on each of the affected tables whether or not the affected one is foreign. I also think it would be better to show it only when the user has specified an option to do so, similar to a VERBOSE option of other commands.

I think we should redo the cost/size estimate, because for example, greater parameterization leads to a smaller rowcount estimate, if I understand correctly. In addition, I think this reparameterization should be done by the FDW itself, becasuse the FDW has more knowledge about it than the PG core.

Hello,

I built test environment and ran the simple test using
postgres_fdw and got parameterized path from v3 patch on the
following operation as shown there, and v6 also gives one, but I
haven't seen the reparameterization of v6 patch work.
# How could I think to have got it work before?
Do you have any idea to make postgreReparameterizeForeignPath on
foreign (child) tables works effectively?

ISTM postgresReparameterizeForeignPath() cannot be called in this query

use_remote_estimate option is true:

Hello, I could see reparameterize for foreign path to work effectively thanks to your advice. The key point was setting use_remote_estimate to false and existence of another child to get parameterized path in prior stages. The overall patch was applied on HEAD and compiled cleanly except for a warning. > analyze.c: In function ‘acquire_inherited_sample_rows’: > analyze.c:1461: warning: unused variable ‘saved_rel’ As for postgres-fdw, the point I felt uneasy in previous patch was fixed already:) - which was coping with omission of ReparameterizeForeignPath. And for file-fdw, you made a change to re-create foreignscan node instead of the previous copy-and-modify. Is the reason you did it that you considered the cost of 're-checking whether to selectively perform binary conversion' is low enough? Or other reasons? Finally, although I insist the necessity of the warning for child foreign tables on alter table, if you belive it to be put off, I'll compromise by putting a note to CF-app that last judgement is left to committer. regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center

Mmm. sorry. I missed v8 patch. Then I had a look on that and have
a question.
You've added a check for relkind of baserel of the foreign path
to be reparameterized. If this should be an assertion - not a
conditional branch -, it would be better to put the assertion in
create_foreignscan_path instead of there.

Anyway you new code seems closer to the basics and the gain by
the previous optimization don't seem to be significant..

Maybe I'm missing the point, but I don't think it'd be better to put the
assertion in create_foreignscan_path(). And I think it'd be the caller'
responsiblity to ensure that equality, as any other pathnode creation
routine for a baserel in pathnode.c assumes that equality.

Yeah, that's true. I have to admit that the previous optimization is
nonsense.

I'll do it right now, since there seems to be no objections of others. I've revised the patch a bit further, mainly the documentation. Patch attached. Note: as mentioned above, Horiguchi-san insisted that warning functionality for recursive ALTER TABLE operations for inheritance trees that contain one or more children that are foreign. However, that functionality hasn't been included in the patch, since ISTM that that functionality should be implemented as a separate patch [1]. We leave this for commiters to decide.

The assertion (not shown above but you put in parameterize_path:) seems to say that 'base relation for foreign paths must be a RTE_RELATION' isn't right? But I don't see anything putting such a restriction in reparameterize_path itself. Could you tell me where such a restriction comes from? Or who needs such a restriction? I think any assertions shouldn't be anywhere other than where just before needed. Thoughts? regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center

Please see allpaths.c, especially set_rel_pathlist(). For your information, the same assertion can be found in create_foreignscan_plan(). Thanks, Best regards, Etsuro Fujita
I've found some bugs. Attached is an updated version (v10). Changes: * When CREATE FOREIGN TABLE INHERITS, don't allow a foreign table to inherit from parent tables that have OID system columns. * When CREATE FOREIGN TABLE INHERITS, reset the storage parameter for inherited columns that have non-defaut values. * Don't allow CHECK (expr) *NO INHERIT* on foreign tables, since those tables cannot have child tables. * Fix and update the documentation.

Hello,
Before continueing discussion, I tried this patch on the current
head.
This patch applies cleanly except one hunk because of a
modification just AFTER it, which did no harm. Finally all
regression tests suceeded.
Attached is the rebased patch of v11 up to the current master.

Hi,
Selecting tableoid on parent causes an error, "ERROR: cannot extract system attribute from virtual tuple". The foreign table has an OID which can be reported as tableoid for the rows coming from that foreign table.

This patch applies cleanly except one hunk because of a

Attached is the rebased patch of v11 up to the current master.

I checked that it's reporting the right tableoid now.
BTW, why aren't you using the tlist passed to this function? I guess create_scan_plan() passes tlist after processing it, so that should be used rather than rel->reltargetlist.On Mon, Jun 30, 2014 at 12:22 PM, Etsuro Fujita <fujita.etsuro@lab.ntt.co.jp> wrote:

I wonder whether it isn't time to change that. It was coded like that
originally only because calculating the values would've been a waste of
cycles at the time. But this is at least the third place where it'd be
useful to have attr_needed for child rels.

Do you mean build_physical_tlist()? Yeah, we can call build_physical_tlist() (and do that in some cases), but if we call the function, it would generate a tlist that contains all Vars in the relation, not only those Vars actually needed by the query (ie, Vars in reltargetlist), and thus it would take more cycles to compute attr_used from the tlist than from reltargetlist. That' what I wanted to say. Thanks, Best regards, Etsuro Fujita

It needs only one effective line added, which would be seemingly far simple ingoring potential extra calculation for non-child relations (I suppose getting rid of it needs a foreach on rel->append_rel_list..) and too-longer physical tlist. On the other hand build_relation_tlist() and this patch seem to be in the same order of computational complexity for the length of the tlist. I prefer to use build_base_rel_tlist() for the clarity of code. But I don't know how high the chance to big physical tlist and non-child relations become to be an annoyance. Is there any suggestions? By the way, I tried xmin and xmax for the file_fdw tables. postgres=# select tableoid, xmin, xmax, * from passwd1; tableoid | xmin | xmax | uname | pass | uid | gid | .. 16396 | 244 | 4294967295 | root | x | 0 | 0 | root... 16396 | 252 | 4294967295 | bin | x | 1 | 1 | bin... 16396 | 284 |4294967295 | daemon | x | 2 | 2 | daemon... The xmin and xmax apparently doesn't look sane. After some investigation, I found that they came from the following place in heap_form_tuple(), (call stach is show below) | HeapTupleHeaderSetDatumLength(td, len); | HeapTupleHeaderSetTypeId(td, tupleDescriptor->tdtypeid); | HeapTupleHeaderSetTypMod(td, tupleDescriptor->tdtypmod); HeapTupleHeader is a union of HeapTupleFields and DatumTupleFields and these macors seem to treat it as the latter. Then later this tuple seems to be read as the former so xmin and xmax should have that values. This seems to be a bug. But I have no idea how to deal with it for now. I'll take more look into this. The call stack onto the above heap_form_tuple is as follows. #0 heap_form_tuple (tupleDescriptor=0x7fc46d2953a8, values=0x10dd1a0, isnull=0x10dd1f8 "") at heaptuple.c:731 #1 ExecCopySlotTuple (slot=0x10dd0e0) at execTuples.c:574 #2 ExecMaterializeSlot (slot=0x10dd0e0) at execTuples.c:760 #3 ForeignNext (node=0x10dc7b0) at nodeForeignscan.c:61 #4 ExecScanFetch (node=0x10dc7b0, accessMtd=0x66599c <ForeignNext>, recheckMtd=0x665a43 <ForeignRecheck>) at execScan.c:82 #5 ExecScan (node=0x10dc7b0, accessMtd=0x66599c <ForeignNext>, recheckMtd=0x665a43 <ForeignRecheck>) at execScan.c:167 #6 ExecForeignScan (node=0x10dc7b0) at nodeForeignscan.c:91 #7 ExecProcNode (node=0x10dc7b0) at execProcnode.c:442 regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center

Yeah, we can call build_physical_tlist() (and do that in some cases), but if we call the function, it would generate a tlist that contains all Vars in the relation, not only those Vars actually needed by the query (ie, Vars in reltargetlist), and thus it would take more cycles to compute attr_used from the tlist than from reltargetlist.

Hello,
Sorry, this was no relation with this patch.
ForeignNext materializes the slot, which would be any of physical
and virtual tuple, when system column was requested. If it was a
virtual one, file_fdw makes this, heap_form_tuple generates the
tuple as DatumTuple. The result is a jumble of virtual and
physical. But the returning slot has tts_tuple so the caller
interprets it as a physical one.
Anyway the requests for xmin/xmax could not be prevented
beforehand in current framework, I did rewrite the physical tuple
header so as to really be a physical one.
This would be another patch, so I will put this into next CF if
this don't get any immediate objection.

Yeah, we can call build_physical_tlist() (and do that in some
cases), but if we call the function, it would generate a tlist that
contains all Vars in the relation, not only those Vars actually
needed by the query (ie, Vars in reltargetlist), and thus it would

Compliance with other create_*scan_plan() functions. The tlist passed to those functions is sometimes preprocessed in create_scan_plan() and some of the function it calls. If we use reltargetlist directly, we loose that preprocessing. I have not see any of create_*scan_plan() fetch the targetlist directly from RelOptInfo. It is always the one supplied by build_path_tlist() or disuse_physical_tlist() (which in turn calls build_path_tlist()) or build_physical_tlist().

Inheritance tree is expanded far after where attr_needed for the parent built, in set_base_rel_sizes() in make_one_rel(). I'm afraid that building all attr_needed for whole inheritance tree altogether is a bit suffering. I have wanted the point of inheritance expansion earlier for another patch. Do you think that rearranging there? Or generate them individually in crete_foreign_plan()? Anyway, I'm lookin forward to your next patch.

SELECT FOR UPDATE on the inheritance parent fails with a can't-happen error condition, even when SELECT FOR UPDATE on the child foreign table alone would have succeeded. The patch adds zero tests. Add principal tests to postgres_fdw.sql. Also, create a child foreign table in foreign_data.sql; this will make dump/reload tests of the regression database exercise an inheritance tree that includes a foreign table. The inheritance section of ddl.sgml should mention child foreign tables, at least briefly. Consider mentioning it in the partitioning section, too. Your chosen ANALYZE behavior is fair, but the messaging from a database-wide ANALYZE VERBOSE needs work: INFO: analyzing "test_foreign_inherit.parent" INFO: "parent": scanned 1 of 1 pages, containing 1 live rows and 0 dead rows; 1 rows in sample, 1 estimated total rows INFO: analyzing "test_foreign_inherit.parent" inheritance tree WARNING: relcache reference leak: relation "child" not closed WARNING: relcache reference leak: relation "tchild" not closed WARNING: relcache reference leak: relation "parent" not closed Please arrange to omit the 'analyzing "tablename" inheritance tree' message, since this ANALYZE actually skipped that task. (The warnings obviously need a fix, too.) I do find it awkward that adding a foreign table to an inheritance tree will make autovacuum stop collecting statistics on that inheritance tree, but I can't think of a better policy. The rest of these review comments are strictly observations; they're not requests for you to change the patch, but they may deserve more discussion. We use the term "child table" in many messages. Should that change to something more inclusive, now that the child may be a foreign table? Perhaps one of "child relation", plain "child", or "child foreign table"/"child table" depending on the actual object? "child relation" is robust technically, but it might add more confusion than it removes. Varying the message depending on the actual object feels like a waste. Opinions? LOCK TABLE on the inheritance parent locks child foreign tables, but LOCK TABLE fails when given a foreign table directly. That's odd, but I see no cause to change it. A partition root only accepts an UPDATE command if every child is updatable. Similarly, "UPDATE ... WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name" fails if any child does not support it. That seems fine. Incidentally, does anyone have a FDW that supports WHERE CURRENT OF? The longstanding behavior of CREATE TABLE INHERITS is to reorder local columns to match the order found in parents. That is, both of these tables actually have columns in the order (a,b): create table parent (a int, b int); create table child (b int, a int) inherits (parent); Ordinary dump/reload always uses CREATE TABLE INHERITS, thereby changing column order in this way. (pg_dump --binary-upgrade uses ALTER TABLE INHERIT and some catalog hacks to avoid doing so.) I've never liked that dump/reload can change column order, but it's tolerable if you follow the best practice of always writing out column lists. The stakes rise for foreign tables, because column order is inherently significant to file_fdw and probably to certain other non-RDBMS FDWs. If pg_dump changes column order in your file_fdw foreign table, the table breaks. I would heartily support making pg_dump preserve column order for all inheritance children. That doesn't rise to the level of being a blocker for this patch, though. I am attaching rough-hewn tests I used during this review. Thanks, nm -- Noah Misch EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

Back to 9.1 gives the same result.
These xmin and xmax are the simple interpretations of a
DatumTupleFields filled by ExecMaterializedSlot() beeing fed the
source virtual tuple slot from file_fdw. On the other hand,
postgres_fdw gives sane xids (xmin = 2, xmax = 0).
This is because ForeignNext returns physical tuples in which
their headers are DatumTupleFields regardless whether the system
columns are requested or not. The fdw machinary desn't seem to
provide fdw handlers with a means to reject requests for
unavailable system columns, so the tuple header should be fixed
with the sane values as HeapTupleFields.
The patch attached fixes the header of materialized tuple to be
sane (2, 0) if the source slot was a virtual tuple in mechanism().

file_fdw isn't documented to return anything useful for xmin/xmax/etc,
so I don't find this surprising.

I don't really think it's ForeignNext's place to be doing something
about this. It seems like a useless expenditure of cycles. Besides,
this fails to cover e.g. postgres_fdw, which is likewise unconcerned
about what it returns for system columns other than ctid.

There was a problem with the previous patch, which will be described
below. Attached is the updated version of the patch addressing that.
The previous patch doesn't cope with some UNION ALL cases properly. So,
e.g., the server will crash for the following query:
postgres=# create table ta1 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create table ta2 (f2 int primary key, f3 int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create table tb1 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# create table tb2 (f2 int primary key, f3 int);
CREATE TABLE
postgres=# explain verbose select f1 from ((select f1, f2 from (select
f1, f2, f3 from ta1 left join ta2 on f1 = f2 limit 1) ssa) union all
(select f1,
f2 from (select f1, f2, f3 from tb1 left join tb2 on f1 = f2 limit 1)
ssb)) ss;
With the updated version, we get the right result:
postgres=# explain verbose select f1 from ((select f1, f2 from (select
f1, f2, f3 from ta1 left join ta2 on f1 = f2 limit 1) ssa) union all
(select f1,

about the UNION ALL handling in the previous patch in a private email.
Thank you for the review, Ashutosh!
Thanks for taking care of this one.
Here are some more comments
attr_needed also has the attributes used in the restriction clauses as seen in distribute_qual_to_rels(), so, it looks unnecessary to call pull_varattnos() on the clauses in baserestrictinfo in functions check_selective_binary_conversion(), remove_unused_subquery_outputs(), check_index_only().
Although in case of RTE_RELATION, the 0th entry in attr_needed corresponds to FirstLowInvalidHeapAttributeNumber + 1, it's always safer to use it is RelOptInfo::min_attr, in case get_relation_info() wants to change assumption or somewhere down the line some other part of code wants to change attr_needed information. It may be unlikely, that it would change, but it will be better to stick to comments in RelOptInfo
443 AttrNumber min_attr; /* smallest attrno of rel (often <0) */
444 AttrNumber max_attr; /* largest attrno of rel */
445 Relids *attr_needed; /* array indexed [min_attr .. max_attr] */

IIUC, I think it's *necessary* to do that in those functions since the
attributes used in the restriction clauses in baserestrictinfo are not
added to attr_needed due the following code in distribute_qual_to_rels.
/*
* If it's a join clause (either naturally, or because delayed by

their

To fix this, I've modified the planner and executor so that the planner adds wholerow as well as ctid and tableoid as resjunk output columns to the plan for an inheritance tree that contains foreign tables, and that while the executor uses the ctid and tableoid in the EPQ processing for child regular tables as before, the executor uses the wholerow and tableoid for child foreign tables.

As defects go, this is quite minor. There's fundamentally no value in collecting inheritance tree statistics for such a parent, and no PostgreSQL command will do so. Your proposed behavior for inheritance parents having at least one foreign table child is more likely to mislead DBAs in practice. An inheritance tree genuinely exists, and a different ANALYZE command is quite capable of collecting statistics on that inheritance tree. Messaging should reflect the difference between ANALYZE invocations that do such work and ANALYZE invocations that skip it. I'm anticipating a bug report along these lines: I saw poor estimates involving a child foreign table, so I ran "ANALYZE VERBOSE", which reported 'INFO: analyzing "public.parent"inheritance tree'. Estimates remained poor, so I scratched my head for awhile before noticing that pg_statsdidn't report such statistics. I then ran "ANALYZE VERBOSE parent", saw the same 'INFO: analyzing "public.parent"inheritance tree', but this time saw relevant rows in pg_stats. The message doesn't reflect the actual behavior. I'll sympathize with that complaint. It's a minor point overall, but the code impact is, I predict, small enough that we may as well get it right. A credible alternative is to emit a second message indicating that we skipped the inheritance tree statistics after all, and why we skipped them.

Hi Fujita-san,
I reviewed the v4 patch, and here are some comments from me.
* After applying this patch, pull_varattnos() should not called in
unnecessary places. For developers who want list of
columns-to-be-processed for some purpose, it would be nice to mention
when they should use pull_varattnos() and when they should not, maybe
at the comments of pull_varattnos() implementation.
* deparseReturningList() and postgresGetForeignRelSize() in
contrib/postgres_fdw/ also call pull_varattnos() to determine which
column to be in the SELECT clause of remote query. Shouldn't these be
replaced in the same manner? Other pull_varattnos() calls are for
restrictions, so IIUC they can't be replaced.
* Through this review I thought up that lazy evaluation approach might
fit attr_needed. I mean that we leave attr_needed for child relations
empty, and fill it at the first request for it. This would avoid
useless computation of attr_needed for child relations, though this
idea has been considered but thrown away before...

I looked this over, and TBH I'm rather disappointed. The patch adds
150 lines of dubiously-correct code in order to save ... uh, well,
actually it *adds* code, because the places that are supposedly getting
a benefit are changed like this:
*** 799,806 **** check_selective_binary_conversion(RelOptInfo *baserel, } /* Collect all the attributes needed
forjoins or final output. */
! pull_varattnos((Node *) baserel->reltargetlist, baserel->relid,
! &attrs_used); /* Add all the attributes used by restriction clauses. */ foreach(lc,
baserel->baserestrictinfo)
--- 799,810 ---- } /* Collect all the attributes needed for joins or final output. */
! for (i = baserel->min_attr; i <= baserel->max_attr; i++)
! {
! if (!bms_is_empty(baserel->attr_needed[i - baserel->min_attr]))
! attrs_used = bms_add_member(attrs_used,
! i - FirstLowInvalidHeapAttributeNumber);
! } /* Add all the attributes used by restriction clauses. */ foreach(lc, baserel->baserestrictinfo)
That's not simpler, it's not easier to understand, and it's probably not
faster either. We could address some of those complaints by encapsulating
the above loop into a utility function, but still, I come away with the
feeling that it's not worth changing this. Considering that all the
places that are doing this then proceed to use pull_varattnos to add on
attnos from the restriction clauses, it seems like using pull_varattnos
on the reltargetlist isn't such a bad thing after all.
So I'm inclined to reject this. It seemed like a good idea in the
abstract, but the concrete result isn't very attractive, and doesn't
seem like an improvement over what we have.

It might be fine; I did not actually review the new
adjust_appendrel_attr_needed code in any detail. What's scaring me off it
is (1) it's a lot longer and more complicated than I'd thought it would
be, and (2) you already made several bug fixes in it, which is often an
indicator that additional problems lurk.
It's possible there's some other, simpler, way to compute child
attr_needed arrays that would resolve (1) and (2). However, even if we
had a simple and obviously-correct way to do that, it still seems like
there's not very much benefit to be had after all. So my thought that
this would be worth doing seems wrong, and I must apologize to you for
sending you chasing down a dead end :-(

I'd like to address this by emitting the second message as shown below: INFO: analyzing "public.parent" INFO: "parent": scanned 0 of 0 pages, containing 0 live rows and 0 dead rows; 0 rows in sample, 0 estimated total rows INFO: analyzing "public.parent" inheritance tree INFO: skipping analyze of "public.parent" inheritance tree --- this inheritance tree contains foreign tables Attached is the update version of the patch.

For example, the additional HINT or DETAIL message would clarify that. > INFO: analyzing "public.parent" inheritance tree > INFO: skipping analyze of "public.parent" inheritance tree --- this > inheritance tree contains foreign tables + HINT: You can analyze this inheritance tree by specifying "public.parent" to analze command -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center
I had a cursory look at this patch and the discussions around this. ISTM there are actually two new features in this: 1) allow CHECK constraints on foreign tables, and 2) support inheritance for foreign tables. How about splitting it into two? - Heikki

That's right. There are the two in this patch. I'm not sure if I should split the patch into the two, because 1) won't make sense without 2). As described in the following note added to the docs on CREATE FOREIGN TABLE, CHECK constraints on foreign tables are intended to support constraint exclusion for partitioned foreign tables: + Constraints on foreign tables are not enforced on insert or update. + Those definitions simply declare the constraints hold for all rows + in the foreign tables.

It's not enabled by default because it can increase planning time, but if you set constraint_exclusion=on, it will work. For example: postgres=# create table foo (i int4 CHECK (i > 0)); CREATE TABLE postgres=# explain select * from foo WHERE i < 0; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------ Seq Scan on foo (cost=0.00..40.00 rows=800 width=4) Filter: (i< 0) Planning time: 0.335 ms (3 rows) postgres=# show constraint_exclusion ; constraint_exclusion ---------------------- partition (1 row) postgres=# set constraint_exclusion ='on'; SET postgres=# explain select * from foo WHERE i < 0; QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------ Result (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=0) One-Time Filter: false Planning time:0.254 ms (3 rows) postgres=# - Heikki

Here are separated patches. fdw-chk.patch - CHECK constraints on foreign tables fdw-inh.patch - table inheritance with foreign tables The latter has been created on top of [1]. I've addressed the comment from Horiguchi-san [2] in it also, though I've slightly modified his proposal. There is the functionality for path reparameterization for ForeignScan in the previous patch, but since the functionality would be useful not only for such table inheritance cases but for UNION ALL cases, I'd add the functionality as an independent feature maybe to CF 2014-12.

As I said before, I splitted the whole-in-one version into three: 1) CHECK constraint patch (ie fdw-chk.patch), 2) table inheritance patch (ie fdw-inh.patch) and 3) path reparameterization patch (not posted). In addition to that, I slightly modified #1 and #2. IIUC, #3 would be useful not only for the inheritance cases but for union all cases. So, I plan to propose it independently in the next CF. >>> I noticed that the latter disallows TRUNCATE on inheritance trees that >>> contain at least one child foreign table.

4. In test foreign_data there are changes to fix the diffs caused by these changes like below
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft1 DROP CONSTRAINT no_const; -- ERROR
-ERROR: "ft1" is not a table
+ERROR: constraint "no_const" of relation "ft1" does not exist
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft1 DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS no_const;
-ERROR: "ft1" is not a table
+NOTICE: constraint "no_const" of relation "ft1" does not exist, skipping
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft1 DROP CONSTRAINT ft1_c1_check;
-ERROR: "ft1" is not a table
+ERROR: constraint "ft1_c1_check" of relation "ft1" does not exist
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft1 DROP CONSTRAINT no_const; -- ERROR
-ERROR: "ft1" is not a table
+ERROR: constraint "no_const" of relation "ft1" does not exist
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft1 DROP CONSTRAINT IF EXISTS no_const;
-ERROR: "ft1" is not a table
+NOTICE: constraint "no_const" of relation "ft1" does not exist, skipping
ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft1 DROP CONSTRAINT ft1_c1_check;
-ERROR: "ft1" is not a table
+ERROR: constraint "ft1_c1_check" of relation "ft1" does not exist
Earlier when constraints were not supported for FOREIGN TABLE, these tests made sure the same functionality. So, even though the corresponding constraints were not created on the table (in fact it didn't allow the creation as well). Now that the constraints are allowed, I think the tests for "no_const" (without IF EXISTS) and "ft1_c1_check" are duplicating the same testcase. May be we should review this set of statement in the light of new functionality.

The answer is "no".The result of apllying whole-in-one version and this splitted
version seem to have many differences. Did you added even other
changes? Or do I understand this patch wrongly?
As I said before, I splitted the whole-in-one version into three: 1) CHECK constraint patch (ie fdw-chk.patch), 2) table inheritance patch (ie fdw-inh.patch) and 3) path reparameterization patch (not posted). In addition to that, I slightly modified #1 and #2.
IIUC, #3 would be useful not only for the inheritance cases but for union all cases. So, I plan to propose it independently in the next CF.I noticed that the latter disallows TRUNCATE on inheritance trees that
contain at least one child foreign table. But I think it would be
better to allow it, with the semantics that we quietly ignore the
child
foreign tables and apply the operation to the child plain tables,
which
is the same semantics as ALTER COLUMN SET STORAGE on such inheritance
trees. Comments welcome.
Done. And I've also a bit revised regression tests for both
patches. Patches attached.
I rebased the patches to the latest head. Here are updated patches.
Other changes:
* fdw-chk-3.patch: the updated patch revises some ereport messages a little bit.
* fdw-inh-3.patch: I noticed that there is a doc bug in the previous patch. The updated patch fixes that, adds a bit more docs, and revises regression tests in foreign_data.sql a bit further.

1. The tests added in file_fdw module look good. We should add tests for

----------------------------------
The usage of NO INHERIT and NOT VALID with CONSTRAINT on foreign table
is blocked, but corresponding documentation entry doesn't mention so.
Since foreign tables can not be inherited NO INHERIT option isn't
applicable to foreign tables and the constraints on the foreign tables
are declarative, hence NOT VALID option is also not applicable. So, I
agree with what the code is doing, but that should be reflected in
documentation with this explanation.
Rest of the code modifies the condition checks for CHECK CONSTRAINTs on
foreign tables, and it looks good to me.
Done.
Other changes:
* Modified one error message that I added in AddRelationNewConstraints, to match the other message there.
* Revised other docs a little bit.
Attached is an updated version of the patch.
I looked at the patch. It looks good now. Once we have the inh patch ready, we can mark this item as ready for commiter.

IMO, the test is not so time-consuming, so it doesn't seem worth

You are right, but I feel that there is something out of place in saying
that there (5.10.2. Implementing Partitioning) because the procedure
there has been written based on normal tables only. Put another way, if
we say that, I think we'd need to add more docs, describing the syntax
and/or the corresponding examples for foreign-table cases. But I'd like
to leave that for another patch. So, how about the wording "we assume
*here* that", instead of "we assume that", as I added the following
notice in the previous section (5.10.1. Overview)?

Sorry, I incorrectly wrote the comment. What I tried to write is "We
fail and return zero if there are no inheritance children or if we are
not in VAC_MODE_SINGLE case and inheritance tree contains at least one
foreign table.".

I introduced that for possible future use. See the discussion in [1].

As you mentioned, I think we could set rte->hasForeign directly during
the scan for the inheritance set, without the separate variable,
hasForeign. But ISTM that it'd improve code readability to set
rte->hasForeign using the separate variable at the end of the function
because rte->hasForeign has its meaning only when rte->inh is true and
because we know whether rte->inh is true, at the end of the function.

Will fix.
Apart from the above, I noticed that the patch doesn't consider to call
ExplainForeignModify during EXPLAIN for an inherited UPDATE/DELETE, as
shown below (note that there are no UPDATE remote queries displayed):
postgres=# explain verbose update parent set a = a * 2 where a = 5; QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update on public.parent
(cost=0.00..280.77rows=25 width=10) -> Seq Scan on public.parent (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=10) Output:
(parent.a* 2), parent.ctid Filter: (parent.a = 5) -> Foreign Scan on public.ft1 (cost=100.00..140.38
rows=12width=10) Output: (ft1.a * 2), ft1.ctid Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.mytable_1 WHERE
((a=
5)) FOR UPDATE -> Foreign Scan on public.ft2 (cost=100.00..140.38 rows=12 width=10) Output: (ft2.a * 2),
ft2.ctid Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.mytable_2 WHERE ((a =
5)) FOR UPDATE
(10 rows)
So, I'd like to modify explain.c to show those queries like this:
postgres=# explain verbose update parent set a = a * 2 where a = 5; QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update on public.parent
(cost=0.00..280.77rows=25 width=10) -> Seq Scan on public.parent (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=10) Output:
(parent.a* 2), parent.ctid Filter: (parent.a = 5) Remote SQL: UPDATE public.mytable_1 SET a = $2 WHERE ctid =
$1 -> Foreign Scan on public.ft1 (cost=100.00..140.38 rows=12 width=10) Output: (ft1.a * 2), ft1.ctid
Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.mytable_1 WHERE ((a =
5)) FOR UPDATE Remote SQL: UPDATE public.mytable_2 SET a = $2 WHERE ctid = $1 -> Foreign Scan on public.ft2
(cost=100.00..140.38rows=12 width=10) Output: (ft2.a * 2), ft2.ctid Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM
public.mytable_2WHERE ((a =
5)) FOR UPDATE
(12 rows)
What do you say?
Sorry for the delay.

1. It seems like you have copied from testcase inherit.sql to
postgres_fdw testcase. That's a good thing, but it makes the test quite
long. May be we should have two tests in postgres_fdw contrib module,
one for simple cases, and other for inheritance. What do you say?
IMO, the test is not so time-consuming, so it doesn't seem worth splitting it into two.
I am not worried about the timing but I am worried about the length of the file and hence ease of debugging in case we find any issues there. We will leave that for the commiter to decide.

adds phrase "we assume that", which confuses the intention behind the
sentence. The original text is intended to highlight the equivalence
between "partition" and "normal table", where as the addition esp. the
word "assume" weakens that equivalence. Instead now we have to highlight
the equivalence between "partition" and "normal or foreign table". The
wording similar to "though they are either normal or foreign tables"
should be used there.

Sorry, I incorrectly wrote the comment. What I tried to write is "We fail and return zero if there are no inheritance children or if we are not in VAC_MODE_SINGLE case and inheritance tree contains at least one foreign table.".
You might want to use "English" description of VAC_MODE_SINGLE instead of that macro in the comment, so that reader doesn't have to look up VAC_MODE_SINGLE. But I think, we will leave this for the committer.
2. The function has_foreign() be better named has_foreign_child()? This

function loops through all the tableoids passed even after it has found

Thanks.
3. Regarding enum VacuumMode - it's being used only in case of
acquire_inherited_sample_rows() and that too, to check only a single
value of the three defined there. May be we should just infer that value
inside acquire_inherited_sample_rows() or pass a boolean true or false
from do_analyse_rel() based on the VacuumStmt. I do not see need for a
separate three value enum of which only one value is used and also to
pass it down from vacuum() by changing signatures of the minion functions.
I introduced that for possible future use. See the discussion in [1].
Will leave it for the commiter to decide.
4. In postgresGetForeignPlan(), the code added by this patch is required
to handle the case when the row mark is placed on a parent table and
hence is required to be applied on the child table. We need a comment
explaining this. Otherwise, the three step process to get the row mark
information isn't clear for a reader.
Will add the comment.5. In expand_inherited_rtentry() why do you need a separate variable
hasForeign? Instead of using that variable, you can actually set/reset
rte->hasForeign since existence of even a single foreign child would
mark that member as true. - After typing this, I got the answer when I
looked at the function code. Every child's RTE is initially a copy of
parent's RTE and hence hasForeign status would be inherited by every
child after the first foreign child. I think, this reasoning should be
added as comment before assignment to rte->hasForeign at the end of the
function.
As you mentioned, I think we could set rte->hasForeign directly during the scan for the inheritance set, without the separate variable, hasForeign. But ISTM that it'd improve code readability to set rte->hasForeign using the separate variable at the end of the function because rte->hasForeign has its meaning only when rte->inh is true and because we know whether rte->inh is true, at the end of the function.
Fine. Please use "hasForeignChild" instead of just "hasForeign" without a clue as to what is "foreign" here.
6. The tests in foreign_data.sql are pretty extensive. Thanks for that.
I think, we should also check the effect of each of the following
command using \d on appropriate tables.
+CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ft2 () INHERITS (pt1)
+ SERVER s0 OPTIONS (delimiter ',', quote '"', "be quoted" 'value');
+ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft2 NO INHERIT pt1;
+DROP FOREIGN TABLE ft2;
+CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ft2 (
+ c1 integer NOT NULL,
+ c2 text,
+ c3 date
+) SERVER s0 OPTIONS (delimiter ',', quote '"', "be quoted" 'value');
+ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft2 INHERIT pt1;
Will fix.
Apart from the above, I noticed that the patch doesn't consider to call ExplainForeignModify during EXPLAIN for an inherited UPDATE/DELETE, as shown below (note that there are no UPDATE remote queries displayed):
postgres=# explain verbose update parent set a = a * 2 where a = 5;
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update on public.parent (cost=0.00..280.77 rows=25 width=10)
-> Seq Scan on public.parent (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=10)
Output: (parent.a * 2), parent.ctid
Filter: (parent.a = 5)
-> Foreign Scan on public.ft1 (cost=100.00..140.38 rows=12 width=10)
Output: (ft1.a * 2), ft1.ctid
Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.mytable_1 WHERE ((a = 5)) FOR UPDATE
-> Foreign Scan on public.ft2 (cost=100.00..140.38 rows=12 width=10)
Output: (ft2.a * 2), ft2.ctid
Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.mytable_2 WHERE ((a = 5)) FOR UPDATE
(10 rows)
So, I'd like to modify explain.c to show those queries like this:
postgres=# explain verbose update parent set a = a * 2 where a = 5;
QUERY PLAN
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update on public.parent (cost=0.00..280.77 rows=25 width=10)

Filter: (parent.a = 5)

-> Foreign Scan on public.ft1 (cost=100.00..140.38 rows=12 width=10)
Output: (ft1.a * 2), ft1.ctid
Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.mytable_1 WHERE ((a = 5)) FOR UPDATE
Remote SQL: UPDATE public.mytable_2 SET a = $2 WHERE ctid = $1
-> Foreign Scan on public.ft2 (cost=100.00..140.38 rows=12 width=10)
Output: (ft2.a * 2), ft2.ctid
Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.mytable_2 WHERE ((a = 5)) FOR UPDATE
(12 rows)
What do you say?
Two "remote SQL" under a single node would be confusing. Also the node is labelled as "Foreign Scan". It would be confusing to show an "UPDATE" command under this "scan" node.
BTW, I was experimenting with DMLs being executed on multiple FDW server under same transaction and found that the transactions may not be atomic (and may be inconsistent), if one or more of the server fails to commit while rest of them commit the transaction. The reason for this is, we do not "rollback" the already "committed" changes to the foreign server, if one or more of them fail to "commit" a transaction. With foreign tables under inheritance hierarchy a single DML can span across multiple servers and the result may not be atomic (and may be inconsistent). So, either we have to disable DMLs on an inheritance hierarchy which spans multiple servers. OR make sure that such transactions follow 2PC norms.
Sorry for the delay.

I think we should show update commands somewhere for the inherited case as for the non-inherited case. Alternatives to this are welcome.
This is not exactly extension of non-inheritance case. non-inheritance case doesn't show two remote SQLs under the same plan node. May be you can rename the label Remote SQL as Remote UPDATE/INSERT/DELETE (or something to that effect) for the DML command and the Foreign plan node should be renamed to Foreign access node or something to indicate that it does both the scan as well as DML. I am not keen about the actual terminology, but I think a reader of plan shouldn't get confused.

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think the current implementation for committing transactions has such a mechanism stated in step 1. So, I think it's possible that the local transaction fails in step3 while the remote transaction succeeds, as mentioned above. Thanks, Best regards, Etsuro Fujita

Looks better.
IIUC, even the transactions over the local and the *single* remote
server are not guaranteed to be executed atomically in the current
form. It is possible that the remote transaction succeeds and the
local one fails, for example, resulting in data inconsistency
between the local and the remote.IIUC, while committing transactions involving a single remote server,
the steps taken are as follows
1. the local changes are brought to PRE-COMMIT stage, which means that
the transaction *will* succeed locally after successful completion of
this phase,
2. COMMIT message is sent to the foreign server
3. If step two succeeds, local changes are committed and successful
commit is conveyed to the client
4. if step two fails, local changes are rolled back and abort status is
conveyed to the client
5. If step 1 itself fails, the remote changes are rolled back.
This is as per one phase commit protocol which guarantees ACID for
single foreign data source. So, the changes involving local and a single
foreign server seem to be atomic and consistent.
Really? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think the current implementation for committing transactions has such a mechanism stated in step 1. So, I think it's possible that the local transaction fails in step3 while the remote transaction succeeds, as mentioned above.
PFA a script attached which shows this. You may want to check the code in pgfdw_xact_callback() for actions taken by postgres_fdw on various events. CommitTransaction() for how those events are generated. The code there complies with the sequence above.

Yeah, but I'd like to propose that this line is shown by the FDW API (ie, ExplainForeignModify) as in non-inherited update cases, so that the FDW developer can choose the right name. As for "On public.ft1", I'd like to propose that the FDW API also show that by calling a function for that introduced into the PG core (Would it be better to use "For" rather than "On"?). Sorry, my explanation was not enough. Best regards, Etsuro Fujita

one server commit while another aborts, other causes remain. The local
transaction could still fail due to WAL I/O problems or a system crash. 2PC
is the reliable answer, but that was explicitly out of scope for the initial
postgres_fdw write support. Does this inheritance patch add any atomicity
problem that goes away when one breaks up the inheritance hierarchy and
UPDATEs each table separately? If not, this limitation is okay.
If the UPDATES crafted after breaking up the inheritance hierarchy are needed to be run within the same transaction (as the UPDATE on inheritance hierarchy would do), yes, there is atomicity problem.

ISTM that your concern would basically a known problem. Consider the following transaction. BEGIN TRANSACTION; UPDATE foo SET a = 100; -- updates on table foo in remote server1 UPDATE bar SET a = 100; -- updates on table bar in remote server2 COMMIT TRANSACTION; This transaction would cause the atomicity problem if pgfdw_xact_callback() for XACT_EVENT_PRE_COMMIT for foo succeeded and then that for bar failed during CommitTransaction().

I noticed that the signatures need not to be modified, as you said.
Thanks for pointing that out! So, I revised the patch not to change the
signatures, though I left the enum, renaming it to AnalyzeMode. Let's
have the committer's review.

Since there seems to be no objections, I updated the patch as proposed
upthread. Here is an example.
postgres=# explain (format text, verbose) update parent as p set a = a *
2 returning *;
QUERY PLAN
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update on public.parent p (cost=0.00..202.33 rows=11 width=10)
Output: p.a
For public.ft1 p_1
Remote SQL: UPDATE public.mytable_1 SET a = $2 WHERE ctid = $1
RETURNING a
For public.ft2 p_2
Remote SQL: UPDATE public.mytable_2 SET a = $2 WHERE ctid = $1
RETURNING a
-> Seq Scan on public.parent p (cost=0.00..0.00 rows=1 width=10)
Output: (p.a * 2), p.ctid
-> Foreign Scan on public.ft1 p_1 (cost=100.00..101.16 rows=5
width=10)
Output: (p_1.a * 2), p_1.ctid
Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.mytable_1 FOR UPDATE
-> Foreign Scan on public.ft2 p_2 (cost=100.00..101.16 rows=5
width=10)
Output: (p_2.a * 2), p_2.ctid
Remote SQL: SELECT a, ctid FROM public.mytable_2 FOR UPDATE
(14 rows)
Other changes:
* revised regression tests for contrib/file_fdw to refer to tableoid.
* revised docs a bit further.
Attached are updated patches. Patch fdw-inh-5.patch has been created on
top of patch fdw-chk-5.patch. Patch fdw-chk-5.patch is basically the
same as the previous one fdw-chk-4.patch, but I slightly modified that
one. The changes are the following.
* added to foreign_data.sql more tests for your comments.
* revised docs on ALTER FOREIGN TABLE a bit further.
Thanks,

between "partition" and "normal table", where as the addition
esp. the
word "assume" weakens that equivalence. Instead now we have to
highlight
the equivalence between "partition" and "normal or foreign
table". The
wording similar to "though they are either normal or foreign tables"
should be used there.You are right, but I feel that there is something out of place in
saying that there (5.10.2. Implementing Partitioning) because the
procedure there has been written based on normal tables only. Put
another way, if we say that, I think we'd need to add more docs,
describing the syntax and/or the corresponding examples for
foreign-table cases. But I'd like to leave that for another patch.
So, how about the wording "we assume *here* that", instead of "we
assume that", as I added the following notice in the previous
section (5.10.1. Overview)?

I corrected the comments and translated the macro into the English description.2. The function has_foreign() be better named
has_foreign_child()? ThisHow about "has_foreign_table"?has_foreign_child() would be better, since these are "children" in the
inheritance hierarchy and not mere "table"s.
Done. But I renamed it to has_foreign_children() because it sounds more natural at least to me.function loops through all the tableoids passed even after it
has found
a foreign table. Why can't we return true immediately after
finding the
first foreign table, unless the side effects of heap_open() on
all the

tables are locked already through a previous call to
heap_open(). In theGood catch! Will fix.same function instead of argument name parentrelId may be we
should use

Done.3. Regarding enum VacuumMode - it's being used only in case of
acquire_inherited_sample_rows(__) and that too, to check only a
single
value of the three defined there. May be we should just infer
that value
inside acquire_inherited_sample_rows(__) or pass a boolean true
or false
from do_analyse_rel() based on the VacuumStmt. I do not see need
for a
separate three value enum of which only one value is used and
also to
pass it down from vacuum() by changing signatures of the minion
functions.I introduced that for possible future use. See the discussion in [1].Will leave it for the commiter to decide.
I noticed that the signatures need not to be modified, as you said. Thanks for pointing that out! So, I revised the patch not to change the signatures, though I left the enum, renaming it to AnalyzeMode. Let's have the committer's review.4. In postgresGetForeignPlan(), the code added by this patch is
required
to handle the case when the row mark is placed on a parent table and
hence is required to be applied on the child table. We need a
comment
explaining this. Otherwise, the three step process to get the
row mark
information isn't clear for a reader.Will add the comment.
Done.5. In expand_inherited_rtentry() why do you need a separate variable
hasForeign? Instead of using that variable, you can actually
set/reset
rte->hasForeign since existence of even a single foreign child would
mark that member as true. - After typing this, I got the answer
when I
looked at the function code. Every child's RTE is initially a
copy of
parent's RTE and hence hasForeign status would be inherited by every
child after the first foreign child. I think, this reasoning
should be
added as comment before assignment to rte->hasForeign at the end
of the
function.As you mentioned, I think we could set rte->hasForeign directly
during the scan for the inheritance set, without the separate
variable, hasForeign. But ISTM that it'd improve code readability
to set rte->hasForeign using the separate variable at the end of the
function because rte->hasForeign has its meaning only when rte->inh
is true and because we know whether rte->inh is true, at the end of
the function.Fine. Please use "hasForeignChild" instead of just "hasForeign" without
a clue as to what is "foreign" here.
Done. But I renamed it to "hasForeignChildren".6. The tests in foreign_data.sql are pretty extensive. Thanks
for that.
I think, we should also check the effect of each of the following
command using \d on appropriate tables.
+CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ft2 () INHERITS (pt1)
+ SERVER s0 OPTIONS (delimiter ',', quote '"', "be quoted"
'value');
+ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft2 NO INHERIT pt1;
+DROP FOREIGN TABLE ft2;
+CREATE FOREIGN TABLE ft2 (
+ c1 integer NOT NULL,
+ c2 text,
+ c3 date
+) SERVER s0 OPTIONS (delimiter ',', quote '"', "be quoted"
'value');
+ALTER FOREIGN TABLE ft2 INHERIT pt1;Will fix.
Done.Apart from the above, I noticed that the patch doesn't consider to
call ExplainForeignModify during EXPLAIN for an inherited
UPDATE/DELETE, as shown below (note that there are no UPDATE remote
queries displayed):
Since there seems to be no objections, I updated the patch as proposed upthread. Here is an example.
postgres=# explain (format text, verbose) update parent as p set a = a * 2 returning *;

Update on public.parent p (cost=0.00..202.33 rows=11 width=10)

Other changes:

I've committed fdw-chk-5.patch with some minor further adjustments;
the most notable one was that I got rid of the error check prohibiting
NO INHERIT, which did not seem to me to have any value. Attaching such
a clause won't have any effect, but so what?
Have not looked at the other patch yet.

I added the error check because the other patch, fdw-inh-5.patch, doesn't allow foreign tables to be inherited and so it seems more consistent at least to me to do so. Best regards, Etsuro Fujita

Yeah, we need to do something about the PlanRowMark data structure.
Aside from the pre-existing issue in postgres_fdw, we need to fix it
to support inheritance trees in which more than one rowmark method
is being used. That rte.hasForeignChildren thing is a crock, and
would still be a crock even if it were correctly documented as being
a planner temporary variable (rather than the current implication that
it's always valid). RangeTblEntry is no place for planner temporaries.
The idea I'd had about that was to convert the markType field into a
bitmask, so that a parent node's markType could represent the logical
OR of the rowmark methods being used by all its children. I've not
attempted to code this up though, and probably won't get to it until
after Christmas. One thing that's not clear is what should happen
with ExecRowMark.

That seems like a good idea, as parent PlanRowMarks are ignored at runtime. Aside from the above, I noticed that the patch has a bug in handling ExecRowMarks/ExecAuxRowMarks for foreign tables in inheritance trees during the EPQ processing.:-( Attached is an updated version of the patch to fix that, which has been created on top of [1], as said before.

Done based on your ideas: (a) add a field to PlanRowMark to record the original lock strength to fix the postgres_fdw issue and (b) convert its markType field into a bitmask to support the inheritance trees.

I've been working through the foreign table inheritance patch, and found
the code that makes the above happen. I don't think this is a good idea
at all. In the first place, successful TRUNCATE should leave the table
empty, not "well, we'll make it empty if we feel up to that". In the
second place, someday we might want to make TRUNCATE actually work for
foreign tables (at least for FDWs that want to support it). If we did,
we would have a backwards-compatibility hazard, because suddenly a
TRUNCATE on an inheritance tree that includes a foreign table would have
different non-error effects than before.
I think we should just throw error in this case.
BTW, the SET STORAGE comparison is bogus as well. I see no reason that
we shouldn't just allow SET STORAGE on foreign tables. It's probably
not going to have any effect, but so what? And again, if we did ever
find a use for that, we'd have a compatibility problem if inherited SET
STORAGE has a pre-existing behavior that it skips foreign children.
In the same vein, I'm planning to take out the existing prohibition on
marking CHECK constraints on foreign tables NOT VALID. That likewise
creates a corner case for inheritance trees for no obviously good reason.
It was reasonable to be conservative about whether to allow that so long
as there were no side-effects; but putting warts into the behavior of
inheritance trees to preserve the prohibition is not a good outcome.

I've committed this with some substantial rearrangements, notably:
* I thought that if we were doing this at all, we should go all the way
and allow foreign tables to be both inheritance parents and children.
* As I mentioned earlier, I got rid of a few unnecessary restrictions on
foreign tables so as to avoid introducing warts into inheritance behavior.
In particular, we now allow NOT VALID CHECK constraints (and hence ALTER
... VALIDATE CONSTRAINT), ALTER SET STORAGE, and ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT
OIDS. These are probably no-ops anyway for foreign tables, though
conceivably an FDW might choose to implement some behavior for STORAGE
or OIDs.
* I did not like the EXPLAIN changes at all; in the first place they
resulted in invalid JSON output (there could be multiple fields of the
Update plan object with identical labels), and in the second place it
seemed like a bad idea to rely on FDWs to change the behavior of their
ExplainModifyTarget functions. I've refactored that so that explain.c
remains responsible for getting the grouping right. Also, as I said
earlier, it seemed like a good idea to produce subgroups identifying
all the target tables not only the foreign ones.
* I fooled around with the PlanRowMark changes some more, mainly with
the idea that we might soon allow FDWs to use rowmark methods other than
ROW_MARK_COPY. The planner now has just one place where a rel's rowmark
method is chosen, so as to centralize anything we need to do there.

I found that when setting a foreign table to be the parent of an inheritance set that only contains foreign tables, SELECT FOR UPDATE on the inheritance parent fails with a can't-happen error condition. Here is an example: $ createdb mydb $ psql mydb psql (9.5devel) Type "help" for help. mydb=# create table t1 (c1 int); CREATE TABLE mydb=# create table t2 (c1 int); CREATE TABLE $ psql postgres psql (9.5devel) Type "help" for help. postgres=# create extension postgres_fdw; CREATE EXTENSION postgres=# create server myserver foreign data wrapper postgres_fdw options (dbname 'mydb'); CREATE SERVER postgres=# create user mapping for current_user server myserver; CREATE USER MAPPING postgres=# create foreign table ft1 (c1 int) server myserver options (table_name 't1'); CREATE FOREIGN TABLE postgres=# create foreign table ft2 (c1 int) server myserver options (table_name 't2'); CREATE FOREIGN TABLE postgres=# alter foreign table ft2 inherit ft1; ALTER FOREIGN TABLE postgres=# select * from ft1 for update; ERROR: could not find junk tableoid1 column I think this is a bug.

Attached is a patch fixing this issue. What happens when the foreign side breaks the inheritance? Does the FDW somehow know to check that fact for each query? What do you gain from having the local table have inheritance? Basically, I think we have to be very careful about implementing features that imply the local side knows something about the persisted state of the remote side (in this case, whether there's inheritance).

The remote tables don't have to have an inheritance relationship already; only the local side sees them as connected. I think the real question is whether we're now (I mean after this patch) emitting useless tableoid columns that we didn't previously have. I think the answer is yes, and if so I think we need a smaller comb to fix the problem.

Hi, Before suppressing the symptom, I doubt the necessity and/or validity of giving foreign tables an ability to be a parent. Is there any reasonable usage for the ability? I think we should choose to inhibit foreign tables from becoming a parent rather than leaving it allowed then taking measures for the consequent symptom. regards, At Tue, 14 Apr 2015 15:52:18 -0300, Alvaro Herrera <alvherre@2ndquadrant.com> wrote in <20150414185218.GX4369@alvh.no-ip.org> > Jim Nasby wrote: > > On 4/14/15 5:49 AM, Etsuro Fujita wrote: > > > postgres=# create foreign table ft1 (c1 int) server myserver options > > > (table_name 't1'); > > > CREATE FOREIGN TABLE > > > postgres=# create foreign table ft2 (c1 int) server myserver options > > > (table_name 't2'); > > > CREATE FOREIGN TABLE > > > postgres=# alter foreign table ft2 inherit ft1; > > > ALTER FOREIGN TABLE > > > postgres=# select * from ft1 for update; > > > ERROR: could not find junk tableoid1 column > > > > > > I think this is a bug.

My answer for that would be *no* because I think tableoid would be needed for EvalPlanQual checking in more complex SELECT FOR UPDATE on the inheritance or UPDATE/DELETE involving the inheritance as a source table. Also, if we allow the FDW to change the behavior of SELECT FOR UPDATE so as to match the local semantics exactly, which I'm working on in another thread, I think tableoid would also be needed for the actual row locking.

Given the parent foreign talbes, surely they need tableoids for such usage. The patch preserves the condition rc->isParent so it newly affects exactly only parent foreign tables for now. Before the parent foreign tables introduced, ROW_MARK_COPY and RTE_RELATION are mutually exclusive so didn't need, or cannot have tableoid. But now it intorduces an rte with ROW_MARK_COPY & RTE_RELATION and there seems no reason for parent tables in any kind not to have tableoid. After such consideration, I came to think that the patch is a reasonable fix, not mere a workaround. Thoughts? regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center

However, ISTM there is a bug in handling OIDs on foreign tables; while we now allow for ALTER SET WITH/WITHOUT OIDS, we still don't allow the default_with_oids parameter for foreign tables. I think that since CREATE FOREIGN TABLE should be consistent with ALTER FOREIGN TABLE, we should also allow the parameter for foreign tables. Attached is a patch for that. Best regards, Etsuro Fujita

I have a use case for having foreign tables as non-leaf nodes in a partitioning hierarchy, namely geographic. One might have a table at HQ called foo_world, then partitions under it called foo_jp, foo_us, etc., in one level, foo_us_ca, foo_us_pa, etc. in the next level, and on down, each in general in a separate data center. Is there something essential about having non-leaf nodes as foreign tables that's a problem here?

No. I'm convinced of the necessity. Sorry for the noise.

Yes, as mentioned above, there's no reason to refuse non-leaf foregin tables. I didn't understood the real cause of the problem and thought that not allowing foreign *root* tables seem better than tweaking elsewhere. But that thought found to be totally a garbage :( regards, -- Kyotaro Horiguchi NTT Open Source Software Center

I believe that we intentionally did not do this, and here is why not:
existing pg_dump files assume that default_with_oids doesn't affect any
relation type except plain tables. pg_backup_archiver.c only bothers
to change the GUC when about to dump a plain table, and otherwise leaves
it at its previous value. That means if we apply a patch like this, it's
entirely possible that pg_dump/pg_restore will result in foreign tables
accidentally acquiring OID columns.
Since default_with_oids is really only meant as a backwards-compatibility
hack, I don't personally have a problem with restricting it to act only on
plain tables. However, it might be a good idea to explicitly document
this interaction in a code comment to prevent anyone from re-inventing
this idea... I'll go do that.

FWIW, I think we're getting pretty close to the point, or are there even, where we can remove default_with_oids. So not adding complications because of it sounds good to me. Greetings, Andres Freund

Well, pg_dump uses it --- so the argument about not breaking old dump
scripts would apply to any attempt to remove it entirely. But I don't
have a problem with saying that its semantics are frozen.
