We could end up with something like this. But probably we would need something more general for extensions which wants to play with statistics. For instance, pg_trgm could estimate selectivity for "text % text" operator. But in order to provide that it needs trigram statistics. Now it could be implemented by defining separate datatype, but it's a kluge.

We could try to workout simple cases, but postgres optimizer currently doesn't care about it. # explain select * from test where val = 'val' and val != 'val'; QUERY PLAN - Seq Scan on test (cost=0.00..39831.00 rows=45 width=8) Filter: ((val <> 'val'::text) AND (val = 'val'::text)) (2 rows) I think we could do the same inside intquery until we figure out some better solution for postgres optimizer in general. > I have not been creative enough to come up with queries for which this > improvement in selectivity estimate causes the execution plan to change in > important ways.

Problem is that selectivity estimation is quite complex process and its result depending on random sampling during analyze, floating points operations and so on. We could make a test like "with very high level of confidence, estimate number of rows here should be in [10;100]". But it's hard to fit such assumptions into our current regression tests infrastructure.

The first line of intarray--1.1.sql mis-identifies itself as "/* contrib/intarray/intarray--1.0.sql */" The real file intarray--1.0.sql file probably should not be included in the final patch, but I like having it for testing. It applies and builds cleanly over the alter operator patch (and now the commit as well), passes make check of the contrib module both with and without cassert. I could succesfully upgrade from version 1.0 to 1.1 without having to drop the gin__int_ops indexes in the process. I could do pg_upgrade from 9.2 and 9.4 to 9.6devel with large indexes in place, and then upgrade the extension to 1.1, and it worked without having to rebuild the index. It does what it says, and I think we want this. There were some cases where the estimates were not very good, but that seems to be limitation of what pg_stats makes available, not of this patch. Specifically if the elements listed in the query text are not part of most_common_elems (or worse yet, most_common_elems is null) then it is left to guess with no real data, and those guesses can be pretty bad. It is not this patches job to fix that, however. It assumes all the stats are independent and so doesn't account for correlation between members. This is also how the core selectivity estimates work between columns, so I can't really complain about that. It is easy to trick it with things like @@ '(!300 & 300)'::query_int, but I don't think that is necessary to fix that. I have not been creative enough to come up with queries for which this improvement in selectivity estimate causes the execution plan to change in important ways. I'm sure the serious users of this module would have such cases, however. I haven't tested gist__int_ops as I can't get those indexes to build in a feasible amount of time. But the selectivity estimates are independent of any actual index, so testing those doesn't seem to be critical. There is no documentation change, which makes sense as this internal stuff which isn't documented to start with. There are no regression test changes. Not sure about that, it does seem like regression tests would be desirable. I haven't gone through the C code. Cheers, Jeff

Perhaps it isn't; we certainly have assumptions that pg_amop, for instance, changes seldom enough that it's not worth tracking individual changes. The same might be true of pg_operator.

I'm pretty dubious about this, because we lack any mechanism for undoing parser/planner decisions based on operator properties. And there's quite a lot of stuff that is based on the assumption that operator properties will never change. An example of the pitfalls here is that we can never allow ALTER OPERATOR RENAME, because for example if you rename '<' to '~<~' that will change its precedence, and we have no way to fix the parse trees embedded in stored views to reflect that. For the specific cases you mention, perhaps it would be all right if we taught plancache.c to blow away *all* cached plans upon seeing any change in pg_operator; but that seems like a brute-force solution. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers

[HACKERS] Selectivity estimation for intarray
Hackers, currently built-in &&, @>, <@ array operators have selectivity estimations while same operator in intarray contrib haven't them. Problem is that operators in intarray contrib still use contsel and contjoinsel functions for selectivity estimation even when built-in operators receive their specific selectivity estimations. Attached patch adds selectivity estimation functions to &&, @>, <@ operators in intarray contrib. In order to have less code duplication they are just wrappers over built-in selectivity estimation functions. However, I faced a problem of migration scripts. Currently, ALTER OPERATOR can only change owner and schema of operator not operator parameters themselves. Change pg_operator directly is also not an option. At first, it would be kludge. At second, in order to correctly find corresponding operator in pg_operator migration script need to know schema where extension is installed. But it can't refer @extschema@ because extension is relocatable. My proposal is to let ALTER OPERATOR change restrict and join selectivity functions of the operator. Also it would be useful to be able to change commutator and negator of operator: extension could add commutators and negators in further versions. Any thoughts? -- With best regards, Alexander Korotkov. intarray-sel-1.patch Description: Binary data -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
