* [PATCH v37 4/6] Index skip scan

From: Dmitrii Dolgov @ 2020-06-08 18:39 UTC (permalink / raw)

Implementation of basic Index Skip Scan (see Loose Index Scan in the
wiki [1]) infrastructure on top of IndexOnlyScan and IndexScan.
Introduces a new index am function amskip to allow advance past
duplicate key values in a scan. This innocently looking description
could be a bit tricky on the edge between am specific and common parts
of the implementation, mostly due to different information available at
each level, e.g. visibility. This means the common parts should apply
skipping multiple times if necessary.

Original patch and design were proposed by Thomas Munro [2], revived and
improved by Dmitry Dolgov and Jesper Pedersen.

I think avoiding even more untested code is good, so +1 for keeping at
it.

Thanks for the correction. Now I feel like I've skipped some of the
readings!

Updated patch attached. Informally, I am adopting the regress_* policy for
all object types.

Subject: [PATCH] Remove source code display from \df+

The column is renamed to "Internal name" and will still show the internal
name for C and Internal functions.

That's excessive.  The policy Alvaro mentions applies to globally-visible
object names (i.e., database, role, and tablespace names), and it's there
to try to ensure that doing "make installcheck" against a live
installation won't clobber any non-test-created objects.  There's no point
in having such a policy within a test database --- its most likely effect
there would be to increase the risk that different test scripts step on
each others' toes.  If you feel a need for a name prefix for non-global
objects, use something based on the name of your test script.

I already used a test-specific prefix, then added "regress_" in front.
Point taken, however, on the difference between global and non-global
objects.

But now I'm having a problem I don't understand: the CI are still failling,
but not in the psql test. Instead, I get this:

As far as I can tell this is the only failure and doesn’t have anything to
do with my change. Unless the objects I added are messing it up? Unlike
when the psql regression test was failing, I don’t see an indication of
where I can see the diffs.

But we *are* talking about the role to be created to allow stable output
of \df+ , so it's necessary to name it "regress_*".  To appease
ENFORCE_REGRESSION_TEST_NAME_RESTRICTIONS, and to avoid clobbering
global objects during "installcheck".

Tom is talking about my informal policy of prefixing all objects. Only
global objects need to be prefixed with regress_, but I prefixed everything
I created (functions as well as the role). I actually called the
role regress_psql_df and used that entire role name as the prefix of my
function names, so I think it unlikely that I’ll collide with anything else.

You'll find the diff in the "artifacts", but not a separate "diff" file.
https://api.cirrus-ci.com/v1/artifact/task/6146418377752576/testrun/build/testrun/pg_upgrade/002_pg_...

 CREATE FUNCTION public.regress_psql_df_sql() RETURNS void
     LANGUAGE sql
     BEGIN ATOMIC
- SELECT NULL::text;
+ SELECT NULL::text AS text;
 END;

It's failing because after restoring the function, the column is named
"text" - maybe it's a bug.

Tom's earlier point was that neither the function nor its owner needs to
be preserved (as is done to exercise pg_dump/restore/upgrade - surely
functions are already tested).  Dropping it when you're done running \df
will avoid any possible issue with pg_upgrade.

Were you able to test with your own github account ?
