- * supportnodes.h
- * Definitions for planner support functions.
- *
- * This file defines the API for "planner support functions", which
- * are SQL functions (normally written in C) that can be attached to
- * another "target" function to give the system additional knowledge
- * about the target function. All the current capabilities have to do
- * with planning queries that use the target function, though it is
- * possible that future extensions will add functionality to be invoked
- * by the parser or executor.
- *
- * A support function must have the SQL signature
- * supportfn(internal) returns internal
- * The argument is a pointer to one of the Node types defined in this file.
- * The result is usually also a Node pointer, though its type depends on
- * which capability is being invoked. In all cases, a NULL pointer result
- * (that's PG_RETURN_POINTER(NULL), not PG_RETURN_NULL()) indicates that
- * the support function cannot do anything useful for the given request.
- * Support functions must return a NULL pointer, not fail, if they do not
- * recognize the request node type or cannot handle the given case; this
- * allows for future extensions of the set of request cases.

- * The Simplify request allows the support function to perform plan-time
- * simplification of a call to its target function. For example, a varchar
- * length coercion that does not decrease the allowed length of its argument
- * could be replaced by a RelabelType node, or "x + 0" could be replaced by
- * "x". This is invoked during the planner's constant-folding pass, so the
- * function's arguments can be presumed already simplified.
- *
- * The planner's PlannerInfo "root" is typically not needed, but can be
- * consulted if it's necessary to obtain info about Vars present in
- * the given node tree. Beware that root could be NULL in some usages.
- *
- * "fcall" will be a FuncExpr invoking the support function's target
- * function. (This is true even if the original parsetree node was an
- * operator call; a FuncExpr is synthesized for this purpose.)
- *
- * The result should be a semantically-equivalent transformed node tree,
- * or NULL if no simplification could be performed. Do *not* return or
- * modify *fcall, as it isn't really a separately allocated Node. But
- * it's okay to use fcall->args, or parts of it, in the result tree.

- * and join estimators, except that we unify those two APIs into just one
- * request type. See clause_selectivity() for the details.

- * must be between 0 and 1 inclusive. Return NULL if no estimate can be

- * The Cost request allows the support function to provide an execution

- * both a one-time (query startup) component and a per-execution component.
- * The estimate should *not* include the costs of evaluating the target
- * function's arguments, only the target function itself.
- *
- * The "node" argument is normally the parse node that is invoking the
- * target function. This is a FuncExpr in the simplest case, but it could
- * also be an OpExpr, DistinctExpr, NullIfExpr, or WindowFunc, or possibly
- * other cases in future. NULL is passed if the function cannot presume
- * its arguments to be equivalent to what the calling node presents as
- * arguments; that happens for, e.g., aggregate support functions and
- * per-column comparison operators used by RowExprs.
- *
- * If an estimate can be made, store it into the cost fields and return the
- * address of the SupportRequestCost node. Return NULL if no estimate can be

- * this is not the case for the outputs of the Cost request; the support

- /*
- * The IndexCondition request allows the support function to generate
- * a directly-indexable condition based on a target function call that is
- * not itself indexable. The target function call must appear at the top
- * level of WHERE or JOIN/ON, so this applies only to functions returning
- * boolean.
- *
- * The "node" argument is the parse node that is invoking the target function;
- * currently this will always be a FuncExpr or OpExpr. The call is made
- * only if at least one function argument matches an index column's variable
- * or expression. "indexarg" identifies the matching argument (it's the
- * argument's zero-based index in the node's args list).
- *
- * If the transformation is possible, return a List of directly-indexable
- * condition expressions, else return NULL. (A List is used because it's
- * sometimes useful to generate more than one indexable condition, such as
- * when a LIKE with constant prefix gives rise to both >= and < conditions.)
- *
- * "Directly indexable" means that the condition must be directly executable
- * by the index machinery. Typically this means that it is a binary OpExpr
- * with the index column value on the left, a pseudo-constant on the right,
- * and an operator that is in the index column's operator family. Other
- * possibilities include RowCompareExpr, ScalarArrayOpExpr, and NullTest,
- * depending on the index type; but those seem less likely to be useful for
- * derived index conditions. "Pseudo-constant" means that the right-hand
- * expression must not contain any volatile functions, nor any Vars of the
- * table the index is for; use is_pseudo_constant_for_index() to check this.
- * (Note: if the passed "node" is an OpExpr, the core planner already verified
- * that the non-indexkey operand is pseudo-constant; but when the "node"
- * is a FuncExpr, it does not check, since it doesn't know which of the
- * function's arguments you might need to use in an index comparison value.)
- *
- * In many cases, an index condition can be generated but it is weaker than
- * the function condition itself; for example, a LIKE with a constant prefix
- * can produce an index range check based on the prefix, but we still need
- * to execute the LIKE operator to verify the rest of the pattern. We say
- * that such an index condition is "lossy". When returning an index condition,
- * you should set the "lossy" request field to true if the condition is lossy,
- * or false if it is an exact equivalent of the function's result. The core
- * code will initialize that field to true, which is the common case.
- *
- * It is important to verify that the index operator family is the correct
- * one for the condition you want to generate. Core support functions tend
- * to use the known OID of a built-in opfamily for this, but extensions need
- * to work harder, since their OIDs aren't fixed. A possibly workable
- * answer for an index on an extension datatype is to verify the index AM's
- * OID instead, and then assume that there's only one relevant opclass for
- * your datatype so the opfamily must be the right one. Generating OpExpr
- * nodes may also require knowing extension datatype OIDs (often you can
- * find these out by applying exprType() to a function argument) and
- * operator OIDs (which you can look up using get_opfamily_member).
