接前面，再次上溯一个层次，看代码(planmain.c :query_planner)：
void query_planner(PlannerInfo *root, List *tlist, double tuple_fraction, double limit_tuples, Path **cheapest_path, Path **sorted_path, double *num_groups) { ... /* * Make a flattened version of the rangetable for faster access (this is * OK because the rangetable won't change any more), and set up an empty * array for indexing base relations. */ setup_simple_rel_arrays(root); /* * Construct RelOptInfo nodes for all base relations in query, and * indirectly for all appendrel member relations ("other rels"). This * will give us a RelOptInfo for every "simple" (non-join) rel involved in * the query. * * Note: the reason we find the rels by searching the jointree and * appendrel list, rather than just scanning the rangetable, is that the * rangetable may contain RTEs for rels not actively part of the query, * for example views. We don't want to make RelOptInfos for them. */ add_base_rels_to_query(root, (Node *) parse->jointree); /* * Examine the targetlist and join tree, adding entries to baserel * targetlists for all referenced Vars, and generating PlaceHolderInfo * entries for all referenced PlaceHolderVars. Restrict and join clauses * are added to appropriate lists belonging to the mentioned relations. We * also build EquivalenceClasses for provably equivalent expressions. The * SpecialJoinInfo list is also built to hold information about join order * restrictions. Finally, we form a target joinlist for make_one_rel() to * work from. */ build_base_rel_tlists(root, tlist); find_placeholders_in_jointree(root); joinlist = deconstruct_jointree(root); /* * Reconsider any postponed outer-join quals now that we have built up * equivalence classes. (This could result in further additions or * mergings of classes.) */ reconsider_outer_join_clauses(root); /* * If we formed any equivalence classes, generate additional restriction * clauses as appropriate. (Implied join clauses are formed on-the-fly * later.) */ generate_base_implied_equalities(root); /* * We have completed merging equivalence sets, so it's now possible to * convert previously generated pathkeys (in particular, the requested * query_pathkeys) to canonical form. */ canonicalize_all_pathkeys(root); /* * Examine any "placeholder" expressions generated during subquery pullup. * Make sure that the Vars they need are marked as needed at the relevant * join level. This must be done before join removal because it might * cause Vars or placeholders to be needed above a join when they weren't * so marked before. */ fix_placeholder_input_needed_levels(root); /* * Remove any useless outer joins. Ideally this would be done during * jointree preprocessing, but the necessary information isn't available * until we've built baserel data structures and classified qual clauses. */ joinlist = remove_useless_joins(root, joinlist); /* * Now distribute "placeholders" to base rels as needed. This has to be * done after join removal because removal could change whether a * placeholder is evaluatable at a base rel. */ add_placeholders_to_base_rels(root); ... }
在此处，setup_simple_rel_arrays 构造了指向指针的数组（其实是指向指针数组的指针），挂在root下。 add_base_rels_to_query 要利用此数组。
看其中的代码(relnode.c)：
/* * setup_simple_rel_arrays * Prepare the arrays we use for quickly accessing base relations. */ void setup_simple_rel_arrays(PlannerInfo *root) { Index rti; ListCell *lc; /* Arrays are accessed using RT indexes (1..N) */ root->simple_rel_array_size = list_length(root->parse->rtable) + 1; /* simple_rel_array is initialized to all NULLs */ root->simple_rel_array = (RelOptInfo **) palloc0(root->simple_rel_array_size * sizeof(RelOptInfo *)); ... }
add_base_rels_to_query ：(initsplan.c)
void add_base_rels_to_query(PlannerInfo *root, Node *jtnode) { if (jtnode == NULL) return; if (IsA(jtnode, RangeTblRef)) { int varno = ((RangeTblRef *) jtnode)->rtindex; (void) build_simple_rel(root, varno, RELOPT_BASEREL); } else if (IsA(jtnode, FromExpr)) { FromExpr *f = (FromExpr *) jtnode; ListCell *l; foreach(l, f->fromlist) add_base_rels_to_query(root, lfirst(l)); } else if (IsA(jtnode, JoinExpr)) { JoinExpr *j = (JoinExpr *) jtnode; add_base_rels_to_query(root, j->larg); add_base_rels_to_query(root, j->rarg); } else elog(ERROR, "unrecognized node type: %d", (int) nodeTag(jtnode)); }
build_simple_rel:
RelOptInfo * build_simple_rel(PlannerInfo *root, int relid, RelOptKind reloptkind) { RelOptInfo *rel; RangeTblEntry *rte;
/* Rel should not exist already */ Assert(relid > 0 && relid < root->simple_rel_array_size); if (root->simple_rel_array[relid] != NULL) elog(ERROR, "rel %d already exists", relid); ... /* Check type of rtable entry */ switch (rte->rtekind) { case RTE_RELATION: /* Table --- retrieve statistics from the system catalogs */ get_relation_info(root, rte->relid, rte->inh, rel); break; case RTE_SUBQUERY: case RTE_FUNCTION: case RTE_VALUES: case RTE_CTE: /* * Subquery, function, or values list --- set up attr range and * arrays * * Note: 0 is included in range to support whole-row Vars */ rel->min_attr = 0; rel->max_attr = list_length(rte->eref->colnames); rel->attr_needed = (Relids *) palloc0((rel->max_attr - rel->min_attr + 1) * sizeof(Relids)); rel->attr_widths = (int32 *) palloc0((rel->max_attr - rel->min_attr + 1) * sizeof(int32)); break; default: elog(ERROR, "unrecognized RTE kind: %d", (int) rte->rtekind); break; } /* Save the finished struct in the query's simple_rel_array */ root->simple_rel_array[relid] = rel; ... return rel; }
