optimizer/path/tidpath.c

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 *
 * tidpath.c
 *	  Routines to determine which TID conditions are usable for scanning
 *	  a given relation, and create TidPaths accordingly.
 *
 * What we are looking for here is WHERE conditions of the form
 * "CTID = pseudoconstant", which can be implemented by just fetching
 * the tuple directly via heap_fetch().  We can also handle OR'd conditions
 * such as (CTID = const1) OR (CTID = const2), as well as ScalarArrayOpExpr
 * conditions of the form CTID = ANY(pseudoconstant_array).  In particular
 * this allows
 *		WHERE ctid IN (tid1, tid2, ...)
 *
 * We also support "WHERE CURRENT OF cursor" conditions (CurrentOfExpr),
 * which amount to "CTID = run-time-determined-TID".  These could in
 * theory be translated to a simple comparison of CTID to the result of
 * a function, but in practice it works better to keep the special node
 * representation all the way through to execution.
 *
 * There is currently no special support for joins involving CTID; in
 * particular nothing corresponding to best_inner_indexscan().  Since it's
 * not very useful to store TIDs of one table in another table, there
 * doesn't seem to be enough use-case to justify adding a lot of code
 * for that.
