Hi all,
This is a continuation of the work that has been previously discussed
here, resulting mainly in e3931d0 for pg_attribute and pg_shdepend:
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20190213182737.mxn6hkdxwrzgxk35@alap3.anarazel.de
I have been looking at the amount of work that could be done
independently for pg_depend, and attached are two patches:
- 0001 switches recordMultipleDependencies() to use multi-inserts.
Contrary to pg_attribute and pg_shdepend, the number of items to
insert is known in advance, but some of them can be skipped if known
as a pinned dependency. The data insertion is capped at 64kB, and the
number of slots is basically calculation from the maximum cap and the
number of items to insert.
- 0002 switches a bunch of code paths to make use of multi-inserts
instead of individual calls to recordDependencyOn(), grouping the
insertions of dependencies of the same time. This relies on the
existing set of APIs to manipulate a set of object addresses, without
any new addition there (no reset-like routine either as I noticed that
it would have been useful in only one place). The set of changes is
honestly a bit bulky here.
I am adding this thread to the next commit fest. Thoughts are
welcome.
Thanks,
