I'm trying to enhance the join removal functionality (will post my patch in a
separate thread soon) and I consider your patch very helpful in this
area.

Following is my review. Attached are also some fixes and one enhancement:
propagation of the unique keys (UK) from a subquery to the parent query
(0004). (Note that 0001 is just your patch rebased).


* I think that, before EC is considered suitable for an UK, its ec_opfamilies
  field needs to be checked. I try to do that in
  find_ec_position_matching_expr(), see 0004.


* Set-returning functions (SRFs) can make a "distinct path" necessary even if
  the join output is unique.


* RelOptInfo.notnullattrs

  My understanding is that this field contains the set attributes whose
  uniqueness is guaranteed by the unique key. They are acceptable because they
  are either 1) not allowed to be NULL due to NOT NULL constraint or 2) NULL
  value makes the containing row filtered out, so the row cannot break
  uniqueness of the output. Am I right?

  If so, I suggest to change the field name to something less generic, maybe
  'uniquekey_attrs' or 'uniquekey_candidate_attrs', and adding a comment that
  more checks are needed before particular attribute can actually be used in
  UniqueKey.


* add_uniquekey_for_uniqueindex()

  I'd appreciate an explanation why the "single-row UK" is created. I think
  the reason for unique_exprs==NIL is that a restriction clause VAR=CONST
  exists for each column of the unique index. Whether I'm right or not, a
  comment should state clearly what the reason is.


* uniquekey_useful_for_merging()

  How does uniqueness relate to merge join? In README.uniquekey you seem to
  point out that a single row is always sorted, but I don't think this
  function is related to that fact. (Instead, I'd expect that pathkeys are
  added to all paths for a single-row relation, but I'm not sure you do that
  in the current version of the patch.)


* is_uniquekey_useful_afterjoin()

  Now that my patch (0004) allows propagation of the unique keys from a
  subquery to the upper query, I was wondering if the UniqueKey structure
  needs the 'use_for_distinct field' I mean we should now propagate the unique
  keys to the parent query whether the subquery has DISTINCT clause or not. I
  noticed that the field is checked by is_uniquekey_useful_afterjoin(), so I
  changed the function to always returned true. However nothing changed in the
  output of regression tests (installcheck). Do you insist that the
  'use_for_distinct' field is needed?


* uniquekey_contains_multinulls()

  ** Instead of calling the function when trying to use the UK, how about
     checking the ECs when considering creation of the UK? If the tests fail,
     just don't create the UK.

  ** What does the 'multi' word in the function name mean?


* relation_is_distinct_for()

  The function name is too similar to rel_is_distinct_for(). I think the name
  should indicate that you are checking the relation against a set of
  pathkeys. Maybe rel_is_distinct_for_pathkeys() (and remove 'distinct' from
  the argument name)? At the same time, it might be good to rename
  rel_is_distinct_for() to rel_is_distinct_for_clauses().


* uniquekey_contains_in()

  Shouldn't this be uniquekey_contained_in()? And likewise, shouldn't the
  comment be " ... if UniqueKey is contained in the list of EquivalenceClass"
  ?

  (In general, even though I'm not English native speaker, I think I see quite
  a few grammar issues, which often make reading of the comments/documentation
  a bit difficult.)


* Combining the UKs

  IMO this is the most problematic part of the patch. You call
  populate_joinrel_uniquekeys() for the same join multiple times, each time
  with a different 'restrictlist', and you try to do two things at the same
  time: 1) combine the UKs of the input relations into the UKs of the join
  relation, 2) check if the join relation can be marked single-row.

  I think that both 1) and 2) should be independent from join order, and thus
  both computations should only take place once for given set of input
  relations. And I think they should be done separately:

  1) Compute the join UKs

  As you admit in a comment in populate_joinrel_uniquekeys(), neither join
  method nor clauses should matter. So I think you only need to pick the
  "component UKs" (i.e. UKs of the input relations) which are usable above
  that join (i.e. neither the join itself nor any join below sets any column
  of the UK to NULL) and combine them.

  Of course one problem is that the number of combinations can grow
  exponentially as new relations are joined. I'm not sure it's necessary to
  combine the UKs (and to discard some of them) immediately. Instead, maybe we
  can keep lists of UKs only for base relations, and postpone picking the
  suitable UKs and combining them until we actually need to check the relation
  uniqueness.

  2) Check if the join relation is single-row

  I in order to get rid of the dependency on 'restrictlist', I think you can
  use ECs. Consider a query from your regression tests:

CREATE TABLE uk_t (id int primary key, a int not null, b int not null, c int, d int, e int);

SELECT distinct t1.d FROM uk_t t1 JOIN uk_t t2 ON t1.e = t2.id and t1.id = 1;

  The idea here seems to be that no more than one row of t1 matches the query
  clauses. Therefore, if t2(id) is unique, the clause t1.e=t2.id ensures that
  no more than one row of t2 matches the query (because t1 cannot provide the
  clause with more than one input value of 'e'). And therefore, the join also
  produces at most one row.

  My theory is that relation is single-row if it has an UK such that each of
  its ECs meets at least one of the following conditions:

  a) contains a constant

  b) contains a column of a relation which has already been proven single-row.

  b) is referenced by an UK of a relation which has already been proven
     single-row.

  I think that in the example above, an EC {t1.e, t2.id} should exist. So when
  checking whether 't2' is single-row, the condition b) cam be ised: the UK of
  't2' should reference the EC {t1.e, t2.id}, which in turn contains the
  column t1.e. And 't1' is unique because its EC meets the condition a). (Of
  course you need to check em_jdomain before you use particular EM.)


Are you going to submit the patch to the first CF of PG 18?

Please let me know if I can contribute to the effort by reviewing or writing
some code.

+Here is a design document and a part of implementation.
+
+What is UniqueKey?
+-----------------
+
+UniqueKey represents a uniqueness information for a RelOptInfo. for
+example:
+
+SELECT id FROM t;
+
+where the ID is the UniqueKey for the RelOptInfo (t).  In the real world,
+it has the following attributes:
+
+1). It should be EquivalenceClass based. for example:
+
+SELECT a FROM t WHERE a = id;
+
+In this case, the UniqueKey should be 1 EC with two members
+- EC(EM(a), EM(id)).
+
+
+2). Each UniqueKey may be made up with 1+ EquivalenceClass. for example:
+
+CREATE TABLE t(a int not null,  b int not null);
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX on t(a, b);
+SELECT * FROM t;
+
+Where the UniqueKey for RelOptInfo (t) will be 2 ECs with each one has 1
+member.
+
+- EC(em=a), EC(em=b)
+
+3). Each RelOptInfo may have 1+ UniqueKeys.
+
+CREATE TABLE t(a int not null,  b int not null, c int not null);
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX on t(a, b);
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX on t(c);
+
+SELECT * FROM t;
+
+Where the UniqueKey for RelOptInfo (t) will be
+- [EC(em=a), EC(em=b)].
+- [EC(em=c)]
+
+4). A special case is about the one-row case. It works like:
+SELECT * FROM t WHERE id = 1;
+Here every single expression in the RelOptInfo (t) is unique since only
+one row here.
+
+Where can we use it?
+--------------------
+1. mark the distinct as no-op.  SELECT DISTINCT uniquekey FROM v; This
+  optimization has been required several times in our threads.
+
+2. Figure out more pathkey within the onerow case, then some planning
+  time can be reduced to be big extend. This user case is not absurd,
+  a real user case like this:
+
+  CREATE TABLE small_t (id int primary key, b int, c int .. u int);
+  CREATE INDEX ON small_t(b);
+  CREATE INDEX ON small_t(c);
+  ..
+
+  SELECT * FROM small_t s
+    JOIN t1 on t1.sb = s.b
+    JOIN T2 on t2.sc = s.c
+    ..
+    JOIN t20 on t20.su = s.u
+  WHERE s.id = 1;
+
+  Without the above optimization, we don't know s.b /s.c is ordered
+  already, so it might keep more different paths for small_t because of
+  they have different interesting pathkey, and use more planning time
+  for sorting to support merge join.
+
+  With the above optimization, the planning time should be reduced since
+  the seq scan can produce a ordered result for every expression.
+
+3. Figure out more interesting pathkey after join with normal UniqueKey.
+
+  CREATE TABLE t(id int primary key, b int, c int);
+  CREATE INDEX on t(c);
+  ANALYZE t;
+
+  explain (costs off)
+  select t1.id, t2.c from t t1
+    join t1 t2 on t1.id = t2.b
+    and t2.c > 3
+  order by t1.id, t2.c;
+
+            QUERY PLAN
+  --------------------------------------------------
+  Sort Key: t1.id, t2.c   <---  this sort can be avoided actually.
+  ->  Nested Loop
+    Join Filter: (t1.id = t2.b)
+    ->  Index Only Scan using t_pkey on t t1
+    ->  Index Scan using t1_c_idx on t1 t2
+          Index Cond: (c > 3)
+
+  *Without knowing the t1.id is unique*,  which means there are some
+  duplicated data in t1.id, the duplication data in t1 will break the
+  order of (t1.id, t2.c), but if we know the t1.id is unique, the sort
+  will be not needed.  I'm pretty happy with this finding.
+
+4. Optimize some group by case, like
+
+  SELECT id, sum(b) FROM t GROUP BY id
+  is same with
+  SELECT id, b from t;
+
+  I'm not sure how often it is in the real life, I'm not so excited with
+  this for now.
+
+
+How to present ECs in UniqueKey?
+--------------------------------
+
+I choose "Bitmapset *eclass_indexes;" finally, which is because
+Bitmapset is memory compact and good at bms_union,  bms_is_subset
+stuffs. The value in the bitmap is the positions in root->eq_classes. It
+is also be able to present the UniqueKey which is made up from multi
+relations or upper relation.
+
+How to present single row in UniqueKey
+-------------------------------------
+
+I just use a 'Index relid', an non-zero value means the
+RelOptInfo[relid] is single row.  For the case like
+
+SELECT * FROM t WHERE id = 1;
+The UniqueKey is:
+- UniqueKey(eclass_indexes=NULL, relid=1)
+
+during a join, any unique keys join with single row, it's uniqueness can
+be kept.
+
+SELECT t1.uk, t2.a FROM t WHERE t2.id = 1 and any-qual(t1, t2);
+- UniqueKey (t1.uk)
+
+more specially, join two single row like:
+
+SELECT * FROM t1 join t2 on true where t1.id = 1 and t2.id = 2;
+
+the UniqueKey for the JoinRel will be:
+- UniqueKey(eclass_indexes=NULL, relid=1)
+- UniqueKey(eclass_indexes=NULL, relid=2)
+
+However, the current single row presentation can't works well with Upper
+relation, which I think it would be acceptable. See the following case:
+
+SELECT count(*) FROM t1 JOIN t2 on true;
+
+
+How to maintain the uniquekey?
+-------------------------------
+the uniquekey is maintained from baserel to join rel then to upper
+relation. In the base rel, it comes from unique index. From the join
+relation, it is maintained with two rules:
+
+- the uniquekey in one side is still unique if it can't be duplicated
+  after the join. for example:
+
+  SELECT t1.pk FROM t1 JOIN t2 ON t1.a = t2.pk;
+  UniqueKey on t1:  t1.pk
+  UniqueKey on t1 Join t2:  t1.pk
+
+- The combined unique key from both sides are unique all the times.
+  SELECT t1.pk , t2.pk FROM t1 join t2 on true;
+  UniqueKey on t1 join t2:  (t1.pk, t2.pk)
+
+Some other operations like DISTINCT, GROUP BY can produce UniqueKey as well.
+
+NULL values
+-----------
+notnullattrs are added into RelOptInfo, which present if these attributes
+may not be NULL after the baserestrictinfo is executed. not-null-attributes
+may be generated by not-null constraint in catalog or baserestrictinfo
+(only) filter. However it is possible become NULLs because of outer
+join, then Var.varnullingrels is used in this case. see
+'var_is_nullable' function call.
+
+To simplify the UniqueKey module, it doesn't care about the null values
+during the maintaining, which means it may contains multi NULL values
+all the time by design. However whenever a user case care about that,
+the user case can get the answer with the above logic, that is what
+'mark-distinct-as-noop' does.
+
+How to reduce the overhead
+----------------------------------
+UniqueKey employs the similar strategy like PathKey, it only maintain
+the interesting PathKey. Currently the interesting UniqueKey includes:
+1). It is subset of distinct_pathkeys.
+2). It is used in mergeable join clauses for unique key deduction (for
+the join rel case, rule 1). In this case, it can be discarded quickly if
+the join has been done.
+
+To avoid to check if an uniquekey is subset of distinct clause again and
+again, I cached the result into UnqiueKey struct during the UniqueKey
+creation.
+
+Since our first goal is just used for marking distinct as no-op, so if
+there is no distinct clause at all, unique key will be not maintained at
+the beginning. so we can have some codes like:
+
+if (root->distinct_pathkeys == NULL)
+return;
+
+This fast path is NOT added for now for better code coverage.
+
+What I have now:
+----------------
+
+The current patch just maintain the UniqueKey at the baserel/joinrel level
+and used it for mark-distinct-as-noop purpose. including the basic idea of
+
+- How the UniqueKey is defined.
+- How to find out the interesting pathkey in the baserel/joinrel level.
+- How to figure out the unique key contains NULL values.
+
+Also the test cases are prepared, see uniquekey.sql.

Subject: [PATCH 4/5] Teach the planner to pass UniqueKey nodes from a subquery
 to the parent query.

So far it was only possible to recognize uniqueness of the output of
relatively simple subqueries. With this feature, more complex subqueries can
be checked, even those "hidden" in a view with security_barrier enabled. Thus
there should be more opportunities to apply specific optimizations. Typically,
when the inner relation of join is unique, then INNER join can be replaced
with SEMI join.
