* Cause ALTER OWNER commands to update the object's ACL, replacing referencesTom Lane2004-08-01
| | | | | | to the old owner with the new owner. This is not necessarily right, but it's sure a lot more likely to be what the user wants than doing nothing. Christopher Kings-Lynne, some rework by Tom Lane.
* Support renaming of tablespaces, and changing the owners ofTom Lane2004-06-25
| | | | | | | | aggregates, conversions, functions, operators, operator classes, schemas, types, and tablespaces. Fold the existing implementations of alter domain owner and alter database owner in with these. Christopher Kings-Lynne
* Represent type-specific length coercion functions as pg_cast entries,Tom Lane2004-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | eliminating the former hard-wired convention about their names. Allow pg_cast entries to represent both type coercion and length coercion in a single step --- this is represented by a function that takes an extra typmod argument, just like a length coercion function. This nicely merges the type and length coercion mechanisms into something at least a little cleaner than we had before. Make use of the single- coercion-step behavior to fix integer-to-bit coercion so that coercing to bit(n) yields the rightmost n bits of the integer instead of the leftmost n bits. This should fix recurrent complaints about the odd behavior of this coercion. Clean up the documentation of the bit string functions, and try to put it where people might actually find it. Also, get rid of the unreliable heuristics in ruleutils.c about whether to display nested coercion steps; instead require parse_coerce.c to label them properly in the first place.
* Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway2004-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer. A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes. The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope, be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
* Tighten parsing of boolean options to CREATE TYPE and related functions,Tom Lane2004-05-14
| | | | | so as to deliver more useful error messages for mistakes like 'PASSEDBYVALUE = f'. Per gripe from Gaetano Mendola.
* Solve the 'Turkish problem' with undesirable locale behavior for caseTom Lane2004-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp; remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.
* Implement a solution to the 'Turkish locale downcases I incorrectly'Tom Lane2004-02-21
| | | | | | problem, per previous discussion. Make some additional changes to centralize the knowledge of just how identifier downcasing is done, in hopes of simplifying any future tweaking in this area.
* Apply the core parts of Dennis Bjorklund's patch to allow functionTom Lane2004-01-06
| | | | | | | | | parameters to be declared with names. pg_proc has a column to store names, and CREATE FUNCTION can insert data into it, but that's all as yet. I need to do more work on the pg_dump and plpgsql portions of the patch before committing those, but I thought I'd get the bulky changes in before the tree drifts under me. initdb forced due to pg_proc change.

* COMMENT ON casts, conversions, languages, operator classes, andTom Lane2003-11-21
| | | | | | | | | large objects. Dump all these in pg_dump; also add code to pg_dump user-defined conversions. Make psql's large object code rely on the backend for inserting/deleting LOB comments, instead of trying to hack pg_description directly. Documentation and regression tests added. Christopher Kings-Lynne, code reviewed by Tom
* Cross-data-type comparisons are now indexable by btrees, pursuant to myTom Lane2003-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support. The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event; it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
* Add operator strategy and comparison-value datatype fields to ScanKey.Tom Lane2003-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the first place is simpler and faster. This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize() API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those changes before the tree drifts under me.
* Change some notices to warnings and vice versa according to criteriaPeter Eisentraut2003-10-02

* More message editing, some suggested by Alvaro HerreraPeter Eisentraut2003-09-29
|
* Message editing: remove gratuitous variations in message wording, standardizePeter Eisentraut2003-09-25
| | | | | terms, add some clarifications, fix some untranslatable attempts at dynamic message building.
* Repair some REINDEX problems per recent discussions. The relcache isTom Lane2003-09-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method. This leaves only shared system indexes as special cases. Remove the 'index deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared- index case. Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX. -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes) now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates. It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS. Upshot: reindexing system catalogs can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except shared catalogs.

* Some early work on error message editing. Operator-not-found andTom Lane2003-07-04
| | | | | function-not-found messages now distinguish the cases no-match and ambiguous-match, and they follow the style guidelines too.
* First batch of object rename commands.Peter Eisentraut2003-06-27
|
* Remove restriction that cast functions cannot be volatile. ThisTom Lane2003-02-01
| | | | | | restriction was debatable to begin with, but it has now become obvious that it breaks forward-porting of user-defined types; contrib/lo being the most salient example.
* Reduce messages associated with shell-type function arguments/resultsTom Lane2002-11-01
| | | | from WARNING to NOTICE, since they are expected messages in common cases.
* Require superuser privilege to create a binary-compatible cast, perTom Lane2002-10-04
| | | | | | discussion some weeks ago. Also, add a check that two types to be binary-equivalenced match as to typlen, typbyval, and typalign; if they don't then it's surely a mistake to equivalence them.
* Provide an upgrade strategy for dump files containing functions declaredTom Lane2002-09-21
| | | | | | | | with OPAQUE. CREATE LANGUAGE, CREATE TRIGGER, and CREATE TYPE will all accept references to functions declared with OPAQUE --- but they will issue a NOTICE, and will modify the function entries in pg_proc to have the preferred type-safe argument or result types instead of OPAQUE. Per recent pghackers discussions.
* Extend pg_cast castimplicit column to a three-way value; this allows usTom Lane2002-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in operator/function resolution. Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8). Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or numeric (never float8 anymore). Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics. Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3. This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation). Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements; it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example. Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types). Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8. initdb forced.
* Cast functions can be immutable or stable.Peter Eisentraut2002-09-15

* pgindent run.Bruce Momjian2002-09-04
|
* Add a bunch of pseudo-types to replace the behavior formerly associatedTom Lane2002-08-22
| | | | | | with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion. I still want to do some more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...
* Create/drop cast now requires ownership of at least one of the types.Peter Eisentraut2002-08-11
|
* Restructure system-catalog index updating logic. Instead of havingTom Lane2002-08-05
| | | | | | | | | hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table. This reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single line, makes it much easier to add a new system index (in fact, you can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit improves performance a little. Per recent pghackers discussion.

* Remove unused system table columns:Peter Eisentraut2002-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_language.lancompiler pg_operator.oprprec pg_operator.oprisleft pg_proc.proimplicit pg_proc.probyte_pct pg_proc.properbyte_cpu pg_proc.propercall_cpu pg_proc.prooutin_ratio pg_shadow.usetrace pg_type.typprtlen pg_type.typreceive pg_type.typsend Attempts to use the obsoleted attributes of pg_operator or pg_proc in the CREATE commands will be greeted by a warning. For pg_type, there is no warning (yet) because pg_dump scripts still contain these attributes. Also remove new but already obsolete spellings isVolatile, isStable, isImmutable in WITH clause. (Use new syntax instead.)
* Add unique index on pg_cast.oid, and document pg_cast table.Peter Eisentraut2002-07-22

* Patch problems caused by code drift since OID patch creation.Bruce Momjian2002-07-20

* oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian2002-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar
* pg_cast table, and standards-compliant CREATE/DROP CAST commands, plusPeter Eisentraut2002-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | extension to create binary compatible casts. Includes dependency tracking as well. pg_proc.proimplicit is now defunct, but will be removed in a separate commit. pg_dump provides a migration path from the previous scheme to declare casts. Dumping binary compatible casts is currently impossible, though.
* Second phase of committing Rod Taylor's pg_depend/pg_constraint patch.Tom Lane2002-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint. pg_depend exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP; however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies. (Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.

* Add optional "validator" function to languages that can validate thePeter Eisentraut2002-05-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | function body (and other properties) as a function in the language is created. This generalizes ad hoc code that already existed for the built-in languages. The validation now happens after the pg_proc tuple of the new function is created, so it is possible to define recursive SQL functions. Add some regression test cases that cover bogus function definition attempts.
* Allow functions to be executed with the privileges of the function owner.Peter Eisentraut2002-05-18

* Restructure aclcheck error reporting to make permission-failureTom Lane2002-04-27
| | | | | | | messages more uniform and internationalizable: the global array aclcheck_error_strings[] is gone in favor of a subroutine aclcheck_error(). Partial implementation of namespace-related permission checks --- not all done yet.
