* Modify array operations to include array's element type OID in theTom Lane2002-08-26

A simple change, but > it passeth patch's understanding ... Thanks. Attached is a patch against cvs tip as of 8:30 PM PST or so. Turned out that even after fixing the failed hunks, there was a new spot in bufmgr.c which needed to be fixed (related to temp relations; RelationUpdateNumberOfBlocks). But thankfully the regression test code caught it :-) Joe Conway
* Fix permission checking for temp-table namespace.Tom Lane2002-08-07

* Restructure local-buffer handling per recent pghackers discussion.Tom Lane2002-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The local buffer manager is no longer used for newly-created relations (unless they are TEMP); a new non-TEMP relation goes through the shared bufmgr and thus will participate normally in checkpoints. But TEMP relations use the local buffer manager throughout their lifespan. Also, operations in TEMP relations are not logged in WAL, thus improving performance. Since it's no longer necessary to fsync relations as they move out of the local buffers into shared buffers, quite a lot of smgr.c/md.c/fd.c code is no longer needed and has been removed: there's no concept of a dirty relation anymore in md.c/fd.c, and we never fsync anything but WAL. Still TODO: improve local buffer management algorithms so that it would be reasonable to increase NLocBuffer.
* Preliminary code review for anonymous-composite-types patch: fix breakageTom Lane2002-08-05
| | | | | | | | of functions returning domain types, update documentation for typtype, move get_typtype to lsyscache.c (actually, resurrect the old version), add defense against creating pseudo-typed table columns, fix some bogus list-parsing in grammar. Issues remain with respect to alias handling and type checking; Joe is on those.
* Attached are two patches to implement and document anonymous compositeBruce Momjian2002-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | types for Table Functions, as previously proposed on HACKERS. Here is a brief explanation: 1. Creates a new pg_type typtype: 'p' for pseudo type (currently either 'b' for base or 'c' for catalog, i.e. a class). 2. Creates new builtin type of typtype='p' named RECORD. This is the first of potentially several pseudo types. 3. Modify FROM clause grammer to accept: SELECT * FROM my_func() AS m(colname1 type1, colname2 type1, ...) where m is the table alias, colname1, etc are the column names, and type1, etc are the column types. 4. When typtype == 'p' and the function return type is RECORD, a list of column defs is required, and when typtype != 'p', it is disallowed. 5. A check was added to ensure that the tupdesc provide via the parser and the actual return tupdesc match in number and type of attributes. When creating a function you can do: CREATE FUNCTION foo(text) RETURNS setof RECORD ... When using it you can do: SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS (f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) or SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) or SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) Included in the patches are adjustments to the regression test sql and expected files, and documentation. p.s. This potentially solves (or at least improves) the issue of builtin Table Functions. They can be bootstrapped as returning RECORD, and we can wrap system views around them with properly specified column defs. For example: CREATE VIEW pg_settings AS SELECT s.name, s.setting FROM show_all_settings()AS s(name text, setting text); Then we can also add the UPDATE RULE that I previously posted to pg_settings, and have pg_settings act like a virtual table, allowing settings to be queried and set.

The July 9th Table Function API patch mentioned above is now in CVS, so here is an updated version of the guc patch which should apply cleanly against CVS tip. Joe Conway
* 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
* Back out BETWEEN node patch, was causing initdb failure.Bruce Momjian2002-07-18
|
* Finished the Between patch Christopher started.Bruce Momjian2002-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Implements between (symmetric / asymmetric) as a node. Executes the left or right expression once, makes a Const out of the resulting Datum and executes the >=, <= portions out of the Const sets. Of course, the parser does a fair amount of preparatory work for this to happen. Rod Taylor
* Here is a patch for the Table Function API. It fixes a bug found by NeilBruce Momjian2002-07-18

| | | | | | | | | | | are managed as per request. Moved from merging with table attributes to applying themselves during coerce_type() and coerce_type_typmod. Regression tests altered to test the cast() scenarios. Rod Taylor
* Fix compile error in assert coded added by new DISTINCT ON patch.Bruce Momjian2002-07-04
|
* Implement the IS DISTINCT FROM operator per SQL99.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required by SQL99. We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend. Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99. This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses. Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().

* It seems that ExecInit/EndIndexScan is leaking some memory...Bruce Momjian2002-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | For example, if I run a query, that uses an index scan, and call MemoryContextSt ats (CurrentMemoryContext) before ExecutorStart() and after ExecutorEnd() in ProcessQuery(), I am consistently see ing that the 'after' call shows 256 bytes more used, then 'before'... The problem seems to be in ExecEndIndexScan - it does not release scanstate, ind exstate, indexstate->iss_RelationDescs and indexstate -> iss_ScanDescs... Dmitry Tkach

* Mark index entries "killed" when they are no longer visible to anyTom Lane2002-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | transaction, so as to avoid returning them out of the index AM. Saves repeated heap_fetch operations on frequently-updated rows. Also detect queries on unique keys (equality to all columns of a unique index), and don't bother continuing scan once we have found first match. Killing is implemented in the btree and hash AMs, but not yet in rtree or gist, because there isn't an equally convenient place to do it in those AMs (the outer amgetnext routine can't do it without re-pinning the index page). Did some small cleanup on APIs of HeapTupleSatisfies, heap_fetch, and index_insert to make this a little easier.
* Since COPY fires triggers, it seems like a good idea for it to useTom Lane2002-05-21

* Remove global variable scanCommandId in favor of storing a command IDTom Lane2002-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | in snapshots, per my proposal of a few days ago. Also, tweak heapam.c routines (heap_insert, heap_update, heap_delete, heap_mark4update) to be passed the command ID to use, instead of doing GetCurrentCommandID. For catalog updates they'll still get passed current command ID, but for updates generated from the main executor they'll get passed the command ID saved in the snapshot the query is using. This should fix some corner cases associated with functions and triggers that advance current command ID while an outer query is still in progress.
* Restructure indexscan API (index_beginscan, index_getnext) perTom Lane2002-05-20
| | | | | | | yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.

* First pass at set-returning-functions in FROM, by Joe Conway withTom Lane2002-05-12
| | | | | | some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
* Enforce EXECUTE privilege for aggregate functions.Tom Lane2002-04-29

* Support toasting of shared system relations, and provide toast tables forTom Lane2002-04-27
| | | | | | | | | pg_database, pg_shadow, pg_group, all of which now have potentially-long fields. Along the way, get rid of SharedSystemRelationNames list: shared rels are now identified in their include/pg_catalog/*.h files by a BKI_SHARED_RELATION macro, while indexes and toast rels inherit sharedness automatically from their parent table. Fix some bugs with failure to detoast pg_group.grolist during ALTER GROUP.
* 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.
* Operators live in namespaces. CREATE/DROP/COMMENT ON OPERATOR takeTom Lane2002-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | qualified operator names directly, for example CREATE OPERATOR myschema.+ ( ... ). To qualify an operator name in an expression you need to write OPERATOR(myschema.+) (thanks to Peter for suggesting an escape hatch). I also took advantage of having to reformat pg_operator to fix something that'd been bugging me for a while: mergejoinable operators should have explicit links to the associated cross-data-type comparison operators, rather than hardwiring an assumption that they are named < and >.
* The contents of command.c, creatinh.c, define.c, remove.c and rename.cTom Lane2002-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | have been divided according to the type of object manipulated - so ALTER TABLE code is in tablecmds.c, aggregate commands in aggregatecmds.c and so on. A few common support routines remain in define.c (prototypes in src/include/commands/defrem.h). No code has been changed except for includes to reflect the new files. The prototypes for aggregatecmds.c, functioncmds.c, operatorcmds.c, and typecmds.c remain in src/include/commands/defrem.h. From John Gray <jgray@azuli.co.uk>
* Checking to decide whether relations are system relations now dependsTom Lane2002-04-12
| | | | | on the namespace not the name; pg_ is not a reserved prefix for table names anymore. From Fernando Nasser.
* Restructure representation of aggregate functions so that they have pg_procTom Lane2002-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c. Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like, but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided breaking regression tests as much as I could.
