* Rename coerce_type() local variable.Noah Misch2015-05-02
| | | | | | coerce_type() has local variables named targetTypeId, baseTypeId, and targetType. targetType has been the Type structure for baseTypeId, so rename it to baseType.

* Support ordered-set (WITHIN GROUP) aggregates.Tom Lane2013-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(), percent_rank(), cume_dist()). We also added mode() though it is not in the spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data. Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions. To allow the support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c. This allows retrieval of the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the immediate need. There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up. In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER additions for aggregates. Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT. It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types but not these.

* Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.hAlvaro Herrera2012-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.

* Bend parse location rules for the convenience of pg_stat_statements.Tom Lane2012-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generally, the parse location assigned to a multiple-token construct is the location of its leftmost token. This commit breaks that rule for the syntaxes TYPENAME 'LITERAL' and CAST(CONSTANT AS TYPENAME) --- the resulting Const will have the location of the literal string, not the typename or CAST keyword. The cases where this matters are pretty thin on the ground (no error messages in the regression tests change, for example), and it's unlikely that any user would be confused anyway by an error cursor pointing at the literal. But still it's less than consistent. The reason for changing it is that contrib/pg_stat_statements wants to know the parse location of the original literal, and it was agreed that this is the least unpleasant way to preserve that information through parse analysis.

* Fix coerce_to_target_type for coerce_type's klugy handling of COLLATE.Tom Lane2012-01-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Because coerce_type recurses into the argument of a CollateExpr, coerce_to_target_type's longstanding code for detecting whether coerce_type had actually done anything (to wit, returned a different node than it passed in) was broken in 9.1. This resulted in unexpected failures in hide_coercion_node; which was not the latter's fault, since it's critical that we never call it on anything that wasn't inserted by coerce_type. (Else we might decide to "hide" a user-written function call.) Fix by removing and replacing the CollateExpr in coerce_to_target_type itself. This is all pretty ugly but I don't immediately see a way to make it nicer. Per report from Jean-Yves F. Barbier.

* Allow domains over arrays to match ANYARRAY parameters again.Tom Lane2011-06-08
| | | | | | | | | | | This use-case was broken in commit 529cb267a6843a6a8190c86b75d091771d99d6a9 of 2010-10-21, in which I commented "For the moment, we just forbid such matching. We might later wish to insert an automatic downcast to the underlying array type, but such a change should also change matching of domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency". We still lack consensus about what to do with ANYELEMENT; but not matching ANYARRAY is a clear loss of functionality compared to prior releases, so let's go ahead and make that happen. Per complaint from Regina Obe and extensive subsequent discussion.

* Avoid an unnecessary syscache lookup in parse_coerce.c.Tom Lane2011-04-08
| | | | | | All the other fields of the constant are being extracted from the syscache entry we already have, so handle collation similarly. (There don't seem to be any other uses for the new function at the moment.)
* Clean up a few failures to set collation fields in expression nodes.Tom Lane2011-03-26
| | | | | | | | | I'm not sure these have any non-cosmetic implications, but I'm not sure they don't, either. In particular, ensure the CaseTestExpr generated by transformAssignmentIndirection to represent the base target column carries the correct collation, because parse_collate.c won't fix that. Tweak lsyscache.c API so that we can get the appropriate collation without an extra syscache lookup.
* Pass collation to makeConst() instead of looking it up internally.Tom Lane2011-03-25
| | | | | | | | | In nearly all cases, the caller already knows the correct collation, and in a number of places, the value the caller has handy is more correct than the default for the type would be. (In particular, this patch makes it significantly less likely that eval_const_expressions will result in changing the exposed collation of an expression.) So an internal lookup is both expensive and wrong.
* Revise collation derivation method and expression-tree representation.Tom Lane2011-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All expression nodes now have an explicit output-collation field, unless they are known to only return a noncollatable data type (such as boolean or record). Also, nodes that can invoke collation-aware functions store a separate field that is the collation value to pass to the function. This avoids confusion that arises when a function has collatable inputs and noncollatable output type, or vice versa. Also, replace the parser's on-the-fly collation assignment method with a post-pass over the completed expression tree. This allows us to use a more complex (and hopefully more nearly spec-compliant) assignment rule without paying for it in extra storage in every expression node. Fix assorted bugs in the planner's handling of collations by making collation one of the defining properties of an EquivalenceClass and by converting CollateExprs into discardable RelabelType nodes during expression preprocessing.
* Split CollateClause into separate raw and analyzed node types.Tom Lane2011-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | CollateClause is now used only in raw grammar output, and CollateExpr after parse analysis. This is for clarity and to avoid carrying collation names in post-analysis parse trees: that's both wasteful and possibly misleading, since the collation's name could be changed while the parsetree still exists. Also, clean up assorted infelicities and omissions in processing of the node type.
* Per-column collation supportPeter Eisentraut2011-02-08

* Improve handling of domains over arrays.Tom Lane2010-10-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch eliminates various bizarre behaviors caused by sloppy thinking about the difference between a domain type and its underlying array type. In particular, the operation of updating one element of such an array has to be considered as yielding a value of the underlying array type, *not* a value of the domain, because there's no assurance that the domain's CHECK constraints are still satisfied. If we're intending to store the result back into a domain column, we have to re-cast to the domain type so that constraints are re-checked. For similar reasons, such a domain can't be blindly matched to an ANYARRAY polymorphic parameter, because the polymorphic function is likely to apply array-ish operations that could invalidate the domain constraints. For the moment, we just forbid such matching. We might later wish to insert an automatic downcast to the underlying array type, but such a change should also change matching of domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency. To ensure that all such logic is rechecked, this patch removes the original hack of setting a domain's pg_type.typelem field to match its base type; the typelem will always be zero instead. In those places where it's really okay to look through the domain type with no other logic changes, use the newly added get_base_element_type function in place of get_element_type. catversion bumped due to change in pg_type contents. Per bug #5717 from Richard Huxton and subsequent discussion.

* Wrap calls to SearchSysCache and related functions using macros.Robert Haas2010-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists, GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code shorter, too. Design and review by Tom Lane.

* Implement parser hooks for processing ColumnRef and ParamRef nodes, as per myTom Lane2009-10-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | recent proposal. As proof of concept, remove knowledge of Params from the core parser, arranging for them to be handled entirely by parser hook functions. It turns out we need an additional hook for that --- I had forgotten about the code that handles inferring a parameter's type from context. This is a preliminary step towards letting plpgsql handle its variables through parser hooks. Additional work remains to be done to expose the facility through SPI, but I think this is all the changes needed in the core parser.

* Modify find_inheritance_children() and find_all_inheritors() to add theTom Lane2009-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | ability to lock relations as they scan pg_inherits, and to ignore any relations that have disappeared by the time we get lock on them. This makes uses of these functions safe against concurrent DROP operations on child tables: we will effectively ignore any just-dropped child, rather than possibly throwing an error as in recent bug report from Thomas Johansson (and similar past complaints). The behavior should not change otherwise, since the code was acquiring those same locks anyway, just a little bit later. An exception is LockTableCommand(), which is still behaving unsafely; but that seems to require some more discussion before we change it.
* Do some minor code refactoring in preparation for changing the APIs ofTom Lane2009-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | find_inheritance_children() and find_all_inheritors(). I got annoyed that these are buried inside the planner but mostly used elsewhere. So, create a new file catalog/pg_inherits.c and put them there, along with a couple of other functions that search pg_inherits. The code that modifies pg_inherits is (still) in tablecmds.c --- it's kind of entangled with unrelated code that modifies pg_depend and other stuff, so pulling it out seemed like a bigger change than I wanted to make right now. But this file provides a natural home for it if anyone ever gets around to that. This commit just moves code around; it doesn't change anything, except I succumbed to the temptation to make a couple of trivial optimizations in typeInheritsFrom().

I had overlooked the fact that this is a possible case while fixing bug #3852; but it is possible because pg_statistic contains columns declared ANYARRAY. Per gripe from Corey Horton.

* Add a heuristic to transformAExprIn() to make it prefer expanding "x IN (list)"Tom Lane2008-10-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | into an OR of equality comparisons, rather than x = ANY(ARRAY[...]), when there are Vars in the right-hand side. This avoids a performance regression compared to pre-8.2 releases, in cases where the OR form can be optimized into scans of multiple indexes. Limit the possible downside by preferring this form only when the list isn't very long (I set the cutoff at 32 elements, which is a bit arbitrary but in the right ballpark). Per discussion with Jim Nasby. In passing, also make it try the OR form if it cannot select a common type for the array elements; we've seen a complaint or two about how the OR form worked for such cases and ARRAY doesn't.
* Implement comparison of generic records (composite types), and invent aTom Lane2008-10-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | pseudo-type record[] to represent arrays of possibly-anonymous composite types. Since composite datums carry their own type identification, no extra knowledge is needed at the array level. The main reason for doing this right now is that it is necessary to support the general case of detection of cycles in recursive queries: if you need to compare more than one column to detect a cycle, you need to compare a ROW() to an array built from ROW()s, at least if you want to do it as the spec suggests. Add some documentation and regression tests concerning the cycle detection issue.
* When expanding a whole-row Var into a RowExpr during ResolveNew(), attachTom Lane2008-10-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | the column alias names of the RTE referenced by the Var to the RowExpr. This is needed to allow ruleutils.c to correctly deparse FieldSelect nodes referencing such a construct. Per my recent bug report. Adding a field to RowExpr forces initdb (because of stored rules changes) so this solution is not back-patchable; which is unfortunate because 8.2 and 8.3 have this issue. But it only affects EXPLAIN for some pretty odd corner cases, so we can probably live without a solution for the back branches.
* Make our parsing of INTERVAL literals spec-compliant (or at least a heck ofTom Lane2008-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a lot closer than it was before). To do this, tweak coerce_type() to pass through the typmod information when invoking interval_in() on an UNKNOWN constant; then fix DecodeInterval to pay attention to the typmod when deciding how to interpret a units-less integer value. I changed one or two other details as well. I believe the code now reacts as expected by spec for all the literal syntaxes that are specifically enumerated in the spec. There are corner cases involving strings that don't exactly match the set of fields called out by the typmod, for which we might want to tweak the behavior some more; but I think this is an area of user friendliness rather than spec compliance. There remain some non-compliant details about the SQL syntax (as opposed to what's inside the literal string); but at least we'll throw error rather than silently doing the wrong thing in those cases.
* Add a bunch of new error location reports to parse-analysis error messages.Tom Lane2008-09-01
| | | | | There are still some weak spots around JOIN USING and relation alias lists, but most errors reported within backend/parser/ now have locations.
* Extend the parser location infrastructure to include a location field inTom Lane2008-08-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | most node types used in expression trees (both before and after parse analysis). This allows us to place an error cursor in many situations where we formerly could not, because the information wasn't available beyond the very first level of parse analysis. There's a fair amount of work still to be done to persuade individual ereport() calls to actually include an error location, but this gets the initdb-forcing part of the work out of the way; and the situation is already markedly better than before for complaints about unimplementable implicit casts, such as CASE and UNION constructs with incompatible alternative data types. Per my proposal of a few days ago.
* Move exprType(), exprTypmod(), expression_tree_walker(), and related routinesTom Lane2008-08-25
| | | | | | into nodes/nodeFuncs, so as to reduce wanton cross-subsystem #includes inside the backend. There's probably more that should be done along this line, but this is a start anyway.
* Allow I/O conversion casts to be applied to or from any type that is a memberTom Lane2008-07-30
| | | | | | | of the STRING type category, thereby opening up the mechanism for user-defined types. This is mainly for the benefit of citext, though; there aren't likely to be a lot of types that are all general-purpose character strings. Per discussion with David Wheeler.
* Replace the hard-wired type knowledge in TypeCategory() and IsPreferredType()Tom Lane2008-07-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | with system catalog lookups, as was foreseen to be necessary almost since their creation. Instead put the information into two new pg_type columns, typcategory and typispreferred. Add support for setting these when creating a user-defined base type. The category column is just a "char" (i.e. a poor man's enum), allowing a crude form of user extensibility of the category list: just use an otherwise-unused character. This seems sufficient for foreseen uses, but we could upgrade to having an actual category catalog someday, if there proves to be a huge demand for custom type categories. In this patch I have attempted to hew exactly to the behavior of the previous hardwired logic, except for introducing new type categories for arrays, composites, and enums. In particular the default preferred state for user-defined types remains TRUE. That seems worth revisiting, but it should be done as a separate patch from introducing the infrastructure. Likewise, any adjustment of the standard set of categories should be done separately.
