* 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.

* 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.

* 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

Since this will break old-style C functions (those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain the old pass-by-reference behavior. Likewise, provide a configure option to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change. Zoltan Boszormenyi, plus configurability stuff by me.

* Separate parse-analysis for utility commands out of parser/analyze.cTom Lane2007-06-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (which now deals only in optimizable statements), and put that code into a new file parser/parse_utilcmd.c. This helps clarify and enforce the design rule that utility statements shouldn't be processed during the regular parse analysis phase; all interpretation of their meaning should happen after they are given to ProcessUtility to execute. (We need this because we don't retain any locks for a utility statement that's in a plan cache, nor have any way to detect that it's stale.) We are also able to simplify the API for parse_analyze() and related routines, because they will now always return exactly one Query structure. In passing, fix bug #3403 concerning trying to add a serial column to an existing temp table (this is largely Heikki's work, but we needed all that restructuring to make it safe).
* Fix up the remaining places where the expression node structure would loseTom Lane2007-03-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | available information about the typmod of an expression; namely, Const, ArrayRef, ArrayExpr, and EXPR and ARRAY SubLinks. In the ArrayExpr and SubLink cases it wasn't really the data structure's fault, but exprTypmod() being lazy. This seems like a good idea in view of the expected increase in typmod usage from Teodor's work to allow user-defined types to have typmods. In particular this responds to the concerns we had about eliminating the special-purpose hack that exprTypmod() used to have for BPCHAR Consts. We can now tell whether or not such a Const has been cast to a specific length, and report or display properly if so. initdb forced due to changes in stored rules.

* Improve parser so that we can show an error cursor position for errorsTom Lane2006-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages. This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq, which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.

* Support assignment to subfields of composite columns in UPDATE and INSERT.Tom Lane2004-06-09
| | | | | | | | As a side effect, cause subscripts in INSERT targetlists to do something more or less sensible; previously we evaluated such subscripts and then effectively ignored them. Another side effect is that UPDATE-ing an element or slice of an array value that is NULL now produces a non-null result, namely an array containing just the assigned-to positions.
* 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | that the types of untyped string-literal constants are deduced (ie, when coerce_type is applied to 'em, that's what the type must be). Remove the ancient hack of storing the input Param-types array as a global variable, and put the info into ParseState instead. This touches a lot of files because of adjustment of routine parameter lists, but it's really not a large patch. Note: PREPARE statement still insists on exact specification of parameter types, but that could easily be relaxed now, if we wanted to do so.

* 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.
