* Improved version of patch to protect pg_get_expr() against misuse:Tom Lane2010-07-29
| | | | | | | | | | | look through join alias Vars to avoid breaking join queries, and move the test to someplace where it will catch more possible ways of calling a function. We still ought to throw away the whole thing in favor of a data-type-based solution, but that's not feasible in the back branches. This needs to be back-patched further than 9.0, but I don't have time to do so today. Committing now so that the fix gets into 9.0beta4.

* 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.

* Remove a couple of unnecessary calls of CreateCacheMemoryContext. TheseTom Lane2009-12-27

* Improve the plan cache invalidation mechanism to make it invalidate plansTom Lane2008-09-09
| | | | | | | | | when user-defined functions used in a plan are modified. Also invalidate plans when schemas, operators, or operator classes are modified; but for these cases we just invalidate everything rather than tracking exact dependencies, since these types of objects seldom change in a production database. Tom Lane; loosely based on a patch by Martin Pihlak.
* 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.
* Rearrange the querytree representation of ORDER BY/GROUP BY/DISTINCT itemsTom Lane2008-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as per my recent proposal: 1. Fold SortClause and GroupClause into a single node type SortGroupClause. We were already relying on them to be struct-equivalent, so using two node tags wasn't accomplishing much except to get in the way of comparing items with equal(). 2. Add an "eqop" field to SortGroupClause to carry the associated equality operator. This is cheap for the parser to get at the same time it's looking up the sort operator, and storing it eliminates the need for repeated not-so-cheap lookups during planning. In future this will also let us represent GROUP/DISTINCT operations on datatypes that have hash opclasses but no btree opclasses (ie, they have equality but no natural sort order). The previous representation simply didn't work for that, since its only indicator of comparison semantics was a sort operator. 3. Add a hasDistinctOn boolean to struct Query to explicitly record whether the distinctClause came from DISTINCT or DISTINCT ON. This allows removing some complicated and not 100% bulletproof code that attempted to figure that out from the distinctClause alone. This patch doesn't in itself create any new capability, but it's necessary infrastructure for future attempts to use hash-based grouping for DISTINCT and UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT.
* Issue explicit error messages for attempts to use "shell" operators inTom Lane2008-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | ordinary expressions. This probably doesn't catch every single case where you might get "cache lookup failed for function 0" for use of a shell operator, but it will catch most. Per bug #4120 from Pedro Gimeno. This patch incidentally folds make_op_expr() into its sole remaining caller --- the alternative was to give it yet more arguments, which didn't seem an improvement.
* The original implementation of polymorphic aggregates didn't really get theTom Lane2008-01-11

* Install a lookaside cache to speed up repeated lookups of the same operatorTom Lane2007-11-28
| | | | | | | | | by short-circuiting schema search path and ambiguous-operator resolution computations. Remarkably, this buys as much as 45% speedup of repetitive simple queries that involve operators that are not an exact match to the input datatypes. It should be marginally faster even for exact-match cases, though I've not had success in proving an improvement in benchmark tests. Per report from Guillame Smet and subsequent discussion.
* Actually ... it's pretty silly that parse_oper.c doesn't set up theTom Lane2007-11-22
| | | | | | | opfuncid of an OpExpr initially, considering that it has the information at hand already. We'll still treat opfuncid as a cache rather than a guaranteed-valid value, but this change saves one more syscache lookup in the normal code path.

* Ensure that typmod decoration on a datatype name is validated in all cases,Tom Lane2007-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | even in code paths where we don't pay any subsequent attention to the typmod value. This seems needed in view of the fact that 8.3's generalized typmod support will accept a lot of bogus syntax, such as "timestamp(foo)" or "record(int, 42)" --- if we allow such things to pass without comment, users will get confused. Per a recent example from Greg Stark. To implement this in a way that's not very vulnerable to future bugs-of-omission, refactor the API of parse_type.c's TypeName lookup routines so that typmod validation is folded into the base lookup operation. Callers can still choose not to receive the encoded typmod, but we'll check the decoration anyway if it's present.

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

* Provide a namespace.c function for lookup of an operator with exactTom Lane2006-05-01

This is faster than the old method when there's an exact match, and it does not seem materially slower when there's not. And it definitely makes some of the callers cleaner, because they didn't really want to know about a list of candidates anyway. Per discussion with Atsushi Ogawa.
* 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.

* Implement SQL-compliant treatment of row comparisons for < <= > >= casesTom Lane2005-12-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (previously we only did = and <> correctly). Also, allow row comparisons with any operators that are in btree opclasses, not only those with these specific names. This gets rid of a whole lot of indefensible assumptions about the behavior of particular operators based on their names ... though it's still true that IN and NOT IN expand to "= ANY". The patch adds a RowCompareExpr expression node type, and makes some changes in the representation of ANY/ALL/ROWCOMPARE SubLinks so that they can share code with RowCompareExpr. I have not yet done anything about making RowCompareExpr an indexable operator, but will look at that soon. initdb forced due to changes in stored rules.

The parser's equality_oper and ordering_oper routines also use the cache. Change the operator search algorithms to look for appropriate btree or hash index opclasses, instead of assuming operators named '<' or '=' have the right semantics. (ORDER BY ASC/DESC now also look at opclasses, instead of assuming '<' and '>' are the right things.) Add several more index opclasses so that there is no regression in functionality for base datatypes. initdb forced due to catalog additions.

| | | | | | | | | | 'scalar op ALL (array)', where the operator is applied between the lefthand scalar and each element of the array.

Create a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes on array columns. Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call. Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions. Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become supported functions. Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or zero-dimensional arrays. Joe Conway (with some editorializing by Tom Lane).
