* Message editing: remove gratuitous variations in message wording, standardizePeter Eisentraut2003-09-25
| | | | | terms, add some clarifications, fix some untranslatable attempts at dynamic message building.
* Rewriter and planner should use only resno, not resname, to identifyTom Lane2003-08-11
| | | | | | | target columns in INSERT and UPDATE targetlists. Don't rely on resname to be accurate in ruleutils, either. This fixes bug reported by Donald Fraser, in which renaming a column referenced in a rule did not work very well.
* Code cleanup inspired by recent resname bug report (doesn't fix the bugTom Lane2003-08-11
| | | | | | | | yet, though). Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular resno. This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded search loops. Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with llast().

* Infrastructure for deducing Param types from context, in the same wayTom Lane2003-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* Phase 2 of read-only-plans project: restructure expression-tree nodesTom Lane2002-12-12
| | | | | | | | | so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least a little space and speed improvement. initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.

* The attached patch disallows the use of coldeflists for functions thatBruce Momjian2002-08-06
| | | | | | | | | don't return type RECORD. It also catches a core dump condition when a function returning RECORD had an alias list instead of a coldeflist. Now both conditions throw an ERROR. Joe Conway
* 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.

* ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN works. Patch by Christopher Kings-Lynne,Tom Lane2002-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!) a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what to do here. Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.

* 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 ...
* Second try at fixing join alias variables. Instead of attaching miscellaneousTom Lane2002-04-28
| | | | | | | | lists to join RTEs, attach a list of Vars and COALESCE expressions that will replace the join's alias variables during planning. This simplifies flatten_join_alias_vars while still making it easy to fix up varno references when transforming the query tree. Add regression test cases for interactions of subqueries with outer joins.
* Removed obsolete DROP_COLUMN_HACK stuff.Hiroshi Inoue2002-04-02

* pg_class has a relnamespace column. You can create and access tablesTom Lane2002-03-26
| | | | | | in schemas other than the system namespace; however, there's no search path yet, and not all operations work yet on tables outside the system namespace.
* A little further progress on schemas: push down RangeVars intoTom Lane2002-03-22
| | | | | | | addRangeTableEntry calls. Remove relname field from RTEs, since it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations; we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead. Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
* First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar andTom Lane2002-03-21
| | | | | | | | the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command. No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
* Restructure representation of join alias variables. An explicit JOINTom Lane2002-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do. Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end of planning, rather than during parsing. Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work. initdb forced due to change of stored-rule representation.
* Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian2002-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.

| | | | | | | | | | | | default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them. Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now; pg_description has a three-column key instead of one. Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and triggers in a valid order. initdb forced.
* Rewrite of planner statistics-gathering code. ANALYZE is now available asTom Lane2001-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too). pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values, not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command. There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before. A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.

* Change scoping of table and join refnames to conform to SQL92: a JOINTom Lane2001-02-14
| | | | | | | | | clause with an alias is a <subquery> and therefore hides table references appearing within it, according to the spec. This is the same as the preliminary patch I posted to pgsql-patches yesterday, plus some really grotty code in ruleutils.c to reverse-list a query tree with the correct alias name depending on context. I'd rather not have done that, but unless we want to force another initdb for 7.1, there's no other way for now.

* Make DROP TABLE rollback-able: postpone physical file delete until commit.Tom Lane2000-11-08
| | | | | | | | | (WAL logging for this is not done yet, however.) Clean up a number of really crufty things that are no longer needed now that DROP behaves nicely. Make temp table mapper do the right things when drop or rename affecting a temp table is rolled back. Also, remove "relation modified while in use" error check, in favor of locking tables at first reference and holding that lock throughout the statement.
* Subselects in FROM clause, per ISO syntax: FROM (SELECT ...) [AS] alias.Tom Lane2000-09-29
| | | | | | | | | (Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking moved out of rewriter and into executor. INITDB REQUIRED!
* Use variable aliases, if supplied, rather than real column names inTom Lane2000-09-25
| | | | | | | complaints about ungrouped variables. This is for consistency with behavior elsewhere, notably the fact that the relname is reported as an alias in these same complaints. Also, it'll work with subselect- in-FROM where old code didn't.
* First cut at full support for OUTER JOINs. There are still a few looseTom Lane2000-09-12
| | | | | ends to clean up (see my message of same date to pghackers), but mostly it works. INITDB REQUIRED!
* Remove 'func_tlist' from Func expression nodes, likewise 'param_tlist'Tom Lane2000-08-08
| | | | | | | | from Param nodes, per discussion a few days ago on pghackers. Add new expression node type FieldSelect that implements the functionality where it's actually needed. Clean up some other unused fields in Func nodes as well. NOTE: initdb forced due to change in stored expression trees for rules.
