| | | | | | | the XmlExpr code in various lists, use a representation that has some hope of reverse-listing correctly (though it's still a de-escaping function shy of correctness), generally try to make it look more like Postgres coding conventions.

* Cause '*' and 'foo.*' notations to mark the referenced RTE(s) asTom Lane2006-08-14
| | | | | | | | | requiring read permissions. Up till now there was no possible case in which the RTEs wouldn't already have ACL_SELECT set ... but now that you can say something like 'INSERT INTO foo ... RETURNING *' this is an essential step. With this commit, a RETURNING clause adds the requirement for SELECT permissions on the target table if and only if the clause actually reads the value of at least one target-table column.
* Add support for multi-row VALUES clauses as part of INSERT statementsJoe Conway2006-08-02
| | | | | | (e.g. "INSERT ... VALUES (...), (...), ...") and elsewhere as allowed by the spec. (e.g. similar to a FROM clause subselect). initdb required. Joe Conway and Tom Lane.

* Allow include files to compile own their own.Bruce Momjian2006-07-13
| | | | | | | Strip unused include files out unused include files, and add needed includes to C files. The next step is to remove unused include files in C files.
* Change the row constructor syntax (ROW(...)) so that list elements foo.*Tom Lane2006-06-26
| | | | | | | | | | will be expanded to a list of their member fields, rather than creating a nested rowtype field as formerly. (The old behavior is still available by omitting '.*'.) This syntax is not allowed by the SQL spec AFAICS, so changing its behavior doesn't violate the spec. The new behavior is substantially more useful since it allows, for example, triggers to check for data changes with 'if row(new.*) is distinct from row(old.*)'. Per my recent proposal.
* Fix problems with cached tuple descriptors disappearing while still in useTom Lane2006-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context. Neil Conway and Tom Lane
* Add error location info to ResTarget parse nodes. Allows error cursor to be ↵Tom Lane2006-03-23
| | | | | | supplied for various mistakes involving INSERT and UPDATE target columns.
* 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.

* Re-run pgindent, fixing a problem where comment lines after a blankBruce Momjian2005-11-22
| | | | | | | | | comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for indenting). Backpatch to 8.1.X.

* Add Oracle-compatible GREATEST and LEAST functions. Pavel StehuleTom Lane2005-06-26

* Replace the parser's namespace tree (which formerly had the sameTom Lane2005-06-05
| | | | | | | | | representation as the jointree) with two lists of RTEs, one showing the RTEs accessible by qualified names, and the other showing the RTEs accessible by unqualified names. I think this is conceptually simpler than what we did before, and it's sure a whole lot easier to search. This seems to eliminate the parse-time bottleneck for deeply nested JOIN structures that was exhibited by phil@vodafone.
* Change expandRTE() and ResolveNew() back to taking just the singleTom Lane2005-06-04
| | | | | | RTE of interest, rather than the whole rangetable list. This makes the API more understandable and avoids duplicate RTE lookups. This patch reverts no-longer-needed portions of my patch of 2004-08-19.
* ParseComplexProjection should make use of expandRecordVariable so thatTom Lane2005-05-31
| | | | | it can handle cases like (foo.x).y where foo is a subquery and x is a function-returning-RECORD RTE in that subquery.
* On further experimentation, there were still a couple of bugs inTom Lane2005-04-25
| | | | ExpandIndirectionStar() ... and in markTargetListOrigin() too.
* Fix ExpandIndirectionStar to handle cases where the expression to beTom Lane2005-04-25
| | | | | | expanded is of RECORD type, eg 'select (foo).* from (select foo(f1) from t1) ss' where foo() is a function declared with multiple OUT parameters.
* Merge Resdom nodes into TargetEntry nodes to simplify code and save aTom Lane2005-04-06
| | | | | | | | | few palloc's. I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date. initdb forced due to change in contents of stored rules.
* Use a bitmapset instead of a list for duplicate-column checking inTom Lane2005-03-26
| | | | checkInsertTargets(). Avoids O(N^2) behavior on wide target lists.
* get_names_for_var didn't do recursion for unnamed JOIN vars quite right;Tom Lane2005-01-13
| | | | | | | got it wrong when the JOIN was in an outer query level. Per example from Laurie Burrow. Also fix same issue in markTargetListOrigin. I think the latter is only a latent bug since we currently don't apply markTargetListOrigin except at the outer level ... but should do it right anyway.
* Tag appropriate files for rc3PostgreSQL Daemon2004-12-31
| | | | | | | | Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...
* Make error message more verbose, in hopes of avoiding misunderstandingsTom Lane2004-10-25
| | | | such as bug #1293.
* Come to think of it, functions in FROM have the same syntactic restrictionTom Lane2004-09-30
| | | | | as CREATE INDEX did, and can be fixed the same way, for another small improvement in usability and reduction in grammar size.

* Repair some issues with column aliases and RowExpr construction in theTom Lane2004-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | presence of dropped columns. Document the already-presumed fact that eref aliases in relation RTEs are supposed to have entries for dropped columns; cause the user alias structs to have such entries too, so that there's always a one-to-one mapping to the underlying physical attnums. Adjust expandRTE() and related code to handle the case where a column that is part of a JOIN has been dropped. Generalize expandRTE()'s API so that it can be used in a couple of places that formerly rolled their own implementation of the same logic. Fix ruleutils.c to suppress display of aliases for columns that were dropped since the rule was made.
* Fix oversight in recent rowtype-handling improvements: transformTargetListTom Lane2004-06-19
| | | | | | should recognize 'foo.*' when the star appears in A_Indirection, not only in ColumnRef. This allows 'SELECT something.*' to do what the user expects when the something is an expression yielding a row.
* 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.
* Some more de-FastList-ification.Tom Lane2004-06-01

* Use the new List API function names throughout the backend, and disable theNeil Conway2004-05-30
| | | | | list compatibility API by default. While doing this, I decided to keep the llast() macro around and introduce llast_int() and llast_oid() variants.
* 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.
* Promote row expressions to full-fledged citizens of the expression syntax,Tom Lane2004-05-10
| | | | | | | | | | rather than allowing them only in a few special cases as before. In particular you can now pass a ROW() construct to a function that accepts a rowtype parameter. Internal generation of RowExprs fixes a number of corner cases that used to not work very well, such as referencing the whole-row result of a JOIN or subquery. This represents a further step in the work I started a month or so back to make rowtype values into first-class citizens.
* Get rid of crocky use of RangeVar nodes in parser to represent partiallyTom Lane2004-04-02
| | | | transformed whole-row variables. Cleaner to use regular whole-row Vars.
* Try to make 'cross-database references are not implemented' errors aTom Lane2004-02-13

* 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().
