* 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.

* Implement IS OF and IS NOT OF type predicate.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Can now do queries of the form: SELECT value IS OF (integer, float8); Define macros for handling typmod manipulation for date/time types. Should be more robust than all of that brute-force inline code. Rename macros for masking and typmod manipulation to put TIMESTAMP_ or INTERVAL_ in front of the macro name, to reduce the possibility of name space collisions. Allow bit string constants without fully-specified length declaration. Try implementing CREATE TABLE/OF as a mapping to inheritance. May be appropriate, or may be replace later with something more exactly like one might expect from databases without the feature.
* Implement IS OF type predicate. Can now do queries of the form:Thomas G. Lockhart2002-08-04
| | | | select value IS OF (integer, float8);
* Implement hex literal conversion to bit string literal.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-08-04
| | | | | | | May not be the long-term solution (some continuing discussion with Peter E.) but better than the current mapping of a conversion to integer which I'd put in years ago before we had any bit string types at all. This is already supported in the bit string implementation elsewhere.
* The attached patch implements START TRANSACTION, per SQL99. TheBruce Momjian2002-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | functionality of the command is basically identical to that of BEGIN; it just accepts a few extra options (only one of which PostgreSQL currently implements), and is standards-compliant. The patch includes a simple regression test and documentation. [ Regression tests removed, per Peter.] Neil Conway
* 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.
* Instead of having a configure-time DEFAULT_ATTSTATTARGET, store -1 inTom Lane2002-07-31
| | | | | | | | attstattarget to indicate 'use the default'. The default is now a GUC variable default_statistics_target, and so may be changed on the fly. Along the way we gain the ability to have pg_dump dump the per-column statistics target when it's not the default. Patch by Neil Conway, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.
* The attached patch removes the last remnants of support forBruce Momjian2002-07-30
| | | | | | | | 'tioga recipes', whatever those are -- Peter E. killed most of it a couple days ago, but this patch removes the rest. Most of it was #ifdef'ed out anyway. Neil Conway
* Centralize code for interpreting schema references, which had gottenTom Lane2002-07-29
| | | | | | copied more places than I first thought it would. This fixes a bug: a couple of these places were neglecting to enforce USAGE access on explicitly-referenced schemas.
* Implement CREATE/DROP OPERATOR CLASS. Work still remains: need moreTom Lane2002-07-29
| | | | | | | documentation (xindex.sgml should be rewritten), need to teach pg_dump about it, need to update contrib modules that currently build pg_opclass entries by hand. Original patch by Bill Studenmund, grammar adjustments and general update for 7.3 by Tom Lane.
* Remove unused system table columns:Peter Eisentraut2002-07-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pg_language.lancompiler pg_operator.oprprec pg_operator.oprisleft pg_proc.proimplicit pg_proc.probyte_pct pg_proc.properbyte_cpu pg_proc.propercall_cpu pg_proc.prooutin_ratio pg_shadow.usetrace pg_type.typprtlen pg_type.typreceive pg_type.typsend Attempts to use the obsoleted attributes of pg_operator or pg_proc in the CREATE commands will be greeted by a warning. For pg_type, there is no warning (yet) because pg_dump scripts still contain these attributes. Also remove new but already obsolete spellings isVolatile, isStable, isImmutable in WITH clause. (Use new syntax instead.)
* The attached patch fixes 2 trivial warnings generated by bison 1.35,Bruce Momjian2002-07-20
| | | | | | as a result of Peter's recent CREATE CAST changes. Neil Conway
* Manually apply part of oid patch that didn't apply cleanly.Bruce Momjian2002-07-20
|
* oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian2002-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar
* pg_cast table, and standards-compliant CREATE/DROP CAST commands, plusPeter Eisentraut2002-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | extension to create binary compatible casts. Includes dependency tracking as well. pg_proc.proimplicit is now defunct, but will be removed in a separate commit. pg_dump provides a migration path from the previous scheme to declare casts. Dumping binary compatible casts is currently impossible, though.
* Back out BETWEEN node patch, was causing initdb failure.Bruce Momjian2002-07-18

* Implement DROP SCHEMA. It lacks support for dropping conversions andTom Lane2002-07-18
| | | | | operator classes, both of which are schema-local and so should really be droppable.
* The attached patch (against HEAD) implementsBruce Momjian2002-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | COPY x (a,d,c,b) from stdin; COPY x (a,c) to stdout; as well as the corresponding changes to pg_dump to use the new functionality. This functionality is not available when using the BINARY option. If a column is not specified in the COPY FROM statement, its default values will be used. In addition to this functionality, I tweaked a couple of the error messages emitted by the new COPY <options> checks. Brent Verner
* Finished the Between patch Christopher started.Bruce Momjian2002-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Implements between (symmetric / asymmetric) as a node. Executes the left or right expression once, makes a Const out of the resulting Datum and executes the >=, <= portions out of the Const sets. Of course, the parser does a fair amount of preparatory work for this to happen. Rod Taylor
* I have committed many support files for CREATE CONVERSION. DefaultTatsuo Ishii2002-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | conversion procs and conversions are added in initdb. Currently supported conversions are: UTF-8(UNICODE) <--> SQL_ASCII, ISO-8859-1 to 16, EUC_JP, EUC_KR, EUC_CN, EUC_TW, SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, UHC, JOHAB, TCVN EUC_JP <--> SJIS EUC_TW <--> BIG5 MULE_INTERNAL <--> EUC_JP, SJIS, EUC_TW, BIG5 Note that initial contents of pg_conversion system catalog are created in the initdb process. So doing initdb required is ideal, it's possible to add them to your databases by hand, however. To accomplish this: psql -f your_postgresql_install_path/share/conversion_create.sql your_database So I did not bump up the version in cataversion.h. TODO: Add more conversion procs Add [CASCADE|RESTRICT] to DROP CONVERSION Add tuples to pg_depend Add regression tests Write docs Add SQL99 CONVERT command? -- Tatsuo Ishii
* Add more dependency insertions --- this completes the basic pg_dependTom Lane2002-07-16
| | | | | functionality. Of note: dropping a table that has a SERIAL column defined now drops the associated sequence automatically.
* Add COMMENT ON CONSTRAINT facility (from Rod Taylor's pg_constraint patch).Tom Lane2002-07-14
| | | | | Fix comment.c to not depend on parser token values, per discussion awhile back.
* Second phase of committing Rod Taylor's pg_depend/pg_constraint patch.Tom Lane2002-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint. pg_depend exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP; however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies. (Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.
* Add new CREATE CONVERSION/DROP CONVERSION command.Tatsuo Ishii2002-07-11
| | | | | | | This is the first cut toward CREATE CONVERSION/DROP CONVERSION implementaion. The commands can now add/remove tuples to the new pg_conversion system catalog, but that's all. Still need work to make them actually working. Documentations, regression tests also need work.
* Oops, proper initialization for domainTypMod was none at all, not 0.Bruce Momjian2002-07-09
|
* Fix compiler warning:Bruce Momjian2002-07-09
| | | | | | | | int32 domainTypMod = NULL; should be: int32 domainTypMod = 0;
* I've fixed up the way domain constraints (not null and type length)Bruce Momjian2002-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | are managed as per request. Moved from merging with table attributes to applying themselves during coerce_type() and coerce_type_typmod. Regression tests altered to test the cast() scenarios. Rod Taylor
* Implement the IS DISTINCT FROM operator per SQL99.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required by SQL99. We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend. Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99. This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses. Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().
* First phase of applying Rod Taylor's pg_depend patch. This just addsTom Lane2002-07-01
| | | | | | | RESTRICT/CASCADE syntax to the DROP commands that need it, and propagates the behavioral option through the parser to the routines that execute drops. Doesn't do anything useful yet, but I figured I'd commit these changes so I could get out of the parser area while working on the rest.
* Implement SQL99 CREATE CAST and DROP CAST statements.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Also implement alternative forms to expose the PostgreSQL CREATE FUNCTION features. Implement syntax for READ ONLY and READ WRITE clauses in SET TRANSACTION. READ WRITE is already implemented (of course). Implement syntax for "LIKE table" clause in CREATE TABLE. Should be fairly easy to complete since it resembles SELECT INTO. Implement MATCH SIMPLE clause for foreign key definitions. This is explicit SQL99 syntax for the default behavior, so we now support it :) Start implementation of shorthand for national character literals in scanner. For now, just swallow the leading "N", but sometime soon let's figure out how to pass leading type info from the scanner to the parser. We should use the same technique for binary and hex bit string literals, though it might be unusual to have two apparently independent literal types fold into the same storage type.

* Add LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP functions per SQL99 standard.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | Remove ODBC-compatible empty parentheses from calls to SQL99 functions for which these parentheses do not match the standard. Update the ODBC driver to ensure compatibility with the ODBC standard for these functions (e.g. CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_USER, etc). Include a new appendix in the User's Guide which lists the labeled features for SQL99 (the labeled features replaced the "basic", "intermediate", and "advanced" categories from SQL92). features.sgml does not yet split this list into "supported" and "unsupported" lists.

* Repair for bug #691 --- CREATE TABLE AS column aliases fail to beTom Lane2002-06-13
| | | | | | | | | applied when the select is a UNION (or other set-operation). An alternative route to a fix would be to leave analyze.c alone and change plan_set_operations in prepunion.c to take column names from the topmost targetlist. But I am not sure that would work in all cases. This patch seems the minimum-risk fix.
* Implement SQL99 OVERLAY(). Allows substitution of a substring in a string.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-06-11
| | | | | | | | | | | Implement SQL99 SIMILAR TO as a synonym for our existing operator "~". Implement SQL99 regular expression SUBSTRING(string FROM pat FOR escape). Extend the definition to make the FOR clause optional. Define textregexsubstr() to actually implement this feature. Update the regression test to include these new string features. All tests pass. Rename the regular expression support routines from "pg95_xxx" to "pg_xxx". Define CREATE CHARACTER SET in the parser per SQL99. No implementation yet.
