* Major revision of sort-node handling: push knowledge of queryTom Lane1999-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | sort order down into planner, instead of handling it only at the very top level of the planner. This fixes many things. An explicit sort is now avoided if there is a cheaper alternative (typically an indexscan) not only for ORDER BY, but also for the internal sort of GROUP BY. It works even when there is no other reason (such as a WHERE condition) to consider the indexscan. It works for indexes on functions. It works for indexes on functions, backwards. It's just so cool... CAUTION: I have changed the representation of SortClause nodes, therefore THIS UPDATE BREAKS STORED RULES. You will need to initdb.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | been applied. The patches are in the .tar.gz attachment at the end: varchar-array.patch this patch adds support for arrays of bpchar() and varchar(), which where always missing from postgres. These datatypes can be used to replace the _char4, _char8, etc., which were dropped some time ago. block-size.patch this patch fixes many errors in the parser and other program which happen with very large query statements (> 8K) when using a page size larger than 8192. This patch is needed if you want to submit queries larger than 8K. Postgres supports tuples up to 32K but you can't insert them because you can't submit queries larger than 8K. My patch fixes this problem. The patch also replaces all the occurrences of `8192' and `1<<13' in the sources with the proper constants defined in include files. You should now never find 8192 hardwired in C code, just to make code clearer. -- Massimo Dal Zotto

* Here's a combination of all the patches I'm currently waitingBruce Momjian1998-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | for against a just updated CVS tree. It contains Partial new rewrite system that handles subselects, view aggregate columns, insert into select from view, updates with set col = view-value and select rules restriction to view definition. Updates for rule/view backparsing utility functions to handle subselects correct. New system views pg_tables and pg_indexes (where you can see the complete index definition in the latter one). Enabling array references on query parameters. Bugfix for functional index. Little changes to system views pg_rules and pg_views. The rule system isn't a release-stopper any longer. But another stopper is that I don't know if the latest changes to PL/pgSQL (not already in CVS) made it compile on AIX. Still wait for some response from Dave. Jan

patch is applied: Rewrite rules on relation level work fine now. Event qualifications on insert/update/delete rules work fine now. I added the new keyword OLD to reference the CURRENT tuple. CURRENT will be removed in 6.5. Update rules can reference NEW and OLD in the rule qualification and the actions. Insert/update/delete rules on views can be established to let them behave like real tables. For insert/update/delete rules multiple actions are supported now. The actions can also be surrounded by parantheses to make psql happy. Multiple actions are required if update to a view requires updates to multiple tables. Regular users are permitted to create/drop rules on tables they have RULE permissions for (DefineQueryRewrite() is now able to get around the access restrictions on pg_rewrite). This enables view creation for regular users too. This required an extra boolean parameter to pg_parse_and_plan() that tells to set skipAcl on all rangetable entries of the resulting queries. There is a new function pg_exec_query_acl_override() that could be used by backend utilities to use this facility. All rule actions (not only views) inherit the permissions of the event relations owner. Sample: User A creates tables T1 and T2, creates rules that log INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on T1 in T2 (like in the regression tests for rules I created) and grants ALL but RULE on T1 to user B. User B can now fully access T1 and the logging happens in T2. But user B cannot access T2 at all, only the rule actions can. And due to missing RULE permissions on T1, user B cannot disable logging. Rules on the attribute level are disabled (they don't work properly and since regular users are now permitted to create rules I decided to disable them). Rules on select must have exactly one action that is a select (so select rules must be a view definition). UPDATE NEW/OLD rules are disabled (still broken, but triggers can do it). There are two new system views (pg_rule and pg_view) that show the definition of the rules or views so the db admin can see what the users do. They use two new functions pg_get_ruledef() and pg_get_viewdef() that are builtins. The functions pg_get_ruledef() and pg_get_viewdef() could be used to implement rule and view support in pg_dump. PostgreSQL is now the only database system I know, that has rewrite rules on the query level. All others (where I found a rule statement at all) use stored database procedures or the like (triggers as we call them) for active rules (as some call them). Future of the rule system: The now disabled parts of the rule system (attribute level, multiple actions on select and update new stuff) require a complete new rewrite handler from scratch. The old one is too badly wired up. After 6.4 I'll start to work on a new rewrite handler, that fully supports the attribute level rules, multiple actions on select and update new. This will be available for 6.5 so we get full rewrite rule capabilities. Jan
