* Support ORDER BY ... NULLS FIRST/LAST, and add ASC/DESC/NULLS FIRST/NULLS LASTTom Lane2007-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | per-column options for btree indexes. The planner's support for this is still pretty rudimentary; it does not yet know how to plan mergejoins with nondefault ordering options. The documentation is pretty rudimentary, too. I'll work on improving that stuff later. Note incompatible change from prior behavior: ORDER BY ... USING will now be rejected if the operator is not a less-than or greater-than member of some btree opclass. This prevents less-than-sane behavior if an operator that doesn't actually define a proper sort ordering is selected.

| | | | | | | 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.
* Restructure operator classes to allow improved handling of cross-data-typeTom Lane2006-12-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cases. Operator classes now exist within "operator families". While most families are equivalent to a single class, related classes can be grouped into one family to represent the fact that they are semantically compatible. Cross-type operators are now naturally adjunct parts of a family, without having to wedge them into a particular opclass as we had done originally. This commit restructures the catalogs and cleans up enough of the fallout so that everything still works at least as well as before, but most of the work needed to actually improve the planner's behavior will come later. Also, there are not yet CREATE/DROP/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands; the only way to create a new family right now is to allow CREATE OPERATOR CLASS to make one by default. I owe some more documentation work, too. But that can all be done in smaller pieces once this infrastructure is in place.
* Initial SQL/XML support: xml data type and initial set of functions.Peter Eisentraut2006-12-21

* Fix pg_get_serial_sequence(), which could incorrectly return the nameTom Lane2006-11-10
| | | | | | of an index on a serial column, rather than the name of the associated sequence. Fallout from recent changes in dependency setup for serials. Per bug #2732 from Basil Evseenko.

| | | | | CaseTestExpr, but forgot that the optimizer is sometimes able to replace CaseTestExpr by Const.
* Fix all known problems with pg_dump's handling of serial sequencesTom Lane2006-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | by abandoning the idea that it should say SERIAL in the dump. Instead, dump serial sequences and column defaults just like regular ones. Add a new backend command ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY to let pg_dump recreate the sequence-to-column dependency that was formerly created "behind the scenes" by SERIAL. This restores SERIAL to being truly "just a macro" consisting of component operations that can be stated explicitly in SQL. Furthermore, the new command allows sequence ownership to be reassigned, so that old mistakes can be cleaned up. Also, downgrade the OWNED-BY dependency from INTERNAL to AUTO, since there is no longer any very compelling argument why the sequence couldn't be dropped while keeping the column. (This forces initdb, to be sure the right kinds of dependencies are in there.) Along the way, add checks to prevent ALTER OWNER or SET SCHEMA on an owned sequence; you can now only do this indirectly by changing the owning table's owner or schema. This is an oversight in previous releases, but probably not worth back-patching.
* Add INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE RETURNING, with basic docs and regression tests.Tom Lane2006-08-12
| | | | | | | | plpgsql support to come later. Along the way, convert execMain's SELECT INTO support into a DestReceiver, in order to eliminate some ugly special cases. Jonah Harris and Tom Lane
* 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.
* Aggregate functions now support multiple input arguments. I also tookTom Lane2006-07-27
| | | | | | | | the opportunity to treat COUNT(*) as a zero-argument aggregate instead of the old hack that equated it to COUNT(1); this is materially cleaner (no more weird ANYOID cases) and ought to be at least a tiny bit faster. Original patch by Sergey Koposov; review, documentation, simple regression tests, pg_dump and psql support by moi.

* Code review for FILLFACTOR patch. Change WITH grammar as per earlierTom Lane2006-07-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | discussion (including making def_arg allow reserved words), add missed opt_definition for UNIQUE case. Put the reloptions support code in a less random place (I chose to make a new file access/common/reloptions.c). Eliminate header inclusion creep. Make the index options functions safely user-callable (seems like client apps might like to be able to test validity of options before trying to make an index). Reduce overhead for normal case with no options by allowing rd_options to be NULL. Fix some unmaintainably klugy code, including getting rid of Natts_pg_class_fixed at long last. Some stylistic cleanup too, and pay attention to keeping comments in sync with code. Documentation still needs work, though I did fix the omissions in catalogs.sgml and indexam.sgml.

* 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
* Fix up pg_dump to do string escaping fully correctly for client encodingTom Lane2006-05-28
| | | | | | | | | and standard_conforming_strings; likewise for the other client programs that need it. As per previous discussion, a pg_dump dump now conforms to the standard_conforming_strings setting of the source database. We don't use E'' syntax in the dump, thereby improving portability of the SQL. I added a SET escape_strings_warning = off command to keep the dumps from getting a lot of back-chatter from that.
* Use E'' strings internally only when standard_conforming_strings =Bruce Momjian2006-05-26
| | | | | | | | | 'off'. This allows pg_dump output with standard_conforming_strings = 'on' to generate proper strings that can be loaded into other databases without the backslash doubling we typically do. I have added the dumping of the standard_conforming_strings value to pg_dump. I also added standard backslash handling for plpgsql.
* Improve the representation of FOR UPDATE/FOR SHARE so that we canTom Lane2006-04-30
| | | | | | support both FOR UPDATE and FOR SHARE in one command, as well as both NOWAIT and normal WAIT behavior. The more general code is actually simpler and cleaner.
* Simplify ParamListInfo data structure to support only numbered parameters,Tom Lane2006-04-22
| | | | | | | not named ones, and replace linear searches of the list with array indexing. The named-parameter support has been dead code for many years anyway, and recent profiling suggests that the searching was costing a noticeable amount of performance for complex queries.
* Fix EXPLAIN so that it can drill down through multiple levels of subplanTom Lane2006-04-08
| | | | | | | | | when trying to locate the referent of a RECORD variable. This fixes the 'record type has not been registered' failure reported by Stefan Kaltenbrunner about a month ago. A side effect of the way I chose to fix it is that most variable references in join conditions will now be properly labeled with the variable's source table name, instead of the not-too-helpful 'outer' or 'inner' we used to use.
* Modify all callers of datatype input and receive functions so that if theseTom Lane2006-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | functions are not strict, they will be called (passing a NULL first parameter) during any attempt to input a NULL value of their datatype. Currently, all our input functions are strict and so this commit does not change any behavior. However, this will make it possible to build domain input functions that centralize checking of domain constraints, thereby closing numerous holes in our domain support, as per previous discussion. While at it, I took the opportunity to introduce convenience functions InputFunctionCall, OutputFunctionCall, etc to use in code that calls I/O functions. This eliminates a lot of grotty-looking casts, but the main motivation is to make it easier to grep for these places if we ever need to touch them again.
* Clean up representation of function RTEs for functions returning RECORD.Tom Lane2006-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding stored the raw parser output (ColumnDef and TypeName nodes) which was ugly, bulky, and wrong because it failed to create any dependency on the referenced datatype --- and in fact would not track type renamings and suchlike. Instead store a list of column type OIDs in the RTE. Also fix up general failure of recordDependencyOnExpr to do anything sane about recording dependencies on datatypes. While there are many cases where there will be an indirect dependency (eg if an operator returns a datatype, the dependency on the operator is enough), we do have to record the datatype as a separate dependency in examples like CoerceToDomain. initdb forced because of change of stored rules.
* 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.
* Remove copyright notices from Jan (per author approval), and those filesBruce Momjian2006-03-11
| | | | derived from Jan's.
* Remove the stub support we had for UNION JOIN; per discussion, this isTom Lane2006-03-07
| | | | | | not likely ever to be implemented seeing it's been removed from SQL2003. This allows getting rid of the 'filter' version of yylex() that we had in parser.c, which should save at least a few microseconds in parsing.
* Fix display of whole-row Var appearing at the top level of a SELECT list.Tom Lane2006-01-26
| | | | | | | | While we normally prefer the notation "foo.*" for a whole-row Var, that does not work at SELECT top level, because in that context the parser will assume that what is wanted is to expand the "*" into a list of separate target columns, yielding behavior different from a whole-row Var. We have to emit just "foo" instead in that context. Per report from Sokolov Yura.
* Repair EXPLAIN failure when trying to display a plan condition that involvesTom Lane2005-12-30
| | | | | | selection of a field from the result of a function returning RECORD. I believe this case is new in 8.1; it's due to the addition of OUT parameters. Per example from Michael Fuhr.
* 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.
* Teach deparsing of CASE expressions to cope with the simplified formsTom Lane2005-12-10
| | | | | | that simplify_boolean_equality() may leave behind. This is only relevant if the user writes something a bit silly, like CASE x=y WHEN TRUE THEN. Per example from Michael Fuhr; may or may not explain bug #2106.
* 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.
* Make SQL arrays support null elements. This commit fixes the core arrayTom Lane2005-11-17
| | | | | | | | functionality, but I still need to make another pass looking at places that incidentally use arrays (such as ACL manipulation) to make sure they are null-safe. Contrib needs work too. I have not changed the behaviors that are still under discussion about array comparison and what to do with lower bounds.
* Standard pgindent run for 8.1.Bruce Momjian2005-10-15

* When a function not returning RECORD has a single OUT parameter, useTom Lane2005-10-06
| | | | | | | | the parameter's name (if any) as the default column name for SELECT FROM the function, rather than the function name as previously. I still think this is a bad idea, but I lost the argument. Force decompilation of function RTEs to specify full aliases always, to reduce the odds of this decision breaking dumped views.
* Add NOWAIT option to SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE.Tom Lane2005-08-01
| | | | | Original patch by Hans-Juergen Schoenig, revisions by Karel Zak and Tom Lane.
* Check for out-of-range varoattno in deparse_context_for_subplan.Tom Lane2005-07-15
| | | | | | | I have seen this case in CVS tip due to new "physical tlist" optimization for subqueries. I believe it probably can't happen in existing releases, but the check is not going to hurt anything, so backpatch to 8.0 just in case.
* Add E'' to internally created SQL strings that contain backslashes.Bruce Momjian2005-07-02
| | | | Improve code clarity by using macros for E'' processing.
* Replace pg_shadow and pg_group by new role-capable catalogs pg_authidTom Lane2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should be pretty much done.
* 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.
* Revise handling of dropped columns in JOIN alias lists to avoid aTom Lane2005-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | performance problem pointed out by phil@vodafone: to wit, we were spending O(N^2) time to check dropped-ness in an N-deep join tree, even in the case where the tree was freshly constructed and couldn't possibly mention any dropped columns. Instead of recursing in get_rte_attribute_is_dropped(), change the data structure definition: the joinaliasvars list of a JOIN RTE must have a NULL Const instead of a Var at any position that references a now-dropped column. This costs nothing during normal parse-rewrite-plan path, and instead we have a linear-time update to make when loading a stored rule that might contain now-dropped columns. While at it, move the responsibility for acquring locks on relations referenced by rules into this separate function (which I therefore chose to call AcquireRewriteLocks). This saves effort --- namely, duplicated lock grabs in parser and rewriter --- in the normal path at a cost of one extra non-locked heap_open() in the stored-rule path; seems a good tradeoff. A fringe benefit is that it is now *much* clearer that we acquire lock on relations referenced in rules before we make any rewriter decisions based on their properties. (I don't know of any bug of that ilk, but it wasn't exactly clear before.)
* Teach ruleutils to drill down into RECORD-type Vars in the same wayTom Lane2005-05-31
| | | | | that the parser now can, so that it can reverse-list cases involving FieldSelect from a RECORD Var.
* Fix longstanding oversight in ruleutils.c: it doesn't regurgitateTom Lane2005-05-30
| | | | a FOR UPDATE clause, if one is present.
* Remove second argument from textToQualifiedNameList(), as it is no longerNeil Conway2005-05-27
| | | | used. From Jaime Casanova.
* Change CREATE TYPE to require datatype output and send functions to haveTom Lane2005-05-01
| | | | | | | only one argument. (Per recent discussion, the option to accept multiple arguments is pretty useless for user-defined types, and would be a likely source of security holes if it was used.) Simplify call sites of output/send functions to not bother passing more than one argument.
