2002-11-11Fixes bug where join to pg_description was incorrect. Also modifies theBarry Lind
regression test to test for this case. Patch submitted by Kris Jurka. Modified Files: jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc1/AbstractJdbc1DatabaseMetaData.java jdbc/org/postgresql/test/jdbc2/DatabaseMetaDataTest.java

2002-11-10I am attaching a patch file that will replace the previous one. It onlyBruce Momjian
contains the patches to Makefile.global.in and Makefile.unixware. The Makefile.unixware patch has been updated to include the contents of LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if present, to the -rpath (-R) option. This change will simplify configuring and building PostgreSQL on systems that support LD_LIBRARY_PATH. You can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include all the directorys you want to have searched for additional libraries, run configure, then run make. The paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH will then be embedded in the executables via the -rpath (-R) option to the linker, and so will not require LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to run. Billy G. Allie
2002-11-10This patch makes a minor cleanup to the implementation of PERFORM inBruce Momjian
PL/PgSQL. Previously, it had been bundled together with the assign statement implementation, for some reason that wasn't clear to me (they certainly don't share any code with one another). So I separated them and made PERFORM a statement like any other. No changes in functionality. Along the way, I added some regression tests for PERFORM, added a bunch more SGML tags to the PL/PgSQL docs, and removed an obsolete comment relating to the implementation of RETURN NEXT. Neil Conway

2002-11-08Update discussion of floating-point problems in regression tests.Tom Lane
2002-11-08This patch removes a bunch of superfluous #include directives: ifBruce Momjian
postgres.h or c.h includes a system header (such as stdio.h or stdlib.h), there's no need to specifically include it in any of the .c files in the backend. Neil Conway
2002-11-08Clean up format of SQL.Bruce Momjian
2002-11-08The attached patch defines functions for getting distances betweenBruce Momjian
points on the surface of the earth and locating points within a specified distance using an index based on the contrib/cube package. The new functions are all of language type sql. A couple of bugs in the old earthdistance function based on the point datatype are fixed. A regression test has been added for both sets of functions. The README file has been updated to include documentation on the new stuff. There are comments about how this package is also useful for Astronomers. Bruno Wolff III
2002-11-08Revise geometry regression testing to eliminate most cross-platformTom Lane
variation. To do this, set extra_float_digits to -3 in the geometry test, and tweak the CIRCLE_TBL dataset to avoid values that suffer from severe cancellation error (eg, circles that just touch an axis). We still need two geometry 'expected' files to account for the difference between platforms that display minus zero as '-0' and those that just say '0', but with luck that's all we'll need.
2002-11-08Here is a patch that does just that, while maintaining theBruce Momjian
"traditional" behavior, so the change should be transparent. Use the command "\pset pager always" to turn it on. Anything else does the normal toggle between "on" and "off" Greg Sabino Mullane
2002-11-08Replace imprecise value of PI with a better one, and tweak circle_polyTom Lane
in hopes of reducing platform-to-platform variations in its results. This will cause the geometry regression test to start failing on some platforms. I plan to update the test later today.

> * -Add GUC variables to control floating number output digits
2002-11-08Add extra_float_digits GUC parameter to allow adjustment of displayedTom Lane
precision for float4, float8, and geometric types. Set it in pg_dump so that float data can be dumped/reloaded exactly (at least on platforms where the float I/O support is properly implemented). Initial patch by Pedro Ferreira, some additional work by Tom Lane.
2002-11-08The "Allow easy display of usernames in a group (pg_hba.conf uses groupsBruce Momjian
now)" item on the open items, and subsequent plpgsql function I sent in, made me realize it was too hard to get the upper and lower bound of an array. The attached creates two functions that I think will be very useful when combined with the ability of plpgsql to return sets. array_lower(array, dim_num) - and - array_upper(array, dim_num) They return the value (as an int) of the upper and lower bound of the requested dim in the provided array.

2002-11-08Update libpq PQcmdTuples() and PQcmdStatus() docs, remove const paramBruce Momjian
doc mention to match code and include files.
2002-11-08I'm using libpgtcl with PostgreSQL-7.2.3. There is a discrepancy betweenBruce Momjian
the documentation and behavior of "pg_result $res -oid" when $res is not from an INSERT. The documentation says it should return an empty string, but in fact it returns 0. I think it used to return an empty string around PostgreSQL-7.1.3 when PQoidStatus() was used, but now it uses PQoidValue() which returns InvalidOid, 0 in this case. Assuming the current behavior is desired, here is a patch to the documentation doc/src/sgml/libpgtcl.sgml to match what really happens: ljb

2002-11-07Add #define _GNU_SOURCE to work around what seems to be Perl 5.8.0'sTom Lane
problem. Per recent discussions about plperl failing to build on Linux.
2002-11-07Move substitute extern declarations to end of file, so that they areTom Lane
not read until after we've read the port-specific header file. In particular this should make it safer to #include system headers for inet_aton; in general it seems that the port header file ought to be in a position to set definitions before we do stuff based on having a definition or not.

2002-11-06First phase of implementing hash-based grouping/aggregation. An AGG planTom Lane
node now does its own grouping of the input rows, and has no need for a preceding GROUP node in the plan pipeline. This allows elimination of the misnamed tuplePerGroup option for GROUP, and actually saves more code in nodeGroup.c than it costs in nodeAgg.c, as well as being presumably faster. Restructure the API of query_planner so that we do not commit to using a sorted or unsorted plan in query_planner; instead grouping_planner makes the decision. (Right now it isn't any smarter than query_planner was, but that will change as soon as it has the option to select a hash- based aggregation step.) Despite all the hackery, no initdb needed since only in-memory node types changed.
