1999-09-28Recommend postmaster stop/start for pg_upgrade.Bruce Momjian
1999-09-28 I have been working with user defined types and user defined cBruce Momjian
functions. One problem that I have encountered with the function manager is that it does not allow the user to define type conversion functions that convert between user types. For instance if mytype1, mytype2, and mytype3 are three Postgresql user types, and if I wish to define Postgresql conversion functions like I run into problems, because the Postgresql dynamic loader would look for a single link symbol, mytype3, for both pieces of object code. If I just change the name of one of the Postgresql functions (to make the symbols distinct), the automatic type conversion that Postgresql uses, for example, when matching operators to arguments no longer finds the type conversion function. The solution that I propose, and have implemented in the attatched patch extends the CREATE FUNCTION syntax as follows. In the first case above I use the link symbol mytype2_to_mytype3 for the link object that implements the first conversion function, and define the Postgresql operator with the following syntax The patch includes changes to the parser to include the altered syntax, changes to the ProcedureStmt node in nodes/parsenodes.h, changes to commands/define.c to handle the extra information in the AS clause, and changes to utils/fmgr/dfmgr.c that alter the way that the dynamic loader figures out what link symbol to use. I store the string for the link symbol in the prosrc text attribute of the pg_proc table which is currently unused in rows that reference dynamically loaded functions. Bernie Frankpitt

1999-08-22Further planner/optimizer cleanups. Move all set_tlist_referencesTom Lane
and fix_opids processing to a single recursive pass over the plan tree executed at the very tail end of planning, rather than haphazardly here and there at different places. Now that tlist Vars do not get modified until the very end, it's possible to get rid of the klugy var_equal and match_varid partial-matching routines, and just use plain equal() throughout the optimizer. This is a step towards allowing merge and hash joins to be done on expressions instead of only Vars ...
