2011-07-23Rethink behavior of CREATE OR REPLACE during CREATE EXTENSION.Tom Lane
The original implementation simply did nothing when replacing an existing object during CREATE EXTENSION. The folly of this was exposed by a report from Marc Munro: if the existing object belongs to another extension, we are left in an inconsistent state. We should insist that the object does not belong to another extension, and then add it to the current extension if not already a member.

2011-03-19Revise collation derivation method and expression-tree representation.Tom Lane
All expression nodes now have an explicit output-collation field, unless they are known to only return a noncollatable data type (such as boolean or record). Also, nodes that can invoke collation-aware functions store a separate field that is the collation value to pass to the function. This avoids confusion that arises when a function has collatable inputs and noncollatable output type, or vice versa. Also, replace the parser's on-the-fly collation assignment method with a post-pass over the completed expression tree. This allows us to use a more complex (and hopefully more nearly spec-compliant) assignment rule without paying for it in extra storage in every expression node. Fix assorted bugs in the planner's handling of collations by making collation one of the defining properties of an EquivalenceClass and by converting CollateExprs into discardable RelabelType nodes during expression preprocessing.
2011-03-09Remove collation information from TypeName, where it does not belong.Tom Lane
The initial collations patch treated a COLLATE spec as part of a TypeName, following what can only be described as brain fade on the part of the SQL committee. It's a lot more reasonable to treat COLLATE as a syntactically separate object, so that it can be added in only the productions where it actually belongs, rather than needing to reject it in a boatload of places where it doesn't belong (something the original patch mostly failed to do). In addition this change lets us meet the spec's requirement to allow COLLATE anywhere in the clauses of a ColumnDef, and it avoids unfriendly behavior for constructs such as "foo::type COLLATE collation". To do this, pull collation information out of TypeName and put it in ColumnDef instead, thus reverting most of the collation-related changes in parse_type.c's API. I made one additional structural change, which was to use a ColumnDef as an intermediate node in AT_AlterColumnType AlterTableCmd nodes. This provides enough room to get rid of the "transform" wart in AlterTableCmd too, since the ColumnDef can carry the USING expression easily enough. Also fix some other minor bugs that have crept in in the same areas, like failure to copy recently-added fields of ColumnDef in copyfuncs.c. While at it, document the formerly secret ability to specify a collation in ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN TYPE, ALTER TYPE ADD ATTRIBUTE, and ALTER TYPE ALTER ATTRIBUTE TYPE; and correct some misstatements about what the default collation selection will be when COLLATE is omitted. BTW, the three-parameter form of format_type() should go away too, since it just contributes to the confusion in this area; but I'll do that in a separate patch.
2011-02-08Core support for "extensions", which are packages of SQL objects.Tom Lane
This patch adds the server infrastructure to support extensions. There is still one significant loose end, namely how to make it play nice with pg_upgrade, so I am not yet committing the changes that would make all the contrib modules depend on this feature. In passing, fix a disturbingly large amount of breakage in AlterObjectNamespace() and callers. Dimitri Fontaine, reviewed by Anssi Kääriäinen, Itagaki Takahiro, Tom Lane, and numerous others
2011-02-08Per-column collation supportPeter Eisentraut

2010-11-25Object access hook framework, with post-creation hook.Robert Haas
After a SQL object is created, we provide an opportunity for security or logging plugins to get control; for example, a security label provider could use this to assign an initial security label to newly created objects. The basic infrastructure is (hopefully) reusable for other types of events that might require similar treatment. KaiGai Kohei, with minor adjustments.
2010-11-22Centralize some ALTER <whatever> .. SET SCHEMA checks.Robert Haas
Any flavor of ALTER <whatever> .. SET SCHEMA fails if (1) the object is already in the new schema, (2) either the old or new schema is a temp schema, or (3) either the old or new schema is the TOAST schema. Extraced from a patch by Dimitri Fontaine, with additional hacking by me.
2010-10-25Refactor typenameTypeId()Peter Eisentraut
Split the old typenameTypeId() into two functions: A new typenameTypeId() that returns only a type OID, and typenameTypeIdAndMod() that returns type OID and typmod. This isolates call sites better that actually care about the typmod.
2010-10-21Improve handling of domains over arrays.Tom Lane
This patch eliminates various bizarre behaviors caused by sloppy thinking about the difference between a domain type and its underlying array type. In particular, the operation of updating one element of such an array has to be considered as yielding a value of the underlying array type, *not* a value of the domain, because there's no assurance that the domain's CHECK constraints are still satisfied. If we're intending to store the result back into a domain column, we have to re-cast to the domain type so that constraints are re-checked. For similar reasons, such a domain can't be blindly matched to an ANYARRAY polymorphic parameter, because the polymorphic function is likely to apply array-ish operations that could invalidate the domain constraints. For the moment, we just forbid such matching. We might later wish to insert an automatic downcast to the underlying array type, but such a change should also change matching of domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency. To ensure that all such logic is rechecked, this patch removes the original hack of setting a domain's pg_type.typelem field to match its base type; the typelem will always be zero instead. In those places where it's really okay to look through the domain type with no other logic changes, use the newly added get_base_element_type function in place of get_element_type. catversion bumped due to change in pg_type contents. Per bug #5717 from Richard Huxton and subsequent discussion.

2010-08-05Standardize get_whatever_oid functions for other object types.Robert Haas
- Rename TSParserGetPrsid to get_ts_parser_oid. - Rename TSDictionaryGetDictid to get_ts_dict_oid. - Rename TSTemplateGetTmplid to get_ts_template_oid. - Rename TSConfigGetCfgid to get_ts_config_oid. - Rename FindConversionByName to get_conversion_oid. - Rename GetConstraintName to get_constraint_oid. - Add new functions get_opclass_oid, get_opfamily_oid, get_rewrite_oid, get_rewrite_oid_without_relid, get_trigger_oid, and get_cast_oid. The name of each function matches the corresponding catalog. Thanks to KaiGai Kohei for the review.

2010-02-14Wrap calls to SearchSysCache and related functions using macros.Robert Haas
The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists, GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code shorter, too. Design and review by Tom Lane.
2010-01-26Remove the default_do_language parameter, instead making DO use a hardwiredTom Lane
default of "plpgsql". This is more reasonable than it was when the DO patch was written, because we have since decided that plpgsql should be installed by default. Per discussion, having a parameter for this doesn't seem useful enough to justify the risk of application breakage if the value is changed unexpectedly.

2009-09-22Implement the DO statement to support execution of PL code without havingTom Lane
to create a function for it. Procedural languages now have an additional entry point, namely a function to execute an inline code block. This seemed a better design than trying to hide the transient-ness of the code from the PL. As of this patch, only plpgsql has an inline handler, but probably people will soon write handlers for the other standard PLs. In passing, remove the long-dead LANCOMPILER option of CREATE LANGUAGE.

2009-03-04Add some sanity checks to CREATE CAST ... WITHOUT FUNCTION. DisallowHeikki Linnakangas
composite, enum and array types, as those are surely not binary-compatible with anything else because of the embedded OIDs. Inspired by bug report by Oleg Serov.
2009-02-24Repair a longstanding bug in CLUSTER and the rewriting variants of ALTERTom Lane
TABLE: if the command is executed by someone other than the table owner (eg, a superuser) and the table has a toast table, the toast table's pg_type row ends up with the wrong typowner, ie, the command issuer not the table owner. This is quite harmless for most purposes, since no interesting permissions checks consult the pg_type row. However, it could lead to unexpected failures if one later tries to drop the role that issued the command (in 8.1 or 8.2), or strange warnings from pg_dump afterwards (in 8.3 and up, which will allow the DROP ROLE because we don't create a "redundant" owner dependency for table rowtypes). Problem identified by Cott Lang. Back-patch to 8.1. The problem is actually far older --- the CLUSTER variant can be demonstrated in 7.0 --- but it's mostly cosmetic before 8.1 because we didn't track ownership dependencies before 8.1. Also, fixing it before 8.1 would require changing the call signature of heap_create_with_catalog(), which seems to carry a nontrivial risk of breaking add-on modules.

2008-12-31Add a WINDOW attribute to CREATE FUNCTION, and teach pg_dump about it,Tom Lane
so that user-defined window functions are possible. For the moment you'll have to write them in C, for lack of any interface to the WindowObject API in the available PLs, but it's better than no support at all. There was some debate about the best syntax for this. I ended up choosing the "it's an attribute" position --- the other approach will inevitably be more work, and the likely market for user-defined window functions is probably too small to justify it.

2008-11-02Remove all uses of the deprecated functions heap_formtuple, heap_modifytuple,Tom Lane
and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al (which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary char values). Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions, reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones. We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still contain many instances of the old coding style. Kris Jurka

2008-07-18Implement SQL-spec RETURNS TABLE syntax for functions.Tom Lane
(Unlike the original submission, this patch treats TABLE output parameters as being entirely equivalent to OUT parameters -- tgl) Pavel Stehule
2008-07-16Add a "provariadic" column to pg_proc to eliminate the remarkably expensiveTom Lane
need to deconstruct proargmodes for each pg_proc entry inspected by FuncnameGetCandidates(). Fixes function lookup performance regression caused by yesterday's variadic-functions patch. In passing, make pg_proc.probin be NULL, rather than a dummy value '-', in cases where it is not actually used for the particular type of function. This should buy back some of the space cost of the extra column.
2008-07-16Support "variadic" functions, which can accept a variable number of argumentsTom Lane
so long as all the trailing arguments are of the same (non-array) type. The function receives them as a single array argument (which is why they have to all be the same type). It might be useful to extend this facility to aggregates, but this patch doesn't do that. This patch imposes a noticeable slowdown on function lookup --- a follow-on patch will fix that by adding a redundant column to pg_proc. Pavel Stehule
2008-07-12More replacements of binary compatible to binary coercible.Peter Eisentraut
2008-07-11Allow binary-coercible types for cast function arguments and return types.Peter Eisentraut
Document return type of cast functions. Also change documentation to prefer the term "binary coercible" in its present sense instead of the previous term "binary compatible".
2008-06-19Improve our #include situation by moving pointer types away from theAlvaro Herrera
corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less unnecessary dependencies.
2008-05-12Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing someAlvaro Herrera
unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c files. For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created, initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage. While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more consistent with our header style.
2008-03-27Reduce the need for frontend programs to include "postgres.h" by refactoringTom Lane
inclusions in src/include/catalog/*.h files. The main idea here is to push function declarations for src/backend/catalog/*.c files into separate headers, rather than sticking them into the corresponding catalog definition file as has been done in the past. This commit only carries out that idea fully for pg_proc, pg_type and pg_conversion, but that's enough for the moment --- if pg_list.h ever becomes unsafe for frontend code to include, we'll need to work a bit more. Zdenek Kotala
2008-03-26Move the HTSU_Result enum definition into snapshot.h, to avoid includingAlvaro Herrera
tqual.h into heapam.h. This makes all inclusion of tqual.h explicit. I also sorted alphabetically the includes on some source files.
2008-03-25Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary CTom Lane
strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane

2007-11-11Ensure that typmod decoration on a datatype name is validated in all cases,Tom Lane
even in code paths where we don't pay any subsequent attention to the typmod value. This seems needed in view of the fact that 8.3's generalized typmod support will accept a lot of bogus syntax, such as "timestamp(foo)" or "record(int, 42)" --- if we allow such things to pass without comment, users will get confused. Per a recent example from Greg Stark. To implement this in a way that's not very vulnerable to future bugs-of-omission, refactor the API of parse_type.c's TypeName lookup routines so that typmod validation is folded into the base lookup operation. Callers can still choose not to receive the encoded typmod, but we'll check the decoration anyway if it's present.
2007-09-03Support SET FROM CURRENT in CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, ALTER DATABASE, ALTER ROLE.Tom Lane
(Actually, it works as a plain statement too, but I didn't document that because it seems a bit useless.) Unify VariableResetStmt with VariableSetStmt, and clean up some ancient cruft in the representation of same.
2007-09-03Implement function-local GUC parameter settings, as per recent discussion.Tom Lane
There are still some loose ends: I didn't do anything about the SET FROM CURRENT idea yet, and it's not real clear whether we are happy with the interaction of SET LOCAL with function-local settings. The documentation is a bit spartan, too.
2007-04-02Support enum data types. Along the way, use macros for the values ofTom Lane
pg_type.typtype whereever practical. Tom Dunstan, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.
2007-01-22Add COST and ROWS options to CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, plus underlying pg_procTom Lane
columns procost and prorows, to allow simple user adjustment of the estimated cost of a function call, as well as control of the estimated number of rows returned by a set-returning function. We might eventually wish to extend this to allow function-specific estimation routines, but there seems to be consensus that we should try a simple constant estimate first. In particular this provides a relatively simple way to control the order in which different WHERE clauses are applied in a plan node, which is a Good Thing in view of the fact that the recent EquivalenceClass planner rewrite made that much less predictable than before.
