2001-01-29Clean up handling of tuple descriptors so that result-tuple descriptorsTom Lane
allocated by plan nodes are not leaked at end of query. This doesn't really matter for normal queries, but it sure does for queries invoked repetitively inside SQL functions. Clean up some other grotty code associated with tupdescs, and fix a few other memory leaks exposed by tests with simple SQL functions.

expression evaluation.
2000-12-27Fix portability problems recently exposed by regression tests on Alphas.Tom Lane
1. Distinguish cases where a Datum representing a tuple datatype is an OID from cases where it is a pointer to TupleTableSlot, and make sure we use the right typlen in each case. 2. Make fetchatt() and related code support 8-byte by-value datatypes on machines where Datum is 8 bytes. Centralize knowledge of the available by-value datatype sizes in two macros in tupmacs.h, so that this will be easier if we ever have to do it again.
2000-11-16Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count isTom Lane
maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
2000-11-12Restructure handling of inheritance queries so that they work with outerTom Lane
joins, and clean things up a good deal at the same time. Append plan node no longer hacks on rangetable at runtime --- instead, all child tables are given their own RT entries during planning. Concept of multiple target tables pushed up into execMain, replacing bug-prone implementation within nodeAppend. Planner now supports generating Append plans for inheritance sets either at the top of the plan (the old way) or at the bottom. Expanding at the bottom is appropriate for tables used as sources, since they may appear inside an outer join; but we must still expand at the top when the target of an UPDATE or DELETE is an inheritance set, because we actually need a different targetlist and junkfilter for each target table in that case. Fortunately a target table can't be inside an outer join... Bizarre mutual recursion between union_planner and prepunion.c is gone --- in fact, union_planner doesn't really have much to do with union queries anymore, so I renamed it grouping_planner.
2000-10-05Add proofreader's changes to docs.Bruce Momjian
Fix misspelling of disbursion to dispersion.
2000-09-12First cut at full support for OUTER JOINs. There are still a few looseTom Lane
ends to clean up (see my message of same date to pghackers), but mostly it works. INITDB REQUIRED!
2000-08-22Fix a many-legged critter reported by chifungfan@yahoo.com: under theTom Lane
right circumstances a hash join executed as a DECLARE CURSOR/FETCH query would crash the backend. Problem as seen in current sources was that the hash tables were stored in a context that was a child of TransactionCommandContext, which got zapped at completion of the FETCH command --- but cursor cleanup executed at COMMIT expected the tables to still be valid. I haven't chased down the details as seen in 7.0.* but I'm sure it's the same general problem.
2000-07-14Cleanup of code for creating index entries. Functional indexes withTom Lane
pass-by-ref data types --- eg, an index on lower(textfield) --- no longer leak memory during index creation or update. Clean up a lot of redundant code ... did you know that copy, vacuum, truncate, reindex, extend index, and bootstrap each basically duplicated the main executor's logic for extracting information about an index and preparing index entries? Functional indexes should be a little faster now too, due to removal of repeated function lookups. CREATE INDEX 'opt_type' clause is deimplemented by these changes, but I haven't removed it from the parser yet (need to merge with Thomas' latest change set first).
2000-07-12First stage of reclaiming memory in executor by resetting short-termTom Lane
memory contexts. Currently, only leaks in expressions executed as quals or projections are handled. Clean up some old dead cruft in executor while at it --- unused fields in state nodes, that sort of thing.
2000-07-05Update textin() and textout() to new fmgr style. This is just phaseTom Lane
one of updating the whole text datatype, but there are so dang many calls of these two routines that it seems worth a separate commit.
2000-06-19Modify index-opening code to guarantee that the indexes of a relationTom Lane
are opened in a consistent order by different backends (I ordered them by index OID because that's easy, but any other consistent order would do as well). This avoids potential deadlock for index types that we acquire exclusive locks on ... ie, rtree.
2000-06-17Fix performance problems with pg_index lookups (see, for example,Tom Lane
discussion of 5/19/00). pg_index is now searched for indexes of a relation using an indexscan. Moreover, this is done once and cached in the relcache entry for the relation, in the form of a list of OIDs for the indexes. This list is used by the parser and executor to drive lookups in the pg_index syscache when they want to know the properties of the indexes. Net result: index information will be fully cached for repetitive operations such as inserts.

2000-05-30Remove unused include files. Do not touch /port or includes used by defines.Bruce Momjian
2000-05-28First round of changes for new fmgr interface. fmgr itself and theTom Lane
key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle. An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions). NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.

2000-01-19Fix handling of NULL constraint conditions: per SQL92 spec, a NULL resultTom Lane
from a constraint condition does not violate the constraint (cf. discussion on pghackers 12/9/99). Implemented by adding a parameter to ExecQual, specifying whether to return TRUE or FALSE when the qual result is really NULL in three-valued boolean logic. Currently, ExecRelCheck is the only caller that asks for TRUE, but if we find any other places that have the wrong response to NULL, it'll be easy to fix them.

1999-11-07New NameStr macro to convert Name to Str. No need for var.data anymore.Bruce Momjian
Fewer calls to nameout. Better use of RelationGetRelationName.
1999-09-18Mega-commit to make heap_open/heap_openr/heap_close take anTom Lane
additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or 'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi. Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the Relation struct layout slightly. Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.

1998-04-27This patch...Bruce Momjian
1. Removes the unnecessary "#define AbcRegProcedure 123"'s from pg_proc.h. 2. Changes those #defines to use the names already defined in fmgr.h. 3. Forces the make of fmgr.h in backend/Makefile instead of having it made as a dependency in access/common/Makefile *hack*hack*hack* 4. Rearranged the #includes to a less helter-skelter arrangement, also changing <file.h> to "file.h" to signify a non-system header. 5. Removed "pg_proc.h" from files where its only purpose was for the #defines removed in item #1. 6. Added "fmgr.h" to each file changed for completeness sake. Turns out that #6 was not necessary for some files because fmgr.h was being included in a roundabout way SIX levels deep by the first include. "access/genam.h" ->"access/relscan.h" ->"utils/rel.h" ->"access/strat.h" ->"access/skey.h" ->"fmgr.h" So adding fmgr.h really didn't add anything to the compile, hopefully just made it clearer to the programmer. S Darren.
