2003-08-01Adjust 'permission denied' messages to be more useful and consistent.Tom Lane
2003-07-30Cause ARRAY[] construct to return a NULL array, rather than raising anTom Lane
error, if any input element is NULL. This is not what we ultimately want, but until arrays can have NULL elements, it will have to do. Patch from Joe Conway.

2003-07-01Aggregates can be polymorphic, using polymorphic implementation functions.Tom Lane
It also works to create a non-polymorphic aggregate from polymorphic functions, should you want to do that. Regression test added, docs still lacking. By Joe Conway, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.
2003-07-01SQL functions can have arguments and results declared ANYARRAY orTom Lane
ANYELEMENT. The effect is to postpone typechecking of the function body until runtime. Documentation is still lacking. Original patch by Joe Conway, modified to postpone type checking by Tom Lane.
2003-06-29Support expressions of the form 'scalar op ANY (array)' andTom Lane
'scalar op ALL (array)', where the operator is applied between the lefthand scalar and each element of the array. The operator must yield boolean; the result of the construct is the OR or AND of the per-element results, respectively. Original coding by Joe Conway, after an idea of Peter's. Rewritten by Tom to keep the implementation strictly separate from subqueries.
2003-06-27Create real array comparison functions (that use the element datatype'sTom Lane
comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq. Create a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes on array columns. Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call. Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions. Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become supported functions. Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or zero-dimensional arrays. Joe Conway (with some editorializing by Tom Lane).

2003-06-22Revise hash join and hash aggregation code to use the same datatype-Tom Lane
specific hash functions used by hash indexes, rather than the old not-datatype-aware ComputeHashFunc routine. This makes it safe to do hash joining on several datatypes that previously couldn't use hashing. The sets of datatypes that are hash indexable and hash joinable are now exactly the same, whereas before each had some that weren't in the other.
2003-06-15Replace cryptic 'Unknown kind of return type' messages with somethingTom Lane
hopefully a little more useful.
2003-06-12Fix SQL function executor for case where last command of a function isTom Lane
not a SELECT. We didn't use to allow that, but we do now.
2003-06-06Implement outer-level aggregates to conform to the SQL spec, withTom Lane
extensions to support our historical behavior. An aggregate belongs to the closest query level of any of the variables in its argument, or the current query level if there are no variables (e.g., COUNT(*)). The implementation involves adding an agglevelsup field to Aggref, and treating outer aggregates like outer variables at planning time.
2003-05-30Small performance improvement for hash joins and hash aggregation:Tom Lane
when the plan is ReScanned, we don't have to rebuild the hash table if there is no parameter change for its child node. This idea has been used for a long time in Sort and Material nodes, but was not in the hash code till now.
2003-05-28Fix some planner performance problems with large WHERE clauses, byTom Lane
introducing new 'FastList' list-construction subroutines to use in hot spots. This avoids the O(N^2) behavior of repeated lappend's by keeping a tail pointer, while not changing behavior by reversing list order as the lcons() method would do.
2003-05-28Replace functional-index facility with expressional indexes. Any columnTom Lane
of an index can now be a computed expression instead of a simple variable. Restrictions on expressions are the same as for predicates (only immutable functions, no sub-selects). This fixes problems recently introduced with inlining SQL functions, because the inlining transformation is applied to both expression trees so the planner can still match them up. Along the way, improve efficiency of handling index predicates (both predicates and index expressions are now cached by the relcache) and fix 7.3 oversight that didn't record dependencies of predicate expressions.
2003-05-27Make debug_ GUC varables output DEBUG1 rather than LOG, and mention inBruce Momjian
docs that CLIENT/LOG_MIN_MESSAGES now controls debug_* output location. Doc changes included.
2003-05-09Implement new-protocol binary I/O support in DataRow, Bind, and FunctionCallTom Lane
messages. Binary I/O is now up and working, but only for a small set of datatypes (integers, text, bytea).
2003-05-08Update 3.0 protocol support to match recent agreements about how toTom Lane
handle multiple 'formats' for data I/O. Restructure CommandDest and DestReceiver stuff one more time (it's finally starting to look a bit clean though). Code now matches latest 3.0 protocol document as far as message formats go --- but there is no support for binary I/O yet.
2003-05-06Restructure command destination handling so that we pass aroundTom Lane
DestReceiver pointers instead of just CommandDest values. The DestReceiver is made at the point where the destination is selected, rather than deep inside the executor. This cleans up the original kluge implementation of tstoreReceiver.c, and makes it easy to support retrieving results from utility statements inside portals. Thus, you can now do fun things like Bind and Execute a FETCH or EXPLAIN command, and it'll all work as expected (e.g., you can Describe the portal, or use Execute's count parameter to suspend the output partway through). Implementation involves stuffing the utility command's output into a Tuplestore, which would be kind of annoying for huge output sets, but should be quite acceptable for typical uses of utility commands.
2003-05-06Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifiesTom Lane
the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms. Turns out that representation was not convenient for either the planner or the executor; we can make the planner deliver exactly what the executor wants with no more effort. initdb forced due to change in stored rule representation.
2003-05-05Ditch ExecGetTupType() in favor of the much simpler ExecGetResultType(),Tom Lane
which does the same thing. Perhaps at one time there was a reason to allow plan nodes to store their result types in different places, but AFAICT that's been unnecessary for a good while.
2003-05-02Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.Tom Lane
Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c, so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries. initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.
2003-04-29Infrastructure for deducing Param types from context, in the same wayTom Lane
that the types of untyped string-literal constants are deduced (ie, when coerce_type is applied to 'em, that's what the type must be). Remove the ancient hack of storing the input Param-types array as a global variable, and put the info into ParseState instead. This touches a lot of files because of adjustment of routine parameter lists, but it's really not a large patch. Note: PREPARE statement still insists on exact specification of parameter types, but that could easily be relaxed now, if we wanted to do so.
2003-04-29Code review for holdable-cursors patch. Fix error recovery, memoryTom Lane
context sloppiness, some other things. Includes Neil's mopup patch of 22-Apr.
2003-04-27Put back encoding-conversion step in processing of incoming queries;Tom Lane
I had inadvertently omitted it while rearranging things to support length-counted incoming messages. Also, change the parser's API back to accepting a 'char *' query string instead of 'StringInfo', as the latter wasn't buying us anything except overhead. (I think when I put it in I had some notion of making the parser API 8-bit-clean, but seeing that flex depends on null-terminated input, that's not really ever gonna happen.)
2003-04-24Infrastructure for upgraded error reporting mechanism. elog.c isTom Lane
rewritten and the protocol is changed, but most elog calls are still elog calls. Also, we need to contemplate mechanisms for controlling all this functionality --- eg, how much stuff should appear in the postmaster log? And what API should libpq expose for it?
2003-04-08First phase of work on array improvements. ARRAY[x,y,z] constructorTom Lane
expressions, ARRAY(sub-SELECT) expressions, some array functions. Polymorphic functions using ANYARRAY/ANYELEMENT argument and return types. Some regression tests in place, documentation is lacking. Joe Conway, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.
2003-03-27Add new files.Bruce Momjian
2003-03-27This patch implements holdable cursors, following the proposalBruce Momjian
(materialization into a tuple store) discussed on pgsql-hackers earlier. I've updated the documentation and the regression tests. Notes on the implementation: - I needed to change the tuple store API slightly -- it assumes that it won't be used to hold data across transaction boundaries, so the temp files that it uses for on-disk storage are automatically reclaimed at end-of-transaction. I added a flag to tuplestore_begin_heap() to control this behavior. Is changing the tuple store API in this fashion OK? - in order to store executor results in a tuple store, I added a new CommandDest. This works well for the most part, with one exception: the current DestFunction API doesn't provide enough information to allow the Executor to store results into an arbitrary tuple store (where the particular tuple store to use is chosen by the call site of ExecutorRun). To workaround this, I've temporarily hacked up a solution that works, but is not ideal: since the receiveTuple DestFunction is passed the portal name, we can use that to lookup the Portal data structure for the cursor and then use that to get at the tuple store the Portal is using. This unnecessarily ties the Portal code with the tupleReceiver code, but it works... The proper fix for this is probably to change the DestFunction API -- Tom suggested passing the full QueryDesc to the receiveTuple function. In that case, callers of ExecutorRun could "subclass" QueryDesc to add any additional fields that their particular CommandDest needed to get access to. This approach would work, but I'd like to think about it for a little bit longer before deciding which route to go. In the mean time, the code works fine, so I don't think a fix is urgent. - (semi-related) I added a NO SCROLL keyword to DECLARE CURSOR, and adjusted the behavior of SCROLL in accordance with the discussion on -hackers. - (unrelated) Cleaned up some SGML markup in sql.sgml, copy.sgml Neil Conway
2003-03-27GetTupleForTrigger must use outer transaction's command counter for timeTom Lane
qual checking, not GetCurrentCommandId. Per test case from Steve Wolfe.

2003-03-11Implement SQL92-compatible FIRST, LAST, ABSOLUTE n, RELATIVE n optionsTom Lane
for FETCH and MOVE.
2003-03-10Restructure parsetree representation of DECLARE CURSOR: now it's aTom Lane
utility statement (DeclareCursorStmt) with a SELECT query dangling from it, rather than a SELECT query with a few unusual fields in it. Add code to determine whether a planned query can safely be run backwards. If DECLARE CURSOR specifies SCROLL, ensure that the plan can be run backwards by adding a Materialize plan node if it can't. Without SCROLL, you get an error if you try to fetch backwards from a cursor that can't handle it. (There is still some discussion about what the exact behavior should be, but this is necessary infrastructure in any case.) Along the way, make EXPLAIN DECLARE CURSOR work.
2003-03-09Revise tuplestore and nodeMaterial so that we don't have to read theTom Lane
entire contents of the subplan into the tuplestore before we can return any tuples. Instead, the tuplestore holds what we've already read, and we fetch additional rows from the subplan as needed. Random access to the previously-read rows works with the tuplestore, and doesn't affect the state of the partially-read subplan. This is a step towards fixing the problems with cursors over complex queries --- we don't want to stick in Materialize nodes if they'll prevent quick startup for a cursor.
2003-02-16COALESCE() and NULLIF() are now first-class expressions, not macrosTom Lane
that turn into CASE expressions. They evaluate their arguments at most once. Patch by Kris Jurka, review and (very light) editorializing by me.
2003-02-14Fix SPI result logic for case where there are multiple statements of theTom Lane
same type in a rule. Per bug report from Pavel Hanak.
2003-02-09Create a distinction between Lists of integers and Lists of OIDs, to getTom Lane
rid of the assumption that sizeof(Oid)==sizeof(int). This is one small step towards someday supporting 8-byte OIDs. For the moment, it doesn't do much except get rid of a lot of unsightly casts.
2003-02-09Make further use of new bitmapset code: executor's chgParam, extParam,Tom Lane
locParam lists can be converted to bitmapsets to speed updating. Also, replace 'locParam' with 'allParam', which contains all the paramIDs relevant to the node (i.e., the union of extParam and locParam); this saves a step during SetChangedParamList() without costing anything elsewhere.
2003-02-04Detect duplicate aggregate calls and evaluate only one copy. ThisTom Lane
speeds up some useful real-world cases like SELECT x, COUNT(*) FROM t GROUP BY x HAVING COUNT(*) > 100.
2003-02-03Determine the set of constraints applied to a domain at executorTom Lane
startup, not in the parser; this allows ALTER DOMAIN to work correctly with domain constraint operations stored in rules. Rod Taylor; code review by Tom Lane.
2003-02-03Tweak planner and executor to avoid doing ExecProject() in table scanTom Lane
nodes where it's not really necessary. In many cases where the scan node is not the topmost plan node (eg, joins, aggregation), it's possible to just return the table tuple directly instead of generating an intermediate projection tuple. In preliminary testing, this reduced the CPU time needed for 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM foo' by about 10%.
2003-02-02Fix nodeUnique to behave correctly when reversing direction after reachingTom Lane
either end of subplan results. This prevents misbehavior of cursors on SELECT DISTINCT ... queries. Per bug report 1-Feb-02.
2003-01-29SPI_exec shouldn't return SPI_OK_SELECT if it hasn't actually returnedTom Lane
a tuple table. Fixes core dump in pltcl (and probably other PLs) when executing a query rewritten by a rule. Per bug report from Wolfgang Walter.
