2000-09-06Code cleanup of user name and user id handling in the backend. The currentPeter Eisentraut
user is now defined in terms of the user id, the user name is only computed upon request (for display purposes). This is kind of the opposite of the previous state, which would maintain the user name and compute the user id for permission checks. Besides perhaps saving a few cycles (integer vs string), this now creates a single point of attack for changing the user id during a connection, for purposes of "setuid" functions, etc.
2000-08-31Fix relative path references so that make knowns which dependencies referPeter Eisentraut
to one another. Sort out builddir vs srcdir variable namings. Remove some now obsoleted make variables.
2000-08-24GetAttributeByName and GetAttributeByNum should be declared to returnTom Lane
Datum, not char*, for portability's sake.
2000-08-24SQL-language functions are now callable in ordinary fmgr contexts ...Tom Lane
for example, an SQL function can be used in a functional index. (I make no promises about speed, but it'll work ;-).) Clean up and simplify handling of functions returning sets.
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.
2000-08-21Move pg_checkretval out of the planner (where it never belonged) intoTom Lane
pg_proc.c (where it's actually used). Fix it to correctly handle tlists that contain resjunk target items, and improve error messages. This addresses bug reported by Krupnikov 6-July-00.
2000-08-13Clean up handling of variable-free qual clauses. System now does theTom Lane
right thing with variable-free clauses that contain noncachable functions, such as 'WHERE random() < 0.5' --- these are evaluated once per potential output tuple. Expressions that contain only Params are now candidates to be indexscan quals --- for example, 'var = ($1 + 1)' can now be indexed. Cope with RelabelType nodes atop potential indexscan variables --- this oversight prevents 7.0.* from recognizing some potentially indexscanable situations.
2000-08-08Remove 'func_tlist' from Func expression nodes, likewise 'param_tlist'Tom Lane
from Param nodes, per discussion a few days ago on pghackers. Add new expression node type FieldSelect that implements the functionality where it's actually needed. Clean up some other unused fields in Func nodes as well. NOTE: initdb forced due to change in stored expression trees for rules.
2000-08-06Clean up inefficiency in ExecRelCheck, and cause it to do the rightTom Lane
thing when there are multiple result relations. Formerly, during something like 'UPDATE foo*', foo's constraints and *only* foo's constraints would be applied to all foo's children. Wrong-o ...
2000-08-03Modify heap_open()/heap_openr() API per pghackers discussion of 11 July.Tom Lane
These two routines will now ALWAYS elog() on failure, whether you ask for a lock or not. If you really want to get a NULL return on failure, call the new routines heap_open_nofail()/heap_openr_nofail(). By my count there are only about three places that actually want that behavior. There were rather more than three places that were missing the check they needed to make under the old convention :-(.
2000-07-25ExecRestrPos() really needs to raise ERROR, not a wimpy DEBUG message,Tom Lane
if given a node type it doesn't support. As is, wrong results from a mergejoin would go undetected.
2000-07-23Further cleanup of array behavior. Slice assignments to arrays withTom Lane
varlena elements work now. Allow assignment to previously-nonexistent subscript position to extend array, but only for 1-D arrays and only if adjacent to existing positions (could do more if we had a way to represent nulls in arrays, but I don't want to tackle that now). Arrange for assignment of NULL to an array element in UPDATE to be a no-op, rather than setting the entire array to NULL as it used to. (Throwing an error would be a reasonable alternative, but it's never done that...) Update regress test accordingly.
2000-07-22Arrays are toastable. (At least if you initdb, which I didn't force.)Tom Lane
Remove a bunch of crufty code for large-object-based arrays, which is superseded by TOAST and likely hasn't worked in a long time anyway. Clean up array code a little, and in particular eliminate its habit of scribbling on the input array (ie, modifying the input tuple :-().
2000-07-17Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers.Tom Lane
There's now only one transition value and transition function. NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner. Also, use Numeric accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower. Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend. Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default. Unrelated change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...
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.
2000-07-09Fix bogus DatumGetInt32 coercion.Tom Lane
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.
2000-07-05Changed TOAST relations to have relkind RELKIND_TOASTVALUE.Jan Wieck
Special handling of TOAST relations during VACUUM. TOAST relations are vacuumed while the lock on the master table is still active. The ANALYZE flag doesn't propagate to their vacuuming because the toaster access routines allways use index access ignoring stats, so why compute them at all. Protection of TOAST relations against normal INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE while offering SELECT for debugging purposes. Jan
2000-07-05Automatically create toast tables on ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMNJan Wieck
and SELECT ... INTO ... too. Jan
2000-07-04Make toast-table creation and deletion work somewhat reliably.Tom Lane
Don't go through pg_exec_query_dest(), but directly to the execution routines. Also, extend parameter lists so that there's no need to change the global setting of allowSystemTableMods, a hack that was certain to cause trouble in the event of any error.
2000-06-28First phase of memory management rewrite (see backend/utils/mmgr/READMETom Lane
for details). It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably. A few long- standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single query string crashing. Also, out-of-memory is now considered a recoverable ERROR, not FATAL. Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around memory management. Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and backend startup.
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.
2000-06-18Reimplement nodeMaterial to use a temporary BufFile (or even memory, if theTom Lane
materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation. This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting noname relations. With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it. Also clean up 'noname' plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans, and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.
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.

2000-06-15Clean up #include's.Bruce Momjian
2000-06-13Another batch of fmgr updates. I think I have gotten all old-styleTom Lane
functions that take pass-by-value datatypes. Should be ready for port testing ...
2000-06-10nodeAppend tried to deal with multiple result relations, but apparently it neverTom Lane
really worked. Until now.
2000-06-09Inheritance overhaul by Chris Bitmead <chris@bitmead.com>Bruce Momjian
2000-06-08Mark functions as static and ifdef NOT_USED as appropriate.Bruce Momjian
2000-05-31The heralded `Grand Unified Configuration scheme' (GUC)Peter Eisentraut
That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration, some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste. pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K, -Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q). Added to configure an --enable-syslog option. changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)
2000-05-30Third round of fmgr updates: eliminate calls using fmgr() andTom Lane
fmgr_faddr() in favor of new-style calls. Lots of cleanup of sloppy casts to use XXXGetDatum and DatumGetXXX ...
2000-05-30Remove unused include files. Do not touch /port or includes used by defines.Bruce Momjian
2000-05-29Generated header files parse.h and fmgroids.h are now copied intoTom Lane
the src/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere. Also, clean up some bit rot in contrib tree.
2000-05-29Second round of fmgr changes: triggers are now invoked in new style,Tom Lane
CurrentTriggerData is history.
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.
2000-05-23Fix problem in which sloppily-coded test in ExecInitIndexScan wouldTom Lane
think that both sides of indexqual look like index keys. An example is create table inside (f1 float8 primary key); create table outside (g1 float8, g2 float8); select * from inside,outside where f1 = atan2(g1+1, g2); ERROR: ExecInitIndexScan: both left and right ops are rel-vars (note that failure is potentially platform-dependent). Solution is a cleanup I had had in mind to make anyway: functional index keys should be represented as Var nodes in the fixed indexqual, just like regular index keys.
2000-04-18Correct oversight in hashjoin cost estimation: nodeHash sizes its hashTom Lane
table for an average of NTUP_PER_BUCKET tuples/bucket, but cost_hashjoin was assuming a target load of one tuple/bucket. This was causing a noticeable underestimate of hashjoin costs.

2000-04-07Commebts & one check in EndEvalPlanQual().Vadim B. Mikheev
2000-04-07Fix (I hope) resource leakage in EvalPlanQual: open subplans must beTom Lane
properly shut down in EndPlan, else we fail to free buffers and so forth that they hold.
2000-04-07Partial fix for EvalPlanQual bugs reported by Magnus Hagander, 3-Apr.Tom Lane
Ensure that outer tuple link needed for inner indexscan qual evaluation gets set in the EvalPlanQual case. This stops coredump, but we still have resource leaks due to failure to clean up EvalPlanQual properly...
2000-04-04Fix bug noted by Bruce: FETCH in an already-aborted transaction blockTom Lane
would crash, due to premature invocation of SetQuerySnapshot(). Clean up problems with handling of multiple queries by splitting pg_parse_and_plan into two routines. The old code would not, for example, do the right thing with END; SELECT... submitted in one query string when it had been in transaction abort state, because it'd decide to skip planning the SELECT before it had executed the END. New arrangement is simpler and doesn't force caller to plan if only parse+rewrite is needed.
2000-03-23ExecSubPlan needs to be able to cope with RelabelType nodes atop theTom Lane
Const placeholder nodes for subplan result values.
2000-03-21Correct typo in error message.Tom Lane
2000-03-09Redo permissions-checking code so that it does the right thing at APPENDTom Lane
nodes. The former version failed to check permissions of relations that were referenced in second and later clauses of UNIONs, and it did not check permissions of tables referenced via inheritance.
2000-03-02Hmm, it seems nodeMaterial has been broken for a good long while;Tom Lane
closing a relcache entry more times than you open it is not cool.
2000-02-20Create a new expression node type RelabelType, which exists solely toTom Lane
represent the result of a binary-compatible type coercion. At runtime it just evaluates its argument --- but during type resolution, exprType will pick up the output type of the RelabelType node instead of the type of the argument. This solves some longstanding problems with dropped type coercions, an example being 'select now()::abstime::int4' which used to produce date-formatted output, not an integer, because the coercion to int4 was dropped on the floor.
