2005-08-26Back-patch fixes for problems with VACUUM destroying t_ctid chains too soon,Tom Lane
and with insufficient paranoia in code that follows t_ctid links. This patch covers the 7.3 branch.
2005-01-27Check that aggregate creator has the right to execute the transitionTom Lane
functions of the aggregate, at both aggregate creation and execution times.
2004-10-13Fix breakage in hashjoin from recent backpatch of left-join bug fix.Tom Lane
(That's what I get for not testing the back branches *before* committing.)
2004-09-17Hashed LEFT JOIN would miss outer tuples with no inner match if the joinTom Lane
was large enough to be batched and the tuples fell into a batch where there were no inner tuples at all. Thanks to Xiaoyu Wang for finding a test case that exposed this long-standing bug.
2003-09-23_SPI_cursor_operation forgot to check for failure return fromTom Lane
_SPI_begin_call. Per gripe from Tomasz Myrta.
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.
2003-03-27GetTupleForTrigger must use outer transaction's command counter for timeTom Lane
qual checking, not GetCurrentCommandId. Per test case from Steve Wolfe.
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.
2003-02-02Fix 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.
2003-01-23Change CREATE TABLE AS / SELECT INTO to create the new table with OIDs,Tom Lane
for backwards compatibility with pre-7.3 behavior. Per discussion on pgsql-general and pgsql-hackers.
2003-01-21Fix coredump problem in plpgsql's RETURN NEXT. When a SELECT INTOTom Lane
that's selecting into a RECORD variable returns zero rows, make it assign an all-nulls row to the RECORD; this is consistent with what happens when the SELECT INTO target is not a RECORD. In support of this, tweak the SPI code so that a valid tuple descriptor is returned even when a SPI select returns no rows.
2002-12-29Adjust hash table sizing algorithm to avoid integer overflow inTom Lane
ExecHashJoinGetBatch(). Fixes core dump on large hash joins, as in example from Rae Stiening.
2002-11-02Clean up a few fprintf(stderr)'s that should be elog's.Tom Lane
2002-11-01Reduce a couple of debugging messages from LOG to DEBUG1 category.Tom Lane
2002-10-14Make SPI's execution of querystrings follow the rules agreed to forTom Lane
command status at the interactive level. SPI_processed, etc are set in the same way as the returned command status would have been set if the same querystring were issued interactively. Per gripe from Michael Paesold 25-Sep-02.
2002-10-14Arrange to copy relcache's trigdesc structure at the start of anyTom Lane
query that uses it. This ensures that triggers will be applied consistently throughout a query even if someone commits changes to the relation's pg_class.reltriggers field meanwhile. Per crash report from Laurette Cisneros. While at it, simplify memory management in relcache.c, which no longer needs the old hack to try to keep trigger info in the same place over a relcache entry rebuild. (Should try to fix rd_att and rewrite-rule access similarly, someday.) And make RelationBuildTriggers simpler and more robust by making it build the trigdesc in working memory and then CopyTriggerDesc() into cache memory.
2002-10-04Tweak a few of the most heavily used function call points to zero outTom Lane
just the significant fields of FunctionCallInfoData, rather than MemSet'ing the whole struct to zero. Unused positions in the arg[] array will thereby contain garbage rather than zeroes. This buys back some of the performance hit from increasing FUNC_MAX_ARGS. Also tweak tuplesort.c code for more speed by marking some routines 'inline'. All together these changes speed up simple sorts, like count(distinct int4column), by about 25% on a P4 running RH Linux 7.2.
2002-09-28Make the world at least somewhat safe for zero-column tables, andTom Lane
remove the special case in ALTER DROP COLUMN to prohibit dropping a table's last column.
2002-09-23Further thinking about heap_mark4update: in HeapTupleSelfUpdated case,Tom Lane
executor should not return the tuple as successfully marked, because in fact it's been deleted. Not clear that this case has ever been seen in practice (I think you'd have to write a SELECT FOR UPDATE that calls a function that deletes some row the SELECT will visit later...) but we should be consistent. Also add comments to several other places that got it right but didn't explain what they were doing.
2002-09-18Extend pg_cast castimplicit column to a three-way value; this allows usTom Lane
to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in operator/function resolution. Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8). Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or numeric (never float8 anymore). Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics. Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3. This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation). Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements; it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example. Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types). Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8. initdb forced.
2002-09-04pgindent run.Bruce Momjian
2002-09-02Remove sys/types.h in files that include postgres.h, and hence c.h,Bruce Momjian
because c.h has sys/types.h.
2002-09-02Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headersTom Lane
(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
2002-08-31Code review for domain-constraints patch. Use a new ConstraintTest nodeTom Lane
type for runtime constraint checks, instead of misusing the parse-time Constraint node for the purpose. Fix some damage introduced into type coercion logic; in particular ensure that a coerced expression tree will read out the correct result type when inspected (patch had broken some RelabelType cases). Enforce domain NOT NULL constraints against columns that are omitted from an INSERT.
2002-08-31Wups, didn't mean to commit that just yet.Tom Lane
2002-08-31The UNDEFOID later causes an assertion failure in heap_formtuple whenTom Lane
you try to use the tupdesc to build a tuple. Joe Conway
2002-08-30Add expected tuple descriptor to ReturnSetInfo information for tableTom Lane
functions, per suggestion from John Gray and Joe Conway. Also, fix plpgsql RETURN NEXT to verify that returned values match the expected tupdesc.
2002-08-30PL/pgSQL functions can return sets. Neil Conway's patch, modified soTom Lane
that the functionality is available to anyone via ReturnSetInfo, rather than hard-wiring it to PL/pgSQL.
2002-08-29Adjust nodeFunctionscan.c to reset transient memory context between callsTom Lane
to the table function, thus preventing memory leakage accumulation across calls. This means that SRFs need to be careful to distinguish permanent and local storage; adjust code and documentation accordingly. Patch by Joe Conway, very minor tweaks by Tom Lane.
2002-08-29Code review for standalone composite types, query-specified compositeTom Lane
types, SRFs. Not happy with memory management yet, but I'll commit these other changes.
2002-08-28backend where a statically sized buffer is written to. Most of theseBruce Momjian
should be pretty safe in practice, but it's probably better to be safe than sorry. I was actually looking for cases where NAMEDATALEN is assumed to be 32, but only found one. That's fixed too, as well as a few bits of code cleanup. Neil Conway
2002-08-26Modify array operations to include array's element type OID in theTom Lane
array header, and to compute sizing and alignment of array elements the same way normal tuple access operations do --- viz, using the tupmacs.h macros att_addlength and att_align. This makes the world safe for arrays of cstrings or intervals, and should make it much easier to write array-type-polymorphic functions; as examples see the cleanups of array_out and contrib/array_iterator. By Joe Conway and Tom Lane.
2002-08-24The cstring datatype can now be copied, passed around, etc. The typlenTom Lane
value '-2' is used to indicate a variable-width type whose width is computed as strlen(datum)+1. Everything that looks at typlen is updated except for array support, which Joe Conway is working on; at the moment it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.
2002-08-23Further cleanup around the edges of OPAQUE/pseudotype changes. CorrectTom Lane
the declarations of some index access method support functions. Support SQL functions returning VOID.

A simple change, but > it passeth patch's understanding ... Thanks. Attached is a patch against cvs tip as of 8:30 PM PST or so. Turned out that even after fixing the failed hunks, there was a new spot in bufmgr.c which needed to be fixed (related to temp relations; RelationUpdateNumberOfBlocks). But thankfully the regression test code caught it :-) Joe Conway
2002-08-07Fix permission checking for temp-table namespace.Tom Lane
2002-08-06Restructure local-buffer handling per recent pghackers discussion.Tom Lane
The local buffer manager is no longer used for newly-created relations (unless they are TEMP); a new non-TEMP relation goes through the shared bufmgr and thus will participate normally in checkpoints. But TEMP relations use the local buffer manager throughout their lifespan. Also, operations in TEMP relations are not logged in WAL, thus improving performance. Since it's no longer necessary to fsync relations as they move out of the local buffers into shared buffers, quite a lot of smgr.c/md.c/fd.c code is no longer needed and has been removed: there's no concept of a dirty relation anymore in md.c/fd.c, and we never fsync anything but WAL. Still TODO: improve local buffer management algorithms so that it would be reasonable to increase NLocBuffer.
2002-08-05Preliminary code review for anonymous-composite-types patch: fix breakageTom Lane
of functions returning domain types, update documentation for typtype, move get_typtype to lsyscache.c (actually, resurrect the old version), add defense against creating pseudo-typed table columns, fix some bogus list-parsing in grammar. Issues remain with respect to alias handling and type checking; Joe is on those.
2002-08-04Attached are two patches to implement and document anonymous compositeBruce Momjian
types for Table Functions, as previously proposed on HACKERS. Here is a brief explanation: 1. Creates a new pg_type typtype: 'p' for pseudo type (currently either 'b' for base or 'c' for catalog, i.e. a class). 2. Creates new builtin type of typtype='p' named RECORD. This is the first of potentially several pseudo types. 3. Modify FROM clause grammer to accept: SELECT * FROM my_func() AS m(colname1 type1, colname2 type1, ...) where m is the table alias, colname1, etc are the column names, and type1, etc are the column types. 4. When typtype == 'p' and the function return type is RECORD, a list of column defs is required, and when typtype != 'p', it is disallowed. 5. A check was added to ensure that the tupdesc provide via the parser and the actual return tupdesc match in number and type of attributes. When creating a function you can do: CREATE FUNCTION foo(text) RETURNS setof RECORD ... When using it you can do: SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS (f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) or SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) or SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) Included in the patches are adjustments to the regression test sql and expected files, and documentation. p.s. This potentially solves (or at least improves) the issue of builtin Table Functions. They can be bootstrapped as returning RECORD, and we can wrap system views around them with properly specified column defs. For example: CREATE VIEW pg_settings AS SELECT s.name, s.setting FROM show_all_settings()AS s(name text, setting text); Then we can also add the UPDATE RULE that I previously posted to pg_settings, and have pg_settings act like a virtual table, allowing settings to be queried and set.

The July 9th Table Function API patch mentioned above is now in CVS, so here is an updated version of the guc patch which should apply cleanly against CVS tip. Joe Conway
2002-07-20oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian
bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar
2002-07-18Back out BETWEEN node patch, was causing initdb failure.Bruce Momjian
2002-07-18Finished the Between patch Christopher started.Bruce Momjian
Implements between (symmetric / asymmetric) as a node. Executes the left or right expression once, makes a Const out of the resulting Datum and executes the >=, <= portions out of the Const sets. Of course, the parser does a fair amount of preparatory work for this to happen. Rod Taylor
2002-07-18Here is a patch for the Table Function API. It fixes a bug found by NeilBruce Momjian
Conway (BuildTupleFromCStrings sets NULL for pass-by-value types when intended value is 0). It also implements some other improvements suggested by Neil. Joe Conway

2002-07-06I've fixed up the way domain constraints (not null and type length)Bruce Momjian
