1. If there is exactly one pg_operator entry of the right name and oprkind,
oper() and related routines would return that entry whether its input type
had anything to do with the request or not. This is just premature
optimization: we shouldn't return the single candidate until after we verify
that it really is a valid candidate, ie, is at least coercion-compatible
with the given types.
2. oper() and related routines only promise a coercion-compatible result.
Unfortunately, there were quite a few callers that assumed the returned
operator is binary-compatible with the given datatype; they would proceed
to call it without making any datatype coercions. These callers include
sorting, grouping, aggregation, and VACUUM ANALYZE. In general I think
it is appropriate for these callers to require an exact or binary-compatible
match, so I've added a new routine compatible_oper() that only succeeds if
it can find an operator that doesn't require any run-time conversions.
Callers now call oper() or compatible_oper() depending on whether they are
prepared to deal with type conversion or not.
The upshot of these bugs is revealed by the following silliness in PL/Tcl's
selftest: it creates an operator @< on int4, and then tries to use it to
sort a char(N) column. The system would let it do that :-( (and evidently
has done so since 6.3 :-( :-(). The result in this case was just a silly
sort order, but the reverse combination would've provoked coredump from
trying to dereference integers. With this fix you get more reasonable
behavior:
pltcl_test=# select * from T_pkey1 order by key1, key2 using @<;
ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '@<' for types 'bpchar' and 'bpchar'
You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast

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.

with an interrupt that might happen anywhere. See pghackers discussion

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.

output first outer tuple before advancing...

CTID from one of the input relations is entirely expected. We still
want to lock the input rows from the other relations, so just ignore
the null and keep going.

the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See

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.

and improperly prevented the main result rel from being closed if it
wasn't one of the Append's own result rels. Per report from Hiroshi.
|
|
(WAL logging for this is not done yet, however.) Clean up a number of really
crufty things that are no longer needed now that DROP behaves nicely. Make
temp table mapper do the right things when drop or rename affecting a temp
table is rolled back. Also, remove "relation modified while in use" error
check, in favor of locking tables at first reference and holding that lock
throughout the statement.

the grammar did not allow redundant parentheses around sub-selects.
Distinguish LIMIT ALL from LIMIT 0; make the latter behave as one would
expect.
|
|
ExecutorRun. This allows LIMIT to work in a view. Also, LIMIT in a
cursor declaration will behave in a reasonable fashion, whereas before
it was overridden by the FETCH count.

Fix misspelling of disbursion to dispersion.

SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used
in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too.
This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT
where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did
that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like
subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the
datatype conversions can be inserted safely.
INITDB NEEDED!
|
|
(Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding
to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually
work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views
yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking
moved out of rewriter and into executor.
INITDB REQUIRED!

ends to clean up (see my message of same date to pghackers), but mostly

for views. Views are now have a "relkind" of
RELKIND_VIEW instead of RELKIND_RELATION.
Also, views no longer have actual heap storage
files.
The following changes were made
1. CREATE VIEW sets the new relkind
2. The executor complains if a DELETE or
INSERT references a view.
3. DROP RULE complains if an attempt is made
to delete a view SELECT rule.
4. CREATE RULE "_RETmytable" AS ON SELECT TO mytable DO INSTEAD ...
1. checks to make sure mytable is empty.
2. sets the relkind to RELKIND_VIEW.
3. deletes the heap storage files.
5. LOCK myview is not allowed. :)
6. the regression test type_sanity was changed to
account for the new relkind value.
7. CREATE INDEX ON myview ... is not allowed.
8. VACUUM myview is not allowed.
VACUUM automatically skips views when do the entire
database.
9. TRUNCATE myview is not allowed.
THINGS LEFT TO THINK ABOUT
o pg_views
o pg_dump
o pgsql (\d \dv)
o Do we really want to be able to inherit from views?
o Is 'DROP TABLE myview' OK?

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.

to one another. Sort out builddir vs srcdir variable namings. Remove some
now obsoleted make variables.

Datum, not char*, for portability's sake.

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.

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.

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.
|

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.

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.

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 ...
|
|
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 :-(.

if given a node type it doesn't support. As is, wrong results from a
mergejoin would go undetected.

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.
|
|
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 :-().
|
|
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...
|
|
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).

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
