default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them.
Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now;
pg_description has a three-column key instead of one.
Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey
has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and
triggers in a valid order.
initdb forced.

ExecEvalExpr, to avoid possible memory leak.
|

it copies the tupdesc into upper-executor memory. This is necessary
for returning tuple descriptors without leaking all of lower exec memory.
|
|
|
|
Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough.
However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be
able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.

per previous discussion on pghackers. Most of the duplicate code in
different AMs' ambuild routines has been moved out to a common routine
in index.c; this means that all index types now do the right things about
inserting recently-dead tuples, etc. (I also removed support for EXTEND
INDEX in the ambuild routines, since that's about to go away anyway, and
it cluttered the code a lot.) The retail indextuple deletion routines have
been replaced by a "bulk delete" routine in which the indexscan is inside
the access method. I haven't pushed this change as far as it should go yet,
but it should allow considerable simplification of the internal bookkeeping
for deletions. Also, add flag columns to pg_am to eliminate various
hardcoded tests on AM OIDs, and remove unused pg_am columns.
Fix rtree and gist index types to not attempt to store NULLs; before this,
gist usually crashed, while rtree managed not to crash but computed wacko
bounding boxes for NULL entries (which might have had something to do with
the performance problems we've heard about occasionally).
Add AtEOXact routines to hash, rtree, and gist, all of which have static
state that needs to be reset after an error. We discovered this need long
ago for btree, but missed the other guys.
Oh, one more thing: concurrent VACUUM is now the default.

it's hard to keep such massive changes in sync with the tree
so I need to get it in and work from there now).

tests to return the correct results per SQL9x when given NULL inputs.
Reimplement these tests as well as IS [NOT] NULL to have their own
expression node types, instead of depending on special functions.

nodeHash.c will compute it (by sharing code).

report on old-style functions invoked by RI triggers. We had a number of
other places that were being sloppy about which memory context FmgrInfo
subsidiary data will be allocated in. Turns out none of them actually
cause a problem in 7.1, but this is for arcane reasons such as the fact
that old-style triggers aren't supported anyway. To avoid getting burnt
later, I've restructured the trigger support so that we don't keep trigger
FmgrInfo structs in relcache memory. Some other related cleanups too:
it's not really necessary to call fmgr_info at all while setting up
the index support info in relcache entries, because those ScanKeyEntry
structs are never used to invoke the functions. This should speed up
relcache initialization a tiny bit.

the same tuple slot that the raw tuple came from, because that slot has
the wrong tuple descriptor. Store it into its own slot with the correct
descriptor, instead. This repairs problems with SPI functions seeing
inappropriate tuple descriptors --- for example, plpgsql code failing to
cope with SELECT FOR UPDATE.

Rather surprising we hadn't seen bug reports about this ...

privileges. INSERT and COPY FROM now require INSERT (only). Add
privileges regression test.

- New functions to create a portal using a prepared/saved
SPI plan or lookup an existing portal by name.
- Functions to fetch/move from/in portals. Results are placed
in the usual SPI_processed and SPI_tuptable, so the entire
set of utility functions can be used to gain attribute access.
- Prepared/saved SPI plans now use their own memory context
and SPI_freeplan(plan) can remove them.
- Tuple result sets (SPI_tuptable) now uses it's own memory
context and can be free'd by SPI_freetuptable(tuptab).
Enhancement of PL/pgSQL
- Uses generic named portals internally in FOR ... SELECT
loops to avoid running out of memory on huge result sets.
- Support for CURSOR and REFCURSOR syntax using the new SPI
functionality. Cursors used internally only need no explicit
transaction block. Refcursor variables can be used inside
of explicit transaction block to pass cursors between main
application and functions.

type never scans a relation directly, it can't be an EPQ target.
Explicitly drop subplan's tuple table to ensure we have no buffer pin
leaks.

trees (mostly my fault). Repair. Also fix long-standing bug in ExecReplace:
after recomputing a concurrently updated tuple, we must recheck constraints.
Make EvalPlanQual leak memory with somewhat less enthusiasm than before,
although plugging leaks fully will require more changes than I care to risk
in a dot-release.

to their children, leading to misbehavior if they had any children that paid
attention to chgParam (most plan node types don't). Append's bug has been
there a long time, but nobody had noticed because it used to be difficult
to create a query where an Append would be used below the top level of a
plan; so there were never any parameters getting passed down. SubqueryScan
is new in 7.1 ... and I'd modeled its behavior on Append :-(

a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too).
pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are
stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values,
not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random
sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large
tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now
user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command.
There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere
they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project
should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before.
A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison
routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.

function arguments in join queries: copy the tuples into
TransactionCommandContext so they don't get recycled too soon. This is
horrid, but not any worse than 7.0 or before, which also leaked such
tuples until end of query. A proper fix will require allowing tuple
datums to be physically stored inside larger tuple datums, which opens
up a bunch of issues that can't realistically be solved for 7.1.1.

syntax. Fix the RESULT_OID case, which never worked. Add documentation.

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.

are treated more like 'cancel' interrupts: the signal handler sets a
flag that is examined at well-defined spots, rather than trying to cope
with an interrupt that might happen anywhere. See pghackers discussion
of 1/12/01.

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...

an error as we used to. In an OUTER JOIN scenario, retrieving a null
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.

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.

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!
