2003-07-19Another round of error message editing, covering backend/parser/.Tom Lane
2003-07-18First bits of work on error message editing.Tom Lane
2003-07-03Code review for UPDATE tab SET col = DEFAULT patch ... whack it aroundTom Lane
so it has some chance of working in rules ...
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.
2003-06-27Fix compile warnings.Tom Lane
2003-06-27First batch of object rename commands.Peter Eisentraut
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).

2003-04-29Infrastructure 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.
2003-04-08First 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.
2003-02-16COALESCE() 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.
2003-02-13transformExpr() was missing some cases it ought to allow; per reportTom Lane
from Greg Stark. Also, twiddle the FuncCall case to not scribble on the input structure, which was the proximate cause of the problem. Someday we ought to fix things so that transformExpr() isn't called on already-transformed trees ...
2003-02-10Get rid of last few vestiges of parsetree dependency on grammar tokenTom Lane
codes, per discussion from last March. parse.h should now be included *only* by gram.y, scan.l, keywords.c, parser.c. This prevents surprising misbehavior after seemingly-trivial grammar adjustments.
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.
2003-02-03Determine 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.
2003-01-13Recent changes in sublink representation require exprType() to acceptTom Lane
SubPlan nodes, else explaining queries containing sublinks may fail.
2003-01-10Further tweaking of parsetree & plantree representation of SubLinks.Tom Lane
Simplify SubLink by storing just a List of operator OIDs, instead of a list of incomplete OpExprs --- that was a bizarre and bulky choice, with no redeeming social value since we have to build new OpExprs anyway when forming the plan tree.
2003-01-09Adjust parser so that 'x NOT IN (subselect)' is converted toTom Lane
'NOT (x IN (subselect))', that is 'NOT (x = ANY (subselect))', rather than 'x <> ALL (subselect)' as we formerly did. This opens the door to optimizing NOT IN the same way as IN, whereas there's no hope of optimizing the expression using <>. Also, convert 'x <> ALL (subselect)' to the NOT(IN) style, so that the optimization will be available when processing rules dumped by older Postgres versions. initdb forced due to small change in SubLink node representation.
2002-12-27Deliver better error message when a relation name is used in an expression.Tom Lane
Per report from Ian Barwick.
2002-12-12Preliminary code review for domain CHECK constraints patch: add documentation,Tom Lane
make VALUE a non-reserved word again, use less invasive method of passing ConstraintTestValue into transformExpr, fix problems with nested constraint testing, do correct thing with NULL result from a constraint expression, remove memory leak. Domain checks still need much more work if we are going to allow ALTER DOMAIN, however.
2002-12-12Phase 2 of read-only-plans project: restructure expression-tree nodesTom Lane
so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least a little space and speed improvement. initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.

2002-11-30Code review for IS DISTINCT FROM patch. Fix incorrect constant-foldingTom Lane
logic, dissuade planner from thinking that 'x IS DISTINCT FROM 42' may be optimized into 'x = 42' (!!), cause dependency on = operator to be recorded correctly, minor other improvements.
2002-11-26Use Params, rather than run-time-modified Const nodes, to handleTom Lane
sublink results and COPY's domain constraint checking. A Const that isn't really constant is just a Bad Idea(tm). Remove hacks in parse_coerce and other places that were needed because of the former klugery.

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.

2002-08-31Code 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.
2002-08-26Modify 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.
2002-08-08Cause schema-qualified FROM items and schema-qualified variable referencesTom Lane
to behave according to SQL92 (or according to my current understanding of same, anyway). Per pghackers discussion way back in March 2002: thread 'Do FROM items of different schemas conflict?'
2002-08-04Implement IS OF type predicate. Can now do queries of the form:Thomas G. Lockhart
select value IS OF (integer, float8);
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
2002-07-06I've fixed up the way domain constraints (not null and type length)Bruce Momjian
are managed as per request. Moved from merging with table attributes to applying themselves during coerce_type() and coerce_type_typmod. Regression tests altered to test the cast() scenarios. Rod Taylor
2002-07-04Implement the IS DISTINCT FROM operator per SQL99.Thomas G. Lockhart
Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required by SQL99. We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend. Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99. This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses. Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().
2002-06-20Update copyright to 2002.Bruce Momjian
2002-05-17Get rid of the last few uses of typeidTypeName() rather thanTom Lane
format_type_be() in error messages.
2002-05-12Get rid of long-since-vestigial Iter node type, in favor of adding aTom Lane
returns-set boolean field in Func and Oper nodes. This allows cleaner, more reliable tests for expressions returning sets in the planner and parser. For example, a WHERE clause returning a set is now detected and complained of in the parser, not only at runtime.
2002-04-28Make ruleutils.c use format_type for printing typenames. Minor tweaksTom Lane
in quoting rules and recognition of implicit type coercions.
2002-04-16Operators live in namespaces. CREATE/DROP/COMMENT ON OPERATOR takeTom Lane
qualified operator names directly, for example CREATE OPERATOR myschema.+ ( ... ). To qualify an operator name in an expression you need to write OPERATOR(myschema.+) (thanks to Peter for suggesting an escape hatch). I also took advantage of having to reformat pg_operator to fix something that'd been bugging me for a while: mergejoinable operators should have explicit links to the associated cross-data-type comparison operators, rather than hardwiring an assumption that they are named < and >.
2002-04-11Restructure representation of aggregate functions so that they have pg_procTom Lane
entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c. Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like, but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided breaking regression tests as much as I could.
2002-04-09Functions live in namespaces. Qualified function names work, egTom Lane
SELECT schema1.func2(...). Aggregate names can be qualified at the syntactic level, but the qualification is ignored for the moment.
2002-03-29pg_type has a typnamespace column; system now supports creating typesTom Lane
in different namespaces. Also, cleanup work on relation namespace support: drop, alter, rename commands work for tables in non-default namespaces.
2002-03-21First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar andTom Lane
the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command. No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
2002-03-20Code review for DOMAIN patch.Tom Lane
2002-03-19Add DOMAIN support. Includes manual pages and regression tests, fromBruce Momjian
Rod Taylor.
2002-03-12Restructure representation of join alias variables. An explicit JOINTom Lane
now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do. Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end of planning, rather than during parsing. Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work. initdb forced due to change of stored-rule representation.
