2001-05-18Undo \dT change. Not worth it.Bruce Momjian
2001-05-18Rename ParseFuncOrColumn() to ParseColumnOrFunc().Bruce Momjian
2001-05-18Small code cleanups,formatting.Bruce Momjian
2001-04-18Further tweaking of error messages for cases involving attributes &Tom Lane
functions of join or subselect aliases. It'd be awfully nice if this code knew for sure whether it was dealing with 'x.f' or 'f(x)' syntax; maybe we can fix that in a future cycle.
2001-03-22pgindent run. Make it all clean.Bruce Momjian
2001-03-14Give a more reasonable error message for a bad attribute name appliedTom Lane
to a join or subselect alias ... cf. Oliver Elphick's complaint 13-Mar.
2001-02-14Change scoping of table and join refnames to conform to SQL92: a JOINTom Lane
clause with an alias is a <subquery> and therefore hides table references appearing within it, according to the spec. This is the same as the preliminary patch I posted to pgsql-patches yesterday, plus some really grotty code in ruleutils.c to reverse-list a query tree with the correct alias name depending on context. I'd rather not have done that, but unless we want to force another initdb for 7.1, there's no other way for now.
2001-01-24Change Copyright from PostgreSQL, Inc to PostgreSQL Global Development Group.Bruce Momjian
2001-01-23Remove no-longer-needed restriction against referencing systemTom Lane
attributes in a FieldSelect node --- all the places that manipulate these work just fine with system attribute numbers. OK, it's a new feature, so shoot me ...
2000-12-27Fix portability problems recently exposed by regression tests on Alphas.Tom Lane
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.
2000-12-15Make algorithm for resolving UNKNOWN function/operator inputs beTom Lane
insensitive to the order of arguments. Per pghackers discussion 12/10/00.
2000-11-16Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count isTom Lane
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.
2000-11-11Fix bug in recent improvement to type resolution code. Forgot to retainThomas G. Lockhart
"best choice" type category when resolving UNKNOWN function and operator arguments. Thanks to Tom Lane for finding test case.
2000-11-06Allow type resolution for UNKNOWN arguments to functions to fall back toThomas G. Lockhart
any available string type. Previously, all candidate choices must have fallen within the same "type category" for PostgreSQL to be willing to choose any of them. Need to apply the same fixup to operator type resolution.
2000-09-29Subselects in FROM clause, per ISO syntax: FROM (SELECT ...) [AS] alias.Tom Lane
(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!
2000-09-12First cut at full support for OUTER JOINs. There are still a few looseTom Lane
ends to clean up (see my message of same date to pghackers), but mostly it works. INITDB REQUIRED!
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.
2000-08-20Make functional indexes accept binary-compatible functions, for exampleTom Lane
CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo (lower(f1)) where f1 is varchar rather than text.
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.
2000-08-03Modify 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 :-(.
2000-06-15Final #include cleanup.Bruce Momjian
2000-06-15Clean up #include's.Bruce Momjian
2000-06-11Update sequence-related functions to new fmgr style. Remove downcasing,Tom Lane
quote-stripping, and acl-checking tasks for these functions from the parser, and do them at function execution time instead. This fixes the failure of pg_dump to produce correct output for nextval(Foo) used in a rule, and also eliminates the restriction that the argument of these functions must be a parse-time constant.
2000-06-03New warning code about auto-created range table entries.Bruce Momjian
2000-05-30Remove unused include files. Do not touch /port or includes used by defines.Bruce Momjian
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.
2000-05-26Generate a reasonable error message when an aggregate function is appliedTom Lane
to an undecorated relation name (cf. example from Ed Loehr, 5/25/00).
2000-04-12Ye-old pgindent run. Same 4-space tabs.Bruce Momjian
2000-03-23Remove no-longer-necessary restriction against uplevel correlation varsTom Lane
outside WHERE clause. Fix a couple of places that didn't handle uplevel refs cleanly.
2000-03-19Another go-round with resolution of ambiguous functions and operators.Tom Lane
In function parsing, try for an actual function of the given name and input types before trying to interpret the function call as a type coercion request, rather than after. Before, a function that had the same name as a type and operated on a binary-compatible type wouldn't get invoked. Also, cross-pollinate between func_select_candidates and oper_select_candidates to ensure that they use as nearly the same resolution rules as possible. A few other minor code cleanups too.
2000-03-16Turns out that Mazurkiewicz's gripe about 'function inheritance' isTom Lane
actually a type-coercion problem. If you have a function defined on class A, and class B inherits from A, then the function ought to work on class B as well --- but coerce_type didn't know that. Now it does.
2000-03-14Implement column aliases on views "CREATE VIEW name (collist)".Thomas G. Lockhart
Implement TIME WITH TIME ZONE type (timetz internal type). Remap length() for character strings to CHAR_LENGTH() for SQL92 and to remove the ambiguity with geometric length() functions. Keep length() for character strings for backward compatibility. Shrink stored views by removing internal column name list from visible rte. Implement min(), max() for time and timetz data types. Implement conversion of TIME to INTERVAL. Implement abs(), mod(), fac() for the int8 data type. Rename some math functions to generic names: round(), sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), etc. Rename NUMERIC power() function to pow(). Fix int2 factorial to calculate result in int4. Enhance the Oracle compatibility function translate() to work with string arguments (from Edwin Ramirez). Modify pg_proc system table to remove OID holes.
2000-03-11Further fixes for bogus list-slinging, scribbling on input, etc in typeTom Lane
coercion code. I'm beginning to wonder why we have separate candidate selection routines for functions, operators, and aggregates --- shouldn't this code all be unified? But meanwhile, SELECT 'a' LIKE 'a'; finally works; the code for dealing with unknown input types for operators was pretty busted.
2000-02-20Further cleanups for type coercion: treat the locution typename(argument)Tom Lane
as representing a type coercion request in more cases than we did before. It will work now whenever no underlying function is required, ie if the coercion is binary-compatible or if the argument is a previously untyped string constant. Otherwise, you still need a real function to exist.
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.
2000-02-20Fix broken list-slinging logic in func_select_candidate andTom Lane
agg_select_candidate, which could cause them to keep more candidates than they should and thus fail to select a single match. I had previously fixed the identical bug in oper_select_candidate, but didn't realize that the same error was repeated over here. Also, repair func_select_candidate's curious notion that it could scribble on the input type-OID vector. That was causing failure to apply necessary type coercion later on, leading to malfunction of examples such as select date('now').
2000-02-15Carry column aliases from the parser frontend. Enables queries likeThomas G. Lockhart
SELECT a FROM t1 tx (a); Allow join syntax, including queries like SELECT * FROM t1 NATURAL JOIN t2; Update RTE structure to hold column aliases in an Attr structure.

2000-01-24Made abstime/reltime use int4 instead of time_t (TODO item)Peter Eisentraut
Made type equivalency apply to aggregates (TODO item) Fixed parsing bug in psql Reverted some stupid options changes I made to pg_dump
2000-01-10Make number of args to a function configurable.Bruce Momjian
1999-12-16Some changes to prepare for LONG attributes.Jan Wieck
Jan
1999-12-10Teach grammar and parser about aggregate(DISTINCT ...). No implementationTom Lane
yet, but at least we can give a better error message: regression=> select count(distinct f1) from int4_tbl; ERROR: aggregate(DISTINCT ...) is not implemented yet instead of 'parser: parse error at or near distinct'.
1999-12-07Clean up memory leakage in find_inheritors() by using pg_list listsTom Lane
(which are palloc'd) instead of DLLists (which are malloc'd). Not very significant, since this routine seldom has anything useful to do, but a leak is a leak...
1999-11-22Add system indexes to match all caches.Bruce Momjian
Make all system indexes unique. Make all cache loads use system indexes. Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables. Rename cache names to be clearer.
1999-11-07New NameStr macro to convert Name to Str. No need for var.data anymore.Bruce Momjian
Fewer calls to nameout. Better use of RelationGetRelationName.
1999-10-07Fix planner and rewriter to follow SQL semantics for tables that areTom Lane
mentioned in FROM but not elsewhere in the query: such tables should be joined over anyway. Aside from being more standards-compliant, this allows removal of some very ugly hacks for COUNT(*) processing. Also, allow HAVING clause without aggregate functions, since SQL does. Clean up CREATE RULE statement-list syntax the same way Bruce just fixed the main stmtmulti production. CAUTION: addition of a field to RangeTblEntry nodes breaks stored rules; you will have to initdb if you have any rules.
