2005-03-26Use a bitmapset instead of a list for duplicate-column checking inTom Lane
checkInsertTargets(). Avoids O(N^2) behavior on wide target lists.
2005-01-13get_names_for_var didn't do recursion for unnamed JOIN vars quite right;Tom Lane
got it wrong when the JOIN was in an outer query level. Per example from Laurie Burrow. Also fix same issue in markTargetListOrigin. I think the latter is only a latent bug since we currently don't apply markTargetListOrigin except at the outer level ... but should do it right anyway.
2004-12-31Tag appropriate files for rc3PostgreSQL Daemon
Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...
2004-10-25Make error message more verbose, in hopes of avoiding misunderstandingsTom Lane
such as bug #1293.
2004-09-30Come to think of it, functions in FROM have the same syntactic restrictionTom Lane
as CREATE INDEX did, and can be fixed the same way, for another small improvement in usability and reduction in grammar size.

2004-08-19Repair some issues with column aliases and RowExpr construction in theTom Lane
presence of dropped columns. Document the already-presumed fact that eref aliases in relation RTEs are supposed to have entries for dropped columns; cause the user alias structs to have such entries too, so that there's always a one-to-one mapping to the underlying physical attnums. Adjust expandRTE() and related code to handle the case where a column that is part of a JOIN has been dropped. Generalize expandRTE()'s API so that it can be used in a couple of places that formerly rolled their own implementation of the same logic. Fix ruleutils.c to suppress display of aliases for columns that were dropped since the rule was made.
2004-06-19Fix oversight in recent rowtype-handling improvements: transformTargetListTom Lane
should recognize 'foo.*' when the star appears in A_Indirection, not only in ColumnRef. This allows 'SELECT something.*' to do what the user expects when the something is an expression yielding a row.
2004-06-09Support assignment to subfields of composite columns in UPDATE and INSERT.Tom Lane
As a side effect, cause subscripts in INSERT targetlists to do something more or less sensible; previously we evaluated such subscripts and then effectively ignored them. Another side effect is that UPDATE-ing an element or slice of an array value that is NULL now produces a non-null result, namely an array containing just the assigned-to positions.
2004-06-01Some more de-FastList-ification.Tom Lane
2004-05-30Use the new List API function names throughout the backend, and disable theNeil Conway
list compatibility API by default. While doing this, I decided to keep the llast() macro around and introduce llast_int() and llast_oid() variants.
2004-05-26Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway
In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer. A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes. The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope, be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
2004-05-10Promote row expressions to full-fledged citizens of the expression syntax,Tom Lane
rather than allowing them only in a few special cases as before. In particular you can now pass a ROW() construct to a function that accepts a rowtype parameter. Internal generation of RowExprs fixes a number of corner cases that used to not work very well, such as referencing the whole-row result of a JOIN or subquery. This represents a further step in the work I started a month or so back to make rowtype values into first-class citizens.
2004-04-02Get rid of crocky use of RangeVar nodes in parser to represent partiallyTom Lane
transformed whole-row variables. Cleaner to use regular whole-row Vars.
2004-02-13Try to make 'cross-database references are not implemented' errors aTom Lane
bit more helpful by identifying the specific qualified name being complained of.

2003-09-25Message editing: remove gratuitous variations in message wording, standardizePeter Eisentraut
terms, add some clarifications, fix some untranslatable attempts at dynamic message building.
2003-08-11Rewriter and planner should use only resno, not resname, to identifyTom Lane
target columns in INSERT and UPDATE targetlists. Don't rely on resname to be accurate in ruleutils, either. This fixes bug reported by Donald Fraser, in which renaming a column referenced in a rule did not work very well.
2003-08-11Code cleanup inspired by recent resname bug report (doesn't fix the bugTom Lane
yet, though). Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular resno. This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded search loops. Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with llast().

2003-05-31markTargetListOrigin neglected to handle outer-scope Vars properly;Tom Lane
per report from Joe Conway.
2003-05-06Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifiesTom Lane
the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms. Turns out that representation was not convenient for either the planner or the executor; we can make the planner deliver exactly what the executor wants with no more effort. initdb forced due to change in stored rule representation.
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.

The attached patch covers the first of the two proposals, i.e. restricting the target list to only one set returning function. It compiles cleanly, and passes all regression tests. If there are no objections, please apply. Any suggestions on where this should be documented (other than maybe sql-select)? Thanks, Joe p.s. Here's what the previous example now looks like: CREATE TABLE bar(f1 int, f2 text, f3 int); INSERT INTO bar VALUES(1, 'Hello', 42); INSERT INTO bar VALUES(2, 'Happy', 45); CREATE TABLE foo(a int, b text); INSERT INTO foo VALUES(42, 'World'); INSERT INTO foo VALUES(42, 'Everyone'); INSERT INTO foo VALUES(45, 'Birthday'); INSERT INTO foo VALUES(45, 'New Year'); CREATE TABLE foo2(a int, b text); INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(42, '!!!!'); INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(42, '????'); INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(42, '####'); INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(45, '$$$$'); CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getfoo(int) RETURNS SETOF text AS ' SELECT b FROM foo WHERE a = $1 ' language 'sql'; CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getfoo2(int) RETURNS SETOF text AS ' SELECT b FROM foo2 WHERE a = $1 ' language 'sql'; regression=# SELECT f1, f2, getfoo(f3) AS f4 FROM bar; f1 | f2 | f4 ----+-------+---------- 1 | Hello | World 1 | Hello | Everyone 2 | Happy | Birthday 2 | Happy | New Year (4 rows) regression=# SELECT f1, f2, getfoo(f3) AS f4, getfoo2(f3) AS f5 FROM bar; ERROR: Only one target list entry may return a set result Joe Conway
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.
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.

2002-09-28Make 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.
2002-09-18Extend 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.

2002-08-19Remove Ident nodetype in favor of using String nodes; this fixes someTom Lane
latent wrong-struct-type bugs and makes the coding style more uniform, since the majority of places working with lists of column names were already using Strings not Idents. While at it, remove vestigial support for Stream node type, and otherwise-unreferenced nodes.h entries for T_TupleCount and T_BaseNode. NB: full recompile is recommended due to changes of Node type numbers. This shouldn't force an initdb though.
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?'
2002-08-02ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN works. Patch by Christopher Kings-Lynne,Tom Lane
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!) a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what to do here. Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
2002-06-20Update copyright to 2002.Bruce Momjian
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.
