In the previous coding, the parser emitted a List containing a C string,
which is no good, because copyObject() can't handle it.

Foreign tables are a core component of SQL/MED. This commit does
not provide a working SQL/MED infrastructure, because foreign tables
cannot yet be queried. Support for foreign table scans will need to
be added in a future patch. However, this patch creates the necessary
system catalog structure, syntax support, and support for ancillary
operations such as COMMENT and SECURITY LABEL.

This is analogous to the existing facility that allows casting a row type to a
supertable's row type.

The contents of an unlogged table are WAL-logged; thus, they are not
available on standby servers and are truncated whenever the database
system enters recovery. Indexes on unlogged tables are also unlogged.
Unlogged GiST indexes are not currently supported.

This privilege is required to do Streaming Replication, instead of
superuser, making it possible to set up a SR slave that doesn't
have write permissions on the master.
Superuser privileges do NOT override this check, so in order to
use the default superuser account for replication it must be
explicitly granted the REPLICATION permissions. This is backwards
incompatible change, in the interest of higher default security.

This commit replaces pg_class.relistemp with pg_class.relpersistence;
and also modifies the RangeVar node type to carry relpersistence rather
than istemp. It also removes removes rd_istemp from RelationData and
instead performs the correct computation based on relpersistence.
For clarity, we add three new macros: RelationNeedsWAL(),
RelationUsesLocalBuffers(), and RelationUsesTempNamespace(), so that we
can clarify the purpose of each check that previous depended on
rd_istemp.
This is intended as infrastructure for the upcoming unlogged tables
patch, as well as for future possible work on global temporary tables.

This adds support for changing the schema of a conversion, operator,
operator class, operator family, text search configuration, text search
dictionary, text search parser, or text search template.

This commit adds columns amoppurpose and amopsortfamily to pg_amop, and
column amcanorderbyop to pg_am. For the moment all the entries in
amcanorderbyop are "false", since the underlying support isn't there yet.
Also, extend the CREATE OPERATOR CLASS/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands with
[ FOR SEARCH | FOR ORDER BY sort_operator_family ] clauses to allow the new
columns of pg_amop to be populated, and create pg_dump support for dumping
that information.
I also added some documentation, although it's perhaps a bit premature
given that the feature doesn't do anything useful yet.

PG 8.4 added a built-in feature for casting pretty much any data type to
string types (text, varchar, etc). We allowed this to work in any of the
historically-allowed syntaxes: CAST(x AS text), x::text, text(x), or
x.text. However, multiple complaints have shown that it's too easy to
invoke such casts unintentionally in the latter two styles, particularly
field selection. To cure the problem with the narrowest possible change
of behavior, disallow use of I/O conversion casts from composite types to
string types via functional/attribute syntax. The new functionality is
still available via cast syntax.
In passing, document the equivalence of functional and attribute syntax
in a more visible place.

The core of this patch is hash_array() and associated typcache
infrastructure, which works just about exactly like the existing support
for array comparison.
In addition I did some work to ensure that the planner won't think that an
array type is hashable unless its element type is hashable, and similarly
for sorting. This includes adding a datatype parameter to op_hashjoinable
and op_mergejoinable, and adding an explicit "hashable" flag to
SortGroupClause. The lack of a cross-check on the element type was a
pre-existing bug in mergejoin support --- but it didn't matter so much
before, because if you couldn't sort the element type there wasn't any good
alternative to failing anyhow. Now that we have the alternative of hashing
the array type, there are cases where we can avoid a failure by being picky
at the planner stage, so it's time to be picky.
The issue of exactly how to combine the per-element hash values to produce
an array hash is still open for discussion, but the rest of this is pretty
solid, so I'll commit it as-is.

Split the old typenameTypeId() into two functions: A new typenameTypeId() that
returns only a type OID, and typenameTypeIdAndMod() that returns type OID and
typmod. This isolates call sites better that actually care about the typmod.

as a variable or column name, and it's not reserved in recent versions of
the SQL spec either. This became particularly annoying in 9.0, before that
PL/pgSQL replaced variable names in queries with parameter markers, so
it was possible to use OFF and many other backend parser keywords as
variable names. Because of that, backpatch to 9.0.

This patch eliminates various bizarre behaviors caused by sloppy thinking
about the difference between a domain type and its underlying array type.
In particular, the operation of updating one element of such an array
has to be considered as yielding a value of the underlying array type,
*not* a value of the domain, because there's no assurance that the
domain's CHECK constraints are still satisfied. If we're intending to
store the result back into a domain column, we have to re-cast to the
domain type so that constraints are re-checked.
For similar reasons, such a domain can't be blindly matched to an ANYARRAY
polymorphic parameter, because the polymorphic function is likely to apply
array-ish operations that could invalidate the domain constraints. For the
moment, we just forbid such matching. We might later wish to insert an
automatic downcast to the underlying array type, but such a change should
also change matching of domains to ANYELEMENT for consistency.
To ensure that all such logic is rechecked, this patch removes the original
hack of setting a domain's pg_type.typelem field to match its base type;
the typelem will always be zero instead. In those places where it's really
okay to look through the domain type with no other logic changes, use the
newly added get_base_element_type function in place of get_element_type.
catversion bumped due to change in pg_type contents.
Per bug #5717 from Richard Huxton and subsequent discussion.

A couple of places in the planner need to generate whole-row Vars, and were
cutting corners by setting vartype = RECORDOID in the Vars, even in cases
where there's an identifiable named composite type for the RTE being
referenced. While we mostly got away with this, it failed when there was
also a parser-generated whole-row reference to the same RTE, because the
two Vars weren't equal() due to the difference in vartype. Fix by
providing a subroutine the planner can call to generate whole-row Vars
the same way the parser does.
Per bug #5716 from Andrew Tipton. Back-patch to 9.0 where one of the bogus
calls was introduced (the other one is new in HEAD).

This is not the hoped-for facility of using INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE inside
a WITH, but rather the other way around. It seems useful in its own
right anyway.
Note: catversion bumped because, although the contents of stored rules
might look compatible, there's actually a subtle semantic change.
A single Query containing a WITH and INSERT...VALUES now represents
writing the WITH before the INSERT, not before the VALUES. While it's
not clear that that matters to anyone, it seems like a good idea to
have it cited in the git history for catversion.h.

This patch adds the SQL-standard concept of an INSTEAD OF trigger, which
is fired instead of performing a physical insert/update/delete. The
trigger function is passed the entire old and/or new rows of the view,
and must figure out what to do to the underlying tables to implement
the update. So this feature can be used to implement updatable views
using trigger programming style rather than rule hacking.
In passing, this patch corrects the names of some columns in the
information_schema.triggers view. It seems the SQL committee renamed
them somewhere between SQL:99 and SQL:2003.
Dean Rasheed, reviewed by Bernd Helmle; some additional hacking by me.

In versions 8.2 and up, the grammar allows attaching ORDER BY, LIMIT,
FOR UPDATE, or WITH to VALUES, and hence to INSERT ... VALUES. But the
special-case code for VALUES in transformInsertStmt() wasn't expecting any
of those, and just ignored them, leading to unexpected results. Rather
than complicate the special-case path, just ensure that the presence of any
of those clauses makes us treat the query as if it had a general SELECT.
Per report from Hitoshi Harada.

for typed tables. Noted by Robert Haas.

pointed out, it would need a 2nd pass after the whole query is processed to
correctly check that an unknown Param is coerced to the same target type
everywhere. Adding the 2nd pass would add a lot more code, which doesn't
seem worth the risk given that there isn't much of a use case for passing
unknown Params in the first place. The code would work without that check,
but it might be confusing and the behavior would be different from the
varparams case.
Instead, just coerce all unknown params in a PL/pgSQL USING clause to text.
That's simple, and is usually what users expect.
Revert the patch in CVS HEAD and master, and backpatch the new solution to
8.4. Unlike the previous solution, this applies easily to 8.4 too.

The implicitly created sequence was created as owned by the current user,
who could be different from the table owner, eg if current user is a
superuser or some member of the table's owning role. This caused sanity
checks in the SEQUENCE OWNED BY code to spit up. Although possibly we
don't need those sanity checks, the safest fix seems to be to make sure
the implicit sequence is assigned the same owner role as the table has.
(We still do all permissions checks as the current user, however.)
Per report from Josh Berkus.
Back-patch to 9.0. The bug goes back to the invention of SEQUENCE OWNED BY
in 8.2, but the fix requires an API change for DefineRelation(), which seems
to have potential for breaking third-party code if done in a minor release.
Given the lack of prior complaints, it's probably not worth fixing in the
stable branches.

EXECUTE ... USING 'stringconstant'.
The coercion with a CoerceViaIO node. The result is similar to the coercion
via input function performed for unknown constants in coerce_type(),
except that this happens at runtime.
Backpatch to 9.0. The issue is present in 8.4 as well, but the coerce param
hook infrastructure this patch relies on was introduced in 9.0. Given the
lack of user reports and harmlessness of the bug, it's not worth attempting
a different fix just for 8.4.

other columns to be referenced without listing them in GROUP BY, so long as
the primary key column(s) are listed in GROUP BY.
Eventually we should also allow functional dependency on a UNIQUE constraint
when the columns are marked NOT NULL, but that has to wait until NOT NULL
constraints are represented in pg_constraint, because we need to have
pg_constraint OIDs for all the conditions needed to ensure functional
dependency.

look through join alias Vars to avoid breaking join queries, and
move the test to someplace where it will catch more possible ways
of calling a function. We still ought to throw away the whole thing
in favor of a data-type-based solution, but that's not feasible in
the back branches.
This needs to be back-patched further than 9.0, but I don't have time
to do so today. Committing now so that the fix gets into 9.0beta4.

any implicit casting previously applied to the targetlist item. This is
reasonable because the implicit cast, by definition, wasn't written by the
user; so we are preserving the expected behavior that ORDER BY items match
textually equivalent tlist items. The case never arose before because there
couldn't be any implicit casting of a top-level SELECT item before we process
ORDER BY etc. But now it can arise in the context of aggregates containing
ORDER BY clauses, since the "targetlist" is the already-casted list of
arguments for the aggregate. The net effect is that the datatype used for
ORDER BY/DISTINCT purposes is the aggregate's declared input type, not that
of the original input column; which is a bit debatable but not horrendous,
and to do otherwise would require major rework that doesn't seem justified.
Per bug #5564 from Daniel Grace. Back-patch to 9.0 where aggregate ORDER BY
was implemented.

but we have nevertheless exposed them to users via pg_get_expr(). It would
be too much maintenance effort to rigorously check the input, so put a hack
in place instead to restrict pg_get_expr() so that the argument must come
from one of the system catalog columns known to contain valid expressions.

"val AS name" to "name := val", as per recent discussion.
This patch catches everything in the original named-parameters patch,
but I'm not certain that no other dependencies snuck in later (grepping
the source tree for all uses of AS soon proved unworkable).
In passing I note that we've dropped the ball at least once on keeping
ecpg's lexer (as opposed to parser) in sync with the backend. It would
be a good idea to go through all of pgc.l and see if it's in sync now.
I didn't attempt that at the moment.

My initial impression that glibc was measuring the precision in characters
(which is what the Linux man page says it does) was incorrect. It does take
the precision to be in bytes, but it also tries to truncate the string at a
character boundary. The bottom line remains the same: it will mess up
if the string is not in the encoding it expects, so we need to avoid %.*s
anytime there's a significant risk of that. Previous code changes are still
good, but adjust the comments to reflect this knowledge. Per research by
Hernan Gonzalez.
|
|
Depending on which spec you read, field widths and precisions in %s may be
counted either in bytes or characters. Our code was assuming bytes, which
is wrong at least for glibc's implementation, and in any case libc might
have a different idea of the prevailing encoding than we do. Hence, for
portable results we must avoid using anything more complex than just "%s"
unless the string to be printed is known to be all-ASCII.
This patch fixes the cases I could find, including the psql formatting
failure reported by Hernan Gonzalez. In HEAD only, I also added comments
to some places where it appears safe to continue using "%.*s".
