2003-07-29Coerce unknown-literal-constant default values to the column type duringTom Lane
CREATE TABLE (or ALTER TABLE SET DEFAULT), rather than postponing it to the time that the default is inserted into an INSERT command by the rewriter. This reverses an old decision that was intended to make the world safe for writing f1 timestamp default 'now' but in fact merely made the failure modes subtle rather than obvious. Per recent trouble report and followup discussion. initdb forced since there is a chance that stored default expressions will change.
2003-07-25Error message editing in backend/optimizer, backend/rewrite.Tom Lane
2003-07-16Add defenses against trying to attach qual conditions to a setOperationTom Lane
query node, since that won't work unless the planner is upgraded. Someday we should try to support at least some cases of this, but for now just plug the hole in the dike. Per discussion with Dmitry Tkach.

2003-05-02Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.Tom Lane
Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c, so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries. initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.
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.
2003-02-25Remove REWRITE_INVOKE_MAX in favor of making an accurate check forTom Lane
recursion in RewriteQuery(); also, detect recursion in fireRIRrules(), so as to catch self-referential views per example from Ryan VanderBijl. Minor code restructuring to make it easier to catch recursive case.
2003-02-13Repair rule permissions-checking bug reported by Tim Burgess 10-Feb-02:Tom Lane
the table(s) modified by the original query would get checked for the type of write permission needed by a rule query.
2003-01-17Adjust API of expression_tree_mutator and query_tree_mutator toTom Lane
simplify callers. It turns out the common case is that the caller does want to recurse into sub-queries, so push support for that into these subroutines.
2002-12-17To suppress memory leakage in long-lived Lists, lremove() should pfreeTom Lane
the cons cell it's deleting from the list. Do this, and fix a few callers that were bogusly assuming it wouldn't free the cons cell.
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.
2002-10-20Rule rewriter was doing the wrong thing with conditional INSTEAD rulesTom Lane
whose conditions might yield NULL. The negated qual to attach to the original query is properly 'x IS NOT TRUE', not 'NOT x'. This fix produces correct behavior, but we may be taking a performance hit because the planner is much stupider about IS NOT TRUE than it is about NOT clauses. Future TODO: teach prepqual, other parts of planner how to cope with BooleanTest clauses more effectively.
2002-10-19Fix rewrite code so that rules are in fact executed in order by name,Tom Lane
rather than being reordered according to INSTEAD attribute for implementation convenience. Also, increase compiled-in recursion depth limit from 10 to 100 rewrite cycles. 10 seems pretty marginal for situations where multiple rules exist for the same query. There was a complaint about this recently, so I'm going to bump it up. (Perhaps we should make the limit a GUC parameter, but that's too close to being a new feature to do in beta.)
2002-10-14Adjust handling of command status strings in the presence of rules,Tom Lane
as per recent pghackers discussions. initdb forced due to change in fields of stored Query nodes.
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.
2002-09-11Tweak querytree-dependency-extraction code so that columns of tablesTom Lane
that are explicitly JOINed are not considered dependencies unless they are actually used in the query: mere presence in the joinaliasvars list of a JOIN RTE doesn't count as being used. The patch touches a number of files because I needed to generalize the API of query_tree_walker to support an additional flag bit, but the changes are otherwise quite small.

2002-08-29Rephrase 'Cannot insert into a view' and related messages, perTom Lane
pghackers discussion around 31-Jul-02.
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.
2002-08-02ALTER 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.
2002-07-18The attached patch (against HEAD) implementsBruce Momjian
COPY x (a,d,c,b) from stdin; COPY x (a,c) to stdout; as well as the corresponding changes to pg_dump to use the new functionality. This functionality is not available when using the BINARY option. If a column is not specified in the COPY FROM statement, its default values will be used. In addition to this functionality, I tweaked a couple of the error messages emitted by the new COPY <options> checks. Brent Verner
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.
2002-04-05Undo not-so-hot decision to postpone insertion of default values intoTom Lane
INSERT statements to the planner. Taking it out of the parser was right (so that defaults don't get into stored rules), but it has to happen before rewrite rule expansion, else references to NEW.field behave incorrectly. Accordingly, add a step to the rewriter to insert defaults just before rewrite-rule expansion.
2002-03-22A little further progress on schemas: push down RangeVars intoTom Lane
addRangeTableEntry calls. Remove relname field from RTEs, since it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations; we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead. Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
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.

tests pass.
2001-07-09Fix rule rewriter so that new ordering of ON INSERT actions appliesTom Lane
in cases of qualified rules as well as unqualified ones. Tweak rules test to avoid cluttering output with dummy SELECT results. Update documentation to match code.

2001-06-13Remove some dead code, simplify calling convention.Tom Lane
2001-06-12Repair problem with multi-action rules in combination with any nontrivialTom Lane
manipulation of rtable/jointree by planner. Rewriter was generating actions that shared rtable/jointree substructure, which caused havoc when planner got to the later actions that it'd already mucked up.
2001-05-03Permissions were not checked correctly when one view invokes another.Tom Lane
Per bug report from Lieven Van Acker, 5/2/01.
2001-04-17Add some defenses to guard against case where a rule refers to a tableTom Lane
or view that's been dropped and then recreated with the same name (but, perhaps, different columns). Eventually we'd like to support this but for now all we can do is fail cleanly, rather than possibly coredumping if we proceed using the obsolete rule.
2001-03-22Remove dashes in comments that don't need them, rewrap with pgindent.Bruce Momjian
2001-03-22pgindent run. Make it all clean.Bruce Momjian
2001-01-27Repair bug reported by Huxton, 1/24/01. We need to include a rule'sTom Lane
original table ('OLD' table) in its join tree if OLD is referenced by either the rule action, the rule qual, or the original query qual that will be added to the rule action. However, we only want one instance of the original table to be included; so beware of the possibility that the rule action already has a jointree entry for OLD.

2001-01-03Fix breakage of rules using NOTIFY actions, per bug report and patchTom Lane
from sergiop@sinectis.com.ar.
2000-12-07Make application of FOR UPDATE to a view work exactly like the parser'sTom Lane
transformForUpdate does: it should recurse into subqueries.
2000-12-06Clean up handling of FOR UPDATE inside views and subselects ... make itTom Lane
work where we can (given that the executor only handles it at top level) and generate an error where we can't. Note that while the parser has been allowing views to say SELECT FOR UPDATE for a few weeks now, that hasn't actually worked until just now.
2000-12-05Repair breakage of rules containing INSERT ... SELECT actions, per bugTom Lane
report from Joel Burton. Turns out that my simple idea of turning the SELECT into a subquery does not interact well *at all* with the way the rule rewriter works. Really what we need to make INSERT ... SELECT work cleanly is to decouple targetlists from rangetables: an INSERT ... SELECT wants to have two levels of targetlist but only one rangetable. No time for that for 7.1, however, so I've inserted some ugly hacks to make the rewriter know explicitly about the structure of INSERT ... SELECT queries. Ugh :-(
2000-11-08Make DROP TABLE rollback-able: postpone physical file delete until commit.Tom Lane
(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.
2000-10-05Reimplementation of UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT. INTERSECT/EXCEPT now meet theTom Lane
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!
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!
2000-09-06Code cleanup of user name and user id handling in the backend. The currentPeter Eisentraut
user is now defined in terms of the user id, the user name is only computed upon request (for display purposes). This is kind of the opposite of the previous state, which would maintain the user name and compute the user id for permission checks. Besides perhaps saving a few cycles (integer vs string), this now creates a single point of attack for changing the user id during a connection, for purposes of "setuid" functions, etc.
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.
2000-06-30Use a private memory context to store rule information in each relcacheTom Lane
entry that has rules. This allows us to release the rule parsetrees on relcache flush without needing a working freeObject() routine. Formerly, the rule trees were leaked permanently at relcache flush. Also, clean up handling of rule creation and deletion --- there was not sufficient locking of the relation being modified, and there was no reliable notification of other backends that a relcache reload was needed. Also, clean up relcache.c code so that scans of system tables needed to load a relcache entry are done in the caller's memory context, not in CacheMemoryContext. This prevents any un-pfreed memory from those scans from becoming a permanent memory leak.
