2004-01-14Fix permission-checking bug reported by Tim Burgess 10-Feb-03 (this timeTom Lane
for sure...). Rather than relying on the query context of a rangetable entry to identify what permissions it wants checked, store a full AclMode mask in each RTE, and check exactly those bits. This allows an RTE specifying, say, INSERT privilege on a view to be copied into a derived UPDATE query without changing meaning. Per recent discussion thread. initdb forced due to change of stored rule representation.
2004-01-14Revert ill-starred change of 13-Feb-02: it appeared to fix a problem ofTom Lane
incorrect permissions checking, but in fact disabled most all permissions checks for view updates. This corrects problems reported by Sergey Yatskevich among others, at the cost of re-introducing the problem previously reported by Tim Burgess. However, since we'd lived with that problem for quite awhile without knowing it, we can live with it awhile longer until a proper fix can be made in 7.5.
2003-11-29$Header: -> $PostgreSQL Changes ...PostgreSQL Daemon
2003-11-12Cross-data-type comparisons are now indexable by btrees, pursuant to myTom Lane
pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support. The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event; it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
2003-11-09Add operator strategy and comparison-value datatype fields to ScanKey.Tom Lane
Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the first place is simpler and faster. This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize() API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those changes before the tree drifts under me.
2003-10-20It is possible for ResolveNew to be used to insert a sublink into aTom Lane
subquery that didn't previously have one. We have traditionally made the caller of ResolveNew responsible for updating the hasSubLinks flag of the outermost query, but this fails to account for hasSubLinks in subqueries. Fix ResolveNew to handle this. We might later want to change the calling convention of ResolveNew so that it can fix the outer query too, simplifying callers. But I went with the localized fix for now. Per bug report from J Smith, 20-Oct-03.

2003-09-25Message editing: remove gratuitous variations in message wording, standardizePeter Eisentraut
terms, add some clarifications, fix some untranslatable attempts at dynamic message building.
2003-09-17Disallow converting a table to a view if it has triggers, indexes, orTom Lane
child tables --- all cases that will trip various sanity checks elsewhere in the system, as well as cases that should not occur in the only intended use of this feature, namely coping with ancient pg_dump representation of views. Per bug report from Chris Pizzi.
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().

2003-08-01Adjust 'permission denied' messages to be more useful and consistent.Tom Lane
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.

2003-07-16Add 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.

2003-06-06Implement outer-level aggregates to conform to the SQL spec, withTom Lane
extensions to support our historical behavior. An aggregate belongs to the closest query level of any of the variables in its argument, or the current query level if there are no variables (e.g., COUNT(*)). The implementation involves adding an agglevelsup field to Aggref, and treating outer aggregates like outer variables at planning time.
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.
2003-02-08Replace planner's representation of relation sets, per pghackers discussion.Tom Lane
Instead of Lists of integers, we now store variable-length bitmap sets. This should be faster as well as less error-prone.
2003-01-20IN clauses appearing at top level of WHERE can now be handled as joins.Tom Lane
There are two implementation techniques: the executor understands a new JOIN_IN jointype, which emits at most one matching row per left-hand row, or the result of the IN's sub-select can be fed through a DISTINCT filter and then joined as an ordinary relation. Along the way, some minor code cleanup in the optimizer; notably, break out most of the jointree-rearrangement preprocessing in planner.c and put it in a new file prep/prepjointree.c.
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.
2002-12-05More cleanup of userid to be AclId rather than Oid.Bruce Momjian
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.

2002-09-02CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW, CREATE OR REPLACE RULE.Tom Lane
Gavin Sherry, Neil Conway, and Tom Lane all got their hands dirty on this one ...
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.
2002-08-05Restructure system-catalog index updating logic. Instead of havingTom Lane
hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table. This reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single line, makes it much easier to add a new system index (in fact, you can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit improves performance a little. Per recent pghackers discussion.
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.
2002-07-20oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian
bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar
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
2002-07-16Add code to extract dependencies from an expression tree, and use itTom Lane
to build dependencies for rules, constraint expressions, and default expressions. Repair some problems in the original design of recursiveDeletion() exposed by more complex dependency sets. Fix regression tests that were deleting things in illegal sequences.
2002-07-12Second phase of committing Rod Taylor's pg_depend/pg_constraint patch.Tom Lane
pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint. pg_depend exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP; however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies. (Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.

2002-05-21Remove global variable scanCommandId in favor of storing a command IDTom Lane
in snapshots, per my proposal of a few days ago. Also, tweak heapam.c routines (heap_insert, heap_update, heap_delete, heap_mark4update) to be passed the command ID to use, instead of doing GetCurrentCommandID. For catalog updates they'll still get passed current command ID, but for updates generated from the main executor they'll get passed the command ID saved in the snapshot the query is using. This should fix some corner cases associated with functions and triggers that advance current command ID while an outer query is still in progress.
2002-05-20Restructure indexscan API (index_beginscan, index_getnext) perTom Lane
yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.
