terms, add some clarifications, fix some untranslatable attempts at dynamic message building.
2003-08-17Create a 'type cache' that keeps track of the data needed for any particularTom Lane
datatype by array_eq and array_cmp; use this to solve problems with memory leaks in array indexing support. The parser's equality_oper and ordering_oper routines also use the cache. Change the operator search algorithms to look for appropriate btree or hash index opclasses, instead of assuming operators named '<' or '=' have the right semantics. (ORDER BY ASC/DESC now also look at opclasses, instead of assuming '<' and '>' are the right things.) Add several more index opclasses so that there is no regression in functionality for base datatypes. initdb forced due to catalog additions.
2003-08-15Rewrite array_cmp to not depend on deconstruct_array. Should be a littleTom Lane
faster, but more importantly does not leak memory. Still needs more work though, per my recent note to pgsql-hackers.

the bulk of the heavy lifting ...
2003-07-01SQL functions can have arguments and results declared ANYARRAY orTom Lane
ANYELEMENT. The effect is to postpone typechecking of the function body until runtime. Documentation is still lacking. Original patch by Joe Conway, modified to postpone type checking by Tom Lane.
2003-06-27Create real array comparison functions (that use the element datatype'sTom Lane
comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq. Create a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes on array columns. Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call. Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions. Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become supported functions. Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or zero-dimensional arrays. Joe Conway (with some editorializing by Tom Lane).

2003-05-09Implement array_send/array_recv (binary I/O for arrays). This exposedTom Lane
the folly of not passing element type to typsend/typreceive, so fix that.
2003-05-08Reinstate pg_type's typsend and typreceive columns. They don't do muchTom Lane
yet, but they're there. Also some editorial work on CREATE TYPE reference page.
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.
2003-01-29Tweak ArrayCount() to forestall possible access to temp[-1]. ProblemTom Lane
cannot actually happen at present because ArrayCount() is only called on strings beginning with '{', but seems best to prevent it going forward. Per report from Yichen Xie.
2002-11-13Add new palloc0 call as merge of palloc and MemSet(0).Bruce Momjian
2002-11-11Back out use of palloc0 in place if palloc/MemSet. Seems constant lenBruce Momjian
to MemSet is a performance boost.
2002-11-10Merge palloc()/MemSet(0) calls into a single palloc0() call.Bruce Momjian
2002-11-08The "Allow easy display of usernames in a group (pg_hba.conf uses groupsBruce Momjian
now)" item on the open items, and subsequent plpgsql function I sent in, made me realize it was too hard to get the upper and lower bound of an array. The attached creates two functions that I think will be very useful when combined with the ability of plpgsql to return sets. array_lower(array, dim_num) - and - array_upper(array, dim_num) They return the value (as an int) of the upper and lower bound of the requested dim in the provided array. Joe Conway
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.

2002-08-26Modify 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.
2002-06-20Update copyright to 2002.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-20Tweak behavior of array slicing operations: seems like it ought to beTom Lane
okay to omit low-order dimensions when accessing an array slice.
2002-03-16Try to make array_in's behavior a tad less bizarre. Leading whitespaceTom Lane
before a data item is now always skipped, rather than only sometimes. Backslashes not within double-quoted text are treated reasonably, as are multiple sequences of quoted text in a single data item. But it still seems rather prone to misbehavior if the input is not completely syntactically correct --- in particular, garbage following a right brace will be ignored.
2002-03-02Array slice extraction should produce a result array with index lowerTom Lane
bounds of 1, not the lower bound subscripts of the original slice. Per bug report from Andre Holzner, 1-Feb-02.
2002-03-01array_ref() should set isNull to false explicitly if it's not going toPeter Eisentraut
return NULL.
2002-02-18Remove MAX/MIN() macros, use c.h Max/Min() instead.Bruce Momjian
2001-11-29Fix array_out's failure to backslash backslashes, per bug# 524. Also,Tom Lane
remove brain-dead rule that double quotes are needed if and only if the datatype is pass-by-reference; neither direction of the implication holds water. Instead, examine the actual data string to see if it contains any characters that force us to quote it. Add some documentation about quoting of array values, which was previously explained nowhere AFAICT.

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.
2000-12-03Ensure that all uses of <ctype.h> functions are applied to unsigned-charTom Lane
values, whether the local char type is signed or not. This is necessary for portability. Per discussion on pghackers around 9/16/00.
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.
2000-11-14Clean up array-dimensions parser a bit.Tom Lane
This code still needs a lot of love, however ...
2000-07-27Ensure that values stored within arrays are not toasted, perTom Lane
discussion on pghackers a few days ago.
2000-07-23Further cleanup of array behavior. Slice assignments to arrays withTom Lane
varlena elements work now. Allow assignment to previously-nonexistent subscript position to extend array, but only for 1-D arrays and only if adjacent to existing positions (could do more if we had a way to represent nulls in arrays, but I don't want to tackle that now). Arrange for assignment of NULL to an array element in UPDATE to be a no-op, rather than setting the entire array to NULL as it used to. (Throwing an error would be a reasonable alternative, but it's never done that...) Update regress test accordingly.
2000-07-22Arrays are toastable. (At least if you initdb, which I didn't force.)Tom Lane
Remove a bunch of crufty code for large-object-based arrays, which is superseded by TOAST and likely hasn't worked in a long time anyway. Clean up array code a little, and in particular eliminate its habit of scribbling on the input array (ie, modifying the input tuple :-().
2000-07-17Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers.Tom Lane
There's now only one transition value and transition function. NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner. Also, use Numeric accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower. Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend. Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default. Unrelated change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...

WARNING: This is actually broken - we have self-deadlocks due to concurrent changes in buffer management. Vadim and me are working on it. Jan
2000-06-14Big warnings cleanup for Solaris/GCC. Down to about 40 now, butPeter Eisentraut
we'll get there one day. Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't have automake installed. Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically because of CVS timestamp skew.
2000-06-14I had overlooked the fact that some fmgr-callable functions return voidTom Lane
--- ie, they're only called for side-effects. Add a PG_RETURN_VOID() macro and use it where appropriate. This probably doesn't change the machine code by a single bit ... it's just for documentation.
2000-06-13Another batch of fmgr updates. I think I have gotten all old-styleTom Lane
functions that take pass-by-value datatypes. Should be ready for port testing ...
2000-06-09Another round of updates for new fmgr, mostly in the datetime code.Tom Lane
2000-06-02Remove NT-specific file open defines by defining our own open macros forBruce Momjian
"rb" and "wb".
2000-05-30Third round of fmgr updates: eliminate calls using fmgr() andTom Lane
fmgr_faddr() in favor of new-style calls. Lots of cleanup of sloppy casts to use XXXGetDatum and DatumGetXXX ...

2000-01-15Fix a passel of problems with incorrect calls to typinput and typoutputTom Lane
functions, which would lead to trouble with datatypes that paid attention to the typelem or typmod parameters to these functions. In particular, incorrect code in pg_aggregate.c explains the platform-specific failures that have been reported in NUMERIC avg().
