2002-04-28Make ruleutils.c use format_type for printing typenames. Minor tweaksTom Lane
in quoting rules and recognition of implicit type coercions.
2002-04-25Implement types regprocedure, regoper, regoperator, regclass, regtypeTom Lane
per pghackers discussion. Add some more typsanity tests, and clean up some problems exposed thereby (broken or missing array types for some built-in types). Also, clean up loose ends from unknownin/out patch.
2002-04-19Change naming rule for ON SELECT rules of views: they're all justTom Lane
_RETURN now, since there's no need to keep 'em unique anymore.
2002-04-18Rule names are now unique per-relation, rather than unique globally.Tom Lane
DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax adds an 'ON tablename' clause, similar to TRIGGER syntaxes. To allow loading of existing pg_dump files containing COMMENT ON RULE, the COMMENT code will still accept the old syntax --- but only if the target rulename is unique across the whole database.
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.
2002-03-22A 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.
2002-03-21First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar andTom Lane
the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command. No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
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.
2002-03-06Modify ALTER TABLE OWNER to change index ownership; code cleanup.Bruce Momjian

2002-03-06Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.
2002-02-19A bunch of changes aimed at reducing backend startup time...Tom Lane
Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed. Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during relcache load. Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi, move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and does not need any expensive initialization. Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan (this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).
2001-11-26Change display of FieldSelect nodes from arg.field to field(arg),Tom Lane
per bug report from Stefan Hadjistoytchev. There are some cases where the dot notation works, but there are more where it doesn't. Eventually ought to consider fixing the parser to allow cases like func().field, but for now this is the simplest patch.
2001-11-26Repair problem with listing rules that have a WHERE condition andTom Lane
have an INSERT...SELECT as the first or only action. Per bug report from Sergio Pili.
2001-11-19Tweak format_type so that we get good behavior for both column typeTom Lane
display (with a typemod) and function arg/result type display (without a typemod).
2001-10-25pgindent run on all C files. Java run to follow. initdb/regressionBruce Momjian
tests pass.
2001-10-08Fix ruleutils to depend on format_type, rather than having a privateTom Lane
copy of code that knows about displaying types with typmod info. Needed so that it does the right thing with timestamp datatypes now.
2001-10-04Ooops, I was a little too enthusiastic about suppressing defaultTom Lane
index opclasses; they might be default for some other datatype, in which case we mustn't suppress 'em.
2001-10-01Extend pg_get_indexdef() to know about index predicates. Also, tweakTom Lane
it to suppress index opclass output for opclasses that are the default for their datatype; only non-default opclasses are shown explicitly. This is expected to improve portability of the CREATE INDEX command across future versions of Postgres --- we've changed index opclasses too often in the past to think we won't do so again.
2001-08-12Make ALTER TABLE RENAME on a view rename the view's on-select rule too.Tom Lane
Needed to keep pg_dump from getting confused.
2001-07-31Fix optimizer to not try to push WHERE clauses down into a sub-SELECT thatTom Lane
has a DISTINCT ON clause, per bug report from Anthony Wood. While at it, improve the DISTINCT-ON-clause recognizer routine to not be fooled by out- of-order DISTINCT lists.
2001-07-16Partial indexes work again, courtesy of Martijn van Oosterhout.Tom Lane
Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough. However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.
2001-07-10Remove unnecessarily enthusiastic parenthesizing in reverse-listing ofTom Lane
IS NULL, IS TRUE, and friends (my fault...)
2001-06-19Add IS UNKNOWN, IS NOT UNKNOWN boolean tests, fix the existing booleanTom Lane
tests to return the correct results per SQL9x when given NULL inputs. Reimplement these tests as well as IS [NOT] NULL to have their own expression node types, instead of depending on special functions. From Joe Conway, with a little help from Tom Lane.
2001-04-18Make rule lister do the right thing with Vars representing whole tuples.Tom Lane
2001-04-15Constant expressions that appear in ORDER BY, GROUP BY, DISTINCT ONTom Lane
lists should be reverse-compiled into targetlist index numbers, because that's the only interpretation the parser allows for a constant in these clauses. (Ergo, the only way they could have gotten into the list in the first place is to have come from the targetlist; so this should always work.) Per problem report from Peter E.
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
2001-02-21Change case-folding of keywords to conform to SQL99 and fix misbehaviorTom Lane
in Turkish locale. Keywords are now checked under pure ASCII case-folding rules ('A'-'Z'->'a'-'z' and nothing else). However, once a word is determined not to be a keyword, it will be case-folded under the current locale, same as before. See pghackers discussion 20-Feb-01.
2001-02-14Change scoping of table and join refnames to conform to SQL92: a JOINTom Lane
clause with an alias is a <subquery> and therefore hides table references appearing within it, according to the spec. This is the same as the preliminary patch I posted to pgsql-patches yesterday, plus some really grotty code in ruleutils.c to reverse-list a query tree with the correct alias name depending on context. I'd rather not have done that, but unless we want to force another initdb for 7.1, there's no other way for now.
2001-01-03Fix breakage of rules using NOTIFY actions, per bug report and patchTom Lane
from sergiop@sinectis.com.ar.
2000-11-18Suppress 'comparison-is-always-true' warning on machinesTom Lane
where char is signed by default.
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.
2000-11-05Allow ORDER BY, LIMIT in sub-selects. Fix most (not all) cases whereTom Lane
the grammar did not allow redundant parentheses around sub-selects. Distinguish LIMIT ALL from LIMIT 0; make the latter behave as one would expect.
2000-10-26Re-implement LIMIT/OFFSET as a plan node type, instead of a hack inTom Lane
ExecutorRun. This allows LIMIT to work in a view. Also, LIMIT in a cursor declaration will behave in a reasonable fashion, whereas before it was overridden by the FETCH count.
2000-10-05Fix silly typo that led to 'tleIsArrayAssign: I'm confused' message.Tom Lane
Indeed it was.
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!
2000-09-25Use variable aliases, if supplied, rather than real column names inTom Lane
complaints about ungrouped variables. This is for consistency with behavior elsewhere, notably the fact that the relname is reported as an alias in these same complaints. Also, it'll work with subselect- in-FROM where old code didn't.
2000-09-18Make rule lister use aliases from FROM clause when a table column hasTom Lane
been given an alias. Otherwise, results are incorrect.
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!
2000-09-12O.K. -Bruce Momjian
Here's the multibyte aware version of my patch to fix the truncation of the rulename autogenerated during a CREATE VIEW. I've modified all the places in the backend that want to construct the rulename to use the MakeRetrieveViewRuleName(), where I put the #ifdef MULTIBYTE, so that's the only place that knows how to construct a view rulename. Except pg_dump, where I replicated the code, since it's a standalone binary. The only effect the enduser will see is that views with names len(name) > NAMEDATALEN-4 will fail to be created, if the derived rulename clases with an existing rule: i.e. the user is trying to create two views with long names whose first difference is past NAMEDATALEN-4 (but before NAMEDATALEN: that'll error out after the viewname truncation.) In no case will the user get left with a table without a view rule, as the current code does. Ross Reedstrom
2000-08-12Fix ruleutils to produce correct output for array assignment, suchTom Lane
as UPDATE foo SET arr[3] = 42.
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.
2000-07-06Correct unsafe use of strcmp(). See rant of same date posted to pghackers.Tom Lane
2000-07-06Functions on 'text' type updated to new fmgr style. 'text' isTom Lane
now TOAST-able.
