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.

2002-09-03Remove all traces of multibyte and locale options. Clean up commentsPeter Eisentraut
referring to "multibyte" where it really means character encoding.
2002-08-29Remove #ifdef MULTIBYTE per hackers list discussion.Tatsuo Ishii
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.

2002-04-11Restructure 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.
2002-03-09Code review for improved-hashing patch. Fix some portability issuesTom Lane
(char != unsigned char, Datum != uint32); make use of new hash code in dynahash hash tables and hash joins.

encodings.
2001-11-08Add casts to suppress compiler warnings observed on Darwin platformTom Lane
(surprised no one has reported these yet...)
2001-10-25pgindent run on all C files. Java run to follow. initdb/regressionBruce Momjian
tests pass.
2001-10-06Rearrange fmgr.c and relcache so that it's possible to keep FmgrInfoTom Lane
lookup info in the relcache for index access method support functions. This makes a huge difference for dynamically loaded support functions, and should save a few cycles even for built-in ones. Also tweak dfmgr.c so that load_external_function is called only once, not twice, when doing fmgr_info for a dynamically loaded function. All per performance gripe from Teodor Sigaev, 5-Oct-01.
2001-10-03Implement precision support for timestamp and time, both with and withoutThomas G. Lockhart
time zones. SQL99 spec requires a default of zero (round to seconds) which is set in gram.y as typmod is set in the parse tree. We *could* change to a default of either 6 (for internal compatibility with previous versions) or 2 (for external compatibility with previous versions). Evaluate entries in pg_proc wrt the iscachable attribute for timestamp and other date/time types. Try to recognize cases where side effects like the current time zone setting may have an effect on results to decide whether something is cachable or not.
2001-09-11Implement following item in TODO:Tatsuo Ishii
* Reject character sequences those are not valid in their charset
2001-07-15TODO item:Tatsuo Ishii
* Make n of CHAR(n)/VARCHAR(n) the number of letters, not bytes
2001-06-09Allow GRANT/REVOKE to/from more than one user per invocation. Command tagPeter Eisentraut
for GRANT/REVOKE is now just that, not "CHANGE". On the way, migrate some of the aclitem internal representation away from the parser and build a real parse tree instead. Also add some 'const' qualifiers.
2001-06-01New improved version of bpcharin() may have got the truncation caseTom Lane
right, but it failed to get the padding case right. This was obscured by subsequent application of bpchar() in all but one regression test case, and that one didn't fail in an obvious way --- trailing blanks are hard to see. Add another test case to make it more obvious if it breaks again.
2001-05-21Make char(n) and varchar(n) types raise an error if the inserted string isPeter Eisentraut
too long. While I was adjusting the regression tests I moved the array things all into array.sql, to make things more manageable.
2001-05-03Ensure that btree sort ordering functions and boolean comparison operatorsTom Lane
give consistent results for all datatypes. Types float4, float8, and numeric were broken for NaN values; abstime, timestamp, and interval were broken for INVALID values; timetz was just plain broken (some possible pairs of values were neither < nor = nor >). Also clean up text, bpchar, varchar, and bit/varbit to eliminate duplicate code and thereby reduce the probability of similar inconsistencies arising in the future.

2001-03-22pgindent run. Make it all clean.Bruce Momjian
2001-02-10Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: thereTom Lane
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand. Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

2000-12-08Repair erroneous use of hashvarlena() for MACADDR, which is not aTom Lane
varlena type. (I did not force initdb, but you won't see the fix unless you do one.) Also, make sure all index support operators and functions are careful not to leak memory for toasted inputs; I had missed some hash and rtree support ops on this point before.
2000-11-26Fix for inserting/copying longer multibyte strings into bpchar dataTatsuo Ishii
types.
2000-11-21Put external declarations into header files.Peter Eisentraut
2000-07-29bpchar, varchar, bytea, numeric are toastable --- if you initdb, whichTom Lane
I did not force. I marked numeric as compressable-but-not-move-off-able, partly to test that storage mode and partly because I've got doubts that numerics are large enough to need external storage.
2000-07-07Fix misuse of StrNCpy to copy and add null to non-null-terminated data.Tom Lane
Does not work since it fetches one byte beyond the source data, and when the phase of the moon is wrong, the source data is smack up against the end of backend memory and you get SIGSEGV. Don't laugh, this is a fix for an actual user bug report.

2000-06-19Clean up bogosities in pg_opclass, pg_amop, pg_amproc. There are amprocTom Lane
entries now for int8 and network hash indexes. int24_ops and int42_ops are gone. pg_opclass no longer contains multiple entries claiming to be the default opclass for the same datatype. opr_sanity regress test extended to catch errors like these in the future.
2000-06-15Clean up #include's.Bruce Momjian
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 ...
2000-06-05Latest round of fmgr updates. All functions with bool,char, or int2Tom Lane
inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still more to do for the Alpha port however.

2000-03-13Remove unnecessary limitations on lengths of bpchar and varchar constants.Tom Lane
Since we detect oversize tuples elsewhere, I see no reason not to allow string constants that are 'too long' --- after all, they might never get stored in a tuple at all.
