2008-11-19Fix compiler warning "res may be used uninitialized in this function".Teodor Sigaev
Actually, it can't but some compilers are not smart enough. Per Peter Eisentraut gripe.
2008-11-17Replace plain-memory ordered array by binary tree in ts_stat() function.Teodor Sigaev
Performance is increased from 50% up to 10^3 times depending on data.
2008-11-14Actually, instead of whining about how type internal might not safely storeTom Lane
a pointer, why don't we just fix that. Every known use of "internal" really means a pointer anyway.
2008-11-14Implement the basic form of UNNEST, ie unnest(anyarray) returns setofTom Lane
anyelement. This lacks the WITH ORDINALITY option, as well as the multiple input arrays option added in the most recent SQL specs. But it's still a pretty useful subset of the spec's functionality, and it is enough to allow obsoleting contrib/intagg.
2008-11-14Minor code clarity improvements in array_agg functions, and add a commentTom Lane
about how this is playing fast and loose with the type system.
2008-11-13array_agg aggregate function, as per SQL:2008, but without ORDER BY clausePeter Eisentraut
Rearrange the documentation a bit now that array_agg and xmlagg have similar semantics and issues. best of Robert Haas, Jeff Davis, Peter Eisentraut
2008-11-12array_length() function, and for SQL compatibility also cardinality()Peter Eisentraut
function as a special case. This version still has the suspicious behavior of returning null for an empty array (rather than zero), but this may need a wholesale revision of empty array behavior, currently under discussion. Jim Nasby, Robert Haas, Peter Eisentraut
2008-11-12Clean up the ancient decision to show only two fractional-seconds digitsTom Lane
in "postgres_verbose" intervalstyle, and the equally arbitrary decision to show at least two fractional-seconds digits in most other datetime display styles. This results in some minor changes in the expected regression test outputs. Also, coalesce a lot of repetitive code in datetime.c into subroutines, for clarity and ease of maintenance. In particular this roughly halves the number of #ifdef HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP segments. Ron Mayer, with some additional kibitzing from Tom Lane
2008-11-11Add support for input and output of interval values formatted per ISO 8601;Tom Lane
specifically, we can input either the "format with designators" or the "alternative format", and we can output the former when IntervalStyle is set to iso_8601. Ron Mayer
2008-11-10Fix a case of string building.Alvaro Herrera
2008-11-10Fix bugs in sqlchar_to_unicode and unicode_to_sqlchar: both were measuringTom Lane
the length of a UTF8 character with pg_mblen (wrong if DB encoding isn't UTF8), and the latter was blithely assuming that a static buffer would somehow revert to all zeroes for each use.
2008-11-10Fix 'Q' format char parsing in the new to_timestamp() code. Used to crash.Heikki Linnakangas
2008-11-09Add a new GUC variable called "IntervalStyle" that decouples interval outputTom Lane
from DateStyle, and create a new interval style that produces output matching the SQL standard (at least for interval values that fall within the standard's restrictions). IntervalStyle is also used to resolve the conflict between the standard and traditional Postgres rules for interpreting negative interval input. Ron Mayer
2008-11-08Fix recently added code for SQL years-months interval syntax so thatTom Lane
it behaves correctly for a leading minus sign, zero year value, and nonzero month value. Per discussion with Ron Mayer.
2008-11-05This maneuver really requires a comment ...Tom Lane
2008-11-05change fix for suppress_redundant_updates_trigger() where relation has Oids, ↵Andrew Dunstan
to only apply if present Oid is invalid, per second thought from TGL

2008-11-04Fix compiler warnings (including a seriously bogus elog call); minorTom Lane
code beautification.
2008-11-03Use bool for a boolean flag.Tom Lane
2008-11-03Allow uuid_in() to parse a wider variety of variant input formats for the UUIDPeter Eisentraut
data type. This patch takes the approach of allowing an optional hyphen after each group of four hex digits. Author: Robert Haas <robertmhaas@gmail.com>
2008-11-03suppress_redundant_updates_trigger function.Andrew Dunstan
2008-11-03Add pg_typeof() function.Tom Lane
Brendan Jurd
2008-11-02Remove all uses of the deprecated functions heap_formtuple, heap_modifytuple,Tom Lane
and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al (which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary char values). Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions, reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones. We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still contain many instances of the old coding style. Kris Jurka
2008-10-29Unicode escapes in strings and identifiersPeter Eisentraut
2008-10-23When estimating without benefit of MCV lists (suggesting that one or bothTom Lane
inputs is unique or nearly so), make eqjoinsel() clamp the ndistinct estimates to be not more than the estimated number of rows coming from the input relations. This allows the estimate to change in response to the selectivity of restriction conditions on the inputs. This is a pretty narrow patch and maybe we should be more aggressive about similarly clamping ndistinct in other cases; but I'm worried about double-counting the effects of the restriction conditions. However, it seems to help for the case exhibited by Grzegorz Jaskiewicz (antijoin against a small subset of a relation), so let's try this for awhile.
2008-10-21Add a concept of "placeholder" variables to the planner. These are variablesTom Lane
that represent some expression that we desire to compute below the top level of the plan, and then let that value "bubble up" as though it were a plain Var (ie, a column value). The immediate application is to allow sub-selects to be flattened even when they are below an outer join and have non-nullable output expressions. Formerly we couldn't flatten because such an expression wouldn't properly go to NULL when evaluated above the outer join. Now, we wrap it in a PlaceHolderVar and arrange for the actual evaluation to occur below the outer join. When the resulting Var bubbles up through the join, it will be set to NULL if necessary, yielding the correct results. This fixes a planner limitation that's existed since 7.1. In future we might want to use this mechanism to re-introduce some form of Hellerstein's "expensive functions" optimization, ie place the evaluation of an expensive function at the most suitable point in the plan tree.
2008-10-14Extend the date type to support infinity and -infinity, analogously toTom Lane
the timestamp types. Turns out this doesn't even reduce the available range of dates, since the restriction to dates that work for Julian-date arithmetic is much tighter than the int32 range anyway. Per a longstanding TODO item.
2008-10-14Fix EncodeSpecialTimestamp to throw error on unrecognized input, rather thanTom Lane
returning a failure code that none of its callers bothered to check for.
2008-10-13Implement comparison of generic records (composite types), and invent aTom Lane
pseudo-type record[] to represent arrays of possibly-anonymous composite types. Since composite datums carry their own type identification, no extra knowledge is needed at the array level. The main reason for doing this right now is that it is necessary to support the general case of detection of cycles in recursive queries: if you need to compare more than one column to detect a cycle, you need to compare a ROW() to an array built from ROW()s, at least if you want to do it as the spec suggests. Add some documentation and regression tests concerning the cycle detection issue.
2008-10-09Fix crash in bytea-to-XML mapping when the source value is toasted.Tom Lane
Report and fix by Michael McMaster. Some minor code beautification by me, also avoid memory leaks in the special-case paths.
2008-10-06Fix up ruleutils.c for CTE features. The main problem was thatTom Lane
get_name_for_var_field didn't have enough context to interpret a reference to a CTE query's output. Fixing this requires separate hacks for the regular deparse case (pg_get_ruledef) and for the EXPLAIN case, since the available context information is quite different. It's pretty nearly parallel to the existing code for SUBQUERY RTEs, though. Also, add code to make sure we qualify a relation name that matches a CTE name; else the CTE will mistakenly capture the reference when reloading the rule. In passing, fix a pre-existing problem with get_name_for_var_field not working on variables in targetlists of SubqueryScan plan nodes. Although latent all along, this wasn't a problem until we made EXPLAIN VERBOSE try to print targetlists. To do this, refactor the deparse_context_for_plan API so that the special case for SubqueryScan is all on ruleutils.c's side.
2008-10-06When expanding a whole-row Var into a RowExpr during ResolveNew(), attachTom Lane
the column alias names of the RTE referenced by the Var to the RowExpr. This is needed to allow ruleutils.c to correctly deparse FieldSelect nodes referencing such a construct. Per my recent bug report. Adding a field to RowExpr forces initdb (because of stored rules changes) so this solution is not back-patchable; which is unfortunate because 8.2 and 8.3 have this issue. But it only affects EXPLAIN for some pretty odd corner cases, so we can probably live without a solution for the back branches.
2008-10-06Use fork names instead of numbers in the file names for additionalHeikki Linnakangas
relation forks. While the file names are not visible to users, for those that do peek into the data directory, it's nice to have more descriptive names. Per Greg Stark's suggestion.
2008-10-06Random speculation about the reason for PPC64 buildfarm failures:Tom Lane
maybe isalnum is returning a value with the low-order byte all zero?
2008-10-05Tweak the overflow checks in integer division functions to complain if theTom Lane
machine produces zero (rather than the more usual minimum-possible-integer) for the only possible overflow case. This has been seen to occur for at least some word widths on some hardware, and it's cheap enough to check for everywhere. Per Peter's analysis of buildfarm reports. This could be back-patched, but in the absence of any gripes from the field I doubt it's worth the trouble.
2008-10-05Remove obsolete internal functions istrue, isfalse, isnottrue, isnotfalse,Peter Eisentraut
nullvalue, nonvalue. A long time ago, these were used to implement the SQL constructs IS TRUE, etc.
2008-10-04Implement SQL-standard WITH clauses, including WITH RECURSIVE.Tom Lane
There are some unimplemented aspects: recursive queries must use UNION ALL (should allow UNION too), and we don't have SEARCH or CYCLE clauses. These might or might not get done for 8.4, but even without them it's a pretty useful feature. There are also a couple of small loose ends and definitional quibbles, which I'll send a memo about to pgsql-hackers shortly. But let's land the patch now so we can get on with other development. Yoshiyuki Asaba, with lots of help from Tatsuo Ishii and Tom Lane
2008-10-03Add relation fork support to pg_relation_size() function. You can now passHeikki Linnakangas
name of a fork ('main' or 'fsm', at the moment) to pg_relation_size() to get the size of a specific fork. Defaults to 'main', if none given. While we're at it, modify pg_relation_size to take a regclass as argument, instead of separate variants taking oid and name. This change is transparent to typical use where the table name is passed as a string literal, like pg_relation_size('table'), but will break queries like pg_relation_size(namecol), where namecol is of type name. text-type input still works, and using a non-schema-qualified table name is not very reliable anyway, so this is unlikely to break anyone's queries in practice.
2008-10-02Fix improper display of fractional seconds in interval valuesTom Lane
when using --enable-integer-datetimes and a non-ISO datestyle. Ron Mayer
2008-09-28Dept of second thoughts: let's make sure that get_index_stats_hook is onlyTom Lane
applied to expression indexes, not to plain relations. The original coding in btcostestimate conflated the two cases, but it's not hard to use get_relation_stats_hook instead when we're looking to the underlying relation.
2008-09-28Add hooks to let plugins override the planner's lookups in pg_statistic.Tom Lane
Simon Riggs, with some editorialization by me.
2008-09-27Compare escaped chars case insensitively for ILIKE - per gripe from TGL.Andrew Dunstan
2008-09-26Fix pointer-advancement bugs in MS and US cases of new to_timestamp() code.Tom Lane
Alex Hunsaker
2008-09-26Make LIKE throw an error if the escape character is at the end of the patternTom Lane
(ie, has nothing to quote), rather than silently ignoring the character as has been our historical behavior. This is required by SQL spec and should help reduce the sort of user confusion seen in bug #4436. Per discussion. This is not so much a bug fix as a definitional change, and it could break existing applications; so not back-patched. It might deserve being mentioned as an incompatibility in the 8.4 release notes.
2008-09-24Fix integral timestamps so the output is consistent in all cases toBruce Momjian
round: select interval '0:0:0.7', interval '@ 0.70 secs', interval '0.7 seconds'; Ron Mayer
2008-09-23Make LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE database-level settings. Collation andHeikki Linnakangas
ctype are now more like encoding, stored in new datcollate and datctype columns in pg_database. This is a stripped-down version of Radek Strnad's patch, with further changes by me.
2008-09-16Clean up a couple of weird corner cases in interval parsing: make -yyyy-mm beTom Lane
interpreted as expected (the sign should affect months too), and get rid of hard-wired assumption that unmarked signed values must be hours (if integers) or seconds (if floats). The former was just a bug in my previous patch, while the latter may have made sense at one time but seems illogical now that we support determination of the units from typmod information. Ron Mayer and myself.
2008-09-16Fix multiple memory leaks in xml_out(). Per report from Matt Magoffin.Tom Lane
2008-09-15Fix caching of foreign-key-checking queries so that when a replan is needed,Tom Lane
we regenerate the SQL query text not merely the plan derived from it. This is needed to handle contingencies such as renaming of a table or column used in an FK. Pre-8.3, such cases worked despite the lack of replanning (because the cached plan needn't actually change), so this is a regression. Per bug #4417 from Benjamin Bihler.
