2006-03-03Add comment about localized month names for to_date and to_timestamp.Bruce Momjian
2006-03-02Repair oidvectorrecv and int2vectorrecv, which I broke while changingTom Lane
them to use array_recv :-(. Per report from Tim Kordas.
2006-03-01Attached is a patch that replaces a bunch of places where StringInfosNeil Conway
are unnecessarily allocated on the heap rather than the stack. If the StringInfo doesn't outlive the stack frame in which it is created, there is no need to allocate it on the heap via makeStringInfo() -- stack allocation is faster. While it's not a big deal unless the code is in a critical path, I don't see a reason not to save a few cycles -- using stack allocation is not less readable. I also cleaned up a bit of code along the way: moved variable declarations into a more tightly-enclosing scope where possible, fixed some pointless copying of strings in dblink, etc.
2006-02-28Allow the syntax CREATE TYPE foo, with no parameters, to permit explicitTom Lane
creation of a shell type. This allows a less hacky way of dealing with the mutual dependency between a datatype and its I/O functions: make a shell type, then make the functions, then define the datatype fully. We should fix pg_dump to handle things this way, but this commit just deals with the backend. Martijn van Oosterhout, with some corrections by Tom Lane.
2006-02-27Add mention that tid perhaps someday should be output as a record.Bruce Momjian
2006-02-26Implement the <> operator for the tid type. Original patch from MarkNeil Conway
Kirkwood, minor improvements by Neil Conway. The regression tests have been updated and the catversion has been bumped.
2006-02-26Fix typo in comment.Neil Conway
2006-02-12Revert because C locale uses "" for thousands_sep, meaning "n/a", whileBruce Momjian
French uses "" for "don't want". Seems we have to keep the existing behavior.
2006-02-12Support "" for thousands separator and plus sign in to_char(), perBruce Momjian
report from French Debian user. psql already handles "" fine.
2006-02-12Allow to_char() to print localized month and day names.Bruce Momjian

2006-02-07Source code cleanup.Bruce Momjian
2006-02-07I think that NUMERIC datatype has a problem in the performance thatBruce Momjian
the format on Tuple(Numeric) and the format to calculate(NumericVar) are different. I understood that to reduce I/O. However, when many comparisons or calculations of NUMERIC are executed, the conversion of Numeric and NumericVar becomes a bottleneck. It is profile result when "create index on NUMERIC column" is executed: % cumulative self self total time seconds seconds calls s/call s/call name 17.61 10.27 10.27 34542006 0.00 0.00 cmp_numerics 11.90 17.21 6.94 34542006 0.00 0.00 comparetup_index 7.42 21.54 4.33 71102587 0.00 0.00 AllocSetAlloc 7.02 25.64 4.09 69084012 0.00 0.00 set_var_from_num 4.87 28.48 2.84 69084012 0.00 0.00 alloc_var 4.79 31.27 2.79 142205745 0.00 0.00 AllocSetFreeIndex 4.55 33.92 2.65 34542004 0.00 0.00 cmp_abs 4.07 36.30 2.38 71101189 0.00 0.00 AllocSetFree 3.83 38.53 2.23 69084012 0.00 0.00 free_var The create index command executes many comparisons of Numeric values.

2006-02-03Update random() usage so ranges are inclusive/exclusive as required.Bruce Momjian
2006-01-26Suppress signed-vs-unsigned-char warning.Tom Lane
2006-01-26Fix display of whole-row Var appearing at the top level of a SELECT list.Tom Lane
While we normally prefer the notation "foo.*" for a whole-row Var, that does not work at SELECT top level, because in that context the parser will assume that what is wanted is to expand the "*" into a list of separate target columns, yielding behavior different from a whole-row Var. We have to emit just "foo" instead in that context. Per report from Sokolov Yura.
2006-01-26Clean up the INET-vs-CIDR situation. Get rid of the internal is_cidr flagTom Lane
and rely exclusively on the SQL type system to tell the difference between the types. Prevent creation of invalid CIDR values via casting from INET or set_masklen() --- both of these operations now silently zero any bits to the right of the netmask. Remove duplicate CIDR comparison operators, letting the type rely on the INET operators instead.
2006-01-25Allow row comparisons to be used as indexscan qualifications.Tom Lane
This completes the project to upgrade our handling of row comparisons.
2006-01-25Update regression error message for NUMERIC range overflow. Display "1"Bruce Momjian
instead of 10^0.
2006-01-25Improve error message when NUMERIC precision is exceeded.Bruce Momjian
2006-01-23Prototype fix for typo.Bruce Momjian
2006-01-23Use is_cidr in INET/CIDR structure, rather than the generic 'type'.Bruce Momjian
2006-01-21Add GRANT ON SEQUENCE syntax to support sequence-only permissions.Bruce Momjian
Continue to support GRANT ON [TABLE] for sequences for backward compatibility; issue warning for invalid sequence permissions. [Backward compatibility warning message.] Add USAGE permission for sequences that allows only currval() and nextval(), not setval(). Mention object name in grant/revoke warnings because of possible multi-object operations.
2006-01-14Add selectivity-calculation code for RowCompareExpr nodes. Simplistic,Tom Lane
but a lot better than nothing at all ...
2006-01-11Create a standard function pg_sleep() to sleep for a specified amount of time.Tom Lane
Replace the former ad-hoc implementation used in the regression tests. Joachim Wieland
2006-01-11Cosmetic code cleanup: fix a bunch of places that used "return (expr);"Neil Conway
rather than "return expr;" -- the latter style is used in most of the tree. I kept the parentheses when they were necessary or useful because the return expression was complex.
2006-01-10Improve patternsel() by applying the operator itself to each valueTom Lane
listed in the column's most-common-values statistics entry. This gives us an exact selectivity result for the portion of the column population represented by the MCV list, which can be a big leg up in accuracy if that's a large fraction of the population. The heuristics involving pattern contents and prefix are applied only to the part of the population not included in the MCV list.
2006-01-02Don't assume that LC_MESSAGES is always available on WIN32. Per Magnus.Tom Lane
2005-12-30Repair EXPLAIN failure when trying to display a plan condition that involvesTom Lane
selection of a field from the result of a function returning RECORD. I believe this case is new in 8.1; it's due to the addition of OUT parameters. Per example from Michael Fuhr.
2005-12-28Arrange to set the LC_XXX environment variables to match our localeTom Lane
setup. This protects against undesired changes in locale behavior if someone carelessly does setlocale(LC_ALL, "") (and we know who you are, perl guys).
2005-12-28Mention "table" in "violates foreign key constraint" message that wasBruce Momjian
lacking it. Perhaps it was suppressed because of line length considerations, but "table" should appear.
2005-12-28Implement SQL-compliant treatment of row comparisons for < <= > >= casesTom Lane
(previously we only did = and <> correctly). Also, allow row comparisons with any operators that are in btree opclasses, not only those with these specific names. This gets rid of a whole lot of indefensible assumptions about the behavior of particular operators based on their names ... though it's still true that IN and NOT IN expand to "= ANY". The patch adds a RowCompareExpr expression node type, and makes some changes in the representation of ANY/ALL/ROWCOMPARE SubLinks so that they can share code with RowCompareExpr. I have not yet done anything about making RowCompareExpr an indexable operator, but will look at that soon. initdb forced due to changes in stored rules.
2005-12-25I have added these macros to c.h:Bruce Momjian
#define HIGHBIT (0x80) #define IS_HIGHBIT_SET(ch) ((unsigned char)(ch) & HIGHBIT) and removed CSIGNBIT and mapped it uses to HIGHBIT. I have also added uses for IS_HIGHBIT_SET where appropriate. This change is purely for code clarity.
2005-12-22Adjust string comparison so that only bitwise-equal strings are consideredTom Lane
equal: if strcoll claims two strings are equal, check it with strcmp, and sort according to strcmp if not identical. This fixes inconsistent behavior under glibc's hu_HU locale, and probably under some other locales as well. Also, take advantage of the now-well-defined behavior to speed up texteq, textne, bpchareq, bpcharne: they may as well just do a bitwise comparison and not bother with strcoll at all. NOTE: affected databases may need to REINDEX indexes on text columns to be sure they are self-consistent.
2005-12-10Teach deparsing of CASE expressions to cope with the simplified formsTom Lane
that simplify_boolean_equality() may leave behind. This is only relevant if the user writes something a bit silly, like CASE x=y WHEN TRUE THEN. Per example from Michael Fuhr; may or may not explain bug #2106.
2005-12-09Simplify lock manager data structures by making a clear separation betweenTom Lane
the data defining the semantics of a lock method (ie, conflict resolution table and ancillary data, which is all constant) and the hash tables storing the current state. The only thing we give up by this is the ability to use separate hashtables for different lock methods, but there is no need for that anyway. Put some extra fields into the LockMethod definition structs to clean up some other uglinesses, like hard-wired tests for DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD and USER_LOCKMETHOD. This commit doesn't do anything about the performance issues we were discussing, but it clears away some of the underbrush that's in the way of fixing that.
2005-12-03Allow to_char(interval) and to_char(time) to use AM/PM specifications.Bruce Momjian
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'. Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours. This is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function. Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion. Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.
2005-12-02Remove comment on errno=0 lines, but add mention to port/strtol.c function.Bruce Momjian
2005-12-01Add comment to pg_atoi.Bruce Momjian
2005-12-01Comment "errno = 0" in a more generic way.Bruce Momjian
2005-12-01Add comments about why errno is set to zero.Bruce Momjian
2005-12-01Check for overflow in strtol() while parsing datetime inputs.Tom Lane
Michael Fuhr.
2005-11-30Rearrange code in pg_atoi() to avoid assuming that isspace() cannotTom Lane
change errno. No reported bugs here, but why take a chance?
2005-11-25Teach planner and executor to handle ScalarArrayOpExpr as an indexableTom Lane
qualification when the underlying operator is indexable and useOr is true. That is, indexkey op ANY (ARRAY[...]) is effectively translated into an OR combination of one indexscan for each array element. This only works for bitmap index scans, of course, since regular indexscans no longer support OR'ing of scans. There are still some loose ends to clean up before changing 'x IN (list)' to translate as a ScalarArrayOpExpr; for instance predtest.c ought to be taught about it. But this gets the basic functionality in place.
2005-11-22Fix up comment munged by pg_indent. (Not pg_indent's fault; should haveTom Lane
protected comment with dashes the first time round.)
2005-11-22Re-run pgindent, fixing a problem where comment lines after a blankBruce Momjian
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for indenting). Backpatch to 8.1.X.
2005-11-19Change array comparison rules to consider dimensionality information,Tom Lane
not only the array contents, before claiming two arrays are equal. Per recent discussion.
2005-11-19Change array_push and array_cat so that they retain the lower bound ofTom Lane
the array (for array_push) or higher-dimensional array (for array_cat) rather than decrementing it as before. This avoids generating lower bounds other than one for any array operation within the SQL spec. Per recent discussion. Interestingly, this seems to have been the original behavior, because while updating the docs I noticed that a large fraction of relevant examples were *wrong* for the old behavior and are now right. Is it worth correcting this in the back-branch docs?
