2002-10-19Fix range-query estimation to not double-exclude NULLs, per gripe fromTom Lane
Ray Ontko 28-June-02. Also, fix prefix_selectivity for NAME lefthand variables (it was bogusly assuming binary compatibility), and adjust make_greater_string() to not call pg_mbcliplen() with invalid multibyte data (this last per bug report that I can't find at the moment, but it was in July '02).
2002-10-19This patch adds some missing functions for float8 math operations,Bruce Momjian
specifically ceil(), floor(), and sign(). There may be other functions that need to be added, but this is a start. I've included some simple regression tests. Neil Conway
2002-10-18Fix breakage that had crept into setlocale() usage: once again we'veTom Lane
been bit by the fact that the locale functions return pointers to modifiable variables. I added some comments that might help us avoid the mistake in future.
2002-10-13Make macaddr_in reject trailing garbage (except whitespace).Tom Lane
Per gripe from Patrick Welche, 13-Oct-2002.
2002-10-04Fix a couple of grammatical errors in error messages.Tom Lane
2002-10-03Hack to make it possible to load CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER commands thatTom Lane
are missing the FROM clause (due to a long-ago pg_dump bug). Patch by Stephan Szabo, minor tweaking by Tom Lane.
2002-10-02Alter scale selection for NUMERIC division and transcendental functionsTom Lane
so that precision of result is always at least as good as you'd get from float8 arithmetic (ie, always at least 16 digits of accuracy). Per pg_hackers discussion a few days ago.
2002-09-24Change default privileges for languages and functions to be PUBLIC USAGETom Lane
and PUBLIC EXECUTE, respectively. Per discussion about easing updates from prior versions.
2002-09-22Bring SIMILAR TO and SUBSTRING into some semblance of conformance withTom Lane
the SQL99 standard. (I'm not sure that the character-class features are quite right, but that can be fixed later.) Document SQL99 and POSIX regexps as being different features; provide variants of SUBSTRING for each.
2002-09-21Add last-ditch defense against attempts to compile datetime code withTom Lane
-ffast-math.
2002-09-20The patch fix bug described in TODO:Bruce Momjian
* to_char(0,'FM999.99') returns a period, to_char(1,'FM999.99') does not Karel Zak

2002-09-20This patch cleans up some of the code in src/util/adt/formatting.c,Bruce Momjian
fixes a few minor bugs (typos, potential buffer overruns, etc.), and fixes some spelling/grammar mistakes. Neil Conway
2002-09-19Tweak heap.c to refuse attempts to create table columns of standaloneTom Lane
composite types. Add a couple more lsyscache.c routines to support this, and make use of them in some other places that were doing lookups the hard way.
2002-09-19Department of second thoughts: suppressing implicit casts everywhere inTom Lane
ruleutils display is not such a great idea. For arguments of functions and operators I think we'd better keep the historical behavior of showing such casts explicitly, to ensure that the function/operator is reparsed the same way when the rule is reloaded. This also makes the output of EXPLAIN less obscurantist about exactly what's happening.
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.
2002-09-05Be careful to include postgres.h *before* any system headers, to ensureTom Lane
that the right flavors of largefile-related definitions are seen. Most of these changes are probably unnecessary, but better safe than sorry.
2002-09-04pgindent run.Bruce Momjian
2002-09-03EXTRACT(EPOCH FROM timestamp) gave wrong answers in the int64-timestampTom Lane
case for timestamptz input, and differently wrong answers in the float- timestamp case for timestamp input.
2002-09-03Arrange for the default permissions on a database to allow temp tableTom Lane
creation to world, but disallow temp table creation in template1. Per latest round of pghackers discussion. I did not force initdb, but the permissions lockdown on template1 will not take effect unless you do one (or manually REVOKE TEMP ON DATABASE template1 FROM public).
2002-09-03Remove all traces of multibyte and locale options. Clean up commentsPeter Eisentraut
referring to "multibyte" where it really means character encoding.
2002-09-03Work around mktime() brain damage in recent versions of glibc by usingTom Lane
a series of localtime() calls to determine the local timezone offset when mktime() fails. This eliminates regression failures on RHL 7.3, and should continue to work until it occurs to the glibc boys to break localtime() as well. By then I hope we'll have our own timezone code...
2002-09-03Eliminate unnecessary dependency on mktime(), and consequent 'Unable toTom Lane
convert date to tm' failures, by using DetermineLocalTimeZone() instead.

The attached patch re-enables a bytea right hand argument (as compared to a text right hand argument), and enables index usage, for bytea LIKE Joe Conway
2002-09-02I checked all the previous string handling errors and most of them wereBruce Momjian
already fixed by You. However there were a few left and attached patch should fix the rest of them. I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all the other code does. I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing snprintf(buf, 2 * BUFSIZE, ... style lines to snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array. Jukka Holappa
2002-09-02Remove sys/types.h in files that include postgres.h, and hence c.h,Bruce Momjian
because c.h has sys/types.h.
2002-09-02Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headersTom Lane
(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
2002-09-01Mark the float8 -> int8 cast as implicit. This resolves the problemTom Lane
pointed out by Barry Lind: UPDATE bigintcol = 10000000000 fails because the constant is initially taken as float8. We really need a better way, but it's not gonna happen for 7.3. Also, remove int4reltime() function, which is redundant with the existing binary-compatibility coercion path from int4 to reltime, and probably has been unreachable code for a long while.
2002-08-31Code review for domain-constraints patch. Use a new ConstraintTest nodeTom Lane
type for runtime constraint checks, instead of misusing the parse-time Constraint node for the purpose. Fix some damage introduced into type coercion logic; in particular ensure that a coerced expression tree will read out the correct result type when inspected (patch had broken some RelabelType cases). Enforce domain NOT NULL constraints against columns that are omitted from an INSERT.
2002-08-31Code review for pg_locks feature. Make shmemoffset of PROCLOCK structsTom Lane
available (else there's no way to interpret the list links). Change pg_locks view to show transaction ID locks separately from ordinary relation locks. Avoid showing N duplicate rows when the same lock is held multiple times (seems unlikely that users care about exact hold count). Improve documentation.

I've attached a patch which should fix these problems. Neil Conway
2002-08-29Adjust nodeFunctionscan.c to reset transient memory context between callsTom Lane
to the table function, thus preventing memory leakage accumulation across calls. This means that SRFs need to be careful to distinguish permanent and local storage; adjust code and documentation accordingly. Patch by Joe Conway, very minor tweaks by Tom Lane.
2002-08-29Remove #ifdef MULTIBYTE per hackers list discussion.Tatsuo Ishii
2002-08-29Fix ruleutils to dump column definition lists for anonymous record typesTom Lane
defined in the FROM clause. From Joe Conway, with some tweaks.
2002-08-29Code review for standalone composite types, query-specified compositeTom Lane
types, SRFs. Not happy with memory management yet, but I'll commit these other changes.
2002-08-28backend where a statically sized buffer is written to. Most of theseBruce Momjian
should be pretty safe in practice, but it's probably better to be safe than sorry. I was actually looking for cases where NAMEDATALEN is assumed to be 32, but only found one. That's fixed too, as well as a few bits of code cleanup. Neil Conway
2002-08-27Bring comments back in sync with code.Tom Lane
2002-08-27Throw error on pg_atoi(''), regression adjustments.Bruce Momjian
2002-08-27This patch updates the lock listing code to use Joe Conway's newBruce Momjian
anonymous return type SRF code. It gets rid of the superflous 'pg_locks_result' that Bruce/Tom had commented on. Otherwise, no changes in functionality. Neil Conway
2002-08-27This patches replaces a few more usages of strcpy() and sprintf() whenBruce Momjian
copying into a fixed-size buffer (in this case, a buffer of NAMEDATALEN bytes). AFAICT nothing to worry about here, but worth fixing anyway... Neil Conway
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.
2002-08-24The cstring datatype can now be copied, passed around, etc. The typlenTom Lane
value '-2' is used to indicate a variable-width type whose width is computed as strlen(datum)+1. Everything that looks at typlen is updated except for array support, which Joe Conway is working on; at the moment it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.
2002-08-22Commit updated repeat() patch, from Neil ConwayBruce Momjian
2002-08-22This patch should fix the problem. Doesn't include my previous patchBruce Momjian
for repeat(). Again, somewhat off-the-cuff, so I might have missed something... test=# select lpad('xxxxx',1431655765,'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'); ERROR: Requested length too large test=# select rpad('xxxxx',1431655765,'yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy'); ERROR: Requested length too large (That's on a Unicode DB, haven't tested other encodings but AFAICT this fix should still work.) Neil Conway
2002-08-22repeat() fix:Bruce Momjian
> Neil Conway <neilc@samurai.com> writes: > > + /* Check for integer overflow */ > > + if (tlen / slen != count) > > + elog(ERROR, "Requested buffer is too large."); > > What about slen == 0? Good point -- that wouldn't cause incorrect results or a security problem, but it would reject input that we should really accept. Revised patch is attached. Neil Conway
2002-08-22As suggested by Tom, this patch restricts the right-hand argument ofBruce Momjian
bytealike to TEXT. This leaves like_escape_bytea() without anything to do, but I left it in place in anticipation of the eventual bytea pattern selectivity functions. If there is agreement that this would be the best long term solution, I'll take it as a TODO for 7.4. Joe Conway
2002-08-22Add:Bruce Momjian
replace(string, from, to) -- replaces all occurrences of "from" in "string" to "to" split(string, fldsep, column) -- splits "string" on "fldsep" and returns "column" number piece to_hex(int32_num) & to_hex(int64_num) -- takes integer number and returns as hex string Joe Conway
2002-08-22Add a bunch of pseudo-types to replace the behavior formerly associatedTom Lane
with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion. I still want to do some more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...
2002-08-20Increase buffer size in cash_words(). Pure paranoia; I don't think theTom Lane
code is broken, but any small change in the output format might overrun the buffer with the old size.
2002-08-20Allow pg_statistics to be reset by calling pg_stat_reset().Bruce Momjian
