2000-03-18Clean up minor compiler warnings.Tom Lane
2000-03-17Fix a bunch of minor portability problems and maybe-bugs revealed byTom Lane
running gcc and HP's cc with warnings cranked way up. Signed vs unsigned comparisons, routines declared static and then defined not-static, that kind of thing. Tedious, but perhaps useful...
2000-03-16Support full POSIX-style time zone: EST+3, PST-3, etc.Thomas G. Lockhart
We probably support a superset of the spec, but I don't have the spec to confirm this. Update regression tests to include tests for this format.
2000-03-16 Hi,Bruce Momjian
small changes in formatting.c code (better memory usage ...etc.) and better to_char's cache (will fastly for more to_char()s in one query). (It is probably end of to_char() development in 7.0 cycle.) Karel
2000-03-15Update comment obsoleted by Thomas's latest fixes.Tom Lane
2000-03-15Fix busted TRANSLATE() code --- it coredumped due to pfree()'ing theTom Lane
wrong pointer.
2000-03-14Implement column aliases on views "CREATE VIEW name (collist)".Thomas G. Lockhart
Implement TIME WITH TIME ZONE type (timetz internal type). Remap length() for character strings to CHAR_LENGTH() for SQL92 and to remove the ambiguity with geometric length() functions. Keep length() for character strings for backward compatibility. Shrink stored views by removing internal column name list from visible rte. Implement min(), max() for time and timetz data types. Implement conversion of TIME to INTERVAL. Implement abs(), mod(), fac() for the int8 data type. Rename some math functions to generic names: round(), sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), etc. Rename NUMERIC power() function to pow(). Fix int2 factorial to calculate result in int4. Enhance the Oracle compatibility function translate() to work with string arguments (from Edwin Ramirez). Modify pg_proc system table to remove OID holes.
2000-03-13Extend numeric_round and numeric_trunc to accept negative scale inputsTom Lane
(ie, allow rounding to occur at a digit position left of the decimal point). Apparently this is how Oracle handles it, and there are precedents in other programming languages as well.
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.
2000-03-09Trial implementation of ALTER DROP COLUMN.Hiroshi Inoue
They are #ifdef'd. Add -D_DROP_COLUMN_HACK__ compile option to evaluate it.
2000-03-08Extend #ifdef CLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY debugging option so that memoryTom Lane
freed wholesale by AllocSetReset() is overwritten too.
2000-03-08Bruce and all:Bruce Momjian
Here's a patch to fix the " '.' not allowed in db path" problem I ran into. I removed '.' from the set of illegial characters, but added backtick. I also included an explicit test for attempting include a reference to a parent dir. How that? Ross
2000-03-08Reversed out inet patch.Bruce Momjian
2000-03-08Hi,Bruce Momjian
the to_char() source code is large, here are regression tests for numeric/timestamp/int8 part. It is probably enough test for formatting code in the formatting.c module. The others (float4/float8/int4) types share this formatting code and eventual bugs for these types aren't few probable. Patch fix timestamp_to_char() for infinity/invalid timestamp too. Karel
2000-03-07Protects you from coredumps if you do eg. str::int4 where str is a textBruce Momjian
field. cf. Tom Lane's <19021.950544016@sss.pgh.pa.us> 14 Feb hackers message. Cheers, Patrick Welche
2000-03-07Sorting for the inet data type randomly returns the wrong resultBruce Momjian
when you have networks with the same prefix, but different netmasks. This is due to the fact that occassionally there is random (uninitialized?) data in the extra bits past the point where the netmask cares about them. ie (real data from a real live database): 10.0/10 == 00001010.00100000.00100000.00011000 10.0/11 == 00001010.00000000.00000000.00000000 ^ Bad data, normally never seen The v4bitncmp() function was only taking one bit length argument so it would determine that the networks were different, even though they really aren't (and the netmask test wouldn't be used). This ONLY happens if the tuple with the longer bit length is used as the ip_bits() for the v4bitncmp call AND there happens to be junk data in place in the shorter tuple. Odd and random, but I saw it happen a couple times so... Ryan Mooney
2000-03-01Small performance improvement in comparetup_heap.Tom Lane
2000-02-27Reactivated LZTEXT data type and changed rule plan- and qual-stringsJan Wieck
into lztext. Jan
2000-02-27Minor improvements in regprocout() and oidvectortypes().Tom Lane
2000-02-26Add date and time datatype handling to convert_to_scalar. (I was waitingTom Lane
for Thomas to do the datetime consolidation before touching this, but it's done now...)
2000-02-26Change rule dumper to produce reasonable output for casts that assignTom Lane
a specific length or precision, such as foo::char(8). Remove erroneous removal of user-written casts at the top level of a SELECT target item.
2000-02-26Shared-memory hashtables have non-extensible directories, which meansTom Lane
it's a good idea to choose the directory size based on the expected number of entries. But ShmemInitHash was using a hard-wired constant. Boo hiss. This accounts for recent report of postmaster failure when asking for 64K or more buffers.
2000-02-24Add numeric <-> int8 and numeric <-> int2 conversion functions, as wellTom Lane
as a unary minus operator for numeric. Now that long numeric constants will get converted to NUMERIC in early parsing, it's essential to have numeric->int8 conversion to avoid 'can't convert' errors on undecorated int8 constants. Threw in the rest for completeness while I was in the area. I did not force an initdb for this, since the system will still run without the new pg_proc/pg_operator entries. Possibly I should've.
2000-02-24int8in failed to detect overflow; it really should.Tom Lane
2000-02-21Quick hack solution so that pg_dump of views works. Needs repair afterTom Lane
Thomas gets back, but better this than nonfunctional pg_dump in the beta.
2000-02-21Oops, commited a test version of this file by accident. Revert.Tom Lane
2000-02-21Change parse-time representation of float literals (which include oversizeTom Lane
integers) to be strings instead of 'double'. We convert from string form to internal representation only after type resolution has determined the correct type for the constant. This eliminates loss-of-precision worries and gets rid of the change in behavior seen at 17 digits with the previous kluge.
2000-02-21Clean up some really grotty coding in catcache.c, improve hashingTom Lane
performance in catcache lookups.
2000-02-20Create a new expression node type RelabelType, which exists solely toTom Lane
represent the result of a binary-compatible type coercion. At runtime it just evaluates its argument --- but during type resolution, exprType will pick up the output type of the RelabelType node instead of the type of the argument. This solves some longstanding problems with dropped type coercions, an example being 'select now()::abstime::int4' which used to produce date-formatted output, not an integer, because the coercion to int4 was dropped on the floor.
2000-02-18Implement reindex commandHiroshi Inoue
2000-02-18Replace inefficient _bt_invokestrat calls with direct calls to theTom Lane
appropriate btree three-way comparison routine. Not clear why the three-way comparison routines were being used in some paths and not others in btree --- incomplete changes by someone long ago, maybe? Anyway, this makes for a nice speedup in CREATE INDEX.
2000-02-17Finish repairing 6.5's problems with r-tree indexes: create appropriateTom Lane
selectivity functions and make the r-tree operators use them. The estimation functions themselves are just stubs, unfortunately, but perhaps someday someone will make them compute realistic estimates. Change pg_am so that the optimizer can reliably tell the difference between ordered and unordered indexes --- before it would think that an r-tree index can be scanned in '<<' order, which is not right AFAIK. Repair broken negator links for network_sup and related ops. Initdb forced. This might be my last initdb force for 7.0 ... hope so anyway ...
2000-02-16All regression tests pass except for rules.sql (unrelated).Thomas G. Lockhart
Implement "date/time grand unification". Transform datetime and timespan into timestamp and interval. Deprecate datetime and timespan, though translate to new types in gram.y. Transform all datetime and timespan catalog entries into new types. Make "INTERVAL" reserved word allowed as a column identifier in gram.y. Remove dt.h, dt.c files, and retarget datetime.h, datetime.c as utility routines for all date/time types. date.{h,c} now deals with date, time types. timestamp.{h,c} now deals with timestamp, interval types. nabstime.{h,c} now deals with abstime, reltime, tinterval types. Make NUMERIC a known native type for purposes of type coersion. Not tested.

2000-02-16If we don't have any stats for a boolean column, assumeTom Lane
the disbursion is 0.5, not something small.
2000-02-16Make eqsel produce better results for boolean columns,Tom Lane
and make scalarltsel a little more forgiving at the boundaries of the known range of a column value.
2000-02-15New cost model for planning, incorporating a penalty for random pageTom Lane
accesses versus sequential accesses, a (very crude) estimate of the effects of caching on random page accesses, and cost to evaluate WHERE- clause expressions. Export critical parameters for this model as SET variables. Also, create SET variables for the planner's enable flags (enable_seqscan, enable_indexscan, etc) so that these can be controlled more conveniently than via PGOPTIONS. Planner now estimates both startup cost (cost before retrieving first tuple) and total cost of each path, so it can optimize queries with LIMIT on a reasonable basis by interpolating between these costs. Same facility is a win for EXISTS(...) subqueries and some other cases. Redesign pathkey representation to achieve a major speedup in planning (I saw as much as 5X on a 10-way join); also minor changes in planner to reduce memory consumption by recycling discarded Path nodes and not constructing unnecessary lists. Minor cleanups to display more-plausible costs in some cases in EXPLAIN output. Initdb forced by change in interface to index cost estimation functions.
2000-02-15Repair bogus rule display of attr lists.Tom Lane
2000-02-15Carry column aliases from the parser frontend. Enables queries likeThomas G. Lockhart
SELECT a FROM t1 tx (a); Allow join syntax, including queries like SELECT * FROM t1 NATURAL JOIN t2; Update RTE structure to hold column aliases in an Attr structure.
2000-02-15Recognize special case of POSIX time zone: "GMT+8" and "GMT-8".Thomas G. Lockhart
Still needs to be done for the general case: "tz+/-#" where tz is a 3 char string. This will probably involve moving code around to other places.
2000-02-13contrib-array.patchBruce Momjian
this is an old patch which I have already submitted and never seen in the sources. It corrects the datatype oids used in some iterator functions. This bug has been reported to me by many other people. contrib-datetime.patch some code contributed by Reiner Dassing <dassing@wettzell.ifag.de> contrib-makefiles.patch fixes all my contrib makefiles which don't work with some compilers, as reported to me by another user. contrib-miscutil.patch an old patch for one of my old contribs. contrib-string.patch a small change to the c-like text output functions. Now the '{' is escaped only at the beginning of the string to distinguish it from arrays, and the '}' is no more escaped. elog-lineno.patch adds the current lineno of CopyFrom to elog messages. This is very useful when you load a 1 million tuples table from an external file and there is a bad value somehere. Currently you get an error message but you can't know where is the bad data. The patch uses a variable which was declared static in copy.c. The variable is now exported and initialized to 0. It is always cleared at the end of the copy or at the first elog message or when the copy is canceled. I know this is very ugly but I can't find any better way of knowing where the copy fails and I have this problem quite often. plperl-makefile.patch fixes a typo in a makefile, but the error must be elsewhere because it is a file generated automatically. Please have a look. tprintf-timestamp.patch restores the original 2-digit year format, assuming that the two century digits don't carry much information and that '000202' is easier to read than 20000202. Being only a log file it shouldn't break anything. Please apply the patches before the next scheduled code freeze. I also noticed that some of the contribs don't compile correcly. Should we ask people to fix their code or rename their makefiles so that they are ignored by the top makefile? -- Massimo Dal Zotto

2000-02-08 I'm sending patch with new version of to_char numbers formatting.Bruce Momjian
The PostgreSQL's to_char() is very compatible with Oracle's to_char now. I hope that to_char's 3000 rows of source is without bugs, but will good if anyone test it, for me it works very well :-) Karel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Karel Zak <zakkr@zf.jcu.cz> http://home.zf.jcu.cz/~zakkr/

2000-02-04Squash longstanding memory leak: when catcache.c copied a tuple intoTom Lane
the cache context, it didn't bother to free the tuple that CatalogIndexFetchTuple had allocated in the transaction context. Do enough cache lookups in the same xact, and you start to notice...
2000-01-31Fix problems seen in parallel regress tests when SI buffer overruns (causingTom Lane
syscache and relcache flushes). Relcache entry rebuild now preserves original tupledesc, rewrite rules, and triggers if possible, so that pointers to these things remain valid --- if these things change while relcache entry has positive refcount, we elog(ERROR) to avoid later crash. Arrange for xact-local rels to be rebuilt when an SI inval message is seen for them, so that they are updated by CommandCounterIncrement the same as regular rels. (This is useful because of Hiroshi's recent changes to process our own SI messages at CommandCounterIncrement time.) This allows simplification of some routines that previously hacked around the lack of an automatic update. catcache now keeps its own copy of tupledesc for its relation, rather than depending on the relcache's copy; this avoids needing to reinitialize catcache during a cache flush, which saves some cycles and eliminates nasty circularity problems that occur if a cache flush happens while trying to initialize a catcache. Eliminate a number of permanent memory leaks that used to happen during catcache or relcache flush; not least of which was that catcache never freed any cached tuples! (Rule parsetree storage is still leaked, however; will fix that separately.) Nothing done yet about code that uses tuples retrieved by SearchSysCache for longer than is safe.
2000-01-29Modify uses of RelationFlushRelation and RelationCacheInvalidate so thatTom Lane
we *always* rebuild, rather than deleting, an invalidated relcache entry that has positive refcount. Otherwise an SI cache overrun leads to dangling Relation pointers all over the place!
