1999-01-24Rename Aggreg to Aggref.Bruce Momjian
1999-01-24Improper addition of NaN/Infinity recognition to float8in()Tom Lane
was causing it not to detect out-of-range float values, as evidenced by failure of float8 regression test. I corrected that logic and also modified expected float8 results to account for new error message generated for out-of-range inputs.

1999-01-23Add explicit buffering in backend libpq, to compensate forTom Lane
buffering lost by not going through stdio anymore for client I/O.

1999-01-21It seems that SPI_prepare() doesn't work well in some cases.Bruce Momjian
Pawel Pierscionek [pawel@astercity.net] reported about the following case 1([SQL] drop table in pgsql). Michael Contzen [mcontzen@dohle.com] reported about the following case 2(PL/PGSQL bug using aggregates). You can find it from pgsql-hackers archive. 1. PL/pgSQL can't execute UTILITY commands. SPI_prepare() doesn't copy(save) the utilityStmt member of Query type nodes,because copyObject() is not implemented for nodes of (Create/Destroy etc)Stmt type. 2. Aggregates in PL/pgSQL cause wrong results. ... It's a list including Aggreg type nodes which exist in TargetList(i.e Aggreg type nodes are common to aggs member list and TargetList). AFAIC the common pointer is not copied to the same pointer by copyObject() function. In my patch I reconstruct aggs member node from new(copied) Agg type node. Is it proper to use set_agg_tlist_references() function to reconstruct aggs member node for Agg type nodes ? Thanks. Hiroshi Inoue Inoue@tpf.co.jp
1999-01-21The following patch finishes primary key support. Previously, whenBruce Momjian
a field was labelled as a primary key, the system automatically created a unique index on the field. This patch extends it so that the index has the indisprimary field set. You can pull a list of primary keys with the followiing select. SELECT pg_class.relname, pg_attribute.attname FROM pg_class, pg_attribute, pg_index WHERE pg_class.oid = pg_attribute.attrelid AND pg_class.oid = pg_index.indrelid AND pg_index.indkey[0] = pg_attribute.attnum AND pg_index.indisunique = 't'; There is nothing in this patch that modifies the template database to set the indisprimary attribute for system tables. Should they be changed or should we only be concerned with user tables? D'Arcy

1999-01-18Hi!Bruce Momjian
INTERSECT and EXCEPT is available for postgresql-v6.4! The patch against v6.4 is included at the end of the current text (in uuencoded form!) I also included the text of my Master's Thesis. (a postscript version). I hope that you find something of it useful and would be happy if parts of it find their way into the PostgreSQL documentation project (If so, tell me, then I send the sources of the document!) The contents of the document are: -) The first chapter might be of less interest as it gives only an overview on SQL. -) The second chapter gives a description on much of PostgreSQL's features (like user defined types etc. and how to use these features) -) The third chapter starts with an overview of PostgreSQL's internal structure with focus on the stages a query has to pass (i.e. parser, planner/optimizer, executor). Then a detailed description of the implementation of the Having clause and the Intersect/Except logic is given. Originally I worked on v6.3.2 but never found time enough to prepare and post a patch. Now I applied the changes to v6.4 to get Intersect and Except working with the new version. Chapter 3 of my documentation deals with the changes against v6.3.2, so keep that in mind when comparing the parts of the code printed there with the patched sources of v6.4. Here are some remarks on the patch. There are some things that have still to be done but at the moment I don't have time to do them myself. (I'm doing my military service at the moment) Sorry for that :-( -) I used a rewrite technique for the implementation of the Except/Intersect logic which rewrites the query to a semantically equivalent query before it is handed to the rewrite system (for views, rules etc.), planner, executor etc. -) In v6.3.2 the types of the attributes of two select statements connected by the UNION keyword had to match 100%. In v6.4 the types only need to be familiar (i.e. int and float can be mixed). Since this feature did not exist when I worked on Intersect/Except it does not work correctly for Except/Intersect queries WHEN USED IN COMBINATION WITH UNIONS! (i.e. sometimes the wrong type is used for the resulting table. This is because until now the types of the attributes of the first select statement have been used for the resulting table. When Intersects and/or Excepts are used in combination with Unions it might happen, that the first select statement of the original query appears at another position in the query which will be executed. The reason for this is the technique used for the implementation of Except/Intersect which does a query rewrite!) NOTE: It is NOT broken for pure UNION queries and pure INTERSECT/EXCEPT queries!!! -) I had to add the field intersect_clause to some data structures but did not find time to implement printfuncs for the new field. This does NOT break the debug modes but when an Except/Intersect is used the query debug output will be the already rewritten query. -) Massive changes to the grammar rules for SELECT and INSERT statements have been necessary (see comments in gram.y and documentation for deatails) in order to be able to use mixed queries like (SELECT ... UNION (SELECT ... EXCEPT SELECT)) INTERSECT SELECT...; -) When using UNION/EXCEPT/INTERSECT you will get: NOTICE: equal: "Don't know if nodes of type xxx are equal". I did not have time to add comparsion support for all the needed nodes, but the default behaviour of the function equal met my requirements. I did not dare to supress this message! That's the reason why the regression test for union will fail: These messages are also included in the union.out file! -) Somebody of you changed the union_planner() function for v6.4 (I copied the targetlist to new_tlist and that was removed and replaced by a cleanup of the original targetlist). These chnages violated some having queries executed against views so I changed it back again. I did not have time to examine the differences between the two versions but now it works :-) If you want to find out, try the file queries/view_having.sql on both versions and compare the results . Two queries won't produce a correct result with your version. regards Stefan
1999-01-17Reverse out yesterday's patch from Horak Daniel, sinceTom Lane
it fails to compile on any machine without a <features.h> header. If this header is actually necessary on Windows, perhaps an #if test is in order.

1999-01-17Add configure test to see whether vsnprintf() is present,Tom Lane
separately from snprintf() --- HPUX, for one, has snprintf but not vsnprintf. Fix a minor typo in snprintf.c, too.
1999-01-17Remove uses of MSG_WAITALL temporarily, since it doesn'tTom Lane
seem to be portable (HPUX doesn't like it, anyway). Also, clean up StreamConnection(), which was mis-coded to assume that the address family field is already set when it's called.
1999-01-17Replace direct inclusions of c.h with inclusion of postgres.h,Tom Lane
to ensure that config.h is included as well.
1999-01-12From: Magnus Hagander <mha@sollentuna.net>Marc G. Fournier
Here's another patch for the libpq backend areas. This patch removes all usage of "FILE *" on the communications channel. It also cleans up the comments and headers in the pqcomm.c file - a lot of things were either missing or incorrect. Finally, it removes a couple of unused functions (leftovers from the time of shared code between the libpq backend and frontend).
1999-01-11From: Magnus Hagander <mha@sollentuna.net>Marc G. Fournier
Here is a first patch to cleanup the backend side of libpq. This patch removes all external dependencies on the "Pfin" and "Pfout" that are declared in pqcomm.h. These variables are also changed to "static" to make sure. Almost all the change is in the handler of the "copy" command - most other areas of the backend already used the correct functions. This change will make the way for cleanup of the internal stuff there - now that all the functions accessing the file descriptors are confined to a single directory.
1999-01-10Be more careful to check input string lengths as well as valuesThomas G. Lockhart
when deciding whether a field is a year field. Assume *anything* longer than 2 digits (if it isn't a special-case doy) is a valid year. This should fix the "Y1K" and "Y10K" problems pointed out by Massimo recently. Check usage of BC to require a positive-valued year; before just used it to flip the sign of the year without checking. This led to problems near year zero. Allow a 5 digit "concatenated date" of 2 digit year plus day of year. Do 2->4 digit year correction for 6 and 5 digit "concatenated dates". Somehow forgot this originally. Guess not many folks use it...
1999-01-10Handle "NaN" and "Infinity" for input values.Thomas G. Lockhart
I think NAN is already guaranteed to be there from Jan's work on NUMERIC, but perhaps HUGE_VAL needs some #ifndef's in the same place. Should also include "-Infinity" as -HUGE_VAL sometime; not there yet.

1998-12-26Long awaited port for NetBSD/m68k was finally done by Mr. MutsukiBruce Momjian
Nakajima. Since he is not subscribing the mailing list, I'm posting his patches by his request. According to him, he has successfully compiled and passed the regression test on Mac SE/30 running NetBSD/m68k. Also, another person has reported that with the patches PostgreSQL is working on NetBSD/sun3 too. -- Tatsuo Ishii
