2002-03-24Tweak labeling of plan qual conditions for more consistency.Tom Lane
2002-03-24EXPLAIN output now comes out as a query result, not a NOTICE message.Tom Lane
Also, fix debug logging of parse/plan trees so that the messages actually go through elog(), not directly to stdout.
2002-03-22Create the pg_namespace system catalog. Doesn't do much yet, but it'sTom Lane
there and CREATE SCHEMA will make entries in it...
2002-03-22Improve catalog commentary.Tom Lane
2002-03-22A little further progress on schemas: push down RangeVars intoTom Lane
addRangeTableEntry calls. Remove relname field from RTEs, since it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations; we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead. Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
2002-03-21Change the aclchk.c routines to uniformly use OIDs to identify theTom Lane
objects to be privilege-checked. Some change in their APIs would be necessary no matter what in the schema environment, and simply getting rid of the name-based interface entirely seems like the best way.
2002-03-21First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar andTom Lane
the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command. No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
2002-03-21Remove long-dead 'fix for SELECT NULL' to stop current coredump.Tom Lane
2002-03-20Code review for DOMAIN patch.Tom Lane
2002-03-20Tweak behavior of array slicing operations: seems like it ought to beTom Lane
okay to omit low-order dimensions when accessing an array slice.
2002-03-19Make CREATE DOMAIN emit CREATE DOMAIN on completion, per Peter E.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-19Fix DOMAIN breakage.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-19The attached patch cleans up the implementation of the TRUNCATE command;Bruce Momjian
in the current code, the authentication logic (check user, check the relation we're operating on, etc) is done in tcop/utility.c, whereas the actual TRUNCATE command in done in TruncateRelation() in commands/createinh.c (which is really just a wrapper over heap_truncate() in catalog/heap.c). This patch moves the authentication logic into TruncateRelation(), as well as making some minor code cleanups. Neil Conway
2002-03-19Fix for trigger handling:Bruce Momjian
* We should not even consider checking the row if it is no longer * valid since it was either deleted (doesn't matter) or updated * (in which case it'll be checked with its final values). Stephan Szabo
2002-03-19Add DOMAIN support. Includes manual pages and regression tests, fromBruce Momjian
Rod Taylor.
2002-03-19Comment patch:Bruce Momjian
This one better describes the problem. heap.c needs to be updated to include 'Hard coded badness' for that table. -- Rod Taylor
2002-03-16Try to make array_in's behavior a tad less bizarre. Leading whitespaceTom Lane
before a data item is now always skipped, rather than only sometimes. Backslashes not within double-quoted text are treated reasonably, as are multiple sequences of quoted text in a single data item. But it still seems rather prone to misbehavior if the input is not completely syntactically correct --- in particular, garbage following a right brace will be ignored.
2002-03-15Repair two problems with WAL logging of sequence nextvalI() ops, asTom Lane
per recent pghackers discussion: force a new WAL record at first nextval after a checkpoint, and ensure that xlog is flushed to disk if a nextval record is the only thing emitted by a transaction.
2002-03-14The attached patch changes ALTER TABLE OWNER to also change theBruce Momjian
ownership of any toast tables that belong to the table that is being operated upon (as suggested by Tom Lane). Neil Conway
2002-03-13MovePeter Eisentraut
src/GNUmakefile.in to src/Makefile and src/backend/port/Makefile.in to src/backend/port/Makefile All configure substitutions are now done in Makefile.global.
2002-03-12Restructure representation of join alias variables. An explicit JOINTom Lane
now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do. Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end of planning, rather than during parsing. Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work. initdb forced due to change of stored-rule representation.
2002-03-10Add DEFAULT_INDEX_TYPE == "btree", for clarity.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-10Disable brackets in multi-statement rules, as discussed.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-09Guard against NULL strings in SET key=val constructs.Thomas G. Lockhart
Problem noted by Fernando Nasser.

2002-03-08Add missing colon to getopt() arg.Tom Lane
2002-03-07Back out domain patch until it works properly.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-06Fix syntax error introduced by patch.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-06I've attached a patch which implements Bob Jenkin's hash function forBruce Momjian
PostgreSQL. This hash function replaces the one used by hash indexes and the catalog cache. Hash joins use a different, relatively poor-quality hash function, but I'll fix that later. As suggested by Tom Lane, this patch also changes the size of the fixed hash table used by the catalog cache to be a power-of-2 (instead of a prime: I chose 256 instead of 257). This allows the catcache to lookup hash buckets using a simple bitmask. This should improve the performance of the catalog cache slightly, since the previous method (modulo a prime) was slow. In my tests, this improves the performance of hash indexes by between 4% and 8%; the performance when using btree indexes or seqscans is basically unchanged. Neil Conway <neilconway@rogers.com>
2002-03-06Ok. Updated patch attached.Bruce Momjian
- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs - drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs - dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing [ ADDED TO /doc] Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2]; Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain. Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain(). Some documentation differences from earlier. If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain> option in psql, and regression tests. I don't really feel like doing those until the system table structure settles for pg_type. CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes. FK Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly. Both will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly before MergeAttributes(). Rod Taylor

2002-03-06Add missing Unicode multibyte files.Bruce Momjian
2002-03-06Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.

2002-03-05I attach a version of my toast-slicing patch, against current CVSBruce Momjian
(current as of a few hours ago.) This patch: 1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines. 2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to assume chunks are returned in order). 3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the beginning of the string. 4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!). All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column. 4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this patch.(I plan to return to it separately). 5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER COLUMN SET STORAGE. John Gray
2002-03-05I was digging through the GiST code, and figured I'd fix up some of theBruce Momjian
"bad smell" in that code. Stuff like function parameters that aren't used, typos in the comments, comparison between signed and unsigned ints, etc. Attached is a pretty trivial patch; it compiles, but beyond that completely untested. Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for 7.3. Neil Conway
2002-03-05Previous patch to mark UNION outputs with common typmod (if any) breaksTom Lane
three-or-more-way UNIONs, as per example from Josh Berkus. Cause is a fragile assumption that one tlist's entries will exactly match another. Restructure code to make that assumption a little less fragile.
2002-03-04Add Assert check to catch vsnprintf overrunning its buffer. (Seen toTom Lane
occur on Solaris 7 in 64-bit mode, for one.)
2002-03-04Make port makefile slightly less crufty.Tom Lane
2002-03-04If presented db path has a trailing slash, remove it to avoid generatingTom Lane
double slashes in generated filenames. This is not strictly necessary on standard Unixen, but I'm being a neatnik...
2002-03-04Fix bug in extract/date_part for milliseconds/miscroseconds andTatsuo Ishii
timestamp/timestamptz combo. Now extract/date_part returns seconds*1000 or 1000000 + fraction part as the manual stats. regression test are also fixed. See the thread in pgsql-hackers: Subject: Re: [HACKERS] timestamp_part() bug? Date: Sat, 02 Mar 2002 11:29:53 +0900
2002-03-04Further work on elog cleanup: fix some bogosities in elog's logic aboutTom Lane
when to send what to which, prevent recursion by introducing new COMMERROR elog level for client-communication problems, get rid of direct writes to stderr in backend/libpq files, prevent non-error elogs from going to client during the authentication cycle.
