patch: a 3-value enum was mistakenly assigned directly to a 'bool'
in transformCreateStmt(). Along the way, change makeObjectName()
to be static, as it isn't used outside analyze.c

for sure...). Rather than relying on the query context of a rangetable
entry to identify what permissions it wants checked, store a full AclMode
mask in each RTE, and check exactly those bits. This allows an RTE
specifying, say, INSERT privilege on a view to be copied into a derived
UPDATE query without changing meaning. Per recent discussion thread.

datatype by array_eq and array_cmp; use this to solve problems with memory
leaks in array indexing support. The parser's equality_oper and ordering_oper
routines also use the cache. Change the operator search algorithms to look
for appropriate btree or hash index opclasses, instead of assuming operators
named '<' or '=' have the right semantics. (ORDER BY ASC/DESC now also look
at opclasses, instead of assuming '<' and '>' are the right things.) Add
several more index opclasses so that there is no regression in functionality
for base datatypes. initdb forced due to catalog additions.

yet, though). Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a
common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular
resno. This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded
search loops. Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with
llast().

instead of the former kluge whereby gram.y emitted already-transformed
expressions. This is needed so that Params appearing in these clauses
actually work correctly. I suppose some might claim that the side effect
of 'SELECT ... LIMIT 2+2' working is a new feature, but I say this is
a bug fix.

It also works to create a non-polymorphic aggregate from polymorphic

lacking. By Joe Conway, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.

'scalar op ALL (array)', where the operator is applied between the
lefthand scalar and each element of the array. The operator must
yield boolean; the result of the construct is the OR or AND of the
per-element results, respectively.

a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes
on array columns.
Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array
operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call.
Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions.
Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript
functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become
supported functions.
Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or
zero-dimensional arrays.

silently resolving them to type TEXT. This is comparable to what we
do when faced with UNKNOWN in CASE, UNION, and other contexts. It gets
rid of this and related annoyances:
select distinct f1, '' from int4_tbl;
ERROR: Unable to identify an ordering operator '<' for type unknown
This was discussed many moons ago, but no one got round to fixing it.

both clauses specify the same targets, rather than always using the

extensions to support our historical behavior. An aggregate belongs
to the closest query level of any of the variables in its argument,
or the current query level if there are no variables (e.g., COUNT(*)).
The implementation involves adding an agglevelsup field to Aggref,
and treating outer aggregates like outer variables at planning time.

blanks, in hopes of reducing the surprise factor for newbies. Remove
redundant operators for VARCHAR (it depends wholly on TEXT operations now).
Clean up resolution of ambiguous operators/functions to avoid surprising
choices for domains: domains are treated as equivalent to their base types
and binary-coercibility is no longer considered a preference item when
choosing among multiple operators/functions. IsBinaryCoercible now correctly
reflects the notion that you need *only* relabel the type to get from type
A to type B: that is, a domain is binary-coercible to its base type, but
not vice versa. Various marginal cleanup, including merging the essentially
duplicate resolution code in parse_func.c and parse_oper.c. Improve opr_sanity
regression test to understand about binary compatibility (using pg_cast),
and fix a couple of small errors in the catalogs revealed thereby.
Restructure "special operator" handling to fetch operators via index opclasses
rather than hardwiring assumptions about names (cleans up the pattern_ops
stuff a little).

the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column

Turns out that representation was not convenient for either the planner
or the executor; we can make the planner deliver exactly what the
executor wants with no more effort.

that the types of untyped string-literal constants are deduced (ie,
when coerce_type is applied to 'em, that's what the type must be).
Remove the ancient hack of storing the input Param-types array as a
global variable, and put the info into ParseState instead. This touches
a lot of files because of adjustment of routine parameter lists, but
it's really not a large patch. Note: PREPARE statement still insists on
exact specification of parameter types, but that could easily be relaxed
now, if we wanted to do so.

I had inadvertently omitted it while rearranging things to support
length-counted incoming messages. Also, change the parser's API back
to accepting a 'char *' query string instead of 'StringInfo', as the
latter wasn't buying us anything except overhead. (I think when I put
it in I had some notion of making the parser API 8-bit-clean, but
seeing that flex depends on null-terminated input, that's not really
ever gonna happen.)

refers to a non-DISTINCT output column of a DISTINCT ON subquery, or
if it refers to a function-returning-set, we cannot push it down.
But the old implementation refused to push down *any* quals if the
subquery had any such 'dangerous' outputs. Now we just look at the
output columns actually referenced by each qual expression. More code
than before, but probably no slower since we don't make unnecessary checks.

Having gotten no objections (actually, no response at all), I can only
assume no one had heartburn with this change. The attached patch covers
the first of the two proposals, i.e. restricting the target list to only
one set returning function.

It compiles cleanly, and passes all regression tests. If there are no
objections, please apply.
Any suggestions on where this should be documented (other than maybe sql-select)?
Thanks,

p.s. Here's what the previous example now looks like:

CREATE TABLE foo(a int, b text);

INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(42, '!!!!');
INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(42, '????');

INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(45, '$$$$');
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getfoo(int) RETURNS SETOF text AS '
SELECT b FROM foo WHERE a = $1

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getfoo2(int) RETURNS SETOF text AS '

that used to do it in planner. That was an ancient kluge that was
never satisfactory; errors should be detected at parse time when possible.
But at the time we didn't have the support mechanism (expression_tree_walker
et al) to make it convenient to do in the parser.

make VALUE a non-reserved word again, use less invasive method of passing
ConstraintTestValue into transformExpr, fix problems with nested constraint
testing, do correct thing with NULL result from a constraint expression,
remove memory leak. Domain checks still need much more work if we are going
to allow ALTER DOMAIN, however.

operations: make sure we use operators that are compatible, as determined
by a mergejoin link in pg_operator. Also, add code to planner to ensure
we don't try to use hashed grouping when the grouping operators aren't
marked hashable.

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.

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.

types for Table Functions, as previously proposed on HACKERS. Here is a
brief explanation:
1. Creates a new pg_type typtype: 'p' for pseudo type (currently either
'b' for base or 'c' for catalog, i.e. a class).
2. Creates new builtin type of typtype='p' named RECORD. This is the
first of potentially several pseudo types.
3. Modify FROM clause grammer to accept:
SELECT * FROM my_func() AS m(colname1 type1, colname2 type1, ...)
where m is the table alias, colname1, etc are the column names, and
type1, etc are the column types.
4. When typtype == 'p' and the function return type is RECORD, a list
of column defs is required, and when typtype != 'p', it is
disallowed.
5. A check was added to ensure that the tupdesc provide via the parser
and the actual return tupdesc match in number and type of
attributes.
When creating a function you can do:
CREATE FUNCTION foo(text) RETURNS setof RECORD ...
When using it you can do:
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS (f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
or
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
or
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
Included in the patches are adjustments to the regression test sql and
expected files, and documentation.
p.s.
This potentially solves (or at least improves) the issue of builtin
Table Functions. They can be bootstrapped as returning RECORD, and
we can wrap system views around them with properly specified column
defs. For example:
CREATE VIEW pg_settings AS
SELECT s.name, s.setting
FROM show_all_settings()AS s(name text, setting text);
Then we can also add the UPDATE RULE that I previously posted to
pg_settings, and have pg_settings act like a virtual table, allowing
settings to be queried and set.

code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or
return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!)
a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what
to do here.
Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system
columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.

user-schema type names that happen to coincide with system type names.

in gram.y can make use of the keywords.c string table, instead of having
their own copies of the keyword strings. This saves a few kilobytes and
more importantly eliminates an opportunity for cut-and-paste errors.
