2007-01-23Add CREATE/ALTER/DROP OPERATOR FAMILY commands, also COMMENT ON OPERATORTom Lane
FAMILY; and add FAMILY option to CREATE OPERATOR CLASS to allow adding a class to a pre-existing family. Per previous discussion. Man, what a tedious lot of cutting and pasting ...
2007-01-23Back out use of FormatMessage(), does error values, not exceptionBruce Momjian
values. Point to /include/ntstatus.h for an exception list, rather than a URL.
2007-01-23Print meaningfull error text for abonormal process exit on Win32, ratherBruce Momjian
than hex codes, using FormatMessage().
2007-01-22Put back planner's ability to cache the results of mergejoinscansel(),Tom Lane
which I had removed in the first cut of the EquivalenceClass rewrite to simplify that patch a little. But it's still important --- in a four-way join problem mergejoinscansel() was eating about 40% of the planning time according to gprof. Also, improve the EquivalenceClass code to re-use join RestrictInfos rather than generating fresh ones for each join considered. This saves some memory space but more importantly improves the effectiveness of caching planning info in RestrictInfos.
2007-01-22Uppercase hex value.Bruce Momjian
2007-01-22When system() fails in Win32, report it as an exception, print theBruce Momjian
exception value in hex, and give a URL where the value can be looked-up.
2007-01-22Add COST and ROWS options to CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, plus underlying pg_procTom Lane
columns procost and prorows, to allow simple user adjustment of the estimated cost of a function call, as well as control of the estimated number of rows returned by a set-returning function. We might eventually wish to extend this to allow function-specific estimation routines, but there seems to be consensus that we should try a simple constant estimate first. In particular this provides a relatively simple way to control the order in which different WHERE clauses are applied in a plan node, which is a Good Thing in view of the fact that the recent EquivalenceClass planner rewrite made that much less predictable than before.
2007-01-21Refactor some lsyscache routines to eliminate duplicate code and saveTom Lane
a couple of syscache lookups in make_pathkey_from_sortinfo().
2007-01-20Simplify pg_am representation of ordering-capable access methods:Tom Lane
provide just a boolean 'amcanorder', instead of fields that specify the sort operator strategy numbers. We have decided to require ordering-capable AMs to use btree-compatible strategy numbers, so the old fields are overkill (and indeed misleading about what's allowed).
2007-01-20Make setseed() return void, rather than an int4 without any use. PerNeil Conway
pgsql-patches discussion of September 20, 2006. Bump the catversion.
2007-01-20Refactor planner's pathkeys data structure to create a separate, explicitTom Lane
representation of equivalence classes of variables. This is an extensive rewrite, but it brings a number of benefits: * planner no longer fails in the presence of "incomplete" operator families that don't offer operators for every possible combination of datatypes. * avoid generating and then discarding redundant equality clauses. * remove bogus assumption that derived equalities always use operators named "=". * mergejoins can work with a variety of sort orders (e.g., descending) now, instead of tying each mergejoinable operator to exactly one sort order. * better recognition of redundant sort columns. * can make use of equalities appearing underneath an outer join.
2007-01-20Refactor the index AM API slightly: move currentItemData andNeil Conway
currentMarkData from IndexScanDesc to the opaque structs for the AMs that need this information (currently gist and hash). Patch from Heikki Linnakangas, fixes by Neil Conway.
2007-01-20Fix xmlconcat by properly merging the XML declarations. Add aggregatePeter Eisentraut
function xmlagg.
2007-01-19Add support for converting binary values (i.e. bytea) into xml values,Peter Eisentraut
with new GUC parameter "xmlbinary" that controls the output encoding, as per SQL/XML standard.
2007-01-19Change the sed rules in the regression test for pg_regress hackery to createAlvaro Herrera
the generated files, to help Visual C++ to run these tests. The tests still pass in VPATH and normal builds. Patch from Magnus Hagander, editorialized by me.
2007-01-17Extend yesterday's patch so that the bgwriter is also told to forgetTom Lane
pending fsyncs during DROP DATABASE. Obviously necessary in hindsight :-(
2007-01-16Implement width_bucket() for the float8 data type.Neil Conway
The implementation is somewhat ugly logic-wise, but I don't see an easy way to make it more concise. When writing this, I noticed that my previous implementation of width_bucket() doesn't handle NaN correctly: postgres=# select width_bucket('NaN', 1, 5, 5); width_bucket -------------- 6 (1 row) AFAICS SQL:2003 does not define a NaN value, so it doesn't address how width_bucket() should behave here. The patch changes width_bucket() so that ereport(ERROR) is raised if NaN is specified for the operand or the lower or upper bounds to width_bucket(). For float8, NaN is disallowed for any of the floating-point inputs, and +/- infinity is disallowed for the histogram bounds (but allowed for the operand). Update docs and regression tests, bump the catversion.
2007-01-16Arrange for autovacuum to be killed when another operation wants to be aloneAlvaro Herrera
accessing it, like DROP DATABASE. This allows the regression tests to pass with autovacuum enabled, which open the gates for finally enabling autovacuum by default.
2007-01-14Add support for xmlval IS DOCUMENT expression.Peter Eisentraut
2007-01-12Use XML output escaping also in XMLFOREST.Peter Eisentraut
2007-01-11Allow Borland CC to compile libpq and psql.Bruce Momjian

2007-01-11Allow Borland CC to compile libpq and psql.Bruce Momjian
L Bayuk
2007-01-10Use libxml's xmlwriter API for producing XML elements, instead of doingPeter Eisentraut
our own printing dance. This does a better job of quoting and escaping the values.
2007-01-10Make sure BYTE_ORDER gets defined in 64-bit builds on Solaris,Tom Lane
per Stefan Kaltenbrunner.
2007-01-10Change the planner-to-executor API so that the planner tells the executorTom Lane
which comparison operators to use for plan nodes involving tuple comparison (Agg, Group, Unique, SetOp). Formerly the executor looked up the default equality operator for the datatype, which was really pretty shaky, since it's possible that the data being fed to the node is sorted according to some nondefault operator class that could have an incompatible idea of equality. The planner knows what it has sorted by and therefore can provide the right equality operator to use. Also, this change moves a couple of catalog lookups out of the executor and into the planner, which should help startup time for pre-planned queries by some small amount. Modify the planner to remove some other cavalier assumptions about always being able to use the default operators. Also add "nulls first/last" info to the Plan node for a mergejoin --- neither the executor nor the planner can cope yet, but at least the API is in place.
2007-01-09Enable another five tuple status bits by using the high bits of theBruce Momjian
nattr field, and rename the field. Heikki Linnakangas
2007-01-09Add GUC log_temp_files to log the use of temporary files.Bruce Momjian
Bill Moran
2007-01-09Support ORDER BY ... NULLS FIRST/LAST, and add ASC/DESC/NULLS FIRST/NULLS LASTTom Lane
per-column options for btree indexes. The planner's support for this is still pretty rudimentary; it does not yet know how to plan mergejoins with nondefault ordering options. The documentation is pretty rudimentary, too. I'll work on improving that stuff later. Note incompatible change from prior behavior: ORDER BY ... USING will now be rejected if the operator is not a less-than or greater-than member of some btree opclass. This prevents less-than-sane behavior if an operator that doesn't actually define a proper sort ordering is selected.
2007-01-07Some fine-tuning of xmlpi in corner cases:Peter Eisentraut
- correct error codes - do syntax checks in correct order - strip leading spaces of argument
2007-01-05Update CVS HEAD for 2007 copyright. Back branches are typically notBruce Momjian
back-stamped for this.
2007-01-05Stamp major release 8.3.0, and increment library version numbers.Bruce Momjian
2007-01-04Fix some small typos in comments. Greg StarkTom Lane
2007-01-03Fix regex_fixed_prefix() to cope reasonably well with regex patterns of theTom Lane
form '^(foo)$'. Before, these could never be optimized into indexscans. The recent changes to make psql and pg_dump generate such patterns (for \d commands and -t and related switches, respectively) therefore represented a big performance hit for people with large pg_class catalogs, as seen in recent gripe from Erik Jones. While at it, be more paranoid about case-sensitivity checking in multibyte encodings, and fix some other corner cases in which a regex might be interpreted too liberally.
2007-01-03Clean up smgr.c/md.c APIs as per discussion a couple months ago. Instead ofTom Lane
having md.c return a success/failure boolean to smgr.c, which was just going to elog anyway, let md.c issue the elog messages itself. This allows better error reporting, particularly in cases such as "short read" or "short write" which Peter was complaining of. Also, remove the kluge of allowing mdread() to return zeroes from a read-beyond-EOF: this is now an error condition except when InRecovery or zero_damaged_pages = true. (Hash indexes used to require that behavior, but no more.) Also, enforce that mdwrite() is to be used for rewriting existing blocks while mdextend() is to be used for extending the relation EOF. This restriction lets us get rid of the old ad-hoc defense against creating huge files by an accidental reference to a bogus block number: we'll only create new segments in mdextend() not mdwrite() or mdread(). (Again, when InRecovery we allow it anyway, since we need to allow updates of blocks that were later truncated away.) Also, clean up the original makeshift patch for bug #2737: move the responsibility for padding relation segments to full length into md.c.
2007-01-03Widen the money type to 64 bits.D'Arcy J.M. Cain
2007-01-02finite() no longer used; remove finite() platform-specificBruce Momjian
infrastructure.
2007-01-02Add n_live_tuples and n_dead_tuples to pg_stat_all_tables.Bruce Momjian
The purpose is to allow autovacuum-esq conditional vacuuming and clustering using SQL to discover the required stats. No documentation updates required. Catalog version updated. Glen Parker
2006-12-30Support type modifiers for user-defined types, and pull most knowledgeTom Lane
about typmod representation for standard types out into type-specific typmod I/O functions. Teodor Sigaev, with some editorialization by Tom Lane.
2006-12-29De-escape XML names when reverse-compiling XML expressions.Peter Eisentraut
2006-12-28Add send and recv functions for xml type.Peter Eisentraut
2006-12-28Add a defense to prevent core dumps if 8.2 version of rank_cd() is used withTom Lane
the 8.1 SQL function definition for it. Per report from Rajesh Kumar Mallah, such a DBA error doesn't seem at all improbable, and the cost of checking for it is not very high compared to the cost of running this function. (It would have been better to change the C name of the function so it wouldn't be called by the old SQL definition, but it's too late for that now in the 8.2 branch.)
2006-12-26Fix failure due to accessing an already-freed tuple descriptor in a planTom Lane
involving HashAggregate over SubqueryScan (this is the known case, there may well be more). The bug is only latent in releases before 8.2 since they didn't try to access tupletable slots' descriptors during ExecDropTupleTable. The least bogus fix seems to be to make subqueries share the parent query's memory context, so that tupdescs they create will have the same lifespan as those of the parent query. There are comments in the code envisioning going even further by not having a separate child EState at all, but that will require rethinking executor access to range tables, which I don't want to tackle right now. Per bug report from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.
2006-12-24Fix machine-dependent crash in sqlchar_to_unicode(). Get rid ofTom Lane
bletcherous and unsafe manipulation of global encoding setting. Clean up libxml reporting mechanism a bit (it still looks like a dangling-pointer crash waiting to happen, though, not to mention being far less than sane from a localization standpoint).
2006-12-24Code review for XML patch. Instill a bit of sanity in the location ofTom Lane
the XmlExpr code in various lists, use a representation that has some hope of reverse-listing correctly (though it's still a de-escaping function shy of correctness), generally try to make it look more like Postgres coding conventions.
2006-12-23Suppress various compiler warnings in new xml code.Tom Lane
2006-12-23Restructure operator classes to allow improved handling of cross-data-typeTom Lane
cases. Operator classes now exist within "operator families". While most families are equivalent to a single class, related classes can be grouped into one family to represent the fact that they are semantically compatible. Cross-type operators are now naturally adjunct parts of a family, without having to wedge them into a particular opclass as we had done originally. This commit restructures the catalogs and cleans up enough of the fallout so that everything still works at least as well as before, but most of the work needed to actually improve the planner's behavior will come later. Also, there are not yet CREATE/DROP/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands; the only way to create a new family right now is to allow CREATE OPERATOR CLASS to make one by default. I owe some more documentation work, too. But that can all be done in smaller pieces once this infrastructure is in place.
2006-12-21Catalog version bump for SQL/XML changes.Peter Eisentraut
2006-12-21Initial SQL/XML support: xml data type and initial set of functions.Peter Eisentraut
2006-12-18Set pg_am.amstrategies to zero for index AMs that don't have fixedTom Lane
operator strategy numbers, ie, GiST and GIN. This is almost cosmetic enough to not need a catversion bump, but since the opr_sanity regression test has to change in sync with the catalog entry, I figured I'd better do one.
2006-12-12Fix planner to do the right thing when a degenerate outer join (one whoseTom Lane
joinclause doesn't use any outer-side vars) requires a "bushy" plan to be created. The normal heuristic to avoid joins with no joinclause has to be overridden in that case. Problem is new in 8.2; before that we forced the outer join order anyway. Per example from Teodor.
