2003-02-18Update README.Bruce Momjian
2003-02-18Async_NotifyHandler must save and restore ImmediateInterruptOK. FixesTom Lane
known problem with failure to respond to 'pg_ctl stop -m fast', and probable problems if SIGINT or SIGTERM arrives while processing a SIGUSR2 interrupt that arrived while waiting for a new client query.
2003-02-18Rename 'holder' references to 'proclock' for PROCLOCK references, forBruce Momjian
consistency.
2003-02-17Added Informix "database" command.Michael Meskes
2003-02-16Back off previous patch to skip projection step in scan plan nodes,Tom Lane
in the case where the node immediately above the scan is a Hash, Sort, or Material node. In these cases it's better to do the projection so that we don't store unneeded columns in the hash/sort/materialize table. Per discussion a few days ago with Anagh Lal.
2003-02-16COALESCE() and NULLIF() are now first-class expressions, not macrosTom Lane
that turn into CASE expressions. They evaluate their arguments at most once. Patch by Kris Jurka, review and (very light) editorializing by me.
2003-02-15Marginal tweaks to make sure that roundoff error won't cause us to makeTom Lane
a bad choice between sorted and hashed aggregation.
2003-02-15Teach planner how to propagate pathkeys from sub-SELECTs in FROM up toTom Lane
the outer query. (The implementation is a bit klugy, but it would take nontrivial restructuring to make it nicer, which this is probably not worth.) This avoids unnecessary sort steps in examples like SELECT foo,count(*) FROM (SELECT ... ORDER BY foo,bar) sub GROUP BY foo which means there is now a reasonable technique for controlling the order of inputs to custom aggregates, even in the grouping case.
2003-02-14Propogate pg_ctl -D to the postmaster as a -D flag for identification byBruce Momjian
ps for multiple postmasters, for Kevin Brown.
2003-02-14Fix SPI result logic for case where there are multiple statements of theTom Lane
same type in a rule. Per bug report from Pavel Hanak.
2003-02-14Make pg_dump/restore safer for autocommit=off in postgresql.conf.Bruce Momjian
2003-02-14In Informix mode ecpg should still be able to parse preprocessor directives.Michael Meskes
2003-02-14Update FAQ's in head and 7.3.X.Bruce Momjian
2003-02-14- Synced parser and keyword file.Michael Meskes
- More work on Informix compatibility.
2003-02-14Fix some of the breakage from the IPV6 patch.Tom Lane
2003-02-14Remove bogus manipulation of SIGPIPE; the backend already runs withTom Lane
SIGPIPE disabled, and does not need to waste two syscalls per I/O on it.
2003-02-13Repair incorrect indexing for atttypmod, per Brad McLean.Tom Lane
2003-02-13Result of lo_read() is int, not size_t. Per Oleg Drokin.Tom Lane
2003-02-13Parser was dropping foreign-key constraints on the floor if present inTom Lane
an ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN command. Per bug #896.
2003-02-13Repair rule permissions-checking bug reported by Tim Burgess 10-Feb-02:Tom Lane
the table(s) modified by the original query would get checked for the type of write permission needed by a rule query.
2003-02-13Arrange to give error when a SetOp member statement refers to a variableTom Lane
of the containing query (which really can only happen in a rule context). Per example from Brandon Craig Rhodes. Also, make the error message more specific for the similar case with sub-select in FROM. The revised coding should be easier to adapt to SQL99's LATERAL(), when we get around to supporting that.
2003-02-13Just intermediate results for backup reasons.Michael Meskes
2003-02-13transformExpr() was missing some cases it ought to allow; per reportTom Lane
from Greg Stark. Also, twiddle the FuncCall case to not scribble on the input structure, which was the proximate cause of the problem. Someday we ought to fix things so that transformExpr() isn't called on already-transformed trees ...
2003-02-13Suppress gcc warning.Tom Lane
2003-02-13Prevent timetz2tm() from scribbling on its input in HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP case.Tom Lane
2003-02-13- Applied error reporting patch by Matthew VanecekMichael Meskes

2003-02-13This patch fixes an error in the usage message for 'clusterdb', andBruce Momjian
makes a few editorial changes to the documentation. Neil Conway
2003-02-13This trivial patch removes the usage of some old statistics code that noBruce Momjian
longer works -- IncrHeapAccessStat() didn't actually *do* anything anymore, so no reason to keep it around AFAICS. I also fixed a grammatical error in a comment. Neil Conway
2003-02-13Adds in NO MAXVALUE and NO MINVALUE options for create sequence per 200XBruce Momjian
spec, which will also make alter sequence a touch easier. sequence.c init_params() will check for settings which have been defined twice, and complain. Rod Taylor
2003-02-13The "random" regression test uses a function called oidrand(), whichBruce Momjian
takes two parameters, an OID x and an integer y, and returns "true" with probability 1/y (the OID argument is ignored). This can be useful -- for example, it can be used to select a random sampling of the rows in a table (which is what the "random" regression test uses it for). This patch removes that function, because it was old and messy. The old function had the following problems: - it was undocumented - it was poorly named - it was designed to workaround an optimizer bug that no longer exists (the OID argument is to ensure that the optimizer won't optimize away calls to the function; AFAIK marking the function as 'volatile' suffices nowadays) - it used a different random-number generation technique than the other PSRNG-related functions in the backend do (it called random() like they do, but it had its own logic for setting a set and deciding when to reseed the RNG). Ok, this patch removes oidrand(), oidsrand(), and userfntest(), and improves the SGML docs a little bit (un-commenting the setseed() documentation). Neil Conway

2003-02-13This patch makes pg_get_constraintdef support UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY andBruce Momjian
CHECK constraints. There are apparently no other types of constraint in pg_constraint, so now all bases are covered. Also, this patch assumes that consrc for a CHECK constraint is always bracketed so that it's not necessary to add extra brackets. Christopher Kings-Lynne

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, Joe p.s. Here's what the previous example now looks like: CREATE TABLE bar(f1 int, f2 text, f3 int); INSERT INTO bar VALUES(1, 'Hello', 42); INSERT INTO bar VALUES(2, 'Happy', 45); CREATE TABLE foo(a int, b text); INSERT INTO foo VALUES(42, 'World'); INSERT INTO foo VALUES(42, 'Everyone'); INSERT INTO foo VALUES(45, 'Birthday'); INSERT INTO foo VALUES(45, 'New Year'); CREATE TABLE foo2(a int, b text); INSERT INTO foo2 VALUES(42, '!!!!'); 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 ' language 'sql'; CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getfoo2(int) RETURNS SETOF text AS ' SELECT b FROM foo2 WHERE a = $1 ' language 'sql'; regression=# SELECT f1, f2, getfoo(f3) AS f4 FROM bar; f1 | f2 | f4 ----+-------+---------- 1 | Hello | World 1 | Hello | Everyone 2 | Happy | Birthday 2 | Happy | New Year (4 rows) regression=# SELECT f1, f2, getfoo(f3) AS f4, getfoo2(f3) AS f5 FROM bar; ERROR: Only one target list entry may return a set result Joe Conway

Let's make that a three line patch, then. Ross J. Reedstrom

2003-02-11Fix buffer clearing bug.Peter Eisentraut
2003-02-11Use a varno not chosen at random for dummy variables in the top-levelTom Lane
targetlist of a set-operation tree. I'm not sure that this solution will really stand the test of time --- perhaps we need to make a special RTE for such vars to refer to. But this quick hack fixes Brandon Craig Rhodes' complaint of 10-Feb-02 about EXCEPT in CREATE RULE, while not changing any behavior in the better-tested cases where leftmostRTI is one anyway.
2003-02-10Fix thinko in new logic about pushing down non-nullability constraints:Tom Lane
constraints appearing in outer-join qualification clauses are restricted as to when and where they can be pushed down. Add regression test to catch future errors in this area.
2003-02-10Add code to show join rule (for outer and IN joins) in join type name.Tom Lane
2003-02-10Get rid of last few vestiges of parsetree dependency on grammar tokenTom Lane
codes, per discussion from last March. parse.h should now be included *only* by gram.y, scan.l, keywords.c, parser.c. This prevents surprising misbehavior after seemingly-trivial grammar adjustments.
2003-02-09Detect case where an outer join can be reduced to a plain inner joinTom Lane
because there are WHERE clauses that will reject the null-extended rows. Per suggestion from Brandon Craig Rhodes, 19-Nov-02.

2003-02-09Better error message on character set mismatches during conversion to unicode.Barry Lind
Also applied patch from Lars Stenberg to make callable statements use the form select * from func() when running against a 7.3 server instead of select func() to allow for set returning functions to be called. Modified Files: jdbc/org/postgresql/errors.properties jdbc/org/postgresql/core/Encoding.java jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc1/AbstractJdbc1Statement.java
2003-02-09Create a distinction between Lists of integers and Lists of OIDs, to getTom Lane
rid of the assumption that sizeof(Oid)==sizeof(int). This is one small step towards someday supporting 8-byte OIDs. For the moment, it doesn't do much except get rid of a lot of unsightly casts.
2003-02-09Remove bogus comment (too freely copied & pasted).Tom Lane
2003-02-09Make further use of new bitmapset code: executor's chgParam, extParam,Tom Lane
locParam lists can be converted to bitmapsets to speed updating. Also, replace 'locParam' with 'allParam', which contains all the paramIDs relevant to the node (i.e., the union of extParam and locParam); this saves a step during SetChangedParamList() without costing anything elsewhere.
2003-02-08Replace planner's representation of relation sets, per pghackers discussion.Tom Lane
Instead of Lists of integers, we now store variable-length bitmap sets. This should be faster as well as less error-prone.
