* Fix the mechanism for reporting the original table OID and column numberTom Lane2005-06-22
| | | | | of columns of a query result so that it can "see through" cursors and prepared statements. Per gripe a couple months back from John DeSoi.
* Change CREATE TYPE to require datatype output and send functions to haveTom Lane2005-05-01
| | | | | | | only one argument. (Per recent discussion, the option to accept multiple arguments is pretty useless for user-defined types, and would be a likely source of security holes if it was used.) Simplify call sites of output/send functions to not bother passing more than one argument.
* Recent changes got the sense of the notnull bit backwards in the 2.0Tom Lane2005-04-23

* Merge Resdom nodes into TargetEntry nodes to simplify code and save aTom Lane2005-04-06
| | | | | | | | | few palloc's. I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date. initdb forced due to change in contents of stored rules.
* Revise TupleTableSlot code to avoid unnecessary construction and disassemblyTom Lane2005-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of tuples when passing data up through multiple plan nodes. A slot can now hold either a normal "physical" HeapTuple, or a "virtual" tuple consisting of Datum/isnull arrays. Upper plan levels can usually just copy the Datum arrays, avoiding heap_formtuple() and possible subsequent nocachegetattr() calls to extract the data again. This work extends Atsushi Ogawa's earlier patch, which provided the key idea of adding Datum arrays to TupleTableSlots. (I believe however that something like this was foreseen way back in Berkeley days --- see the old comment on ExecProject.) A test case involving many levels of join of fairly wide tables (about 80 columns altogether) showed about 3x overall speedup, though simple queries will probably not be helped very much. I have also duplicated some code in heaptuple.c in order to provide versions of heap_formtuple and friends that use "bool" arrays to indicate null attributes, instead of the old convention of "char" arrays containing either 'n' or ' '. This provides a better match to the convention used by ExecEvalExpr. While I have not made a concerted effort to get rid of uses of the old routines, I think they should be deprecated and eventually removed.

* Infrastructure for I/O of composite types: arrange for the I/O routinesTom Lane2004-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | of a composite type to get that type's OID as their second parameter, in place of typelem which is useless. The actual changes are mostly centralized in getTypeInputInfo and siblings, but I had to fix a few places that were fetching pg_type.typelem for themselves instead of using the lsyscache.c routines. Also, I renamed all the related variables from 'typelem' to 'typioparam' to discourage people from assuming that they necessarily contain array element types.
* Resurrect heap_deformtuple(), this time implemented as a singly nestedTom Lane2004-06-04
| | | | | | | | | | loop over the fields instead of a loop around heap_getattr. This is considerably faster (O(N) instead of O(N^2)) when there are nulls or varlena fields, since those prevent use of attcacheoff. Replace loops over heap_getattr with heap_deformtuple in situations where all or most of the fields have to be fetched, such as printtup and tuptoaster. Profiling done more than a year ago shows that this should be a nice win for situations involving many-column tables.
* Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway2004-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer. A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes. The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope, be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
* More janitorial work: remove the explicit casting of NULL literals to aNeil Conway2004-01-07
| | | | | | | | pointer type when it is not necessary to do so. For future reference, casting NULL to a pointer type is only necessary when (a) invoking a function AND either (b) the function has no prototype OR (c) the function is a varargs function.

* Make sure printtup() always sends the number of columns previouslyTom Lane2003-05-26
| | | | | | | | advertised in RowDescription message. Depending on the physical tuple's column count is not really correct, since according to heap_getattr() conventions the tuple may be short some columns, which will automatically get read as nulls. Problem has been latent since forever, but was only exposed by recent change to skip a projection step in SELECT * FROM...
* In RowDescription messages, report columns of domain datatypes as havingTom Lane2003-05-13
| | | | | | the type OID and typmod of the underlying base type. Per discussions a few weeks ago with Andreas Pflug and others. Note that this behavioral change affects both old- and new-protocol clients.
* Implement new-protocol binary I/O support in DataRow, Bind, and FunctionCallTom Lane2003-05-09
| | | | | messages. Binary I/O is now up and working, but only for a small set of datatypes (integers, text, bytea).
* Update 3.0 protocol support to match recent agreements about how toTom Lane2003-05-08
| | | | | | | handle multiple 'formats' for data I/O. Restructure CommandDest and DestReceiver stuff one more time (it's finally starting to look a bit clean though). Code now matches latest 3.0 protocol document as far as message formats go --- but there is no support for binary I/O yet.
* Restructure command destination handling so that we pass aroundTom Lane2003-05-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | DestReceiver pointers instead of just CommandDest values. The DestReceiver is made at the point where the destination is selected, rather than deep inside the executor. This cleans up the original kluge implementation of tstoreReceiver.c, and makes it easy to support retrieving results from utility statements inside portals. Thus, you can now do fun things like Bind and Execute a FETCH or EXPLAIN command, and it'll all work as expected (e.g., you can Describe the portal, or use Execute's count parameter to suspend the output partway through). Implementation involves stuffing the utility command's output into a Tuplestore, which would be kind of annoying for huge output sets, but should be quite acceptable for typical uses of utility commands.
* Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifiesTom Lane2003-05-06
| | | | | | | | | the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms. 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. initdb forced due to change in stored rule representation.
* Extended query protocol: parse, bind, execute, describe FE/BE messages.Tom Lane2003-05-05
| | | | Only lightly tested as yet, since libpq doesn't know anything about 'em.
* Add transaction status field to ReadyForQuery messages, and make roomTom Lane2003-04-26
| | | | | | for tableID/columnID in RowDescription. (The latter isn't really implemented yet though --- the backend always sends zeroes, and libpq just throws away the data.)
* Another round of protocol changes. Backend-to-frontend messages now allTom Lane2003-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | have length words. COPY OUT reimplemented per new protocol: it doesn't need \. anymore, thank goodness. COPY BINARY to/from frontend works, at least as far as the backend is concerned --- libpq's PQgetline API is not up to snuff, and will have to be replaced with something that is null-safe. libpq uses message length words for performance improvement (no cycles wasted rescanning long messages), but not yet for error recovery.

| | | | | | | value '-2' is used to indicate a variable-width type whose width is computed as strlen(datum)+1. Everything that looks at typlen is updated except for array support, which Joe Conway is working on; at the moment it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.
* Add a bunch of pseudo-types to replace the behavior formerly associatedTom Lane2002-08-22

* Clean up BeginCommand and related routines. BeginCommand and EndCommandTom Lane2002-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | are now both invoked once per received SQL command (raw parsetree) from pg_exec_query_string. BeginCommand is actually just an empty routine at the moment --- all its former operations have been pushed into tuple receiver setup routines in printtup.c. This makes for a clean distinction between BeginCommand/EndCommand (once per command) and the tuple receiver setup/teardown routines (once per ExecutorRun call), whereas the old code was quite ad hoc. Along the way, clean up the calling conventions for ExecutorRun a little bit.

* Fix portability problems recently exposed by regression tests on Alphas.Tom Lane2000-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | 1. Distinguish cases where a Datum representing a tuple datatype is an OID from cases where it is a pointer to TupleTableSlot, and make sure we use the right typlen in each case. 2. Make fetchatt() and related code support 8-byte by-value datatypes on machines where Datum is 8 bytes. Centralize knowledge of the available by-value datatype sizes in two macros in tupmacs.h, so that this will be easier if we ever have to do it again.
