| | | | Backpatch certain files through 9.0
* pgindent run for 9.4Bruce Momjian2014-05-06
| | | | | This includes removing tabs after periods in C comments, which was applied to back branches, so this change should not effect backpatching.
* Address ccvalid/ccnoinherit in TupleDesc support functions.Noah Misch2014-03-23
| | | | | | | | | equalTupleDescs() neglected both of these ConstrCheck fields, and CreateTupleDescCopyConstr() neglected ccnoinherit. At this time, the only known behavior defect resulting from these omissions is constraint exclusion disregarding a CHECK constraint validated by an ALTER TABLE VALIDATE CONSTRAINT statement issued earlier in the same transaction. Back-patch to 9.2, where these fields were introduced.

* Support multi-argument UNNEST(), and TABLE() syntax for multiple functions.Tom Lane2013-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds the ability to write TABLE( function1(), function2(), ...) as a single FROM-clause entry. The result is the concatenation of the first row from each function, followed by the second row from each function, etc; with NULLs inserted if any function produces fewer rows than others. This is believed to be a much more useful behavior than what Postgres currently does with multiple SRFs in a SELECT list. This syntax also provides a reasonable way to combine use of column definition lists with WITH ORDINALITY: put the column definition list inside TABLE(), where it's clear that it doesn't control the ordinality column as well. Also implement SQL-compliant multiple-argument UNNEST(), by turning UNNEST(a,b,c) into TABLE(unnest(a), unnest(b), unnest(c)). The SQL standard specifies TABLE() with only a single function, not multiple functions, and it seems to require an implicit UNNEST() which is not what this patch does. There may be something wrong with that reading of the spec, though, because if it's right then the spec's TABLE() is just a pointless alternative spelling of UNNEST(). After further review of that, we might choose to adopt a different syntax for what this patch does, but in any case this functionality seems clearly worthwhile.

* Prevent using strncpy with src == dest in TupleDescInitEntry.Tom Lane2013-10-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The C and POSIX standards state that strncpy's behavior is undefined when source and destination areas overlap. While it remains dubious whether any implementations really misbehave when the pointers are exactly equal, some platforms are now starting to force the issue by complaining when an undefined call occurs. (In particular OS X 10.9 has been seen to dump core here, though the exact set of circumstances needed to trigger that remain elusive. Similar behavior can be expected to be optional on Linux and other platforms in the near future.) So tweak the code to explicitly do nothing when nothing need be done. Back-patch to all active branches. In HEAD, this also lets us get rid of an exception in valgrind.supp. Per discussion of a report from Matthias Schmitt.

* Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.hAlvaro Herrera2012-08-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which is very widely included by many files. I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well, because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h. In itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h change now while I'm busy with it.
* Split resowner.hAlvaro Herrera2012-08-28
| | | | | This lets files that are mere users of ResourceOwner not automatically include the headers for stuff that is managed by the resowner mechanism.
* Improve reporting of permission errors for array typesPeter Eisentraut2012-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Because permissions are assigned to element types, not array types, complaining about permission denied on an array type would be misleading to users. So adjust the reporting to refer to the element type instead. In order not to duplicate the required logic in two dozen places, refactor the permission denied reporting for types a bit. pointed out by Yeb Havinga during the review of the type privilege feature

* Add support for privileges on typesPeter Eisentraut2011-12-20
| | | | | | | | | This adds support for the more or less SQL-conforming USAGE privilege on types and domains. The intent is to be able restrict which users can create dependencies on types, which restricts the way in which owners can alter types. reviewed by Yeb Havinga

* Enable CHECK constraints to be declared NOT VALIDAlvaro Herrera2011-06-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This means that they can initially be added to a large existing table without checking its initial contents, but new tuples must comply to them; a separate pass invoked by ALTER TABLE / VALIDATE can verify existing data and ensure it complies with the constraint, at which point it is marked validated and becomes a normal part of the table ecosystem. An non-validated CHECK constraint is ignored in the planner for constraint_exclusion purposes; when validated, cached plans are recomputed so that partitioning starts working right away. This patch also enables domains to have unvalidated CHECK constraints attached to them as well by way of ALTER DOMAIN / ADD CONSTRAINT / NOT VALID, which can later be validated with ALTER DOMAIN / VALIDATE CONSTRAINT. Thanks to Thom Brown, Dean Rasheed and Jaime Casanova for the various reviews, and Robert Hass for documentation wording improvement suggestions. This patch was sponsored by Enova Financial.
* Make a code-cleanup pass over the collations patch.Tom Lane2011-04-22
| | | | | | | This patch is almost entirely cosmetic --- mostly cleaning up a lot of neglected comments, and fixing code layout problems in places where the patch made lines too long and then pgindent did weird things with that. I did find a bug-of-omission in equalTupleDescs().
* Clean up cruft around collation initialization for tupdescs and scankeys.Tom Lane2011-03-26
| | | | | I found actual bugs in GiST and plpgsql; the rest of this is cosmetic but meant to decrease the odds of future bugs of omission.
* Remove collation information from TypeName, where it does not belong.Tom Lane2011-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initial collations patch treated a COLLATE spec as part of a TypeName, following what can only be described as brain fade on the part of the SQL committee. It's a lot more reasonable to treat COLLATE as a syntactically separate object, so that it can be added in only the productions where it actually belongs, rather than needing to reject it in a boatload of places where it doesn't belong (something the original patch mostly failed to do). In addition this change lets us meet the spec's requirement to allow COLLATE anywhere in the clauses of a ColumnDef, and it avoids unfriendly behavior for constructs such as "foo::type COLLATE collation". To do this, pull collation information out of TypeName and put it in ColumnDef instead, thus reverting most of the collation-related changes in parse_type.c's API. I made one additional structural change, which was to use a ColumnDef as an intermediate node in AT_AlterColumnType AlterTableCmd nodes. This provides enough room to get rid of the "transform" wart in AlterTableCmd too, since the ColumnDef can carry the USING expression easily enough. Also fix some other minor bugs that have crept in in the same areas, like failure to copy recently-added fields of ColumnDef in copyfuncs.c. While at it, document the formerly secret ability to specify a collation in ALTER TABLE ALTER COLUMN TYPE, ALTER TYPE ADD ATTRIBUTE, and ALTER TYPE ALTER ATTRIBUTE TYPE; and correct some misstatements about what the default collation selection will be when COLLATE is omitted. BTW, the three-parameter form of format_type() should go away too, since it just contributes to the confusion in this area; but I'll do that in a separate patch.

* Refactor typenameTypeId()Peter Eisentraut2010-10-25

* Wrap calls to SearchSysCache and related functions using macros.Robert Haas2010-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists, GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4). This will make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code shorter, too. Design and review by Tom Lane.
* Replace ALTER TABLE ... SET STATISTICS DISTINCT with a more general mechanism.Robert Haas2010-01-22
| | | | | | | | | Attributes can now have options, just as relations and tablespaces do, and the reloptions code is used to parse, validate, and store them. For simplicity and because these options are not performance critical, we store them in a separate cache rather than the main relcache. Thanks to Alex Hunsaker for the review.

* Make backend header files C++ safePeter Eisentraut2009-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | This alters various incidental uses of C++ key words to use other similar identifiers, so that a C++ compiler won't choke outright. You still (probably) need extern "C" { }; around the inclusion of backend headers. based on a patch by Kurt Harriman <harriman@acm.org> Also add a script cpluspluscheck to check for C++ compatibility in the future. As of right now, this passes without error for me.

* Change the rules for inherited CHECK constraints to be essentially the sameTom Lane2008-05-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | as those for inherited columns; that is, it's no longer allowed for a child table to not have a check constraint matching one that exists on a parent. This satisfies the principle of least surprise (rows selected from the parent will always appear to meet its check constraints) and eliminates some longstanding bogosity in pg_dump, which formerly had to guess about whether check constraints were really inherited or not. The implementation involves adding conislocal and coninhcount columns to pg_constraint (paralleling attislocal and attinhcount in pg_attribute) and refactoring various ALTER TABLE actions to be more like those for columns.

* Ensure that typmod decoration on a datatype name is validated in all cases,Tom Lane2007-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | even in code paths where we don't pay any subsequent attention to the typmod value. This seems needed in view of the fact that 8.3's generalized typmod support will accept a lot of bogus syntax, such as "timestamp(foo)" or "record(int, 42)" --- if we allow such things to pass without comment, users will get confused. Per a recent example from Greg Stark. To implement this in a way that's not very vulnerable to future bugs-of-omission, refactor the API of parse_type.c's TypeName lookup routines so that typmod validation is folded into the base lookup operation. Callers can still choose not to receive the encoded typmod, but we'll check the decoration anyway if it's present.

* Fix problems with cached tuple descriptors disappearing while still in useTom Lane2006-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | by creating a reference-count mechanism, similar to what we did a long time ago for catcache entries. The back branches have an ugly solution involving lots of extra copies, but this way is more efficient. Reference counting is only applied to tupdescs that are actually in caches --- there seems no need to use it for tupdescs that are generated in the executor, since they'll go away during plan shutdown by virtue of being in the per-query memory context. Neil Conway and Tom Lane
* Clean up representation of function RTEs for functions returning RECORD.Tom Lane2006-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding stored the raw parser output (ColumnDef and TypeName nodes) which was ugly, bulky, and wrong because it failed to create any dependency on the referenced datatype --- and in fact would not track type renamings and suchlike. Instead store a list of column type OIDs in the RTE. Also fix up general failure of recordDependencyOnExpr to do anything sane about recording dependencies on datatypes. While there are many cases where there will be an indirect dependency (eg if an operator returns a datatype, the dependency on the operator is enough), we do have to record the datatype as a separate dependency in examples like CoerceToDomain. initdb forced because of change of stored rules.
* Improve parser so that we can show an error cursor position for errorsTom Lane2006-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages. This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq, which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.

* Make equalTupleDescs() compare attlen/attbyval/attalign rather thanTom Lane2005-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | assuming comparison of atttypid is sufficient. In a dropped column atttypid will be 0, and we'd better check the physical-storage data to make sure the tupdescs are physically compatible. I do not believe there is a real risk before 8.0, since before that we only used this routine to compare successive states of the tupdesc for a particular relation. But 8.0's typcache.c might be comparing arbitrary tupdescs so we'd better play it safer.
