* doc: Update uses of the word "procedure"Peter Eisentraut2018-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Historically, the term procedure was used as a synonym for function in Postgres/PostgreSQL. Now we have procedures as separate objects from functions, so we need to clean up the documentation to not mix those terms. In particular, mentions of "trigger procedures" are changed to "trigger functions", and access method "support procedures" are changed to "support functions". (The latter already used FUNCTION in the SQL syntax anyway.) Also, the terminology in the SPI chapter has been cleaned up. A few tests, examples, and code comments are also adjusted to be consistent with documentation changes, but not everything. Reported-by: Peter Geoghegan <pg@bowt.ie> Reviewed-by: Jonathan S.

* Allow no-op GiST support functions to be omitted.Tom Lane2017-09-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are common use-cases in which the compress and/or decompress functions can be omitted, with the result being that we make no data transformation when storing or retrieving index values. Previously, you had to provide a no-op function anyway, but this patch allows such opclass support functions to be omitted. Furthermore, if the compress function is omitted, then the core code knows that the stored representation is the same as the original data. This means we can allow index-only scans without requiring a fetch function to be provided either. Previously you had to provide a no-op fetch function if you wanted IOS to work. This reportedly provides a small performance benefit in such cases, but IMO the real reason for doing it is just to reduce the amount of useless boilerplate code that has to be written for GiST opclasses.

* Re-run pgindent.Tom Lane2017-06-13
| | | | | | | | This is just to have a clean base state for testing of Piotr Stefaniak's latest version of FreeBSD indent. I fixed up a couple of places where pgindent would have changed format not-nicely. perltidy not included.

* Fix wording in amvalidate error messagesAlvaro Herrera2017-05-30
| | | | | | | | Remove some gratuituous message differences by making the AM name previously embedded in each message be a %s instead. While at it, get rid of terminology that's unclear and unnecessary in one message. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/20170523001557.bq2hbq7hxyvyw62q@alvherre.pgsql

* Improve index AMs' opclass validation procedures.Tom Lane2016-01-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The amvalidate functions added in commit 65c5fcd353a859da were on the crude side. Improve them in a few ways: * Perform signature checking for operators and support functions. * Apply more thorough checks for missing operators and functions, where possible. * Instead of reporting problems as ERRORs, report most problems as INFO messages and make the amvalidate function return FALSE. This allows more than one problem to be discovered per run. * Report object names rather than OIDs, and work a bit harder on making the messages understandable. Also, remove a few more opr_sanity regression test queries that are now superseded by the amvalidate checks.
* Restructure index access method API to hide most of it at the C level.Tom Lane2016-01-17
This patch reduces pg_am to just two columns, a name and a handler function. All the data formerly obtained from pg_am is now provided in a C struct returned by the handler function. This is similar to the designs we've adopted for FDWs and tablesample methods. There are multiple advantages. For one, the index AM's support functions are now simple C functions, making them faster to call and much less error-prone, since the C compiler can now check function signatures. For another, this will make it far more practical to define index access methods in installable extensions. A disadvantage is that SQL-level code can no longer see attributes of index AMs; in particular, some of the crosschecks in the opr_sanity regression test are no longer possible from SQL. We've addressed that by adding a facility for the index AM to perform such checks instead. (Much more could be done in that line, but for now we're content if the amvalidate functions more or less replace what opr_sanity used to do.) We might also want to expose some sort of reporting functionality, but this patch doesn't do that. Alexander Korotkov, reviewed by Petr JelĂ­nek, and rather heavily editorialized on by me.
