* Add support for multiple versions of an extension and ALTER EXTENSION UPDATE.Tom Lane2011-02-11
| | | | | | | | | | | This follows recent discussions, so it's quite a bit different from Dimitri's original. There will probably be more changes once we get a bit of experience with it, but let's get it in and start playing with it. This is still just core code. I'll start converting contrib modules shortly. Dimitri Fontaine and Tom Lane
* Extend "ALTER EXTENSION ADD object" to permit "DROP object" as well.Tom Lane2011-02-10
| | | | | Per discussion, this is something we should have sooner rather than later, and it doesn't take much additional code to support it.
* Fix pg_upgrade to handle extensions.Tom Lane2011-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This follows my proposal of yesterday, namely that we try to recreate the previous state of the extension exactly, instead of allowing CREATE EXTENSION to run a SQL script that might create some entirely-incompatible on-disk state. In --binary-upgrade mode, pg_dump won't issue CREATE EXTENSION at all, but instead uses a kluge function provided by pg_upgrade_support to recreate the pg_extension row (and extension-level pg_depend entries) without creating any member objects. The member objects are then restored in the same way as if they weren't members, in particular using pg_upgrade's normal hacks to preserve OIDs that need to be preserved. Then, for each member object, ALTER EXTENSION ADD is issued to recreate the pg_depend entry that marks it as an extension member. In passing, fix breakage in pg_upgrade's enum-type support: somebody didn't fix it when the noise word VALUE got added to ALTER TYPE ADD. Also, rationalize parsetree representation of COMMENT ON DOMAIN and fix get_object_address() to allow OBJECT_DOMAIN.
* Implement "ALTER EXTENSION ADD object".Tom Lane2011-02-09
| | | | | | | | | | | This is an essential component of making the extension feature usable; first because it's needed in the process of converting an existing installation containing "loose" objects of an old contrib module into the extension-based world, and second because we'll have to use it in pg_dump --binary-upgrade, as per recent discussion. Loosely based on part of Dimitri Fontaine's ALTER EXTENSION UPGRADE patch.
* Suppress some compiler warnings in recent commits.Tom Lane2011-02-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Older versions of gcc tend to throw "variable might be clobbered by `longjmp' or `vfork'" warnings whenever a variable is assigned in more than one place and then used after the end of a PG_TRY block. That's reasonably easy to work around in execute_extension_script, and the overhead of unconditionally saving/restoring the GUC variables seems unlikely to be a serious concern. Also clean up logic in ATExecValidateConstraint to make it easier to read and less likely to provoke "variable might be used uninitialized in this function" warnings.
* Core support for "extensions", which are packages of SQL objects.Tom Lane2011-02-08
This patch adds the server infrastructure to support extensions. There is still one significant loose end, namely how to make it play nice with pg_upgrade, so I am not yet committing the changes that would make all the contrib modules depend on this feature. In passing, fix a disturbingly large amount of breakage in AlterObjectNamespace() and callers. Dimitri Fontaine, reviewed by Anssi Kääriäinen, Itagaki Takahiro, Tom Lane, and numerous others
