* Restructure some header files a bit, in particular heapam.h, by removing someAlvaro Herrera2008-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | unnecessary #include lines in it. Also, move some tuple routine prototypes and macros to htup.h, which allows removal of heapam.h inclusion from some .c files. For this to work, a new header file access/sysattr.h needed to be created, initially containing attribute numbers of system columns, for pg_dump usage. While at it, make contrib ltree, intarray and hstore header files more consistent with our header style.
* Reduce the need for frontend programs to include "postgres.h" by refactoringTom Lane2008-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | inclusions in src/include/catalog/*.h files. The main idea here is to push function declarations for src/backend/catalog/*.c files into separate headers, rather than sticking them into the corresponding catalog definition file as has been done in the past. This commit only carries out that idea fully for pg_proc, pg_type and pg_conversion, but that's enough for the moment --- if pg_list.h ever becomes unsafe for frontend code to include, we'll need to work a bit more.

* Move the HTSU_Result enum definition into snapshot.h, to avoid includingAlvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | | | tqual.h into heapam.h. This makes all inclusion of tqual.h explicit. I also sorted alphabetically the includes on some source files.
* Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary CTom Lane2008-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane

* 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.
* Support SET FROM CURRENT in CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, ALTER DATABASE, ALTER ROLE.Tom Lane2007-09-03
| | | | | | | (Actually, it works as a plain statement too, but I didn't document that because it seems a bit useless.) Unify VariableResetStmt with VariableSetStmt, and clean up some ancient cruft in the representation of same.
* Implement function-local GUC parameter settings, as per recent discussion.Tom Lane2007-09-03
| | | | | | | There are still some loose ends: I didn't do anything about the SET FROM CURRENT idea yet, and it's not real clear whether we are happy with the interaction of SET LOCAL with function-local settings. The documentation is a bit spartan, too.

* Add COST and ROWS options to CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, plus underlying pg_procTom Lane2007-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | columns procost and prorows, to allow simple user adjustment of the estimated cost of a function call, as well as control of the estimated number of rows returned by a set-returning function. We might eventually wish to extend this to allow function-specific estimation routines, but there seems to be consensus that we should try a simple constant estimate first. In particular this provides a relatively simple way to control the order in which different WHERE clauses are applied in a plan node, which is a Good Thing in view of the fact that the recent EquivalenceClass planner rewrite made that much less predictable than before.

* Support the syntaxTom Lane2006-04-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | CREATE AGGREGATE aggname (input_type) (parameter_list) along with the old syntax where the input type was named in the parameter list. This fits more naturally with the way that the aggregate is identified in DROP AGGREGATE and other utility commands; furthermore it has a natural extension to handle multiple-input aggregates, where the basetype-parameter method would get ugly. In fact, this commit fixes the grammar and all the utility commands to support multiple-input aggregates; but DefineAggregate rejects it because the executor isn't fixed yet. I didn't do anything about treating agg(*) as a zero-input aggregate instead of artificially making it a one-input aggregate, but that should be considered in combination with supporting multi-input aggregates.
* 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.

* Implement DROP OWNED and REASSIGN OWNED. These new commands facilitate theAlvaro Herrera2005-11-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | process of dropping roles by dropping objects owned by them and privileges granted to them, or giving the owned objects to someone else, through the use of the data stored in the new pg_shdepend catalog. Some refactoring of the GRANT/REVOKE code was needed, as well as ALTER OWNER code. Further cleanup of code duplication in the GRANT code seems necessary. Implemented by me after an idea from Tom Lane, who also provided various kind of implementation advice. Regression tests pass. Some tests for the new functionality are also added, as well as rudimentary documentation.

* Create the pg_pltemplate system catalog to hold template informationTom Lane2005-09-08

* Fix unwanted denial of ALTER OWNER rights to superusers. There was someTom Lane2005-08-22
| | | | | | discussion of getting around this by relaxing the checks made for regular users, but I'm disinclined to toy with the security model right now, so just special-case it for superusers where needed.
* Add ALTER object SET SCHEMA capability for a limited but useful set ofTom Lane2005-08-01
| | | | | | object kinds (tables, functions, types). Documentation is not here yet. Original code by Bernd Helmle, extensive rework by Bruce Momjian and Tom Lane.
* Adjust permissions checking for ALTER OWNER commands: instead ofTom Lane2005-07-14
| | | | | | | | | | | requiring superuserness always, allow an owner to reassign ownership to any role he is a member of, if that role would have the right to create a similar object. These three requirements essentially state that the would-be alterer has enough privilege to DROP the existing object and then re-CREATE it as the new role; so we might as well let him do it in one step. The ALTER TABLESPACE case is a bit squirrely, but the whole concept of non-superuser tablespace owners is pretty dubious anyway. Stephen Frost, code review by Tom Lane.
* Track dependencies on shared objects (which is to say, roles; we alreadyTom Lane2005-07-07
| | | | | | | have adequate mechanisms for tracking the contents of databases and tablespaces). This solves the longstanding problem that you can drop a user who still owns objects and/or has access permissions. Alvaro Herrera, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.
* Replace pg_shadow and pg_group by new role-capable catalogs pg_authidTom Lane2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should be pretty much done.
* Completion of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane2005-04-14
| | | | | | | indexes. Replace all heap_openr and index_openr calls by heap_open and index_open. Remove runtime lookups of catalog OID numbers in various places. Remove relcache's support for looking up system catalogs by name. Bulky but mostly very boring patch ...
* First phase of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs andTom Lane2005-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | indexes. Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap code to make the relations actually get those OIDs. Remove the small number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros. Next phase will get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes; but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a good place to commit. Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be 'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired entries and simplify changing those relations in future. I'm not sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.
* First phase of OUT-parameters project. We can now define and use SQLTom Lane2005-03-31
| | | | | functions with OUT parameters. The various PLs still need work, as does pg_dump. Rudimentary docs and regression tests included.
* Fix grammar for IN/OUT/INOUT parameters. This commit doesn't actuallyTom Lane2005-03-29
| | | | | | | | implement any new feature, it just pushes the 'not implemented' error message deeper into the backend. I also tweaked the grammar to accept Oracle-ish parameter syntax (parameter name first), as well as the SQL99 standard syntax (parameter mode first), since it was easy and people will doubtless try to use both anyway.
* Convert oidvector and int2vector into variable-length arrays. ThisTom Lane2005-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | change saves a great deal of space in pg_proc and its primary index, and it eliminates the former requirement that INDEX_MAX_KEYS and FUNC_MAX_ARGS have the same value. INDEX_MAX_KEYS is still embedded in the on-disk representation (because it affects index tuple header size), but FUNC_MAX_ARGS is not. I believe it would now be possible to increase FUNC_MAX_ARGS at little cost, but haven't experimented yet. There are still a lot of vestigial references to FUNC_MAX_ARGS, which I will clean up in a separate pass. However, getting rid of it altogether would require changing the FunctionCallInfoData struct, and I'm not sure I want to buy into that.
* Allow ALTER FUNCTION to change a function's strictness, volatility, andNeil Conway2005-03-14
| | | | | | | | | whether or not it is a security definer. Changing a function's strictness is required by SQL2003, and the other capabilities make sense. Also, allow an optional RESTRICT noise word to be specified, for SQL conformance. Some trivial regression tests added and the documentation has been updated.

* Cause ALTER OWNER commands to update the object's ACL, replacing referencesTom Lane2004-08-01

* Represent type-specific length coercion functions as pg_cast entries,Tom Lane2004-06-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | eliminating the former hard-wired convention about their names. Allow pg_cast entries to represent both type coercion and length coercion in a single step --- this is represented by a function that takes an extra typmod argument, just like a length coercion function. This nicely merges the type and length coercion mechanisms into something at least a little cleaner than we had before. Make use of the single- coercion-step behavior to fix integer-to-bit coercion so that coercing to bit(n) yields the rightmost n bits of the integer instead of the leftmost n bits. This should fix recurrent complaints about the odd behavior of this coercion. Clean up the documentation of the bit string functions, and try to put it where people might actually find it. Also, get rid of the unreliable heuristics in ruleutils.c about whether to display nested coercion steps; instead require parse_coerce.c to label them properly in the first place.
* 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.
* Tighten parsing of boolean options to CREATE TYPE and related functions,Tom Lane2004-05-14
| | | | | so as to deliver more useful error messages for mistakes like 'PASSEDBYVALUE = f'. Per gripe from Gaetano Mendola.
* Solve the 'Turkish problem' with undesirable locale behavior for caseTom Lane2004-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp; remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.
* Implement a solution to the 'Turkish locale downcases I incorrectly'Tom Lane2004-02-21
| | | | | | problem, per previous discussion. Make some additional changes to centralize the knowledge of just how identifier downcasing is done, in hopes of simplifying any future tweaking in this area.
* Apply the core parts of Dennis Bjorklund's patch to allow functionTom Lane2004-01-06
| | | | | | | | | parameters to be declared with names. pg_proc has a column to store names, and CREATE FUNCTION can insert data into it, but that's all as yet. I need to do more work on the pg_dump and plpgsql portions of the patch before committing those, but I thought I'd get the bulky changes in before the tree drifts under me. initdb forced due to pg_proc change.
