* Support expressions of the form 'scalar op ANY (array)' andTom Lane2003-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | 'scalar op ALL (array)', where the operator is applied between the lefthand scalar and each element of the array. The operator must yield boolean; the result of the construct is the OR or AND of the per-element results, respectively. Original coding by Joe Conway, after an idea of Peter's. Rewritten by Tom to keep the implementation strictly separate from subqueries.
* Create real array comparison functions (that use the element datatype'sTom Lane2003-06-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq. Create a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes on array columns. Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call. Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions. Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become supported functions. Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or zero-dimensional arrays. Joe Conway (with some editorializing by Tom Lane).

* Fix some planner performance problems with large WHERE clauses, byTom Lane2003-05-28
| | | | | | | introducing new 'FastList' list-construction subroutines to use in hot spots. This avoids the O(N^2) behavior of repeated lappend's by keeping a tail pointer, while not changing behavior by reversing list order as the lcons() method would do.
* Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.Tom Lane2003-05-02
| | | | | | | | | Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c, so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries. initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.
* First phase of work on array improvements. ARRAY[x,y,z] constructorTom Lane2003-04-08
| | | | | | | expressions, ARRAY(sub-SELECT) expressions, some array functions. Polymorphic functions using ANYARRAY/ANYELEMENT argument and return types. Some regression tests in place, documentation is lacking. Joe Conway, with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.
* This patch implements holdable cursors, following the proposalBruce Momjian2003-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (materialization into a tuple store) discussed on pgsql-hackers earlier. I've updated the documentation and the regression tests. Notes on the implementation: - I needed to change the tuple store API slightly -- it assumes that it won't be used to hold data across transaction boundaries, so the temp files that it uses for on-disk storage are automatically reclaimed at end-of-transaction. I added a flag to tuplestore_begin_heap() to control this behavior. Is changing the tuple store API in this fashion OK? - in order to store executor results in a tuple store, I added a new CommandDest. This works well for the most part, with one exception: the current DestFunction API doesn't provide enough information to allow the Executor to store results into an arbitrary tuple store (where the particular tuple store to use is chosen by the call site of ExecutorRun). To workaround this, I've temporarily hacked up a solution that works, but is not ideal: since the receiveTuple DestFunction is passed the portal name, we can use that to lookup the Portal data structure for the cursor and then use that to get at the tuple store the Portal is using. This unnecessarily ties the Portal code with the tupleReceiver code, but it works... The proper fix for this is probably to change the DestFunction API -- Tom suggested passing the full QueryDesc to the receiveTuple function. In that case, callers of ExecutorRun could "subclass" QueryDesc to add any additional fields that their particular CommandDest needed to get access to. This approach would work, but I'd like to think about it for a little bit longer before deciding which route to go. In the mean time, the code works fine, so I don't think a fix is urgent. - (semi-related) I added a NO SCROLL keyword to DECLARE CURSOR, and adjusted the behavior of SCROLL in accordance with the discussion on -hackers. - (unrelated) Cleaned up some SGML markup in sql.sgml, copy.sgml Neil Conway
* Revise tuplestore and nodeMaterial so that we don't have to read theTom Lane2003-03-09
| | | | | | | | | | entire contents of the subplan into the tuplestore before we can return any tuples. Instead, the tuplestore holds what we've already read, and we fetch additional rows from the subplan as needed. Random access to the previously-read rows works with the tuplestore, and doesn't affect the state of the partially-read subplan. This is a step towards fixing the problems with cursors over complex queries --- we don't want to stick in Materialize nodes if they'll prevent quick startup for a cursor.
* COALESCE() and NULLIF() are now first-class expressions, not macrosTom Lane2003-02-16
| | | | | that turn into CASE expressions. They evaluate their arguments at most once. Patch by Kris Jurka, review and (very light) editorializing by me.
* Determine the set of constraints applied to a domain at executorTom Lane2003-02-03
| | | | | | startup, not in the parser; this allows ALTER DOMAIN to work correctly with domain constraint operations stored in rules. Rod Taylor; code review by Tom Lane.
* First cut at implementing IN (and NOT IN) via hashtables. There isTom Lane2003-01-12
| | | | more to be done yet, but this is a good start.
* Further tweaking of parsetree & plantree representation of SubLinks.Tom Lane2003-01-10
| | | | | | | Simplify SubLink by storing just a List of operator OIDs, instead of a list of incomplete OpExprs --- that was a bizarre and bulky choice, with no redeeming social value since we have to build new OpExprs anyway when forming the plan tree.
* Revise executor APIs so that all per-query state structure is built inTom Lane2002-12-15
| | | | | | a per-query memory context created by CreateExecutorState --- and destroyed by FreeExecutorState. This provides a final solution to the longstanding problem of memory leaked by various ExecEndNode calls.
* Clean up plantree representation of SubPlan-s --- SubLink does not appearTom Lane2002-12-14
| | | | | | | | in the planned representation of a subplan at all any more, only SubPlan. This means subselect.c doesn't scribble on its input anymore, which seems like a good thing; and there are no longer three different possible interpretations of a SubLink. Simplify node naming and improve comments in primnodes.h. No change to stored rules, though.
* Phase 3 of read-only-plans project: ExecInitExpr now builds expressionTom Lane2002-12-13
| | | | | | | execution state trees, and ExecEvalExpr takes an expression state tree not an expression plan tree. The plan tree is now read-only as far as the executor is concerned. Next step is to begin actually exploiting this property.
* Preliminary code review for domain CHECK constraints patch: add documentation,Tom Lane2002-12-12
| | | | | | | | make VALUE a non-reserved word again, use less invasive method of passing ConstraintTestValue into transformExpr, fix problems with nested constraint testing, do correct thing with NULL result from a constraint expression, remove memory leak. Domain checks still need much more work if we are going to allow ALTER DOMAIN, however.
* Phase 2 of read-only-plans project: restructure expression-tree nodesTom Lane2002-12-12
| | | | | | | | | so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least a little space and speed improvement. initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.

* Phase 1 of read-only-plans project: cause executor state nodes to pointTom Lane2002-12-05
| | | | | | | | | | to plan nodes, not vice-versa. All executor state nodes now inherit from struct PlanState. Copying of plan trees has been simplified by not storing a list of SubPlans in Plan nodes (eliminating duplicate links). The executor still needs such a list, but it can build it during ExecutorStart since it has to scan the plan tree anyway. No initdb forced since no stored-on-disk structures changed, but you will need a full recompile because of node-numbering changes.
* Fix ExecMakeTableFunctionResult() to work with generic expressions asTom Lane2002-12-01
| | | | | | well as function calls. This is needed for cases where the planner has constant-folded or inlined the original function call. Possibly we should back-patch this change into 7.3 branch as well.
* Code review for IS DISTINCT FROM patch. Fix incorrect constant-foldingTom Lane2002-11-30
| | | | | | logic, dissuade planner from thinking that 'x IS DISTINCT FROM 42' may be optimized into 'x = 42' (!!), cause dependency on = operator to be recorded correctly, minor other improvements.

* Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headersTom Lane2002-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | (overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
* Code review for domain-constraints patch. Use a new ConstraintTest nodeTom Lane2002-08-31
| | | | | | | | | type for runtime constraint checks, instead of misusing the parse-time Constraint node for the purpose. Fix some damage introduced into type coercion logic; in particular ensure that a coerced expression tree will read out the correct result type when inspected (patch had broken some RelabelType cases). Enforce domain NOT NULL constraints against columns that are omitted from an INSERT.

* Add expected tuple descriptor to ReturnSetInfo information for tableTom Lane2002-08-30
| | | | | | functions, per suggestion from John Gray and Joe Conway. Also, fix plpgsql RETURN NEXT to verify that returned values match the expected tupdesc.
* PL/pgSQL functions can return sets. Neil Conway's patch, modified soTom Lane2002-08-30
| | | | | that the functionality is available to anyone via ReturnSetInfo, rather than hard-wiring it to PL/pgSQL.
* Modify array operations to include array's element type OID in theTom Lane2002-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | array header, and to compute sizing and alignment of array elements the same way normal tuple access operations do --- viz, using the tupmacs.h macros att_addlength and att_align. This makes the world safe for arrays of cstrings or intervals, and should make it much easier to write array-type-polymorphic functions; as examples see the cleanups of array_out and contrib/array_iterator. By Joe Conway and Tom Lane.
* oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian2002-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar
* Back out BETWEEN node patch, was causing initdb failure.Bruce Momjian2002-07-18

* Finished the Between patch Christopher started.Bruce Momjian2002-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | Implements between (symmetric / asymmetric) as a node. Executes the left or right expression once, makes a Const out of the resulting Datum and executes the >=, <= portions out of the Const sets. Of course, the parser does a fair amount of preparatory work for this to happen. Rod Taylor
* I've fixed up the way domain constraints (not null and type length)Bruce Momjian2002-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | are managed as per request. Moved from merging with table attributes to applying themselves during coerce_type() and coerce_type_typmod. Regression tests altered to test the cast() scenarios. Rod Taylor

* Implement the IS DISTINCT FROM operator per SQL99.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-07-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required by SQL99. We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend. Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99. This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses. Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().

* Get rid of long-since-vestigial Iter node type, in favor of adding aTom Lane2002-05-12
| | | | | | | returns-set boolean field in Func and Oper nodes. This allows cleaner, more reliable tests for expressions returning sets in the planner and parser. For example, a WHERE clause returning a set is now detected and complained of in the parser, not only at runtime.
* First pass at set-returning-functions in FROM, by Joe Conway withTom Lane2002-05-12
| | | | | | some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
* Restructure aclcheck error reporting to make permission-failureTom Lane2002-04-27

* Quick-and-dirty fix for recursive plpgsql functions, per bug report fromTom Lane2001-09-21
| | | | | | | | Frank Miles 7-Sep-01. This is really just sticking a finger in the dike. Frank's case works now, but we still couldn't support a recursive function returning a set. Really need to restructure querytrees and execution state so that the querytree is *read only*. We've run into this over and over and over again ... it has to happen sometime soon.
* Add IS UNKNOWN, IS NOT UNKNOWN boolean tests, fix the existing booleanTom Lane2001-06-19
| | | | | | | tests to return the correct results per SQL9x when given NULL inputs. Reimplement these tests as well as IS [NOT] NULL to have their own expression node types, instead of depending on special functions. From Joe Conway, with a little help from Tom Lane.
* Kluge solution for Alex Pilosov's report of problems with whole-tupleTom Lane2001-04-19
| | | | | | | | | function arguments in join queries: copy the tuples into TransactionCommandContext so they don't get recycled too soon. This is horrid, but not any worse than 7.0 or before, which also leaked such tuples until end of query. A proper fix will require allowing tuple datums to be physically stored inside larger tuple datums, which opens up a bunch of issues that can't realistically be solved for 7.1.1.
