* Fix permission-checking bug reported by Tim Burgess 10-Feb-03 (this timeTom Lane2004-01-14
| | | | | | | | | for sure...). Rather than relying on the query context of a rangetable entry to identify what permissions it wants checked, store a full AclMode mask in each RTE, and check exactly those bits. This allows an RTE specifying, say, INSERT privilege on a view to be copied into a derived UPDATE query without changing meaning. Per recent discussion thread. initdb forced due to change of stored rule representation.
* Implement "WITH / WITHOID OIDS" clause for CREATE TABLE AS. This isNeil Conway2004-01-10
| | | | | | | | | | intended to allow application authors to insulate themselves from changes to the default value of 'default_with_oids' in future releases of PostgreSQL. This patch also fixes a bug in the earlier implementation of the 'default_with_oids' GUC variable: code in gram.y should not examine the value of GUC variables directly due to synchronization issues.
* 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.
* Instead of rechecking lossy index operators by putting them into theTom Lane2004-01-06
| | | | | | | | | regular qpqual ('filter condition'), add special-purpose code to nodeIndexscan.c to recheck them. This ends being almost no net addition of code, because the removal of planner code balances out the extra executor code, but it is significantly more efficient when a lossy operator is involved in an OR indexscan. The old implementation had to recheck the entire indexqual in such cases.
* Add the ability to extract OR indexscan conditions from OR-of-ANDTom Lane2004-01-05
| | | | | | | join conditions in which each OR subclause includes a constraint on the same relation. This implements the other useful side-effect of conversion to CNF format, without its unpleasant side-effects. As per pghackers discussion of a few weeks ago.
* Merge restrictlist_selectivity into clauselist_selectivity byTom Lane2004-01-04
| | | | | | | | teaching the latter to accept either RestrictInfo nodes or bare clause expressions; and cache the selectivity result in the RestrictInfo node when possible. This extends the caching behavior of approx_selectivity to many more contexts, and should reduce duplicate selectivity calculations.
* Rewrite OR indexscan processing to be more flexible. We can now for theTom Lane2004-01-04
| | | | | | | | | first time generate an OR indexscan for a two-column index when the WHERE condition is like 'col1 = foo AND (col2 = bar OR col2 = baz)' --- before, the OR had to be on the first column of the index or we'd not notice the possibility of using it. Some progress towards extracting OR indexscans from subclauses of an OR that references multiple relations, too, although this code is #ifdef'd out because it needs more work.
* Adjust the definition of RestrictInfo's left_relids and right_relidsTom Lane2003-12-30
| | | | | | | | | | fields: now they are valid whenever the clause is a binary opclause, not only when it is a potential join clause (there is a new boolean field canjoin to signal the latter condition). This lets us avoid recomputing the relid sets over and over while examining indexes. Still more work to do to make this as useful as it could be, because there are places that could use the info but don't have access to the RestrictInfo node.

* Get rid of hashkeys field of Hash plan node, since it's redundant withTom Lane2003-11-25
| | | | | | the hashclauses field of the parent HashJoin. This avoids problems with duplicated links to SubPlans in hash clauses, as per report from Andrew Holm-Hansen.
* Cross-data-type comparisons are now indexable by btrees, pursuant to myTom Lane2003-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support. The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event; it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
* Add operator strategy and comparison-value datatype fields to ScanKey.Tom Lane2003-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | | Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the first place is simpler and faster. This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize() API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those changes before the tree drifts under me.
* Fix ARRAY[] construct so that in multidimensional case, elements canTom Lane2003-08-17
| | | | | | | | be anything yielding an array of the proper kind, not only sub-ARRAY[] constructs; do subscript checking at runtime not parse time. Also, adjust array_cat to make array || array comply with the SQL99 spec. Joe Conway
* Create a 'type cache' that keeps track of the data needed for any particularTom Lane2003-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | datatype by array_eq and array_cmp; use this to solve problems with memory leaks in array indexing support. The parser's equality_oper and ordering_oper routines also use the cache. Change the operator search algorithms to look for appropriate btree or hash index opclasses, instead of assuming operators named '<' or '=' have the right semantics. (ORDER BY ASC/DESC now also look at opclasses, instead of assuming '<' and '>' are the right things.) Add several more index opclasses so that there is no regression in functionality for base datatypes. initdb forced due to catalog additions.

* 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.

* Includes:Bruce Momjian2003-06-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - LIKE <subtable> [ INCLUDING DEFAULTS | EXCLUDING DEFAULTS ] - Quick cleanup of analyze.c function prototypes. - New non-reserved keywords (INCLUDING, EXCLUDING, DEFAULTS), SQL 200X Opted not to extend for check constraints at this time. As per the definition that it's user defined columns, OIDs are NOT inherited. Doc and Source patches attached. -- Rod Taylor <rbt@rbt.ca>
* Array mega-patch.Bruce Momjian2003-06-24
| | | | Joe Conway
* Implement outer-level aggregates to conform to the SQL spec, withTom Lane2003-06-06
| | | | | | | | extensions to support our historical behavior. An aggregate belongs to the closest query level of any of the variables in its argument, or the current query level if there are no variables (e.g., COUNT(*)). The implementation involves adding an agglevelsup field to Aggref, and treating outer aggregates like outer variables at planning time.
* Replace functional-index facility with expressional indexes. Any columnTom Lane2003-05-28
| | | | | | | | | | | of an index can now be a computed expression instead of a simple variable. Restrictions on expressions are the same as for predicates (only immutable functions, no sub-selects). This fixes problems recently introduced with inlining SQL functions, because the inlining transformation is applied to both expression trees so the planner can still match them up. Along the way, improve efficiency of handling index predicates (both predicates and index expressions are now cached by the relcache) and fix 7.3 oversight that didn't record dependencies of predicate expressions.
* Implement feature of new FE/BE protocol whereby RowDescription identifiesTom Lane2003-05-06
| | | | | | | | | the column by table OID and column number, if it's a simple column reference. Along the way, get rid of reskey/reskeyop fields in Resdoms. Turns out that representation was not convenient for either the planner or the executor; we can make the planner deliver exactly what the executor wants with no more effort. initdb forced due to change in stored rule representation.
* 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.
* Todo items:Bruce Momjian2003-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add ALTER SEQUENCE to modify min/max/increment/cache/cycle values Also updated create sequence docs to mention NO MINVALUE, & NO MAXVALUE. New Files: doc/src/sgml/ref/alter_sequence.sgml src/test/regress/expected/sequence.out src/test/regress/sql/sequence.sql ALTER SEQUENCE is NOT transactional. It behaves similarly to setval(). It matches the proposed SQL200N spec, as well as Oracle in most ways -- Oracle lacks RESTART WITH for some strange reason. -- Rod Taylor <rbt@rbt.ca>
* Restructure parsetree representation of DECLARE CURSOR: now it's aTom Lane2003-03-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | utility statement (DeclareCursorStmt) with a SELECT query dangling from it, rather than a SELECT query with a few unusual fields in it. Add code to determine whether a planned query can safely be run backwards. If DECLARE CURSOR specifies SCROLL, ensure that the plan can be run backwards by adding a Materialize plan node if it can't. Without SCROLL, you get an error if you try to fetch backwards from a cursor that can't handle it. (There is still some discussion about what the exact behavior should be, but this is necessary infrastructure in any case.) Along the way, make EXPLAIN DECLARE CURSOR work.
* Turns out new IN implementation has got some problems in an UPDATE orTom Lane2003-03-05
| | | | | DELETE with inherited target table. Fix it; add a regression test. Also, correct ancient misspelling of 'inherited'.
* 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.
* Get rid of last few vestiges of parsetree dependency on grammar tokenTom Lane2003-02-10
| | | | | | codes, per discussion from last March. parse.h should now be included *only* by gram.y, scan.l, keywords.c, parser.c. This prevents surprising misbehavior after seemingly-trivial grammar adjustments.
* Create a distinction between Lists of integers and Lists of OIDs, to getTom Lane2003-02-09
| | | | | | rid of the assumption that sizeof(Oid)==sizeof(int). This is one small step towards someday supporting 8-byte OIDs. For the moment, it doesn't do much except get rid of a lot of unsightly casts.
* Make further use of new bitmapset code: executor's chgParam, extParam,Tom Lane2003-02-09
| | | | | | | | locParam lists can be converted to bitmapsets to speed updating. Also, replace 'locParam' with 'allParam', which contains all the paramIDs relevant to the node (i.e., the union of extParam and locParam); this saves a step during SetChangedParamList() without costing anything elsewhere.
* Replace planner's representation of relation sets, per pghackers discussion.Tom Lane2003-02-08
| | | | | Instead of Lists of integers, we now store variable-length bitmap sets. This should be faster as well as less error-prone.
* 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.
* Grant options, and cascading revoke. Grant options are allowed only forPeter Eisentraut2003-01-23
| | | | | users right now, not groups. Extension of has_foo_privileges functions to query the grant options. Extension of aclitem type to store grantor.
* IN clauses appearing at top level of WHERE can now be handled as joins.Tom Lane2003-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | There are two implementation techniques: the executor understands a new JOIN_IN jointype, which emits at most one matching row per left-hand row, or the result of the IN's sub-select can be fed through a DISTINCT filter and then joined as an ordinary relation. Along the way, some minor code cleanup in the optimizer; notably, break out most of the jointree-rearrangement preprocessing in planner.c and put it in a new file prep/prepjointree.c.
* Allow merge and hash joins to occur on arbitrary expressions (anything notTom Lane2003-01-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | containing a volatile function), rather than only on 'Var = Var' clauses as before. This makes it practical to do flatten_join_alias_vars at the start of planning, which in turn eliminates a bunch of klugery inside the planner to deal with alias vars. As a free side effect, we now detect implied equality of non-Var expressions; for example in SELECT ... WHERE a.x = b.y and b.y = 42 we will deduce a.x = 42 and use that as a restriction qual on a. Also, we can remove the restriction introduced 12/5/02 to prevent pullup of subqueries whose targetlists contain sublinks. Still TODO: make statistical estimation routines in selfuncs.c and costsize.c smarter about expressions that are more complex than plain Vars. The need for this is considerably greater now that we have to be able to estimate the suitability of merge and hash join techniques on such expressions.
* 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.
* Adjust parser so that 'x NOT IN (subselect)' is converted toTom Lane2003-01-09
| | | | | | | | | | | 'NOT (x IN (subselect))', that is 'NOT (x = ANY (subselect))', rather than 'x <> ALL (subselect)' as we formerly did. This opens the door to optimizing NOT IN the same way as IN, whereas there's no hope of optimizing the expression using <>. Also, convert 'x <> ALL (subselect)' to the NOT(IN) style, so that the optimization will be available when processing rules dumped by older Postgres versions. initdb forced due to small change in SubLink node representation.
* 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.
