* Add DOMAIN check constraints.Bruce Momjian2002-11-15

* First phase of implementing hash-based grouping/aggregation. An AGG planTom Lane2002-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | node now does its own grouping of the input rows, and has no need for a preceding GROUP node in the plan pipeline. This allows elimination of the misnamed tuplePerGroup option for GROUP, and actually saves more code in nodeGroup.c than it costs in nodeAgg.c, as well as being presumably faster. Restructure the API of query_planner so that we do not commit to using a sorted or unsorted plan in query_planner; instead grouping_planner makes the decision. (Right now it isn't any smarter than query_planner was, but that will change as soon as it has the option to select a hash- based aggregation step.) Despite all the hackery, no initdb needed since only in-memory node types changed.
* Adjust handling of command status strings in the presence of rules,Tom Lane2002-10-14
| | | | | as per recent pghackers discussions. initdb forced due to change in fields of stored Query nodes.
* Replace pg_attribute.attisinherited with attislocal and attinhcountTom Lane2002-09-22
| | | | | columns, to allow more correct behavior in multiple-inheritance cases. Patch by Alvaro Herrera, review by Tom Lane.
* Extend pg_cast castimplicit column to a three-way value; this allows usTom Lane2002-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in operator/function resolution. Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8). Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or numeric (never float8 anymore). Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics. Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3. This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation). Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements; it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example. Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types). Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8. initdb forced.

* 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 attisinherited column to pg_attribute; use it to guard againstTom Lane2002-08-30
| | | | | | column additions, deletions, and renames that would let a child table get out of sync with its parent. Patch by Alvaro Herrera, with some kibitzing by Tom Lane.
* 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.

Here's a patch. Joe Conway
* Attached are two patches to implement and document anonymous compositeBruce Momjian2002-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | types for Table Functions, as previously proposed on HACKERS. Here is a brief explanation: 1. Creates a new pg_type typtype: 'p' for pseudo type (currently either 'b' for base or 'c' for catalog, i.e. a class). 2. Creates new builtin type of typtype='p' named RECORD. This is the first of potentially several pseudo types. 3. Modify FROM clause grammer to accept: SELECT * FROM my_func() AS m(colname1 type1, colname2 type1, ...) where m is the table alias, colname1, etc are the column names, and type1, etc are the column types. 4. When typtype == 'p' and the function return type is RECORD, a list of column defs is required, and when typtype != 'p', it is disallowed. 5. A check was added to ensure that the tupdesc provide via the parser and the actual return tupdesc match in number and type of attributes. When creating a function you can do: CREATE FUNCTION foo(text) RETURNS setof RECORD ... When using it you can do: SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS (f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) or SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) or SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) Included in the patches are adjustments to the regression test sql and expected files, and documentation. p.s. This potentially solves (or at least improves) the issue of builtin Table Functions. They can be bootstrapped as returning RECORD, and we can wrap system views around them with properly specified column defs. For example: CREATE VIEW pg_settings AS SELECT s.name, s.setting FROM show_all_settings()AS s(name text, setting text); Then we can also add the UPDATE RULE that I previously posted to pg_settings, and have pg_settings act like a virtual table, allowing settings to be queried and set.

* 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
* 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 ...
* Second try at fixing join alias variables. Instead of attaching miscellaneousTom Lane2002-04-28
| | | | | | | | lists to join RTEs, attach a list of Vars and COALESCE expressions that will replace the join's alias variables during planning. This simplifies flatten_join_alias_vars while still making it easy to fix up varno references when transforming the query tree. Add regression test cases for interactions of subqueries with outer joins.
* Restructure representation of aggregate functions so that they have pg_procTom Lane2002-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c. Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like, but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided breaking regression tests as much as I could.
* A little further progress on schemas: push down RangeVars intoTom Lane2002-03-22
| | | | | | | addRangeTableEntry calls. Remove relname field from RTEs, since it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations; we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead. Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
* First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar andTom Lane2002-03-21
| | | | | | | | the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command. No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
* Restructure representation of join alias variables. An explicit JOINTom Lane2002-03-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions. This allows reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do. Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with. This fixes a bug reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01. The alias Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end of planning, rather than during parsing. Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in EXPLAIN. There are probably still cases that need work. initdb forced due to change of stored-rule representation.
* Second thoughts dept: arrange to cache mergejoin scan selectivityTom Lane2002-03-01
| | | | in RestrictInfo nodes, instead of recomputing on every use.
* Restructure command-completion-report code so that there is just oneTom Lane2002-02-26
| | | | | | | report for each received SQL command, regardless of rewriting activity. Also ensure that this report comes from the 'original' command, not the last command generated by rewrite; this fixes 7.2 breakage for INSERT commands that have actions added by rules. Fernando Nasser and Tom Lane.
* pgindent run on all C files. Java run to follow. initdb/regressionBruce Momjian2001-10-25

* 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.
* Further work on making use of new statistics in planner. Adjust APIsTom Lane2001-06-05
| | | | | | | | | of costsize.c routines to pass Query root, so that costsize can figure more things out by itself and not be so dependent on its callers to tell it everything it needs to know. Use selectivity of hash or merge clause to estimate number of tuples processed internally in these joins (this is more useful than it would've been before, since eqjoinsel is somewhat more accurate than before).
* Modify optimizer data structures so that IndexOptInfo lists built forTom Lane2001-05-20
| | | | | | | | create_index_paths are not immediately discarded, but are available for subsequent planner work. This allows avoiding redundant syscache lookups in several places. Change interface to operator selectivity estimation procedures to allow faster and more flexible estimation. Initdb forced due to change of pg_proc entries for selectivity functions!
* Rewrite of planner statistics-gathering code. ANALYZE is now available asTom Lane2001-05-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too). pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values, not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command. There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before. A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.

| | | | | inconsistent coding practices for handling Index values and booleans, too.
* Modify readfuncs so that recursive use of stringToNode will not crashTom Lane2001-01-07
| | | | | | | | and burn. Just for added luck, change reading of CONST nodes so that we do not need to consult pg_type rows while reading them; this means that no database access occurs during stringToNode. This requires changing the order in which const-node fields are written, which means an initdb is forced.
* Planner speedup hacking. Avoid saving useless pathkeys, so that pathTom Lane2000-12-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | comparison does not consider paths different when they differ only in uninteresting aspects of sort order. (We had a special case of this consideration for indexscans already, but generalize it to apply to ordered join paths too.) Be stricter about what is a canonical pathkey to allow faster pathkey comparison. Cache canonical pathkeys and dispersion stats for left and right sides of a RestrictInfo's clause, to avoid repeated computation. Total speedup will depend on number of tables in a query, but I see about 4x speedup of planning phase for a sample seven-table query.
* Cache eval cost of qualification expressions in RestrictInfo nodes toTom Lane2000-12-12
| | | | | | | avoid repeated evaluations in cost_qual_eval(). This turns out to save a useful fraction of planning time. No change to external representation of RestrictInfo --- although that node type doesn't appear in stored rules anyway.
* Restructure handling of inheritance queries so that they work with outerTom Lane2000-11-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | joins, and clean things up a good deal at the same time. Append plan node no longer hacks on rangetable at runtime --- instead, all child tables are given their own RT entries during planning. Concept of multiple target tables pushed up into execMain, replacing bug-prone implementation within nodeAppend. Planner now supports generating Append plans for inheritance sets either at the top of the plan (the old way) or at the bottom. Expanding at the bottom is appropriate for tables used as sources, since they may appear inside an outer join; but we must still expand at the top when the target of an UPDATE or DELETE is an inheritance set, because we actually need a different targetlist and junkfilter for each target table in that case. Fortunately a target table can't be inside an outer join... Bizarre mutual recursion between union_planner and prepunion.c is gone --- in fact, union_planner doesn't really have much to do with union queries anymore, so I renamed it grouping_planner.
* Makeover for Unixware 7.1.1Peter Eisentraut2000-10-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Makefile: Add more standard targets. Improve shell redirection in GNU make detection. * src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c: Fix incorrect(?) C. * src/backend/libpq/pqcomm.c (StreamConnection): Work around accept() bug. * src/include/port/unixware.h: ...with help from here. * src/backend/nodes/print.c (plannode_type): Remove some "break"s after "return"s. * src/backend/tcop/dest.c (DestToFunction): ditto. * src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c: Add proper prototypes. * src/backend/utils/adt/numutils.c (pg_atoi): Cope specially with strtol() setting EINVAL. This saves us from creating an extra set of regression test output for the affected systems. * src/include/storage/s_lock.h (tas): Correct prototype. * src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c (parseServiceInfo): Don't use variable as dimension in array definition. * src/makefiles/Makefile.unixware: Add support for GCC. * src/template/unixware: same here * src/test/regress/expected/abstime-solaris-1947.out: Adjust whitespace. * src/test/regress/expected/horology-solaris-1947.out: Part of this file was evidently missing. * src/test/regress/pg_regress.sh: Fix shell. mkdir -p returns non-zero if the directory exists. * src/test/regress/resultmap: Add entries for Unixware.
* Reimplementation of UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT. INTERSECT/EXCEPT now meet theTom Lane2000-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too. This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the datatype conversions can be inserted safely. INITDB NEEDED!
* Subselects in FROM clause, per ISO syntax: FROM (SELECT ...) [AS] alias.Tom Lane2000-09-29
| | | | | | | | | (Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking moved out of rewriter and into executor. INITDB REQUIRED!
* First cut at full support for OUTER JOINs. There are still a few looseTom Lane2000-09-12
| | | | | ends to clean up (see my message of same date to pghackers), but mostly it works. INITDB REQUIRED!
* Remove 'func_tlist' from Func expression nodes, likewise 'param_tlist'Tom Lane2000-08-08
| | | | | | | | from Param nodes, per discussion a few days ago on pghackers. Add new expression node type FieldSelect that implements the functionality where it's actually needed. Clean up some other unused fields in Func nodes as well. NOTE: initdb forced due to change in stored expression trees for rules.
* Remove 'Array' node type, which has evidently been dead code forTom Lane2000-07-22
| | | | a very long time.
* Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers.Tom Lane2000-07-17
| | | | | | | | | | | There's now only one transition value and transition function. NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner. Also, use Numeric accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower. Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend. Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default. Unrelated change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...
* First stage of reclaiming memory in executor by resetting short-termTom Lane2000-07-12
| | | | | | memory contexts. Currently, only leaks in expressions executed as quals or projections are handled. Clean up some old dead cruft in executor while at it --- unused fields in state nodes, that sort of thing.
* Reimplement nodeMaterial to use a temporary BufFile (or even memory, if theTom Lane2000-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation. This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting noname relations. With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it. Also clean up 'noname' plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans, and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.
