* Fix performance problems with pg_index lookups (see, for example,Tom Lane2000-06-17
| | | | | | | | | | discussion of 5/19/00). pg_index is now searched for indexes of a relation using an indexscan. Moreover, this is done once and cached in the relcache entry for the relation, in the form of a list of OIDs for the indexes. This list is used by the parser and executor to drive lookups in the pg_index syscache when they want to know the properties of the indexes. Net result: index information will be fully cached for repetitive operations such as inserts.

* Generated header files parse.h and fmgroids.h are now copied intoTom Lane2000-05-29
| | | | | the src/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere. Also, clean up some bit rot in contrib tree.
* First round of changes for new fmgr interface. fmgr itself and theTom Lane2000-05-28
| | | | | | | key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle. An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions). NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.

* transformCreateStmt should put Ident nodes, not ColumnDef nodes, intoTom Lane2000-03-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | keys lists of Constraint nodes. This eliminates a type pun that would probably have caused trouble someday, and eliminates circular references in the parsetree that were causing trouble now. Also, change parser's uses of strcasecmp() to strcmp(). Since scan.l has downcased any unquoted identifier, it is never correct to check an identifier with strcasecmp() in the parser. For example, CREATE TABLE FOO (f1 int, UNIQUE("F1")); was accepted, which is wrong, and xlateSqlFunc did more than it should: select datetime(); ERROR: Function 'timestamp()' does not exist (good) select "DateTime"(); ERROR: Function 'timestamp()' does not exist (bad)
* Implement column aliases on views "CREATE VIEW name (collist)".Thomas G. Lockhart2000-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement TIME WITH TIME ZONE type (timetz internal type). Remap length() for character strings to CHAR_LENGTH() for SQL92 and to remove the ambiguity with geometric length() functions. Keep length() for character strings for backward compatibility. Shrink stored views by removing internal column name list from visible rte. Implement min(), max() for time and timetz data types. Implement conversion of TIME to INTERVAL. Implement abs(), mod(), fac() for the int8 data type. Rename some math functions to generic names: round(), sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), etc. Rename NUMERIC power() function to pow(). Fix int2 factorial to calculate result in int4. Enhance the Oracle compatibility function translate() to work with string arguments (from Edwin Ramirez). Modify pg_proc system table to remove OID holes.
* Simplify parsing of column constraints by treating constraint attributesTom Lane2000-03-01
| | | | | | as independent clauses in the grammar. analyze.c takes care of putting the data where it belongs and complaining about invalid combinations. Also, make TEMP (and TEMPORARY) non-reserved words.
* Changed execution time of ON <event> RESTRICT referentialJan Wieck2000-02-29
| | | | | | | integrity triggers to after statement allways. Ignores deferred state now, closer to SQL3 semantics. Jan
* Carry column aliases from the parser frontend. Enables queries likeThomas G. Lockhart2000-02-15
| | | | | | | SELECT a FROM t1 tx (a); Allow join syntax, including queries like SELECT * FROM t1 NATURAL JOIN t2; Update RTE structure to hold column aliases in an Attr structure.

| | | | | | FOREIGN KEY constraint during CREATE TABLE. Tnx to Stephan. Jan
* Added ALTER TABLE ... ADD CONSTRAINT (provided by Stephan Szabo).Jan Wieck2000-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | Added constraint dumping capability to pg_dump (also from Stephan) Fixed DROP TABLE -> RelationBuildTriggers: 2 record(s) not found for rel error. Fixed little error in gram.y I made the last days. Jan
* Redesign DISTINCT ON as discussed in pgsql-sql 1/25/00: syntax is nowTom Lane2000-01-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | SELECT DISTINCT ON (expr [, expr ...]) targetlist ... and there is a check to make sure that the user didn't specify an ORDER BY that's incompatible with the DISTINCT operation. Reimplement nodeUnique and nodeGroup to use the proper datatype-specific equality function for each column being compared --- they used to do bitwise comparisons or convert the data to text strings and strcmp(). (To add insult to injury, they'd look up the conversion functions once for each tuple...) Parse/plan representation of DISTINCT is now a list of SortClause nodes. initdb forced by querytree change...

| | | | | | * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2000, PostgreSQL, Inc to all files copyright Regents of Berkeley. Man, that's a lot of files.
* Forgot to handle column length defaults in ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN.Tom Lane2000-01-22
|
* Assign a typmod of -1 to unadorned CHAR and NUMERIC type specs. ThisTom Lane2000-01-20
| | | | | | | | allows casts without specific length requirements to continue to work as they did before; that is, x::char will not truncate the value of x, whereas x::char(1) will. Likewise for NUMERIC precision/scale. The column length defaults of char(1) and numeric(30,6) are now inserted in analyze.c's processing of CREATE TABLE.

* Changed "triggered data change violation" detection codeJan Wieck2000-01-06
| | | | | | in trigger manager. Jan
* Teach grammar and parser about aggregate(DISTINCT ...). No implementationTom Lane1999-12-10
| | | | | | | yet, but at least we can give a better error message: regression=> select count(distinct f1) from int4_tbl; ERROR: aggregate(DISTINCT ...) is not implemented yet instead of 'parser: parse error at or near distinct'.
* Completed FOREIGN KEY syntax.Jan Wieck1999-12-06
| | | | | | | | Added functionality for automatic trigger creation during CREATE TABLE. Added ON DELETE RESTRICT and some others. Jan
* Implement subselects in target lists. Also, relax requirement thatTom Lane1999-11-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | subselects can only appear on the righthand side of a binary operator. That's still true for quantified predicates like x = ANY (SELECT ...), but a subselect that delivers a single result can now appear anywhere in an expression. This is implemented by changing EXPR_SUBLINK sublinks to represent just the (SELECT ...) expression, without any 'left hand side' or combining operator --- so they're now more like EXISTS_SUBLINK. To handle the case of '(x, y, z) = (SELECT ...)', I added a new sublink type MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK, which acts just like EXPR_SUBLINK used to. But the grammar will only generate one for a multiple-left-hand-side row expression.
* New NameStr macro to convert Name to Str. No need for var.data anymore.Bruce Momjian1999-11-07
| | | | | | Fewer calls to nameout. Better use of RelationGetRelationName.
* Eliminate local inefficiencies in updateTargetListEntry, make_var, andTom Lane1999-11-01
| | | | make_const --- don't repeat cache searches that aren't needed.
* Fix planner and rewriter to follow SQL semantics for tables that areTom Lane1999-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | mentioned in FROM but not elsewhere in the query: such tables should be joined over anyway. Aside from being more standards-compliant, this allows removal of some very ugly hacks for COUNT(*) processing. Also, allow HAVING clause without aggregate functions, since SQL does. Clean up CREATE RULE statement-list syntax the same way Bruce just fixed the main stmtmulti production. CAUTION: addition of a field to RangeTblEntry nodes breaks stored rules; you will have to initdb if you have any rules.
* Reimplement parsing and storage of default expressions and constraintTom Lane1999-10-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | expressions in CREATE TABLE. There is no longer an emasculated expression syntax for these things; it's full a_expr for constraints, and b_expr for defaults (unfortunately the fact that NOT NULL is a part of the column constraint syntax causes a shift/reduce conflict if you try a_expr. Oh well --- at least parenthesized boolean expressions work now). Also, stored expression for a column default is not pre-coerced to the column type; we rely on transformInsertStatement to do that when the default is actually used. This means "f1 datetime default 'now'" behaves the way people usually expect it to. BTW, all the support code is now there to implement ALTER TABLE ADD CONSTRAINT and ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN with a default value. I didn't actually teach ALTER TABLE to call it, but it wouldn't be much work.
* Mega-commit to make heap_open/heap_openr/heap_close take anTom Lane1999-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or 'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi. Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the Relation struct layout slightly. Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.
* Major revision of sort-node handling: push knowledge of queryTom Lane1999-08-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | sort order down into planner, instead of handling it only at the very top level of the planner. This fixes many things. An explicit sort is now avoided if there is a cheaper alternative (typically an indexscan) not only for ORDER BY, but also for the internal sort of GROUP BY. It works even when there is no other reason (such as a WHERE condition) to consider the indexscan. It works for indexes on functions. It works for indexes on functions, backwards. It's just so cool... CAUTION: I have changed the representation of SortClause nodes, therefore THIS UPDATE BREAKS STORED RULES. You will need to initdb.
* Repair the check for redundant UNIQUE and PRIMARY KEY indices.Thomas G. Lockhart1999-08-15
| | | | | Also, improve it so that it checks for multi-column constraints. Thanks to Mark Dalphin <mdalphin@amgen.com> for reporting the problem.
* Rewrite parser's handling of INSERT ... SELECT so that processingTom Lane1999-07-19
| | | | | | | | | of the SELECT part of the statement is just like a plain SELECT. All INSERT-specific processing happens after the SELECT parsing is done. This eliminates many problems, e.g. INSERT ... SELECT ... GROUP BY using the wrong column labels. Ensure that DEFAULT clauses are coerced to the target column type, whether or not stored clause produces the right type. Substantial cleanup of parser's array support.

* Detect case of invalid use of GROUP BY when there are noTom Lane1999-05-23
| | | | | | | aggregate functions, as in select a, b from foo group by a; The ungrouped reference to b is not kosher, but formerly we neglected to check this unless there was an aggregate function somewhere in the query.
* Change resjunk to a boolean.Bruce Momjian1999-05-17

* Prior patch added 2 more characters to string allocatedTom Lane1999-05-17
| | | | for SERIAL column's constraint, but forgot to increase space palloc'd...
* Add double quotes around the sequence name generated to support theThomas G. Lockhart1999-05-13
| | | | | | SERIAL data type DEFAULT clause. This fixes a problem finding the sequence name when mixed case table names are involved.
* Rip out QueryTreeList structure, root and branch. QuerytreeTom Lane1999-05-13
| | | | | | | | | | lists are now plain old garden-variety Lists, allocated with palloc, rather than specialized expansible-array data allocated with malloc. This substantially simplifies their handling and eliminates several sources of memory leakage. Several basic types of erroneous queries (syntax error, attempt to insert a duplicate key into a unique index) now demonstrably leak zero bytes per query.
* Fix problem with multiple indices defined if using column- and table-Thomas G. Lockhart1999-05-12
| | | | | | | constraints. Reported by Tom Lane. Now, check for duplicate indices and retain the one which is a primary-key. Adjust elog NOTICE messages to surround table and column names with single quotes.
* Put in explicit checks for implicit index name lengths.Thomas G. Lockhart1999-02-23
| | | | | Put in hooks for outer joins by passing a few parameters back and forth in function calls. May not be close to working yet.
* From: Tatsuo Ishii <t-ishii@sra.co.jp>Marc G. Fournier1999-02-21
| | | | | | Ok. I made patches replacing all of "#if FALSE" or "#if 0" to "#ifdef NOT_USED" for current. I have tested these patches in that the postgres binaries are identical.
