* 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.

* Remove optimization whereby parser would make only one sort-list entryTom Lane2002-08-18
| | | | | | | | when two equal() targetlist items were to be added to an ORDER BY or DISTINCT list. Although indeed this would make sorting fractionally faster by sometimes saving a comparison, it confuses the heck out of later stages of processing, because it makes it look like the user wrote DISTINCT ON rather than DISTINCT. Bug reported by joe@piscitella.com.
* 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.

* Teach query_tree_walker, query_tree_mutator, and SS_finalize_plan toTom Lane2002-05-18
| | | | | | | | process function RTE expressions, which they were previously missing. This allows outer-Var references and subselects to work correctly in the arguments of a function RTE. Install check to prevent function RTEs from cross-referencing Vars of sibling FROM-items, which doesn't make any sense (if you want to join, write a JOIN or WHERE clause).
* 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.
* Operators live in namespaces. CREATE/DROP/COMMENT ON OPERATOR takeTom Lane2002-04-16
| | | | | | | | | | qualified operator names directly, for example CREATE OPERATOR myschema.+ ( ... ). To qualify an operator name in an expression you need to write OPERATOR(myschema.+) (thanks to Peter for suggesting an escape hatch). I also took advantage of having to reformat pg_operator to fix something that'd been bugging me for a while: mergejoinable operators should have explicit links to the associated cross-data-type comparison operators, rather than hardwiring an assumption that they are named < and >.
* Fix oversight in recent change of representation for JOIN aliasTom Lane2002-04-15
| | | | | variables: JOIN/ON should allow references to contained JOINs. Per bug report from Barry Lind.
* pg_class has a relnamespace column. You can create and access tablesTom Lane2002-03-26
| | | | | | in schemas other than the system namespace; however, there's no search path yet, and not all operations work yet on tables outside the system namespace.
* 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.

* Clean up two rather nasty bugs in operator selection code.Tom Lane2001-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 1. If there is exactly one pg_operator entry of the right name and oprkind, oper() and related routines would return that entry whether its input type had anything to do with the request or not. This is just premature optimization: we shouldn't return the single candidate until after we verify that it really is a valid candidate, ie, is at least coercion-compatible with the given types. 2. oper() and related routines only promise a coercion-compatible result. Unfortunately, there were quite a few callers that assumed the returned operator is binary-compatible with the given datatype; they would proceed to call it without making any datatype coercions. These callers include sorting, grouping, aggregation, and VACUUM ANALYZE. In general I think it is appropriate for these callers to require an exact or binary-compatible match, so I've added a new routine compatible_oper() that only succeeds if it can find an operator that doesn't require any run-time conversions. Callers now call oper() or compatible_oper() depending on whether they are prepared to deal with type conversion or not. The upshot of these bugs is revealed by the following silliness in PL/Tcl's selftest: it creates an operator @< on int4, and then tries to use it to sort a char(N) column. The system would let it do that :-( (and evidently has done so since 6.3 :-( :-(). The result in this case was just a silly sort order, but the reverse combination would've provoked coredump from trying to dereference integers. With this fix you get more reasonable behavior: pltcl_test=# select * from T_pkey1 order by key1, key2 using @<; ERROR: Unable to identify an operator '@<' for types 'bpchar' and 'bpchar' You will have to retype this query using an explicit cast
* Change scoping of table and join refnames to conform to SQL92: a JOINTom Lane2001-02-14
| | | | | | | | | clause with an alias is a <subquery> and therefore hides table references appearing within it, according to the spec. This is the same as the preliminary patch I posted to pgsql-patches yesterday, plus some really grotty code in ruleutils.c to reverse-list a query tree with the correct alias name depending on context. I'd rather not have done that, but unless we want to force another initdb for 7.1, there's no other way for now.
* Change Copyright from PostgreSQL, Inc to PostgreSQL Global Development Group.Bruce Momjian2001-01-24

* Remove not-really-standard implementation of CREATE TABLE's UNDER clause,Tom Lane2001-01-05
| | | | | | | | | | | and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause instead, per recent discussion in pghackers. Also fix implementation of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze(). See recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just after a SET TIMEZONE command. gram.y really has to be an invariant transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.
* Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count isTom Lane2000-11-16
| | | | | | | maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
* 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.
* Make DROP TABLE rollback-able: postpone physical file delete until commit.Tom Lane2000-11-08
| | | | | | | | | (WAL logging for this is not done yet, however.) Clean up a number of really crufty things that are no longer needed now that DROP behaves nicely. Make temp table mapper do the right things when drop or rename affecting a temp table is rolled back. Also, remove "relation modified while in use" error check, in favor of locking tables at first reference and holding that lock throughout the statement.
* Arrange that no database accesses are attempted during parser() --- thisTom Lane2000-10-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | took some rejiggering of typename and ACL parsing, as well as moving parse_analyze call out of parser(). Restructure postgres.c processing so that parse analysis and rewrite are skipped when in abort-transaction state. Only COMMIT and ABORT statements will be processed beyond the raw parser() phase. This addresses problem of parser failing with database access errors while in aborted state (see pghackers discussions around 7/28/00). Also fix some bugs with COMMIT/ABORT statements appearing in the middle of a single query input string. Function, operator, and aggregate arguments/results can now use full TypeName production, in particular foo[] for array types. DROP OPERATOR and COMMENT ON OPERATOR were broken for unary operators. Allow CREATE AGGREGATE to accept unquoted numeric constants for initcond.
* 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!
* Parse JOIN/ON conditions with the proper visibility of input columns,Tom Lane2000-09-17
| | | | | | | | ie, consider only the columns coming from the JOIN clause's sub-clauses. Also detect attempts to reference columns belonging to other tables (which would still be possible using an explicitly-qualified name). I'm not sure this implements the spec's semantics 100% accurately, but at least it gives plausible behavior.
* 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!

* 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.
* Repair list-vs-node confusion that resulted in failure for INNER JOIN ON.Tom Lane2000-05-12
| | | | | Make it behave correctly when there are more than two tables being joined, also. Update regression test expected outputs.

* Remove no-longer-necessary restriction against uplevel correlation varsTom Lane2000-03-23
| | | | | outside WHERE clause. Fix a couple of places that didn't handle uplevel refs cleanly.
* Tweak GROUP BY so that it will still accept result-column names, but onlyTom Lane2000-03-15
| | | | | | | | | | after trying to resolve the item as an input-column name. This allows us to be compliant with the SQL92 spec for queries that fall within the spec, while still accepting the same out-of-spec queries as 6.5 did. You'll only lose if there is an output column name that is the same as an input column name, but doesn't refer to the same value. 7.0 will interpret such a GROUP BY spec differently than 6.5 did. No way around that, because 6.5 was clearly not spec compliant.
* 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.
* Repair longstanding violation of SQL92 semantics: GROUP BY wouldTom Lane2000-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | interpret a column name as an output column alias (targetlist AS name), ather than a real column name as it ought to. According to the spec, only ORDER BY should look at output column names. I left in GROUP BY's willingness to use an output column number ('GROUP BY 2'), even though this is also contrary to the spec --- again, only ORDER BY is supposed to accept that. But there is no possible reason to want to GROUP BY an integer constant, so keeping this old behavior won't break any SQL-compliant queries. DISTINCT ON will behave the same as GROUP BY. Change numerology regress test, which depended on the incorrect behavior.
* Fix missing lfirst() in ListTableAsAttrs(). This codeTom Lane2000-02-15

* 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.
* 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...
