| | | | | | (e.g. "INSERT ... VALUES (...), (...), ...") and elsewhere as allowed by the spec. (e.g. similar to a FROM clause subselect). initdb required. Joe Conway and Tom Lane.

* Clean up representation of function RTEs for functions returning RECORD.Tom Lane2006-03-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The original coding stored the raw parser output (ColumnDef and TypeName nodes) which was ugly, bulky, and wrong because it failed to create any dependency on the referenced datatype --- and in fact would not track type renamings and suchlike. Instead store a list of column type OIDs in the RTE. Also fix up general failure of recordDependencyOnExpr to do anything sane about recording dependencies on datatypes. While there are many cases where there will be an indirect dependency (eg if an operator returns a datatype, the dependency on the operator is enough), we do have to record the datatype as a separate dependency in examples like CoerceToDomain. initdb forced because of change of stored rules.
* Improve parser so that we can show an error cursor position for errorsTom Lane2006-03-14
| | | | | | | | | | | during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages. This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq, which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.

* When a function not returning RECORD has a single OUT parameter, useTom Lane2005-10-06
| | | | | | | | the parameter's name (if any) as the default column name for SELECT FROM the function, rather than the function name as previously. I still think this is a bad idea, but I lost the argument. Force decompilation of function RTEs to specify full aliases always, to reduce the odds of this decision breaking dumped views.
* Add NOWAIT option to SELECT FOR UPDATE/SHARE.Tom Lane2005-08-01
| | | | | Original patch by Hans-Juergen Schoenig, revisions by Karel Zak and Tom Lane.
* Replace pg_shadow and pg_group by new role-capable catalogs pg_authidTom Lane2005-06-28
| | | | | | | | and pg_auth_members. There are still many loose ends to finish in this patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for instance). But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can make some progress on shared dependencies. The catalog changes should be pretty much done.
* Replace the parser's namespace tree (which formerly had the sameTom Lane2005-06-05
| | | | | | | | | representation as the jointree) with two lists of RTEs, one showing the RTEs accessible by qualified names, and the other showing the RTEs accessible by unqualified names. I think this is conceptually simpler than what we did before, and it's sure a whole lot easier to search. This seems to eliminate the parse-time bottleneck for deeply nested JOIN structures that was exhibited by phil@vodafone.
* Change expandRTE() and ResolveNew() back to taking just the singleTom Lane2005-06-04
| | | | | | RTE of interest, rather than the whole rangetable list. This makes the API more understandable and avoids duplicate RTE lookups. This patch reverts no-longer-needed portions of my patch of 2004-08-19.
* Revise handling of dropped columns in JOIN alias lists to avoid aTom Lane2005-06-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | performance problem pointed out by phil@vodafone: to wit, we were spending O(N^2) time to check dropped-ness in an N-deep join tree, even in the case where the tree was freshly constructed and couldn't possibly mention any dropped columns. Instead of recursing in get_rte_attribute_is_dropped(), change the data structure definition: the joinaliasvars list of a JOIN RTE must have a NULL Const instead of a Var at any position that references a now-dropped column. This costs nothing during normal parse-rewrite-plan path, and instead we have a linear-time update to make when loading a stored rule that might contain now-dropped columns. While at it, move the responsibility for acquring locks on relations referenced by rules into this separate function (which I therefore chose to call AcquireRewriteLocks). This saves effort --- namely, duplicated lock grabs in parser and rewriter --- in the normal path at a cost of one extra non-locked heap_open() in the stored-rule path; seems a good tradeoff. A fringe benefit is that it is now *much* clearer that we acquire lock on relations referenced in rules before we make any rewriter decisions based on their properties. (I don't know of any bug of that ilk, but it wasn't exactly clear before.)
* expandRTE and get_rte_attribute_type mistakenly always imputed typmod -1Tom Lane2005-05-29
| | | | | | to columns of an RTE that was a function returning RECORD with a column definition list. Apparently no one has tried to use non-default typmod with a function returning RECORD before.
* Implement sharable row-level locks, and use them for foreign key referencesTom Lane2005-04-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | to eliminate unnecessary deadlocks. This commit adds SELECT ... FOR SHARE paralleling SELECT ... FOR UPDATE. The implementation uses a new SLRU data structure (managed much like pg_subtrans) to represent multiple- transaction-ID sets. When more than one transaction is holding a shared lock on a particular row, we create a MultiXactId representing that set of transactions and store its ID in the row's XMAX. This scheme allows an effectively unlimited number of row locks, just as we did before, while not costing any extra overhead except when a shared lock actually has to be shared. Still TODO: use the regular lock manager to control the grant order when multiple backends are waiting for a row lock. Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.
* Change addRangeTableEntryForRelation() to take a Relation pointer insteadTom Lane2005-04-13
| | | | | | | | | | of just a relation OID, thereby not having to open the relation for itself. This actually saves code rather than adding it for most of the existing callers, which had the rel open already. The main point though is to be able to use this rather than plain addRangeTableEntry in setTargetTable, thus saving one relation_openrv/relation_close cycle for every INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE. Seems to provide a several percent win on simple INSERTs.
* Add a "USING" clause to DELETE, which is equivalent to the FROM clauseNeil Conway2005-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in UPDATE. We also now issue a NOTICE if a query has _any_ implicit range table entries -- in the past, we would only warn about implicit RTEs in SELECTs with at least one explicit RTE. As a result of the warning change, 25 of the regression tests had to be updated. I also took the opportunity to remove some bogus whitespace differences between some of the float4 and float8 variants. I believe I have correctly updated all the platform-specific variants, but let me know if that's not the case. Original patch for DELETE ... USING from Euler Taveira de Oliveira, reworked by Neil Conway.
* Merge Resdom nodes into TargetEntry nodes to simplify code and save aTom Lane2005-04-06
| | | | | | | | | few palloc's. I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date. initdb forced due to change in contents of stored rules.
* First phase of OUT-parameters project. We can now define and use SQLTom Lane2005-03-31
| | | | | functions with OUT parameters. The various PLs still need work, as does pg_dump. Rudimentary docs and regression tests included.
* Tag appropriate files for rc3PostgreSQL Daemon2004-12-31
| | | | | | | | Also performed an initial run through of upgrading our Copyright date to extend to 2005 ... first run here was very simple ... change everything where: grep 1996-2004 && the word 'Copyright' ... scanned through the generated list with 'less' first, and after, to make sure that I only picked up the right entries ...
* Allow functions returning void or cstring to appear in FROM clause,Tom Lane2004-10-20
| | | | | | to make life cushy for the JDBC driver. Centralize the decision-making that affects this by inventing a get_type_func_class() function, rather than adding special cases in half a dozen places.

* Repair some issues with column aliases and RowExpr construction in theTom Lane2004-08-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | presence of dropped columns. Document the already-presumed fact that eref aliases in relation RTEs are supposed to have entries for dropped columns; cause the user alias structs to have such entries too, so that there's always a one-to-one mapping to the underlying physical attnums. Adjust expandRTE() and related code to handle the case where a column that is part of a JOIN has been dropped. Generalize expandRTE()'s API so that it can be used in a couple of places that formerly rolled their own implementation of the same logic. Fix ruleutils.c to suppress display of aliases for columns that were dropped since the rule was made.
* Standardize on the assumption that the arguments of a RowExpr correspondTom Lane2004-08-17
| | | | | | | to the physical layout of the rowtype, ie, there are dummy arguments corresponding to any dropped columns in the rowtype. We formerly had a couple of places that did it this way and several others that did not. Fixes Gaetano Mendola's "cache lookup failed for type 0" bug of 5-Aug.
* Use the new List API function names throughout the backend, and disable theNeil Conway2004-05-30
| | | | | list compatibility API by default. While doing this, I decided to keep the llast() macro around and introduce llast_int() and llast_oid() variants.
* Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.Neil Conway2004-05-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer. A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes. The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope, be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of the tree has been updated to use the new API names.
* Tweak findTargetlistEntry so that bare names occurring in GROUP BY clausesTom Lane2004-04-18
| | | | | | | | are sought first as local FROM columns, then as local SELECT-list aliases, and finally as outer FROM columns; the former behavior made outer FROM columns take precedence over aliases. This does not change spec conformance because SQL99 allows only the first case anyway, and it seems more useful and self-consistent. Per gripe from Dennis Bjorklund 2004-04-05.
* Get rid of crocky use of RangeVar nodes in parser to represent partiallyTom Lane2004-04-02
| | | | transformed whole-row variables. Cleaner to use regular whole-row Vars.
* 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.

* Rewriter and planner should use only resno, not resname, to identifyTom Lane2003-08-11
| | | | | | | target columns in INSERT and UPDATE targetlists. Don't rely on resname to be accurate in ruleutils, either. This fixes bug reported by Donald Fraser, in which renaming a column referenced in a rule did not work very well.
* Code cleanup inspired by recent resname bug report (doesn't fix the bugTom Lane2003-08-11
| | | | | | | | yet, though). Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular resno. This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded search loops. Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with llast().

* Infrastructure for deducing Param types from context, in the same wayTom Lane2003-04-29
| | | | | | | | | | | that the types of untyped string-literal constants are deduced (ie, when coerce_type is applied to 'em, that's what the type must be). Remove the ancient hack of storing the input Param-types array as a global variable, and put the info into ParseState instead. This touches a lot of files because of adjustment of routine parameter lists, but it's really not a large patch. Note: PREPARE statement still insists on exact specification of parameter types, but that could easily be relaxed now, if we wanted to do so.
* 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.
