* Second pass over run-time configuration system. Adjust priorities on somePeter Eisentraut2000-06-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | option settings. Sort out SIGHUP vs BACKEND -- there is no total ordering here, so make explicit checks. Add comments explaining all of this. Removed permissions check on SHOW command. Add examine_subclass to the game, rename to SQL_inheritance to fit the official data model better. Adjust documentation. Standalone backend needs to reset all options before it starts. To facilitate that, have IsUnderPostmaster be set by the postmaster itself, don't wait for the magic -p switch. Also make sure that all environment variables and argv's survive init_ps_display(). Use strdup where necessary. Have initdb make configuration files (postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf) mode 0600 -- having configuration files is no fun if you can't edit them.
* Fix handling of type tuple associated with a temp relation. We haveTom Lane2000-06-20
| | | | | | | | | to apply the tempname->realname mapping to type name lookup as well as relation name lookup, else the type tuple will not be found when wanted. This fixes bugs like this one: create temp table foo (f1 int); select foo.f2 from foo; ERROR: Unable to locate type name 'foo' in catalog
* 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.

* Clean up #include's.Bruce Momjian2000-06-15

* Big warnings cleanup for Solaris/GCC. Down to about 40 now, butPeter Eisentraut2000-06-14
| | | | | | | | | | | we'll get there one day. Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't have automake installed. Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically because of CVS timestamp skew.
* Another batch of fmgr updates. I think I have gotten all old-styleTom Lane2000-06-13
| | | | | functions that take pass-by-value datatypes. Should be ready for port testing ...
* Rename rule CURRENT to OLD in source tree. Add mapping for backwardBruce Momjian2000-06-12
| | | | compatiblity with old rules.
* Back out pg_shadow changes to allow create table and locking permissions.Bruce Momjian2000-06-12
|
* Update sequence-related functions to new fmgr style. Remove downcasing,Tom Lane2000-06-11
| | | | | | | | quote-stripping, and acl-checking tasks for these functions from the parser, and do them at function execution time instead. This fixes the failure of pg_dump to produce correct output for nextval(Foo) used in a rule, and also eliminates the restriction that the argument of these functions must be a parse-time constant.
* I have large database and with this DB work more users and I very needBruce Momjian2000-06-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | more restriction for fretful users. The current PG allow define only NO-CREATE-DB and NO-CREATE-USER restriction, but for some users I need NO-CREATE-TABLE and NO-LOCK-TABLE. This patch add to current code NOCREATETABLE and NOLOCKTABLE feature: CREATE USER username [ WITH [ SYSID uid ] [ PASSWORD 'password' ] ] [ CREATEDB | NOCREATEDB ] [ CREATEUSER | NOCREATEUSER ] -> [ CREATETABLE | NOCREATETABLE ] [ LOCKTABLE | NOLOCKTABLE ] ...etc. If CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE is not specific in CREATE USER command, as default is set CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE (true). A user with NOCREATETABLE restriction can't call CREATE TABLE or SELECT INTO commands, only create temp table is allow for him. Karel

* Mark functions as static and ifdef NOT_USED as appropriate.Bruce Momjian2000-06-08

* Gen_fmgrtab.sh is strange: it is a platform dependent way (because it usesPeter Eisentraut2000-06-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | CPP) to create platform independent files. Unfortunately, that means that every config.status (or configure) run invariably causes a relink of the postmaster and also that we can't put these files in the distribution (usefully). So we make it a little smarter: when the output files already exist and it notices that it would recreate them in identical form, it doesn't touch them. In order to avoid re-running the make rule all the time we update a timestamp file instead. Update release_prep accordingly. Also make Gen_fmgrtab.sh use the awk that is detected at configure time, not necessarily named `awk' and have it check for exit statuses a little better. In other news... Remove USE_LOCALE from the templates, it was set to `no' everywhere anyway. Also remove YACC and YFLAGS from the templates, configure is smart enough to find bison or yacc itself. Use AC_PROG_YACC for that instead of the hand-crafted code. Do not set YFLAGS to `-d'. The make rules that need this flag should explicitly invoke it. YFLAGS should be a user variable. Update the makefiles to that effect.
* typeTypeName() must return a pstrdup'd copy of the type name, not aTom Lane2000-06-06
| | | | | | | | | | direct pointer into the syscache entry for the type. In some cases the syscache entry might get flushed before we are done using the returned type name. This bug accounts for difficult-to-repeat failures seen when INSERTs into columns of certain data types are run in parallel with VACUUMs of system tables. There may be related problems elsewhere --- we need to take a harder look at uses of syscache data.
* Latest round of fmgr updates. All functions with bool,char, or int2Tom Lane2000-06-05
| | | | | | | inputs have been converted to newstyle. This should go a long way towards fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters. Still more to do for the Alpha port however.
* New warning code about auto-created range table entries.Bruce Momjian2000-06-03

* Lexer defended us against overlength plain identifiers, but not againstTom Lane2000-06-01
| | | | overlength quoted identifiers. Death and destruction ensue...
* The heralded `Grand Unified Configuration scheme' (GUC)Peter Eisentraut2000-05-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration, some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste. pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K, -Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q). Added to configure an --enable-syslog option. changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)
* Third round of fmgr updates: eliminate calls using fmgr() andTom Lane2000-05-30
| | | | | fmgr_faddr() in favor of new-style calls. Lots of cleanup of sloppy casts to use XXXGetDatum and DatumGetXXX ...
* Remove unused include files. Do not touch /port or includes used by defines.Bruce Momjian2000-05-30
|
* 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.
* define YY_NEVER_INTERACTIVE for flex, to persuade flex that it's notTom Lane2000-05-27
| | | | | necessary to call isatty() for each and every received query. That's one less kernel call per query cycle ...
* Generate a reasonable error message when an aggregate function is appliedTom Lane2000-05-26
| | | | to an undecorated relation name (cf. example from Ed Loehr, 5/25/00).
* Modify raw parsetree representation returned by gram.y for SubLinks:Tom Lane2000-05-25
| | | | | | | | the oper field should be a valid Node structure so it can be dumped by outfuncs.c without risk of coredump. (We had been using a raw pointer to character string, which surely is NOT a valid Node.) This doesn't cause any backwards compatibility problems for stored rules, since raw unanalyzed parsetrees are never stored.
* 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.
* Ye-old pgindent run. Same 4-space tabs.Bruce Momjian2000-04-12
|
* Tweak TypeCategory to treat new BIT types as of STRING category, ratherTom Lane2000-04-08
| | | | | | | than not knowing what they are at all. Perhaps they should have their own type category? Hard to say. In the meantime, doing it this way allows SELECT 'unknown' || 'unknown' to continue being resolved as textcat, instead of spitting out an ambiguous-operator error.
* Add transcendental math functions (sine, cosine, etc)Thomas G. Lockhart2000-04-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a random number generator and seed setter (random(), SET SEED) Fix up the interval*float8 math to carry partial months into the time field. Add float8*interval so we have symmetry in the available math. Fix the parser and define.c to accept SQL92 types as field arguments. Fix the parser to accept SQL92 types for CREATE TYPE, etc. This is necessary to allow... Bit/varbit support in contrib/bit cleaned up to compile and load cleanly. Still needs some work before final release. Implement the "SOME" keyword as a synonym for "ANY" per SQL92. Implement ascii(text), ichar(int4), repeat(text,int4) to help support the ODBC driver. Enable the TRUNCATE() function mapping in the ODBC driver.
* New coding for SET provoked a 'var might be used uninitialized' warningTom Lane2000-03-31
| | | | from gcc. Which wasn't actually a code bug, but I don't like warnings.
* Enable more flexible syntax for the SET command. Now allows single floats,Thomas G. Lockhart2000-03-30
| | | | | | single integers, and lists of names, without surrounding them with quotes. Remove all tokens which are defined as operators from ColID and ColLabel to avoid precedence confusion. Thanks to Tom Lane for catching this.
* Allow full type names in CREATE FUNCTION arguments and return type.Thomas G. Lockhart2000-03-27
| | | | | | | Move CREATE FUNCTION/WITH clause to end of statement to get around shift/reduce conflicts with type names containing "WITH". Add lots of tokens as allowed ColId's and/or ColLabel's, so this should be a complete set for the v7.0 release.
* 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)
* 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.
* Hack parse_coerce so it won't try to constant-fold the dummy ConstTom Lane2000-03-23
| | | | | nodes introduced by make_subplan(). It'd be better if we used a different node type for subplan result placeholders, but for now...
* Add syntax for BIT() and BIT VARYING(), but no underlying implementationThomas G. Lockhart2000-03-21
| | | | | | is available yet. Remove redundant call to xlateSqlType() in the character type handling code.
* Reverse out BYTEA type coersion.Bruce Momjian2000-03-20
|
* Emit 'this operator is deprecated' warnings for ':' and ';'.Tom Lane2000-03-20
|
* Add compatiblity information for bytea.Bruce Momjian2000-03-20
|
* Add FORCE keyword to ColIDHiroshi Inoue2000-03-20
|
* transformExpr() did the Wrong Thing if applied to a SubLink node thatTom Lane2000-03-19
| | | | | | | | | had already been transformed. This led to failure in examples like UPDATE table SET fld = (SELECT ...). Repair this, and revise the comments to explain that transformExpr has to be robust against this condition. Someday we might want to fix the callers so that transformExpr is never invoked on its own output, but that someday is not today.
* Another go-round with resolution of ambiguous functions and operators.Tom Lane2000-03-19
| | | | | | | | | | In function parsing, try for an actual function of the given name and input types before trying to interpret the function call as a type coercion request, rather than after. Before, a function that had the same name as a type and operated on a binary-compatible type wouldn't get invoked. Also, cross-pollinate between func_select_candidates and oper_select_candidates to ensure that they use as nearly the same resolution rules as possible. A few other minor code cleanups too.
* In can_coerce_type, verify that a possible type-coercion functionTom Lane2000-03-19
| | | | actually returns the type it is named for.
* Improve error message wording in unary_op_error() --- suggest thatTom Lane2000-03-18
| | | | | | problem could be lack of parentheses. This addresses cases like X UserOp UserOp Y, which will be parsed as (X UserOp) UserOp Y, whereas what likely was wanted was X UserOp (UserOp Y).
* Modify lexing of multi-char operators per pghackers discussion aroundTom Lane2000-03-18
| | | | | | | | | | 16-Mar-00: trailing + or - is not part of the operator unless the operator also contains characters not present in SQL92-defined operators. This solves the 'X=-Y' problem without unduly constraining users' choice of operator names --- in particular, no existing Postgres operator names become invalid. Also, remove processing of // comments, as agreed in the same thread.
* Just noticed that the grammar actually has no provision for '+' as aTom Lane2000-03-18
| | | | | prefix operator :-(. Bad enough that we have no implementation of unary plus, but at least with this fix the grammar will take it.
* Add translation of timespan to interval.Bruce Momjian2000-03-18
|
* Add safety check on expression nesting depth. Default value is set byTom Lane2000-03-17
| | | | a config.h #define, and the runtime value can be controlled via SET.
* Fix a bunch of minor portability problems and maybe-bugs revealed byTom Lane2000-03-17
| | | | | | running gcc and HP's cc with warnings cranked way up. Signed vs unsigned comparisons, routines declared static and then defined not-static, that kind of thing. Tedious, but perhaps useful...
