* Fix money type's send/receive functions to conform to recent wideningTom Lane2007-08-21
| | | | of the datatype to int64. Per Andrew Chernow.
* Fix potential access-off-the-end-of-memory in varbit_out(): it fetched theTom Lane2007-08-21
| | | | | | byte after the last full byte of the bit array, regardless of whether that byte was part of the valid data or not. Found by buildfarm testing. Thanks to Stefan Kaltenbrunner for nailing down the cause.
* Fix a small 64-bit problem in tsearch patch.Tom Lane2007-08-21

* Tsearch2 functionality migrates to core. The bulk of this work is byTom Lane2007-08-21
| | | | | | | | Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing, so anything that's broken is probably my fault. Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can get some portability testing done.
* Provide for logfiles in machine readable CSV format. In consequence, renameAndrew Dunstan2007-08-19
| | | | | | redirect_stderr to logging_collector. Original patch from Arul Shaji, subsequently modified by Greg Smith, and then heavily modified by me.
* Repair problems occurring when multiple RI updates have to be done to the sameTom Lane2007-08-15
| | | | | | | | | row within one query: we were firing check triggers before all the updates were done, leading to bogus failures. Fix by making the triggers queued by an RI update go at the end of the outer query's trigger event list, thereby effectively making the processing "breadth-first". This was indeed how it worked pre-8.0, so the bug does not occur in the 7.x branches. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
* Avoid memory leakage across successive calls of regexp_matches() orTom Lane2007-08-11
| | | | | | | regexp_split_to_table() within a single query. This is only a partial solution, as it turns out that with enough matches per string these functions can also tickle a repalloc() misbehavior. But fixing that is a topic for a separate patch.
* Code review for regexp_matches/regexp_split patch. Refactor to avoid assumingTom Lane2007-08-11
| | | | | | | | | that cached compiled patterns will still be there when the function is next called. Clean up looping logic, thereby fixing bug identified by Pavel Stehule. Share setup code between the two functions, add some comments, and avoid risky mixing of int and size_t variables. Clean up the documentation a tad, and accept all the flag characters mentioned in table 9-19 rather than just a subset.
* Fix up bad layout of some comments (probably pg_indent's fault), andTom Lane2007-08-04
| | | | improve grammar a tad. Per Greg Stark.
* Switch over to using the src/timezone functions for formatting timestampsTom Lane2007-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | displayed in the postmaster log. This avoids Windows-specific problems with localized time zone names that are in the wrong encoding, and generally seems like a good idea to forestall other potential platform-dependent issues. To preserve the existing behavior that all backends will log in the same time zone, create a new GUC variable log_timezone that can only be changed on a system-wide basis, and reference log-related calculations to that zone instead of the TimeZone variable. This fixes the issue reported by Hiroshi Saito that timestamps printed by xlog.c startup could be improperly localized on Windows. We still need a simpler patch for that problem in the back branches, however.
* Make replace(), split_part(), and string_to_array() behave somewhat sanelyTom Lane2007-07-19
| | | | | | | | | when handed an invalidly-encoded pattern. The previous coding could get into an infinite loop if pg_mb2wchar_with_len() returned a zero-length string after we'd tested for nonempty pattern; which is exactly what it will do if the string consists only of an incomplete multibyte character. This led to either an out-of-memory error or a backend crash depending on platform. Per report from Wiktor Wodecki.
* Properly adjust age() seconds to match the sign of the larger units.Bruce Momjian2007-07-18
| | | | Patch from Tom.
* Implement CREATE TABLE LIKE ... INCLUDING INDEXES. Patch from NikhilS,Neil Conway2007-07-17
| | | | | based in part on an earlier patch from Trevor Hardcastle, and reviewed by myself.
* Fix map_sql_typecoll_to_xmlschema_types() to not fail on droppedTom Lane2007-07-13
| | | | | columns, per my gripe earlier today. Make it look a bit less like someone's first effort at backend coding.
* Fix a portability bug (ye olde not casting a <ctype.h> argument toTom Lane2007-07-12
| | | | | unsigned char). Fortunately we still have buildfarm machines that will flag this. Seems to be new in CVS HEAD, so no backpatch.
* Compute max and min int8 values using unsigned arithmetic, in hopes ofTom Lane2007-07-12
| | | | suppressing Sun Studio compiler warnings. Per Stefan.
* Fix stddev_pop(numeric) and var_pop(numeric), which were incorrectly producingTom Lane2007-07-09
| | | | the same outputs as stddev_samp() and var_samp() respectively.
* Fix up hash functions for datetime datatypes so that they don't takeTom Lane2007-07-06
| | | | | | unwarranted liberties with int8 vs float8 values for these types. Specifically, be sure to apply either hashint8 or hashfloat8 depending on HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP. Per my gripe of even date.
* Fix a passel of ancient bugs in to_char(), including two distinct bufferTom Lane2007-06-29
| | | | | | | | | | | overruns (neither of which seem likely to be exploitable as security holes, fortunately, since the provoker can't control the data written). One of these is due to choosing to stomp on the output of a called function, which is bad news in any case; make it treat the called functions' results as read-only. Avoid some unnecessary palloc/pfree traffic too; it's not really helpful to free small temporary objects, and again this is presuming more than it ought to about the nature of the results of called functions. Per report from Patrick Welche and additional code-reading by Imad.
* Implement "distributed" checkpoints in which the checkpoint I/O is spreadTom Lane2007-06-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | over a fairly long period of time, rather than being spat out in a burst. This happens only for background checkpoints carried out by the bgwriter; other cases, such as a shutdown checkpoint, are still done at full speed. Remove the "all buffers" scan in the bgwriter, and associated stats infrastructure, since this seems no longer very useful when the checkpoint itself is properly throttled. Original patch by Itagaki Takahiro, reworked by Heikki Linnakangas, and some minor API editorialization by me.
* Remove unused "caller" argument from stringToQualifiedNameList.Alvaro Herrera2007-06-26

* Arrange for quote_identifier() and pg_dump to not quote keywords that areTom Lane2007-06-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | unreserved according to the grammar. The list of unreserved words has gotten extensive enough that the unnecessary quoting is becoming a bit of an eyesore. To do this, add knowledge of the keyword category to keywords.c's table. (Someday we might be able to generate keywords.c's table and the keyword lists in gram.y from a common source.) For the moment, lie about WITH's status in the table so it will still get quoted --- this is because of the expectation that WITH will become reserved when the SQL recursive-queries patch gets done. I didn't force initdb because this affects nothing on-disk; but note that a few regression tests have changed expected output.
* Tweak the API for per-datatype typmodin functions so that they are passedTom Lane2007-06-15
| | | | | | | | | | | | an array of strings rather than an array of integers, and allow any simple constant or identifier to be used in typmods; for example create table foo (f1 widget(42,'23skidoo',point)); Of course the typmodin function has still got to pack this info into a non-negative int32 for storage, but it's still a useful improvement in flexibility, especially considering that you can do nearly anything if you are willing to keep the info in a side table. We can get away with this change since we have not yet released a version providing user-definable typmods. Per discussion.
* Fix DecodeDateTime to allow timezone to appear before year. This hadTom Lane2007-06-12
| | | | | | historically worked in some but not all cases, but as of 8.2 it failed for all timezone formats. Fix, and add regression test cases to catch future regressions in this area. Per gripe from Adam Witney.
* Improve UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF so that they can be used from plpgsqlTom Lane2007-06-11
| | | | | | | with a plpgsql-defined cursor. The underlying mechanism for this is that the main SQL engine will now take "WHERE CURRENT OF $n" where $n is a refcursor parameter. Not sure if we should document that fact or consider it an implementation detail. Per discussion with Pavel Stehule.
* Support UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF cursor_name, per SQL standard.Tom Lane2007-06-11
| | | | | | | | | Along the way, allow FOR UPDATE in non-WITH-HOLD cursors; there may once have been a reason to disallow that, but it seems to work now, and it's really rather necessary if you want to select a row via a cursor and then update it in a concurrent-safe fashion. Original patch by Arul Shaji, rather heavily editorialized by Tom Lane.
* Allow numeric_fac() to be interrupted, since it can take quite a while forTom Lane2007-06-09
| | | | | | large inputs. Also cause it to error out immediately if the result will overflow, instead of grinding through a lot of calculation first. Per gripe from Jim Nasby.
* Fix up text concatenation so that it accepts all the reasonable cases thatTom Lane2007-06-06
| | | | | | | | were accepted by prior Postgres releases. This takes care of the loose end left by the preceding patch to downgrade implicit casts-to-text. To avoid breaking desirable behavior for array concatenation, introduce a new polymorphic pseudo-type "anynonarray" --- the added concatenation operators are actually text || anynonarray and anynonarray || text.
* Downgrade implicit casts to text to be assignment-only, except for the onesTom Lane2007-06-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | from the other string-category types; this eliminates a lot of surprising interpretations that the parser could formerly make when there was no directly applicable operator. Create a general mechanism that supports casts to and from the standard string types (text,varchar,bpchar) for *every* datatype, by invoking the datatype's I/O functions. These new casts are assignment-only in the to-string direction, explicit-only in the other, and therefore should create no surprising behavior. Remove a bunch of thereby-obsoleted datatype-specific casting functions. The "general mechanism" is a new expression node type CoerceViaIO that can actually convert between *any* two datatypes if their external text representations are compatible. This is more general than needed for the immediate feature, but might be useful in plpgsql or other places in future. This commit does nothing about the issue that applying the concatenation operator || to non-text types will now fail, often with strange error messages due to misinterpreting the operator as array concatenation. Since it often (not always) worked before, we should either make it succeed or at least give a more user-friendly error; but details are still under debate. Peter Eisentraut and Tom Lane
* Fix erroneous error reporting for overlength input in text_date(),Tom Lane2007-06-02
| | | | text_time(), and text_timetz(). 7.4-vintage bug found by Greg Stark.
* Improve efficiency of LIKE/ILIKE code, especially for multi-byte charsets,Andrew Dunstan2007-06-02
| | | | | | | | | | | and most especially for UTF8. Remove unnecessary special cases for bytea processing and single-byte charset ILIKE. a ILIKE b is now processed as lower(a) LIKE lower(b) in all cases. The code is now considerably simpler. All comparisons are now performed byte-wise, and the text and pattern are also advanced byte-wise where it is safe to do so - essentially where a wildcard is not being matched. Andrew Dunstan, from an original patch by ITAGAKI Takahiro, with ideas from Tom Lane and Mark Mielke.
* Allow leading and trailing whitespace in the input to the booleanNeil Conway2007-06-01
| | | | | | | type. Also, add explicit casts between boolean and text/varchar. Both of these changes are for conformance with SQL:2003. Update the regression tests, bump the catversion.
* Tweak: use memcpy() in text_time(), rather than manually copying bytesNeil Conway2007-05-30
| | | | in a loop.
* Fix a bug in input processing for the "interval" type. Previously,Neil Conway2007-05-29
| | | | | | | | "microsecond" and "millisecond" units were not considered valid input by themselves, which caused inputs like "1 millisecond" to be rejected erroneously. Update the docs, add regression tests, and backport to 8.2 and 8.1
* Code cleanup: use "bool" for Boolean variables, rather than "int".Neil Conway2007-05-27

* Remove ruleutils.c's use of varnoold/varoattno as a shortcut for determiningTom Lane2007-05-24
| | | | | | | | | | what a Var node refers to. This is no longer necessary because the new flat-range-table representation of plan trees makes it relatively easy to dig down through child plan levels to find the original reference; and to keep doing it that way, we'd have to store joinaliasvars lists in flattened RTEs, as demonstrated by bug report from Leszek Trenkner. This change makes varnoold/varoattno truly just debug aids, which wasn't quite the case before. Perhaps we should drop them, or only have them in assert-enabled builds?
* XPath fixes:Peter Eisentraut2007-05-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Function renamed to "xpath". - Function is now strict, per discussion. - Return empty array in case when XPath expression detects nothing (previously, NULL was returned in such case), per discussion. - (bugfix) Work with fragments with prologue: select xpath('/a', '<?xml version="1.0"?><a /><b />'); // now XML datum is always wrapped with dummy <x>...</x>, XML prologue simply goes away (if any). - Some cleanup. Nikolay Samokhvalov Some code cleanup and documentation work by myself.
* Temporary fix for the problem that pg_stat_activity, inet_client_addr(),Tom Lane2007-05-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | and inet_server_addr() fail if the client connected over a "scoped" IPv6 address. In this case getnameinfo() will return a string ending with a poorly-standardized "%something" zone specifier, which these functions try to feed to network_in(), which won't take it. So that we don't lose functionality altogether, suppress the zone specifier before giving the string to network_in(). Per report from Brian Hirt. TODO: probably someday the inet type should support scoped IPv6 addresses, and then this patch should be reverted. Backpatch to 8.2 ... is it worth going further?
* Add a hash function for "numeric". Mark the equality operator forNeil Conway2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | numerics as "oprcanhash", and make the corresponding system catalog updates. As a result, hash indexes, hashed aggregation, and hash joins can now be used with the numeric type. Bump the catversion. The only tricky aspect to doing this is writing a correct hash function: it's possible for two Numerics to be equal according to their equality operator, but have different in-memory bit patterns. To cope with this, the hash function doesn't consider the Numeric's "scale" or "sign", and explictly skips any leading or trailing zeros in the Numeric's digit buffer (the current implementation should suppress any such zeros, but it seems unwise to rely upon this). See discussion on pgsql-patches for more details.
* Check return code from strxfrm on Windows since it has aMagnus Hagander2007-05-05
| | | | | non-standard way of indicating errors, so we don't try to allocate INT_MAX bytes to store a result in.
* Change the timestamps recorded in transaction commit/abort xlog recordsTom Lane2007-04-30
| | | | | | | | | from time_t to TimestampTz representation. This provides full gettimeofday() resolution of the timestamps, which might be useful when attempting to do point-in-time recovery --- previously it was not possible to specify the stop point with sub-second resolution. But mostly this is to get rid of TimestampTz-to-time_t conversion overhead during commit. Per my proposal of a day or two back.
* Implement rate-limiting logic on how often backends will attempt to sendTom Lane2007-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | messages to the stats collector. This avoids the problem that enabling stats_row_level for autovacuum has a significant overhead for short read-only transactions, as noted by Arjen van der Meijden. We can avoid an extra gettimeofday call by piggybacking on the one done for WAL-logging xact commit or abort (although that doesn't help read-only transactions, since they don't WAL-log anything). In my proposal for this, I noted that we could change the WAL log entries for commit/abort to record full TimestampTz precision, instead of only time_t as at present. That's not done in this patch, but will be committed separately.
* Some further performance tweaks for planning large inheritance trees thatTom Lane2007-04-21
| | | | | | | | are mostly excluded by constraints: do the CE test a bit earlier to save some adjust_appendrel_attrs() work on excluded children, and arrange to use array indexing rather than rt_fetch() to fetch RTEs in the main body of the planner. The latter is something I'd wanted to do for awhile anyway, but seeing list_nth_cell() as 35% of the runtime gets one's attention.

* Support varlena fields with single-byte headers and unaligned storage.Tom Lane2007-04-06
| | | | | | | | | This commit breaks any code that assumes that the mere act of forming a tuple (without writing it to disk) does not "toast" any fields. While all available regression tests pass, I'm not totally sure that we've fixed every nook and cranny, especially in contrib. Greg Stark with some help from Tom Lane
