* Remove copied comments from geo_ops.c source file and replace with newBruce Momjian2007-03-05
| | | | | comments, and cleanup functions. Remove copyright that is no longer relevant.
* Add resetStringInfo(), which clears the content of a StringInfo, andNeil Conway2007-03-03
| | | | | | fixup various places in the tree that were clearing a StringInfo by hand. Making this function a part of the API simplifies client code slightly, and avoids needlessly peeking inside the StringInfo interface.

* Replace direct assignments to VARATT_SIZEP(x) with SET_VARSIZE(x, len).Tom Lane2007-02-27
| | | | | | | | | | | Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly; and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope to play any games with the representation of varlena headers. Greg Stark and Tom Lane
* Now that plans have flat rangetable lists, it's a lot easier to get EXPLAIN toTom Lane2007-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | drill down into subplan targetlists to print the referent expression for an OUTER or INNER var in an upper plan node. Hence, make it do that always, and banish the old hack of showing "?columnN?" when things got too complicated. Along the way, fix an EXPLAIN bug I introduced by suppressing subqueries from execution-time range tables: get_name_for_var_field() assumed it could look at rte->subquery to find out the real type of a RECORD var. That doesn't work anymore, but instead we can look at the input plan of the SubqueryScan plan node.
* Change Agg and Group nodes so that Vars contained in their targetlistsTom Lane2007-02-22
| | | | | | | and quals have varno OUTER, rather than zero, to indicate a reference to an output of their lefttree subplan. This is consistent with the way that every other upper-level node type does it, and allows some simplifications in setrefs.c and EXPLAIN.
* Turn the rangetable used by the executor into a flat list, and avoid storingTom Lane2007-02-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | useless substructure for its RangeTblEntry nodes. (I chose to keep using the same struct node type and just zero out the link fields for unneeded info, rather than making a separate ExecRangeTblEntry type --- it seemed too fragile to have two different rangetable representations.) Along the way, put subplans into a list in the toplevel PlannedStmt node, and have SubPlan nodes refer to them by list index instead of direct pointers. Vadim wanted to do that years ago, but I never understood what he was on about until now. It makes things a *whole* lot more robust, because we can stop worrying about duplicate processing of subplans during expression tree traversals. That's been a constant source of bugs, and it's finally gone. There are some consequent simplifications yet to be made, like not using a separate EState for subplans in the executor, but I'll tackle that later.
* Add "isodow" option to EXTRACT() and date_part() where Sunday = 7.Bruce Momjian2007-02-19

* Get rid of some old and crufty global variables in the planner. WhenTom Lane2007-02-19
| | | | | | | | | this code was last gone over, there wasn't really any alternative to globals because we didn't have the PlannerInfo struct being passed all through the planner code. Now that we do, we can restructure things to avoid non-reentrancy. I'm fooling with this because otherwise I'd have had to add another global variable for the planned compact range table list.
* Remove rint() for to_char MS and US output. We can't us rint() becauseBruce Momjian2007-02-17
| | | | | we can't overflow to the next higher units, and we might print the lower units for MS.

* Add two new format fields for use with to_char(), to_date() andBruce Momjian2007-02-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | to_timestamp(): - ID for day-of-week - IDDD for day-of-year This makes it possible to convert ISO week dates to and from text fully represented in either week ('IYYY-IW-ID') or day-of-year ('IYYY-IDDD') format. I have also added an 'isoyear' field for use with extract / date_part. Brendan Jurd
* Fix to_date()/to_timestamp() 'D' field for day of week, was off by one.Bruce Momjian2007-02-14
| | | | | | Converting from char using 'D' doesn't make lots of sense, of course. Report from Brendan Jurd.
* Fix up foreign-key mechanism so that there is a sound semantic basis for theTom Lane2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | equality checks it applies, instead of a random dependence on whatever operators might be named "=". The equality operators will now be selected from the opfamily of the unique index that the FK constraint depends on to enforce uniqueness of the referenced columns; therefore they are certain to be consistent with that index's notion of equality. Among other things this should fix the problem noted awhile back that pg_dump may fail for foreign-key constraints on user-defined types when the required operators aren't in the search path. This also means that the former warning condition about "foreign key constraint will require costly sequential scans" is gone: if the comparison condition isn't indexable then we'll reject the constraint entirely. All per past discussions. Along the way, make the RI triggers look into pg_constraint for their information, instead of using pg_trigger.tgargs; and get rid of the always error-prone fixed-size string buffers in ri_triggers.c in favor of building up the RI queries in StringInfo buffers. initdb forced due to columns added to pg_constraint and pg_trigger.

* Fix bug in our code when using to_timestamp() or to_date() without "TM".Bruce Momjian2007-02-08
| | | | | Assume "TM" when input fields are variable-length, like month or day names. This matches Oracle behavior.
* Add a function pg_stat_clear_snapshot() that discards any statistics snapshotTom Lane2007-02-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | already collected in the current transaction; this allows plpgsql functions to watch for stats updates even though they are confined to a single transaction. Use this instead of the previous kluge involving pg_stat_file() to wait for the stats collector to update in the stats regression test. Internally, decouple storage of stats snapshots from transaction boundaries; they'll now stick around until someone calls pgstat_clear_snapshot --- which xact.c still does at transaction end, to maintain the previous behavior. This makes the logic a lot cleaner, at the price of a couple dozen cycles per transaction exit.
* Implement XMLSERIALIZE for real. Analogously, make the xml to text castPeter Eisentraut2007-02-03
| | | | | | | | | observe the xmloption. Reorganize the representation of the XML option in the parse tree and the API to make it easier to manage and understand. Add regression tests for parsing back XML expressions.
* Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot.Bruce Momjian2007-02-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways: may - permission, "You may borrow my rake." can - ability, "I can lift that log." might - possibility, "It might rain today." Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
* Rewrite uuid input and output routines to avoid dependency on theNeil Conway2007-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | nonportable "hh" sprintf(3) length modifier. Instead, do the parsing and output by hand. The code to do this isn't ideal, but this is an interim measure anyway: the uuid type should probably use the in-memory struct layout specified by RFC 4122. For now, this patch should hopefully rectify the buildfarm failures for the uuid test. Along the way, re-add pg_cast entries for uuid <-> varchar, which I mistakenly removed earlier, and bump the catversion.
* Revert gincostestimate changes.Teodor Sigaev2007-01-31

* Allow GIN's extractQuery method to signal that nothing can satisfy the query.Teodor Sigaev2007-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | In this case extractQuery should returns -1 as nentries. This changes prototype of extractQuery method to use int32* instead of uint32* for nentries argument. Based on that gincostestimate may see two corner cases: nothing will be found or seqscan should be used. Per proposal at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-01/msg01581.php PS tsearch_core patch should be sightly modified to support changes, but I'm waiting a verdict about reviewing of tsearch_core patch.
* Update documentation for pg_get_serial_sequence() function.Bruce Momjian2007-01-30
|
* Rename the uuid_t type to pg_uuid_t, to avoid a conflict with anyNeil Conway2007-01-28
| | | | | definitions of uuid_t that may be provided by the system headers. This should hopefully fix the Win32 build problems reported by Magnus.
* Add a new builtin type, "uuid". This implements a UUID type, similar toNeil Conway2007-01-28
| | | | | | | | that defined in RFC 4122. This patch includes the basic implementation, plus regression tests. Documentation and perhaps some additional functionality will come later. Catversion bumped. Patch from Gevik Babakhani; review from Peter, Tom, and myself.
* Dept of second thoughts: the IQ of estimate_array_length() needs to beTom Lane2007-01-28
| | | | | kept on par with that of scalararraysel(), else estimates that should track might not. Hence teach it about binary-compatible cases, too.
* Fix scalararraysel() to cope with binary-compatible cases, such as text[]Tom Lane2007-01-28
| | | | | | versus varchar[]. This oversight probably explains Ryan Holmes' recent complaint --- he was getting a generic selectivity estimate instead of anything intelligent.
* Reactivate libxml memory management via palloc, now that I think I'vePeter Eisentraut2007-01-27

* Add trailing zero byte in Unicode codepoint conversion.Peter Eisentraut2007-01-27
|
* Various fixes in the logic of XML functions:Peter Eisentraut2007-01-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - Add new SQL command SET XML OPTION (also available via regular GUC) to control the DOCUMENT vs. CONTENT option in implicit parsing and serialization operations. - Subtle corrections in the handling of the standalone property in xmlroot(). - Allow xmlroot() to work on content fragments. - Subtle corrections in the handling of the version property in xmlconcat(). - Code refactoring for producing XML declarations.
* Properly detoast access to bytea field pg_trigger.tgargs. Old codeBruce Momjian2007-01-25
| | | | | | might cause server crash. Backpatch to 8.2.X.
* Simplify handling of XML error messages: Just use the string provided byPeter Eisentraut2007-01-23
| | | | | | | | | libxml as the detail message. As per <http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-12/msg01087.php>. For converting error codes to messages, we only need to cover those codes that we raise ourselves now.
* Put back planner's ability to cache the results of mergejoinscansel(),Tom Lane2007-01-22
| | | | | | | | | | which I had removed in the first cut of the EquivalenceClass rewrite to simplify that patch a little. But it's still important --- in a four-way join problem mergejoinscansel() was eating about 40% of the planning time according to gprof. Also, improve the EquivalenceClass code to re-use join RestrictInfos rather than generating fresh ones for each join considered. This saves some memory space but more importantly improves the effectiveness of caching planning info in RestrictInfos.
* Simplify pg_am representation of ordering-capable access methods:Tom Lane2007-01-20
| | | | | | | provide just a boolean 'amcanorder', instead of fields that specify the sort operator strategy numbers. We have decided to require ordering-capable AMs to use btree-compatible strategy numbers, so the old fields are overkill (and indeed misleading about what's allowed).
* Make setseed() return void, rather than an int4 without any use. PerNeil Conway2007-01-20
| | | | pgsql-patches discussion of September 20, 2006. Bump the catversion.
* Refactor planner's pathkeys data structure to create a separate, explicitTom Lane2007-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | representation of equivalence classes of variables. This is an extensive rewrite, but it brings a number of benefits: * planner no longer fails in the presence of "incomplete" operator families that don't offer operators for every possible combination of datatypes. * avoid generating and then discarding redundant equality clauses. * remove bogus assumption that derived equalities always use operators named "=". * mergejoins can work with a variety of sort orders (e.g., descending) now, instead of tying each mergejoinable operator to exactly one sort order. * better recognition of redundant sort columns. * can make use of equalities appearing underneath an outer join.
