* Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headersTom Lane2002-09-02
| | | | | | | | | | (overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.
* Code review for domain-constraints patch. Use a new ConstraintTest nodeTom Lane2002-08-31
| | | | | | | | | type for runtime constraint checks, instead of misusing the parse-time Constraint node for the purpose. Fix some damage introduced into type coercion logic; in particular ensure that a coerced expression tree will read out the correct result type when inspected (patch had broken some RelabelType cases). Enforce domain NOT NULL constraints against columns that are omitted from an INSERT.
* Code review for standalone composite types, query-specified compositeTom Lane2002-08-29
| | | | | types, SRFs. Not happy with memory management yet, but I'll commit these other changes.
* Modify array operations to include array's element type OID in theTom Lane2002-08-26
| | | | | | | | | | array header, and to compute sizing and alignment of array elements the same way normal tuple access operations do --- viz, using the tupmacs.h macros att_addlength and att_align. This makes the world safe for arrays of cstrings or intervals, and should make it much easier to write array-type-polymorphic functions; as examples see the cleanups of array_out and contrib/array_iterator. By Joe Conway and Tom Lane.
* Add a bunch of pseudo-types to replace the behavior formerly associatedTom Lane2002-08-22
| | | | | | with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion. I still want to do some more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...
* Code review of CLUSTER patch. Clean up problems with relcache gettingTom Lane2002-08-11
| | | | confused, toasted data getting lost, etc.
* Restructure local-buffer handling per recent pghackers discussion.Tom Lane2002-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The local buffer manager is no longer used for newly-created relations (unless they are TEMP); a new non-TEMP relation goes through the shared bufmgr and thus will participate normally in checkpoints. But TEMP relations use the local buffer manager throughout their lifespan. Also, operations in TEMP relations are not logged in WAL, thus improving performance. Since it's no longer necessary to fsync relations as they move out of the local buffers into shared buffers, quite a lot of smgr.c/md.c/fd.c code is no longer needed and has been removed: there's no concept of a dirty relation anymore in md.c/fd.c, and we never fsync anything but WAL. Still TODO: improve local buffer management algorithms so that it would be reasonable to increase NLocBuffer.
* Restructure system-catalog index updating logic. Instead of havingTom Lane2002-08-05
| | | | | | | | | hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table. This reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single line, makes it much easier to add a new system index (in fact, you can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit improves performance a little. Per recent pghackers discussion.
* Preliminary code review for anonymous-composite-types patch: fix breakageTom Lane2002-08-05
| | | | | | | | of functions returning domain types, update documentation for typtype, move get_typtype to lsyscache.c (actually, resurrect the old version), add defense against creating pseudo-typed table columns, fix some bogus list-parsing in grammar. Issues remain with respect to alias handling and type checking; Joe is on those.
* Fix obsolete comment.Tom Lane2002-08-04

* When compiling with --enable-cassert, check for reference count leaksTom Lane2002-08-02
| | | | | | | in the relcache. It's rather silly that we have reference count leak checks in bufmgr and in catcache, but not in relcache which will normally have many fewer entries. Chris K-L would have caught at least one bug in his recent DROP patch if he'd had this.
* ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN works. Patch by Christopher Kings-Lynne,Tom Lane2002-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!) a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what to do here. Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
* Implement DROP CONVERSIONTatsuo Ishii2002-07-25
| | | | Add regression test
* oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the nullBruce Momjian2002-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | bitmap, if present). Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID. This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to catch up some day ...) This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it in smaller pieces: Part 1: Accessor macros Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc Part 3: Regression test Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward. Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100 lines) and finally breaks compatibility. Manfred Koizar
* pg_cast table, and standards-compliant CREATE/DROP CAST commands, plusPeter Eisentraut2002-07-18
| | | | | | | | | | | extension to create binary compatible casts. Includes dependency tracking as well. pg_proc.proimplicit is now defunct, but will be removed in a separate commit. pg_dump provides a migration path from the previous scheme to declare casts. Dumping binary compatible casts is currently impossible, though.
* Improve relcache.c error reporting for the next guy who has to debugBruce Momjian2002-07-15
| | | | this thing.
* Second phase of committing Rod Taylor's pg_depend/pg_constraint patch.Tom Lane2002-07-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint. pg_depend exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP; however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies. (Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.
* Add new CREATE CONVERSION/DROP CONVERSION command.Tatsuo Ishii2002-07-11
| | | | | | | This is the first cut toward CREATE CONVERSION/DROP CONVERSION implementaion. The commands can now add/remove tuples to the new pg_conversion system catalog, but that's all. Still need work to make them actually working. Documentations, regression tests also need work.
* I've fixed up the way domain constraints (not null and type length)Bruce Momjian2002-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | are managed as per request. Moved from merging with table attributes to applying themselves during coerce_type() and coerce_type_typmod. Regression tests altered to test the cast() scenarios. Rod Taylor

* Make RelationForgetRelation error out if the relcache entry has nonzeroTom Lane2002-05-22
| | | | | reference count. This avoids leaving dangling pointers around, as in recent bug report against sequences (bug# 671).
* 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.
* Clean up loose ends remaining from schema privileges discussion.Tom Lane2002-04-30
| | | | | I concluded that RENAME should require CREATE privilege on the namespace as well as ownership of the table.
* Add cache invalidation callback hooks.Tom Lane2002-04-29
|
* Support toasting of shared system relations, and provide toast tables forTom Lane2002-04-27
| | | | | | | | | pg_database, pg_shadow, pg_group, all of which now have potentially-long fields. Along the way, get rid of SharedSystemRelationNames list: shared rels are now identified in their include/pg_catalog/*.h files by a BKI_SHARED_RELATION macro, while indexes and toast rels inherit sharedness automatically from their parent table. Fix some bugs with failure to detoast pg_group.grolist during ALTER GROUP.
* Restructure aclcheck error reporting to make permission-failureTom Lane2002-04-27
| | | | | | | messages more uniform and internationalizable: the global array aclcheck_error_strings[] is gone in favor of a subroutine aclcheck_error(). Partial implementation of namespace-related permission checks --- not all done yet.
* Implement types regprocedure, regoper, regoperator, regclass, regtypeTom Lane2002-04-25
| | | | | | | per pghackers discussion. Add some more typsanity tests, and clean up some problems exposed thereby (broken or missing array types for some built-in types). Also, clean up loose ends from unknownin/out patch.
* Restructure AclItem representation so that we can have more than eightTom Lane2002-04-21
| | | | | | | | | different privilege bits (might as well make use of the space we were wasting on padding). EXECUTE and USAGE bits for procedures, languages now are separate privileges instead of being overlaid on SELECT. Add privileges for namespaces and databases. The GRANT and REVOKE commands work for these object types, but we don't actually enforce the privileges yet...
* pg_trigger's index on tgrelid is replaced by a unique index onTom Lane2002-04-19
| | | | | | | | | | (tgrelid, tgname). This provides an additional check on trigger name uniqueness per-table (which was already enforced by the code anyway). With this change, RelationBuildTriggers will read the triggers in order by tgname, since it's scanning using this index. Since a predictable trigger ordering has been requested for some time, document this behavior as a feature. Also document that rules fire in name order, since yesterday's changes to pg_rewrite indexing cause that too.
* Rule names are now unique per-relation, rather than unique globally.Tom Lane2002-04-18
| | | | | | | | DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax adds an 'ON tablename' clause, similar to TRIGGER syntaxes. To allow loading of existing pg_dump files containing COMMENT ON RULE, the COMMENT code will still accept the old syntax --- but only if the target rulename is unique across the whole database.
* Opclasses live in namespaces. I also took the opportunity to createTom Lane2002-04-17
| | | | | | | an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass. Nothing is done with it at present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.
* 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 >.
* Checking to decide whether relations are system relations now dependsTom Lane2002-04-12
| | | | | on the namespace not the name; pg_ is not a reserved prefix for table names anymore. From Fernando Nasser.
* Restructure representation of aggregate functions so that they have pg_procTom Lane2002-04-11
| | | | | | | | | | entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c. Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like, but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided breaking regression tests as much as I could.
* Functions live in namespaces. Qualified function names work, egTom Lane2002-04-09
| | | | | SELECT schema1.func2(...). Aggregate names can be qualified at the syntactic level, but the qualification is ignored for the moment.
* Implement partial-key searching of syscaches, per recent suggestionTom Lane2002-04-06
| | | | | to pghackers. Use this to do searching for ambiguous functions --- it will get more uses soon.
* Divide functions into three volatility classes (immutable, stable, andTom Lane2002-04-05
| | | | | | | volatile), rather than the old cachable/noncachable distinction. This allows indexscan optimizations in many places where we formerly didn't. Also, add a pronamespace column to pg_proc (it doesn't do anything yet, however).
* Make VACUUM handle schema-qualified relation names properly.Tom Lane2002-04-02
|
* Reimplement temp tables using schemas. The temp table map is history;Tom Lane2002-03-31
| | | | temp table entries in pg_class have the names the user would expect.
* pg_type has a typnamespace column; system now supports creating typesTom Lane2002-03-29
| | | | | | in different namespaces. Also, cleanup work on relation namespace support: drop, alter, rename commands work for tables in non-default namespaces.
* 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.
* Create the pg_namespace system catalog. Doesn't do much yet, but it'sTom Lane2002-03-22
| | | | there and CREATE SCHEMA will make entries in it...
* 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.
* Change the aclchk.c routines to uniformly use OIDs to identify theTom Lane2002-03-21
| | | | | | objects to be privilege-checked. Some change in their APIs would be necessary no matter what in the schema environment, and simply getting rid of the name-based interface entirely seems like the best way.
* Code review for DOMAIN patch.Tom Lane2002-03-20

* Add DOMAIN support. Includes manual pages and regression tests, fromBruce Momjian2002-03-19

* Back out domain patch until it works properly.Bruce Momjian2002-03-07

* I've attached a patch which implements Bob Jenkin's hash function forBruce Momjian2002-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | PostgreSQL. This hash function replaces the one used by hash indexes and the catalog cache. Hash joins use a different, relatively poor-quality hash function, but I'll fix that later. As suggested by Tom Lane, this patch also changes the size of the fixed hash table used by the catalog cache to be a power-of-2 (instead of a prime: I chose 256 instead of 257). This allows the catcache to lookup hash buckets using a simple bitmask. This should improve the performance of the catalog cache slightly, since the previous method (modulo a prime) was slow. In my tests, this improves the performance of hash indexes by between 4% and 8%; the performance when using btree indexes or seqscans is basically unchanged. Neil Conway <neilconway@rogers.com>
* Ok. Updated patch attached.Bruce Momjian2002-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | - domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs - drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs - dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing [ ADDED TO /doc] Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2]; Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain. Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain(). Some documentation differences from earlier. If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain> option in psql, and regression tests. I don't really feel like doing those until the system table structure settles for pg_type. CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes. FK Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly. Both will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly before MergeAttributes(). Rod Taylor
* Change made to elog:Bruce Momjian2002-03-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will see below. o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by client_min_messages to NOTICE. o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc. to always go to the client. o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE. Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various behaviors we need for these messages. Regression passed.
