* Wording improvementsPeter Eisentraut2007-12-27

* When given a nonzero column number, pg_get_indexdef() is only supposed toTom Lane2007-12-20
| | | | | | | | | print the index key variable or expression for that column. It was mistakenly printing ASC/DESC/NULLS FIRST/NULLS LAST decoration too --- and not only for the target column, but all columns. Someday we should have an option to extract that info (and the opclass decoration as well) for a single index column ... but today is not that day. Per bug #3829 and subsequent discussion.
* Fix thinko in encoding check for chr()Andrew Dunstan2007-12-18

* Make path_recv() and poly_recv() reject paths/polygons containing no points.Tom Lane2007-12-18
| | | | | | | | The zero-point case is sensible so far as the data structure is concerned, so maybe we ought to allow it sometime; but right now the textual input routines for these types don't allow it, and it seems that not all the functions for the types are prepared to cope. Report and patch by Merlin Moncure.
* Make CSV column ordering a bit more logical.Alvaro Herrera2007-12-11
|
* Extend the format of CSV logs to include the additional information suppliedAlvaro Herrera2007-12-11
| | | | | | | with the logged event. CSV logs are now a first-class citizen along plain text logs in that they carry much of the same information. Per complaint from depesz on bug #3799.
* Fix mergejoin cost estimation so that we consider the statistical ranges ofTom Lane2007-12-08
| | | | | | | | | | the two join variables at both ends: not only trailing rows that need not be scanned because there cannot be a match on the other side, but initial rows that will be scanned without possibly having a match. This allows a more realistic estimate of startup cost to be made, per recent pgsql-performance discussion. In passing, fix a couple of bugs that had crept into mergejoinscansel: it was not quite up to speed for the task of estimating descending-order scans, which is a new requirement in 8.3.
* Realign the running text in this file to 79 characters wide. Some otherPeter Eisentraut2007-12-07
| | | | copy-editing.
* Code review for LIKE ... INCLUDING INDEXES patch. Fix failure to propagateTom Lane2007-12-01
| | | | | | | | | | constraint status of copied indexes (bug #3774), as well as various other small bugs such as failure to pstrdup when needed. Allow INCLUDING INDEXES indexes to be merged with identical declared indexes (perhaps not real useful, but the code is there and having it not apply to LIKE indexes seems pretty unorthogonal). Avoid useless work in generateClonedIndexStmt(). Undo some poorly chosen API changes, and put a couple of routines in modules that seem to be better places for them.
* Avoid incrementing the CommandCounter when CommandCounterIncrement is calledTom Lane2007-11-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | but no database changes have been made since the last CommandCounterIncrement. This should result in a significant improvement in the number of "commands" that can typically be performed within a transaction before hitting the 2^32 CommandId size limit. In particular this buys back (and more) the possible adverse consequences of my previous patch to fix plan caching behavior. The implementation requires tracking whether the current CommandCounter value has been "used" to mark any tuples. CommandCounter values stored into snapshots are presumed not to be used for this purpose. This requires some small executor changes, since the executor used to conflate the curcid of the snapshot it was using with the command ID to mark output tuples with. Separating these concepts allows some small simplifications in executor APIs. Something for the TODO list: look into having CommandCounterIncrement not do AcceptInvalidationMessages. It seems fairly bogus to be doing it there, but exactly where to do it instead isn't clear, and I'm disinclined to mess with asynchronous behavior during late beta.
* Make a cleanup pass over error reports in tsearch code. Use ereportTom Lane2007-11-28
| | | | | for user-facing errors, fix some poor choices of errcode, adhere to message style guide.
* Improve test coverage of CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS by having it also forceTom Lane2007-11-28
| | | | | | | | reloading of operator class information on each use of LookupOpclassInfo. Had this been in place a year ago, it would have helped me find a bug in the then-new 'operator family' code. Now that we have a build farm member testing CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS on a regular basis, it seems worth expending a little bit of effort here.
* Adjust the names of a couple of tsearch index support functions that hadTom Lane2007-11-28
| | | | | | | inappropriately generic-sounding names. This is more or less free since we already forced initdb for the next beta, and it may prevent confusion or name conflicts (particularly at the C-global-symbol level) down the road. Per my proposal yesterday.
* Fix XML Schema structure for char types without length (bug #3782)Peter Eisentraut2007-11-28
|
* Suppress compiler warning.Tom Lane2007-11-27
|
* Make casts from xml to text independent of the XML option setting, thusPeter Eisentraut2007-11-27
| | | | | immutable and indexable. Also fix the volatility settings of some other XML-related functions.
* Use double quotes for quoting xml attributes.Peter Eisentraut2007-11-25
|
* Slightly more paranoia and slightly better comments for use ofTom Lane2007-11-24
| | | | Windows-specific MultiByteToWideChar/WideCharToMultiByte calls.
* Clarify how MONEY trims off trailing thousands separator.Bruce Momjian2007-11-24
|
* Make the MONEY data type have a thousands separator != decimal symbol,Bruce Momjian2007-11-24
| | | | | | if the locale has the thousands separator as "". This now matches the to_char and psql numericlocale behavior. (Previously this data type was basically useless for such setups.)
* Fix white space in MONEY type code. Rename 'comma' to more genericBruce Momjian2007-11-23
| | | | 'ssymbol' as used in previous function.
* Add more comments about thousands separator handling.Bruce Momjian2007-11-22
|
* Add comments about thousands separator logic.Bruce Momjian2007-11-22
|
* When setting default thousands separator when locale has "", use logicBruce Momjian2007-11-21
| | | | so new thousands separator doesn't match decimal symbol.
* Fix typo in comment.Bruce Momjian2007-11-21
|
* Fix bogus length calculation that could lead to crash if the stringTom Lane2007-11-20
| | | | | | happened to be right up against the end of memory, per report from Matt Magoffin. While at it, avoid useless multiple copying of string by not depending on xmlStrncatNew.
* Fix tsvectorout() and tsqueryout() to escape backslesh, add test of that.Teodor Sigaev2007-11-16
| | | | | | Patch by Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> Backpatch is needed, but it's impossible to apply it directly
* Small comment spacing improvement.Bruce Momjian2007-11-16
|
* Run pgindent on remaining files now that LOOPBYTE is a usable macro.Bruce Momjian2007-11-16
|
* Cleanup for new else/comment handling.Bruce Momjian2007-11-16
|
* Modify LOOPBYTE/LOOPBIT macros to be more logical; rather than have theBruce Momjian2007-11-16
| | | | | | | for() body passed as a parameter, make the macros act as simple headers to code blocks. This allows pgindent to be run on these files.
* Fix pgindent to properly handle 'else' and single-line comments on theBruce Momjian2007-11-15
| | | | | same line; previous fix was only partial. Re-run pgindent on files that need it.
* Re-run pgindent with updated list of typedefs. (Updated README shouldBruce Momjian2007-11-15
| | | | avoid this problem in the future.)
* pgindent run for 8.3.Bruce Momjian2007-11-15
|
* Add a rank/(rank+1) normalization option to ts_rank(). While the usefulnessTom Lane2007-11-14
| | | | | | of this seems a bit marginal, if it's useful enough to be shown in the manual then we probably ought to support doing it without double evaluation of the ts_rank function. Per my proposal earlier today.
* Resurrect the code for the rewrite(ARRAY[...]) aggregate function,Tom Lane2007-11-13
| | | | and put it into contrib/tsearch2 compatibility module.
* Ensure that typmod decoration on a datatype name is validated in all cases,Tom Lane2007-11-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | even in code paths where we don't pay any subsequent attention to the typmod value. This seems needed in view of the fact that 8.3's generalized typmod support will accept a lot of bogus syntax, such as "timestamp(foo)" or "record(int, 42)" --- if we allow such things to pass without comment, users will get confused. Per a recent example from Greg Stark. To implement this in a way that's not very vulnerable to future bugs-of-omission, refactor the API of parse_type.c's TypeName lookup routines so that typmod validation is folded into the base lookup operation. Callers can still choose not to receive the encoded typmod, but we'll check the decoration anyway if it's present.
* Add missing closing / in xsd:restriction, and remove some unnecessaryTom Lane2007-11-10
| | | | | spaces for consistency. Per bug #3734 from Ben Leslie; fix by Euler Taveira de Oliveira.
* xmlGetUTF8Char()'s second argument is both input and output. FixTom Lane2007-11-10
| | | | | | uninitialized value, and avoid invoking the function nine separate times in the pg_xmlIsNameChar macro. Should resolve buildfarm failures. Per report from Ben Leslie.
* Second pass at improving LIKE/regex estimation in non-C locales. It turnsTom Lane2007-11-09
| | | | | | | | | | out that it's actually quite likely that a string that is an extension of the given prefix will sort as larger than the "greater" string our previous code created. To provide some defense against that, do the comparisons against a modified string instead of just the bare prefix. We tack on "Z", "z", "y", or "9", whichever is seen as largest in the current locale. Testing suggests that this is sufficient at least for cases involving ASCII data.
* Add parameter krb_realm used by GSSAPI, SSPI and KerberosMagnus Hagander2007-11-09
| | | | | | | to validate the realm of the connecting user. By default it's empty meaning no verification, which is the way Kerberos authentication has traditionally worked in PostgreSQL.
* Allow XML processing instructions starting with "xml" while prohibitingPeter Eisentraut2007-11-09
| | | | those being exactly "xml". Bug #3735 from Ben Leslie
* After conferencing again with Bruce, put in more accurate XML error message.Peter Eisentraut2007-11-08

* Improve error messagePeter Eisentraut2007-11-08

* Improve the performance of LIKE/regex estimation in non-C locales, by makingTom Lane2007-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | make_greater_string() try harder to generate a string that's actually greater than its input string. Before we just assumed that making a string that was memcmp-greater was enough, but it is easy to generate examples where this is not so when the locale is not C. Instead, loop until the relevant comparison function agrees that the generated string is greater than the input. Unfortunately this is probably not enough to guarantee that the generated string is greater than all extensions of the input, so we cannot relax the restriction to C locale for the LIKE/regex index optimization. But it should at least improve the odds of getting a useful selectivity estimate in prefix_selectivity(). Per example from Guillaume Smet. Backpatch to 8.1, mainly because that's what the complainant is using...
* Fix patternsel() and callers to do the right thing for NOT LIKE and the otherTom Lane2007-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | negated-match operators. patternsel had been using the supplied operator as though it were a positive-match operator, and thus obtaining a wrong result, which was even more wrong after the caller subtracted it from 1. Seems cleanest to give patternsel an explicit "negate" argument so that it knows what's going on. Also install the same factorization scheme for pattern join selectivity estimators; even though they are just stubs at the moment, this may keep someone from making the same type of mistake when they get filled out. Per report from Greg Mullane. Backpatch to 8.2 --- previous releases do not show the problem because patternsel() doesn't actually use the operator directly.
* Some code review for xml.c:Tom Lane2007-11-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add some more xml_init() calls that might not be necessary, but seem like a good idea to avoid possible problems like we saw in xmlelement(). Fix unsafe assumption that you can keep using the tupledesc of a relcache entry you don't have open. Add missing error checks for SearchSysCache failure. Get rid of handwritten array traversal in xpath() and O(N^2), broken-for-nulls array access code in map_sql_value_to_xml_value(), in favor of using deconstruct_array. Manually adjust a lot of line breaks in places where the code is otherwise gonna look pretty awful after pg_indent hacks it up (original author seems to have liked to lay out code for a 200-column window).
* Fix xmlelement() to initialize libxml correctly before using it, and to avoidTom Lane2007-11-05
| | | | | | | | | | assuming that evaluation of its input expressions won't change the state of libxml. This requires refactoring xml_init() to not call xmlInitParser(), since now not all of its callers want that. I also tweaked things to avoid repeated execution of one-time-only tests inside xml_init(), though this is mostly for clarity rather than in hopes of saving any noticeable amount of runtime. Per report from Sheikh Amjad and subsequent discussion. In passing, fix a couple of inadequately schema-qualified queries.
* Mention the index name in 'could not create unique index' errors,Tom Lane2007-10-29
| | | | per suggestion from Rene Gollent.
* Set read_only = TRUE while evaluating input queries for ts_rewrite()Tom Lane2007-10-24
| | | | | | and ts_stat(), per my recent suggestion. Also add a possibly-not-needed- but-can't-hurt check for NULL SPI_tuptable, before we try to dereference same.
