* Still more paranoia in PageAddItem: disallow specification of an itemTom Lane2002-08-06
| | | | | | | | | offset past the last-used-item-plus-one, since that would result in leaving uninitialized holes in the item pointer array. AFAICT the only place that was depending on this was btree index build, which was being cavalier about when to fill in the P_HIKEY pointer; easily fixed. Also a small performance improvement: shuffle itemid's by means of memmove, not a one-at-a-time loop.

* The attached patch disallows the use of coldeflists for functions thatBruce Momjian2002-08-06
| | | | | | | | | don't return type RECORD. It also catches a core dump condition when a function returning RECORD had an alias list instead of a coldeflist. Now both conditions throw an ERROR. Joe Conway
* This patch changes the behavior of PostgreSQL so that if any queries areBruce Momjian2002-08-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | executed in an implicitely aborted transaction (e.g. after an occur occurs), we return an error (and not just a warning). For example: nconway=# begin; BEGIN nconway=# insert; -- syntax error ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ";" nconway=# select * from a; ERROR: current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end of transaction block The old behavior was: nconway=# begin; BEGIN nconway=# insert; ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ";" nconway=# select * from a; WARNING: current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end of transaction block *ABORT STATE* Which can be confusing: if the client isn't paying careful attention, they will conclude that the query has executed (because no error is returned).

* 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

Issues remain with respect to alias handling and type checking; Joe is on those.

* Attached are two patches to implement and document anonymous compositeBruce Momjian2002-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | types for Table Functions, as previously proposed on HACKERS. Here is a brief explanation: 1. Creates a new pg_type typtype: 'p' for pseudo type (currently either 'b' for base or 'c' for catalog, i.e. a class). 2. Creates new builtin type of typtype='p' named RECORD. This is the first of potentially several pseudo types. 3. Modify FROM clause grammer to accept: SELECT * FROM my_func() AS m(colname1 type1, colname2 type1, ...) where m is the table alias, colname1, etc are the column names, and type1, etc are the column types. 4. When typtype == 'p' and the function return type is RECORD, a list of column defs is required, and when typtype != 'p', it is disallowed. 5. A check was added to ensure that the tupdesc provide via the parser and the actual return tupdesc match in number and type of attributes. When creating a function you can do: CREATE FUNCTION foo(text) RETURNS setof RECORD ... When using it you can do: SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS (f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) or SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) or SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp) Included in the patches are adjustments to the regression test sql and expected files, and documentation. p.s. This potentially solves (or at least improves) the issue of builtin Table Functions. They can be bootstrapped as returning RECORD, and we can wrap system views around them with properly specified column defs. For example: CREATE VIEW pg_settings AS SELECT s.name, s.setting FROM show_all_settings()AS s(name text, setting text); Then we can also add the UPDATE RULE that I previously posted to pg_settings, and have pg_settings act like a virtual table, allowing settings to be queried and set.

* Implement IS OF and IS NOT OF type predicate.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Can now do queries of the form: SELECT value IS OF (integer, float8); Define macros for handling typmod manipulation for date/time types. Should be more robust than all of that brute-force inline code. Rename macros for masking and typmod manipulation to put TIMESTAMP_ or INTERVAL_ in front of the macro name, to reduce the possibility of name space collisions. Allow bit string constants without fully-specified length declaration. Try implementing CREATE TABLE/OF as a mapping to inheritance. May be appropriate, or may be replace later with something more exactly like one might expect from databases without the feature.

* Add guard code to protect from buffer overruns on long date/time inputThomas G. Lockhart2002-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | strings. Should go back in and look at doing this a bit more elegantly and (hopefully) cheaper. Probably not too bad anyway, but it seems a shame to scan the strings twice: once for length for this buffer overrun protection, and once to parse the line. Remove use of pow() in date/time handling; was already gone from everything *but* the time data types. Define macros for handling typmod manipulation for date/time types. Should be more robust than all of that brute-force inline code. Rename macros for masking and typmod manipulation to put TIMESTAMP_ or INTERVAL_ in front of the macro name, to reduce the possibility of name space collisions.

* Implement hex literal conversion to bit string literal.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-08-04
| | | | | | | May not be the long-term solution (some continuing discussion with Peter E.) but better than the current mapping of a conversion to integer which I'd put in years ago before we had any bit string types at all. This is already supported in the bit string implementation elsewhere.
* Allow bit string constants without fully-specified length declaration.Thomas G. Lockhart2002-08-04

* [ Previous patch reversed.]Bruce Momjian2002-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Please use this patch instead of my previously submitted one. It is just remerged against HEAD for new alter_table.out stuff. Another reason this patch is useful for _interactive_ users: imagine a view based on a many way join. Imagine creating a complicated insert rule that inserts into all the joined tables and when you insert you get a check failure, but you need to know which actual table the constraint was on that failed!

| | | | | | | | | | | functionality of the command is basically identical to that of BEGIN; it just accepts a few extra options (only one of which PostgreSQL currently implements), and is standards-compliant.

* This patch fixes in intermittent failure in the regression tests:Bruce Momjian2002-08-04
| | | | | | | | | there was a race condition between the "alter_table" and "rules" regression tests. Depending on scheduling, sometimes an ALTER TABLE command would operate on a relation created by the "rules" tests, leading to unexpected results. Neil Conway

* 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.
