* I have found a minor problem with current configure.in.Bruce Momjian1998-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [AC_MSG_RESULT(yes) AC_DEFINE(HAVE_LONG_INT_64)], this line produces something like: echo "$ac_t""yes" 1>&6 cat >> confdefs.h <<\EOF and would append garbage "yes cat" to confdefs.h. Of course the result confdefs.h is not syntactically correct therefore following tests using confdefs.h would all fail. To avoid the problem, we could switch the order of AC_MSG_RESULT and AC_DEFINE (see attached patch). This happend on my LinuxPPC box. Tatsuo Ishii t-ishii@sra.co.jp

* This is the final state of the rule system for 6.4 after theBruce Momjian1998-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | patch is applied: Rewrite rules on relation level work fine now. Event qualifications on insert/update/delete rules work fine now. I added the new keyword OLD to reference the CURRENT tuple. CURRENT will be removed in 6.5. Update rules can reference NEW and OLD in the rule qualification and the actions. Insert/update/delete rules on views can be established to let them behave like real tables. For insert/update/delete rules multiple actions are supported now. The actions can also be surrounded by parantheses to make psql happy. Multiple actions are required if update to a view requires updates to multiple tables. Regular users are permitted to create/drop rules on tables they have RULE permissions for (DefineQueryRewrite() is now able to get around the access restrictions on pg_rewrite). This enables view creation for regular users too. This required an extra boolean parameter to pg_parse_and_plan() that tells to set skipAcl on all rangetable entries of the resulting queries. There is a new function pg_exec_query_acl_override() that could be used by backend utilities to use this facility. All rule actions (not only views) inherit the permissions of the event relations owner. Sample: User A creates tables T1 and T2, creates rules that log INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on T1 in T2 (like in the regression tests for rules I created) and grants ALL but RULE on T1 to user B. User B can now fully access T1 and the logging happens in T2. But user B cannot access T2 at all, only the rule actions can. And due to missing RULE permissions on T1, user B cannot disable logging. Rules on the attribute level are disabled (they don't work properly and since regular users are now permitted to create rules I decided to disable them). Rules on select must have exactly one action that is a select (so select rules must be a view definition). UPDATE NEW/OLD rules are disabled (still broken, but triggers can do it). There are two new system views (pg_rule and pg_view) that show the definition of the rules or views so the db admin can see what the users do. They use two new functions pg_get_ruledef() and pg_get_viewdef() that are builtins. The functions pg_get_ruledef() and pg_get_viewdef() could be used to implement rule and view support in pg_dump. PostgreSQL is now the only database system I know, that has rewrite rules on the query level. All others (where I found a rule statement at all) use stored database procedures or the like (triggers as we call them) for active rules (as some call them). Future of the rule system: The now disabled parts of the rule system (attribute level, multiple actions on select and update new stuff) require a complete new rewrite handler from scratch. The old one is too badly wired up. After 6.4 I'll start to work on a new rewrite handler, that fully supports the attribute level rules, multiple actions on select and update new. This will be available for 6.5 so we get full rewrite rule capabilities. Jan
* Compile ecpg by default.Bruce Momjian1998-08-24

* just that the regression tests for rules work, please applyBruce Momjian1998-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | the following to regress/sql/tests. If applying by hand note that the setup_... must run before the run_... (that I splitted these two was due to the errors that occured when creating rules and using them then in the same session - I'll post another fix for this later). BTW: the regression tests sanity_checks and alter_table fail now due to the remove of some indices and the oidint4 and oidname types. At least expectes should be set to the current results. Thanks. Jan
* o note that now pg_database has a new attribuite "encoding" evenBruce Momjian1998-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | if MULTIBYTE is not enabled. So be sure to run initdb. o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared. regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute 'oid' not found this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without my patches. strange... o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer used, and shoud be removed. o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in #ifdef 0). seems nobody uses. t-ishii@sra.co.jp

* Attached is a patch that uses autoconf to determine whether thereBruce Momjian1998-08-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | is a working 64-bit-int type available. In playing around with it on my machine, I found that gcc provides perfectly fine support for "long long" arithmetic ... but sprintf() and sscanf(), which are system-supplied, don't work :-(. So the autoconf test program does a cursory test on them too. If we find that a lot of systems are like this, it might be worth the trouble to implement binary<->ASCII conversion of int64 ourselves rather than relying on sprintf/sscanf to handle the data type. regards, tom lane

* With the attached patch, I have verified that long (> 8char anyway)Bruce Momjian1998-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | usernames and passwords work correctly in both "password" and "crypt" authorization mode. NOTE: at least on my machine, it seems that the crypt() routines ignore the part of the password beyond 8 characters, so there's no security gain from longer passwords in crypt auth mode. But they don't fail. The login-related part of psql has apparently not been touched since roughly the fall of Rome ;-). It was going through huge pushups to get around the lack of username/login parameters to PQsetdb. I don't know when PQsetdbLogin was added to libpq, but it's there now ... so I was able to rip out quite a lot of crufty code while I was at it. It's possible that there are still bogus length limits on username or password in some of the other PostgreSQL user interfaces besides psql/libpq. I will leave it to other folks to check that code. regards, tom lane
* The attached patch fixes a problem that I seem to have introducedBruce Momjian1998-08-22

* Here are additional patches for the UnixWare 7 port.Bruce Momjian1998-08-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Summary of changes: In pqcomm.h, use the SUN_LEN macro if it is defined to calculate the size of the sockaddr_un structure. In unixware.h, drop the use of the UNIXWARE macro. Everything can be handled with the USE_UNIVEL_CC and DISABLE_COMPLEX_MACRO macros. In s_lock.h, remove the reference to the UNIXWARE macro (see above). In the unixware template, add the YFLAGS:-d line. In various makefile templates, add (or cleanup) unixware and univel port specific information. -- Billy G. Allie

* Allow a null pointer to be returned from get_opname().Thomas G. Lockhart1998-08-16
| | | | | Previously, had thrown an error, but looking for alternate strategies for table indices utilization would prefer to continue.
* Check for null pointer returned from get_opname().Thomas G. Lockhart1998-08-16
| | | | | Don't bother checking for alternate strategies if so since it was more likely a function or some other non-operator anyway.

* Disable not-ready-to-use support code for the line data type.Thomas G. Lockhart1998-08-16
| | | | | | Bracket things with #ifdef ENABLE_LINE_TYPE. The line data type has always been used internally to support other types, but I/O routines have never been defined for it.
* This README only mentions nroff problems with page.5, which has beenThomas G. Lockhart1998-08-15

* Include a sentence in the top pointing to the new docs.Thomas G. Lockhart1998-08-15
| | | | | pgbuiltin.3 is obsolete for sure, and libpq.3 can become so since the size and scope of this man page is not appropriate in a man page format.
* Converted to page.sgml. Not needed in a man page.Thomas G. Lockhart1998-08-15
|
* Information moved to sgml source files.Thomas G. Lockhart1998-08-15
| | | | | The "Oracle compatibility" page should have always been in with functions anyway. The BKI information is not really appropriate for a man page.
* Remove single-argument trim() function from table.Thomas G. Lockhart1998-08-15
| | | | | Never seen because the parser frontend converts all trim() calls to btrim(), ltrim(), and rtime() calls before execution.
* Some old cleanup fixes for close_ps() from G. Thaker.Thomas G. Lockhart1998-08-15

* Allow binary-compatible indices to be considered when checking for validThomas G. Lockhart1998-08-14
| | | | | | | | | | indices for restriction clauses containing a constant. Note that if an index does not match directly (usually because the types on both side of the clause don't match), and if a binary-compatible index is identified, then the operator function will be replaced by a new one. Should not be a problem, but be sure that if types are listed as being binary compatible (in parse_coerce.h) then the comparison functions are also binary-compatible, giving equivalent results.
