* Add SPI-level support for executing SQL commands with one-time-use plans,Tom Lane2008-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | | that is commands that have out-of-line parameters but the plan is prepared assuming that the parameter values are constants. This is needed for the plpgsql EXECUTE USING patch, but will probably have use elsewhere. This commit includes the SPI functions and documentation, but no callers nor regression tests. The upcoming EXECUTE USING patch will provide regression-test coverage. I thought committing this separately made sense since it's logically a distinct feature.
* Fix an oversight I made in a cleanup patch over a year ago:Tom Lane2008-04-01
| | | | | | | | | | eval_const_expressions needs to be passed the PlannerInfo ("root") structure, because in some cases we want it to substitute values for Param nodes. (So "constant" is not so constant as all that ...) This mistake partially disabled optimization of unnamed extended-Query statements in 8.3: in particular the LIKE-to-indexscan optimization would never be applied if the LIKE pattern was passed as a parameter, and constraint exclusion depending on a parameter value didn't work either.
* Apply my original fix for Taiki Yamaguchi's bug report about DISTINCT MAX().Tom Lane2008-03-31
| | | | Add some regression tests for plausible failures in this area.
* Fix my brain fade in TRUNCATE triggers patch: can't release relcache refcountsTom Lane2008-03-31
| | | | | | while EState still contains pointers to those relations. Exposed by the CLOBBER_CACHE_ALWAYS tests that buildfarm member jaguar is running (I knew those cycles would pay off...)
* Use error message wordings for permissions checks on .pgpass and SSL privateTom Lane2008-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | key files that are similar to the one for the postmaster's data directory permissions check. (I chose to standardize on that one since it's the most heavily used and presumably best-wordsmithed by now.) Also eliminate explicit tests on file ownership in these places, since the ensuing read attempt must fail anyway if it's wrong, and there seems no value in issuing the same error message for distinct problems. (But I left in the explicit ownership test in postmaster.c, since it had its own error message anyway.) Also be more specific in the documentation's descriptions of these checks. Per a gripe from Kevin Hunter.
* Fix a number of places that were making file-type tests infelicitously.Tom Lane2008-03-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The places that did, eg, (statbuf.st_mode & S_IFMT) == S_IFDIR were correct, but there is no good reason not to use S_ISDIR() instead, especially when that's what the other 90% of our code does. The places that did, eg, (statbuf.st_mode & S_IFDIR) were flat out *wrong* and would fail in various platform-specific ways, eg a symlink could be mistaken for a regular file on most Unixen. The actual impact of this is probably small, since the problem cases seem to always involve symlinks or sockets, which are unlikely to be found in the directories that PG code might be scanning. But it's clearly trouble waiting to happen, so patch all the way back anyway. (There seem to be no occurrences of the mistake in 7.4.)
* Show database access privileges in psql's \l command. For \l+, also showTom Lane2008-03-30
| | | | | | database size, when available to the current user. Andrew Gilligan
* Display incoming as well as outgoing foreign-key constraints in psql'sTom Lane2008-03-30
| | | | | | \d output for a table. Kenneth D'Souza, some changes by myself.
* Improve description of \du and \dg, per suggestion fromTom Lane2008-03-29
| | | | Harald Armin Massa.
* Improve psql's tab completion to handle completing attribute names in casesTom Lane2008-03-29
| | | | | | | | | | where the relation name was schema-qualified, for example UPDATE foo.bar SET <tab> Also support cases where the relation name was quoted unnecessarily, for example UPDATE "foo" SET <tab> Greg Sabino Mullane, slightly simplified by myself.
* Revert my erroneous fix for Taiki Yamaguchi's DISTINCT MAX() bug.Tom Lane2008-03-29
| | | | Whatever we do about that, this isn't the path to the solution.
* Department of second thoughts: the rule that ORDER BY and DISTINCT areTom Lane2008-03-28
| | | | | | | | | useless for an ungrouped-aggregate query holds regardless of whether optimize_minmax_aggregates succeeds. So we might as well apply the optimization in any case. I'll leave 8.3 as it was, since this version is a tad more invasive than my earlier patch.
* Support statement-level ON TRUNCATE triggers. Simon RiggsTom Lane2008-03-28
|
* When we have successfully optimized a MIN or MAX aggregate into an indexscan,Tom Lane2008-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | the query result must be exactly one row (since we don't do this when there's any GROUP BY). Therefore any ORDER BY or DISTINCT attached to the query is useless and can be dropped. Aside from saving useless cycles, this protects us against problems with matching the hacked-up tlist entries to sort clauses, as seen in a bug report from Taiki Yamaguchi. We might need to work harder if we ever try to optimize grouped queries with this approach, but this solution will do for now.

* Reduce the need for frontend programs to include "postgres.h" by refactoringTom Lane2008-03-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | inclusions in src/include/catalog/*.h files. The main idea here is to push function declarations for src/backend/catalog/*.c files into separate headers, rather than sticking them into the corresponding catalog definition file as has been done in the past. This commit only carries out that idea fully for pg_proc, pg_type and pg_conversion, but that's enough for the moment --- if pg_list.h ever becomes unsafe for frontend code to include, we'll need to work a bit more. Zdenek Kotala
* Move the HTSU_Result enum definition into snapshot.h, to avoid includingAlvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | | | tqual.h into heapam.h. This makes all inclusion of tqual.h explicit. I also sorted alphabetically the includes on some source files.
* Rename snapmgmt.c/h to snapmgr.c/h, for consistency with other files.Alvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | Per complaint from Tom Lane.
* Separate snapshot management code from tuple visibility code, create aAlvaro Herrera2008-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | snapmgmt.c file for the former. The header files have also been reorganized in three parts: the most basic snapshot definitions are now in a new file snapshot.h, and the also new snapmgmt.h keeps the definitions for snapmgmt.c. tqual.h has been reduced to the bare minimum. This patch is just a first step towards managing live snapshots within a transaction; there is no functionality change. Per my proposal to pgsql-patches on 20080318191940.GB27458@alvh.no-ip.org and subsequent discussion.
* Include \password in the psql help.Magnus Hagander2008-03-26
| | | | | While at it, change the order of the documented options to be alphabetically again.
* Strengthen warnings about using pg_dump's -i option.Bruce Momjian2008-03-26

* Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary CTom Lane2008-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | strings. This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text, cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString. A number of existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed. Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used to be needed. There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin, and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though). This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach text_to_cstring. We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few places where it was easy, but much more could be done. Brendan Jurd and Tom Lane
* Add a new tuplestore API function, tuplestore_putvalues(). This isNeil Conway2008-03-25
| | | | | | | identical to tuplestore_puttuple(), except it operates on arrays of Datums + nulls rather than a fully-formed HeapTuple. In several places that use the tuplestore API, this means we can avoid creating a HeapTuple altogether, saving a copy.
* added ECPGget_PGconn to exports.txtMichael Meskes2008-03-25

* When a relation has been proven empty by constraint exclusion, propagate thatTom Lane2008-03-24
| | | | | | | | knowledge up through any joins it participates in. We were doing that already in some special cases but not in the general case. Also, defend against zero row estimates for the input relations in cost_mergejoin --- this fix may have eliminated the only scenario in which that can happen, but be safe. Per report from Alex Solovey.
* Use new errdetail_log() mechanism to provide a less klugy way of reportingTom Lane2008-03-24
| | | | | large numbers of dependencies on a role that couldn't be dropped. Per a comment from Alvaro.
* Fix various infelicities that have snuck into usage of errdetail() andTom Lane2008-03-24
| | | | | | friends. Avoid double translation of some messages, ensure other messages are exposed for translation (and make them follow the style guidelines), avoid unsafe passing of an unpredictable message text as a format string.
* Adjust the recent patch for reporting of deadlocked queries so that we reportTom Lane2008-03-24
| | | | | | | | query texts only to the server log. This eliminates the issue of possible leaking of security-sensitive data in other sessions' queries. Since the log is presumed secure, we can now log the queries of all sessions involved in the deadlock, whether or not they belong to the same user as the one reporting the failure.
* Add a new ereport auxiliary function errdetail_log(), which works the same asTom Lane2008-03-24
| | | | | | | | errdetail except the string goes only to the server log, replacing the normal errdetail there. This provides a reasonably clean way of dealing with error details that are too security-sensitive or too bulky to send to the client. This commit just adds the infrastructure --- actual uses to follow.
* Avoid a useless tuple copy within nodeMaterial. Neil ConwayTom Lane2008-03-23
|
* Create a function quote_nullable(), which works the same as quote_literal()Tom Lane2008-03-23
| | | | | | | | | except that it returns the string 'NULL', rather than a SQL null, when called with a null argument. This is often a much more useful behavior for constructing dynamic queries. Add more discussion to the documentation about how to use these functions. Brendan Jurd
* Refactor to_char/to_date formatting code; primarily, replace DCH_processorTom Lane2008-03-22
| | | | | with two new functions DCH_to_char and DCH_from_char that have less confusing APIs. Brendan Jurd
* Add server side lo_import(filename, oid) function.Tatsuo Ishii2008-03-22
|
* Remove TypeName struct's timezone flag, which has been write-only storageTom Lane2008-03-21
| | | | | for a very long time --- in current usage it's entirely redundant with the name field.
* Give an explicit error for serial[], rather than silently ignoringTom Lane2008-03-21
| | | | the array decoration as the code had been doing.
* Report the current queries of all backends involved in a deadlockTom Lane2008-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | (if they'd be visible to the current user in pg_stat_activity). This might look like it's subject to race conditions, but it's actually pretty safe because at the time DeadLockReport() is constructing the report, we haven't yet aborted our transaction and so we can expect that everyone else involved in the deadlock is still blocked on some lock. (There are corner cases where that might not be true, such as a statement timeout triggering in another backend before we finish reporting; but at worst we'd report a misleading activity string, so it seems acceptable considering the usefulness of reporting the queries.) Original patch by Itagaki Takahiro, heavily modified by me.

* Get rid of a bunch of #ifdef HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP conditionals by inventingTom Lane2008-03-21
| | | | | | | | | | a new typedef TimeOffset to represent an intermediate time value. It's either int64 or double as appropriate, and in most usages will be measured in microseconds or seconds the same as Timestamp. We don't call it Timestamp, though, since the value doesn't necessarily represent an absolute time instant. Warren Turkal
* Arrange for an explicit cast applied to an ARRAY[] constructor to be appliedTom Lane2008-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | directly to all the member expressions, instead of the previous implementation where the ARRAY[] constructor would infer a common element type and then we'd coerce the finished array after the fact. This has a number of benefits, one being that we can allow an empty ARRAY[] construct so long as its element type is specified by such a cast. Brendan Jurd, minor fixes by me.
* Add a couple of missing FreeQueryDesc calls. Noticed while testing aAlvaro Herrera2008-03-20

* Dept of second thoughts: --no-tablespaces had better also preventTom Lane2008-03-20
| | | | pg_dumpall from attaching TABLESPACE options to CREATE DATABASE commands.
* Support a --no-tablespaces option in pg_dump/pg_dumpall/pg_restore, so thatTom Lane2008-03-20
| | | | | | | | dumps can be loaded into databases without the same tablespaces that the source had. The option acts by suppressing all "SET default_tablespace" commands, and also CREATE TABLESPACE commands in pg_dumpall's case. Gavin Roy, with documentation and minor fixes by me.
* Added ECPGget_PGconn() function to ecpglib, courtesy of Mike Aubury.Michael Meskes2008-03-20

* Add the missing cyrillic "Yo" characters ('e' and 'E' with two dots) to theHeikki Linnakangas2008-03-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ISO_8859-5 <-> MULE_INTERNAL conversion tables. This was discovered when trying to convert a string containing those characters from ISO_8859-5 to Windows-1251, because we use MULE_INTERNAL/KOI8R as an intermediate encoding between those two. While the missing "Yo" was just an omission in the conversion tables, there are a few other characters like the "Numero" sign ("No" as a single character) that exists in all the other cyrillic encodings (win1251, ISO_8859-5 and cp866), but not in KOI8R. Added comments about that. Patch by Sergey Burladyan. Back-patch to 7.4.
