Thomas G. Lockhart	90edb265e3	Implement SQL99 CREATE CAST and DROP CAST statements. ... Also implement alternative forms to expose the PostgreSQL CREATE FUNCTION features. Implement syntax for READ ONLY and READ WRITE clauses in SET TRANSACTION. READ WRITE is already implemented (of course). Implement syntax for "LIKE table" clause in CREATE TABLE. Should be fairly easy to complete since it resembles SELECT INTO. Implement MATCH SIMPLE clause for foreign key definitions. This is explicit SQL99 syntax for the default behavior, so we now support it :) Start implementation of shorthand for national character literals in scanner. For now, just swallow the leading "N", but sometime soon let's figure out how to pass leading type info from the scanner to the parser. We should use the same technique for binary and hex bit string literals, though it might be unusual to have two apparently independent literal types fold into the same storage type.	2002-06-22 02:04:55 +00:00

Bruce Momjian	7882179994	The normal operation of our servers is to have tcpip_sockets enabled, ... but occasionally I may need to shut down the server and restart it w/o tcpip sockets. Postmaster has the -i option to turn on tcpip connections, but it wasn't immediately clear how to easily or temporarily turn it off (when it's been enabled in postgresql.conf). In fact, it wasn't clear to me until digging in to postmaster.c that I could pass '-c tcpip_socket=false' or '--tcpip_socket=false'. (And then of course when I looked more closely at the man page I realized I'd missed the proper part of the documentation.) What I'd been looking for is a flag that would have the opposite effect of '-i', and it's conceivable that others will be looking for specific flags to do the opposite of '-F' and '-S'. I was preparing to add options to postmaster until I realized that maybe the solution is just to add some documentation. If you'd rather have 1 character options to accomplish this, I'd be happy to do that-- adding those 9 lines of code is definitely within my ability. :) (Although, the "right" letter to be the opposite of -S isn't clear to me, since -s is already taken.)

OK, the attached documentation patch provides some simple examples of use of tablename as a parameter, %ROWTYPE and %TYPE. In the end I decided that the documentation is literally correct, but hard to follow without any examples explicitly showing the use of a table name as a parameter.

Thomas G. Lockhart	133df7ce70	Add LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP functions per SQL99 standard. ... Remove ODBC-compatible empty parentheses from calls to SQL99 functions for which these parentheses do not match the standard. Update the ODBC driver to ensure compatibility with the ODBC standard for these functions (e.g. CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_USER, etc). Include a new appendix in the User's Guide which lists the labeled features for SQL99 (the labeled features replaced the "basic", "intermediate", and "advanced" categories from SQL92). features.sgml does not yet split this list into "supported" and "unsupported" lists.	2002-06-15 03:00:09 +00:00

Tom Lane	201737168c	pg_trigger's index on tgrelid is replaced by a unique index on ... (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.

Tom Lane	6cef5d2549	Operators live in namespaces. CREATE/DROP/COMMENT ON OPERATOR take ... 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 >.	2002-04-16 23:08:12 +00:00
Tom Lane	b66cbc1fa2	Adjust rules for search_path so that pg_catalog is never implicitly ... selected as the creation target namespace; to make that happen, you must explicitly set search_path that way.

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.

Bruce Momjian	01c76f7411	Ok. Updated patch attached. ... - 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	2002-03-06 20:35:02 +00:00

Eiji Tokuya	2002-03-05 05:52:50 +00:00
Bruce Momjian	03194432de	I attach a version of my toast-slicing patch, against current CVS ... (current as of a few hours ago.) This patch: 1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines. 2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to assume chunks are returned in order). 3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the beginning of the string. 4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!). All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column. 4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this patch.(I plan to return to it separately). 5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER COLUMN SET STORAGE. John Gray	2002-03-05 05:33:31 +00:00

Bruce Momjian	004293317f	Here's a patch adding documentation for the PQescapeBytea function to ... libpq.sgml I was trying (but gave up) to cross-reference back to the input escape table in the User's Guide, but could not get the documentation to compile with a cross-book xref (missing IDREF error).

Bruce Momjian	01e0dae689	I've created a new section to func.sgml, "Binary String Functions and ... Operators", plagiarized shamelessly from the "String Functions and Operators" section. There were enough differences that it made sense (at least to me) to give this its own section instead of cramming it in with normal string functions. This way I could also make the examples relevant, which is particularly important for bytea. One thing I think worth mentioning: while documenting the trim() function I realized that I never implemented the bytea equivalent of rtrim and ltrim. Therefore, the 'leading' and 'trailing' forms of trim, available with text, are not available with bytea (I'd be happy to correct this, but since it would require an initdb, I guess not until 7.3) -- the submitted doc accurately reflects this. I will look for other areas of the docs that need mention of bytea, but any guidance would be much appreciated. -- Here's a second bytea documentation patch. This one significantly expands the "Binary Data" section added by Bruce recently. Joe Conway	2001-11-20 15:42:44 +00:00

Tom Lane	a585c20d12	Tweak parser so that there is a defined representation for datatypes ... bpchar, bit, numeric with typmod -1. Alter format_type so that this representation is printed when the typmod is -1. This ensures that tables having such columns can be pg_dump'd and reloaded correctly. Also, remove the rather useless and non-SQL-compliant default precision and scale for type NUMERIC. A numeric column declared as such (with no precision/scale) will now have typmod -1 which means that numeric values of any precision/scale can be stored in it, without conversion to a uniform scale. This seems significantly more useful than the former behavior. Part of response to bug #513.	2001-11-12 21:04:46 +00:00

Tatsuo Ishii	f426465ba9	Add a new function "pg_client_encoding" which returns the current client ... side encoding name. This is necessary for client API's such as JDBC to perform correct encoding conversions. See my email "[HACKERS] pg_client_encoding" 10 Sep 2001.	2001-10-12 02:08:34 +00:00
Tom Lane	f9e6e27c87	Break transformCreateStmt() into multiple routines and make ... transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code. Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now, and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses actually fire now. ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.	2001-10-12 00:07:15 +00:00

Tom Lane	0b3bca6c6f	Change plpgsql to depend on main parser's type-declaration grammar, ... rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type declaration looks like. This is necessary now to ensure that plpgsql will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp' does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.	2001-10-09 04:15:38 +00:00

Tom Lane	03b0a589d1	Consider interpreting a function call as a trivial (binary-compatible) ... type coercion after failing to find an exact match in pg_proc, but before considering interpretations that involve a function call with one or more argument type coercions. This avoids surprises wherein what looks like a type coercion is interpreted as coercing to some third type and then to the destination type, as in Dave Blasby's bug report of 3-Oct-01. See subsequent discussion in pghackers.	2001-10-04 22:06:46 +00:00

Tom Lane	f9f258281e	Create a GUC parameter max_files_per_process that is a configurable ... upper limit on what we will believe from sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX). The default value is 1000, so that under ordinary conditions it won't affect the behavior. But on platforms where the kernel promises far more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of file descriptors. See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers around 23-Dec-2000.	2001-09-30 18:57:45 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut	14d330b5b6	Use <mediaobject> instead of <graphic> for forward compatibility. Be more ... flexible about the extension of the graphic files, allow for other formats in print output. (Generating these formats is not implemented yet.)	2001-09-30 16:05:54 +00:00

Tom Lane	499abb0c0f	Implement new 'lightweight lock manager' that's intermediate between ... existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared lock but has few other fancy features. Replace most uses of spinlocks with lightweight locks. All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff code to work efficiently given this assumption. All per my proposal on pghackers 26-Sep-01.	2001-09-29 04:02:27 +00:00

Fixes fatal problems with tar programs that don't handle symlinks very well (MacOS X). (The names user.html, admin.html, etc. are still available as make targets, but they aren't packaged anymore.) Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list for packaging. Put graphics in the right place while building, not while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.	2001-09-18 12:08:27 +00:00

Point backend's default search location there. The contrib modules are also installed in the said location, giving them the benefit of the default search path as well.

Peter Eisentraut	c0d4d5473a	Make the world somewhat safe for (not from) DELETE FROM pg_shadow; ... Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb. A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1. (Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.) In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined. Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no users are defined. Disallow dropping the current user and session user. Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd. (Previously, it would never grant it back. This could lead to "deadlocks".) CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100 (unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a superuser (plus some room for future extensions).	2001-09-08 15:24:00 +00:00

Bruce Momjian	1834987fb6	I've attached the fixed version of the patch below. After the ... discussion on pgsql-hackers (especially the frightening memory dump in <12273.999562219@sss.pgh.pa.us>), we decided that it is best not to use identifiers from an untrusted source at all. Therefore, all claims of the suitability of PQescapeString() for identifiers have been removed. Florian Weimer	2001-09-07 22:02:32 +00:00
Bruce Momjian	bd9b32803b	Here is my much-promised patch to let people add UNIQUE constraints after ... table creation time. Big deal you say - but this patch is the basis of the next thing which is adding PRIMARY KEYs after table creation time. (Which is currently impossible without twiddling catalogs) Rundown ------- * I have made the makeObjectName function of analyze.c non-static, and exported it in analyze.h * I have included analyze.h and defrem.h into command.c, to support makingObjectNames and creating indices * I removed the 'case CONSTR_PRIMARY' clause so that it properly fails and says you can't add primary keys, rather than just doing nothing and reporting nothing!!! * I have modified the docs. Algorithm --------- * If name specified is null, search for a new valid constraint name. I'm not sure if I should "lock" my generated name somehow tho - should I open the relation before doing this step? * Open relation in access exclusive mode * Check that the constraint does not already exist * Define the new index * Warn if they're doubling up on an existing index Christopher Kings-Lynne	2001-09-07 21:57:53 +00:00
