that apply the necessary domain constraint checks immediately. This fixes
cases where domain constraints went unchecked for statement parameters,
PL function local variables and results, etc. We can also eliminate existing
special cases for domains in places that had gotten it right, eg COPY.
Also, allow domains over domains (base of a domain is another domain type).
This almost worked before, but was disallowed because the original patch
hadn't gotten it quite right.
functions are not strict, they will be called (passing a NULL first parameter)
during any attempt to input a NULL value of their datatype. Currently, all
our input functions are strict and so this commit does not change any
behavior. However, this will make it possible to build domain input functions
that centralize checking of domain constraints, thereby closing numerous holes
in our domain support, as per previous discussion.
While at it, I took the opportunity to introduce convenience functions
InputFunctionCall, OutputFunctionCall, etc to use in code that calls I/O
functions. This eliminates a lot of grotty-looking casts, but the main
motivation is to make it easier to grep for these places if we ever need
to touch them again.
The original coding stored the raw parser output (ColumnDef and TypeName
nodes) which was ugly, bulky, and wrong because it failed to create any
dependency on the referenced datatype --- and in fact would not track type
renamings and suchlike. Instead store a list of column type OIDs in the
RTE.
Also fix up general failure of recordDependencyOnExpr to do anything sane
about recording dependencies on datatypes. While there are many cases where
there will be an indirect dependency (eg if an operator returns a datatype,
the dependency on the operator is enough), we do have to record the datatype
as a separate dependency in examples like CoerceToDomain.

during parse analysis, not only errors detected in the flex/bison stages.
This is per my earlier proposal. This commit includes all the basic
infrastructure, but locations are only tracked and reported for errors
involving column references, function calls, and operators. More could
be done later but this seems like a good set to start with. I've also
moved the ReportSyntaxErrorPosition logic out of psql and into libpq,
which should make it available to more people --- even within psql this
is an improvement because warnings weren't handled by ReportSyntaxErrorPosition.
similar constants if they were not previously defined. All these
constants must be defined by limits.h according to C89, so we can
safely assume they are present.
var_samp(), stddev_pop(), and stddev_samp(). var_samp() and stddev_samp()
are just renamings of the historical Postgres aggregates variance() and
stddev() -- the latter names have been kept for backward compatibility.
This patch includes updates for the documentation and regression tests.
The catversion has been bumped.
NB: SQL2003 requires that DISTINCT not be specified for any of these
aggregates. Per discussion on -patches, I have NOT implemented this
restriction: if the user asks for stddev(DISTINCT x), presumably they
know what they are doing.
not likely ever to be implemented seeing it's been removed from SQL2003.
This allows getting rid of the 'filter' version of yylex() that we had in
parser.c, which should save at least a few microseconds in parsing.
- new function justify_interval(interval)
- modified function justify_hours(interval)
- modified function justify_days(interval)
These functions are defined to meet the requirements as discussed in
this thread. Specifically:
- justify_hours makes certain the sign bit on the hours
matches the sign bit on the days. It only checks the
sign bit on the days, and not the months, when
determining if the hours should be positive or negative.
After the call, -24 < hours < 24.
- justify_days makes certain the sign bit on the days
matches the sign bit on the months. It's behavior does
not depend on the hours, nor does it modify the hours.
After the call, -30 < days < 30.
- justify_interval makes sure the sign bits on all three
fields months, days, and hours are all the same. After
the call, -24 < hours < 24 AND -30 < days < 30.

are unnecessarily allocated on the heap rather than the stack. If the
StringInfo doesn't outlive the stack frame in which it is created,
there is no need to allocate it on the heap via makeStringInfo() --
stack allocation is faster. While it's not a big deal unless the
code is in a critical path, I don't see a reason not to save a few
cycles -- using stack allocation is not less readable.
I also cleaned up a bit of code along the way: moved variable
declarations into a more tightly-enclosing scope where possible,
fixed some pointless copying of strings in dblink, etc.
creation of a shell type. This allows a less hacky way of dealing with
the mutual dependency between a datatype and its I/O functions: make a
shell type, then make the functions, then define the datatype fully.
We should fix pg_dump to handle things this way, but this commit just deals
with the backend.

the format on Tuple(Numeric) and the format to calculate(NumericVar)

comparisons or calculations of NUMERIC are executed, the conversion
of Numeric and NumericVar becomes a bottleneck.
It is profile result when "create index on NUMERIC column" is executed:

While we normally prefer the notation "foo.*" for a whole-row Var, that does
not work at SELECT top level, because in that context the parser will assume
that what is wanted is to expand the "*" into a list of separate target
columns, yielding behavior different from a whole-row Var. We have to emit
just "foo" instead in that context. Per report from Sokolov Yura.
and rely exclusively on the SQL type system to tell the difference between
the types. Prevent creation of invalid CIDR values via casting from INET
or set_masklen() --- both of these operations now silently zero any bits
to the right of the netmask. Remove duplicate CIDR comparison operators,
letting the type rely on the INET operators instead.
Continue to support GRANT ON [TABLE] for sequences for backward
compatibility; issue warning for invalid sequence permissions.
[Backward compatibility warning message.]
Add USAGE permission for sequences that allows only currval() and
nextval(), not setval().

multi-object operations.

tree. I kept the parentheses when they were necessary or useful because
the return expression was complex.
listed in the column's most-common-values statistics entry. This gives
us an exact selectivity result for the portion of the column population
represented by the MCV list, which can be a big leg up in accuracy if
that's a large fraction of the population. The heuristics involving
pattern contents and prefix are applied only to the part of the population
not included in the MCV list.

I believe this case is new in 8.1; it's due to the addition of OUT parameters.

if someone carelessly does setlocale(LC_ALL, "") (and we know who
you are, perl guys).
(previously we only did = and <> correctly). Also, allow row comparisons
with any operators that are in btree opclasses, not only those with these
specific names. This gets rid of a whole lot of indefensible assumptions
about the behavior of particular operators based on their names ... though
it's still true that IN and NOT IN expand to "= ANY". The patch adds a
RowCompareExpr expression node type, and makes some changes in the
representation of ANY/ALL/ROWCOMPARE SubLinks so that they can share code
with RowCompareExpr.
I have not yet done anything about making RowCompareExpr an indexable
operator, but will look at that soon.

purely for code clarity.
equal: if strcoll claims two strings are equal, check it with strcmp, and
sort according to strcmp if not identical. This fixes inconsistent
behavior under glibc's hu_HU locale, and probably under some other locales
as well. Also, take advantage of the now-well-defined behavior to speed up
texteq, textne, bpchareq, bpcharne: they may as well just do a bitwise
comparison and not bother with strcoll at all.
NOTE: affected databases may need to REINDEX indexes on text columns to be
sure they are self-consistent.

the data defining the semantics of a lock method (ie, conflict resolution
table and ancillary data, which is all constant) and the hash tables
storing the current state. The only thing we give up by this is the
ability to use separate hashtables for different lock methods, but there
is no need for that anyway. Put some extra fields into the LockMethod
definition structs to clean up some other uglinesses, like hard-wired
tests for DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD and USER_LOCKMETHOD. This commit doesn't
do anything about the performance issues we were discussing, but it clears
away some of the underbrush that's in the way of fixing that.
