In the event of an elog() while the mode was set to immediate write,
there was no way for it to be set back to the normal delayed write.
The mechanism was a waste of space and cycles anyway, since the only user
was varsup.c, which could perfectly well call FlushBuffer directly.
Now it does just that, and the notion of a write mode is gone.
single integers, and lists of names, without surrounding them with quotes.
Remove all tokens which are defined as operators from ColID and ColLabel
to avoid precedence confusion. Thanks to Tom Lane for catching this.
to next integer. Previously, if selectivity was small, we could compute
very tiny scan cost on the basis of estimating that only 0.001 tuple
would be fetched, which is silly. This naturally led to some rather
silly plans...
Move CREATE FUNCTION/WITH clause to end of statement to get around
shift/reduce conflicts with type names containing "WITH".
Add lots of tokens as allowed ColId's and/or ColLabel's,
so this should be a complete set for the v7.0 release.
We still have an internal limit in the ODBC code of 8 columns per key,
but this should lay the groundwork for resolving that.
Includes reformulated query from Tom Lane.
apparently copied from the makefile for the perl5 interface module,
which needs it for reasons explained in src/interfaces/Makefile.
But none of those reasons apply to plperl.
keys lists of Constraint nodes. This eliminates a type pun that would
probably have caused trouble someday, and eliminates circular references
in the parsetree that were causing trouble now.
Also, change parser's uses of strcasecmp() to strcmp(). Since scan.l
has downcased any unquoted identifier, it is never correct to check an
identifier with strcasecmp() in the parser. For example,
CREATE TABLE FOO (f1 int, UNIQUE("F1"));
was accepted, which is wrong, and xlateSqlFunc did more than it should:
select datetime();
ERROR: Function 'timestamp()' does not exist
(good)
select "DateTime"();
ERROR: Function 'timestamp()' does not exist
(bad)
Clean up grotty coding in them, too. AFAICS from the CVS logs, these
have been broken since Postgres95, so I'm not going to insist on an
initdb to fix them now...
it in a separate object. There's no value in keeping the state separate,
and it creates dangling-pointer problems. Also, remove PQsetenv routines
from public API, until and unless they are redesigned to have a safer
interface. Since they were never part of the documented API before 7.0,
it's unlikely that anyone is calling them.
to avoid undue sensitivity to roundoff error, believe that a zero
or slightly negative range estimate should represent a small
positive selectivity, rather than falling back on a generic default
estimate.
