mark query as having subselects if a subselect was added from a rule
WHERE condition (as opposed to a rule action). Also, fix adjustment
of varlevelsup so that it actually has some prospect of working when
inserting an expression containing a subselect into a subquery.
small changes in formatting.c code (better memory usage ...etc.) and
better
to_char's cache (will fastly for more to_char()s in one query).
(It is probably end of to_char() development in 7.0 cycle.)

after trying to resolve the item as an input-column name. This allows us
to be compliant with the SQL92 spec for queries that fall within the spec,
while still accepting the same out-of-spec queries as 6.5 did. You'll only
lose if there is an output column name that is the same as an input
column name, but doesn't refer to the same value. 7.0 will interpret
such a GROUP BY spec differently than 6.5 did. No way around that, because
6.5 was clearly not spec compliant.
CREATE DB/DROP DB. If you didn't think they were wrong, try what
happens when you compile with -DCLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY --- database
name displayed in error messages is trashed, because transaction
abort freed it. Also, remove trailing periods in error messages,
per our prevailing style.
Implement TIME WITH TIME ZONE type (timetz internal type).
Remap length() for character strings to CHAR_LENGTH() for SQL92
and to remove the ambiguity with geometric length() functions.
Keep length() for character strings for backward compatibility.
Shrink stored views by removing internal column name list from visible rte.
Implement min(), max() for time and timetz data types.
Implement conversion of TIME to INTERVAL.
Implement abs(), mod(), fac() for the int8 data type.
Rename some math functions to generic names:
round(), sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), etc.
Rename NUMERIC power() function to pow().
Fix int2 factorial to calculate result in int4.
Enhance the Oracle compatibility function translate() to work with string
arguments (from Edwin Ramirez).
Modify pg_proc system table to remove OID holes.
(ie, allow rounding to occur at a digit position left of the decimal
point). Apparently this is how Oracle handles it, and there are
precedents in other programming languages as well.
Since we detect oversize tuples elsewhere, I see no reason not to allow
string constants that are 'too long' --- after all, they might never get
stored in a tuple at all.
YY_READ_BUF_SIZE, which turns out to have nothing to do with buffer size.
It's just a totally arbitrary upper limit on how much data myinput() is
asked for at one time.
that the inputs to a given operator can be recursively simplified to
constants, it was evaluating the operator using the op's *original*
(unsimplified) arg list, so that any subexpressions had to be evaluated
again. A constant subexpression at depth N got evaluated N times.
Probably not very important in practical situations, but it made us look
real slow in MySQL's 'crashme' test...
gone, replaced by plain a_expr. The few places where we needed to
distinguish NULL from a_expr are now handled by tests inside the actions
rather than by separate productions. This allows us to accept queries
like 'SELECT 1 + NULL' without requiring parentheses around the NULL.
subplan: do it if subplan has subplans itself, and always do it if the
subplan is an indexscan. (I originally set it to materialize an indexscan
only if the indexqual is fairly selective, but I dunno what I was
thinking ... an unselective indexscan is still expensive ...)
coercion code. I'm beginning to wonder why we have separate candidate
selection routines for functions, operators, and aggregates --- shouldn't
this code all be unified? But meanwhile,
SELECT 'a' LIKE 'a';
finally works; the code for dealing with unknown input types for operators
was pretty busted.
per pghackers discussion around 20-Feb. Also add specific error messages
for unterminated comments and unterminated quoted strings. These things
are nonissues for input coming from psql, but they do matter for input
coming from other front ends.
array. This allows processing of conninfo strings to be made thread-safe,
at the cost of a small memory leak in applications that use
PQconndefaults() and are not updated to free the returned array via
the new PQconninfoFree() function. But PQconndefaults() is probably not
used very much, so this seems like a good compromise.
nodes. The former version failed to check permissions of relations that
were referenced in second and later clauses of UNIONs, and it did not
check permissions of tables referenced via inheritance.
