strings. Should go back in and look at doing this a bit more elegantly
and (hopefully) cheaper. Probably not too bad anyway, but it seems a
shame to scan the strings twice: once for length for this buffer overrun
protection, and once to parse the line.
Remove use of pow() in date/time handling; was already gone from everything
*but* the time data types.
Define macros for handling typmod manipulation for date/time types.
Should be more robust than all of that brute-force inline code.
Rename macros for masking and typmod manipulation to put TIMESTAMP_
or INTERVAL_ in front of the macro name, to reduce the possibility
of name space collisions.
code review by Tom Lane. Remaining issues: functions that take or
return tuple types are likely to break if one drops (or adds!)
a column in the table defining the type. Need to think about what
to do here.
Along the way: some code review for recent COPY changes; mark system
columns attnotnull = true where appropriate, per discussion a month ago.
deleted that had another row inserted/updated to its old
value during the same statement or other statements before the
integrity check for noaction would incorrectly error. This
could happen in deferred constraints or due to triggers or
functions. It's effectively a reworking of the previous patch that
did a not exists to instead do a separate check.

documentation (xindex.sgml should be rewritten), need to teach pg_dump
about it, need to update contrib modules that currently build pg_opclass
entries by hand. Original patch by Bill Studenmund, grammar adjustments
and general update for 7.3 by Tom Lane.

Attempts to use the obsoleted attributes of pg_operator or pg_proc
in the CREATE commands will be greeted by a warning. For pg_type,
there is no warning (yet) because pg_dump scripts still contain these
attributes.
Also remove new but already obsolete spellings
isVolatile, isStable, isImmutable in WITH clause. (Use new syntax
instead.)
bitmap, if present).
Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid
or not is carried in the tuple descriptor. For debugging reasons
tdhasoid is of type char, not bool. There are predefined values for
WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID.
This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week
and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources. While I
post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a
current snapshot. (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to
catch up some day ...)
This is a long patch; if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it
in smaller pieces:
Part 1: Accessor macros
Part 2: tdhasoid in TupDesc
Part 3: Regression test
Part 4: Parameter withoid to heap_addheader
Part 5: Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader
Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and
even in the parser; the other parts are straightforward.
Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to
databases created with an unpatched version. Part 5 is small (100
lines) and finally breaks compatibility.

extension to create binary compatible casts. Includes dependency tracking
as well.
pg_proc.proimplicit is now defunct, but will be removed in a separate
commit.
pg_dump provides a migration path from the previous scheme to declare
casts. Dumping binary compatible casts is currently impossible, though.
Implements between (symmetric / asymmetric) as a node.
Executes the left or right expression once, makes a Const out of the
resulting Datum and executes the >=, <= portions out of the Const sets.
Of course, the parser does a fair amount of preparatory work for this to
happen.

Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles
the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles
the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required
by SQL99.
We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons
all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs
are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for
other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move
this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend.
Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99.
This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed
due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses.
Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().
two small changes to the API since last patch, which hopefully completes
the decoupling of composite function support from SRF specific support.
Joe Conway
Second cut attached. This one just adds a boolean option to the existing
function to indicate that implicit schemas are to be included (or not).
I remembered the docs as well this time :-)
Dave Page
Will optimize the case for repeated calls for the same expression,
which seems to be the most common case. Formerly, always searched
from the first entry.
May want to look at the least-recently-used algorithm to make sure it
is identifying the right slots to reclaim. Seems silly to do math when
it seems that we could simply use an incrementing counter...
Implement SQL99 SIMILAR TO as a synonym for our existing operator "~".
Implement SQL99 regular expression SUBSTRING(string FROM pat FOR escape).
Extend the definition to make the FOR clause optional.
Define textregexsubstr() to actually implement this feature.
Update the regression test to include these new string features.
All tests pass.
Rename the regular expression support routines from "pg95_xxx" to "pg_xxx".
Define CREATE CHARACTER SET in the parser per SQL99. No implementation yet.

precision storage format. Previously applied the same math as used for the
64-bit integer storage format case, which was wrong.
Problem introduced recently when the 64-bit storage format was
implemented.
function body (and other properties) as a function in the language
is created. This generalizes ad hoc code that already existed for
the built-in languages.
The validation now happens after the pg_proc tuple of the new function
is created, so it is possible to define recursive SQL functions.
Add some regression test cases that cover bogus function definition
attempts.
yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters
to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the
new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not
force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.
allows the example in the CREATE SCHEMA ref page to actually work now.
Also, clean up when the transaction that initially creates a temp-table
namespace is later aborted. Simplify internal representation of search
path by folding special cases into the main list.
GUC support. It's now possible to set datestyle, timezone, and
client_encoding from postgresql.conf and per-database or per-user
settings. Also, implement rollback of SET commands that occur in a
transaction that later fails. Create a SET LOCAL var = value syntax
that sets the variable only for the duration of the current transaction.
All per previous discussions in pghackers.
is actively dangerous, per bug report from Ewald Geschwinde 14-May-02,
and several of the rest look suspicious to me. Since there is no longer
any significant value in retail pfree's in these functions, just get
rid of all of them for safety's sake.
returns-set boolean field in Func and Oper nodes. This allows cleaner,
more reliable tests for expressions returning sets in the planner and
parser. For example, a WHERE clause returning a set is now detected
and complained of in the parser, not only at runtime.
some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's
no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe
doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
in gram.y can make use of the keywords.c string table, instead of having
their own copies of the keyword strings. This saves a few kilobytes and
more importantly eliminates an opportunity for cut-and-paste errors.
