get_func_arg_info() for consistency with other names there.
This code will probably be useful to other PLs when they start to
support OUT parameters, so better to have it in the main backend.
Also, fix plpgsql validator to detect bogus OUT parameters even when
check_function_bodies is off.
(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.
initdb forced due to changes in stored rules.
- use "bool" rather than "int" for boolean variables
- use "PLy_malloc" rather than "malloc" in two places
- define "PLy_strdup", and use it rather than malloc() + strcpy() in
two places (which should have been memcpy(), anyway).
- remove a bunch of redundant parentheses from expressions that do not
need the parentheses for code clarity
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.
functionality, but I still need to make another pass looking at places
that incidentally use arrays (such as ACL manipulation) to make sure they
are null-safe. Contrib needs work too.
I have not changed the behaviors that are still under discussion about
array comparison and what to do with lower bounds.
return arays nicely without having to make the plperl programmer aware
of anything. The attached patch allows plperl to return an arrayref
where the function returns an array type. It silently calls a perl
function to stringify the array before passing it to the pg array
parser. Non-array returns are handled as before (i.e. passed through
this process) so it is backwards compatible. I will presently submit
regression tests and docs.
example:
andrew=# create or replace function blah() returns text[][] language
plperl as $$ return [['a"b','c,d'],['e\\f','g']]; $$;
CREATE FUNCTION
andrew=# select blah();
blah
-----------------------------
{{"a\"b","c,d"},{"e\\f",g}}
This would complete half of the TODO item:
. Pass arrays natively instead of as text between plperl and postgres
(The other half is translating pg array arguments to perl arrays - that
will have to wait for 8.1).
Some of this patch is adapted from a previously submitted patch from
Sergej Sergeev. Both he and Abhijit Menon-Sen have looked it over
briefly and tentatively said it looks ok.

for PL/Perl, to avoid loading the entire result set into memory as the
existing spi_exec_query() function does.
Here's how one might use the new functions:
$x = spi_query("select ...");
while (defined ($y = spi_fetchrow($x))) {
...
return_next(...);
}
The changes do not affect the spi_exec_query() interface in any way.

when a plpython function returns unicode" thread:
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2005-06/msg00105.php
In several places PL/Python was calling PyObject_Str() and then
PyString_AsString() without checking if the former had returned
NULL to indicate an error. PyString_AsString() doesn't expect a
NULL argument, so passing one causes a segmentation fault. This
patch adds checks for NULL and raises errors via PLy_elog(), which
prints details of the underlying Python exception. The patch also
adds regression tests for these checks. All tests pass on my
Solaris 9 box running HEAD and Python 2.4.1.
In one place the patch doesn't call PLy_elog() because that could
cause infinite recursion; see the comment I added. I'm not sure
how to test that particular case or whether it's even possible to
get an error there: the value that the code should check is the
Python exception type, so I wonder if a NULL value "shouldn't
happen." This patch converts NULL to "Unknown Exception" but I
wonder if an Assert() would be appropriate.
The patch is against HEAD but the same changes should be applied
to earlier versions because they have the same problem. The patch
might not apply cleanly against earlier versions -- will the committer
take care of little differences or should I submit different versions
of the patch?

plperl - the attached small patch remedies that omission, and adds a
small regression test for error and warning output - the new regression
input and expected output are in separate attached files.

could not be reached before, but now that there is a plpgsql validator
function, it can be. Check is needed to prevent core dump reported by
Satoshi Nagayasu. Besides, this gives a more specific and useful
error message for a fairly common novice error.

This patch allows the PL/Python module to do (SRF) functions.
The patch was taken from the CVS version.
I have modified the plpython.c file and have added a test sql script for
testing the functionality. It was actually the script that was in the
8.0.3 version but have since been removed.
In order to signal the end of a set, the called python function must
simply return plpy.EndOfSet and the set would be returned.

Similarly for loops. This is per PL/SQL. Update the documentation and
add regression tests. Patch from Pavel Stehule, code review by Neil
Conway.
