are managed as per request.
Moved from merging with table attributes to applying themselves during
coerce_type() and coerce_type_typmod.
Regression tests altered to test the cast() scenarios.

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.
per pghackers discussion. Add some more typsanity tests, and clean
up some problems exposed thereby (broken or missing array types for
some built-in types). Also, clean up loose ends from unknownin/out
patch.
entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in
namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c.
Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type
coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The
current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like,
but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided
breaking regression tests as much as I could.
- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs
- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]
Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];
Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.
Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().
Some documentation differences from earlier.
If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests. I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.
CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes. FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly. Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().

time zones.
SQL99 spec requires a default of zero (round to seconds) which is set
in gram.y as typmod is set in the parse tree. We *could* change to a
default of either 6 (for internal compatibility with previous versions)
or 2 (for external compatibility with previous versions).
Evaluate entries in pg_proc wrt the iscachable attribute for timestamp and
other date/time types. Try to recognize cases where side effects like the
current time zone setting may have an effect on results to decide whether
something is cachable or not.
Define a new function, GetCurrentTransactionStartTimeUsec() to get the time
to this precision.
Allow now() and timestamp 'now' to use this higher precision result so
we now have fractional seconds in this "constant".
Add timestamp without time zone type.
Move previous timestamp type to timestamp with time zone.
Accept another ISO variant for date/time values: yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ss
(note the "T" separating the day from hours information).
Remove 'current' from date/time types; convert to 'now' in input.
Separate time and timetz regression tests.
Separate timestamp and timestamptz regression test.

Ok, here it is. Cleared the ctx comment too - after -p
it will be PGC_BACKEND in any case.
Marko Kreen
tests to return the correct results per SQL9x when given NULL inputs.
Reimplement these tests as well as IS [NOT] NULL to have their own
expression node types, instead of depending on special functions.
From Joe Conway, with a little help from Tom Lane.
to do that, but inconsistently.) Make bit type reject too short input,
too, per SQL. Since it no longer zero pads, 'zpbit*' has been renamed to
'bit*' in the source, hence initdb.
vacuum analyze on pg_type fails if bogus entries remain in pg_operator.
Here is a sample script to reproduce the problem.
drop table t1;
create table t1(i int);
drop function foo(t1,t1);
create function foo(t1,t1) returns bool as 'select true' language 'sql';
create operator = (
leftarg = t1,
rightarg = t1,
commutator = =,
procedure = foo
);
drop table t1;
vacuum analyze;
maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used
in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too.
This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT
where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did
that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like
subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the
datatype conversions can be inserted safely.
INITDB NEEDED!
(Sorry, couldn't help it...)
Removed type filename as well, since it's unused and probably useless.
INITDB FORCED, because pg_rewrite columns are now plain text again.
than not knowing what they are at all. Perhaps they should have their own
type category? Hard to say. In the meantime, doing it this way allows
SELECT 'unknown' || 'unknown' to continue being resolved as textcat,
instead of spitting out an ambiguous-operator error.
actually a type-coercion problem. If you have a function defined on
class A, and class B inherits from A, then the function ought to work
on class B as well --- but coerce_type didn't know that. Now it does.
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.
represent the result of a binary-compatible type coercion. At runtime
it just evaluates its argument --- but during type resolution, exprType
will pick up the output type of the RelabelType node instead of the type
of the argument. This solves some longstanding problems with dropped
type coercions, an example being 'select now()::abstime::int4' which
used to produce date-formatted output, not an integer, because the
coercion to int4 was dropped on the floor.
a few bricks shy of a load concerning knowing all the date/time types.
This is real bad because it interferes with func_select_candidate()'s
willingness to disambiguate functions --- func_select_candidate() will
punt unless all the available choices have the same type category.
I think this whole mechanism needs redesigned, but in the meantime
this is a needed patch.
Transform datetime and timespan into timestamp and interval.
Deprecate datetime and timespan, though translate to new types in gram.y.
Transform all datetime and timespan catalog entries into new types.
Make "INTERVAL" reserved word allowed as a column identifier in gram.y.
Remove dt.h, dt.c files, and retarget datetime.h, datetime.c as utility
routines for all date/time types.
date.{h,c} now deals with date, time types.
timestamp.{h,c} now deals with timestamp, interval types.
nabstime.{h,c} now deals with abstime, reltime, tinterval types.
Make NUMERIC a known native type for purposes of type coersion. Not tested.
SQL cast constructs can be performed during expression transformation
instead of during parsing. This allows constructs like x::numeric(9,2)
and x::int2::float8 to behave as one would expect.
yet, but at least we can give a better error message:
regression=> select count(distinct f1) from int4_tbl;
ERROR: aggregate(DISTINCT ...) is not implemented yet
instead of 'parser: parse error at or near distinct'.
Make all system indexes unique.
Make all cache loads use system indexes.
Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables.
Rename cache names to be clearer.
Ok. I made patches replacing all of "#if FALSE" or "#if 0" to "#ifdef
NOT_USED" for current. I have tested these patches in that the
postgres binaries are identical.
Used in the generic "CREATE xxx" parsing.
Do some automatic type conversion for inserts from other columns.
Previous trouble with "resjunk" regression test remains for now.
Currently force the type to match the _first_ select in the union.
Move oper_select_candidate() from parse_func.c to parse_oper.c.
Throw error inside of oper_inexact() if no match for binary operators.
Check more carefully that types can be coerced
even if there is only one candidate operator in oper_inexact().
Fix up error messages for more uniform look.
Remove unused code.
Fix up comments.
