statements:
- the table definition with a default clause referencing the sequence;
- a CREATE SEQUENCE statement;
- a UNIQUE constraint, which expands into a CREATE INDEX statement.
This is not a perfect solution, since the sequence will remain even if
the table is dropped. Also, there is no absolute protection on updating
the sequence column.
now. Here some tested features, (examples included in the patch):
1.1) Subselects in the having clause 1.2) Double nested subselects
1.3) Subselects used in the where clause and in the having clause
simultaneously 1.4) Union Selects using having 1.5) Indexes
on the base relations are used correctly 1.6) Unallowed Queries
are prevented (e.g. qualifications in the
having clause that belong to the where clause) 1.7) Insert
into as select
2) Queries using the having clause on view relations also work
but there are some restrictions:
2.1) Create View as Select ... Having ...; using base tables in
the select 2.1.1) The Query rewrite system:
2.1.2) Why are only simple queries allowed against a view from 2.1)
? 2.2) Select ... from testview1, testview2, ... having...; 3) Bug
in ExecMergeJoin ??

yyerror ones from bison. It also includes a few 'enhancements' to
the C programming style (which are, of course, personal).
The other patch removes the compilation of backend/lib/qsort.c, as
qsort() is a standard function in stdlib.h and can be used any
where else (and it is). It was only used in
backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_pool.c, backend/optimizer/path/predmig.c,
and backend/storage/page/bufpage.c

There's more to come. Please review these patches. I ran the
regression tests and they only failed where this was expected
(random, geo, etc).

sequential scans! (I think it will also work with hash, index, etc
but I did not check it out! I made some High level changes which
should work for all access methods, but maybe I'm wrong. Please
let me know.)
Now it is possible to make queries like:
select s.sname, max(p.pid), min(p.pid) from part p, supplier s
where s.sid=p.sid group by s.sname having max(pid)=6 and min(pid)=1
or avg(pid)=4;
Having does not work yet for queries that contain a subselect
statement in the Having clause, I'll try to fix this in the next
days.
If there are some bugs, please let me know, I'll start to read the
mailinglists now!
Now here is the patch against the original 6.3 version (no snapshot!!):

Pass List* of Aggregs into executor, and create needed array there.
No longer need to double-processs Aggregs with second copy in Query.
Fix crash when doing:
select sum(x+1) from test where 1 > 0;
Subject: [HACKERS] equal column and table name patch
This fixes a bug where selects fail when there is a column with the same
name as the table it's a part of.
as ints and longs. Touches on quite a few function args as
well. Most other files look ok as far as Oids go...still checking
though...
Since Oids are type'd as unsigned ints, they should prolly be used
with the %ud format string in elog and sprintf messages. Not sure
what kind of strangeness that could produce.

Changes:
* Unique index capability works using the syntax 'create unique
index'.
* Duplicate OID's in the system tables are removed. I put
little scripts called 'duplicate_oids' and 'find_oid' in
include/catalog that help to find and remove duplicate OID's.
I also moved 'unused_oids' from backend/catalog to
include/catalog, since it has to be in the same directory
as the include files in order to work.
* The backend tries converting the name of a function or aggregate
to all lowercase if the original name given doesn't work (mostly
for compatibility with ODBC).
* You can 'SELECT NULL' to your heart's content.
* I put my _bt_updateitem fix in instead, which uses
_bt_insertonpg so that even if the new key is so big that
the page has to be split, everything still works.
* All literal references to system catalog OID's have been
replaced with references to define'd constants from the catalog
header files.
* I added a couple of node copy functions. I think this was a
preliminary attempt to get rules to work.
cache. I found if I manually added a line to flush the whole relation
cache, the assert error disappeared. Looking through the code, I found
that the relation cache is flushed at the end of each query if the
reference count is zero for the relation. However, printf's showed that
the rd_relcnt(reference count) for the accessed query was not returning
to zero after each query.
It turns out the parser was doing a heap_ropen in parser/analyze.c to
get information about the table's columns, but was not doing a
heap_close.
This was causing the query after the ALTER TABLE ADD to see the old
table structure, and the executor's assert was reporting the problem.
Previously Postgres95 wouldn't accept 'order by' clauses with fields
referred to as '<table>.<field>', e.g.:
select t1.field1, t2.field2 from table1 t1, table2 t2
order by t2.field2;
This syntax is required by the ODBC SQL spec.

While a normal SELECT statement can contain a GROUP BY clause, a cursor
declaration cannot. This was not the case in PG-1.0. Was there a good
reason why this was changed? Are cursors being phased out? Is there any way
to get data with just a SELECT (and without a DECLARE CURSOR ...)?
The patch below seems to fix things. If anyone can see a problem with it,
please let me know. Thanks.

The updating of array fields is broken in Postgres95-1.01, An array can
be only replaced with a new array but not have some elements modified.
This is caused by two bugs in the parser and in the array utilities.
Furthermore it is not possible to update array with a base type of
variable length.

I have written some patches which add support for NULLs to Postgres95.
In fact support for NULLs was already present in postgres, but it had been
disabled because not completely debugged, I believe. My patches simply add
some checks here and there. To enable the new code you must add -DNULL_PATCH
to CFLAGS in Makefile.global. After recompiling you can do things like:
insert into a (x, y) values (1, NULL);
update a set x = NULL where x = 0;
You can't still use a "where x=NULL" clause, you must use ISNULL instead.
This could probably be an easy fix to do.
