Thomas G. Lockhart 2c8223f14b Fix up comments where had been uglified by the automated reformatter. 2000-03-27 17:07:48 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart 0b96c6f4ae Change form of query which used "DISTINCT ON" to help support primary keys.
We still have an internal limit in the ODBC code of 8 columns per key,
 but this should lay the groundwork for resolving that.
Includes reformulated query from Tom Lane.

Tatsuo Ishii a92ab528ef Enhance pg_ctl so that it prints error messages from postmaster

Tom Lane ee4dcf1478 Update/improve documentation about creating aggregate functions. 2000-03-26 19:45:21 +00:00
Tom Lane 0a27641c1a nodeAgg has always been willing to accept an aggregate with a finalFunc
and only one transition state, but the CREATE AGGREGATE code rejected
this combination.

Tom Lane a7b8de40db Rearrange steps in recommended install procedure to something more
reasonable, ie configure and build first, then optionally run regress
tests using new parallel (non-installed) test method, and only then
backup and kill old installation.
2000-03-26 07:03:38 +00:00
Tom Lane 5521658e30 Add description of new parallel regression testing method; update

multiple directories for --with-includes or --with-libraries.

Tom Lane 7c81a130a4 Fix erroneous claim that 'postmaster -S' leaves the postmaster running
in the foreground --- in fact, it auto-detaches.

Bruce Momjian d2684ea712 Attached is the regression diff for geometry, RedHat 6.1 on a Pentium
200 MMX. I was going through my e-mail, cleaning out my 1000+ message
inbox, and found this one.  Sorry.

Tom Lane 0abebf0e7b Remove bogus complexity from build/install of plperl. This stuff was
apparently copied from the makefile for the perl5 interface module,
which needs it for reasons explained in src/interfaces/Makefile.
But none of those reasons apply to plperl.
2000-03-25 19:26:49 +00:00
Tom Lane e4739e7029 Old patch from Mark Hollomon to add plperl to createlang's repertoire.
Seems to have slipped through the cracks.

Tom Lane c446802b22 Fix syntax error reported by old shells ("if ! command..." is a
neologism, apparently).

Bruce Momjian 0dd9558ed7 Add POLLUTE=1 to perl Makefile.PL creations. 2000-03-25 14:25:31 +00:00
Tom Lane 5c462baebc transformCreateStmt should put Ident nodes, not ColumnDef nodes, into
keys lists of Constraint nodes.  This eliminates a type pun that would
probably have caused trouble someday, and eliminates circular references
in the parsetree that were causing trouble now.
Also, change parser's uses of strcasecmp() to strcmp().  Since scan.l
has downcased any unquoted identifier, it is never correct to check an
identifier with strcasecmp() in the parser.  For example,
	CREATE TABLE FOO (f1 int, UNIQUE("F1"));
was accepted, which is wrong, and xlateSqlFunc did more than it should:
select datetime();
ERROR:  Function 'timestamp()' does not exist
(good)
select "DateTime"();
ERROR:  Function 'timestamp()' does not exist
(bad)

Tom Lane 8cbeb5f131 Save a few cycles in simple cases: no need to call cost_sort() when there
is no presorted path to compare with.

Tom Lane 39cd6e2e91 outfuncs.c was missing a print routine for Material plan nodes, leading
to trouble when trying to EXPLAIN VERBOSE a plan containing one.

Tom Lane eca02fee2c Rename bytea functions to not have upper-case letters in their names.
Clean up grotty coding in them, too.  AFAICS from the CVS logs, these
have been broken since Postgres95, so I'm not going to insist on an
initdb to fix them now...
2000-03-24 02:41:46 +00:00
Tom Lane 0edcee3459 Fold PQsetenv working state into PGconn, rather than trying to maintain
it in a separate object.  There's no value in keeping the state separate,
and it creates dangling-pointer problems.  Also, remove PQsetenv routines
from public API, until and unless they are redesigned to have a safer
interface.  Since they were never part of the documented API before 7.0,
it's unlikely that anyone is calling them.

Tom Lane 7177bbac29 A little further tweaking of the range-query selectivity logic:
to avoid undue sensitivity to roundoff error, believe that a zero
or slightly negative range estimate should represent a small
positive selectivity, rather than falling back on a generic default
estimate.

Bruce Momjian 6d79d6027c >> 5. empty define that results in an empty but terminated line ( ; )

Bruce Momjian f8645018bc Back out // compiler flag. 2000-03-23 22:25:36 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 4ddc50dffa Hmm, absolute pathnames for the copy makes sense. I'll whip up that
patch in a second. Should be sufficent to just make sure the first
character is a '/', right?

Bruce Momjian b2d867fb08 Some points for portability improvements:
1. C++ style comments in C source for ecpg ( // comment )
2. compiler finds wrong include file extern.h in ecpg/lib/descriptor.c
from
include path instead of workdir (rename it ?)
3. fe-connect getsockopt takes a socklen_t as fifth arg not int (use
SOCKET_SIZE_TYPE instead)
4. char vs unsigned char in psql calls to libpq
5. empty define that results in an empty but terminated line ( ; )

Now for all but point 3 I can supply changes to the
compiler flags, to make the compiler less pedantic.
Or is someone interested in the complications ?

in the meantime can someone apply the attached patch ?

Bruce Momjian 2f839c58e2 Please apply the attached patch to interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h. This would
allow to write applications which do not have a link to postgres_ext.h in
their source directory.

Tom Lane 3097788f66 subselect regress test was kind of silly; it claimed to test correlation
cases but actually did no such thing.  Make it test some more cases than
before (including things that didn't work in 6.5).
2000-03-23 07:42:13 +00:00
Tom Lane 5c63975504 Float-to-int conversion functions should return NULL when given NULL
input, not throw a gratuitous elog().

Tom Lane 37ab088770 Remove no-longer-necessary restriction against uplevel correlation vars
outside WHERE clause.  Fix a couple of places that didn't handle uplevel
refs cleanly.

Tom Lane dadb14fa60 Hack parse_coerce so it won't try to constant-fold the dummy Const
nodes introduced by make_subplan().  It'd be better if we used a
different node type for subplan result placeholders, but for now...
