Robert Haas 82b1b213ca Adjust more backend functions to return OID rather than void.
This is again intended to support extensions to the event trigger
functionality.  This may go a bit further than we need for that
purpose, but there's some value in being consistent, and the OID
may be useful for other purposes also.

Tom Lane a4e8680a6c When converting a table to a view, remove its system columns.
Views should not have any pg_attribute entries for system columns.
However, we forgot to remove such entries when converting a table to a
view.  This could lead to crashes later on, if someone attempted to
reference such a column, as reported by Kohei KaiGai.

Patch in HEAD only.  This bug has been there forever, but in the back
branches we will have to defend against existing mis-converted views,
so it doesn't seem worthwhile to change the conversion code too.

Alvaro Herrera c219d9b0a5 Split tuple struct defs from htup.h to htup_details.h
This reduces unnecessary exposure of other headers through htup.h, which
is very widely included by many files.

I have chosen to move the function prototypes to the new file as well,
because that means htup.h no longer needs to include tupdesc.h.  In
itself this doesn't have much effect in indirect inclusion of tupdesc.h
throughout the tree, because it's also required by execnodes.h; but it's
something to explore in the future, and it seemed best to do the htup.h
change now while I'm busy with it.

Tom Lane 9dbf2b7d75 Restructure SELECT INTO's parsetree representation into CreateTableAsStmt.
Making this operation look like a utility statement seems generally a good
idea, and particularly so in light of the desire to provide command
triggers for utility statements.  The original choice of representing it as
SELECT with an IntoClause appendage had metastasized into rather a lot of
places, unfortunately, so that this patch is a great deal more complicated
than one might at first expect.

In particular, keeping EXPLAIN working for SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS
subcommands required restructuring some EXPLAIN-related APIs.  Add-on code
that calls ExplainOnePlan or ExplainOneUtility, or uses
ExplainOneQuery_hook, will need adjustment.

Also, the cases PREPARE ... SELECT INTO and CREATE RULE ... SELECT INTO,
which formerly were accepted though undocumented, are no longer accepted.
The PREPARE case can be replaced with use of CREATE TABLE AS EXECUTE.
The CREATE RULE case doesn't seem to have much real-world use (since the
rule would work only once before failing with "table already exists"),
so we'll not bother with that one.

Both SELECT INTO and CREATE TABLE AS still return a command tag of
"SELECT nnnn".  There was some discussion of returning "CREATE TABLE nnnn",
but for the moment backwards compatibility wins the day.

Robert Haas 07d1edb954 Extend object access hook framework to support arguments, and DROP.
This allows loadable modules to get control at drop time, perhaps for the
purpose of performing additional security checks or to log the event.
The initial purpose of this code is to support sepgsql, but other
applications should be possible as well.

Robert Haas 2ad36c4e44 Improve table locking behavior in the face of current DDL.
In the previous coding, callers were faced with an awkward choice:
look up the name, do permissions checks, and then lock the table; or
look up the name, lock the table, and then do permissions checks.
The first choice was wrong because the results of the name lookup
and permissions checks might be out-of-date by the time the table
lock was acquired, while the second allowed a user with no privileges
to interfere with access to a table by users who do have privileges
(e.g. if a malicious backend queues up for an AccessExclusiveLock on
a table on which AccessShareLock is already held, further attempts
to access the table will be blocked until the AccessExclusiveLock
is obtained and the malicious backend's transaction rolls back).

To fix, allow callers of RangeVarGetRelid() to pass a callback which
gets executed after performing the name lookup but before acquiring
the relation lock.  If the name lookup is retried (because
invalidation messages are received), the callback will be re-executed
as well, so we get the best of both worlds.  RangeVarGetRelid() is
renamed to RangeVarGetRelidExtended(); callers not wishing to supply
a callback can continue to invoke it as RangeVarGetRelid(), which is
now a macro.  Since the only one caller that uses nowait = true now
passes a callback anyway, the RangeVarGetRelid() macro defaults nowait
as well.  The callback can also be used for supplemental locking - for
example, REINDEX INDEX needs to acquire the table lock before the index
lock to reduce deadlock possibilities.

There's a lot more work to be done here to fix all the cases where this
can be a problem, but this commit provides the general infrastructure
and fixes the following specific cases: REINDEX INDEX, REINDEX TABLE,
LOCK TABLE, and and DROP TABLE/INDEX/SEQUENCE/VIEW/FOREIGN TABLE.

Per discussion with Noah Misch and Alvaro Herrera.

Robert Haas 4240e429d0 Try to acquire relation locks in RangeVarGetRelid.
In the previous coding, we would look up a relation in RangeVarGetRelid,
lock the resulting OID, and then AcceptInvalidationMessages().  While
this was sufficient to ensure that we noticed any changes to the
relation definition before building the relcache entry, it didn't
handle the possibility that the name we looked up no longer referenced
the same OID.  This was particularly problematic in the case where a
table had been dropped and recreated: we'd latch on to the entry for
the old relation and fail later on.  Now, we acquire the relation lock
inside RangeVarGetRelid, and retry the name lookup if we notice that
invalidation messages have been processed meanwhile.  Many operations
that would previously have failed with an error in the presence of
concurrent DDL will now succeed.

There is a good deal of work remaining to be done here: many callers
of RangeVarGetRelid still pass NoLock for one reason or another.  In
addition, nothing in this patch guards against the possibility that
the meaning of an unqualified name might change due to the creation
of a relation in a schema earlier in the user's search path than the
one where it was previously found.  Furthermore, there's nothing at
all here to guard against similar race conditions for non-relations.
For all that, it's a start.

Tom Lane bfcb9328e5 Index tuple data arrays using Anum_xxx symbolic constants instead of "i++".
We had already converted most places to this style, but this patch gets the
last few that were still doing it the old way.  The main advantage is that
this exposes a greppable name for each target column, rather than having
to rely on comments (which a couple of places failed to provide anyhow).

Tom Lane 389af95155 Support data-modifying commands (INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE) in WITH.
This patch implements data-modifying WITH queries according to the
semantics that the updates all happen with the same command counter value,
and in an unspecified order.  Therefore one WITH clause can't see the
effects of another, nor can the outer query see the effects other than
through the RETURNING values.  And attempts to do conflicting updates will
have unpredictable results.  We'll need to document all that.

This commit just fixes the code; documentation updates are waiting on
author.

This patch adds the server infrastructure to support extensions.
There is still one significant loose end, namely how to make it play nice

Robert Haas cc1ed40d57 Object access hook framework, with post-creation hook.
After a SQL object is created, we provide an opportunity for security
or logging plugins to get control; for example, a security label provider
could use this to assign an initial security label to newly created
objects.  The basic infrastructure is (hopefully) reusable for other types
of events that might require similar treatment.

Robert Haas e26c539e9f Wrap calls to SearchSysCache and related functions using macros.
The purpose of this change is to eliminate the need for every caller
of SearchSysCache, SearchSysCacheCopy, SearchSysCacheExists,
GetSysCacheOid, and SearchSysCacheList to know the maximum number
of allowable keys for a syscache entry (currently 4).  This will
make it far easier to increase the maximum number of keys in a
future release should we choose to do so, and it makes the code
shorter, too.

Heikki Linnakangas 3396000684 Rethink the way FSM truncation works. Instead of WAL-logging FSM
truncations in FSM code, call FreeSpaceMapTruncateRel from smgr_redo. To
make that cleaner from modularity point of view, move the WAL-logging one
level up to RelationTruncate, and move RelationTruncate and all the
related WAL-logging to new src/backend/catalog/storage.c file. Introduce
new RelationCreateStorage and RelationDropStorage functions that are used
instead of calling smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink directly. Move the
pending rel deletion stuff from smgrcreate/smgrscheduleunlink to the new
functions. This leaves smgr.c as a thin wrapper around md.c; all the
transactional stuff is now in storage.c.

This will make it easier to add new forks with similar truncation logic,
like the visibility map.

Tom Lane e4718f2c9e Replace pg_class.reltriggers with relhastriggers, which is just a boolean hint
("there might be triggers") rather than an exact count.  This is necessary
catalog infrastructure for the upcoming patch to reduce the strength of
locking needed for trigger addition/removal.  Split out and committed
separately for ease of reviewing/testing.

In passing, also get rid of the unused pg_class columns relukeys, relfkeys,
and relrefs, which haven't been maintained in many years and now have no
chance of ever being maintained (because of wishing to avoid locking).

(which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary
char values).  Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions,
reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones.
We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still
contain many instances of the old coding style.

Tom Lane 44d5be0e53 Implement SQL-standard WITH clauses, including WITH RECURSIVE.
There are some unimplemented aspects: recursive queries must use UNION ALL
(should allow UNION too), and we don't have SEARCH or CYCLE clauses.
These might or might not get done for 8.4, but even without them it's a
pretty useful feature.

There are also a couple of small loose ends and definitional quibbles,
which I'll send a memo about to pgsql-hackers shortly.  But let's land
the patch now so we can get on with other development.

Heikki Linnakangas 3f0e808c4a Introduce the concept of relation forks. An smgr relation can now consist
of multiple forks, and each fork can be created and grown separately.

The bulk of this patch is about changing the smgr API to include an extra
ForkNumber argument in every smgr function. Also, smgrscheduleunlink and
smgrdounlink no longer implicitly call smgrclose, because other forks might
still exist after unlinking one. The callers of those functions have been
modified to call smgrclose instead.

This patch in itself doesn't have any user-visible effect, but provides the
infrastructure needed for upcoming patches. The additional forks envisioned
are a rewritten FSM implementation that doesn't rely on a fixed-size shared
memory block, and a visibility map to allow skipping portions of a table in
VACUUM that have no dead tuples.

Alvaro Herrera a3540b0f65 Improve our #include situation by moving pointer types away from the
corresponding struct definitions.  This allows other headers to avoid including
certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just

unnecessary dependencies.

Tom Lane 220db7ccd8 Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary C
strings.  This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString.  A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.

Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed.  There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).

This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring.  We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

Tom Lane 862861ee77 Fix a couple of misbehaviors rooted in the fact that the default creation
namespace isn't necessarily first in the search path (there could be implicit
schemas ahead of it).  Examples are

test=# set search_path TO s1;

test=# create view pg_timezone_names as select * from pg_timezone_names();
ERROR:  "pg_timezone_names" is already a view

test=# create table pg_class (f1 int primary key);
ERROR:  permission denied: "pg_class" is a system catalog

You'd expect these commands to create the requested objects in s1, since
names beginning with pg_ aren't supposed to be reserved anymore.  What is
happening is that we create the requested base table and then execute
additional commands (here, CREATE RULE or CREATE INDEX), and that code is
passed the same RangeVar that was in the original command.  Since that
RangeVar has schemaname = NULL, the secondary commands think they should do a
path search, and that means they find system catalogs that are implicitly in
front of s1 in the search path.

This is perilously close to being a security hole: if the secondary command
failed to apply a permission check then it'd be possible for unprivileged
users to make schema modifications to system catalogs.  But as far as I can
find, there is no code path in which a check doesn't occur.  Which makes it
just a weird corner-case bug for people who are silly enough to want to
name their tables the same as a system catalog.

The relevant code has changed quite a bit since 8.2, which means this patch
wouldn't work as-is in the back branches.  Since it's a corner case no one
has reported from the field, I'm not going to bother trying to back-patch.

Tom Lane 46379d6e60 Separate parse-analysis for utility commands out of parser/analyze.c
(which now deals only in optimizable statements), and put that code
into a new file parser/parse_utilcmd.c.  This helps clarify and enforce
the design rule that utility statements shouldn't be processed during
the regular parse analysis phase; all interpretation of their meaning
should happen after they are given to ProcessUtility to execute.
(We need this because we don't retain any locks for a utility statement
that's in a plan cache, nor have any way to detect that it's stale.)

We are also able to simplify the API for parse_analyze() and related
routines, because they will now always return exactly one Query structure.

In passing, fix bug #3403 concerning trying to add a serial column to
an existing temp table (this is largely Heikki's work, but we needed
all that restructuring to make it safe).

Tom Lane bbbe825f5f Modify processing of DECLARE CURSOR and EXPLAIN so that they can resolve the
types of unspecified parameters when submitted via extended query protocol.
This worked in 8.2 but I had broken it during plancache changes.  DECLARE
CURSOR is now treated almost exactly like a plain SELECT through parse
analysis, rewrite, and planning; only just before sending to the executor
do we divert it away to ProcessUtility.  This requires a special-case check
in a number of places, but practically all of them were already special-casing
SELECT INTO, so it's not too ugly.  (Maybe it would be a good idea to merge
the two by treating IntoClause as a form of utility statement?  Not going to
worry about that now, though.)  That approach doesn't work for EXPLAIN,
however, so for that I punted and used a klugy solution of running parse
analysis an extra time if under extended query protocol.

Jan Wieck 0fe16500d3 Changes pg_trigger and extend pg_rewrite in order to allow triggers and
rules to be defined with different, per session controllable, behaviors
for replication purposes.

This will allow replication systems like Slony-I and, as has been stated
on pgsql-hackers, other products to control the firing mechanism of
triggers and rewrite rules without modifying the system catalog directly.

The firing mechanisms are controlled by a new superuser-only GUC
variable, session_replication_role, together with a change to
pg_trigger.tgenabled and a new column pg_rewrite.ev_enabled. Both
columns are a single char data type now (tgenabled was a bool before).
The possible values in these attributes are:

     'O' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "origin"
           (default) or "local". This is the default behavior.

     'D' - Trigger/Rule is disabled and fires never

     'A' - Trigger/Rule fires always regardless of the setting of
           session_replication_role

     'R' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "replica"

The GUC variable can only be changed as long as the system does not have
any cached query plans. This will prevent changing the session role and
accidentally executing stored procedures or functions that have plans
cached that expand to the wrong query set due to differences in the rule
firing semantics.

The SQL syntax for changing a triggers/rules firing semantics is

     ALTER TABLE <tabname> <when> TRIGGER|RULE <name>;

     <when> ::= ENABLE | ENABLE ALWAYS | ENABLE REPLICA | DISABLE

psql's \d command as well as pg_dump are extended in a backward
compatible fashion.

Tom Lane b9527e9840 First phase of plan-invalidation project: create a plan cache management
module and teach PREPARE and protocol-level prepared statements to use it.
In service of this, rearrange utility-statement processing so that parse
analysis does not assume table schemas can't change before execution for
utility statements (necessary because we don't attempt to re-acquire locks
for utility statements when reusing a stored plan).  This requires some
refactoring of the ProcessUtility API, but it ends up cleaner anyway,
for instance we can get rid of the QueryContext global.

Still to do: fix up SPI and related code to use the plan cache; I'm tempted to
try to make SQL functions use it too.  Also, there are at least some aspects
of system state that we want to ensure remain the same during a replan as in
the original processing; search_path certainly ought to behave that way for
instance, and perhaps there are others.

Bruce Momjian 8b4ff8b6a1 Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot.
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Tom Lane 7bae5a289c Get rid of the separate RULE privilege for tables: now only a table's owner
can create or modify rules for the table.  Do setRuleCheckAsUser() while
loading rules into the relcache, rather than when defining a rule.  This
ensures that permission checks for tables referenced in a rule are done with
respect to the current owner of the rule's table, whereas formerly ALTER TABLE
OWNER would fail to update the permission checking for associated rules.
Removal of separate RULE privilege is needed to prevent various scenarios
in which a grantee of RULE privilege could effectively have any privilege
of the table owner.  For backwards compatibility, GRANT/REVOKE RULE is still
accepted, but it doesn't do anything.  Per discussion here:

Tom Lane 917bbebf7f Apply a simple solution to the problem of making INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE
RETURNING play nice with views/rules.  To wit, have the rule rewriter
rewrite any RETURNING clause found in a rule to produce what the rule's
triggering query asked for in its RETURNING clause, in particular drop
the RETURNING clause if no RETURNING in the triggering query.  This
leaves the responsibility for knowing how to produce the view's output
columns on the rule author, without requiring any fundamental changes
in rule semantics such as adding new rule event types would do.  The
initial implementation constrains things to ensure that there is
exactly one, unconditionally invoked RETURNING clause among the rules
for an event --- later we might be able to relax that, but for a post
feature freeze fix it seems better to minimize how much invention we do.

to be used in some existing plpgsql and plperl contexts, such as a
plpgsql FOR loop.  Also, do some marginal code cleanup in places that
were being sloppy about distinguishing SELECT from SELECT INTO.

in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).

Backpatch to 8.1.X.

Tom Lane 23836fb1fb A few trivial code cleanups motivated by reading warnings generated

Tom Lane 7762619e95 Replace pg_shadow and pg_group by new role-capable catalogs pg_authid
and pg_auth_members.  There are still many loose ends to finish in this
patch (no documentation, no regression tests, no pg_dump support for
instance).  But I'm going to commit it now anyway so that Alvaro can
make some progress on shared dependencies.  The catalog changes should
be pretty much done.
2005-06-28 05:09:14 +00:00
Tom Lane 162bd08b3f Completion of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs and
indexes.  Replace all heap_openr and index_openr calls by heap_open
and index_open.  Remove runtime lookups of catalog OID numbers in
various places.  Remove relcache's support for looking up system
catalogs by name.  Bulky but mostly very boring patch ...
2005-04-14 20:03:27 +00:00
Tom Lane 7c13781ee7 First phase of project to use fixed OIDs for all system catalogs and
indexes.  Extend the macros in include/catalog/*.h to carry the info
about hand-assigned OIDs, and adjust the genbki script and bootstrap
code to make the relations actually get those OIDs.  Remove the small
number of RelOid_pg_foo macros that we had in favor of a complete
set named like the catname.h and indexing.h macros.  Next phase will
get rid of internal use of names for looking up catalogs and indexes;
but this completes the changes forcing an initdb, so it looks like a
good place to commit.
Along the way, I made the shared relations (pg_database etc) not be
'bootstrap' relations any more, so as to reduce the number of hardwired
entries and simplify changing those relations in future.  I'm not
sure whether they ever really needed to be handled as bootstrap
relations, but it seems to work fine to not do so now.

Tom Lane ad161bcc8a Merge Resdom nodes into TargetEntry nodes to simplify code and save a
few palloc's.  I also chose to eliminate the restype and restypmod fields
entirely, since they are redundant with information stored in the node's
contained expression; re-examining the expression at need seems simpler
and more reliable than trying to keep restype/restypmod up to date.

Tom Lane 0ce4d56924 Phase 1 of fix for 'SMgrRelation hashtable corrupted' problem. This

it by simplifying the message semantics in the shared inval message queue,
but that part can be held over for 8.1 if it turns out too ugly.

Neil Conway 72b6ad6313 Use the new List API function names throughout the backend, and disable the
list compatibility API by default. While doing this, I decided to keep
the llast() macro around and introduce llast_int() and llast_oid() variants.
2004-05-30 23:40:41 +00:00
Neil Conway d0b4399d81 Reimplement the linked list data structure used throughout the backend.
In the past, we used a 'Lispy' linked list implementation: a "list" was
merely a pointer to the head node of the list. The problem with that
design is that it makes lappend() and length() linear time. This patch
fixes that problem (and others) by maintaining a count of the list
length and a pointer to the tail node along with each head node pointer.
A "list" is now a pointer to a structure containing some meta-data
about the list; the head and tail pointers in that structure refer
to ListCell structures that maintain the actual linked list of nodes.

The function names of the list API have also been changed to, I hope,
be more logically consistent. By default, the old function names are
still available; they will be disabled-by-default once the rest of
the tree has been updated to use the new API names.

Tom Lane 87bd956385 Restructure smgr API as per recent proposal. smgr no longer depends on
the relcache, and so the notion of 'blind write' is gone.  This should
improve efficiency in bgwriter and background checkpoint processes.
Internal restructuring in md.c to remove the not-very-useful array of
MdfdVec objects --- might as well just use pointers.
Also remove the long-dead 'persistent main memory' storage manager (mm.c),
since it seems quite unlikely to ever get resurrected.

Tom Lane cfd7fb7ed4 Fix permission-checking bug reported by Tim Burgess 10-Feb-03 (this time
for sure...).  Rather than relying on the query context of a rangetable
entry to identify what permissions it wants checked, store a full AclMode
mask in each RTE, and check exactly those bits.  This allows an RTE
specifying, say, INSERT privilege on a view to be copied into a derived
UPDATE query without changing meaning.  Per recent discussion thread.
initdb forced due to change of stored rule representation.

Tom Lane 6b73da67b2 Disallow converting a table to a view if it has triggers, indexes, or

of views.  Per bug report from Chris Pizzi.

Tom Lane 6fdc44be71 Tweak querytree-dependency-extraction code so that columns of tables
that are explicitly JOINed are not considered dependencies unless they
are actually used in the query: mere presence in the joinaliasvars
list of a JOIN RTE doesn't count as being used.  The patch touches
a number of files because I needed to generalize the API of
query_tree_walker to support an additional flag bit, but the changes
are otherwise quite small.

Tom Lane 15fe086fba Restructure system-catalog index updating logic. Instead of having
hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's
mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table.  This
reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single
line, makes it much easier to add a new system index (in fact, you
can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit
improves performance a little.  Per recent pghackers discussion.

Tom Lane 38bb77a5d1 ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN works. Patch by Christopher Kings-Lynne,
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.

Tom Lane 30ec31604d Add code to extract dependencies from an expression tree, and use it
to build dependencies for rules, constraint expressions, and default
expressions.  Repair some problems in the original design of
recursiveDeletion() exposed by more complex dependency sets.  Fix
regression tests that were deleting things in illegal sequences.
2002-07-16 05:53:34 +00:00
Tom Lane 7c6df91dda Second phase of committing Rod Taylor's pg_depend/pg_constraint patch.
pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY
constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint.  pg_depend
exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP;
however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies.
(Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly
hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type
entry when the relation is dropped.)  Need to add more logic to create
dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of
indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.

Bruce Momjian d84fe82230 Update copyright to 2002. 2002-06-20 20:29:54 +00:00
Tom Lane 959e61e917 Remove global variable scanCommandId in favor of storing a command ID
in snapshots, per my proposal of a few days ago.  Also, tweak heapam.c
routines (heap_insert, heap_update, heap_delete, heap_mark4update) to
be passed the command ID to use, instead of doing GetCurrentCommandID.
For catalog updates they'll still get passed current command ID, but
for updates generated from the main executor they'll get passed the
command ID saved in the snapshot the query is using.  This should fix
some corner cases associated with functions and triggers that advance
current command ID while an outer query is still in progress.

Tom Lane 44fbe20d62 Restructure indexscan API (index_beginscan, index_getnext) per

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.

Tom Lane b3120804ad Rule names are now unique per-relation, rather than unique globally.
DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax adds an 'ON tablename' clause,
similar to TRIGGER syntaxes.  To allow loading of existing pg_dump
files containing COMMENT ON RULE, the COMMENT code will still accept
the old syntax --- but only if the target rulename is unique across
the whole database.

Tom Lane 1dbf8aa7a8 pg_class has a relnamespace column. You can create and access tables

Tom Lane 56c9b73c1d Change the aclchk.c routines to uniformly use OIDs to identify the
objects to be privilege-checked.  Some change in their APIs would be
necessary no matter what in the schema environment, and simply getting
rid of the name-based interface entirely seems like the best way.
2002-03-21 23:27:25 +00:00
Tom Lane 95ef6a3448 First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar and
the parsetree representation.  As yet we don't *do* anything with schema
names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible
command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command.
No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field
from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
