6b73da67b2 Disallow converting a table to a view if it has triggers, indexes, or
child tables --- all cases that will trip various sanity checks elsewhere
in the system, as well as cases that should not occur in the only intended
use of this feature, namely coping with ancient pg_dump representation
of views.  Per bug report from Chris Pizzi.

302f1a86dc Rewriter and planner should use only resno, not resname, to identify
target columns in INSERT and UPDATE targetlists.  Don't rely on resname
to be accurate in ruleutils, either.  This fixes bug reported by
Donald Fraser, in which renaming a column referenced in a rule did not
work very well.

88381ade63 Code cleanup inspired by recent resname bug report (doesn't fix the bug
yet, though).  Avoid using nth() to fetch tlist entries; provide a
common routine get_tle_by_resno() to search a tlist for a particular
resno.  This replaces a couple uses of nth() and a dozen hand-coded
search loops.  Also, replace a few uses of nth(length-1, list) with
llast().

5e3c09a114 Coerce unknown-literal-constant default values to the column type during
CREATE TABLE (or ALTER TABLE SET DEFAULT), rather than postponing it to
the time that the default is inserted into an INSERT command by the
rewriter.  This reverses an old decision that was intended to make the
world safe for writing
	f1 timestamp default 'now'
but in fact merely made the failure modes subtle rather than obvious.
Per recent trouble report and followup discussion.

will change.

e649796f12 Implement outer-level aggregates to conform to the SQL spec, with
extensions to support our historical behavior.  An aggregate belongs
to the closest query level of any of the variables in its argument,
or the current query level if there are no variables (e.g., COUNT(*)).
The implementation involves adding an agglevelsup field to Aggref,
and treating outer aggregates like outer variables at planning time.

de28dc9a04 Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.
Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed
within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the

code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c,

aa282d4446 Infrastructure for deducing Param types from context, in the same way
that the types of untyped string-literal constants are deduced (ie,
when coerce_type is applied to 'em, that's what the type must be).
Remove the ancient hack of storing the input Param-types array as a
global variable, and put the info into ParseState instead.  This touches
a lot of files because of adjustment of routine parameter lists, but
it's really not a large patch.  Note: PREPARE statement still insists on
exact specification of parameter types, but that could easily be relaxed
now, if we wanted to do so.

bdfbfde1b1 IN clauses appearing at top level of WHERE can now be handled as joins.
There are two implementation techniques: the executor understands a new
JOIN_IN jointype, which emits at most one matching row per left-hand row,
or the result of the IN's sub-select can be fed through a DISTINCT filter
and then joined as an ordinary relation.
Along the way, some minor code cleanup in the optimizer; notably, break
out most of the jointree-rearrangement preprocessing in planner.c and
put it in a new file prep/prepjointree.c.

a0bf885f9e Phase 2 of read-only-plans project: restructure expression-tree nodes
so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype
Expr.  This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any
real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node
formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least
a little space and speed improvement.

a044e2abdd Rule rewriter was doing the wrong thing with conditional INSTEAD rules
whose conditions might yield NULL.  The negated qual to attach to the
original query is properly 'x IS NOT TRUE', not 'NOT x'.  This fix
produces correct behavior, but we may be taking a performance hit because
the planner is much stupider about IS NOT TRUE than it is about NOT
clauses.  Future TODO: teach prepqual, other parts of planner how to
cope with BooleanTest clauses more effectively.

c1f91a38e2 Fix rewrite code so that rules are in fact executed in order by name,
rather than being reordered according to INSTEAD attribute for
implementation convenience.
Also, increase compiled-in recursion depth limit from 10 to 100 rewrite
cycles.  10 seems pretty marginal for situations where multiple rules
exist for the same query.  There was a complaint about this recently,
so I'm going to bump it up.  (Perhaps we should make the limit a GUC
parameter, but that's too close to being a new feature to do in beta.)

b26dfb9522 Extend pg_cast castimplicit column to a three-way value; this allows us
to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in
operator/function resolution.  Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy
for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8).
Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or
numeric (never float8 anymore).
Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came
from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do
reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics.
Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without
raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without
any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3.
This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be
reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have
no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation).
Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements;
it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example.
Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the
specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were
missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types).
Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8.

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.

5cabcfccce Modify array operations to include array's element type OID in the

the same way normal tuple access operations do --- viz, using the
tupmacs.h macros att_addlength and att_align.  This makes the world
safe for arrays of cstrings or intervals, and should make it much
easier to write array-type-polymorphic functions; as examples see

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.

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.

b0f5086e41 oid is needed, it is added at the end of the struct (after the null
bitmap, if present).

Per Tom Lane's suggestion the information whether a tuple has an oid
or not is carried in the tuple descriptor.  For debugging reasons
tdhasoid is of type char, not bool.  There are predefined values for
WITHOID, WITHOUTOID and UNDEFOID.

This patch has been generated against a cvs snapshot from last week
and I don't expect it to apply cleanly to current sources.  While I
post it here for public review, I'm working on a new version against a
current snapshot.  (There's been heavy activity recently; hope to
catch up some day ...)

This is a long patch;  if it is too hard to swallow, I can provide it
in smaller pieces:

Part 1:  Accessor macros
Part 2:  tdhasoid in TupDesc
Part 3:  Regression test
Part 4:  Parameter withoid to heap_addheader
Part 5:  Eliminate t_oid from HeapTupleHeader

Part 2 is the most hairy part because of changes in the executor and
even in the parser;  the other parts are straightforward.

Up to part 4 the patched postmaster stays binary compatible to
databases created with an unpatched version.  Part 5 is small (100
lines) and finally breaks compatibility.

a90db34b54 The attached patch (against HEAD) implements
COPY x (a,d,c,b) from stdin;
  COPY x (a,c) to stdout;

as well as the corresponding changes to pg_dump to use the new
functionality.  This functionality is not available when using
the BINARY option.  If a column is not specified in the COPY FROM
statement, its default values will be used.

In addition to this functionality, I tweaked a couple of the
error messages emitted by the new COPY <options> checks.

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.

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.

b3120804ad Rule names are now unique per-relation, rather than unique globally.
DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax adds an 'ON tablename' clause,

the old syntax --- but only if the target rulename is unique across

902a6a0a4b Restructure representation of aggregate functions so that they have pg_proc
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.

b9ae55f2aa Undo not-so-hot decision to postpone insertion of default values into
INSERT statements to the planner.  Taking it out of the parser was right
(so that defaults don't get into stored rules), but it has to happen
before rewrite rule expansion, else references to NEW.field behave
incorrectly.  Accordingly, add a step to the rewriter to insert defaults
just before rewrite-rule expansion.

6eeb95f0f5 Restructure representation of join alias variables. An explicit JOIN
now has an RTE of its own, and references to its outputs now are Vars
referencing the JOIN RTE, rather than CASE-expressions.  This allows
reverse-listing in ruleutils.c to use the correct alias easily, rather
than painfully reverse-engineering the alias namespace as it used to do.
Also, nested FULL JOINs work correctly, because the result of the inner
joins are simple Vars that the planner can cope with.  This fixes a bug
reported a couple times now, notably by Tatsuo on 18-Nov-01.  The alias
Vars are expanded into COALESCE expressions where needed at the very end
of planning, rather than during parsing.
Also, beginnings of support for showing plan qualifier expressions in
EXPLAIN.  There are probably still cases that need work.

352871ac93 Repair bug reported by Huxton, 1/24/01. We need to include a rule's
original table ('OLD' table) in its join tree if OLD is referenced by
either the rule action, the rule qual, or the original query qual that
will be added to the rule action.  However, we only want one instance
of the original table to be included; so beware of the possibility that
the rule action already has a jointree entry for OLD.

786f1a59cd Fix all the places that called heap_update() and heap_delete() without
bothering to check the return value --- which meant that in case the
update or delete failed because of a concurrent update, you'd not find
out about it, except by observing later that the transaction produced
the wrong outcome.  There are now subroutines simple_heap_update and
simple_heap_delete that should be used anyplace that you're not prepared
to do the full nine yards of coping with concurrent updates.  In
practice, that seems to mean absolutely everywhere but the executor,
because *noplace* else was checking.

a51f004d29 Repair breakage of rules containing INSERT ... SELECT actions, per bug
report from Joel Burton.  Turns out that my simple idea of turning the
SELECT into a subquery does not interact well *at all* with the way the
rule rewriter works.  Really what we need to make INSERT ... SELECT work
cleanly is to decouple targetlists from rangetables: an INSERT ... SELECT
wants to have two levels of targetlist but only one rangetable.  No time
for that for 7.1, however, so I've inserted some ugly hacks to make the
rewriter know explicitly about the structure of INSERT ... SELECT queries.
Ugh :-(

This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT

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.

264c068207 This patch implements a different "relkind"
for views. Views are now have a "relkind" of
RELKIND_VIEW instead of RELKIND_RELATION.

Also, views no longer have actual heap storage
files.

The following changes were made

1. CREATE VIEW sets the new relkind

2. The executor complains if a DELETE or
        INSERT references a view.

3. DROP RULE complains if an attempt is made
        to delete a view SELECT rule.

4. CREATE RULE "_RETmytable" AS ON SELECT TO mytable DO INSTEAD ...
        1. checks to make sure mytable is empty.
        2. sets the relkind to RELKIND_VIEW.
        3. deletes the heap storage files.
5. LOCK myview is not allowed. :)


6. the regression test type_sanity was changed to
        account for the new relkind value.

7. CREATE INDEX ON myview ... is not allowed.

8. VACUUM myview is not allowed.
        VACUUM automatically skips views when do the entire
        database.

9. TRUNCATE myview is not allowed.


THINGS LEFT TO THINK ABOUT

o pg_views

o pg_dump

o pgsql (\d \dv)
o Do we really want to be able to inherit from views?

o Is 'DROP TABLE myview' OK?

0ba0e32172 O.K. -
Here's the multibyte aware version of my patch to fix the truncation
of the rulename autogenerated during a CREATE VIEW. I've modified all
the places in the backend that want to construct the rulename to use
the MakeRetrieveViewRuleName(), where I put the #ifdef MULTIBYTE, so
that's the only place that knows how to construct a view rulename. Except
pg_dump, where I replicated the code, since it's a standalone binary.

The only effect the enduser will see is that views with names len(name)
> NAMEDATALEN-4 will fail to be created, if the derived rulename clases
with an existing rule: i.e. the user is trying to create two views with
long names whose first difference is past NAMEDATALEN-4 (but before
NAMEDATALEN: that'll error out after the viewname truncation.) In no
case will the user get left with a table without a view rule, as the
current code does.

6dc249610a Code cleanup of user name and user id handling in the backend. The current
user is now defined in terms of the user id, the user name is only computed
upon request (for display purposes). This is kind of the opposite of the
previous state, which would maintain the user name and compute the user id
for permission checks.

Besides perhaps saving a few cycles (integer vs string), this now creates a
single point of attack for changing the user id during a connection, for
purposes of "setuid" functions, etc.

b41f4ab8c4 Use a private memory context to store rule information in each relcache
entry that has rules.  This allows us to release the rule parsetrees
on relcache flush without needing a working freeObject() routine.
Formerly, the rule trees were leaked permanently at relcache flush.
Also, clean up handling of rule creation and deletion --- there was
not sufficient locking of the relation being modified, and there was
no reliable notification of other backends that a relcache reload
was needed.  Also, clean up relcache.c code so that scans of system
tables needed to load a relcache entry are done in the caller's
memory context, not in CacheMemoryContext.  This prevents any
un-pfreed memory from those scans from becoming a permanent memory
leak.

Reimplement nodeUnique and nodeGroup to use the proper datatype-specific
equality function for each column being compared --- they used to do
bitwise comparisons or convert the data to text strings and strcmp().
(To add insult to injury, they'd look up the conversion functions once

f68e11f373 Implement subselects in target lists. Also, relax requirement that
subselects can only appear on the righthand side of a binary operator.
That's still true for quantified predicates like x = ANY (SELECT ...),
but a subselect that delivers a single result can now appear anywhere
in an expression.  This is implemented by changing EXPR_SUBLINK sublinks
to represent just the (SELECT ...) expression, without any 'left hand
side' or combining operator --- so they're now more like EXISTS_SUBLINK.
To handle the case of '(x, y, z) = (SELECT ...)', I added a new sublink
type MULTIEXPR_SUBLINK, which acts just like EXPR_SUBLINK used to.
But the grammar will only generate one for a multiple-left-hand-side
row expression.

is satisfied if it removes aggregate functions from the top level of a
WHERE clause.  This cures problems with queries of the form SELECT ...
WHERE x IN (SELECT ... HAVING something-using-an-aggregate), which would
formerly get mucked up by modifyAggrefQual.  The routine is still

bd272cace6 Mega-commit to make heap_open/heap_openr/heap_close take an
additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or
'NoLock' to do no lock processing).  Ensure that all relations are locked
with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures
that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent
problems caused by concurrent VACUUM.  Fix several bugs having to do with
mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched
heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing).  A bogus ref count on
a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to
arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this
sloppiness for so long.  Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in
DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi.
Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the
Relation struct layout slightly.

db436adf76 Major revision of sort-node handling: push knowledge of query
sort order down into planner, instead of handling it only at the very top
level of the planner.  This fixes many things.  An explicit sort is now
avoided if there is a cheaper alternative (typically an indexscan) not
only for ORDER BY, but also for the internal sort of GROUP BY.  It works
even when there is no other reason (such as a WHERE condition) to consider
the indexscan.  It works for indexes on functions.  It works for indexes
on functions, backwards.  It's just so cool...

CAUTION: I have changed the representation of SortClause nodes, therefore

1f2c6f4f48 Replace rewriter's checkQueryHasAggs and checkQueryHasSubLink
with expression_tree_walker-based code.  The former failed to cope with
expressions containing SubLinks, and the latter returned TRUE for both
SubLinks and Aggrefs (cut-and-paste bug?).  There is a lot more scope for
using expression_tree_walker in this module, but I'll restrain myself
until the 6.6 split occurs from touching not-demonstrably-broken code.

b122e16a1c Bugfix - Range table entries that are unused after rewriting should
not be marked inFromCl any longer. Otherwise the planner gets confused
and joins over them where in fact it does not have to.

Adjust hasSubLinks now with a recursive lookup - could be wrong in
multi action rules because parse state isn't reset correctly and all
actions in the rule are marked hasSubLinks if one of them has.
