b0c1c53a43 Integer binary operators, from Marko Kreen <marko@l-t.ee>. Renamed bitxor 
operator to '#' for consistency.  Parser still needs work.

4f44aa04b5 Major overhaul of large-object implementation, by Denis Perchine with 
kibitzing from Tom Lane.  Large objects are now all stored in a single
system relation "pg_largeobject" --- no more xinv or xinx files, no more
relkind 'l'.  This should offer substantial performance improvement for
large numbers of LOs, since there won't be directory bloat anymore.
It'll also fix problems like running out of locktable space when you
access thousands of LOs in one transaction.
Also clean up cruft in read/write routines.  LOs with "holes" in them
(never-written byte ranges) now work just like Unix files with holes do:
a hole reads as zeroes but doesn't occupy storage space.
INITDB forced!

c82c9559a7 Minor updates/corrections for CREATE/DROP FUNCTION/AGGREGATE/OPERATOR. 2000-10-23 00:46:07 +00:00
Tom Lane
9ace03183c Some small polishing of Mark Hollomon's cleanup of DROP command: might 
as well allow DROP multiple INDEX, RULE, TYPE as well.  Add missing
CommandCounterIncrement to DROP loop, which could cause trouble otherwise
with multiple DROP of items affecting same catalog entries.  Try to
bring a little consistency to various error messages using 'does not exist',
'nonexistent', etc --- I standardized on 'does not exist' since that's
what the vast majority of the existing uses seem to be.

73677dd92f The following patch was sent to the patches list: 
This patch forces the use of 'DROP VIEW' to destroy views.

It also changes the syntax of DROP VIEW to
DROP VIEW v1, v2, ...
to match the syntax of DROP TABLE.

Some error messages were changed so this patch also includes changes to the
appropriate expected/*.out files.

Doc changes for 'DROP TABLE" and 'DROP VIEW' are included.

I hope I didn't mess the SGML up too bad, but somebody should definitly

This patch updates:

* Documentation of pg_hba.conf (added "hostssl" record docs)
* Libpq documentation (added connection option, documentation of
  PQgetssl() function)
* Add section on SSL to "Server Runtime Environment"

If you beleive any particular area needs more attention, please let me know.

664ce79dd8 Fixes for Cygwin, with help from Pete Forman <gsez020@kryten.bedford.waii.com>. 
Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.

ebdfac3bb1 the patch include: 
- rename ichar() to chr() (discussed with Tom)

        - add docs for oracle compatible routines:

                btrim()
                ascii()
                chr()
                repeat()

        - fix bug with timezone in to_char()

        - all to_char() variants return NULL instead textin("")
          if it's needful.

 The contrib/odbc is without changes and contains same routines as main
tree ... because I not sure how plans are Thomas with this :-)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This effectively one line patch should fix the fact that
foreign key definitions in create table were erroring if
a primary key was defined.  I was using the columns
list to get the columns of the table for comparison, but
it got reused as a temporary list inside the primary key
stuff.

dffd8cac3d * to_char: 
- full support for IW (ISO week) and vice versa conversion for IW too
    (the to_char 'week' support is now complete and I hope correct).

  Thomas, I use for IW code from timestamp.c, for this I create separate
  function date2isoweek() from original 'case DTK_WEEK:' code in the
  timestamp_part(). I mean will better use one code for same feature in
  date_part() and in to_char(). The isoweek2date() is added to timestamp.c
  too. Right?

  IMHO in 7.1 will all to_char's features complete. It is cca 41 templates
  for date/time and cca 21 for numbers.

 * to_ascii:

   - gcc, is it correct now? :-)


  In the patch is documentation for to_char's IW and for to_ascii().

e67ff6b670 fmgr interface mopup work. Use new DatumGetBool and BoolGetDatum 
macros where appropriate (the code used to have several different ways
of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...).  Remove last few
references to float32 and float64 typedefs --- it's all float4/float8
now.  The typedefs themselves should probably stay in c.h for a release
or two, though, to avoid breaking user-written C functions.

d06ebdb8d3 Update aggregate-function docs for STDDEV, VARIANCE. 2000-07-17 03:52:28 +00:00
Tom Lane
bec98a31c5 Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers. 
There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner.  Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.

Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default.  Unrelated
change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...

 2000-06-30 16:14:21 +00:00
Tom Lane
1aebc3618a First phase of memory management rewrite (see backend/utils/mmgr/README 
for details).  It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no
short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is
in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably.  A few long-
standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single
query string crashing.  Also, out-of-memory is now considered a
recoverable ERROR, not FATAL.
Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around
memory management.
Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and
backend startup.

c446509565 Second pass over run-time configuration system. Adjust priorities on some 
option settings. Sort out SIGHUP vs BACKEND -- there is no total ordering
here, so make explicit checks. Add comments explaining all of this.
Removed permissions check on SHOW command.

Add examine_subclass to the game, rename to SQL_inheritance to fit the
official data model better. Adjust documentation.

Standalone backend needs to reset all options before it starts. To
facilitate that, have IsUnderPostmaster be set by the postmaster itself,
don't wait for the magic -p switch.

Also make sure that all environment variables and argv's survive
init_ps_display(). Use strdup where necessary.

Have initdb make configuration files (postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf) mode
0600 -- having configuration files is no fun if you can't edit them.

82849df6c6 Add new selectivity estimation functions for pattern-matching operators 
(LIKE and regexp matches).  These are not yet referenced in pg_operator,
so by default the system will continue to use eqsel/neqsel.
Also, tweak convert_to_scalar() logic so that common prefixes of strings
are stripped off, allowing better accuracy when all strings in a table
share a common prefix.
