leaving uninitialized holes in the item pointer array. AFAICT the only
place that was depending on this was btree index build, which was being
cavalier about when to fill in the P_HIKEY pointer; easily fixed.
Also a small performance improvement: shuffle itemid's by means of

function returning RECORD had an alias list instead of a coldeflist.
Now both conditions throw an ERROR.

executed in an implicitely aborted transaction (e.g. after an occur
occurs), we return an error (and not just a warning). For example:
nconway=# begin;
BEGIN
nconway=# insert; -- syntax error
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ";"
nconway=# select * from a;
ERROR: current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end of
transaction block
The old behavior was:
nconway=# begin;
BEGIN
nconway=# insert;
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ";"
nconway=# select * from a;
WARNING: current transaction is aborted, queries ignored until end
of transaction block
*ABORT STATE*
Which can be confusing: if the client isn't paying careful attention,
they will conclude that the query has executed (because no error is
returned).

The local buffer manager is no longer used for newly-created relations
(unless they are TEMP); a new non-TEMP relation goes through the shared
bufmgr and thus will participate normally in checkpoints. But TEMP relations
use the local buffer manager throughout their lifespan. Also, operations
in TEMP relations are not logged in WAL, thus improving performance.
Since it's no longer necessary to fsync relations as they move out of the
local buffers into shared buffers, quite a lot of smgr.c/md.c/fd.c code
is no longer needed and has been removed: there's no concept of a dirty
relation anymore in md.c/fd.c, and we never fsync anything but WAL.
Still TODO: improve local buffer management algorithms so that it would
be reasonable to increase NLocBuffer.
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.
of functions returning domain types, update documentation for typtype,

bogus list-parsing in grammar. Issues remain with respect to alias
handling and type checking; Joe is on those.
types for Table Functions, as previously proposed on HACKERS. Here is a
brief explanation:
1. Creates a new pg_type typtype: 'p' for pseudo type (currently either
'b' for base or 'c' for catalog, i.e. a class).
2. Creates new builtin type of typtype='p' named RECORD. This is the
first of potentially several pseudo types.
3. Modify FROM clause grammer to accept:
SELECT * FROM my_func() AS m(colname1 type1, colname2 type1, ...)
where m is the table alias, colname1, etc are the column names, and
type1, etc are the column types.
4. When typtype == 'p' and the function return type is RECORD, a list
of column defs is required, and when typtype != 'p', it is
disallowed.
5. A check was added to ensure that the tupdesc provide via the parser
and the actual return tupdesc match in number and type of
attributes.
When creating a function you can do:
CREATE FUNCTION foo(text) RETURNS setof RECORD ...
When using it you can do:
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS (f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
or
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) AS f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
or
SELECT * from foo(sqlstmt) f(f1 int, f2 text, f3 timestamp)
Included in the patches are adjustments to the regression test sql and
expected files, and documentation.
p.s.
This potentially solves (or at least improves) the issue of builtin
Table Functions. They can be bootstrapped as returning RECORD, and
we can wrap system views around them with properly specified column
defs. For example:
CREATE VIEW pg_settings AS
SELECT s.name, s.setting
FROM show_all_settings()AS s(name text, setting text);
Then we can also add the UPDATE RULE that I previously posted to
pg_settings, and have pg_settings act like a virtual table, allowing
settings to be queried and set.

May not be the long-term solution (some continuing discussion with
Peter E.) but better than the current mapping of a conversion to integer
which I'd put in years ago before we had any bit string types at all.
This is already supported in the bit string implementation elsewhere.

It is just remerged against HEAD for new alter_table.out stuff.
Another reason this patch is useful for _interactive_ users: imagine a
view based on a many way join. Imagine creating a complicated insert
rule that inserts into all the joined tables and when you insert you get
a check failure, but you need to know which actual table the constraint
was on that failed!

there was a race condition between the "alter_table" and "rules"

The attached patch completes the following TODO item:
* Generate failure on short COPY lines rather than pad NULLs
I also restructed a lot of the existing COPY code, did some code
review on the column list patch sent in by Brent Verner a little
while ago, and added some regression tests. I also added an
explicit check (and resultant error) for extra data before
the end-of-line.
Neil Conway
a few other things:
* Made all references to the pg_* tables absolute, by specifying
the pg_catalog schema.
* Added SCHEMA as a create/delete completion option.
* Added SCHEMA completion as: SELECT nspname FROM
pg_catalog.pg_namespace
WHERE substr(nspname,1,%d)='%s'
* Added completion of "INSERT INTO <table> (" with attribute names.
* Added completion of "INSERT INTO <table> (attribs)" with
VALUES or SELECT
* Added limited locking completion: only for one table:
"LOCK" and "LOCK TABLE" now both get a completion list of tables
Complete with "IN" for LOCK [TABLE] <table>
Complete LOCK [TABLE] <table> IN with a lock mode
* Added a very simple WHERE finisher that uses the previous word
as a table lookup for attributes.
* Added quote support when parsing "previous words". In other words,
hitting tab after INSERT INTO "foo bar baby"
now does the right thing and recognizes "foo bar baby" as one word.
Letting tab-complete quote things that should be quoted seems to be
temporarily ifdef'ed out due to readline compatibility problems.
Can anyone elaborate on this?

* TupleDesc which is derived from the function's declared return type.

.
So i took the opportunity to fix some stuff:
1. Made the thing compile (typos & needed definitions) with the new pqsecure_* s
tuff, and added fe-secure.c to the win32.mak makefile.
2. Fixed some MULTIBYTE compile errors (when building without MB support).
3. Made it do that you can build with debug info: "nmake -f win32.mak DEBUG=1".
4. Misc small compiler speedup changes.
The resulting .dll has been tested in production, and everything seems ok.
I CC:ed -hackers because i'm not sure about two things:
1. In libpq-int.h I typedef ssize_t as an int because Visual C (v6.0)
doesn't de fine ssize_t. Is that ok, or is there any standard about what
type should be use d for ssize_t?
2. To keep the .dll api consistent regarding MULTIBYTE I just return -1
in fe-connect.c:PQsetClientEncoding() instead of taking away the whole
function. I wonder if i should do any compares with the
conn->client_encoding and return 0 if not hing would have changed (if so
how do i check that?).

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.

PX recombination operator, changes some elog() messages from LOG
to DEBUG1, puts some debugging functions inside the appropriate
#ifdef (not enabled by default), and makes a few other minor
cleanups.
BTW, the elog() change is motivated by at least one user who

"ERX recombination operator" is, and what it is doing to their
DBMS.

tuple header. The fix is based on the thought that HEAP_MOVED_IN is
not needed any more as soon as HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED has been set. So
in tqual.c and vacuum.c the HEAP_MOVED bits are cleared when
HEAP_XMIN_COMMITTED is set.
Vacuum robustness is enhanced by rearranging ifs, so that we have a
chance to elog(ERROR, ...) before an assertion fails.
A new regression test is included.

extension to create binary compatible casts. Includes dependency tracking
as well.
pg_proc.proimplicit is now defunct, but will be removed in a separate

pg_dump provides a migration path from the previous scheme to declare
casts. Dumping binary compatible casts is currently impossible, though.

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.

Implements between (symmetric / asymmetric) as a node.
Executes the left or right expression once, makes a Const out of the
resulting Datum and executes the >=, <= portions out of the Const sets.
Of course, the parser does a fair amount of preparatory work for this to
happen.

conversion procs and conversions are added in initdb. Currently
supported conversions are:
UTF-8(UNICODE) <--> SQL_ASCII, ISO-8859-1 to 16, EUC_JP, EUC_KR,
EUC_CN, EUC_TW, SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, UHC,
JOHAB, TCVN
EUC_JP <--> SJIS
EUC_TW <--> BIG5
MULE_INTERNAL <--> EUC_JP, SJIS, EUC_TW, BIG5
Note that initial contents of pg_conversion system catalog are created
in the initdb process. So doing initdb required is ideal, it's
possible to add them to your databases by hand, however. To accomplish
this:
psql -f your_postgresql_install_path/share/conversion_create.sql your_database
So I did not bump up the version in cataversion.h.

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

Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles
the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles
the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required
by SQL99.
We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons
all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs
are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for
other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move
this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend.
Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99.
This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed
due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses.
Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().
Fix pg_dump to not quote the function name in the storage tag.
Fix pg_dump so GRANT/REVOKE(ACL) tag entries are not quoted, for

Fix pg_restore to properly handle quotes and some spaces in -P.
