Neil Conway c111a7211f Update documentation for recent DTrace changes. Patch from Robert Lor. 2008-03-25 22:50:27 +00:00
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 05fc744b96 Add a new ereport auxiliary function errdetail_log(), which works the same as 
errdetail except the string goes only to the server log, replacing the normal
errdetail there.  This provides a reasonably clean way of dealing with error
details that are too security-sensitive or too bulky to send to the client.

This commit just adds the infrastructure --- actual uses to follow.

Tom Lane 7de81124d5 Create a function quote_nullable(), which works the same as quote_literal() 
except that it returns the string 'NULL', rather than a SQL null, when called
with a null argument.  This is often a much more useful behavior for
constructing dynamic queries.  Add more discussion to the documentation
about how to use these functions.
