27a54ae282 Opclasses live in namespaces. I also took the opportunity to create
an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass.  Nothing is done with it at
present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which
suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.

6cef5d2549 Operators live in namespaces. CREATE/DROP/COMMENT ON OPERATOR take
qualified operator names directly, for example CREATE OPERATOR myschema.+
( ... ).  To qualify an operator name in an expression you need to write
OPERATOR(myschema.+) (thanks to Peter for suggesting an escape hatch).
I also took advantage of having to reformat pg_operator to fix something
that'd been bugging me for a while: mergejoinable operators should have
explicit links to the associated cross-data-type comparison operators,
rather than hardwiring an assumption that they are named < and >.

b66cbc1fa2 Adjust rules for search_path so that pg_catalog is never implicitly
selected as the creation target namespace; to make that happen, you
must explicitly set search_path that way.  This makes initdb a hair
more complex but seems like a good safety feature.

2e32eca8d0 Allow detection of collateindex.pl in stylesheet directory or in path,
which covers some recent installation schemes.

Add Mandrake installation layout to directories to check for stylesheets.

Allow documentation build to proceed if stylesheets were not found, in case
the stylesheets might be found through the SGML catalog mechanism.

6f2c0d47f8 This is a proposed patch to doc/src/sgml/libpgtcl.sgml which documents
the libpgtcl "pg_execute" command. This was mentioned on
pgsql-interfaces on Mar 3. I am posting it here in the hope that someone
will check to see if it makes sense and is correct SGML-wise.  I did run
it through jade, but this is my first try at this sort of thing.

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.

4bdb4be62e Divide functions into three volatility classes (immutable, stable, and

allows indexscan optimizations in many places where we formerly didn't.
Also, add a pronamespace column to pg_proc (it doesn't do anything yet,
however).

789ddcb5fe Add tgconstrrelid to stored Trigger structures, make RI trigger functions
depend on this rather than the trigger argument strings to locate the
other relation to test.  This makes RI triggers function properly in
the presence of schemas and temp tables.  Along the way, fix bogus lack
of locking in RI triggers, handle quoting of names fully correctly,
compute required sizes of query buffers with some semblance of accuracy.

838fe25a95 Create a new GUC variable search_path to control the namespace search
path.  The default behavior if no per-user schemas are created is that
all users share a 'public' namespace, thus providing behavior backwards
compatible with 7.2 and earlier releases.  Probably the semantics and
default setting will need to be fine-tuned, but this is a start.

from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.

01c76f7411 Ok. Updated patch attached.
- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs

- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]

Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];

Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.

Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().

Some documentation differences from earlier.

If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests.  I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.


CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes.  FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly.  Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().

03194432de I attach a version of my toast-slicing patch, against current CVS
(current as of a few hours ago.)

This patch:

1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines.

2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only
necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to
assume chunks are returned in order).

3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now
handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance
improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the
beginning of the string.

4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET
STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in
alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage
mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!).
All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column.

4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and
handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to
distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other
code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this
patch.(I plan to return to it separately).

5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in
xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER
COLUMN SET STORAGE.

a033daf566 Commit to match discussed elog() changes. Only update is that LOG is
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages.  Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.

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

REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()

bf4507e3af I think it's important that it's actually documented that they can add
primary keys after the fact!

Also, we need to add regression tests for alter table / add primary key
and alter table / drop constraint.  These shouldn't be added until 7.3
tho
methinks...

9832a235c5 Modify COPY TO to emit carriage returns and newlines as backslash escapes
(backslash-r, backslash-n) for protection against newline-conversion
munging.  In future we will also tweak COPY FROM, but this part of the
change should be backwards-compatible.  Per pghackers discussion.
Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
more completely and accurately.

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

When you run 'ecpg --help' you get the following:

          -t   turn on autocommit of transactions

amongst the other options... Shouldn't this be OFF as per the
documentation?
