Tom Lane 65ab9f4f24 Add a couple of information functions to support direct checks on whether
a schema is our own temp schema or another backend's temp schema, and use
these in place of some former kluges in information_schema.  Per my
proposal of yesterday.

Tom Lane 684ad6a92f Rename contrib contains/contained-by operators to @> and <@, per discussion. 2006-09-10 17:36:52 +00:00
Tom Lane ba920e1c91 Rename contains/contained-by operators to @> and <@, per discussion that
agreed these symbols are less easily confused.  I made new pg_operator
entries (with new OIDs) for the old names, so as to provide backward
compatibility while making it pretty easy to remove the old names in
some future release cycle.  This commit only touches the core datatypes,
contrib will be fixed separately.

Tom Lane 9cea5a82f8 Remove reference to contrib/mac, which isn't there anymore. 2006-09-09 18:45:37 +00:00
Tom Lane b59d31c215 Tweak the behavior of log_duration as proposed by Guillaume Smet: rather
than being equivalent to setting log_min_duration_statement to zero, this
option now forces logging of all query durations, but doesn't force logging
of query text.  Also, add duration logging coverage for fastpath function
calls.
2006-09-08 15:55:53 +00:00
Tom Lane 893632be4e Clean up logging for extended-query-protocol operations, as per my recent
proposal.  Parameter logging works even for binary-format parameters, and
logging overhead is avoided when disabled.

log_statement = all output for the src/test/examples/testlibpq3.c example
now looks like

LOG:  statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL:  parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG:  statement: execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL:  parameters: $1 = '2'

and log_min_duration_statement = 0 results in

LOG:  duration: 2.431 ms  parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
LOG:  duration: 2.335 ms  bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL:  parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG:  duration: 0.394 ms  execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE t = $1
DETAIL:  parameters: $1 = 'joe''s place'
LOG:  duration: 1.251 ms  parse <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
LOG:  duration: 0.566 ms  bind <unnamed> to <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL:  parameters: $1 = '2'
LOG:  duration: 0.173 ms  execute <unnamed>: SELECT * FROM test1 WHERE i = $1::int4
DETAIL:  parameters: $1 = '2'

(This example demonstrates the folly of ignoring parse/bind steps for duration
logging purposes, BTW.)

Along the way, create a less ad-hoc mechanism for determining which commands
are logged by log_statement = mod and log_statement = ddl.  The former coding
was actually missing quite a few things that look like ddl to me, and it
did not handle EXECUTE or extended query protocol correctly at all.

This commit does not do anything about the question of whether log_duration
should be removed or made less redundant with log_min_duration_statement.

Tom Lane 5983a1aaa9 Change processing of extended-Query mode so that an unnamed statement
that has parameters is always planned afresh for each Bind command,
treating the parameter values as constants in the planner.  This removes
the performance penalty formerly often paid for using out-of-line
parameters --- with this definition, the planner can do constant folding,
LIKE optimization, etc.  After a suggestion by Andrew@supernews.

Tom Lane 7bae5a289c Get rid of the separate RULE privilege for tables: now only a table's owner
can create or modify rules for the table.  Do setRuleCheckAsUser() while
loading rules into the relcache, rather than when defining a rule.  This
ensures that permission checks for tables referenced in a rule are done with
respect to the current owner of the rule's table, whereas formerly ALTER TABLE
OWNER would fail to update the permission checking for associated rules.
Removal of separate RULE privilege is needed to prevent various scenarios
in which a grantee of RULE privilege could effectively have any privilege
of the table owner.  For backwards compatibility, GRANT/REVOKE RULE is still
accepted, but it doesn't do anything.  Per discussion here:
