Tom Lane 78114cd4d4 Further planner/optimizer cleanups. Move all set_tlist_references
and fix_opids processing to a single recursive pass over the plan tree
executed at the very tail end of planning, rather than haphazardly here
and there at different places.  Now that tlist Vars do not get modified
until the very end, it's possible to get rid of the klugy var_equal and
match_varid partial-matching routines, and just use plain equal()
throughout the optimizer.  This is a step towards allowing merge and
hash joins to be done on expressions instead of only Vars ...

form at all.

Please update set.sgml - I failed to understand all these

SET TIME ZONE { '<REPLACEABLE CLASS="PARAMETER">

now.

Bruce Momjian 155b5808ca Thanks for this, but SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL

Tom Lane c9f8ab6fba Update CREATE FUNCTION docs: mention use of AS clause with

Tom Lane e68abfbeff Update SGML docs with some changes I made to test/regress/README
many moons ago, but forgot to put here.
1999-05-20 02:46:40 +00:00
Tom Lane 507a0a2ab0 Rip out QueryTreeList structure, root and branch. Querytree
lists are now plain old garden-variety Lists, allocated with palloc,
rather than specialized expansible-array data allocated with malloc.
This substantially simplifies their handling and eliminates several
sources of memory leakage.
Several basic types of erroneous queries (syntax error, attempt to
insert a duplicate key into a unique index) now demonstrably leak
zero bytes per query.
1999-05-13 07:29:22 +00:00

Bruce Momjian 86dacdb74c libpq++ uses fe_setauthsvc which is deprecated and results in an error
on connection. This patch changes it to use PQconnectdb rather than
{fe_setauthsvc,PQsetdb}. This still isn't the complete solution, as
there
is no provision for user,password in class PgEnv, but it does get rid of
the error message. Tested with gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201
(egcs-1.1.1 release) under NetBSD-1.3K/i386.
