process function RTE expressions, which they were previously missing.
This allows outer-Var references and subselects to work correctly in
the arguments of a function RTE. Install check to prevent function RTEs
from cross-referencing Vars of sibling FROM-items, which doesn't make
any sense (if you want to join, write a JOIN or WHERE clause).
rather than a Query node; this allows set_plan_references to recurse
into subplans correctly. Fixes core dump on full outer joins in
subplans. Also, invoke preprocess_expression on function RTEs'
function expressions. This seems to fix the planner's problems with
outer-level Vars in function RTEs.
allows the example in the CREATE SCHEMA ref page to actually work now.
Also, clean up when the transaction that initially creates a temp-table
namespace is later aborted. Simplify internal representation of search
path by folding special cases into the main list.
GUC support. It's now possible to set datestyle, timezone, and
client_encoding from postgresql.conf and per-database or per-user
settings. Also, implement rollback of SET commands that occur in a
transaction that later fails. Create a SET LOCAL var = value syntax
that sets the variable only for the duration of the current transaction.
All per previous discussions in pghackers.
is actively dangerous, per bug report from Ewald Geschwinde 14-May-02,
and several of the rest look suspicious to me. Since there is no longer
any significant value in retail pfree's in these functions, just get
rid of all of them for safety's sake.
underlying function; but cause psql's \do to show the underlying
function's comment if the operator has no comment of its own, to preserve
the useful functionality of the original behavior. Also, implement
COMMENT ON SCHEMA. Patch from Rod Taylor.
returns-set boolean field in Func and Oper nodes. This allows cleaner,
more reliable tests for expressions returning sets in the planner and
parser. For example, a WHERE clause returning a set is now detected
and complained of in the parser, not only at runtime.
some kibitzing from Tom Lane. Not everything works yet, and there's
no documentation or regression test, but let's commit this so Joe
doesn't need to cope with tracking changes in so many files ...
to reset session userid to the originally-authenticated name. Also,
relax SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION to allow specifying one's own username
even if one is not superuser, so as to avoid unnecessary error messages
when loading a pg_dump file that uses this command. Per discussion from
several months ago.
As proof of concept, provide an alternate implementation based on POSIX
semaphores. Also push the SysV shared-memory implementation into a
separate file so that it can be replaced conveniently.
handled as special productions. This is needed to keep us honest about
user-schema type names that happen to coincide with system type names.
Per pghackers discussion 24-Apr. To avoid bloating the keyword list
too much, I removed the translations for datetime, timespan, and lztext,
all of which were slated for destruction several versions back anyway.
in gram.y can make use of the keywords.c string table, instead of having
their own copies of the keyword strings. This saves a few kilobytes and
more importantly eliminates an opportunity for cut-and-paste errors.
in parse error messages, not just the part scanned by the last flex rule.
For example,
select "foo" "bar";
used to draw
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near """
which was rather unhelpful. Now it gives
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ""bar""
Also, error messages concerning bitstring literals and suchlike will
quote the source text at you, not the processed internal form of the literal.
lists to join RTEs, attach a list of Vars and COALESCE expressions that will
replace the join's alias variables during planning. This simplifies
flatten_join_alias_vars while still making it easy to fix up varno references
when transforming the query tree. Add regression test cases for interactions
of subqueries with outer joins.
