Tom Lane fb55fa0478 Remove obsolete note about pg_vlock lock file. 1999-11-28 02:17:43 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 78bc83fedf * Includes tab completion. It's not magic, but it's very cool. At any
rate
  it's better than what used to be there.

* Does proper SQL "host variable" substitution as pointed out by Andreas
  Zeugwetter (thanks): select * from :foo; Also some changes in how ':'
  and ';' are treated (escape with \ to send to backend). This does
_not_
  affect the '::' cast operator, but perhaps others that contain : or ;
  (but there are none right now).

* To show description with a <something> listing, append '?' to command
  name, e.g., \df?. This seemed to be the convenient and logical
solution.
  Or append a '+' to see more useless information, e.g., \df+.

* Fixed fflush()'ing bug pointed out by Jan during the regression test
  discussion.

* Added LastOid variable. This ought to take care of TODO item "Add a
  function to return the last inserted oid, for use in psql scripts"
  (under CLIENTS)
  E.g.,
insert into foo values(...);
insert into bar values(..., :LastOid);
\echo $LastOid

* \d command shows constraints, rules, and triggers defined on the table
  (in addition to indices)

* Various fixes, optimizations, corrections

* Documentation update as well


Note: This now requires snprintf(), which, if necessary, is taken from
src/backend/port. This is certainly a little weird, but it should
suffice
until a source tree cleanup is done.

Enjoy.

Bruce Momjian 9394d62c73 I have been working with user defined types and user defined c
functions.  One problem that I have encountered with the function
manager is that it does not allow the user to define type conversion
functions that convert between user types. For instance if mytype1,
mytype2, and mytype3 are three Postgresql user types, and if I wish to
define Postgresql conversion functions like

I run into problems, because the Postgresql dynamic loader would look
for a single link symbol, mytype3, for both pieces of object code.  If
I just change the name of one of the Postgresql functions (to make the
symbols distinct), the automatic type conversion that Postgresql uses,
for example, when matching operators to arguments no longer finds the
type conversion function.

The solution that I propose, and have implemented in the attatched
patch extends the CREATE FUNCTION syntax as follows. In the first case
above I use the link symbol mytype2_to_mytype3 for the link object
that implements the first conversion function, and define the
Postgresql operator with the following syntax

The patch includes changes to the parser to include the altered
syntax, changes to the ProcedureStmt node in nodes/parsenodes.h,
changes to commands/define.c to handle the extra information in the AS
clause, and changes to utils/fmgr/dfmgr.c that alter the way that the
dynamic loader figures out what link symbol to use.  I store the
string for the link symbol in the prosrc text attribute of the pg_proc
table which is currently unused in rows that reference dynamically
loaded
functions.

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 ...

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.

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.

Bruce Momjian 289a826dab Here is a new version of my patch for allowing pg_dump to DROP schema
elements prior to CREATEing new ones.  It is under control of the -c
command line option (with the default being status quo).

The DROP TRIGGER portion still needs implementation.  Anyone able to
help clarify what exactly the CREATE TRIGGER portion does so I can fix
this?

Again, I have tried this with tables/indexes/sequences, but do not
have other schema elements in my database.  As a result, I am not 100%
convinced that I got the syntax correct in all cases (but think I did,
nonetheless).  If anyone can check the other cases, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,
Brook

[I added manual page and sgml additions for the new -c option.]
