Tom Lane cab9437a43 Arrange to compile flex output files as inclusions into other files
(usually bison output files), not as standalone files.  This hack
works around flex's insistence on including <stdio.h> before we are
able to include postgres.h; postgres.h will already be read before
the compiler starts to read the flex output file.  Needed for largefile
support on some platforms.

Bruce Momjian b825a8f025 When I removed the cube based stuff from eathdistance I accidentally
left a reference to cube in a comment in the regression test (that also
shows up in the expected output). This doesn't cause any real problem,
but people who read the comment might be confused. Attached is a diff to
remove the reference.

Bruce Momjian 0215dc9b0f Well, this patch makes Makefile for contrib/rserv use the
contrib/contrib-global.mk library and _generally_ behave like
   Makefiles for other contrib modules.
   Besides it fixes Perl's interpolation of $libdir variable, which
   should be passed to backend instead. This patch is done against
   PostgreSQL 7.3b2

   Besides, I want to thank Peter Eisentraut for his very friendly and
   helpful attitude and politely ask him to check whether contrib
   modules actually continue to work after he implements another
   major change to their build process.

Good point. Thank you Masaru for the suggested fix.

Attached is a patch to fix the bug found by Masaru. His example now
produces:

regression=# SELECT * FROM connectby('connectby_tree', 'keyid',
'parent_keyid', '11', 0, '-') AS t(keyid int, parent_keyid int, level
int,
branch text);
  keyid | parent_keyid | level |  branch

-------+--------------+-------+----------
     11 |              |     0 | 11
     10 |           11 |     1 | 11-10
    111 |           11 |     1 | 11-111
      1 |          111 |     2 | 11-111-1
(4 rows)

While making the patch I also realized that the "no show branch" form of
the  function was not going to work very well for recursion detection.
Therefore  there is now a default branch delimiter ('~') that is used
internally, for  that case, to enable recursion detection to work. If
you need a different  delimiter for your specific data, you will have to
use the "show branch" form  of the function.

Bruce Momjian e57ab04565 This is a comprehensive set of diffs (versus current CVS) that replaces those
attached to the same message with the Earth Distance patches.
Recent changes include changing the subscript in one place I forgot
in the previous bugfix patch. A couple of added regression tests, which
should help catch this mistake if it reappears.
I also put in a limit of 100 dimensions in cube_large and cube_in to
prevent making it easy to create very large cubes. Changing one define
in cubedata.h will raise the limit if some needs more dimensions.

The attached patch fixes the infinite recursion bug in
contrib/tablefunc/tablefunc.c:connectby found by Masaru Sugawara.

'parent_keyid', '2', 4, '~') AS t(keyid int, parent_keyid int, level

I implemented it by checking the branch string for repeated keys
(whether or not the branch is returned). The performance hit was pretty
minimal -- about 1% for a moderately complex test case (220000 record
table, 9 level tree with 3800 members).

Bruce Momjian 5dd74c0f21 The attached small patch fixes the cause of the regression test failure

configure might not work at all.

Bruce Momjian a12b4e279b I checked all the previous string handling errors and most of them were
already fixed by You. However there were a few left and attached patch
should fix the rest of them.

I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug
ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all
the other code does.

I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing
snprintf(buf, 2 * BUFSIZE, ... style lines to
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array.

Bruce Momjian 6aa4482f2f Attached is an update to contrib/tablefunc. It introduces a new
function, connectby(), which can serve as a reference implementation for

the changes made in the last few days -- namely the ability of a
function to return an entire tuplestore, and the ability of a function
to make use of the query provided "expected" tuple description.

Description:

   connectby(text relname, text keyid_fld, text parent_keyid_fld,
     text start_with, int max_depth [, text branch_delim])
   - returns keyid, parent_keyid, level, and an optional branch string
   - requires anonymous composite type syntax in the FROM clause. See
     the instructions in the documentation below.

header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place).  Don't try to
clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there.  Don't

of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which

Tom Lane 64505ed58b Code review for standalone composite types, query-specified composite
types, SRFs.  Not happy with memory management yet, but I'll commit these
other changes.

Tom Lane 5cabcfccce Modify array operations to include array's element type OID in the
array header, and to compute sizing and alignment of array elements
the same way normal tuple access operations do --- viz, using the
tupmacs.h macros att_addlength and att_align.  This makes the world
safe for arrays of cstrings or intervals, and should make it much
easier to write array-type-polymorphic functions; as examples see
the cleanups of array_out and contrib/array_iterator.  By Joe Conway
and Tom Lane.

Tom Lane b663f3443b Add a bunch of pseudo-types to replace the behavior formerly associated
with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion.  I still want to do some
more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk
of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...

Bruce Momjian 66eb8df6a4 The attached patch changes most of the usages of sprintf() to
snprintf() in contrib/. I didn't touch the places where pointer
arithmatic was being used, or other areas where the fix wasn't
trivial. I would think that few, if any, of the usages of sprintf()
were actually exploitable, but it's probably better to be paranoid...

Bruce Momjian 45e2544584 As discussed on several occasions previously, the new anonymous
composite type capability makes it possible to create a system view
based on a table function in a way that is hopefully palatable to
everyone. The attached patch takes advantage of this, moving
show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc into the backend (renamed
all_settings(). It is defined as a builtin returning type RECORD. During
initdb a system view is created to expose the same information presently
available through SHOW ALL. For example:

test=# select * from pg_settings where name like '%debug%';
          name          | setting
-----------------------+---------
  debug_assertions      | on
  debug_pretty_print    | off
  debug_print_parse     | off
  debug_print_plan      | off
  debug_print_query     | off
  debug_print_rewritten | off
  wal_debug             | 0
(7 rows)


Additionally during initdb two rules are created which make it possible
to change settings by updating the system view -- a "virtual table" as
Tom put it. Here's an example:
