now. Here some tested features, (examples included in the patch):
1.1) Subselects in the having clause 1.2) Double nested subselects
1.3) Subselects used in the where clause and in the having clause
simultaneously 1.4) Union Selects using having 1.5) Indexes
on the base relations are used correctly 1.6) Unallowed Queries
are prevented (e.g. qualifications in the
having clause that belong to the where clause) 1.7) Insert
into as select
2) Queries using the having clause on view relations also work
but there are some restrictions:
2.1) Create View as Select ... Having ...; using base tables in
the select 2.1.1) The Query rewrite system:
2.1.2) Why are only simple queries allowed against a view from 2.1)
? 2.2) Select ... from testview1, testview2, ... having...; 3) Bug
in ExecMergeJoin ??

sequential scans! (I think it will also work with hash, index, etc
but I did not check it out! I made some High level changes which
should work for all access methods, but maybe I'm wrong. Please
let me know.)
Now it is possible to make queries like:
select s.sname, max(p.pid), min(p.pid) from part p, supplier s
where s.sid=p.sid group by s.sname having max(pid)=6 and min(pid)=1
or avg(pid)=4;
Having does not work yet for queries that contain a subselect
statement in the Having clause, I'll try to fix this in the next
days.
If there are some bugs, please let me know, I'll start to read the
mailinglists now!
Now here is the patch against the original 6.3 version (no snapshot!!):
Stefan
ExecReScan for nodeAgg, nodeHash, nodeHashjoin, nodeNestloop and nodeResult.
Fixed ExecReScan for nodeMaterial.
Get rid of #ifdef INDEXSCAN_PATCH.
Get rid of ExecMarkPos and ExecRestrPos in nodeNestloop.

One of the design rules of PostgreSQL is extensibility. And
to follow this rule means (at least for me) that there should
not only be a builtin PL. Instead I would prefer a defined
interface for PL implemetations.
Pass List* of Aggregs into executor, and create needed array there.
No longer need to double-processs Aggregs with second copy in Query.
Fix crash when doing:
select sum(x+1) from test where 1 > 0;
Subject: [HACKERS] Aggregate function patches
Here are the aggregate function patches I originally sent in last December.
They fix sum() and avg() behavior for ints and floats when NULL values are
involved.
I was waiting to resubmit these until I had a chance to write a v6.0->v6.1
database upgrade script to ensure that existing v6.0 databases which have
not been reloaded for v6.1 do no break with the new aggregate behavior.
These scripts are included below. It's OK with me if someone wants to do
something different with the upgrade strategy, but something like this
was discussed a few weeks ago.
Also, there were a couple of small items which cropped up in doing a clean
install of 970403 (actually 970402 + 970403 changes since the full 970403
tar file appears to be damaged or at least suspect). They are the first
two patches below and can be omitted if desired (although I think they
aren't dangerous :).
It's bug in nodeAgg.c on lines 241, 242:
null_array = malloc(nagg);
for (i=0;i<nagg;i++)
null_array[i] = 'n';
oneTuple = heap_formtuple(tupType, tupValue, null_array);
- your query has not only aggregates but also 'group by-ed' fields and so
null_array should contain tupType->natts elements (tupType->natts > nagg in
your case).
Patch follows and it's very simple.
