Bruce Momjian 25146d3c29 Add support for NUMERIC ^ NUMERIC based on power(numeric, numeric). 2005-05-30 20:59:17 +00:00
Bruce Momjian a54c21a59c Wording improvement (may -> can) 2005-05-30 19:32:44 +00:00
Tom Lane ac25dbd84b Add support for FUNCTION RTEs to build_physical_tlist(), so that the
physical-tlist optimization can be applied to FunctionScan nodes as well
as regular tables and SubqueryScans.

Bruce Momjian 3e8dbc846c Support only octal for psql PROMPT values, rather than the confusing
hex/decimal/octal.  Documentation already updated.

BACKWARD COMPATIBLE CHANGE

Bruce Momjian 33294d57c7 Use {xqoctesc} lex macro now that \ddd is standard. 2005-05-30 16:48:47 +00:00
Bruce Momjian a2cce84349 Update psql docs for recent octal-only string behavior. 2005-05-30 15:24:23 +00:00
Bruce Momjian f13c132072 Have psql escape bytes in strings for variables follow the backend
conventions of only allowing octal, like \045.  Remove support for
\decimal, \0octal, and \0xhex which matches the strtol() function but
didn't make sense with backslashes.

These now return the same character:

	test=> \set x '\54'
	test=> \echo :x
	,
	test=> \set x '\054'
	test=> \echo :x
	,

THIS IS A BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY CHANGE.

Neil Conway adfeef55cb When enqueueing after-row triggers for updates of a table with a foreign
key, compare the new and old row versions. If the foreign key column has
not changed, we needn't enqueue the trigger, since the update cannot
violate the foreign key. This optimization was previously applied in the
RI trigger function, but it is more efficient to avoid firing the trigger
altogether. Per recent discussion on pgsql-hackers.

Also add a regression test for some unintuitive foreign key behavior, and
refactor some code that deals with the OIDs of the various RI trigger
functions.
2005-05-30 07:20:59 +00:00
Neil Conway f99b75b0a0 Create separate ON INSERT and ON UPDATE triggers on tables with foreign
keys, rather than a single trigger for both events. This should not change
functionality, but it is more consistent: previously, there were trigger
functions for both "check_insert" and "check_update", but the former was
used for both events.

Bump catalog version number (not strictly necessary, but best to be
cautious).

Tom Lane 0832fb74df Fix longstanding oversight in ruleutils.c: it doesn't regurgitate
a FOR UPDATE clause, if one is present.
2005-05-30 01:57:27 +00:00
Tom Lane cfd9be939e Change the UNKNOWN type to have an internal representation matching
cstring, rather than text, so as to eliminate useless conversions
inside the parser.  Per recent discussion.
2005-05-30 01:20:50 +00:00
Tom Lane c8f81df41b Skip eval_const_expressions when the query is such that the expression
would be evaluated only once anyway (ie, it's just a SELECT with no
FROM or an INSERT ... VALUES).  The planner can't do it any faster than
the executor, so no point in an extra copying of the expression tree.

Tom Lane 03a542ba63 Avoid unnecessary fetch from pg_shadow in the normal case in
pg_class_aclmask().  We only need to do this when we have to check
pg_shadow.usecatupd, and that's not relevant unless the target table
is a system catalog.  So we can usually avoid one syscache lookup.
2005-05-29 23:38:05 +00:00
Tom Lane 140b078d2a Improve LockAcquire API per my recent proposal. All error conditions
are now reported via elog, eliminating the need to test the result code
at most call sites.  Make it possible for the caller to distinguish a
freshly acquired lock from one already held in the current transaction.
Use that capability to avoid redundant AcceptInvalidationMessages() calls
in LockRelation().

Tom Lane 299c442077 Make superuser.c maintain a simple one-entry cache holding the superuser
status of the most recently queried userid.  Since the common pattern is
many successive queries about the same user (ie, the current user) this
can save a lot of syscache probes.
2005-05-29 20:38:06 +00:00
Tom Lane db86f29617 Marginal hack to save a little bit of time in bpcharin() when typmod is -1,
which is a common case.
2005-05-29 20:15:59 +00:00
Tom Lane 7cac50271d Avoid unnecessary call of rangeTableEntry_used() for the result relation
of a query.
2005-05-29 18:34:57 +00:00
Tom Lane d66daabec9 Remove typeidIsValid() checks in can_coerce_type(). These checks
were pretty expensive and I believe the case they were put in to
defend against can no longer arise, now that we have dependency checks
to prevent deletion of a type entry that is still referenced.  Certainly
the example given in the CVS log entry can't happen anymore.
Since this was the only use of typeidIsValid(), remove the routine too.

Tom Lane bbc048319f expandRTE and get_rte_attribute_type mistakenly always imputed typmod -1
to columns of an RTE that was a function returning RECORD with a column
definition list.  Apparently no one has tried to use non-default typmod
with a function returning RECORD before.

Tom Lane e92a88272e Modify hash_search() API to prevent future occurrences of the error
spotted by Qingqing Zhou.  The HASH_ENTER action now automatically
fails with elog(ERROR) on out-of-memory --- which incidentally lets
us eliminate duplicate error checks in quite a bunch of places.  If
you really need the old return-NULL-on-out-of-memory behavior, you
can ask for HASH_ENTER_NULL.  But there is now an Assert in that path
checking that you aren't hoping to get that behavior in a palloc-based
hash table.
Along the way, remove the old HASH_FIND_SAVE/HASH_REMOVE_SAVED actions,
which were not being used anywhere anymore, and were surely too ugly
and unsafe to want to see revived again.

Bruce Momjian ecd70d7526 Add reference to libpq environment variables for client applications. 2005-05-29 03:32:18 +00:00
Tom Lane f8a051604f Bgwriter should PANIC if it runs out of memory for pending-fsyncs
hash table.  This is a pretty unlikely scenario, since the table
should be tiny, but we can't guarantee continued correct operation
if it does occur.  Spotted by Qingqing Zhou.

Tom Lane 6d9ee03148 get_expr_result_type has to be prepared to pull type information
from a RECORD Const node, because that's what it may be faced with
after constant-folding of a function returning RECORD.  Per example
from Michael Fuhr.

Tom Lane 32e8fc4a28 Arrange to cache fmgr lookup information for an index's access method
routines in the index's relcache entry, instead of doing a fresh fmgr_info
on every index access.  We were already doing this for the index's opclass
support functions; not sure why we didn't think to do it for the AM
functions too.  This supersedes the former method of caching (only)
amgettuple in indexscan scan descriptors; it's an improvement because the
function lookup can be amortized across multiple statements instead of
being repeated for each statement.  Even though lookup for builtin
functions is pretty cheap, this seems to drop a percent or two off some
simple benchmarks.

Bruce Momjian d4b50caf25 Display only 9 subsecond digits instead of 10 for time values, for

Display only 9 not 10 digits of precision for timestamp values when

correctly, style fixes.

Neil Conway 63e0d612f5 Adjust datetime parsing to be more robust. We now pass the length of the
working buffer into ParseDateTime() and reject too-long input there,
rather than checking the length of the input string before calling
ParseDateTime(). The old method was bogus because ParseDateTime() can use
a variable amount of working space, depending on the content of the
input string (e.g. how many fields need to be NUL terminated). This fixes
a minor stack overrun -- I don't _think_ it's exploitable, although I
won't claim to be an expert.

Along the way, fix a bug reported by Mark Dilger: the working buffer
allocated by interval_in() was too short, which resulted in rejecting
some perfectly valid interval input values. I added a regression test for
this fix.

Tom Lane 15e4d1e2a7 Tweak the backend scanner (and psqlscan.l, which must track the backend
scanner anyway) to avoid having any backup states.  According to the
flex manual, this should speed things up, and indeed the backend scanner
is about a third faster according to some quick profiling checks.
I haven't tried to measure the speed change in psql, but it probably
is similar.

Bruce Momjian 8c792fe9cb At the head of wchareq, length of (multibyte) character is compared by
using pg_mblen. Therefore, pg_mblen is executed many times, and it
becomes a bottleneck.

This patch makes a short cut, and reduces execution frequency of
pg_mblen by comparing the first byte first.

Bruce Momjian bbb586ff21 Quick patch to adress a recent concern on the mailing list
about adding an errant "TO" when we already have a TO. Since
TO cannot be a valid column name (we must quote it), we can
simply ignore the tab-completion if the previous word
was a "TO".
