DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax adds an 'ON tablename' clause,
similar to TRIGGER syntaxes. To allow loading of existing pg_dump
files containing COMMENT ON RULE, the COMMENT code will still accept
the old syntax --- but only if the target rulename is unique across
the whole database.
an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass. Nothing is done with it at
present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which
suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.
qualified operator names directly, for example CREATE OPERATOR myschema.+
( ... ). To qualify an operator name in an expression you need to write
OPERATOR(myschema.+) (thanks to Peter for suggesting an escape hatch).
I also took advantage of having to reformat pg_operator to fix something
that'd been bugging me for a while: mergejoinable operators should have
explicit links to the associated cross-data-type comparison operators,
rather than hardwiring an assumption that they are named < and >.
path. The default behavior if no per-user schemas are created is that
all users share a 'public' namespace, thus providing behavior backwards
compatible with 7.2 and earlier releases. Probably the semantics and
default setting will need to be fine-tuned, but this is a start.
addRangeTableEntry calls. Remove relname field from RTEs, since
it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations;
we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead.
Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema
names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible
command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command.
No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field
from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs
- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]
Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];
Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.
Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().
Some documentation differences from earlier.
If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests. I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.
CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes. FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly. Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().

o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.
(current as of a few hours ago.)
This patch:
1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines.
2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only
necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to
assume chunks are returned in order).
3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now
handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance
improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the
beginning of the string.
4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET
STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in
alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage
mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!).
All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column.
4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and
handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to
distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other
code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this
patch.(I plan to return to it separately).
5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in
xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER
COLUMN SET STORAGE.

now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
bpchar, bit, numeric with typmod -1. Alter format_type so that this
representation is printed when the typmod is -1. This ensures that
tables having such columns can be pg_dump'd and reloaded correctly.
Also, remove the rather useless and non-SQL-compliant default
precision and scale for type NUMERIC. A numeric column declared as
such (with no precision/scale) will now have typmod -1 which means
that numeric values of any precision/scale can be stored in it,
without conversion to a uniform scale. This seems significantly
more useful than the former behavior. Part of response to bug #513.
though alas not as unquoted function names. De-reserve a bunch of
keywords that could have been in ColId rather than ColLabel all along.
Per recent proposal in pgsql-patches.
to the target list in gram.y; it must wait till after expansion of the
target list in analyze.c. Per bug report 4-Nov:
lx=# CREATE TABLE abc (a char, b char, c char);
CREATE
lx=# CREATE TABLE xyz (x, y, z) AS SELECT * FROM abc;
ERROR: CREATE TABLE/AS SELECT has mismatched column count
Mask both typmod subfields for INTERVAL to avoid setting the high bit,
per dire warning from Tom Lane.
Clear tmask for DTK_ISO_TIME case to avoid time zone troubles.
Symptom reported by Tom Lane.
Clean up checking for valid time zone info in output routine.
This should now work for both SQL99 and Unix-style time zones.
Put in explicit check for INTERVAL() typmod rounding to avoid accumulating
cruft in the lower bits. Not sure that this helps, but we'll need to do
something. The symptom is visible with a query like
select interval(2) '10000 days 01:02:03.040506';
Regression tests are patched to repair the Tom Lane symptom, and all pass.
Modified the parser and the SET handlers to use full Node structures
rather than simply a character string argument.
Implement INTERVAL() YEAR TO MONTH (etc) syntax per SQL99.
Does not yet accept the goofy string format that goes along with, but
this should be fairly straight forward to fix now as a bug or later
as a feature.
Implement precision for the INTERVAL() type.
Use the typmod mechanism for both of INTERVAL features.
Fix the INTERVAL syntax in the parser:
opt_interval was in the wrong place.
INTERVAL is now a reserved word, otherwise we get reduce/reduce errors.
Implement an explicit date_part() function for TIMETZ.
Should fix coersion problem with INTERVAL reported by Peter E.
Fix up some error messages for date/time types.
Use all caps for type names within message.
Fix recently introduced side-effect bug disabling 'epoch' as a recognized
field for date_part() etc. Reported by Peter E. (??)
Bump catalog version number.
Rename "microseconds" current transaction time field
from ...Msec to ...Usec. Duh!
date/time regression tests updated for reference platform, but a few
changes will be necessary for others.
current_timestamp, current_date for ODBC compatibility.
Add more functions to odbc.sql catalog extension, use new CREATE OR
REPLACE FUNCTION.
Document iODBC/unixODBC build options.
'aggname (aggtype)'. The old syntax 'aggname aggtype' is still accepted
for backwards compatibility. Fix pg_dump, which was actually broken for
most cases of user-defined aggregates. Clean up error messages associated
with these commands.
time zones.
SQL99 spec requires a default of zero (round to seconds) which is set
in gram.y as typmod is set in the parse tree. We *could* change to a
default of either 6 (for internal compatibility with previous versions)
or 2 (for external compatibility with previous versions).
Evaluate entries in pg_proc wrt the iscachable attribute for timestamp and
other date/time types. Try to recognize cases where side effects like the
current time zone setting may have an effect on results to decide whether
something is cachable or not.
