ago.

Tom Lane d2db166c75 Require superuser privilege to create a binary-compatible cast, per
discussion some weeks ago.  Also, add a check that two types to be
binary-equivalenced match as to typlen, typbyval, and typalign; if
they don't then it's surely a mistake to equivalence them.

Bruce Momjian 04287daa83 Add wording so people know PANIC is really "off" for log_min_error_statement. 2002-10-03 02:26:49 +00:00
Tom Lane 71e74a2f58 Re-enable pg_resetxlog to accept -l values in hexadecimal (it used to
be able to do that, but the ability seems to have got lost in the
shuffle).  Add a -o nextOID switch for completeness.  Improve the
documentation to explain how and why to use these switches.

Bruce Momjian 909a8377db The valid return value should be MODIFY instead of MODIFIED.
The error message said so :-)

In 25.3. Using PL/Python

        If the trigger "when" is BEFORE, you may return None or "OK"
        from the Python function to indicate the tuple is unmodified, "SKIP"
        to abort the event, or "MODIFIED" to indicate you've modified the tuple.

Tom Lane 634e440b58 Fix busted markup. 2002-09-22 18:47:24 +00:00
Tom Lane 9946b83ded Bring SIMILAR TO and SUBSTRING into some semblance of conformance with
the SQL99 standard.  (I'm not sure that the character-class features are
quite right, but that can be fixed later.)  Document SQL99 and POSIX
regexps as being different features; provide variants of SUBSTRING for
each.

Tom Lane eb3adab568 Provide an upgrade strategy for dump files containing functions declared
with OPAQUE.  CREATE LANGUAGE, CREATE TRIGGER, and CREATE TYPE will all
accept references to functions declared with OPAQUE --- but they will
issue a NOTICE, and will modify the function entries in pg_proc to have
the preferred type-safe argument or result types instead of OPAQUE.
Per recent pghackers discussions.

Bruce Momjian 674818dce8 This patch corrects a minor mis-statement in the CREATE DOMAIN docs,
pointed out by Chris KL on -hackers a little while ago -- NOT NULL !=
CHECK xxx IS NOT NULL.

Tom Lane b26dfb9522 Extend pg_cast castimplicit column to a three-way value; this allows us
to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in
operator/function resolution.  Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy
for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8).
Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or
numeric (never float8 anymore).
Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came
from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do
reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics.
Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without
raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without
any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3.
This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be
reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have
no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation).
Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements;
it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example.
Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the
specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were
missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types).
Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8.
initdb forced.
