query representation. Note that GEQO_RELS setting is now interpreted
as the number of top-level items in the FROM list, not necessarily the
number of relations in the query. This seems appropriate since we are
only doing join-path searching over the top-level items.
There is still no effective difference but it will kick in once setuid
functions exist (not included here). Make old getpgusername() alias for
current_user.
ie, consider only the columns coming from the JOIN clause's sub-clauses.
Also detect attempts to reference columns belonging to other tables
(which would still be possible using an explicitly-qualified name).
I'm not sure this implements the spec's semantics 100% accurately, but
at least it gives plausible behavior.
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.
DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because
a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.
b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.
(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

- Use symbols for tests on relkind (ie. use RELKIND_VIEW, not 'v')
- Fix bug in support for -b option (== --blobs).
- Dump views as views (using 'create view').
- Remove 'isViewRule' since we check the relkind when getting tables.
- Now uses temp table 'pgdump_oid' rather than 'pg_dump_oid' (errors otherwise).
- Added extra param for specifying handling of OID=0 and which typename to output.
- Fixed bug in SQL scanner when SQL contained braces. (in rules)
- Use format_type function wherever possible
regression tests for specific types, and move a few others to the
cross-type "horology" test.
Rearrange the test order slightly, and move the abstime test to the
"parallel safe" area.
Hand-patch the results for "1947" and for "solaris", so those may not
be exactly correct.
one-line change necessary. Due to the Mark Holloman "New Relkind for
Views" patch, my support for views in the driver will need to be updated
to match. The change to DatabaseMetaData.getTableTypes[][] is as
follows:
- {"VIEW", "(relkind='r' and relhasrules='t' and relname !~
'^pg_' and relname !~ '^xinv')"},
+ {"VIEW", "(relkind='v' and relname !~ '^pg_' and relname
!~ '^xinv')"},

carefully avoided installing the translations file in a controlled

This is a patch which lets the DatabaseMetaData return the object type
when getTables(....) is called. It does not really fix any bug, but it
fills in some functionality that should be there anyway. The diff
included here is off of the CVS as of just now :)

for views. Views are now have a "relkind" of
RELKIND_VIEW instead of RELKIND_RELATION.
Also, views no longer have actual heap storage
files.
The following changes were made
1. CREATE VIEW sets the new relkind
2. The executor complains if a DELETE or
INSERT references a view.
3. DROP RULE complains if an attempt is made
to delete a view SELECT rule.
4. CREATE RULE "_RETmytable" AS ON SELECT TO mytable DO INSTEAD ...
1. checks to make sure mytable is empty.
2. sets the relkind to RELKIND_VIEW.
3. deletes the heap storage files.
5. LOCK myview is not allowed. :)
6. the regression test type_sanity was changed to
account for the new relkind value.
7. CREATE INDEX ON myview ... is not allowed.
8. VACUUM myview is not allowed.
VACUUM automatically skips views when do the entire
database.
9. TRUNCATE myview is not allowed.
THINGS LEFT TO THINK ABOUT
o pg_views
o pg_dump
o pgsql (\d \dv)
o Do we really want to be able to inherit from views?
o Is 'DROP TABLE myview' OK?

7.0.2 release. Sorry, if that's fixed ages ago - I don't track
development versions of PostgreSQL.
Patch is just a little bit tested (some valid functions created and
successfully run as well as some erroneous ones created and emitted proper
error messages when used).
My platform is FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT (with perl 5.6.0 provided in the
base system).

encountered while getting my reporting tool up and running with the
driver. All changes are in the DatabaseMetaData class.
Problem: The getDatabaseProductVersion() method was returning "6.5.2"
Resolution: Changed it to return "7.0.2"
Problem: A call to getTables() with an unsupported table type (in the
String array) resulted in a malformed SQL statement and subsequent
parsing error
Resolution: Unsupported table types are now ignored without error
Problem: In a getTables() call, tables and views were both returned by
the "TABLE" table type, and the "VIEW" table type was unsupported
Resolution: Changed the "TABLE" type to return only physical tables and
added support for the "VIEW" table type (returning only views)
Problem: The getIdentifierQuoteString() method was returning null
Resolution: This method now returns a double-quote

Here's the multibyte aware version of my patch to fix the truncation
of the rulename autogenerated during a CREATE VIEW. I've modified all
the places in the backend that want to construct the rulename to use
the MakeRetrieveViewRuleName(), where I put the #ifdef MULTIBYTE, so
that's the only place that knows how to construct a view rulename. Except
pg_dump, where I replicated the code, since it's a standalone binary.
The only effect the enduser will see is that views with names len(name)
> NAMEDATALEN-4 will fail to be created, if the derived rulename clases
with an existing rule: i.e. the user is trying to create two views with
long names whose first difference is past NAMEDATALEN-4 (but before
NAMEDATALEN: that'll error out after the viewname truncation.) In no
case will the user get left with a table without a view rule, as the
current code does.

The regression tests abstime, horology, int2, int4, and tinterval fail
by default. They will pass if comparison is made to one of the
variant expected/*.out files.
(A related problem is that the geometry test fails. This seems to be
just a matter of FP precision but more rigorous inspection is needed.
No existing expected/geometry-*.out variant matches.)

user is now defined in terms of the user id, the user name is only computed
upon request (for display purposes). This is kind of the opposite of the
previous state, which would maintain the user name and compute the user id
for permission checks.
Besides perhaps saving a few cycles (integer vs string), this now creates a
single point of attack for changing the user id during a connection, for
purposes of "setuid" functions, etc.
quote_ident(text) returns text
quote_literal(text) returns text
These are handy to build up properly quoted query strings
for the new PL/pgSQL EXECUTE functionality to submit
dynamic DDL statements.

- full support for IW (ISO week) and vice versa conversion for IW too
(the to_char 'week' support is now complete and I hope correct).
Thomas, I use for IW code from timestamp.c, for this I create separate
function date2isoweek() from original 'case DTK_WEEK:' code in the
timestamp_part(). I mean will better use one code for same feature in
date_part() and in to_char(). The isoweek2date() is added to timestamp.c
too. Right?
IMHO in 7.1 will all to_char's features complete. It is cca 41 templates
for date/time and cca 21 for numbers.
* to_ascii:
- gcc, is it correct now? :-)
In the patch is documentation for to_char's IW and for to_ascii().

didn't hear anything about, but which would
have broken with the function manager changes
anyway.
Well, this patch checks that a unique constraint
of some form (unique or pk) is on the referenced
columns of an FK constraint and that the columns
in the referencing table exist at creation time.
The former is to move closer to SQL compatibility
and the latter is in answer to a bug report.
I also added a basic check of this functionality
to the alter table and foreign key regression
tests.

incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print
instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that
users can continue building anyway.
virtual FDs, we just return the ENFILE/EMFILE error to the caller,
rather than immediate elog(). This allows more robust behavior in
the postmaster, which uses AllocateFile() but does not want elog().
length is < TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD, even with toastable column types
present. For example, CREATE TABLE foo (f1 int, f2 varchar(100))
does not require a toast table, even though varchar is a toastable
type.
pg_mb2wchar(const unsigned char *, pg_wchar *);
pg_mb2wchar_with_len(const unsigned char *, pg_wchar *, int);
from void to int. Now they return the number of
wide chars.
(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()
if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system.
A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there
is one.
for example, an SQL function can be used in a functional index. (I make
no promises about speed, but it'll work ;-).) Clean up and simplify
handling of functions returning sets.
right circumstances a hash join executed as a DECLARE CURSOR/FETCH
query would crash the backend. Problem as seen in current sources was
that the hash tables were stored in a context that was a child of
TransactionCommandContext, which got zapped at completion of the FETCH
command --- but cursor cleanup executed at COMMIT expected the tables
to still be valid. I haven't chased down the details as seen in 7.0.*
but I'm sure it's the same general problem.
pg_proc.c (where it's actually used). Fix it to correctly handle tlists
that contain resjunk target items, and improve error messages. This
addresses bug reported by Krupnikov 6-July-00.
macros where appropriate (the code used to have several different ways
of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...). Remove last few
references to float32 and float64 typedefs --- it's all float4/float8
now. The typedefs themselves should probably stay in c.h for a release
or two, though, to avoid breaking user-written C functions.
Update functions to new-style fmgr, make BIT and VARBIT be binary-
equivalent, add entries to allow these types to be btree indexed,
correct a few bugs. BIT/VARBIT are now toastable, too.
NOTE: initdb forced due to catalog updates.
right thing with variable-free clauses that contain noncachable functions,
such as 'WHERE random() < 0.5' --- these are evaluated once per
potential output tuple. Expressions that contain only Params are
now candidates to be indexscan quals --- for example, 'var = ($1 + 1)'
can now be indexed. Cope with RelabelType nodes atop potential indexscan
variables --- this oversight prevents 7.0.* from recognizing some
potentially indexscanable situations.
