find_my_exec/find_other_exec(). Remove passing of progname to these
functions as they can find that out from argv[0], which they already
have.
Make get_progname return const char *, and update all progname variables
to be const char *.
conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.
is measured in kilobytes and checked against actual physical execution
stack depth, as per my proposal of 30-Dec. This gives us a fairly
bulletproof defense against crashing due to runaway recursive functions.
listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion. The default behavior
is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i
postmaster switch in many scenarios.

Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints
use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit.
Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their
old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.
little more sane. Some parts of the code was using a static function
xmalloc() that did safe memory allocation (where "safe" means "bail
out on OOM"), but most of it was just invoking calloc() or malloc()
directly. Now almost everything invokes xmalloc() or xcalloc().
proposal for eventually deprecating OIDs on user tables that I posted
earlier to pgsql-hackers. pg_dump now always specifies WITH OIDS or
WITHOUT OIDS when dumping a table. The documentation has been updated.

offered for completion only when the input-so-far is at least 'pg_'.
This seems to be the best compromise behavior emerging from yesterday's
discussion. While at it, refactor code to eliminate repetitive use of
nearly identical queries, which was exceedingly tedious to maintain.
Also const-ify code more thoroughly in hopes of moving constant data into
text segment, and remove unnecessary length limit on queries.
"schema." has been typed. This allows readline to complete subsequent
characters immediately if all relations in the target schema start with
the same prefix. This actually worked before, but I unintentionally
broke it a few days ago.
Also, make completion schema-aware for GRANT, REVOKE, VACUUM.
up by quotes or backslashes in words that are being matched to database
names (per gripe from Ian Barwick, though I didn't use his patch).
Also fix possible memory leakage if _complete_with_query isn't run to
completion (not clear if that can happen or not, but be safe).
sequence every time it's called is bogus --- it interferes with user
control over the seed, and actually decreases randomness overall
(because a seed based on time(NULL) is pretty predictable). If you really
want a reproducible result from geqo, do 'set seed = 0' before planning
a query.
heuristic determination of day vs month in date/time input. Add the
ability to specify that input is interpreted as yy-mm-dd order (which
formerly worked, but only for yy greater than 31). DateStyle's input
component now has the preferred spellings DMY, MDY, or YMD; the older
keywords European and US are now aliases for the first two of these.
Per recent discussions on pgsql-general.
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON. Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.
The first cleans up a couple of minor errors and ommissions
and adds tab completion support to more slash commands, e.g.
\dv.
The second is an attempt to add tab completion for schemas
and fully qualified relation names (e.g. public.mytable ).
I think this covers the TODO-item:
"Allow psql to do table completion for SELECT * FROM schema_part and table
completion for SELECT * FROM schema_name."
This happens via union selects querying:
- relation_name in current search path;
- schema_name;
- schema.relation_name
matching the current input string.
E.g:
SELECT p[TAB]
will produce a list of all appropriate relation names in the current search
path which begin with 'p', and also all schema names which begin with 'p';
\d pub[TAB]
will produce any relation names in the current search path and also
any schema names beginning with 'pub';
\d public.[TAB]
will produce a list of all relations in the schema 'public';
\d public.my[TAB]
produces all relation names beginning with 'my' in schema 'public'.
It seems to work for me; comments, suggestions, particularly regarding
the coding and queries, are very welcome.
Note that tables, indexes, views and sequences relations in the
'pg_catalog' namespace are excluded even though they are in
the current search path. I found not doing this produced annoying behaviour
when expanding names beginning with 'p'. People who work with system
tables a lot may not like this though; I can look for another solution
if necessary.
Ian Barwick
expression accepted by the regex operators, per discussion yesterday.
Along the way, reduce deadlock_timeout from PGC_POSTMASTER to PGC_SIGHUP
category. It is probably best to insist that all backends share the same
setting, but that doesn't mean it has to be frozen at startup.
necessarily following the JOIN syntax to develop the query plan. The old
behavior is still available by setting GUC variable JOIN_COLLAPSE_LIMIT
to 1. Also create a GUC variable FROM_COLLAPSE_LIMIT to control the
similar decision about when to collapse sub-SELECT lists into their parent
lists. (This behavior existed already, but the limit was always
GEQO_THRESHOLD/2; now it's separately adjustable.)
completion. Note that it's based on 7.3 tarball, not CVS HEAD, or 7.3rel
branch. Damn, looking at CVS, this will patch into 7.3rel (just tested,
it does) probably collide with Rod Taylor's patch adding ALTER TRIGGER
stuff. O.K, second patch attached against HEAD - not tested, hand
merged.

Add ORDER BY clauses to a bunch of regression test queries that will
otherwise produce randomly-ordered output in the new regime.
Add simple ALTER DATABASE, ALTER TRIGGER, CHECK POINT, CREATE

Add many more SET / SHOW variables to the list. Taken from SHOW ALL

Complete a case sensitive search to allow \dD, \dd, \dS, \ds, \h, \H to
complete properly. But there are no matches, then try a case
insensitive search to allow case conversion. Add all missing help
options.

precision for float4, float8, and geometric types. Set it in pg_dump
so that float data can be dumped/reloaded exactly (at least on platforms
where the float I/O support is properly implemented). Initial patch by
Pedro Ferreira, some additional work by Tom Lane.
to false provides more SQL-spec-compliant behavior than we had before.
I am not sure that setting it false is actually a good idea yet; there
is a lot of client-side code that will probably be broken by turning
autocommit off. But it's a start.
Loosely based on a patch by David Van Wie.
