like the core parser's code. In particular, track locations at the character rather than line level during parsing, allowing many more parse-time error conditions to be reported with precise error pointers rather than just "near line N". Also, exploit the fact that we no longer need to substitute $N for variable references by making extracted SQL queries and expressions be exact copies of subranges of the function text, rather than having random whitespace changes within them. This makes it possible to directly map parse error positions from the core parser onto positions in the function text, which lets us report them without the previous kluge of showing the intermediate internal-query form. (Later it might be good to do that for core parse-analysis errors too, but this patch is just touching plpgsql's lexer/parser, not what happens at runtime.) In passing, make plpgsql's lexer use palloc not malloc. These changes make plpgsql's parse-time error reports noticeably nicer (as illustrated by the regression test changes), and will also simplify the planned removal of plpgsql's separate lexer by reducing the impedance mismatch between what it does and what the core lexer does. |

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
