  • d27a566583 Remove mention of INSTANCE rule system, because it is gone. Bruce Momjian 2000-04-07 17:23:11 +00:00
  • a349733bbb Add transcendental math functions (sine, cosine, etc) Add a random number generator and seed setter (random(), SET SEED) Fix up the interval*float8 math to carry partial months into the time field. Add float8*interval so we have symmetry in the available math. Fix the parser and define.c to accept SQL92 types as field arguments. Fix the parser to accept SQL92 types for CREATE TYPE, etc. This is necessary to allow... Bit/varbit support in contrib/bit cleaned up to compile and load cleanly. Still needs some work before final release. Implement the "SOME" keyword as a synonym for "ANY" per SQL92. Implement ascii(text), ichar(int4), repeat(text,int4) to help support the ODBC driver. Enable the TRUNCATE() function mapping in the ODBC driver. Thomas G. Lockhart 2000-04-07 13:40:45 +00:00

  • e4d8d43c52 Fix (I hope) resource leakage in EvalPlanQual: open subplans must be properly shut down in EndPlan, else we fail to free buffers and so forth that they hold. Tom Lane 2000-04-07 00:59:17 +00:00
  • 891039c15f Partial fix for EvalPlanQual bugs reported by Magnus Hagander, 3-Apr. Ensure that outer tuple link needed for inner indexscan qual evaluation gets set in the EvalPlanQual case. This stops coredump, but we still have resource leaks due to failure to clean up EvalPlanQual properly... Tom Lane 2000-04-07 00:30:41 +00:00

  • 5240c76729 Actually, that still wasn't quite right. If we skip a query because of xact abort state in pg_exec_query_dest, we should continue scanning the querytree list, on the off chance that one of the later queries in the string is COMMIT or ROLLBACK. Tom Lane 2000-04-04 23:52:50 +00:00
  • 708f82f191 Fix bug noted by Bruce: FETCH in an already-aborted transaction block would crash, due to premature invocation of SetQuerySnapshot(). Clean up problems with handling of multiple queries by splitting pg_parse_and_plan into two routines. The old code would not, for example, do the right thing with END; SELECT... submitted in one query string when it had been in transaction abort state, because it'd decide to skip planning the SELECT before it had executed the END. New arrangement is simpler and doesn't force caller to plan if only parse+rewrite is needed. Tom Lane 2000-04-04 21:44:40 +00:00

  • 7fbf0af22b When rewriting an aggregate introduced into WHERE, allow agg argument to be an expression not just a simple Var, so long as only one table is referenced (so that code isn't really any more difficult than before). This whole thing is still fundamentally bogus, but at least we can accept a few more cases than before. Tom Lane 2000-04-04 02:30:52 +00:00
  • 2ae6e86302 For no good reason at all, libplpgsql was getting linked with libpq. Since plpgsql is a backend extension, it doesn't need libpq... Tom Lane 2000-04-04 01:47:59 +00:00
  • 1c72a8a37a Fix extremely nasty little bug observed when a sub-SELECT appears in WHERE in a place where it can be part of a nestloop inner indexqual. As the code stood, it put the same physical sub-Plan node into both indxqual and indxqualorig of the IndexScan plan node. That confused later processing in the optimizer (which expected that tracing the subPlan list would visit each subplan node exactly once), and would probably have blown up in the executor if the planner hadn't choked first. Fix by making the 'fixed' indexqual be a complete deep copy of the original indexqual, rather than trying to share nodes below the topmost operator node. This had further ramifications though, because we were making the aforesaid list of sub-Plan nodes during SS_process_sublinks which is run before construction of the 'fixed' indexqual, meaning that the copy of the sub-Plan didn't show up in that list. Fix by rearranging logic so that the sub-Plan list is built by the final set_plan_references pass, not in SS_process_sublinks. This may sound like a mess, but it's actually a good deal cleaner now than it was before, because we are no longer dependent on the assumption that planning will never make a copy of a sub-Plan node.

  • 8cdabf0741 Augment the function call map logic with code from Tom Lane. Should be more robust to overflows. Pass through an unmapped function unchanged, rather than rejecting it. Add a few more functions, but comment out those which can go through as-is. Can be used with contrib/odbc/ package, though that isn't committed yet. Thomas G. Lockhart 2000-04-04 01:07:54 +00:00

  • 14bc951d30 Fix low-probability bug in relcache startup: write_irels wrote the pg_internal.init file in-place, which meant that if another backend started at about the same time, it might read the incomplete file. init_irels tries to guard against that, but I have now seen a crash due to reading bad data from a partly-written file. (This may indicate a kernel bug on my platform? Not sure.) Anyway, clearly the safest course is to write the new pg_internal.init file under a unique temporary filename, and rename it into place only after it's all written.

  • ac70c3547b I have tested the beta3 on WinNT and here are the results: - I was unable to compile ecpg due to the ":=" instead of "=" in defining LIBPQDIR and some other variables in Makefile.global.in - pg_id (and also pg_encoding) executable was not removed during "make clean" - there was no $(X) appended to the executable name for rm - I have added result for int2, int4, float8 and geometry regression tests - int2, int2 - yet another message for too large numbers ;-) - float8 - it is problably a bug in the newlib C library - it has no error message for numbers with exponent -400 - geometry - differences in precision of float numbers - I have added appropriate lines into resultmap file - I have modified the script regress.sh to use "case" statement when testing the hostname. For cygwin the script is called with "i686-pc-cygwin" (on my machine) as a parameter and this was not catched with the "if" statement. The check was done for PORTNAME (win) and not HOSTNAME (i.86-pc-cygwin*). Bruce Momjian 2000-03-31 14:14:36 +00:00

  • fa02af8f8b Update alpha templates as suggested by SL Baur and Adriaan Joubert. Make similar changes to hpux templates. Might want to do the same for other foo_cc and foo_gcc pairs, but will desist until I hear from someone who uses those platforms. Tom Lane 2000-03-31 05:03:39 +00:00

  • ca05ba2a9d Get rid of SetBufferWriteMode(), which was an accident waiting to happen. In the event of an elog() while the mode was set to immediate write, there was no way for it to be set back to the normal delayed write. The mechanism was a waste of space and cycles anyway, since the only user was varsup.c, which could perfectly well call FlushBuffer directly. Now it does just that, and the notion of a write mode is gone. Tom Lane 2000-03-31 02:43:31 +00:00
