Tom Lane f2ef470196 Update discussion of floating-point problems in regression tests. 2002-11-08 20:26:12 +00:00
Bruce Momjian bea4792125 This patch removes a bunch of superfluous #include directives: if
postgres.h or c.h includes a system header (such as stdio.h or
stdlib.h), there's no need to specifically include it in any of the .c
files in the backend.

Bruce Momjian a5715eecb6 Clean up format of SQL. 2002-11-08 20:22:12 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 4c1383efd1 The attached patch defines functions for getting distances between
points on the surface of the earth and locating points within a
specified distance using an index based on the contrib/cube package. The
new functions are all of language type sql. A couple of bugs in the old
earthdistance function based on the point datatype are fixed. A
regression test has been added for both sets of functions. The README
file has been updated to include documentation on the new stuff. There
are comments about how this package is also useful for Astronomers.

Tom Lane 337f73b1bb Revise geometry regression testing to eliminate most cross-platform
variation.  To do this, set extra_float_digits to -3 in the geometry
test, and tweak the CIRCLE_TBL dataset to avoid values that suffer
from severe cancellation error (eg, circles that just touch an axis).
We still need two geometry 'expected' files to account for the
difference between platforms that display minus zero as '-0' and those
that just say '0', but with luck that's all we'll need.

Bruce Momjian b26dfbb0e3 Here is a patch that does just that, while maintaining the
"traditional" behavior, so the change should be transparent. Use the
command "\pset pager always" to turn it on. Anything else does the
normal toggle between "on" and "off"

Tom Lane c2b716ab68 Replace imprecise value of PI with a better one, and tweak circle_poly
in hopes of reducing platform-to-platform variations in its results.
This will cause the geometry regression test to start failing on some
platforms.  I plan to update the test later today.

Tom Lane d2c744aa56 Add extra_float_digits GUC parameter to allow adjustment of displayed
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.

Bruce Momjian fef731d1c4 The "Allow easy display of usernames in a group (pg_hba.conf uses groups
now)" item on the open items, and subsequent plpgsql function I sent in,
made me realize it was too hard to get the upper and lower bound of an
array. The attached creates two functions that I think will be very
useful when combined with the ability of plpgsql to return sets.

array_lower(array, dim_num)
- and -
array_upper(array, dim_num)

They return the value (as an int) of the upper and lower bound of the
requested dim in the provided array.

Bruce Momjian 02608cbce6 I'm using libpgtcl with PostgreSQL-7.2.3. There is a discrepancy between
the documentation and behavior of "pg_result $res -oid" when $res is not
from an INSERT.  The documentation says it should return an empty
string, but in fact it returns 0. I think it used to return an empty
string around PostgreSQL-7.1.3 when PQoidStatus() was used, but now it
uses PQoidValue() which returns InvalidOid, 0 in this case.

Assuming the current behavior is desired, here is a patch to the
documentation doc/src/sgml/libpgtcl.sgml to match what really happens:

Tom Lane b02d3aaed7 Move substitute extern declarations to end of file, so that they are
not read until after we've read the port-specific header file.  In
particular this should make it safer to #include system headers for
inet_aton; in general it seems that the port header file ought to be
in a position to set definitions before we do stuff based on having
a definition or not.

Bruce Momjian 308910d00f None. 2002-11-06 05:13:02 +00:00
Tom Lane f6dba10e62 First phase of implementing hash-based grouping/aggregation. An AGG plan
node now does its own grouping of the input rows, and has no need for a
preceding GROUP node in the plan pipeline.  This allows elimination of
the misnamed tuplePerGroup option for GROUP, and actually saves more code
in nodeGroup.c than it costs in nodeAgg.c, as well as being presumably
faster.  Restructure the API of query_planner so that we do not commit to
using a sorted or unsorted plan in query_planner; instead grouping_planner
makes the decision.  (Right now it isn't any smarter than query_planner
was, but that will change as soon as it has the option to select a hash-
based aggregation step.)  Despite all the hackery, no initdb needed since
only in-memory node types changed.

Barry Lind fdf6b4ff93 Applied two patches from Kris Jurka.
- First fixes a problem with a recent patch allowing setNull on updateable
    resultsets
  - Second removed toLower() calls on database object names.  Leave it to
    the caller to correctly pass lower, upper or mixed case.  The driver
    already has methods that the caller can use to determine that postgres
    stores identifiers in lowercase. (unless the identifier was quoted when
    created).
