Alvaro Herrera cec3b0a9e6 Implement DROP OWNED and REASSIGN OWNED. These new commands facilitate the
process of dropping roles by dropping objects owned by them and privileges
granted to them, or giving the owned objects to someone else, through the
use of the data stored in the new pg_shdepend catalog.

Some refactoring of the GRANT/REVOKE code was needed, as well as ALTER OWNER
code.  Further cleanup of code duplication in the GRANT code seems necessary.

Implemented by me after an idea from Tom Lane, who also provided various kind
of implementation advice.

Regression tests pass.  Some tests for the new functionality are also added,
as well as rudimentary documentation.

Teodor Sigaev c52795d18a Text parser rewritten:
- supports multibyte encodings
        - more strict rules for lexemes
        - flex isn't used
Add:
        - tsquery plainto_tsquery(text)
          Function makes tsquery from plain text.
        - &&, ||, !! operation for tsquery for combining
          tsquery from it's parts:  'foo & bar' || 'asd' => 'foo & bar | asd'

Tom Lane b91e6ed93e Clean up after DROP IF EXISTS patch. 2005-11-20 23:24:12 +00:00
Tom Lane dd218ae7b0 Remove the t_datamcxt field of HeapTupleData. This was introduced for
the convenience of tuptoaster.c and is no longer needed, so may as well
get rid of some small amount of overhead.
2005-11-20 19:49:08 +00:00
Tom Lane 40314f2dac Modify tuptoaster's API so that it does not try to modify the passed
tuple in-place, but instead passes back an all-new tuple structure if
any changes are needed.  This is a much cleaner and more robust solution
for the bug discovered by Alexey Beschiokov; accordingly, revert the
quick hack I installed yesterday.
With this change, HeapTupleData.t_datamcxt is no longer needed; will
remove it in a separate commit in HEAD only.
2005-11-20 18:38:20 +00:00
Tom Lane 33a9af738d Stopgap solution for problem reported by Alexey Beschiokov: after
doing heap_insert or heap_update, wipe out any extracted fields in
the TupleTableSlot containing the tuple, because they might not be valid
anymore if tuptoaster.c changed the tuple.  Safe because slot must be
in the materialized state, but mighty ugly --- find a better answer!

Tom Lane 659f681638 Change array comparison rules to consider dimensionality information,
not only the array contents, before claiming two arrays are equal.

Tom Lane 8ef289dba1 Defend against nulls-in-arrays in contrib/intarray. I may have put in
more tests than strictly necessary, but did not feel like tracing call
paths in detail ...
2005-11-19 03:00:09 +00:00
Tom Lane 25c00833cb Add defenses against nulls-in-arrays to contrib/ltree. Possibly it'd
be useful to actually do something with nulls, rather than reject them,
but I'll just close the hole for now.
2005-11-19 02:08:45 +00:00
Tom Lane 1e9a1a70ad Change array_push and array_cat so that they retain the lower bound of
the array (for array_push) or higher-dimensional array (for array_cat)
rather than decrementing it as before.  This avoids generating lower
bounds other than one for any array operation within the SQL spec.  Per
recent discussion.
Interestingly, this seems to have been the original behavior, because
while updating the docs I noticed that a large fraction of relevant
examples were *wrong* for the old behavior and are now right.  Is it
worth correcting this in the back-branch docs?

Tom Lane 8685c47223 Fix performance issue in exprTypmod(): for a COALESCE expression, it
recursed twice on its first argument, leading to exponential time spent
on a deep nest of COALESCEs ... such as a deeply nested FULL JOIN would
produce.  Per report from Matt Carter.

Andrew Dunstan b7a9e3ceb4 make psql honor explicit database parameter in -l mode, in case "postgres" database is missing - per complaint from Philip Yarra. 2005-11-17 23:42:26 +00:00
Tom Lane cecb607559 Make SQL arrays support null elements. This commit fixes the core array
functionality, but I still need to make another pass looking at places
that incidentally use arrays (such as ACL manipulation) to make sure they
are null-safe.  Contrib needs work too.
I have not changed the behaviors that are still under discussion about
array comparison and what to do with lower bounds.

Tom Lane c859308aba DropRelFileNodeBuffers failed to fix the state of the lookup hash table
that was added to localbuf.c in 8.1; therefore, applying it to a temp table
left corrupt lookup state in memory.  The only case where this had a
significant chance of causing problems was an ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS temp
table; the other possible paths left bogus state that was unlikely to
be used again.  Per report from Csaba Nagy.

Bruce Momjian 01798a06b9 Add batch mode, make new libpq section:

< * Add PQescapeIdentifier() to libpq
< * Prevent PQfnumber() from lowercasing unquoted the column name
<
<   PQfnumber() should never have been doing lowercasing, but historically
<   it has so we need a way to prevent it

Bruce Momjian 62fb1d6028 Prevent certain symbols that are used for both typedefs and variable
names from being added to pgindent's typedef list.  The existance of
them caused weird formatting in the date/type files, and in keywords.c.

Backpatch to 8.1.X.

Bruce Momjian 02c43ffbec Fix recent problems with BSD indent, including indenting past 80
columns, shifting comment to the right when more than 150 'else if'
clauses were used, and update typedefs for 8.1.X.

NetBSD patched updated, with documentation.
2005-11-15 00:43:01 +00:00
Tom Lane 1bdf124b94 Restore the former RestrictInfo field valid_everywhere (but invert the flag
sense and rename to "outerjoin_delayed" to more clearly reflect what it
means).  I had decided that it was redundant in 8.1, but the folly of this
is exposed by a bug report from Sebastian Böck.  The place where it's
needed is to prevent orindxpath.c from cherry-picking arms of an outer-join
OR clause to form a relation restriction that isn't actually legal to push
down to the relation scan level.  There may be some legal cases that this
forbids optimizing, but we'd need much closer analysis to determine it.

Tom Lane 76ce39e386 Prevent ExecInsert() and ExecUpdate() from scribbling on the result tuple
slot of the topmost plan node when a trigger returns a modified tuple.
These appear to be the only places where a plan node's caller did not
treat the result slot as read-only, which is an assumption that nodeUnique
makes as of 8.1.  Fixes trigger-vs-DISTINCT bug reported by Frank van Vugt.

Tom Lane b31eeadcab Force the second argument of SUBSTRING(foo FOR bar) to be int4, to avoid
surprising results when it's some other numeric type.  This doesn't solve
the generic problem of surprising implicit casts to text, but it's a
low-impact way of making sure this particular case behaves sanely.
Per gripe from Harald Fuchs and subsequent discussion.
