Tom Lane 4bdb4be62e Divide functions into three volatility classes (immutable, stable, and 
volatile), rather than the old cachable/noncachable distinction.  This
allows indexscan optimizations in many places where we formerly didn't.
Also, add a pronamespace column to pg_proc (it doesn't do anything yet,
however).

Tom Lane 789ddcb5fe Add tgconstrrelid to stored Trigger structures, make RI trigger functions 
depend on this rather than the trigger argument strings to locate the
other relation to test.  This makes RI triggers function properly in
the presence of schemas and temp tables.  Along the way, fix bogus lack
of locking in RI triggers, handle quoting of names fully correctly,
compute required sizes of query buffers with some semblance of accuracy.

Tom Lane 9b77f61930 ALTER TABLE SET/DROP NOT NULL, from Christopher Kings-Lynne. 2002-04-01 04:35:40 +00:00
Tom Lane 838fe25a95 Create a new GUC variable search_path to control the namespace search 
path.  The default behavior if no per-user schemas are created is that
all users share a 'public' namespace, thus providing behavior backwards
compatible with 7.2 and earlier releases.  Probably the semantics and
default setting will need to be fine-tuned, but this is a start.

Tom Lane d5e99ab4d6 pg_type has a typnamespace column; system now supports creating types 
in different namespaces.  Also, cleanup work on relation namespace
support: drop, alter, rename commands work for tables in non-default
namespaces.

Tom Lane 1dbf8aa7a8 pg_class has a relnamespace column. You can create and access tables 
in schemas other than the system namespace; however, there's no search
path yet, and not all operations work yet on tables outside the system
namespace.

Peter Eisentraut b6ea172ace Spell checking and markup additions 2002-03-22 19:20:45 +00:00
Tom Lane 95ef6a3448 First phase of SCHEMA changes, concentrating on fixing the grammar and 
the parsetree representation.  As yet we don't *do* anything with schema
names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible
command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command.
No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field
from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.

Sorry Bruce, I was unclear. I have attached patch to Readme.tsearch

 2002-03-06 20:42:38 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 01c76f7411 Ok. Updated patch attached. 
- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs

- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]

Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];

Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.

Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().

Some documentation differences from earlier.

If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests.  I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.


CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes.  FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly.  Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().

Bruce Momjian 03194432de I attach a version of my toast-slicing patch, against current CVS 
(current as of a few hours ago.)

This patch:

1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines.

2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only
necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to
assume chunks are returned in order).

3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now
handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance
improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the
beginning of the string.

4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET
STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in
alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage
mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!).
All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column.

4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and
handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to
distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other
code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this
patch.(I plan to return to it separately).

5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in
xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER
COLUMN SET STORAGE.

Bruce Momjian a033daf566 Commit to match discussed elog() changes. Only update is that LOG is 
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages.  Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10

Bruce Momjian bf4507e3af I think it's important that it's actually documented that they can add 
primary keys after the fact!

Also, we need to add regression tests for alter table / add primary key
and alter table / drop constraint.  These shouldn't be added until 7.3
tho
methinks...

change should be backwards-compatible.  Per pghackers discussion.
Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
more completely and accurately.
