Tom Lane e945246321 Fix ARRAY[] construct so that in multidimensional case, elements can
be anything yielding an array of the proper kind, not only sub-ARRAY[]
constructs; do subscript checking at runtime not parse time.  Also,
adjust array_cat to make array || array comply with the SQL99 spec.

Tom Lane de9c553f6b Clean up locktable init code per recent gripe from Kurt Roeckx.
No change in behavior, but old code would have failed to detect
overrun of MAX_LOCKMODES.

Tom Lane c771838106 Somebody forgot to include any actual documentation for ADD_MISSING_FROM. 2003-08-17 22:19:15 +00:00
Tom Lane 4215947986 Update documentation to reflect the fact that ORDER BY, GROUP BY, etc
are now driven by the default btree opclass, rather than assuming that
particular operator names have the needed semantics.

Tom Lane ec646dbc65 Create a 'type cache' that keeps track of the data needed for any particular
datatype by array_eq and array_cmp; use this to solve problems with memory
leaks in array indexing support.  The parser's equality_oper and ordering_oper
routines also use the cache.  Change the operator search algorithms to look
for appropriate btree or hash index opclasses, instead of assuming operators
named '<' or '=' have the right semantics.  (ORDER BY ASC/DESC now also look
at opclasses, instead of assuming '<' and '>' are the right things.)  Add
several more index opclasses so that there is no regression in functionality
for base datatypes.  initdb forced due to catalog additions.

Bruce Momjian a9f9a97906 I almost forgot mark in docs "to_char(interval)" as deprecated function.
This useless routine will removed in 7.5. It's already discussed (see
hackers list archive).

Bruce Momjian 41477b9a83 This patch makes two minor fixes to the docs: (1) fixes a
spelling mistake in the PREPARE ref page (2) Makes some
English more consistent, in the ref pages for some of the
client apps (3) Adds a link to the libpq docs in the
vacuumdb ref page.

Bruce Momjian e7f266e5fe There is a misstatement in the CLOSE reference page, now that we
have cursors that might outlive their creating transactions. A
patch is attached that fixes this (suggestions on better wording
are welcome).

Bruce Momjian 2326ade600 I just noticed that the sample pg_hba.conf in the docs doesn't contain
any use of CIDR masks - here's a patch that adds  a couple of  sample
lines and associated comments.

Bruce Momjian f7d9aa8fbf The attached patch adds some clarification to the documentation of the
binary format read/created by COPY BINARY. It also mentions the
contrib/binarycopy module.

Bruce Momjian d4be99f63d (I always forget what the magic numbers 0 through 2 means for the
"syslog" option.)

By the way: The "virtual_host" parameter is a bad name for that
particular option, I think. "Virtual host" signals that PostgreSQL will
behave differently according to which IP address it's contacted (like
Apache's virtual host support which makes the web-server serve different
sites according to different criteria). A better word for the options
would be "tcpip_listen_addr" or something like that.

Tom Lane 432ca9116b Rewrite array_cmp to not depend on deconstruct_array. Should be a little
faster, but more importantly does not leak memory.  Still needs more work
though, per my recent note to pgsql-hackers.

Tom Lane c01641f8ae libpq failed to cope with COPY FROM STDIN if the command was issued
via extended query protocol, because it sends Sync right after Execute
without realizing that the command to be executed is COPY.  There seems
to be no reasonable way for it to realize that, either, so the best fix
seems to be to make the backend ignore Sync during copy-in mode.  Bit of
a wart on the protocol, but little alternative.  Also, libpq must send
another Sync after terminating the COPY, if the command was issued via
Execute.
2003-08-13 18:56:21 +00:00
Tom Lane 0be731ad44 Add PQexecPrepared() and PQsendQueryPrepared() functions, to allow
libpq users to perform Bind/Execute of previously prepared statements.
Per yesterday's discussion, this offers enough performance improvement
to justify bending the 'no new features during beta' rule.

Tom Lane 5be44fa453 Move MemoryContextCheck() call from bottom of PostgresMain loop to
just before CommitTransactionCommand().  This is a more sensible place
to put it since commit discards a lot of contexts, and we'd not find
out about stomps affecting only transaction-local contexts.

Bruce Momjian c090b053fe I'm quite fond of doing VPATH builds, i.e. building outside the source
tree. This also catches lots of little Makefile bugs, so here's a small
patch for one of them (replacing an explicit reference to thread.c with
a reference to it as the first prerequsite of the rule makes make look
for it in the place where it was found (the source tree) rather than in
the build tree. (using GNU make 3.79.1)

Tom Lane 9234591071 Include 'IPv4', 'IPv6', or 'Unix' in socket-creation failure messages,
in hopes of soothing fears of those with partial IPv6 support.  Still an
open question whether we should report EAFNOSUPPORT errors at all,
though.
