Simplify SubLink by storing just a List of operator OIDs, instead of
a list of incomplete OpExprs --- that was a bizarre and bulky choice,
with no redeeming social value since we have to build new OpExprs
anyway when forming the plan tree.
'NOT (x IN (subselect))', that is 'NOT (x = ANY (subselect))',
rather than 'x <> ALL (subselect)' as we formerly did. This
opens the door to optimizing NOT IN the same way as IN, whereas
there's no hope of optimizing the expression using <>. Also,
convert 'x <> ALL (subselect)' to the NOT(IN) style, so that
the optimization will be available when processing rules dumped
by older Postgres versions.
initdb forced due to small change in SubLink node representation.
causes interval rounding not to work as expected in 7.3, for example
SELECT '18:17:15.6'::interval(0) does not round the value.
I did not force initdb, but one is needed to install the added row.
the index AM when we know we are fetching a unique row. However, this
logic did not consider the possibility that it would be asked to fetch
backwards. Also fix mark/restore to work correctly in this scenario.
beginning/end of cursor.
Have MOVE return 0/1 depending on cursor position.
Matches SQL spec.
Pass cursor counter from parser as a long rather than int.
Doc updates.
computation: reduce the bucket number mod nbatch. This changes the
association between original bucket numbers and batches, but that
doesn't matter. Minor other cleanups in hashjoin code to help
centralize decisions.
allocation in best_inner_indexscan(). While at it, simplify GEQO's
interface to the main planner --- make_join_rel() offers exactly the
API it really wants, whereas calling make_rels_by_clause_joins() and
make_rels_by_clauseless_joins() required jumping through hoops.
Rewrite gimme_tree for clarity (sometimes iteration is much better than
recursion), and approximately halve GEQO's runtime by recognizing that
tours of the forms (a,b,c,d,...) and (b,a,c,d,...) are equivalent
because of symmetry in make_join_rel().
disallowed by CREATE TABLE (eg, pseudo-types); also disallow these types
from being introduced by the range-function syntax. While at it, allow
CREATE TABLE to create zero-column tables, per recent pghackers discussion.
I am back-patching this into 7.3 since failure to disallow pseudo-types
is arguably a security hole.
practice of evaluating MemSet's arguments multiple times, except for
the special case of newNode(), where we can assume the argument is
a constant sizeof() operator.
Also, add GetMemoryChunkContext() to mcxt.c's API, in preparation for
fixing recent GEQO breakage.
given any malloc block until something is first allocated in it; but
thereafter, MemoryContextReset won't release that first malloc block.
This preserves the quick-reset property of the original policy, without
forcing 8K to be allocated to every context whether any of it is ever
used or not. Also, remove some more no-longer-needed explicit freeing
during ExecEndPlan.
a per-query memory context created by CreateExecutorState --- and destroyed
by FreeExecutorState. This provides a final solution to the longstanding
problem of memory leaked by various ExecEndNode calls.
in the planned representation of a subplan at all any more, only SubPlan.
This means subselect.c doesn't scribble on its input anymore, which seems
like a good thing; and there are no longer three different possible
interpretations of a SubLink. Simplify node naming and improve comments
in primnodes.h. No change to stored rules, though.
execution state trees, and ExecEvalExpr takes an expression state tree
not an expression plan tree. The plan tree is now read-only as far as
the executor is concerned. Next step is to begin actually exploiting
this property.
* Add schema, cast, and conversion backslash commands to psql
I had to create a new publically available function,
pg_conversion_is_visible, as it seemed to be missing from the catalogs.
This required me to do no small amount of hacking around in namespace.c
I have updated the \? help and sgml docs.
\dc - list conversions [PATTERN]
\dC - list casts
\dn list schemas
I didn't support patterns with casts as there's nothing obvious to match
against.
Catalog version incremented --- initdb required.

make VALUE a non-reserved word again, use less invasive method of passing
ConstraintTestValue into transformExpr, fix problems with nested constraint
testing, do correct thing with NULL result from a constraint expression,
remove memory leak. Domain checks still need much more work if we are going
to allow ALTER DOMAIN, however.
so that all executable expression nodes inherit from a common supertype
Expr. This is somewhat of an exercise in code purity rather than any
real functional advance, but getting rid of the extra Oper or Func node
formerly used in each operator or function call should provide at least
a little space and speed improvement.
initdb forced by changes in stored-rules representation.
documentation and regression test mods. It seemed small and unobtrusive enough
to not require a specific proposal on the hackers list -- but if not, let me
know and I'll make a pitch. Otherwise, if there are no objections please apply.

postgresql version 7.3, but yea... this patch adds full IPv6
support to postgres. I've tested it out on 7.2.3 and has
been running perfectly stable.

to plan nodes, not vice-versa. All executor state nodes now inherit from
struct PlanState. Copying of plan trees has been simplified by not
storing a list of SubPlans in Plan nodes (eliminating duplicate links).
The executor still needs such a list, but it can build it during
ExecutorStart since it has to scan the plan tree anyway.
No initdb forced since no stored-on-disk structures changed, but you
will need a full recompile because of node-numbering changes.
