corrects flex myinput() routine so that it doesn't assume there is only
one bufferload of data. We still have the issue of getting rid of
YY_USES_REJECT so that the scanner can cope with tokens larger than its
initial buffer size.
last loop which would return the *first* surviving-to-that-point candidate
regardless of which one actually passed the test. This was producing
such curious results as 'oid % 2' getting translated to 'int2(oid) % 2'.
documented intepretation of the lefthand and oper fields. Fix a number of
obscure problems while at it --- for example, the old code failed if the parser
decided to insert a type-coercion function just below the operator of a
SubLink.
CAUTION: this will break stored rules that contain subplans. You may
need to initdb.
match then it tried for a self-commutative operator with the reversed input
data types. This is pretty silly; there could never be such an operator,
except maybe in binary-compatible-type scenarios, and we have oper_inexact
for that. Besides which, the oprsanity regress test would complain about
such an operator. Remove nonfunctional code and simplify routine calling
convention accordingly.
and fix_opids processing to a single recursive pass over the plan tree
executed at the very tail end of planning, rather than haphazardly here
and there at different places. Now that tlist Vars do not get modified
until the very end, it's possible to get rid of the klugy var_equal and
match_varid partial-matching routines, and just use plain equal()
throughout the optimizer. This is a step towards allowing merge and
hash joins to be done on expressions instead of only Vars ...
sort order down into planner, instead of handling it only at the very top
level of the planner. This fixes many things. An explicit sort is now
avoided if there is a cheaper alternative (typically an indexscan) not
only for ORDER BY, but also for the internal sort of GROUP BY. It works
even when there is no other reason (such as a WHERE condition) to consider
the indexscan. It works for indexes on functions. It works for indexes
on functions, backwards. It's just so cool...
CAUTION: I have changed the representation of SortClause nodes, therefore
THIS UPDATE BREAKS STORED RULES. You will need to initdb.
optimizer rather than parser. This has many advantages, such as not
getting fooled by chance uses of operator names ~ and ~~ (the operators
are identified by OID now), and not creating useless comparison operations
in contexts where the comparisons will not actually be used as indexquals.
The new code also recognizes exact-match LIKE and regex patterns, and
produces an = indexqual instead of >= and <=.
This change does NOT fix the problem with non-ASCII locales: the code
still doesn't know how to generate an upper bound indexqual for non-ASCII
collation order. But it's no worse than before, just the same deficiency
in a different place...
Also, dike out loc_restrictinfo fields in Plan nodes. These were doing
nothing useful in the absence of 'expensive functions' optimization,
and they took a considerable amount of processing to fill in.
support, but which the grammar was accepting. Also, fix several bugs
having to do with failure to copy fields up from a subselect to a select
or insert node.
of the SELECT part of the statement is just like a plain SELECT. All
INSERT-specific processing happens after the SELECT parsing is done.
This eliminates many problems, e.g. INSERT ... SELECT ... GROUP BY using
the wrong column labels. Ensure that DEFAULT clauses are coerced to
the target column type, whether or not stored clause produces the right
type. Substantial cleanup of parser's array support.
creates a reduce/reduce conflict, which I resolved by changing the
'AexprConst -> Typename Sconst' rule to 'AexprConst -> SimpleTypename Sconst'.
In other words, a subscripted type declaration can't be used in that
syntax any longer. This seems a small price to pay for not having to
qualify subscripted columns anymore.
Other cleanups: rename res_target_list to update_target_list, and remove
productions for variants that are not legal in an UPDATE target list;
rename res_target_list2 to plain target_list; delete position_expr
in favor of using b_expr in that production; merge opt_indirection
into attr nonterminal, since there are no places where an unsubscripted
attr is wanted; fix typos in Param support; change case_arg so that
an arbitrary a_expr is allowed, not only a column name.
is parse_aggs.c. This fixes its failure to cope with (at least) CaseExpr
and ArrayRef nodes, which is the reason why both of these fail in 6.5:
select coalesce(f1,0) from int4_tbl group by f1;
ERROR: Illegal use of aggregates or non-group column in target list
select sentence.words[0] from sentence group by sentence.words[0];
ERROR: Illegal use of aggregates or non-group column in target list
The array case still fails, but at least it's not parse_agg's fault
anymore ... considering that we now support CASE officially, I think
it's important to fix the first example ...
a non-leading % would be put into the >=/<= patterns. Also, repair
longstanding confusion about whether %% means a literal %%. The SQL92
doesn't say any such thing, and textlike() knows that, but gram.y didn't.
aggregate functions, as in
select a, b from foo group by a;
The ungrouped reference to b is not kosher, but formerly we neglected to
check this unless there was an aggregate function somewhere in the query.
SelectStmt and CursorStmt tried to parse FOR UPDATE ... / FOR READ ONLY.
Cursor now checks that it is read only by looking at forUpdate of Query.
SelectStmt handles FOR READ ONLY too.

will pass through rather than spitting up. This is necessary to handle
cases where coerce_type causes a subexpression to be retransformed, as in
SELECT count(*) + 1.0 FROM table
