node emits only those vars that are actually needed above it in the
plan tree. (There were comments in the code suggesting that this was
done at some point in the dim past, but for a long time we have just
made join nodes emit everything that either input emitted.) Aside from
being marginally more efficient, this fixes the problem noted by Peter
Eisentraut where a join above an IN-implemented-as-join might fail,
because the subplan targetlist constructed in the latter case didn't
meet the expectation of including everything.
Along the way, fix some places that were O(N^2) in the targetlist
length. This is not all the trouble spots for wide queries by any
means, but it's a step forward.
fixed amount of digits and not an allocated one. So we have to work
around. PostgreSQL numeric type remains the same.
- In INFORMIX_SE mode with autcommit set, make all cursors be "with
hold". Is this really they way SE behaves?
'scalar op ALL (array)', where the operator is applied between the
lefthand scalar and each element of the array. The operator must
yield boolean; the result of the construct is the OR or AND of the
per-element results, respectively.
Original coding by Joe Conway, after an idea of Peter's. Rewritten
by Tom to keep the implementation strictly separate from subqueries.
client-side AUTOCOMMIT mode now: '\set AUTOCOMMIT off' supports
SQL-spec commit behavior. Get rid of LO_TRANSACTION hack --- the
LO operations just work now, using libpq's ability to track the
transaction status. Add a VERBOSE variable to control verboseness
of error message display, and add a %T prompt-string code to show
current transaction-block status. Superuser state display in the
prompt string correctly follows SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands.
Control-C works to get out of COPY IN state.
comparison functions), replacing the highly bogus bitwise array_eq. Create
a btree index opclass for ANYARRAY --- it is now possible to create indexes
on array columns.
Arrange to cache the results of catalog lookups across multiple array
operations, instead of repeating the lookups on every call.
Add string_to_array and array_to_string functions.
Remove singleton_array, array_accum, array_assign, and array_subscript
functions, since these were for proof-of-concept and not intended to become
supported functions.
Minor adjustments to behavior in some corner cases with empty or
zero-dimensional arrays.

HH:MM:SS.SSS... when there is a nonzero part-of-a-day field in an
interval value. The seconds part used to be suppressed if zero,
but there's no equivalent behavior for timestamp, and since we're
modeling this format on timestamp it's probably wrong. Per complaint
and patch from Larry Rosenman.
This is no longer necessary or appropriate since we don't use zero typeid
as a wildcard anymore, and it fixes a nasty performance problem with
functions with many parameters. Per recent example from Reuven Lerner.
The attached fixes select_common_type() to support the below case:
create table t1( c1 int);
create domain dom_c1 int;
create table t2(c1 dom_c1);
select * from t1 join t2 using( c1 );
I didn't see a need for maintaining the domain as the preferred type. A
simple getBaseType() call on all elements of the list seems to be
enough.
