Joe Conway	4187adc631	Minor clarification of documentation regarding trailing whitespace.	22 years ago
Joe Conway	cb50ee286d	Tighened up syntax checking of array input processing considerably. Junk that ... was previously allowed in odd places with odd results now causes an ERROR. Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace -- trailing whitespace is now ignored as well as leading whitespace (which has always been ignored). Documentation updated to reflect change in whitespace handling. Also some refactoring to what I believe is a more sensible order of several paragraphs.	22 years ago
Joe Conway	0e13d627be	Require that array literals produce "rectangular" arrays, i.e. all the ... subarrays of a given dimension have the same number of elements/subarrays. Also repair a longstanding undocumented (as far as I can see) ability to explicitly set array bounds in the array literal syntax. It now can deal properly with negative array indicies. Modify array_out so that arrays with non-standard lower bounds (i.e. not 1) are output with the expicit dimension syntax. This fixes a longstanding issue whereby arrays with non-default lower bounds had them changed to default after a dump/reload cycle. Modify regression tests and docs to suit, and add some minimal documentation regarding the explicit dimension syntax.	22 years ago

Tom Lane	5bfb0540b0	Update docs for 7.4 array features and polymorphic functions. ... This is Joe Conway's patch of 7-Aug plus further editorializing of my own.	23 years ago
Tom Lane	b3c0551eda	Create real array comparison functions (that use the element datatype's ... 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. Joe Conway (with some editorializing by Tom Lane).	23 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	6f4a9fb119	Add User's Guide chapters on Data Definition and Data Manipulation. ... Still needs to be filled with more information, but it gives us a framework to have a User's Guide with complete coverage of the basic SQL operations. Move arrays into data type chapter, inheritance into DDL chapter (for now). Make <comment>s show up in the output while the version number ends in "devel".

Tom Lane	636a939fe5	Fix array_out's failure to backslash backslashes, per bug# 524. Also, ... remove brain-dead rule that double quotes are needed if and only if the datatype is pass-by-reference; neither direction of the implication holds water. Instead, examine the actual data string to see if it contains any characters that force us to quote it. Add some documentation about quoting of array values, which was previously explained nowhere AFAICT.	25 years ago
