Tom Lane	5bb2300b59	Revise handling of oldstyle/newstyle functions per recent discussions in pghackers list. Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone (no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry 'internal' now implies newstyle call convention. pg_language entry 'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions are now called language 'C'. A newstyle function must be identified by an associated info routine. See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	ebd61ac03f	Remove -k unix socketpath option from client side, allow hostname with leading slash to behave as a unix socket path.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	2150c2edf1	UUNET is looking into offering PostgreSQL as a part of a managed web hosting product, on both shared and dedicated machines. We currently offer Oracle and MySQL, and it would be a nice middle-ground. However, as shipped, PostgreSQL lacks the following features we need that MySQL has: 1. The ability to listen only on a particular IP address. Each hosting customer has their own IP address, on which all of their servers (http, ftp, real media, etc.) run. 2. The ability to place the Unix-domain socket in a mode 700 directory. This allows us to automatically create an empty database, with an empty DBA password, for new or upgrading customers without having to interactively set a DBA password and communicate it to (or from) the customer. This in turn cuts down our install and upgrade times. 3. The ability to connect to the Unix-domain socket from within a change-rooted environment. We run CGI programs chrooted to the user's home directory, which is another reason why we need to be able to specify where the Unix-domain socket is, instead of /tmp. 4. The ability to, if run as root, open a pid file in /var/run as root, and then setuid to the desired user. (mysqld -u can almost do this; I had to patch it, too). The patch below fixes problem 1-3. I plan to address #4, also, but haven't done so yet. These diffs are big enough that they should give the PG development team something to think about in the meantime :-) Also, I'm about to leave for 2 weeks' vacation, so I thought I'd get out what I have, which works (for the problems it tackles), now. With these changes, we can set up and run PostgreSQL with scripts the same way we can with apache or proftpd or mysql. In summary, this patch makes the following enhancements: 1. Adds an environment variable PGUNIXSOCKET, analogous to MYSQL_UNIX_PORT, and command line options -k --unix-socket to the relevant programs. 2. Adds a -h option to postmaster to set the hostname or IP address to listen on instead of the default INADDR_ANY. 3. Extends some library interfaces to support the above. 4. Fixes a few memory leaks in PQconnectdb(). The default behavior is unchanged from stock 7.0.2; if you don't use any of these new features, they don't change the operation. David J.

Peter Eisentraut	8095924bdd	Make sure shell scripts send error messages to stderr. Improve help output. Teach droplang to remove 'pltclu'.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	6f64c2e54a	New unified regression test driver, test/regress makefile cleanup, add "check" and "installcheck" targets, straighten out make variable naming of host_os, host_cpu, etc.	26 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	da06bc1d40	Make building scripts kind of consistent in look and feel, kind of immune to parallel make, kind of resistent to corruption due to incomplete builds.	26 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	a67343d67d	Substitute libdir into createlang as last resort so one doesn't have to set PGLIB or use any option anymore.	26 years ago
Jan Wieck	79e6648649	Added untrusted PL/TclU (pltclu) language. Executes all procedures in a non-safe interpreter, so with full OS access! Language is restricted to be used by DB superusers. Added "argisnull n" and "return_null" commands to gain full control over NULL values from new FMGR capabilities. Jan	26 years ago
Tom Lane	0a7fb4e918	First round of changes for new fmgr interface. fmgr itself and the key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle. An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions). NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.	26 years ago

Bruce Momjian	52831da26c	Fix createlang -l dbname so it works, update sgml.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	e4739e7029	Old patch from Mark Hollomon to add plperl to createlang's repertoire. Seems to have slipped through the cracks.	26 years ago
Thomas G. Lockhart	6456810078	Implement column aliases on views "CREATE VIEW name (collist)". Implement TIME WITH TIME ZONE type (timetz internal type). Remap length() for character strings to CHAR_LENGTH() for SQL92 and to remove the ambiguity with geometric length() functions. Keep length() for character strings for backward compatibility. Shrink stored views by removing internal column name list from visible rte. Implement min(), max() for time and timetz data types. Implement conversion of TIME to INTERVAL. Implement abs(), mod(), fac() for the int8 data type. Rename some math functions to generic names: round(), sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), etc. Rename NUMERIC power() function to pow(). Fix int2 factorial to calculate result in int4. Enhance the Oracle compatibility function translate() to work with string arguments (from Edwin Ramirez). Modify pg_proc system table to remove OID holes.	26 years ago

Bruce Momjian	5ca971a18a	Hi, I sending promised patch with: * getopt_long() - for pg_dump (portable) * and "Usage: " changes in scripts in src/bin/ - this changes are cosmetic only, not change any feature ...etc. All PostgreSQL routines (scripts) support now long options and help's output is alike for all scripts and all support -? or --help.

Bruce Momjian	a0aab48fcd	Okay, that should put us back in sync. These two patches (src & doc) are against the sources from one hour ago and contain all the portable and up to date stuff. A few other CVS "householding" things you might want to take care of: * Remove the src/bin/cleardbdir directory * Remove the file src/bin/psql/sql_help.h from the repository, as it is a derived file and is build by the release_prep. Peter Eisentraut	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	ed62104ea9	I cleaned those out as well (the echo -n "bug" was in there ;) and moved them into the scripts dir. I also added a --list option to show already installed languages. This whole moving and renaming totally confused CVS and my checked out copy got completely fried last night. When you apply the source patch, please make sure that all the directories src/bin/{create\|destroy}* as well as vacuumdb, cleardbdir are gone and that all the scripts (7) are in scripts/. Meanwhile I am still puzzled about what happened with the docs patch. Because I don't know what you got now, the second attachment contains the files ref/allfiles.sgml ref/commands.sgml ref/createlang.sgml ref/droplang.sgml doc/src/sgml/Makefile Peter Eisentraut Sernanders väg 10:115	26 years ago
