His example now produces: regression=# SELECT * FROM connectby('connectby_tree', 'keyid', 'parent_keyid', '11', 0, '-') AS t(keyid int, parent_keyid int, level int, branch text); keyid | parent_keyid | level | branch -------+--------------+-------+---------- 11 | | 0 | 11 10 | 11 | 1 | 11-10 111 | 11 | 1 | 11-111 1 | 111 | 2 | 11-111-1 (4 rows) While making the patch I also realized that the "no show branch" form of the function was not going to work very well for recursion detection. Therefore there is now a default branch delimiter ('~') that is used internally, for that case, to enable recursion detection to work. If you need a different delimiter for your specific data, you will have to use the "show branch" form of the function. Joe Conway	24 years ago
Tom Lane	bd04184b11	Attached is a patch to fix some recently raised issues that exist in ... contrib/tablefunc. Specifically it replaces the use of VIEWs (for needed composite type creation) with use of CREATE TYPE. It also performs GRANT EXECUTE ON FUNCTION foo() TO PUBLIC for all of the created functions. There was also a cosmetic change to two regression files. Joe Conway	24 years ago

The performance hit was pretty minimal -- about 1% for a moderately complex test case (220000 record table, 9 level tree with 3800 members). Joe Conway	24 years ago
Bruce Momjian	6fff9a7475	The attached removes the current non-standard file ... "contrib/tablefunc/tablefunc-test.sql", and adds a standard regression test suite to contrib/tablefunc. Joe Conway	24 years ago
Tom Lane	52c9d25933	Be careful to include postgres.h *before* any system headers, to ensure ... that the right flavors of largefile-related definitions are seen. Most of these changes are probably unnecessary, but better safe than sorry.	24 years ago

Bruce Momjian	6aa4482f2f	Attached is an update to contrib/tablefunc. It introduces a new ... function, connectby(), which can serve as a reference implementation for the changes made in the last few days -- namely the ability of a function to return an entire tuplestore, and the ability of a function to make use of the query provided "expected" tuple description. Description: connectby(text relname, text keyid_fld, text parent_keyid_fld, text start_with, int max_depth [, text branch_delim]) - returns keyid, parent_keyid, level, and an optional branch string - requires anonymous composite type syntax in the FROM clause. See the instructions in the documentation below. Joe Conway	24 years ago
Tom Lane	c7a165adc6	Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headers ... (overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask, per earlier discussion. Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place). Don't try to clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there. Don't try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either. Get rid of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which has already caused one recent failure. Improve documentation.	24 years ago
Tom Lane	e4186762ff	Adjust nodeFunctionscan.c to reset transient memory context between calls ... to the table function, thus preventing memory leakage accumulation across calls. This means that SRFs need to be careful to distinguish permanent and local storage; adjust code and documentation accordingly. Patch by Joe Conway, very minor tweaks by Tom Lane.	24 years ago
Bruce Momjian	45e2544584	As discussed on several occasions previously, the new anonymous ... composite type capability makes it possible to create a system view based on a table function in a way that is hopefully palatable to everyone. The attached patch takes advantage of this, moving show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc into the backend (renamed all_settings(). It is defined as a builtin returning type RECORD. During initdb a system view is created to expose the same information presently available through SHOW ALL. For example: test=# select * from pg_settings where name like '%debug%'; name | setting -----------------------+--------- debug_assertions | on debug_pretty_print | off debug_print_parse | off debug_print_plan | off debug_print_query | off debug_print_rewritten | off wal_debug | 0 (7 rows) Additionally during initdb two rules are created which make it possible to change settings by updating the system view -- a "virtual table" as Tom put it. Here's an example: Joe Conway	24 years ago
Bruce Momjian	41f862ba87	As mentioned above, here is my contrib/tablefunc patch. It includes ... three functions which exercise the tablefunc API. show_all_settings() - returns the same information as SHOW ALL, but as a query result normal_rand(int numvals, float8 mean, float8 stddev, int seed) - returns a set of normally distributed float8 values - This routine implements Algorithm P (Polar method for normal deviates) from Knuth's _The_Art_of_Computer_Programming_, Volume 2, 3rd ed., pages 122-126. Knuth cites his source as "The polar method", G. E. P. Box, M. E. Muller, and G. Marsaglia, _Annals_Math,_Stat._ 29 (1958), 610-611. crosstabN(text sql) - returns a set of row_name plus N category value columns - crosstab2(), crosstab3(), and crosstab4() are defined for you, but you can create additional crosstab functions per directions in the README.
