review/feedback if anyone is interested and can spend the time. But I'd
also love to get this committed and address changes as incremental
patches ;-), so if there are no objections, please apply.

Below I'll give a synopsis of the changes. More detailed descriptions
are now in a new doc directory under contrib/dblink. There is also a new

dblink.test.sql file which will give a pretty good overview of the
functions and their use.

already fixed by You. However there were a few left and attached patch
should fix the rest of them.

I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug
ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all
the other code does.

I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing
snprintf(buf, 2 * BUFSIZE, ... style lines to
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array.

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.

(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.

that the functionality is available to anyone via ReturnSetInfo, rather
than hard-wiring it to PL/pgSQL.

diffs to 7.3-devel and may not be applicable to 7.2. I have included a
change covered by a previous bugfix patch I submitted (the problem with
-.1 not being accepted by cube_in). It does not include a fix for the
potential buffer overrun issue I reported for cube_yyerror in
cubeparse.y.

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.

This is currently a cosmetic difference but I make the change now in case
the macros diverge one day.

types, SRFs.  Not happy with memory management yet, but I'll commit these
other changes.

array header, and to compute sizing and alignment of array elements
the same way normal tuple access operations do --- viz, using the
tupmacs.h macros att_addlength and att_align.  This makes the world
safe for arrays of cstrings or intervals, and should make it much
easier to write array-type-polymorphic functions; as examples see
the cleanups of array_out and contrib/array_iterator.  By Joe Conway
and Tom Lane.

with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion.  I still want to do some
more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk
of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...

snprintf() in contrib/. I didn't touch the places where pointer
arithmatic was being used, or other areas where the fix wasn't
trivial. I would think that few, if any, of the usages of sprintf()
were actually exploitable, but it's probably better to be paranoid...

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:

   1. Reworked patch from Andrey Oktyabrski (ano@spider.ru) with
      functions: icount, sort, sort_asc, uniq, idx, subarray
      operations: #, +, -, |, &

FUNCTIONS:

  int   icount(int[]) - the number of elements in intarray
  int[] sort(int[], 'asc' | 'desc') - sort intarray
  int[] sort(int[]) - sort in ascending order
  int[] sort_asc(int[]),sort_desc(int[]) - shortcuts for sort
  int[] uniq(int[]) - returns unique elements
  int   idx(int[], int item) - returns index of first intarray matching element
                               to item, or '0' if matching failed.
  int[] subarray(int[],int START [, int LEN]) - returns part of intarray
                               starting from element number START (from 1)
                               and length LEN.
OPERATIONS:

  int[] && int[]  - overlap - returns TRUE if arrays has at least one common elements.
  int[] @  int[]  - contains - returns TRUE if left array contains right array
  int[] ~ int[]   - contained - returns TRUE if left array is contained in right array
  # int[]         - return the number of elements in array
  int[] + int     - push element to array ( add to end of array)
  int[] + int[]   - merge of arrays (right array added to the end of left one)
  int[] - int     - remove entries matched by right argument from array
  int[] - int[]   - remove left array from right
  int[] | int     - returns intarray - union of arguments
  int[] | int[]   - returns intarray as a union of two arrays
  int[] & int[]   - returns intersection of arrays

has_language_privilege, has_schema_privilege to let SQL queries test
all the new privilege types in 7.3.  Also, add functions pg_table_is_visible,
pg_type_is_visible, pg_function_is_visible, pg_operator_is_visible,
pg_opclass_is_visible to test whether objects contained in schemas are
visible in the current search path.  Do some minor cleanup to centralize
accesses to pg_database, as well.

I believe that patch also intended to remove contrib/ltree/patch.72

Changes:

July 31, 2002
   Now works on 64-bit platforms.
   Added function lca - lowest common ancestor
