24 years agoThe first fix is to allow an input file with a relative path and without
Bruce Momjian [Tue, 21 Dec 1999 17:42:16 +0000 (17:42 +0000)]
The first fix is to allow an input file with a relative path and without
a ".pgc " extension. The second patch fixes a coredump when there is
more than one input file (in that case, cur and types were not set to
NULL before processing the second f ile)

The patch below modifies the accepted grammar of ecpg to accept

 FETCH [direction] [amount] cursor name

i.e. the IN|FROM clause becomes optional (as in Oracle and Informix).
This removes the incompatibility mentioned in section "Porting From
Other RDBMS Packages" p169, PostgreSQL Programmer's Guide. The grammar
is modified in such a way as to avoid shift/reduce conflicts. It does
not accept the statement "EXEC SQL FETCH;" anymore, as the old grammar
did (this seems to be a bug of the old grammar anyway).

This patch cleans up the handling of space characters in the scanner;
some patte rns require \n to be in {space}, some do not. A second fix is
the handling of cpp continuati on lines; the old pattern did not match
these. The parser is patched to fix an off-by-one error in the #line
directives. The pa rser is also enhanced to report the correct location
of errors in declarations in the "E XEC SQL DECLARE SECTION". Finally,
some right recursions in the parser were replaced by  left-recursions.

This patch adds preprocessor directives to ecpg; in particular

EXEC SQL IFDEF, EXEC SQL IFNDEF, EXEC SQL ELSE, EXEC SQL ELIF and EXEC SQL ENDIF

"EXEC SQL IFDEF" is used with defines made with "EXEC SQL DEFINE" and
defines, specified on the command line with -D. Defines, specified on
the command line are persistent across multiple input files. Defines can
be nested up to a maximum level of 128 (see patch). There is a fair
amount of error checking to make sure directives are matched properly. I
need preprocessor directives for porting code, that is written for an
Informix database, to a PostgreSQL database, while maintaining
compatibility with the original code. I decided not to extend the
already large ecpg grammar. Everything is done in the scanner by adding
some states, e.g. to skip all input except newlines and directives. The
preprocessor commands are compatible with Informix. Oracle uses a cpp
replacement.

anywhere from zero to two TODO items.

* Allow flag to control COPY input/output of NULLs

I got this:
COPY table .... [ WITH NULL AS 'string' ]

empty strings, etc. On Copy In this acts like a filter: every data item

* Make postgres user have a password by default

If I recall this discussion correctly, the problem was actually that the
default password for the postgres (or any) user is in fact "\N", because
of the way copy is used. With this change, the file pg_pwd is copied out
with nulls as empty strings, so if someone doesn't have a password, the
password is just '', which one would expect from a new account. I don't
think anyone really wants a hard-coded default password.

* Document/trigger/rule so changes to pg_shadow recreate pg_pwd

I did it with a trigger and it seems to work like a charm. The function
that already updates the file for create and alter user has been made a
built-in "SQL" function and a trigger is created at initdb time.

Comments around the pg_pwd updating function seem to be worried about
this
routine being called concurrently, but I really don't see a reason to
worry about this. Verify for yourself. I guess we never had a system
trigger before, so treat this with care, and feel free to adjust the
nomenclature as well.

Meanwhile, database names with single quotes in names don't work very well
at all, and because of shell quoting rules this can't be fixed, so I put
in error messages to that end.

Also, calling create or drop database in a transaction block is not so
good either, because the file system mysteriously refuses to roll back rm
calls on transaction aborts. :) So I put in checks to see if a transaction
is in progress and signal an error.

Also I put the whole call in a transaction of its own to be able to roll
back changes to pg_database in case the file system operations fail.

The alternative location issues I posted recently were untouched, awaiting
the outcome of that discussion. Other than that, this should be much more
fool-proof now.
