18 years agoAllow assignment to array elements not contiguous with those already
Tom Lane [Fri, 29 Sep 2006 21:22:21 +0000 (21:22 +0000)]
Allow assignment to array elements not contiguous with those already
present; intervening positions are filled with nulls.  This behavior
is required by SQL99 but was not implementable before 8.2 due to lack
of support for nulls in arrays.  I have only made it work for the
one-dimensional case, which is all that SQL99 requires.  It seems quite
complex to get it right in higher dimensions, and since we never allowed
extension at all in higher dimensions, I think that must count as a
future feature addition not a bug fix.

Tom Lane [Thu, 28 Sep 2006 20:51:43 +0000 (20:51 +0000)]
Fix IS NULL and IS NOT NULL tests on row-valued expressions to conform to
the SQL spec, viz IS NULL is true if all the row's fields are null, IS NOT
NULL is true if all the row's fields are not null.  The former coding got
this right for a limited number of cases with IS NULL (ie, those where it
could disassemble a ROW constructor at parse time), but was entirely wrong
for IS NOT NULL.  Per report from Teodor.

I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection
it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec.  This
probably needs more consideration.
