schemas/vegbien.sql: added query_view_relation_max_prefix_len()

fix: schemas/util.sql: drop_relation(text), rename_relation(text, text): appended _esc to params that should be passed in escaped, and _name to those that shouldn't

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: rename_relation(): need quote_ident() around to_

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: truncated_prefixed_name_regexp(): need to match the entire string, so that the regexp can be used with util.replace_suffix()

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: truncated_prefixed_name_regexp(): need to pass max_prefix_len to util.name_was_truncated() because although the name itself might not have been truncated, it might become truncated once prefixed

schemas/util.sql: name_was_truncated(): support max_prefix_len param to determine truncation of something that will be prefixed

fix: name_was_truncated(): should use util.namedatalen() instead of hardcoding the value

schemas/util.sql: replace_suffix(): support strings that have been truncated (eg. as a table name) due to the prepending of a prefix

schemas/util.sql: added truncated_prefixed_name_regexp()

schemas/util.sql: added rtrim_n()

schemas/util.sql: added name_was_truncated()

schemas/util.sql: added namedatalen()

schemas/util.sql: drop_relation(regclass), rename_relation(regclass): use util.qual_name() instead of ::text so that the schema qualifier is always included in the debug SQL

schemas/vegbien.sql: added rename_query_view(), which renames all DB objects related to a particular validations query

schemas/vegbien.sql: added new_query_view_relation_name()

schemas/util.sql: added replace_suffix()

schemas/util.sql: added rename_relation(regclass/text, text)

fix: schemas/util.sql: drop_relation(): documented that it is actually not idempotent, because the regclass will not be valid after the relation is dropped

schemas/util.sql: drop_relation(relation text, type text): put type param first because it is usually constant

schemas/util.sql: drop_table(), drop_view(): use drop_relation(relation text, type text)

schemas/util.sql: drop_relation(regclass): use simpler drop_relation(relation text, type text)

schemas/util.sql: added relation_type(regclass)

schemas/util.sql: added drop_relation(relation text, type text)

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: drop_relation(): need to pass force param to util.drop_*()

schemas/util.sql: added relation_type_char(regclass)

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: relation_type(character): must use "char" type for single character, as character actually allows multiple characters. corrected return type.

schemas/util.sql: added relation_type(character)

schemas/vegbien.sql: added rm_query_view(), which removes all DB objects related to a particular validations query

fix: schemas/vegbien.sql: remake_diff_tables(): need to set function option search_path in order to limit the effects of `SET LOCAL search_path` (mk_set_search_path()) to the current function

fix: schemas/vegbien.sql: query_views(): renamed to query_relations() because this also returns non-views

schemas/vegbien.sql: added public_validations.query_views()

schemas/util.sql: schema_matches(): should be IMMUTABLE, not STABLE, because it uses only parameter values

schemas/util.sql: added regexp_quote()

fix: schemas/util.sql: is_table(), is_view(): should be STABLE, not IMMUTABLE, because they reference tables

schemas/util.sql: added drop_relation()

schemas/util.sql: added is_table()

schemas/util.sql: added is_view()

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: show_views_like(): need to match the schema exactly, not via regexp like util.show_relations_like() does

schemas/util.sql: show_views_like(): use util.show_relations_like()

schemas/util.sql: show_views_like(): reversed argument order to match show_relations_like()

schemas/util.sql: added show_relations_like()

schemas/util.sql: added schema_matches()

schemas/vegbien.sql: remake_diff_tables(): updated runtime now that row limit has been removed (same, 45 min)

fix: schemas/vegbien.sql: _traits_07_trait_value_and_units, _traits_08_taxonname_trait_and_value_for_first_5000_records: removed LIMIT to match the input queries

schemas/util.sql: materialize_query(): ANALYZE the created table so that it has the correct estimated rowcount

schemas/util.sql: added analyze_()

schemas/vegbien.sql: remake_diff_tables(): updated bien2_traits runtime (45 min) to include the now-properly-renamed views 6-8

schemas/vegbien.sql: remake_diff_tables(): documented runtime for bien2_traits (30 min)

fix: schemas/vegbien.sql: renamed output views to match input views

schemas/vegbien.sql: _traits_01_count_records (output side): documented runtime (4 min)

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: source_by_shortname(): resolved ambiguous column references by renaming PL/pgSQL vars and adding table qualifiers

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: source_by_shortname(): changed from STABLE to VOLATILE because the search_path can only be set in VOLATILE functions

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: source_by_shortname(): can't be declared STRICT because it now has a 2nd param (schema_anchor) which is always NULL

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: remake_diff_tables(): can't raise exception at end if had errors, because this would roll back the transaction. instead use new util.raise_error_notice().

schemas/util.sql: added raise_error_notice()

web/links/index.htm: updated to Firefox bookmarks: Unix: moved into OS folder. Windows: added steps to try for fixing Windows Update.

schemas/vegbien.sql: added remake_diff_tables()

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: diff(text, text): also need to include only different rows when comparing single-row tables

schemas/vegbien.sql: added validation_views()

schemas/util.sql: show_views_like(): added predictable ordering

schemas/util.sql: added show_views_like()

schemas/util.sql: added schema_oid()

schemas/util.sql: remake_diff_table(): add comment on the diff table showing how to view it in human-readable form. (the table unfortunately cannot be materialized in human-readable form, because this would create column name collisions between the two sides.)

schemas/util.sql: added set_comment()

schemas/util.sql: added eval2records()

fix: schemas/util.sql: diff(regclass, regclass): display single row tables side-by-side

schemas/util.sql: diff(text, text): implemented the single_row feature

schemas/util.sql: diff(text, text): added single_row param (not implemented yet, to make reading the svn diff easier). to view this svn diff, it is helpful to use WinMerge, which offers moved block detection (/README.TXT > WinMerge setup).

fix: schemas/util.sql: remake_diff_table(): util.diff() call: include explicit types on arguments to ensure that the correct diff() variant is used

schemas/util.sql: added has_single_row()

schemas/vegbien.sql: remake_diff_table(): prepend ~ to the type table so that it sorts at the end, away from the main tables

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: remake_diff_table(): can't have in_table/out_table inherit from each other, because inheritance also causes the rows of the parent table to be included in the child table. instead, they need to inherit from a common, empty table, as implemented by the new util.remake_diff_table().

schemas/util.sql: added remake_diff_table()

schemas/util.sql: drop_*(): added force param to use CASCADE mode

fix: schemas/util.sql: diff(regclass, regclass): usage: col_type_null must actually be a shared base type of the tables

fix: schemas/util.sql: diff(regclass, regclass): usage: text arguments must be cast to regclass to bind the right variant of diff()

fix: schemas/util.sql: diff(regclass, regclass): renamed params to *_table because these actually can't be views, since views don't support inheritance

schemas/util.sql: added copy_struct()

schemas/vegbien.sql: added remake_diff_table()

bugfix: inputs/bien2_traits/validations.sql: _traits_01_count_records: changed column names to match public_validations._traits_01_count_records

schemas/util.sql: added inherit()

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: diff(): need to explicitly cast each side to the return type because this does not happen automatically even when an implicit cast is available

schemas/util.sql: renamed diff_views(), diff_any() to diff(...) because they are overloads of the same operation

schemas/util.sql: diff_any(): documented how to run EXPLAIN on the FULL JOIN query

schemas/util.sql: removed non-useful diff_queries() (it is not possible to match distinct `record` types to a common return type, so this would not have worked). use diff_views() instead.

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: diff_queries(), diff_views(): embed views verbatim as FROM items, so that the type of their corresponding columns is the view's rowtype. this is necessary in order to match the types of the columns to the return type (set by col_type_null).

schemas/util.sql: diff_cols(): renamed to diff_queries() because multiple columns are supported

fix: schemas/util.sql: diff_cols(): don't assume that each side will have one column, as many of our validations queries have multiple columns

bugfix: schemas/util.sql: diff_views(): need to use $2, not $1, for the 2nd query

fix: schemas/util.sql: materialize_query(): remove any extra blank line before the query, to improve readability when newlines are used as a log message separator and are therefore confusing in the middle of a log message

schemas/util.sql: added ltrim_nl()

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: setting search_path locally: also need to set function option search_path, in order to limit the effects of `SET LOCAL search_path` (mk_set_search_path()) to the current function (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/sql-set.html#AEN75423)

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: setting search_path locally: need to use `SET LOCAL search_path TO` instead of `PERFORM set_config(search_path, ..., is_local := true)` because the meaning of is_local refers to the entire transaction, not just the current function (as for LOCAL)

schemas/util.sql: added mk_set_search_path(VARIADIC schemas text[])

schemas/util.sql: added mk_use_own_schema()

schemas/util.sql: added mk_set_search_path()

schemas/util.sql: use builtin string_agg(..., ) instead of concat()

schemas/util.sql: added qual_name(type unknown) to avoid needing to explicitly specify the type of an input string

schemas/util.sql: qual_name(table_ regclass): use ::text with search_path=pg_temp like qual_name(type regtype), rather than casting to text and then using qual_name(type regtype)

schemas/util.sql: type_qual_name(type regtype): renamed to qual_name(type regtype) to match qual_name(table_ regclass)
