schemas/util.sql: util.remake_diff_table(): don't force-re-create type_table. this allows type_table to be shared between multiple diff tables.

/README.TXT: to back up the version history: added steps to sync git to the local machine

added validation/aggregating/traits/BIEN2_traits/_archive/bien3_validations_traits_complete.sql from Brad's e-mail

schemas/vegbien.sql: public_validations.remake_diff_table(in_view regclass): document how to regenerate the diff table, in a place that's readily available to someone using the table

schemas/util.sql: added curr_func(func text, schema_anchor anyelement)

schemas/util.sql: removed unneeded regproc(regprocedure), regprocedure(regproc) because these can actually be directly cast to one another, not just via oid

schemas/util.sql: added quote_func_call()

schemas/util.sql: added regprocedure(text)

schemas/util.sql: func2regproc*(): removed func2* so that this has the format of a cast function (which it is)

schemas/util.sql: added func2regproc(regprocedure)

schemas/util.sql: added func2regprocedure(regproc)

schemas/util.sql: added quote_typed()

schemas/util.sql: remake_diff_table(): use util.append_comment() instead of util.set_comment() to allow other functions to add comments to the diff table

schemas/util.sql: added append_comment(regclass)

schemas/util.sql: added comment(oid)

fix: schemas/vegbien.sql: _traits_08_taxonname_trait_and_value_for_first_5000_records: renamed to _traits_08_taxonname_trait_and_value because this actually includes all the records, not just the first 5000. this uses the new public_validations.rename_query_view() to rename all associated tables and views, including handling truncated names.

bugfix: schemas/vegbien.sql: query_relations(), new_query_view_relation_name(): need to take into account the prefix when determining truncation, using the max_prefix_len param

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
