Обсуждение: COMMENT ON, psql and access methods
Hi all, As far as I can see, COMMENT ON has no support for access methods. Wouldn't we want to add it as it is created by a command? On top of that, perhaps we could have a backslash command in psql to list the supported access methods, like \dam[S]? The system methods would be in this case all the in-core ones. Regards, -- Michael

I'm a bit skeptical that we need this yet. Maybe if custom access methods become so popular that everybody's got one, it'd be worth the trouble. regards, tom lane

Are there other opinions? That's not a 9.6 blocker IMO, so I could get patches out for 10.0 if needed. -- Michael

I missed that on review process, but I'm agree it should be implemented. -- Teodor Sigaev E-mail: teodor@sigaev.ru WWW: http://www.sigaev.ru/

So, I have taken the time to hack that, and finished with the patch attached, that is less intrusive than I thought first: - COMMENT support is added for access methods - Added meta-command \dA in psql to list the available access methods: =# \dA List of access methods Name | Type --------+------- bloom | Index brin | Index btree | Index gin | Index gist | Index hash | Index spgist | Index (7 rows) =# \dA+ List of access methods Name | Type | Handler | Description --------+-------+-------------+---------------------------------------- bloom | Index | blhandler | bloom index access method brin | Index | brinhandler | block range index (BRIN) access method btree | Index | bthandler | b-tree index access method gin | Index | ginhandler | GIN index access method gist | Index | gisthandler | GiST index access method hash | Index | hashhandler | hash index access method spgist | Index | spghandler | SP-GiST index access method (7 rows) - Fixed a missing tab completion for DROP ACCESS METHOD. I have added an open item for 9.6 regarding this patch, that would be good to complete this work in this release for consistency with the other objects. Regards, -- Michael

This is a generic notification.] The above-described topic is currently a PostgreSQL 9.6 open item. Álvaro, since you committed the patch believed to have created it, you own this open item. If some other commit is more relevant or if this does not belong as a 9.6 open item, please let us know. Otherwise, please observe the policy on open item ownership[1] and send a status update within 72 hours of this message. Include a date for your subsequent status update. Testers may discover new open items at any time, and I want to plan to get them all fixed well in advance of shipping 9.6rc1. Consequently, I will appreciate your efforts toward speedy resolution. Thanks. [1] http://www.postgresql.org/message-id/20160527025039.GA447393@tornado.leadboat.com

I'll have this patch reviewed, and barring serious problems, committed no later than EOB Friday 10th. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

In looking at the DROP ACCESS METHOD completion I noticed that the words_after_create gadget is a bit buggy: for things with more than one word in the thing name (such as MATERIALIZED VIEW, USER MAPPING FOR, EVENT TRIGGER among others) the "query/squery"-based completion isn't triggered, because the loop at the end of psql_completion only considers a single word (using strcmp against prev_wd), which obviously doesn't match the multiple-word specifier in the struct. Some things such as EVENT TRIGGER and MATERIALIZED VIEW have specialized code that does the actual work; the latter specifies a query in words_after_create, but it's dead code. As a probably separate but related bug, CREATE USER MAPPING FOR stops working after you tab-complete the USER in it. Lastly, there is an entry for CONFIGURATION which also doesn't work: if you enter "DROP <tab>" it doesn't complete CONFIGURATION, but if you enter "DROP CONFIGURATION <tab>" then it shows a list of text search configurations, which is not a valid command. To conclude, so far as I can tell, your patch (for DROP AM completion) is fine, but the existing code has some minor flags which we could just as well ignore for now, but could be improved in the future. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services

This is not a new issue as well. Even before the tab completion refactoring things are behaving this way. There is much room for improvements. The refactoring makes back-patching a bit more difficult, so we may just want to get those improvements in 9.6~ based on the lack of complaints regarding that. > To conclude, so far as I can tell, your patch (for DROP AM completion) > is fine, but the existing code has some minor flags which we could just > as well ignore for now, but could be improved in the future.

I only added a "translate_columns" option to printQuery. -- Álvaro Herrera http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
