Thanks for sending the updated patch. Here are some (mostly cosmetic)
comments. Before the comments, let me confirm whether the following
result is odd (a bug) or whether I am just using it wrong:
Custom script looks like:
\;
select a \into a
from tab where a = 1;
\set i debug(:a)
I get the following error:
undefined variable "a"
client 0 aborted in state 1; execution of meta-command failed
Even the following script gives the same result:
\;
select a from a where a = 1;
\into a
\set t debug(:a)
However with the following there is no error and a gets set to 2:
select a from a where a = 1
\;
select a+1 from a where a = 1;
\into a
\set t debug(:a)
Comments on the patch follow:
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Stores the first fields of the resulting row from the current or
preceding
+ <command>SELECT</> command into these variables.
Any command returning rows ought to work, no? For example, the following
works:
update a set a = a+1 returning *;
\into a
\set t debug(:a)
- char *line; /* text of command line */
+ char *line; /* first line for short display */
+ char *lines; /* full multi-line text of command */
When I looked at this and related hunks (and also the hunks related to
semicolons), it made me wonder whether this patch contains two logical
changes. Is this a just a refactoring for the \into implementation or
does this provide some new externally visible feature?
char *argv[MAX_ARGS]; /* command word list */
+ int compound; /* last compound command (number of \;) */
+ char ***intos; /* per-compound command \into variables */
Need an extra space for intos to align with earlier fields. Also I wonder
if intonames or intoargs would be a slightly better name for the field.
+static bool
+read_response(CState *st, char ** intos[])
Usual style seems to be to use ***intos here.
+ fprintf(stderr,
+ "client %d state %d compound %d: "
+ "cannot apply \\into to non SELECT statement\n",
+ st->id, st->state, compound);
How about make this error message say something like other messages
related to \into, perhaps something like: "\\into cannot follow non SELECT
statements\n"
/*
* Read and discard the query result; note this is not
included in
- * the statement latency numbers.
+ * the statement latency numbers (above), thus if reading the
+ * response fails the transaction is counted nevertheless.
*/
Does this comment need to mention that the result is not discarded when
\into is specified?
+ my_command->intos = pg_malloc0(sizeof(char**) * (compounds+1));
Need space: s/char**/char **/g
This comments applies also to a couple of nearby places.
- my_command->line = pg_malloc(nlpos - p + 1);
+ my_command->line = pg_malloc(nlpos - p + 1 + 3);
A comment mentioning what the above means would be helpful.
+ bool sql_command_in_progress = false;
This variable's name could be slightly confusing to readers. If I
understand its purpose correctly, perhaps it could be called
sql_command_continues.
+ if (index == 0)
+ syntax_error(desc, lineno, NULL, NULL,
+ "\\into cannot start a script",
+ NULL, -1);
How about: "\\into cannot be at the beginning of a script" ?
Thanks,
Amit
