Обсуждение: psql with "Function Type" in \df
Folks, Here's a patch that adds a "Function Type" column to \df while removing the now-redundant \da.

Removing \da altogether was nowhere in the consensus, or even in the
discussion AFAIR. Also, what is the point of using single-letter
type codes when you've made the column header about as verbose as
it could get? I'd go for something like
Type
windowaggtriggernormal
Or we could spell out "aggregate", but that makes the column a
couple of characters wider ...

How does it make it redundant - is there a way to view all aggregates with \df now? 2. Even if the above is satisfied, I think we need a little more discussion before completely removing a now-functioning backslash command.

I've also added \df[antw], which lets people narrow their search.

I had a second thought about that: presumably we should make the
function type names translatable. If we do that, it might be better
to make the aggregate case be "aggregate" and take the width hit.
Otherwise translators are going to be puzzled when they come across
"agg" as a translatable phrase.
Or maybe I'm overthinking that problem. Comments from anyone who
actually does translations?

Why didn't you make it work like \d[tisv], ie allow more than one
letter? If you're going to be inventing new features at this late
date, they should at least work like the adjacent precedent.

I think it's good to have them translatable. As for using "aggregate" instead of "agg" I don't think it's that great an idea.

So what happens if I do \dfaQ? It should throw an error, yes?
This help line:
> + fprintf(output, _(" \\df[S+] [PATTERN] list functions. Add a, n, t, w for aggregate, normal, trigger,
window\n"));
needs shortening to below 80 chars (or maybe split it in two lines.
Just make sure they are a single translation item).
It also seems like we're missing tab completion support for this.

Oops. Working on that now.

This is another interesting question. I notice that the tab
completion doesn't support things like \dit.
Should I add that as a separate patch?
Cheers,

Modified patch applied. I modified the \? display to be two lines: \df[S+] [PATTERN] list functions \df[antwS+] [PATTERN] list only agg/normal/trigger/window functions and adjusted the code and documentation a bit. I removed the release.sgml patch because that part will be done when the release notes are updated and I was worried it might confuse things to add it now.

Shouldn't that second line have some curly braces? Like maybe:
\df{antw}[S+] [PATTERN] list only agg/normal/trigger/window functions
Technically, it should probably be even more verbose, but this might
be adequate.

I suggested this to Bruce over IM:
\df[antw][S+] list [only agg/normal/trigger/window] functions
(one line only, removing the second redundant line). This seems
clea[nr]er to me. Bruce says it would confuse users. But really, if
you can understand the [S+] stuff you should be able to get the [antw]
stuff too, right?

Agreed. The problem is I don't see curly braces used anywhere in \?,
but now that I look at it it is just because there is no need for them.
How about this:
\\df{antw}[S+] [PATRN] list only agg/normal/trigger/window functions
In a way though, they are really still optional, they are just not
optional for this specific line.

I see it in 8.3:
: \d{t|i|s|v|S} [PATTERN] (add "+" for more detail)
: list tables/indexes/sequences/views/system tables
and:
: \pset NAME [VALUE]
: set table output option
: (NAME :=

:
numericlocale|recordsep|tuples_only|title|tableattr|pager})

Then we should indicate they're not optional on that line, or remove
that line as suggested by Alvaro.

Yeah. The only reason that \d[tisv] doesn't have a similar issue
is that someone has dumbed down its entries to the point of being
flat-out incorrect. I trust we will not be equally bad about \df.

I merged the entries into one line:
\df[antwS+] [PATTERN] list (only agg/normal/trigger/window) functions
I didn't feel I had room to do [][] like Alvaro suggested. I also went
with parntheses in the description. Are brackets better there?

True, but the problem is that the brackets don't correspond. There are
two brackets on the left, options and "Pattern", and "S+" in the left
bracket is not related to the "only" options. If we had used braces:
\df{antw}[S+] [PATTERN] list {only agg/normal/trigger/window} functions
that would make sense, but we don't have space nor are braces logically
correct for this usage.

Yes, the brackets in the text match up with the brackets in the syntax,
so I think this looks more sensible.

I'm for that too. Bruce was complaining that it'd make the column
wider, but I don't find that a compelling objection.

It seems like rather a large change to be making in beta. Can you make
a small patch that fixes the immediate problem, and leave the
refactoring for 8.5?

The hack I've come up with short of the refactor is to duplicate a lot of the backslash handling code from command.c and describe.c. It doesn't strike me as being all that much less work than the refactor. Is the hack worth doing? What other ways to approach this have I missed?

I think a small patch that just adds "\dfa", "\dfw" and appropriate pattern completions (i.e. it lists window functions in \dfw, etc) should be enough for now, and let the big refactoring loose in the 8.5 timeframe. If we don't support \dfaw in 8.4, tough world. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support

Just don't (IMHO anyway). -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ The PostgreSQL Company - Command Prompt, Inc.
Did we ever get tab completion support for these backslash commands?
