Previously using a generic mimetype handler failed when any kind of select= was given, because
we tried to cast the select-result to the original table type. With this change, this cast is
only applied when select=* is given implicitly or explicitly. This is the only case where this
makes sense, because this guarantees that correct columns are selected in the correct order for
this cast to succeed.
Resolves#3160
* test text/html and drop HtmlRawOutputSpec.hs
* all tests passing, removed all pendingWith
* make functions compatible with pg <= 12
* move custom media types tests to own spec
* anyelement aggregate
* apply aggregates without a final function
* overriding works
* overriding anyelement with particular agg
* cannot override vendored media types
* plan spec works with custom aggregate
* renamed media types to make clear which ones are overridable
* correct content negotiation with same weight
* text/tab-separated-values media type
* text/csv with BOM plus content-disposition header
See PR #2523. Most notable code changes:
- Load data representation casts into schema cache.
- Data representations for reads, filters, inserts, updates, views, over joins.
- `CoercibleField` represents name references in queries where coercion may be needed.
- `ResolverContext` help facilitate field resolution during planning.
- Planner 'resolves' names in the API query and pairs them with any implicit conversions to be used in the query builder stage.
- Tests for all of the above.
- More consistent naming (TypedX -> CoercibleX).
New: unit tests for more data representation use cases; helpful as examples as well.
New: update CHANGELOG with data representations feature description.
Fixed failing idempotence test.
New: replace date formatter test with one that does something.
Fixup: inadvertent CHANGELOG change after rebase.
Cleanup: `tfName` -> `cfName` and related.
Document what IRType means.
Formatting.
New: use a subquery to interpret `IN` literals requiring data rep transformation.
- With the previous method, very long queries such as `ANY (ARRAY[test.color('000100'), test.color('CAFE12'), test.color('01E240'), ...` could be generated. Consider the case where the parser function name is 45 characters and there's a hundred literals. That's 4.5kB of SQL just for the function name alone!
- New version uses `unnest`: `ANY (SELECT test.color(unnest('{000100,CAFE12,01E240,...}'::text[]))` to produce a much shorter query.
- This is likely to be more performant and either way much more readable and debuggable in the logs.
The new LATERAL query used for calling the function, introduced on
https://github.com/PostgREST/postgrest/pull/2677, failed on functions
that returned a domain like `CREATE DOMAIN projects_domain AS projects`.
Work around that by changing the query conditionally, by
obtaining a bool that represents the composite alias on the SchemaCache
and only do this on pg 11 and 12.
This returns an error for trying to update or insert into invalid columns, without hitting the database. This change also switches from `json_populate_recordset` for these operations `json_to_recordset` which should make no functional difference except allowing future flexibility.
