As discussed on several occasions previously, the new anonymous
composite type capability makes it possible to create a system view
based on a table function in a way that is hopefully palatable to
everyone. The attached patch takes advantage of this, moving
show_all_settings() from contrib/tablefunc into the backend (renamed
all_settings(). It is defined as a builtin returning type RECORD. During
initdb a system view is created to expose the same information presently
available through SHOW ALL. For example:

test=# select * from pg_settings where name like '%debug%';
          name          | setting
-----------------------+---------
  debug_assertions      | on
  debug_pretty_print    | off
  debug_print_parse     | off
  debug_print_plan      | off
  debug_print_query     | off
  debug_print_rewritten | off
  wal_debug             | 0
(7 rows)


Additionally during initdb two rules are created which make it possible
to change settings by updating the system view -- a "virtual table" as
Tom put it. Here's an example:

test=# update pg_settings set setting = 'on' where name =
'show_query_stats';
  set_config
------------
  on
(1 row)

test=# update pg_settings set setting = 'off' where name =
'show_query_stats';
  set_config
------------
  off
(1 row)

test=# update pg_settings set setting = 'off' where name = 'does not exist';
  set_config
------------
(0 rows)

test=# update pg_settings set name = 'why would I do this?' where name =
'show_query_stats';
  set_config
------------
(0 rows)


I have adjusted the regression test for rules also. All regression tests
passed.

I have not revised the docs yet. I wanted to see if this would be
accepted before spending time on the documentation, because it has gone
back and forth more than once already ;-)

If there are no objections, please apply.

Thanks,

Joe

    installs following functions into database template1:

-     show_all_settings()
-       - returns the same information as SHOW ALL, but as a query result
-
      normal_rand(int numvals, float8 mean, float8 stddev, int seed)
        - returns a set of normally distributed float8 values

+
+ Synopsis
+
+ crosstab(text sql, int N)
+
+ Inputs
+
+   sql
+
+     A SQL statement which produces the source set of data. The SQL statement
+     must return one row_name column, one category column, and one value
+     column.
+
+     e.g. provided sql must produce a set something like:
+
+              row_name    cat    value
+             ----------+-------+-------
+               row1      cat1    val1

+               row2      cat3    val7
+               row2      cat4    val8
+
+   N
+
+     number of category value columns
+
+ Outputs
+
+   Returns setof record, which must defined with a column definition
+   in the FROM clause of the SELECT statement, e.g.:
+
+     SELECT *
+     FROM crosstab(sql, 2) AS ct(row_name text, category_1 text, category_2 text);
+
+     the example crosstab function produces a set something like:
+                       <== values  columns ==>
+            row_name   category_1   category_2
+            ---------+------------+------------
+              row1        val1         val2
+              row2        val5         val6
+
+ Notes
+
+   1. The sql result must be ordered by 1,2.
+
+   2. The number of values columns is determined at run-time. The
+      column definition provided in the FROM clause must provide for
+      N + 1 columns of the proper data types.
+
+   3. Missing values (i.e. not enough adjacent rows of same row_name to
+      fill the number of result values columns) are filled in with nulls.
+
+   4. Extra values (i.e. too many adjacent rows of same row_name to fill
+      the number of result values columns) are skipped.
+
+   5. Rows with all nulls in the values columns are skipped.
+
+
+ Example usage
+
+ create table ct(id serial, rowclass text, rowid text, attribute text, value text);
+ insert into ct(rowclass, rowid, attribute, value) values('group1','test1','att1','val1');
+ insert into ct(rowclass, rowid, attribute, value) values('group1','test1','att2','val2');
+ insert into ct(rowclass, rowid, attribute, value) values('group1','test1','att3','val3');
+ insert into ct(rowclass, rowid, attribute, value) values('group1','test1','att4','val4');
+ insert into ct(rowclass, rowid, attribute, value) values('group1','test2','att1','val5');
+ insert into ct(rowclass, rowid, attribute, value) values('group1','test2','att2','val6');
+ insert into ct(rowclass, rowid, attribute, value) values('group1','test2','att3','val7');
+ insert into ct(rowclass, rowid, attribute, value) values('group1','test2','att4','val8');
+
+ SELECT *
+ FROM crosstab(
+   'select rowid, attribute, value
+    from ct
+    where rowclass = ''group1''
+    and (attribute = ''att2'' or attribute = ''att3'') order by 1,2;', 3)
+ AS ct(row_name text, category_1 text, category_2 text, category_3 text);
