Changes by: momjian@svr1.postgresql.org 04/03/04 23:24:50
Modified files:
contrib/xml : Makefile README.pgxml pgxml.sql.in
Added files:
contrib/xml : xpath.c xslt_proc.c
Removed files:
contrib/xml : TODO pgxml.c pgxml.h pgxml_dom.c
pgxml_dom.sql.in
Log message:
Thanks to the generous support of Torchbox (http://www.torchbox.com), I
have been able to significantly improve the contrib/xml XPath
integration code.
New features:
* XPath set-returning function allows multiple results from an several
XPath queries to be used as a virtual table.
* Using libxslt, XSLT transformations (with and without parameters) are
supported. (Caution: This support allows generic URL fetching from
within the backend as well).
I've removed the old code so that it is all libxml based. Rather than
attach as a patch, I've put the tar.gz (10k!) at
http://www.azuli.co.uk/pgxml-1.0.tar.gz
(all files in archive are xml/....).
I think this is worth replacing the contrib version with, even though
the function names have changed (though the same functionality is
there), because it includes a SRF and some SPI usage, in addition to
linking to an external library. And it isn't a big module! Obviously, I
understand that people might prefer to move it elsewhere, or might have
reservations about replacing an existing contrib module with an
incompatible one. I'm open to suggestions.

Shouldn't we make this a totally new 'xml2' contrib, like we did for
tsearch2?
Especially since it is backwards incompatible and has a huge security
hole? (url fetching)

Done. I kept the old version in /xml, and put the new version in xml2.
I updated the contrib README. Not sure why I didn't think of this
myself.
