missing history for pg_exec_query_string()

2011/3/23 Jaime Casanova <jaime@2ndquadrant.com>:

Hi,

I'm looking for the history of pg_exec_query_string() and found that
it dissapear in 7.4, so i tried to look at "git log" to find out if it
was renamed or removed completely and found only this 3 commits:
http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb?p=postgresql.git&amp;a=search&amp;h=cd48aa0e9636c6225d34f366a9d71e7fc118c9f3&amp;st=commit&amp;s=pg_exec_query_string,
and none of them removes or renames it...

i'm pretty sure exec_simple_query() is what we used to call
pg_exec_query_string() but i had to look for functions with similar
names and then compare the code, not very elegant :(

any idea what happens to this part of the history?

This :
git log --pretty=oneline -S'pg_exec_query_string' origin/REL7_4_STABLE
git show de28dc9a04c4df5d711815b7a518501b43535a26

give me the answer :

commit de28dc9a04c4df5d711815b7a518501b43535a26
Author: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us>

Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.
Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed
within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the
load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure
code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c,
so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries.
initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.

wonderful git :)
