Highlights:
patternoptionThis PR adds four more options to
FilesystemFdw:escape_pattern(default:TRUE)If TRUE, the pattern used to match files is escaped before it is
used for regular expression matching. If FALSE, the pattern used to
match files is used as is and it is assumed to be a valid regular
expression.
ignore_case(default:FALSE)If FALSE, the pattern used to match files is case sensitive. If
TRUE, the pattern used to match files is case insensitive.
mtime_columnIf set, defines which column will contain the file mtime.
ctime_columnIf set, defines which column will contain the file ctime.
With this PR, the following example is supported:
CREATE FOREIGN TABLE foo ( filename VARCHAR, mtime TIMESTAMP, ctime TIMESTAMP, foo VARCHAR, bar VARCHAR, taz VARCHAR ) SERVER filesystem_srv OPTIONS ( root_dir '/f', pattern '{taz}/{foo}[ _-]{bar}\.(jpe?g|png)', escape_pattern 'FALSE', ignore_case 'TRUE', filename_column 'filename', mtime_column 'mtime', ctime_column 'ctime'); SELECT * FROM foo;Notice the regular expression used for the
patternoption which allows for thefooandbartokens to be separated by,_, or-. Also, the file extensions can be.jpg,.jpeg, or.png, case insensitive.Fix for #203
