2007-02-20Update pgpass Win32 wording.Bruce Momjian
2007-02-20Update information_schema documentation to match system tables.Bruce Momjian
Backpatch to 8.2.X.
2007-02-20Wording improvement.Bruce Momjian
2007-02-20More clearly document that most PostgreSQL utilities support libpqBruce Momjian
environment variables. Backpatch to 8.2.X.
2007-02-20Adjust user-facing documentation to explain why we don't check pgpassTom Lane
file permissions on Windows.
2007-02-20Remove the Query structure from the executor's API. This allows us to stopTom Lane
storing mostly-redundant Query trees in prepared statements, portals, etc. To replace Query, a new node type called PlannedStmt is inserted by the planner at the top of a completed plan tree; this carries just the fields of Query that are still needed at runtime. The statement lists kept in portals etc. now consist of intermixed PlannedStmt and bare utility-statement nodes --- no Query. This incidentally allows us to remove some fields from Query and Plan nodes that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Still to do: simplify the execution-time range table; at the moment the range table passed to the executor still contains Query trees for subqueries. initdb forced due to change of stored rules.
2007-02-20Remove, item not needed for Win32:Bruce Momjian

2007-02-20Add comment that on Win32, we don't need to check the .pgpass fileBruce Momjian
permission, per Magnus.
2007-02-20Remove "History" sections for pg_dump and pg_restore. I don't thinkBruce Momjian
anyone cares because the last history change was for PostgreSQL 7.1.

2007-02-20Comment-out documentation for IS OF because it doesn't conform to theBruce Momjian

2007-02-19Clarify documentation for "day of the week" handling for to_char() andBruce Momjian

< o Add long file support for binary pg_dump output < < While Win32 supports 64-bit files, the MinGW API does not, < meaning we have to build an fseeko replacement on top of the < Win32 API, and we have to make sure MinGW handles it.

binary dump formats.
2007-02-19Parse pg_proc.h with entries without OIDs.Magnus Hagander
2007-02-19Get rid of some old and crufty global variables in the planner. WhenTom Lane
this code was last gone over, there wasn't really any alternative to globals because we didn't have the PlannerInfo struct being passed all through the planner code. Now that we do, we can restructure things to avoid non-reentrancy. I'm fooling with this because otherwise I'd have had to add another global variable for the planned compact range table list.
2007-02-19Improve plpgsql's error message when a datatype declaration is omitted.Tom Lane
Per example from Jeff Ross.
2007-02-19Put function expressions and values lists into FunctionScan and ValuesScanTom Lane
plan nodes, so that the executor does not need to get these items from the range table at runtime. This will avoid needing to include these fields in the compact range table I'm expecting to make the executor use.
2007-02-18Fix portal management code to support non-default command completion tags forTom Lane
portals using PORTAL_UTIL_SELECT strategy. This is currently significant only for FETCH queries, which are supposed to include a count in the tag. Seems it's been broken since 7.4, but nobody noticed before Knut Lehre.

2007-02-18Update "Conflicting lock modes" to show as conflict, addBruce Momjian
current/requested headings, add link to table from text.
2007-02-17Add code so that when COPY_PARSE_PLAN_TREES is defined, the copy andTom Lane
equal functions are checked for raw parse trees as well as post-analysis trees. This was never very important before, but the upcoming plan cache control module will need to be able to do copyObject() on raw parse trees.
2007-02-17Remove rint() for to_char MS and US output. We can't us rint() becauseBruce Momjian
we can't overflow to the next higher units, and we might print the lower units for MS.
