2006-12-15Put JST back into the default set of timezone abbreviations;Tom Lane
was removed in an unexplainable moment of brain fade.
2006-12-15Back out double-run of PDF/PS output. Requires building bookindex.sgmlBruce Momjian
properly. Remove SGML docs about openjade performance patch, and instead add comment in style sheet where indenting code is commented out. Backpatch to 8.2.X.
2006-12-15Drop indentation of verbatim environments in print output. This increasedPeter Eisentraut
the build time by what seemed like infinity.
2006-12-15Document patch needed to get PDF and PS output in a reasonable amount ofBruce Momjian
time.
2006-12-15Run Jade twice when outputting Postscript and PDF so the index isBruce Momjian
correct, add comments about other multiple runs in the Makefile. Backpatch to 8.2.X.
2006-12-14Make --with-ldap build on Unixware, per Olivier Prenant.Tom Lane
2006-12-12Fix planner to do the right thing when a degenerate outer join (one whoseTom Lane
joinclause doesn't use any outer-side vars) requires a "bushy" plan to be created. The normal heuristic to avoid joins with no joinclause has to be overridden in that case. Problem is new in 8.2; before that we forced the outer join order anyway. Per example from Teodor.
2006-12-12Document that log_line_prefix %t does not print timezone on Win32.Bruce Momjian
2006-12-12Collect the bits of wisdom about dtrace installation in the installationPeter Eisentraut
chapter rather than scattering them across several incomplete fragments. (This makes the documentation consistent with the backported FAQ_Solaris.)
2006-12-11Backpatch FAQ entry for null concatenation.Bruce Momjian
2006-12-08Avoid double free of _SPI_current->tuptable. AtEOSubXact_SPI() now tries toTom Lane
release it in a subtransaction abort, but this neglects possibility that someone outside SPI already did. Fix is for spi.c to forget about a tuptable as soon as it's handed it back to the caller. Per bug #2817 from Michael Andreen.
2006-12-07Repair incorrect placement of WHERE clauses when there are multiple,Tom Lane
rearrangeable outer joins and the WHERE clause is non-strict and mentions only nullable-side relations. New bug in 8.2, caused by new logic to allow rearranging outer joins. Per bug #2807 from Ross Cohen; thanks to Jeff Davis for producing a usable test case.
2006-12-06Fix planning of SubLinks to ensure that Vars generated from transformation ofTom Lane
a sublink's test expression have the correct vartypmod, rather than defaulting to -1. There's at least one place where this is important because we're expecting these Vars to be exactly equal() to those appearing in the subplan itself. This is a pretty klugy solution --- it would likely be cleaner to change Param nodes to include a typmod field --- but we can't do that in the already-released 8.2 branch. Per bug report from Hubert Fongarnand.
2006-12-06Clean up psql -c documentation that uses \\.Bruce Momjian
2006-12-05Fix documentation example of using psql \x with a SELECT command, perBruce Momjian
Simon Riggs. Backpatch to 8.2.X.

2006-12-04Patch of Win32 Encoding problem for server messages usingBruce Momjian
FormatMessage() (This should have been in 8.2.0, patched to 8.2.X and HEAD): I think this problem to be complex.... http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-11/msg00042.php FormatMessage of windows cannot consider the encoding of the database. However, I should try the solution now. It is necessary to clear the problem. Multi character-code exists together in message and log. It doesn't consider the data base encoding that the user intended.... The user in multi-byte country can try this. http://inet.winpg.jp/~saito/pg_bug/MessageCheck.c That is, it is likely to become it in this manner.(Japanese) http://inet.winpg.jp/~saito/pg_bug/FormatMessage998.png Hiroshi Saito
2006-12-04Fix core dump of ispell for case of non-successfull initialization.Teodor Sigaev
Previous versions aren't affected. Fix synonym dictionary init: string should be malloc'ed, not palloc'ed. Bug introduced recently while fixing lowerstr().
2006-12-03Fix LIMIT/OFFSET for null limit values. This worked before 8.2 but was brokenTom Lane
by the change to make limit values int8 instead of int4. (Specifically, you can do DatumGetInt32 safely on a null value, but not DatumGetInt64.) Per bug #2803 from Greg Johnson.

2006-12-01Editorial improvements for GIN documentation.Tom Lane
2006-12-01Some more supported-platforms updates: buildfarm hare is alive again,Tom Lane
and penguin reported in recently enough to justify the assumption that we haven't broken ARM support in 8.2.
2006-12-01Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-levelTom Lane
locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost. It seems unlikely that we will be able to fix this before 8.3...
2006-12-01Make the bgwriter's error recovery path do smgrcloseall(). On Windows thisTom Lane
should allow delete-pending files to actually go away, and thereby work around the various complaints we've seen about 'permission denied' errors in such cases. Should be reasonably harmless in any case...

2006-12-01Minor wording improvements.Tom Lane
2006-12-01Adjust the description of locking to clarify that locks held by aTom Lane
subtransaction are released if the subtransaction aborts --- in user-level terminology, this means either rolling back to a savepoint or escaping from a plpgsql exception block. Per recent suggestion from Simon.

2006-11-30Minor adjustments to make failures in startup/shutdown behave more cleanly.Tom Lane
StartupXLOG and ShutdownXLOG no longer need to be critical sections, because in all contexts where they are invoked, elog(ERROR) would be translated to elog(FATAL) anyway. (One change in bgwriter.c is needed to make this true: set ExitOnAnyError before trying to exit. This is a good fix anyway since the existing code would have gone into an infinite loop on elog(ERROR) during shutdown.) That avoids a misleading report of PANIC during semi-orderly failures. Modify the postmaster to include the startup process in the set of processes that get SIGTERM when a fast shutdown is requested, and also fix it to not try to restart the bgwriter if the bgwriter fails while trying to write the shutdown checkpoint. Net result is that "pg_ctl stop -m fast" does something reasonable for a system in warm standby mode, and so should Unix system shutdown (ie, universal SIGTERM). Per gripe from Stephen Harris and some corner-case testing of my own.
2006-11-30Fix bug with page deletion. If inner page is removed and it tries toTeodor Sigaev
remove page on next level linked from next inner page, ginScanToDelete() wrongly sets parent page. Bug reveals when many item pointers from index was deleted ( several hundred thousands). Bug is discovered by hubert depesz lubaczewski <depesz@gmail.com> Suppose, we need rc2 before release...

2006-11-28Update timezone data to tzdata2006p zic distribution. It seems WesternTom Lane
Australia decided to institute DST with one month's notice ... way to go, politicians.
2006-11-28Mark to_char(timestamp without timezone) as stable, not immutable, since itsTom Lane
result now depends on the lc_messages setting, as noted by Bruce. Also, mark to_number() and the numeric-type variants of to_char() as stable, because their results depend on lc_numeric; this is a longstanding oversight. Also, mark to_date() and to_char(interval) as stable; although these appear not to depend on any GUC variables as of CVS HEAD, that seems a property unlikely to survive future improvements. It seems best to mark all the formatting functions stable and be done with it. catversion not bumped, because this does not seem critical enough to force a post-RC1 initdb, and anyway we cannot do so in the back branches.
2006-11-28Fix some translator comments so that xgettext finds them and pgindent doesPeter Eisentraut
not destroy them. Maybe we can adjust pgindent sometime.
