2002-01-09Make spelling of operating system names match official version closely.Peter Eisentraut
And listing QNX 6 as both supported and unsupported is probably not helpful.

pg_regress doesn't see it and you don't get any port-specific comparisons.

2002-01-07Add variants of digest() and hmac() that accept text inputs.Tom Lane
Marko Kreen says: This is so obvious that I would like to make it 'official'. Seems like the theology around bytea<>text casting kept me from seeing the simple :)
2002-01-07Tweak LWLock algorithms so that an awakened waiter for a lock is notTom Lane
granted the lock when awakened; the signal now only means that the lock is potentially available. The waiting process must retry its attempt to get the lock when it gets to run. This allows the lock releasing process to re-acquire the lock later in its timeslice. Since LWLocks are usually held for short periods, it is possible for a process to acquire and release the same lock many times in a timeslice. The old spinlock-based implementation of these locks allowed for that; but the original coding of LWLock would force a process swap for each acquisition if there was any contention. Although this approach reopens the door to process starvation (a waiter might repeatedly fail to get the lock), the odds of that being a big problem seem low, and the performance cost of the previous approach is considerable.

2002-01-07Editorial reviewPeter Eisentraut
2002-01-06If we fail to fork a new backend process, (try to) report the failureTom Lane
to the client before closing the connection. Before 7.2 this was done correctly, but new code would simply close the connection with no report to the client.
2002-01-06Fix ecpg wording to be consistent.Bruce Momjian

Some items are done, others > are on the main TODO list. That's correct. I did not fix the docs for quite some time. Michael -- Michael Meskes
2002-01-06Fix copy-and-paste brain damage. (These commands do not create aTom Lane
database.)
2002-01-06Add CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() in various strategic spots, per commentsTom Lane
from Hiroshi.
2002-01-05Bugfix for bug reported by Marcus Better (marcus@dactylis.com). When preformingBarry Lind
a get on a bytea value the code was running the raw value from the server through character set conversion, which if the character set was SQL_ASCII would cause all 8bit characters to become ?'s.

2002-01-04Fix some incorrect and obsolete commentary.Tom Lane
2002-01-04Add more complete details on date/time keywords and parsing rules.Thomas G. Lockhart
Move some tabular information on these from the chapter on data types to the appendix on dates and times.
2002-01-04Have to_date() call timestamptz_date() per Karel's email instructions.Thomas G. Lockhart
Fixes time zone problems introduced by Thomas' implementation of TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE which caused the behavior of the previously appropriate routine, timestamp_date(), to change for the worse in this context.

< * Allow only owner to create indexes
2002-01-03Require ownership permission for CREATE INDEX, per bug report.Tom Lane
Disallow CREATE INDEX on system catalogs, non-tables (views, sequences, etc). Disallow CREATE/DROP TRIGGER on system catalogs, non-tables. Disallow ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP CONSTRAINT on system catalogs. Disallow FOREIGN KEY reference to non-table. None of these things can actually work in the present system structure, but the code was letting them pass without complaint.
2002-01-03Instead of waiting a fixed amount of time for the test postmaster toTom Lane
start up, wait until a psql connection attempt succeeds. Per gripe from Jason Tishler.
