2005-01-30Preliminary release notes for 8.0.1, 7.4.7, 7.3.9, 7.2.7.Tom Lane
2005-01-29We haven't had a fixed limit on rule recursion depth since 7.3 ...Tom Lane
but the documentation still said so.
2005-01-29Make sure contrib C functions are marked strict where needed.Tom Lane
Kris Jurka
2005-01-28Add documentation for format_type(), which somehow escaped it before.Tom Lane
2005-01-28Add note cautioning that you can't use an encrypting IDENT serverTom Lane
with Postgres.
2005-01-28When dealing with multiple grouping columns coming from the same table,Tom Lane
clamp the estimated number of groups to table row count over 10, instead of table row count; this reflects a heuristic that people probably won't group over a near-unique set of columns, and the knowledge that we don't currently have any way to estimate the correlation of the columns better than guessing. This change creates a trivial plan change in one of the regression tests.
2005-01-28Improve planner's estimation of the space needed for HashAgg plans:Tom Lane
look at the actual aggregate transition datatypes and the actual overhead needed by nodeAgg.c, instead of using pessimistic round numbers. Per a discussion with Michael Tiemann.
2005-01-28pg_aggregate.h fails to compile standalone, for lack of an #includeTom Lane
defining List.
2005-01-28Adjust mkdir_p to do stat() before trying mkdir(). Avoids problems onTom Lane
Solaris and should be a little faster anyway, since in most scenarios all but perhaps the last path component will already exist.
2005-01-27Check that aggregate creator has the right to execute the transitionTom Lane
functions of the aggregate, at both aggregate creation and execution times.
2005-01-27Small patch to move get_grosysid() from catalog/aclchk.c toNeil Conway
utils/cache/lsyscache.c where it can be used by other things. Also cleans up both get_usesysid() and get_grosysid() a bit. From Stephen Frost.
2005-01-27Change heap_modifytuple() to require a TupleDesc rather than aNeil Conway
Relation. Patch from Alvaro Herrera, minor editorializing by Neil Conway.
2005-01-27Now that I look at it, int_array_enum() didn't work either.Tom Lane
2005-01-27Fix security and 64-bit issues in contrib/intagg. This code couldTom Lane
stand to be rewritten altogether, but for now just stick a finger in the dike.
2005-01-27Add intset() to READMETeodor Sigaev
2005-01-27Provide a more descriptive error message when the return type of an SRFNeil Conway
does not match what the query expected. From Brendan Jurd, minor editorializing by Neil Conway.
2005-01-27Generalize TRUNCATE to support truncating multiple tables in oneTom Lane
command. This is useful because we can allow truncation of tables referenced by foreign keys, so long as the referencing table is truncated in the same command. Alvaro Herrera
2005-01-27Add regression tests for recent cursor/savepoint bug fixed by Alvaro andNeil Conway
Tom.
2005-01-26Close all cursors created during a failed subtransaction. This is neededTom Lane
to avoid problems when a cursor depends on objects created or changed in the same subtransaction. We'd like to do better someday, but this seems the only workable answer for 8.0.1.
2005-01-26Adjust Windows autovacuum service to retry for up to 5 minutes waitingTom Lane
for the postmaster to start. Dave Page
2005-01-26On Windows, set the postmaster executable's stack size to 4MB, so thatTom Lane
it agrees with the default value of max_stack_depth.
2005-01-26Minor tweak to avoid unnecessary memory bloat when dumping extremely wideTom Lane
column values in -d mode. Per report from Marty Scholes. This doesn't completely solve the issue, because we still need multiple copies of the field value, but at least one copy can be got rid of painlessly ...
2005-01-26Add docs for a couple of formerly-undocumented geometric conversion functions.Tom Lane
2005-01-26Make pg_dump and pg_restore handle binary archive formats correctlyTom Lane
when using stdout/stdin on Windows.
2005-01-26Use SHGetFolderPath instead of SHGetSpecialFolderPath to find theTom Lane
APPDATA directory on Windows. Magnus Hagander
2005-01-26Avoid unnecessary dependence on u_int16_t, per buildfarm failure.Tom Lane
(It doesn't compile on HPUX either...)
2005-01-26The attached patch implements the soundex difference function whichNeil Conway
compares two strings' soundex values for similarity, from Kris Jurka. Also mark the text_soundex() function as STRICT, to avoid crashing on NULL input.
2005-01-25Fix breakage created by addition of separate 'acl pass' in pg_dump.Tom Lane
Also clean up incredibly poor style in TocIDRequired() usage.
2005-01-25Add missing "ko".Peter Eisentraut
