2005-08-22Update documentation that non-super users can now do ALTER OWNER.Bruce Momjian
2005-08-22Cause ALTER INDEX OWNER to generate a warning and do nothing, rather thanTom Lane
erroring out as it has done for the last couple weeks. Document that this form is now ignored because indexes can't usefully have different owners from their parent tables. Fix pg_dump to not generate ALTER OWNER commands for indexes.
2005-08-22enable_constraint_exclusion => constraint_exclusionBruce Momjian
Also improve wording.
2005-08-21Minor GUC cleanups: document krb_server_hostname and custom_variable_classesTom Lane
in postgresql.conf.sample, mark custom_variable_classes as SIGHUP not POSTMASTER to agree with the documentation (I can't see a reason it has to be POSTMASTER so I think the docs are right).

2005-08-15Rename pg_stat_file columns to be more consistent. Split apart changeBruce Momjian
and creation columns to behave for Unix or Win32.
2005-08-15Clean up some stray remaining references to pg_shadow, pg_user, pg_group.Tom Lane
2005-08-14Update administrator's guide chapters for ROLEs patch.Tom Lane
2005-08-14Change standard_compliant_strings to standard_conforming_strings.Peter Eisentraut
2005-08-14Update the createuser utility for the ROLEs world. Alvaro HerreraTom Lane
2005-08-14Fix up tab completion for ROLEs and add some more completion logic forTom Lane
other stuff; change \du and \dg to be role-aware (Stefan Kaltenbrunner). Also make tab completion fetch the list of GUC variables from pg_settings instead of having a hard-wired copy of the list (Tom Lane).
2005-08-13Make pg_stat_file() use OUT parameters so that the user doesn't have toTom Lane
remember the output parameter set for himself. It's a bit of a kluge but fixing array_in to work in bootstrap mode looks worse. I removed the separate pg_file_length() function, as it no longer has any real notational advantage --- you can write (pg_stat_file(...)).length.
2005-08-13CREATE TABLE has optional column names, so change {} to [].Bruce Momjian
Alvaro.

2005-08-12Pass the type OID as the typioparam for all non-array types, rather thanTom Lane
only composite types as we did in 8.0. Per discussion with Martijn van Oosterhout.
2005-08-12Improve documention on loading large data sets into plperl.Bruce Momjian
David Fetter
2005-08-12Code & docs review for server instrumentation patch. File timestampsTom Lane
should surely be timestamptz not timestamp; fix some but not all of the holes in check_and_make_absolute(); other minor cleanup. Also put in the missed catversion bump.
2005-08-12Add markup for GUC mention in docs.Bruce Momjian
2005-08-12Add files to do read I/O on the cluster directory:Bruce Momjian
pg_stat_file() pg_read_file() pg_ls_dir() pg_reload_conf() pg_rotate_logfile() Dave Page Andreas Pflug
2005-08-12Solve the problem of OID collisions by probing for duplicate OIDsTom Lane
whenever we generate a new OID. This prevents occasional duplicate-OID errors that can otherwise occur once the OID counter has wrapped around. Duplicate relfilenode values are also checked for when creating new physical files. Per my recent proposal.
2005-08-11Autovacuum loose end mop-up. Provide autovacuum-specific vacuum costTom Lane
delay and limit, both as global GUCs and as table-specific entries in pg_autovacuum. stats_reset_on_server_start is now OFF by default, but a reset is forced if we did WAL replay. XID-wrap vacuums do not ANALYZE, but do FREEZE if it's a template database. Alvaro Herrera
