2005-10-14Allow times of 24:00:00 to match rounding behavior:Bruce Momjian
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0); time ---------- 24:00:00 (1 row) This is bad because: regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0); ERROR: date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00" The last example now works.
2005-10-13Add documentation mentioning that there are separate regression testsTom Lane

2005-10-13Update krb_server_name to document that a missing entry defaults toBruce Momjian
'localhost'. Improve kerberos error message.
2005-10-13Update documentation to reflect the new ALTER OWNER rules for allTom Lane
affected types of objects.

2005-10-13Adjust the discussion of triggers to more clearly guide people in theTom Lane
direction of writing triggers in a procedural language, rather than C. Per discussion.
2005-10-13The patch updates the documentation to reflect the fact that higher valuesBruce Momjian
of client_min_messages (fatal + panic) are valid and also fixes a slight issue with how psql tried to display error messages that aren't sent to the client. We often tell people to ignore errors in response to requests for things like "drop if exists", but there's no good way to completely hide this without upping client_min_messages past ERROR. When running a file like SET client_min_messages TO 'FATAL'; DROP TABLE doesntexist; with "psql -f filename" you get an error prefix of "psql:/home/username/filename:3" even though there is no error message to prefix because it isn't sent to the client.

2005-10-13Some additional doc changes based around compression of page images inBruce Momjian
WAL and the interaction of the new full_page_writes parameter with PITR. The too-small WAL first sect1 has been merged with the one following sect1 for clarity. Some minor comments have been made in the WAL config section also. Passes SGML make and proofread for typos.

2005-10-11Release notes up to date as of today.Tom Lane
2005-10-10Remove the DELETEs from pg_shadow and pg_group that pg_dumpall used toTom Lane
emit when given the --clean option, in favor of individual DROP ROLE commands. The old technique could not possibly work in 8.1, and was never a very good idea anyway IMHO. The DROP ROLE approach has the defect that the DROPs will fail for roles that own objects or have privileges, but perhaps we can improve that later.

2005-10-06Minor tweaks for PL/PgSQL documentation.Neil Conway
2005-10-06Revise pgstats stuff to fix the problems with not counting accessesTom Lane
generated by bitmap index scans. Along the way, simplify and speed up the code for counting sequential and index scans; it was both confusing and inefficient to be taking care of that in the per-tuple loops, IMHO. initdb forced because of internal changes in pg_stat view definitions.

< * Have sequence dependency track use of DEFAULT sequences, < seqname.nextval? > * -Have sequence dependency track use of DEFAULT sequences
2005-10-02Change nextval and other sequence functions to specify their sequenceTom Lane
argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string. The frontend conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass. This provides backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument is explicitly typed as 'text'. When the argument is just an unadorned literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the stored representation will be an OID. This solves longstanding problems with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or moving them to another schema. All per recent discussion. Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).
