2003-10-05Update MySQL mention.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-04Document the always-true-but-previously-undocumented fact that PQfnumber()Tom Lane
will downcase the supplied field name unless it is double-quoted. Also, upgrade the routine's handling of double quotes to match the backend, in particular support doubled double quotes within quoted identifiers. Per pgsql-interfaces discussion a couple weeks ago.

2003-10-04Change transaction status indicator in prompt from %T to %x.Peter Eisentraut
2003-10-03Add GUC parameter check_function_bodies to control whether validationTom Lane
of function bodies is done at CREATE FUNCTION time. This is normally true but can be set false to avoid problems with forward references, wrong schema search path, etc. This is just the backend patch, still need to adjust pg_dump to make use of it.
2003-10-03Cause PQescapeString to stop processing at a null character, ratherTom Lane
than generating an invalid output string. Per observation and patch from Igor Shevchenko. Further code cleanup and documentation by Tom Lane.

A couple other minor fixes.

2003-09-30Use slightly less broken markup.Tom Lane
2003-09-29Adjust btree index build procedure so that the btree metapage looksTom Lane
invalid (has the wrong magic number) until the build is entirely complete. This turns out to cost no additional writes in the normal case, since we were rewriting the metapage at the end of the process anyway. In normal scenarios there's no real gain in security, because a failed index build would roll back the transaction leaving an unused index file, but for rebuilding shared system indexes this seems to add some useful protection.

2003-09-25Update Japanese FAQ, from Jun KuwamuraBruce Momjian
2003-09-24Repair some REINDEX problems per recent discussions. The relcache isTom Lane
now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method. This leaves only shared system indexes as special cases. Remove the 'index deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared- index case. Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX. -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes) now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates. It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS. Upshot: reindexing system catalogs can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except shared catalogs.
2003-09-23pg_dump/pg_restore now always use SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION, not \connect,Tom Lane
to control object ownership. The use-set-session-authorization and no-reconnect switches are obsolete (still accepted on the command line, but they don't do anything). This is a precursor to fixing handling of CREATE SCHEMA, which will be a separate commit.

2003-09-19Document that TRUNCATE ignores user-defined ON DELETE triggers.Tom Lane
2003-09-19Disallow foreign-key references from temp tables to permanent tables.Tom Lane
Per recent discussion, this does not work because other backends can't reliably see tuples in a temp table and so cannot run the RI checks correctly. Seems better to disallow this case than go back to accessing temp tables through shared buffers. Also, disallow FK references to ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS tables. We already caught this problem for normal TRUNCATE, but the path used by ON COMMIT didn't check.
2003-09-18Put a tad more detail in the discussion of postmaster and postgresTom Lane
signal handling.

2003-09-13When I sent in the sslmode patch I forgot to update theBruce Momjian
