2011-05-25Put options in some sensible orderPeter Eisentraut
For the --help output and reference pages of pg_dump, pg_dumpall, pg_restore, put the options in some consistent, mostly alphabetical, and consistent order, rather than newest option last or something like that.
2011-05-22Put lists in sensible orderPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-22Put documentation of backslash commands back in alphabetical orderPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-22Clarify the documentation of the --with-ossp-uuid optionPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-19Rename pg_dump --no-security-label to --no-security-labelsPeter Eisentraut
Other similar options also use the plural form.
2011-05-19Remove obsolete commentPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-19Spell checking and markup refinementPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-19/contrib/foo -> contrib/fooPeter Eisentraut
Since contrib is a relative directory specification, a leading slash is inappropriate.
2011-05-16Remove redundant privilege doc sentences.Bruce Momjian
2011-05-16Allow pg_upgrade to honor libpq environment variables. Add 'local'Bruce Momjian
checks for PGHOST and PGHOSTADDR.
2011-05-13More cleanup of FOREIGN TABLE permissions handling.Robert Haas
This commit fixes psql, pg_dump, and the information schema to be consistent with the backend changes which I made as part of commit be90032e0d1cf473bdd99aee94218218f59f29f1, and also includes a related documentation tweak. Shigeru Hanada, with slight adjustment.
2011-05-10Be more explicit about the meaning of the change in standard_conforming_strings.Tom Lane
2011-05-10Mention "backslash" escape processing change in 9.1 release notes.Bruce Momjian
2011-05-10Add some punctuationPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-10Put options in more alphabetical orderPeter Eisentraut
2011-05-10Adjust documentation with respect to "unknown" timezone setting.Tom Lane
The recent cleanup of GUC assign hooks got rid of the kludge of using "unknown" as a magic value for timezone and log_timezone. But I forgot to update the documentation to match, as noted by Martin Pitt.
2011-05-09Documentation cleanup for the possible values of the datatype 'boolean'.Bruce Momjian
2011-05-09Update documentation to state there is three-value logic, notBruce Momjian
three-value boolean logic. Backpatch to 9.0.X since we just got another bug report about this today.
2011-05-07Add xreflabels to /contrib manuals so links appear correct. Also updateBruce Momjian
README.links to explain xref properly.

2011-05-05Improve style of generate_history.pl Perl script.Bruce Momjian
2011-05-04Include unary plus in the Operator Precedence table.Tom Lane
Per gripe from Grzegorz Szpetkowski. Also, change the subsection heading from "Lexical Precedence" (which is a contradiction in terms) to "Operator Precedence".

2011-05-02Small cleanup of spacing in verbatim DocBook elementsPeter Eisentraut
2011-04-28The arguments to pg_ctl kill are not optional - remove brackets in the docs.Heikki Linnakangas

2011-04-27Make a quick copy-editing pass over the 9.1 release notes.Tom Lane
Also remove the material about this being an alpha release. The notes still need a lot of work, but they're more or less presentable as a beta version now.
2011-04-27Add comments about the need to avoid uninitialized bits in datatype values.Tom Lane
There was already one recommendation in the documentation about writing C functions to ensure padding bytes are zeroes, but make it stronger. Also fix an example that was still using direct assignment to a varlena length word, which no longer works since the varvarlena changes.
2011-04-27Doc wording improvement for NUMERIC limit paragraph.Bruce Momjian
2011-04-26Reword documentation for NUMERIC with no specified precision.Bruce Momjian
2011-04-26Clarify that a non-specified precision NUMERIC has a very high range.Bruce Momjian
2011-04-25Remove partial and undocumented GRANT .. FOREIGN TABLE support.Robert Haas
Instead, foreign tables are treated just like views: permissions can be granted using GRANT privilege ON [TABLE] foreign_table_name TO role, and revoked similarly. GRANT/REVOKE .. FOREIGN TABLE is no longer supported, just as we don't support GRANT/REVOKE .. VIEW. The set of accepted permissions for foreign tables is now identical to the set for regular tables, and views. Per report from Thom Brown, and subsequent discussion.
2011-04-25Normalize whitespace in the arguments of <indexterm>Peter Eisentraut
Strip leading and trailing whitespace and replace interior whitespace by a single space. This avoids problems with the index generator producing duplicate index entries for terms that differ only in whitespace. Commit dca30da3433c40b5f92f1704c496cda052decef9 actually fixed all the indexterm elements that would cause this problem at the moment, but in case it sneaks in again, we're set.
2011-04-23Adjust comments about collate.linux.utf8 regression test.Tom Lane
This test should now work in any database with UTF8 encoding, regardless of the database's default locale. The former restriction was really "doesn't work if default locale is C", and that was because of not handling mbstowcs/wcstombs correctly.
2011-04-22Make a code-cleanup pass over the collations patch.Tom Lane
This patch is almost entirely cosmetic --- mostly cleaning up a lot of neglected comments, and fixing code layout problems in places where the patch made lines too long and then pgindent did weird things with that. I did find a bug-of-omission in equalTupleDescs().
2011-04-21Improve doc wording for SQL syntax of LIMIT/OFFSET.Bruce Momjian
2011-04-20Allow ALTER TYPE .. ADD ATTRIBUTE .. CASCADE to recurse to descendants.Robert Haas
Without this, adding an attribute to a typed table with an inheritance child fails, which is surprising. Noah Misch, with minor changes by me.
2011-04-20Allow ALTER TABLE name {OF type | NOT OF}.Robert Haas
This syntax allows a standalone table to be made into a typed table, or a typed table to be made standalone. This is possibly a mildly useful feature in its own right, but the real motivation for this change is that we need it to make pg_upgrade work with typed tables. This doesn't actually fix that problem, but it's necessary infrastructure. Noah Misch
2011-04-17Document COLLATE option in CREATE TYPE reference page.Tom Lane
Curiously, it was already documented in ALTER TYPE ADD ATTRIBUTE, but not here.
2011-04-17Support a COLLATE clause in plpgsql variable declarations.Tom Lane
This allows the usual rules for assigning a collation to a local variable to be overridden. Per discussion, it seems appropriate to support this rather than forcing all local variables to have the argument-derived collation.
2011-04-15Note that Bison on GnuWin32 has trouble with paths with spacesMagnus Hagander

2011-04-15Specify which versions of the Platform SDK are supportedMagnus Hagander
Anything including Visual Studio 2010 compilers is not yet supported for building on Windows.
2011-04-15Rename pg_regress option --multibyte to --encodingPeter Eisentraut
Also refactor things a little bit so that the same methods for setting test locale and encoding can be used everywhere.
2011-04-14Update release notes for releases 9.0.4, 8.4.8, 8.3.15, and 8.2.21.Tom Lane
2011-04-14Advise Debian/Ubuntu users to use openjade1.3.Robert Haas
The latest openjade packages for Ubuntu 10.10 seg fault when building our documentation. Josh Berkus
2011-04-13Add some useful cross-references to the CREATE EXTENSION reference page.Tom Lane
Per a suggestion from Josh Kupershmidt, though I modified his patch quite a lot.
