2007-02-01Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot.Bruce Momjian
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways: may - permission, "You may borrow my rake." can - ability, "I can lift that log." might - possibility, "It might rain today." Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash". Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.
2007-01-31Update FreeBSD DocBook installation noticesTeodor Sigaev
2007-01-31Allow GIN's extractQuery method to signal that nothing can satisfy the query.Teodor Sigaev
In this case extractQuery should returns -1 as nentries. This changes prototype of extractQuery method to use int32* instead of uint32* for nentries argument. Based on that gincostestimate may see two corner cases: nothing will be found or seqscan should be used. Per proposal at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-01/msg01581.php PS tsearch_core patch should be sightly modified to support changes, but I'm waiting a verdict about reviewing of tsearch_core patch.

2007-01-30Update documentation for backslashes to mention escape string syntaxBruce Momjian
more, and standard_conforming_strings less, because in the future non-E strings will not treat backslashes specially. Also use E'' strings where backslashes are used in examples. (The existing examples would have drawn warnings.) Backpatch to 8.2.X.
