2005-12-08there's a paragraph in the ALTER TABLE reference page that reads:Bruce Momjian
DROP CONSTRAINT This form drops constraints on a table. Currently, constraints on tables are not required to have unique names, so there may be more than one constraint matching the specified name. All matching constraints will be dropped. To my knowledge, it is no longer possible to create constraints with the same name for the same relation. When you create a constraint and specify the same name explictly, an error is raised. Implicit constraint creation won't choose an existing name either and up to now you could not rename a constraint. Renaming works with the patch I sent in a few hours ago but this patch as well won't allow constraints with identical names on the same relation. The attached patch thus removes the note in the docs.

2005-12-06Documentation cleanup mention:Bruce Momjian
non-ascii convert to & escapes
2005-12-06Since my name has a non-ascii-letter in it, it's often spelled wrong. InBruce Momjian
the latest release notes there is a latin1 character that shouldn't be there so I made a patch to fix that. This patch also fixes some old entries that uses o instead of &ouml; (which is also wrong but not as bad as including a latin1 character in the sgml file). Dennis Bj?rklund

2005-12-04Add configure flag to allow libedit to be preferred over GNU readline:Bruce Momjian
--with-libedit-preferred prefer BSD Libedit over GNU Readline
2005-12-03Allow to_char(interval) and to_char(time) to use AM/PM specifications.Bruce Momjian
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'. Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours. This is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function. Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion. Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.
