2010-08-26Document the existence of the socket lock file under unix_socket_directory,Tom Lane

2010-08-23Make an editorial pass over the 9.0 release notes.Tom Lane

2010-08-22Document that autovacuum_freeze_max_age is used for pg_clog recycling.Bruce Momjian
We already mentioned xid wraparound.
2010-08-19Bring some sanity to the trace_recovery_messages code and docs.Tom Lane
Per gripe from Fujii Masao, though this is not exactly his proposed patch. Categorize as DEVELOPER_OPTIONS and set context PGC_SIGHUP, as per Fujii, but set the default to LOG because higher values aren't really sensible (see the code for trace_recovery()). Fix the documentation to agree with the code and to try to explain what the variable actually does. Get rid of no-op calls trace_recovery(LOG), which accomplish nothing except to demonstrate that this option confuses even its author.

2010-08-11Fix incorrect errno definitions in ECPG manual.Robert Haas
ecpgerrno.h hasn't materially changed since PostgreSQL 7.4, so this has been wrong for a very long time. Back-patch all the way. Satoshi Nagayasu
2010-08-10Add some links to tablesPeter Eisentraut
2010-08-10<example> is a floating element, so it's use is inappropriate when thePeter Eisentraut
surrounding text refers to the example inline.
2010-08-10Use double quotes rather than double quotes for libpq target anchors.Robert Haas
