2004-03-05Improve documentation of virtual_host parameter: old text failed toTom Lane
indicate that you could specify multiple listen addresses.
2004-03-05First update of release notes for 7.4.2. Still needs work.Bruce Momjian
2004-03-05Oops, '-' doesn't work for my lynx either.Bruce Momjian
Change back to /dev/stdin, even though it isn't portable. Let's wait for someone to complain they don't have /dev/stdin.
2004-03-05Use '-' for stdin on lynx, my lynx version doesn't support -stdin.Bruce Momjian
2004-03-05Update Polish FAQ, from Marcin Mazurek.Bruce Momjian
2004-03-05Per a brief conversation with Tom, I've created a patch for addingBruce Momjian
support for 'week' within the date_trunc function. Within the patch I added a couple of test cases and associated target output, and changed the documentation to add 'week' appropriately. Robert Creager
2004-03-05Fix for underscore in ID sgml markup.Bruce Momjian
2004-03-05Add new SPI functions for use by PL/Java:Bruce Momjian
+extern Oid SPI_getargtypeid(void *plan, int argIndex); +extern int SPI_getargcount(void *plan); +extern bool SPI_is_cursor_plan(void *plan); Thomas Hallgren
2004-03-04Emit a warning when an empty string is input to the oid, float4, andNeil Conway
float8 types. This begins the deprecation of this feature: in 7.6, this input will be rejected. Also added a new error code for warnings about deprecated features, and updated the regression tests.
2004-03-04The trim function doc did not say that the second argument could beDennis Bjorklund
be omitted. This patch fixes that. It also fixes a bug where the type text was not wrapped as <type>text</type>.
2004-03-04Better document INSTEAD behavior for rules.Bruce Momjian
2004-03-03Add a few more cross-references where appropriate, add more text aboutNeil Conway
the FROM clause and an example to the UPDATE reference page, and make a few other SGML tweaks.
2004-03-02Update Turkish FAQ, Devrim GUNDUZBruce Momjian
2004-03-02Update release notes for 7.3.6.Tom Lane
2004-03-02Replace unportable use of /dev/stdin with lynx's -stdin switch.Tom Lane
2004-03-01Add a few more xrefs, where they seemed appropriate: for example, referNeil Conway
to the discussion of planner statistics in the documentation for the default_statistics_target GUC var.
2004-03-01Enable some additional warnings when running openjade and onsgmls.Neil Conway
2004-02-29Fix a typo in a recent commit to func.sgml that apparently broke the docNeil Conway
build for some versions of OpenJade (unfortunately, my local version of OpenJade didn't report the error...) -- thanks to Andrew Dunstan for the report.
2004-02-29Fix a bunch (~88) typos that the OpenJade tools don't warn about byNeil Conway
default: some SGML tags weren't properly terminated.
2004-02-27Fix a few omissions in the initcap() documentation & source codeNeil Conway
comments, make some unrelated improvements to the functions documentation, and perform some minor consistency cleanup elsewhere. Original initcap() change from Dennis B., additional changes by Neil C.
2004-02-27Update plpython docs to mention shared libs are possible in 2.3 orBruce Momjian
later.
2004-02-26Update the pl/python shared build docs to match the recent version ofBruce Momjian
python.
2004-02-23Do a direct probe during postmaster startup to determine the maximumTom Lane
number of openable files and the number already opened. This eliminates depending on sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX), and allows much saner behavior on platforms where open-file slots are used up by semaphores.
2004-02-22Document the family() function (added during the 7.4 dev cycle but notNeil Conway
documented), and fix a typo.
2004-02-17Remove a caveat from the "backup" documentation: pg_dump now does aNeil Conway
better job of handling dependencies between database objects.
2004-02-17Add a few more <xref> tags to the SGML docs, where appropriate. OriginalNeil Conway
patch from Michael Glaesemann, additional changes by Neil Conway.
2004-02-17Minor editorializing on cost-based vacuum description.Tom Lane
2004-02-17Significant improvements to the documentation for the new cost-basedNeil Conway
vacuum delay feature, including updating the docs for Tom's recent improvements. There is still more work to be done here: for example, adding some more information on the practical use of cost-based vacuum delay to the "maintenance" section would probably be a good idea.
2004-02-17Fix a minor SGML markup infelicity in recently-applied log_disconnectionsNeil Conway
patch.
2004-02-17This patch brings up to date what I did last year (now unfortunatelyBruce Momjian
bitrotted) to allow the logging of the end of a session, enabled by the config setting "log_disconnections". Andrew Dunstan
2004-02-17Minor SGML markup improvements.Neil Conway
2004-02-15First steps towards statistics on expressional (nee functional) indexes.Tom Lane
This commit teaches ANALYZE to store such stats in pg_statistic, but nothing is done yet about teaching the planner to use 'em. Also, repair longstanding oversight in separate ANALYZE command: it updated the pg_class.relpages and reltuples counts for the table proper, but not for indexes.
2004-02-15Minor documentation tweak.Neil Conway

Oh ... didn't know that you did a backpatch. Sorry Jan
2004-02-12Add hooks for type-specific calculation of ANALYZE statistics. Idea andTom Lane
coding by Mark Cave-Ayland, some kibitzing by Tom Lane. initdb forced due to new column in pg_type.
2004-02-12Jan:Bruce Momjian
someone asked me about the FK deadlock fix, mentioned in the 7.3.3 release notes as 3rd change: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-7-3-3.html Actually, that fix was available with 7.4, not 7.3. Don't know if we can retroactively change the release-notes though.
2004-02-12Improve \? wording, remove 'internal'.Bruce Momjian

Looks correct to me. A better workaround for the sentence would be something like: "and it also happens that the user always has permission" Looks easier to read, I think.

2004-02-05Documentation for generate_series() functions committed a few days ago.Joe Conway
2004-02-03Rename SortMem and VacuumMem to work_mem and maintenance_work_mem.Tom Lane
Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit. Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.
2004-02-01Update char_length() example for new semantics.Tom Lane
2004-02-01Make length() disregard trailing spaces in char(n) values, per discussionTom Lane
some time ago and recent patch from Gavin Sherry. Update documentation to point out that trailing spaces are insignificant in char(n).
2004-01-27Improve the documentation of the 'join_collapse_limit' GUC var. Thanks toNeil Conway
Tom Lane for some editorial suggestions.
2004-01-26The attached patch clarifies (or, rather, makes explicit) to readers howNeil Conway
to handle memory management for char pointers returned by libpq functions. Original patch by Gavin Sherry, some tweaking and consistency improvements by Neil Conway.
