2007-12-03Add SGML documentation for contrib/spi and contrib/test_parser.Tom Lane
The spi documentation is pretty rudimentary, but it's a start.
2007-12-03Update SGML contrib documentation to catch up with recent changes toTom Lane
the former README files. Albert Cervera i Areny
2007-12-02Ensure that all <sect1> and <refentry> tags have IDs. This is neededTom Lane
to ensure that the resulting webpages have predictable URLs, instead of ever-changing numeric IDs. The new contrib docs were the biggest offender, but some old stuff had the problem too. Also, rename a couple of new contrib sgml files for consistency's sake.
2007-12-02Add SGML docs for contrib/dict_int and contrib/dict_xsyn.Tom Lane

2007-11-27Add quote_literal(anyelement) to preserve (and, in fact, extend) aTom Lane
useful consequence of the former liberal implicit casting to text; namely that you can feed non-string values to quote_literal() and get unsurprising results. Per discussion.

2007-11-26Change index_name to name for consistency.Peter Eisentraut
2007-11-26Fix select_common_type() so that it can select a domain type, if all inputsTom Lane
to a UNION, CASE, or related construct are of the same domain type. The main part of this routine smashes domains to their base types, which seems necessary because the logic involves TypeCategory() and IsPreferredType(), neither of which work usefully on domains. However, we can add a first pass that just detects whether all the inputs are exactly the same type, and if so accept that without question (so long as it's not UNKNOWN). Per recent gripe from Dean Rasheed. In passing, remove some tests for InvalidOid, which have clearly been dead code for quite some time now, because getBaseType() would fail on that input. Also, clarify the manual's not-very-precise description of the existing algorithm's behavior.
