2004-03-23Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, andTom Lane
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor of doing a regular DROP. Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column. This fixes problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an OID column that was inherited from a parent.

2004-03-23Improve the locale and character set docs, add some <xref>s pointingNeil Conway
to the character set docs where appropriate, and improve the postmaster reference page. Character set cross-refs suggested by Gavin Kistner.
2004-03-23Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unifiedTom Lane
listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion. The default behavior is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i postmaster switch in many scenarios. Andrew Dunstan
2004-03-22Clean up rather poor description of the difference between INHERITS andTom Lane
LIKE. Per gripe from Patrick Samson.
2004-03-22I just noticed that \dp outputs "Table" to indicate relations (tables,Bruce Momjian

2004-03-12Allow 'Infinity' and '-Infinity' as input to the float4 and float8Neil Conway

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.
