as the result of the SGML-based tool chain.

2004-01-11Put See Also links back in alphabetical order.Peter Eisentraut
2004-01-11Minor documentation improvements.Neil Conway
2004-01-11Add CREATE TRIGGER, CREATE INDEX, and CREATE SEQUENCE to the list ofNeil Conway
expressions supported by CREATE SCHEMA. Also added the beginning of some regression tests for CREATE SCHEMA; plenty more work is needed here.
2004-01-10Implement "WITH / WITHOID OIDS" clause for CREATE TABLE AS. This isNeil Conway
intended to allow application authors to insulate themselves from changes to the default value of 'default_with_oids' in future releases of PostgreSQL. This patch also fixes a bug in the earlier implementation of the 'default_with_oids' GUC variable: code in gram.y should not examine the value of GUC variables directly due to synchronization issues.
2004-01-10Allow BEGIN WORK to specify transaction isolation level, like STARTBruce Momjian
TRANSACTION.
2004-01-09Allow libpq to do thread-safe SIGPIPE handling. This allows it toBruce Momjian
ignore SIGPIPE from send() in libpq, but terminate on any other SIGPIPE, unless the user installs their own signal handler. This is a minor fix because the only time you get SIGPIPE from libpq's send() is when the backend dies.

2004-01-06Apply the core parts of Dennis Bjorklund's patch to allow functionTom Lane
parameters to be declared with names. pg_proc has a column to store names, and CREATE FUNCTION can insert data into it, but that's all as yet. I need to do more work on the pg_dump and plpgsql portions of the patch before committing those, but I thought I'd get the bulky changes in before the tree drifts under me. initdb forced due to pg_proc change.
2004-01-06Favor Freenode rather than EFnet in IRC listing. Freenode is more popular.Bruce Momjian
2004-01-06Make the 'wal_debug' GUC variable a boolean (rather than an integer), andNeil Conway
hide it behind #ifdef WAL_DEBUG blocks.
2004-01-05Remove an old and out-of-date SGML comment from this file: we alreadyNeil Conway
have WAL, outer joins, and TOAST.

2003-12-23Mop-up for HAS_TEST_AND_SET refactoring. Un-break two or three platformsTom Lane
that were broken, try to make layout of s_lock.h entries consistent, use HAVE_SPINLOCKS in preference to HAS_TEST_AND_SET everywhere outside s_lock.h itself.

2003-12-20Another markup fix for recent patch.Bruce Momjian
2003-12-20Fix broken markup.Bruce Momjian
2003-12-20In my mind there were two categories of open issuesBruce Momjian
a) ones that are 100% backward (such as the comment about outputting this format) and b) ones that aren't (such as deprecating the current postgresql shorthand of '1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 minute in favor of the ISO-8601 'P1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 month. Attached is a patch that addressed all the discussed issues that did not break backward compatability, including the ability to output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to iso8601basic. Interval values can now be written as ISO 8601 time intervals, using the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with the character 'P', followed by a string of values followed by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and time parts of the interval. Ron Mayer

2003-12-14Fix two typos in the documentation for PREPARE.Neil Conway
2003-12-14This patch fixes a few more uppercase GUC vars. I also removed anNeil Conway

2003-12-06Documentation update for previously committed changes: read-only GUC variablesJoe Conway
and pg_settings view.
2003-12-06Massive overhaul of pg_dump: make use of dependency information fromTom Lane
pg_depend to determine a safe dump order. Defaults and check constraints can be emitted either as part of a table or domain definition, or separately if that's needed to break a dependency loop. Lots of old half-baked code for controlling dump order removed.
