2010-04-06Reword exclusion constriants to mention that the operator can returnBruce Momjian
false or null, per Tom.
2010-04-05Clean up description of 9.0's incompatible changes in SIMILAR TO andTom Lane
SQL-style substring().
2010-04-05Arrange to remove pg_default_acl entries completely if their ACL settingTom Lane
is changed to match the hard-wired default. This avoids accumulating useless catalog entries, and also provides a path for dropping the owning role without using DROP OWNED BY. Per yesterday's complaint from Jaime Casanova, the need to use DROP OWNED BY for that is less than obvious, so providing this alternative method might save some user frustration.
2010-04-03Minor wording improvement.Tom Lane
2010-04-03Clarify documentation of to_char EEEE patternPeter Eisentraut
2010-04-03Remove unnecessary xref endterm attributes and title idsPeter Eisentraut
The endterm attribute is mainly useful when the toolchain does not support automatic link target text generation for a particular situation. In the past, this was required by the man page tools for all reference page links, but that is no longer the case, and it now actually gets in the way of proper automatic link text generation. The only remaining use cases are currently xrefs to refsects.
2010-04-03Allow for more room in the man page title, so thatPeter Eisentraut
"CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION" is not truncated.
2010-04-02Clarify some behaviours of REASSIGN OWNED and DROP OWNED BY.Simon Riggs
2010-04-02Fix the build and install rules for man pages with SQL section != 7Peter Eisentraut
The previous coding failed in various scenarios possibly including vpath builds and doing make install without preceding make all.

2010-03-31Enhance standby documentation.Heikki Linnakangas
Original patch by Fujii Masao, with heavy editing and bitrot-fixing after my other commit.
2010-03-31Mention in the docs that if special keywords like "sameuser" andHeikki Linnakangas
"replication" are quoted in pg_hba.conf, they lose their special meaning.
2010-03-31Enhance documentation of the build-in standby mode, explaining the retryHeikki Linnakangas
loop in standby mode, trying to restore from archive, pg_xlog and streaming. Move sections around to make the high availability chapter more coherent: the most prominent part is now a "Log-Shipping Standby Servers" section that describes what a standby server is (like the old "Warm Standby Servers for High Availability" section), and how to set up a warm standby server, including streaming replication, using the built-in standby mode. The pg_standby method is desribed in another section called "Alternative method for log shipping", with the added caveat that it doesn't work with streaming replication.
2010-03-30Separate targets "make docs" and "make install-docs" for the documentationPeter Eisentraut
It is no longer installed by default, but included in "make world"/"make install-world". Documentation updated accordingly. Also, fix vpathsearch function to work when calling make install-docs without previous make docs.

requested by Andrew Lardinois
2010-03-29Add some information about what it means for PL/Python to be untrusted.Peter Eisentraut

2010-03-25Prevent ALTER USER f RESET ALL from removing the settings that were put thereAlvaro Herrera
by a superuser -- "ALTER USER f RESET setting" already disallows removing such a setting. Apply the same treatment to ALTER DATABASE d RESET ALL when run by a database owner that's not superuser.

2010-03-23Each worker thread will have its own log file in pgbench to avoid interleavedItagaki Takahiro
writes. The first worker still uses "pgbench_log.<pid>" for the name, but additional workers use "pgbench_log.<pid>.<serial-number>" instead. Reported by Greg Smith.

2010-03-19Clarify docs about database parameter in streaming replication primary_conninfo.Simon Riggs
Docs were unclear on whether or not database=replication was required, nor did they mention the FATAL error this causes if database parameter is mentioned explicitly, whatever its value.

Also make a couple other minor editorial improvements.
2010-03-18Add restartpoint_command option to recovery.conf. Fix bug in %r handlingHeikki Linnakangas
in recovery_end_command, it always came out as 0 because InRedo was cleared before recovery_end_command was executed. Also, always take ControlFileLock when reading checkpoint location for %r. The recovery_end_command bug and the missing locking was present in 8.4 as well, that part of this patch will be backported separately.
