2010-06-22Update pg_ctl docs to explain server output behavior differences onBruce Momjian
win32 and non-win32 platforms.
2010-06-22Deprecate the use of => as an operator name.Robert Haas
In HEAD, emit a warning when an operator named => is defined. In both HEAD and the backbranches (except in 8.2, where contrib modules do not have documentation), document that hstore's text => text operator may be removed in a future release, and encourage the use of the hstore(text, text) function instead. This function only exists in HEAD (previously, it was called tconvert), so backpatch it back to 8.2, when hstore was added. Per discussion.
2010-06-22Minor markup improvements for Hot Standby documentation.Robert Haas
2010-06-18Rename hstore => text[] operator to %Robert Haas
This is not yet in any released version, so we still have the option to change the name. We may want to reserve the token => in a future release.

2010-06-16Remove perl symbol table additions for plperl functions, and mention of itAndrew Dunstan
in the release notes, as it is not apparently providing anything useful.
2010-06-16Add notes that CREATE/DROP CONVERSION is similar to CREATE/DROPPeter Eisentraut
TRANSLATION in the SQL standard.
2010-06-15Change the interpretation of the primary_key_attnums parameter ofTom Lane
dblink_build_sql_insert() and related functions. Now the column numbers are treated as logical not physical column numbers. This will provide saner behavior in the presence of dropped columns; furthermore, if we ever get around to allowing rearrangement of logical column ordering, the original definition would become nearly untenable from a usability standpoint. Per recent discussion of dblink's handling of dropped columns. Not back-patched for fear of breaking existing applications.
2010-06-15Clarify SELECT FOR UPDATE behavior in docs.Bruce Momjian
2010-06-15Remove hstore's text[] => text[] operator.Robert Haas
This is not yet in any released version, so we still have the option to backtrack. Instead, document hstore(text[], text[]). Per discussion.
2010-06-15Document new 9.0 behavior of ANALYZE on inheritance hierarchies.Robert Haas
In particular, note that autovacuum does not yet understand that it might need to vacuum inheritance parents as a result of changes to the child tables.
2010-06-15Add new GUC categories corresponding to sections in docs, and moveItagaki Takahiro
description for vacuum_defer_cleanup_age to the correct category. Sections in postgresql.conf are also sorted in the same order with docs. Per gripe by Fujii Masao, suggestion by Heikki Linnakangas, and patch by me.

2010-06-11Use "replication" as the database name when constructing a connectionHeikki Linnakangas
string for a streaming replication connection. It's ignored by the server, but allows libpq to pick up the password from .pgpass where "replication" is specified as the database name. Patch by Fujii Masao per Tom's suggestion, with some wording changes by me.

2010-06-10Return NULL instead of 0/0 in pg_last_xlog_receive_location() andHeikki Linnakangas

2010-06-08Make procedural language handler reference C-language function docs.Robert Haas
Based on suggestions from Jonathan Leto and Joshua Tolley.
2010-06-07Ensure default-only storage parameters for TOAST relationsItagaki Takahiro
to be initialized with proper values. Affected parameters are fillfactor, analyze_threshold, and analyze_scale_factor. Especially uninitialized fillfactor caused inefficient page usage because we built a StdRdOptions struct in which fillfactor is zero if any reloption is set for the toast table. In addition, we disallow toast.autovacuum_analyze_threshold and toast.autovacuum_analyze_scale_factor because we didn't actually support them; they are always ignored. Report by Rumko on pgsql-bugs on 12 May 2010. Analysis by Tom Lane and Alvaro Herrera. Patch by me. Backpatch to 8.4.
2010-06-07Replace "slave" to "standby" in documentation for consistent terminology.Itagaki Takahiro
Almost all of the terms in docs and messages were replaced, but still remains in a few comments and README files in codes.
2010-06-05Improve our explanation of the OVERLAPS operator.Tom Lane
Per gripe from Frank van Vugt.
2010-06-03Add current WAL end (as seen by walsender, ie, GetWriteRecPtr() result)Tom Lane
and current server clock time to SR data messages. These are not currently used on the slave side but seem likely to be useful in future, and it'd be better not to change the SR protocol after release. Per discussion. Also do some minor code review and cleanup on walsender.c, and improve the protocol documentation.
