2002-07-29Implement CREATE/DROP OPERATOR CLASS. Work still remains: need moreTom Lane
documentation (xindex.sgml should be rewritten), need to teach pg_dump about it, need to update contrib modules that currently build pg_opclass entries by hand. Original patch by Bill Studenmund, grammar adjustments and general update for 7.3 by Tom Lane.
2002-07-28Structure reference pages consistently. Document that structure.Peter Eisentraut
Add information about environment variables.

2002-07-24Remove unused system table columns:Peter Eisentraut
pg_language.lancompiler pg_operator.oprprec pg_operator.oprisleft pg_proc.proimplicit pg_proc.probyte_pct pg_proc.properbyte_cpu pg_proc.propercall_cpu pg_proc.prooutin_ratio pg_shadow.usetrace pg_type.typprtlen pg_type.typreceive pg_type.typsend Attempts to use the obsoleted attributes of pg_operator or pg_proc in the CREATE commands will be greeted by a warning. For pg_type, there is no warning (yet) because pg_dump scripts still contain these attributes. Also remove new but already obsolete spellings isVolatile, isStable, isImmutable in WITH clause. (Use new syntax instead.)

new SHOW output format.
2002-07-19Make note that ALTER TABLE can change table owner these days.Tom Lane
2002-07-18pg_cast table, and standards-compliant CREATE/DROP CAST commands, plusPeter Eisentraut
extension to create binary compatible casts. Includes dependency tracking as well. pg_proc.proimplicit is now defunct, but will be removed in a separate commit. pg_dump provides a migration path from the previous scheme to declare casts. Dumping binary compatible casts is currently impossible, though.
2002-07-18Implement DROP SCHEMA. It lacks support for dropping conversions andTom Lane
operator classes, both of which are schema-local and so should really be droppable.
2002-07-18Fix copy-and-pasteo (CASCADE/RESTRICT in wrong place).Tom Lane
2002-07-18Here (finally ;-)) is a doc patch covering the Table Function C API. ItBruce Momjian
reflects the changes in the tablefunc-fix patch that I sent in the other day. It also refers to "see contrib/tablefunc for more examples", which is next on my list of things to finish and submit. Joe Conway
2002-07-18The attached patch (against HEAD) implementsBruce Momjian
COPY x (a,d,c,b) from stdin; COPY x (a,c) to stdout; as well as the corresponding changes to pg_dump to use the new functionality. This functionality is not available when using the BINARY option. If a column is not specified in the COPY FROM statement, its default values will be used. In addition to this functionality, I tweaked a couple of the error messages emitted by the new COPY <options> checks. Brent Verner
2002-07-16Add more dependency insertions --- this completes the basic pg_dependTom Lane
functionality. Of note: dropping a table that has a SERIAL column defined now drops the associated sequence automatically.

2002-07-16Mark 'line' as 'not implemented' in SGML and psql \dT, per ThomasBruce Momjian
Lockhart. initdb not forced.
2002-07-16This fixes 2 inaccuracies in the recently added SQL99 feature list docs.Bruce Momjian
UNIQUE and DISTINCT predicates are both listed as implemented -- AFAIK, neither is. I also included another trivial patch which adds the default location of the DSSSL stylesheets on my system (Debian unstable, docbook-dsssl 1.76) to the list of paths that configure looks for. Neil Conway
2002-07-15Fix \? and \pset pager handling. \? wasn't honoring pager before.Bruce Momjian
2002-07-14Remove no-longer-appropriate notes about lack of CASCADE/RESTRICT behavior.Tom Lane
2002-07-13Add SET statement_timeout capability. Timeout is in ms. A value ofBruce Momjian
zero turns off the timer.
2002-07-13Re-add -I documentation, per Tom.Bruce Momjian
2002-07-12Second phase of committing Rod Taylor's pg_depend/pg_constraint patch.Tom Lane
pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint. pg_depend exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP; however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies. (Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type entry when the relation is dropped.) Need to add more logic to create dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.

2002-07-04Document function args are required for pg_restore -P.Bruce Momjian
Fix pg_dump to not quote the function name in the storage tag. Fix pg_dump so GRANT/REVOKE(ACL) tag entries are not quoted, for consistency. Fix pg_restore to properly handle quotes and some spaces in -P.

2002-06-22Implement SQL99 CREATE CAST and DROP CAST statements.Thomas G. Lockhart
Also implement alternative forms to expose the PostgreSQL CREATE FUNCTION features. Implement syntax for READ ONLY and READ WRITE clauses in SET TRANSACTION. READ WRITE is already implemented (of course). Implement syntax for "LIKE table" clause in CREATE TABLE. Should be fairly easy to complete since it resembles SELECT INTO. Implement MATCH SIMPLE clause for foreign key definitions. This is explicit SQL99 syntax for the default behavior, so we now support it :) Start implementation of shorthand for national character literals in scanner. For now, just swallow the leading "N", but sometime soon let's figure out how to pass leading type info from the scanner to the parser. We should use the same technique for binary and hex bit string literals, though it might be unusual to have two apparently independent literal types fold into the same storage type.
