2012-05-29Rewrite --section option to decouple it from --schema-only/--data-only.Tom Lane
The initial implementation of pg_dump's --section option supposed that the existing --schema-only and --data-only options could be made equivalent to --section settings. This is wrong, though, due to dubious but long since set-in-stone decisions about where to dump SEQUENCE SET items, as seen in bug report from Martin Pitt. (And I'm not totally convinced there weren't other bugs, either.) Undo that coupling and instead drive --section filtering off current-section state tracked as we scan through the TOC list to call _tocEntryRequired(). To make sure those decisions don't shift around and hopefully save a few cycles, run _tocEntryRequired() only once per TOC entry and save the result in a new TOC field. This required minor rejiggering of ACL handling but also allows a far cleaner implementation of inhibit_data_for_failed_table. Also, to ensure that pg_dump and pg_restore have the same behavior with respect to the --section switches, add _tocEntryRequired() filtering to WriteToc() and WriteDataChunks(), rather than trying to implement section filtering in an entirely orthogonal way in dumpDumpableObject(). This required adjusting the handling of the special ENCODING and STDSTRINGS items, but they were pretty weird before anyway. Minor other code review for the patch, too.
2012-05-28libpq: URI parsing fixesPeter Eisentraut
Drop special handling of host component with slashes to mean Unix-domain socket. Specify it as separate parameter or using percent-encoding now. Allow omitting username, password, and port even if the corresponding designators are present in URI. Handle percent-encoding in query parameter keywords. Alex Shulgin some documentation improvements by myself
2012-05-27Make pg_recievexlog by default loop on connection failuresMagnus Hagander
Avoids the need for an external script in the most common scenario. Behavior can be overridden using the -n/--noloop commandline parameter.

2012-05-23Add small example about pg_archivecleanup -x optionPeter Eisentraut
Every time I read this I had doubts about whether the argument to the -x option should include the dot (yes). A small example should clarify this.

2012-05-21Document that we deviate from ISO 8601 by not using 'T' on output.Tom Lane
Per discussion, we should explain that we follow RFC 3339 and not really the letter of the ISO 8601 spec for timestamp output format. Mostly Brendan Jurd's wording, though I tweaked it to clarify that we do take 'T' on input. Minor additional copy-editing and markup-tweaking, too.

See 6ef24487967692604b07a4a54e71821a60fb729a for an explanation. This is the same for the new man pages.

2012-05-12Update group commit release note item.Bruce Momjian
2012-05-11Explain compatibility item about language names a bit more.Tom Lane
Since we've got an "open items" list item about this, apparently some people are pretty worried about it. In passing remove a lot of trailing whitespace.
2012-05-11Update example of process titles shown by "ps".Tom Lane
This example was quite old: it lacked the WAL writer and autovac launcher as well as the more recently added checkpointer. Linux "ps" seems to show slightly different stuff now too.
2012-05-11Fix contrib/citext's upgrade script to handle array and domain cases.Tom Lane
We previously recognized that citext wouldn't get marked as collatable during pg_upgrade from a pre-9.1 installation, and hacked its create-from-unpackaged script to manually perform the necessary catalog adjustments. However, we overlooked the fact that domains over citext, as well as the citext[] array type, need the same adjustments. Extend the script to handle those cases. Also, the documentation suggested that this was only an issue in pg_upgrade scenarios, which is quite wrong; loading any dump containing citext from a pre-9.1 server will also result in the type being wrongly marked. I approached the documentation problem by changing the 9.1.2 release note paragraphs about this issue, which is historically inaccurate. But it seems better than having the information scattered in multiple places, and leaving incorrect info in the 9.1.2 notes would be bad anyway. We'll still need to mention the issue again in the 9.1.4 notes, but perhaps they can just reference 9.1.2 for fix instructions. Per report from Evan Carroll. Back-patch into 9.1.
2012-05-10Improve discussion of setting server parameters.Tom Lane
Rewrite description of "include_if_exists" for clarity. Add subsection headings to make the structure of the page a little clearer. A couple other minor improvements too. Josh Kupershmidt and Tom Lane
2012-05-10Tweak documentation wording to avoid "pdfendlink" failure.Tom Lane
HEAD documentation was failing to build as US PDF for me, because a link to "CREATE CAST" was getting split across pages. Adjust wording to remove this rather gratuitous cross-reference.

2012-05-10Python 2.2 is no longer supportedPeter Eisentraut
It was already on its last legs, and it turns out that it was accidentally broken in commit 89e850e6fda9e4e441712012abe971fe938d595a and no one cared. So remove the rest the support for it and update the documentation to indicate that Python 2.3 is now required.

2012-05-10Remove unportable use of SGML character-code entity.Tom Lane
It'd be nice to be able to spell Jan Urbanski's name with the correct accent marks, but we haven't yet found a way that works in everybody's docs toolchain. This way definitely doesn't.
