2003-10-24Move pre-7.3 platforms to unsupported.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-23Remove obsolete information about altering default optimization flags forTom Lane
gcc. Per comment from original author, Brian Gallew: "Ancient history. Kill it fast."
2003-10-22Move docs about index cost estimation functions and writing a proceduralTom Lane
language handler to the 'Internals' area, per my proposal of yesterday. Clean up the trigger documentation a bit. Push SPI chapter to the end of its part, and reorder the Internals chapters into what seems a more sensible order (at the moment anyway).
2003-10-22Here is a documentation patch that makes zulu, etc. all more consistent.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-22Release notes updates from Neil Conway.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-22Add mention that "today" doesn't work as column default anymore.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-22Another example-to-documentation difference. Maybe we can find aTom Lane
better way to keep these in sync...
2003-10-21Ooops, missed updating this part of the complex-datatype example.Tom Lane
2003-10-21Update the complex-datatype example to V1 function calling conventions,Tom Lane
and add binary send/receive functions. Fix some other grottiness such as failure to mark the C functions STRICT.
2003-10-21For some reason, the preface mentions just six of the seven major partsTom Lane
of the book. Fix it.
2003-10-21Add release info about dollar signs to migration section:Bruce Momjian
<listitem><para> Dollar sign (<literal>$</>) is no longer allowed in operator names</para></listitem> <listitem><para> Dollar sign (<literal>$</>) can be a non-first character in identifiers</para></listitem>
2003-10-17Document all the system views created by initdb (several of these wereTom Lane
never documented anywhere, sigh). Centralize the detailed documentation of system views into catalogs.sgml, and provide cross-references.
2003-10-17Add a listing of our SQLSTATE error codes to the documentation.Tom Lane
Link to it from some appropriate places.
2003-10-17Fix busted markup.Tom Lane
2003-10-17Adjust display of actual runtimes in EXPLAIN output to use three fractionalTom Lane
digits, and label it 'ms' not 'msec', for consistency with psql's \timing display. Per recent discussions.
2003-10-17Add note deprecating use of consrc.Tom Lane
2003-10-16Fix bugs in referential_constraints view.Peter Eisentraut
2003-10-16Add mention of SIGHUP on the postmaster manual page.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-16Minor copy-editing.Tom Lane
2003-10-16Fix SGML markup.Bruce Momjian
Update HISTORY file.
2003-10-16This patch adds another item to the "migration to 7.4" list in theBruce Momjian
HISTORY file, and attributes the shared-buffer-alignment change to Manfred Spraul. Neil Conway
2003-10-16I have run pg_autovacuum on AIX, so that can, at least loosely, beBruce Momjian
considered "tested." And I have turned all of the 7.4 HISTORY material into DocBook for release.sgml Christopher Browne
2003-10-10Update max existing db size to 32tb.Bruce Momjian

2003-10-09About section 8.5.1.5. ("Special Values"):Bruce Momjian
I suggest adding LOCALTIMESTAMP and LOCALTIME to the first paragraph. Maybe it should be phrased as: The following SQL-compatible functions can be used to obtain current datetime-related values: CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP. (See Section 9.8.4.) Troels Arvin
2003-10-09Add mention of logrotate for syslog, from Robert TreatBruce Momjian
2003-10-08Have log_min_duration_statement = 0 always print duration/statement.Bruce Momjian
Change log line to be "duration: ms query:" Indent multi-line queries with a tab in the server logs.
2003-10-06Modify COPY FROM to match the null-value string against the column valueTom Lane
before it is de-backslashed, not after. This allows the null string \N to be reliably distinguished from the data value \N (which must be represented as \\N). Per bug report from Manfred Koizar ... but it's amazing this hasn't been reported before ... Also, be consistent about encoding conversion for null string: the form specified in the command is in the server encoding, but what is sent to/from client must be in client encoding. This never worked quite right before either.
2003-10-05Update MySQL mention.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-05Update MySQL mention.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-04Document the always-true-but-previously-undocumented fact that PQfnumber()Tom Lane
will downcase the supplied field name unless it is double-quoted. Also, upgrade the routine's handling of double quotes to match the backend, in particular support doubled double quotes within quoted identifiers. Per pgsql-interfaces discussion a couple weeks ago.
2003-10-04Update INSTALL file for 7.4.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-04Update MySQL mention.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-04Update MySQL mention.Bruce Momjian
2003-10-04Change transaction status indicator in prompt from %T to %x.Peter Eisentraut
2003-10-03Add GUC parameter check_function_bodies to control whether validationTom Lane
of function bodies is done at CREATE FUNCTION time. This is normally true but can be set false to avoid problems with forward references, wrong schema search path, etc. This is just the backend patch, still need to adjust pg_dump to make use of it.
2003-10-03Cause PQescapeString to stop processing at a null character, ratherTom Lane
than generating an invalid output string. Per observation and patch from Igor Shevchenko. Further code cleanup and documentation by Tom Lane.
2003-09-30Adjust documentation examples to match recent error message rewordings.Tom Lane
A couple other minor fixes.
2003-09-30Minor copy-editing.Tom Lane
2003-09-30Use slightly less broken markup.Tom Lane
2003-09-29Adjust btree index build procedure so that the btree metapage looksTom Lane
invalid (has the wrong magic number) until the build is entirely complete. This turns out to cost no additional writes in the normal case, since we were rewriting the metapage at the end of the process anyway. In normal scenarios there's no real gain in security, because a failed index build would roll back the transaction leaving an unused index file, but for rebuilding shared system indexes this seems to add some useful protection.
