2003-09-01Do not pass server_encoding to the client.Peter Eisentraut
libpq, talking to an old server, should assume SQL_ASCII as the default client encoding, because that is what the server will actually use (not the server encoding).
2003-09-01Clean up after pygresql removal: adjust/remove documentation and removePeter Eisentraut
unneeded configure work.

2003-08-17Somebody forgot to include any actual documentation for ADD_MISSING_FROM.Tom Lane
2003-08-17Update documentation to reflect the fact that ORDER BY, GROUP BY, etcTom Lane
are now driven by the default btree opclass, rather than assuming that particular operator names have the needed semantics.
2003-08-17Fix broken markup.Tom Lane
2003-08-17I almost forgot mark in docs "to_char(interval)" as deprecated function.Bruce Momjian
This useless routine will removed in 7.5. It's already discussed (see hackers list archive). Karel Zak
2003-08-17This patch makes two minor fixes to the docs: (1) fixes aBruce Momjian
spelling mistake in the PREPARE ref page (2) Makes some English more consistent, in the ref pages for some of the client apps (3) Adds a link to the libpq docs in the vacuumdb ref page. Neil Conway
2003-08-17There is a misstatement in the CLOSE reference page, now that weBruce Momjian
have cursors that might outlive their creating transactions. A patch is attached that fixes this (suggestions on better wording are welcome). Neil Conway
2003-08-17I just noticed that the sample pg_hba.conf in the docs doesn't containBruce Momjian
any use of CIDR masks - here's a patch that adds a couple of sample lines and associated comments. Andrew Dunstan
2003-08-17The attached patch adds some clarification to the documentation of theBruce Momjian
binary format read/created by COPY BINARY. It also mentions the contrib/binarycopy module. Lee Kindness.

2003-08-17Update for 7.3 tips URL.Bruce Momjian
2003-08-16Add mention that Kerberos 4 isn't recommended.Bruce Momjian
2003-08-14Minor copy-editing.Tom Lane
2003-08-14Fix longstanding thinko in SSL protocol documentation: the server'sTom Lane
initial response is 'S', not 'Y', when it is willing to do SSL.
2003-08-13libpq failed to cope with COPY FROM STDIN if the command was issuedTom Lane
via extended query protocol, because it sends Sync right after Execute without realizing that the command to be executed is COPY. There seems to be no reasonable way for it to realize that, either, so the best fix seems to be to make the backend ignore Sync during copy-in mode. Bit of a wart on the protocol, but little alternative. Also, libpq must send another Sync after terminating the COPY, if the command was issued via Execute.
2003-08-13Add PQexecPrepared() and PQsendQueryPrepared() functions, to allowTom Lane
libpq users to perform Bind/Execute of previously prepared statements. Per yesterday's discussion, this offers enough performance improvement to justify bending the 'no new features during beta' rule.
2003-08-10Make various links point to specific places instead of entire partsTom Lane
(doubtless these are hangovers from the old separate-books days).
2003-08-10Request verbose error message output in bug reports.Tom Lane
2003-08-09Update docs for 7.4 array features and polymorphic functions.Tom Lane
This is Joe Conway's patch of 7-Aug plus further editorializing of my own.

apply. Joe Conway
2003-08-06Applied doc patch for the jdbc docs submitted by Nic Ferrier for functionalityBarry Lind
he supplied a few months ago, but didn't get around to docing until now. And he also added some doc for calling stored functions in general from jdbc that was missing. Modified Files: sgml/jdbc.sgml
2003-08-04Add a note that AND and OR are commutative. Apparently, they are not inPeter Eisentraut
certain other products.
2003-08-04Remove --enable-recode feature, since it's been broken by IPv6 changes,Tom Lane
and seems to have too few users to justify maintaining.
2003-08-02Remove docs that say psql \encoding doesn't track SET client_encoding.Bruce Momjian
2003-08-01Make ecpg SQLSTATE-aware. Map existing SQLCODE assignments to SQLSTATEs,Peter Eisentraut
rather than parsing the message. Add some documentation about embedded SQL.
2003-08-01--enable-thread-safeness -> --enable-thread-safetyBruce Momjian
2003-08-01Improve description of restoring pg_dumpall backups, per gripe fromTom Lane
Havard Eidnes.
2003-07-31Very minor editing.Tom Lane
2003-07-31Cause library-preload feature to report error if specified initializationTom Lane

2003-07-31Update Turkish FAQ, Devrim GUNDUZBruce Momjian
2003-07-30Add pretty-printing variants of pg_get_viewdef and related functions.Tom Lane
Patch from Andreas Pflug.
2003-07-29Apply (a somewhat revised version of) Greg Mullane's patch to eliminateTom Lane
heuristic determination of day vs month in date/time input. Add the ability to specify that input is interpreted as yy-mm-dd order (which formerly worked, but only for yy greater than 31). DateStyle's input component now has the preferred spellings DMY, MDY, or YMD; the older keywords European and US are now aliases for the first two of these. Per recent discussions on pgsql-general.
2003-07-28Rename psql's VERBOSE variable to VERBOSITY, per suggestion from Bruce.Tom Lane
2003-07-27Move ERRCODE_XXX macros into their own header file.Tom Lane
