2002-08-22Remove libpq++ SGML documentation.Bruce Momjian
2002-08-22Add a bunch of pseudo-types to replace the behavior formerly associatedTom Lane
with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion. I still want to do some more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...

2002-08-20Enable large file support.Peter Eisentraut
Use off_t and size_t in pg_dump to handle file offset arithmetic correctly.
2002-08-20This patch improves the behavior of FOUND in PL/PgSQL. In Oracle,Bruce Momjian
FOUND is set whenever a SELECT INTO returns > 0 rows, *or* when an INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE affects > 0 rows. We implemented the first part of this behavior, but not the second. I also improved the documentation on the various situations in which FOUND can be set (excluding inside FOR loops, which I still need to think about), and added some regression tests for this behavior.

2002-08-20Add mention of -F not supported by pg_dumpall. Code already disallows it.Bruce Momjian
2002-08-19Fix pg_dump to dump serial columns as serials. Per pghackers discussion,Tom Lane
cause SERIAL column declaration not to imply UNIQUE, so that this can be done without creating an extra index.

2002-08-18Make pg_dump output more portable and more pleasing to look at.Peter Eisentraut
The -n and -N options were removed. Quoting is now smart enough to supply quotes if and only if necessary. Numerical types are now printed without quotes, except in cases of special values such as NaN. Boolean values printed as true and false. Most string literals now do not escape whitespace characters (newlines, etc.) for portability. SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION argument is a string literal, to follow SQL. Made commands output by pg_dump use consistent spacing and indentation.
2002-08-18Add db-local user names, per discussion on hackers.Bruce Momjian
2002-08-17Fix typo.Tom Lane
2002-08-17[ Newest version of patch applied.]Bruce Momjian
This patch is an updated version of the lock listing patch. I've made the following changes: - write documentation - wrap the SRF in a view called 'pg_locks': all user-level access should be done through this view - re-diff against latest CVS One thing I chose not to do is adapt the SRF to use the anonymous composite type code from Joe Conway. I'll probably do that eventually, but I'm not really convinced it's a significantly cleaner way to bootstrap SRF builtins than the method this patch uses (of course, it has other uses...) Neil Conway

2002-08-16Modify pg_dump to dump foreign-key constraints as constraints, not asTom Lane
sets of triggers. Also modify psql \d command to show foreign key constraints as such and hide the triggers. pg_get_constraintdef() function added to backend to support these. From Rod Taylor, code review and some editorialization by Tom Lane.

A simple change, but > it passeth patch's understanding ... Thanks. Attached is a patch against cvs tip as of 8:30 PM PST or so. Turned out that even after fixing the failed hunks, there was a new spot in bufmgr.c which needed to be fixed (related to temp relations; RelationUpdateNumberOfBlocks). But thankfully the regression test code caught it :-) Joe Conway

2002-08-15PostgreSQL 7.2.1 DocumentationBruce Momjian
Chapter 1. libpq - C Library 1.3. Command Execution Functions 1.3.3. Escaping binary strings for inclusion in SQL queries I found the line "The result string length does not include the terminating zero byte of the result." is not right. The result string length does indeed include the terminating zero byte. Christoph Haller

2002-08-15I'm giving a try at some TODO items. Currently it's the turn of theBruce Momjian
PGPASSWORDFILE environment variable. I have modified libpq to make use of this variable. I present the first cut here. Currently the format for the file should be host:port:database:user:password Alvaro Herrera

removed altogether if pg_dump doesn't need it anymore.
2002-08-12Correct description of sequence privileges.Peter Eisentraut
2002-08-12Change memory-space accounting mechanism in tuplesort.c and tuplestore.cTom Lane
to make a reasonable attempt at accounting for palloc overhead, not just the requested size of each memory chunk. Since in many scenarios this will make for a significant reduction in the amount of space acquired, partially compensate by doubling the default value of SORT_MEM to 1Mb. Per discussion in pgsql-general around 9-Jun-2002..
