* Minor editorializing.Tom Lane2004-08-14
|
* Preliminary release notes for 7.4.4, 7.3.7, 7.2.5. Will add to theTom Lane2004-08-13
| | | | back branches later.
* Mention log_statement_stats can not be enabled with the other options.Bruce Momjian2004-08-13
|
* Clarify trigger function return convention, per Thomas Hallgren.Tom Lane2004-08-13
|
* Mention the installer doesn't run on NT4.Bruce Momjian2004-08-13
|
* Allow commas in BEGIN, START TRANSACTION, and SET TRANSACTION, as requiredTom Lane2004-08-12
| | | | | | by the SQL standard. For backwards compatibility, however, continue to accept the syntax without. Minor editorialization in the reference pages for these commands, too.
* Allow optional SAVEPOINT keyword in RELEASE and ROLLBACK TO, for greaterTom Lane2004-08-12
| | | | | | compliance with SQL2003 spec syntax. Oliver Jowett
* Cleanup Win32 COPY handling, and move archive examples to SGML.Bruce Momjian2004-08-12
|
* Add PQserverVersion() to libpq to provide more-convenient access toTom Lane2004-08-11
| | | | | | | the server version number. This commit also removes bogus DOS line endings from libpqddll.def. Greg Sabino Mullane
* Update documentation to reflect the fact that we now know exactly whatTom Lane2004-08-10
| | | | time zone names we support.
* Remove no-longer-relevant information about trying to force your OSTom Lane2004-08-09
| | | | to support PST8PDT time zone for the regression tests.
* Add note pointing out the difference in semantics between Oracle andTom Lane2004-08-08
| | | | plpgsql EXCEPTION blocks.
* Move expanded discussion of inheritance's limitations out of tutorialTom Lane2004-08-08
| | | | | and into ddl.sgml. Rewrite for more completeness and (hopefully) clarity.
* Make listen_addresses be a comma-separated list instead of a space-separatedTom Lane2004-08-08
| | | | list. More consistent with our other list-containing GUC variables.
* Document background writer control parameters, do some editorial workTom Lane2004-08-08
| | | | on other recent changes in runtime parameter list.
* Another array syntax change (whitespace) clarification -- this time inJoe Conway2004-08-08
| | | | the release notes.
* Minor clarification of documentation regarding trailing whitespace.Joe Conway2004-08-08
|
* Updated release notes for recent array syntax changes.Joe Conway2004-08-08
|
* Tighened up syntax checking of array input processing considerably. Junk thatJoe Conway2004-08-08
| | | | | | | | | was previously allowed in odd places with odd results now causes an ERROR. Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace -- trailing whitespace is now ignored as well as leading whitespace (which has always been ignored). Documentation updated to reflect change in whitespace handling. Also some refactoring to what I believe is a more sensible order of several paragraphs.
* Update admin guide's discussion of WAL to match present reality.Tom Lane2004-08-08
|
* Minor editorialization on example --- I think that the use of dollarTom Lane2004-08-08
| | | | quoting in this case is just needless obscurantism.
* This patch adds SQL2003 to the set of standards with which PostgreSQLBruce Momjian2004-08-08
| | | | | | is attempting to comply. David Fetter
* This adds a caveat to the inheritance part of the tutorial.Bruce Momjian2004-08-08
| | | | David Fetter
* This patch adds an example to the CREATE DOMAIN docs.Bruce Momjian2004-08-08
| | | | David Fetter
* Included is an example of using savepoints in a non-trivial example.Bruce Momjian2004-08-08
| | | | | | | Giving examples in the SQL command reference is hard because we don't have conditionals at the SQL level. Gavin Sherry
* Update plpgsql documentation for 8.0 (mostly, make use of namedTom Lane2004-08-08
| | | | | | function parameters and dollar quoting in examples; do some polishing of the existing dollar-quoting docs). The 'how to port from Oracle' section is looking pretty respectable these days ...
* Improve privileges discussion (mostly, mention grant options).Tom Lane2004-08-07
|
* Update a couple of example error messages to reflect the fact that weTom Lane2004-08-07
| | | | don't generate constraint names like "$1" anymore.
* Improve markup a little.Tom Lane2004-08-07
|
* Improve tablespace discussion, and bring it up to date with code.Tom Lane2004-08-07
|
* Update pitr docs to mention inclusive/exclusive xid specificationBruce Momjian2004-08-07
|
* Fix markup.Bruce Momjian2004-08-07
|
* Mention that transactions can complete in a different numeric order, forBruce Momjian2004-08-07
| | | | PITR recovery.
* Some editorial work on the 8.0 release notes. Update for recent commits,Tom Lane2004-08-06
| | | | improve existing descriptions.
* Rename vacuum_cost_naptime to vacuum_cost_delay, with agreement from Jan.Bruce Momjian2004-08-06
|
* Create a built-in log rotation program, so that we no longer have toTom Lane2004-08-05
| | | | | | | | | recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program. Additional benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen often). Andreas Pflug, some rework by Tom Lane.
* Require that array literals produce "rectangular" arrays, i.e. all theJoe Conway2004-08-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | subarrays of a given dimension have the same number of elements/subarrays. Also repair a longstanding undocumented (as far as I can see) ability to explicitly set array bounds in the array literal syntax. It now can deal properly with negative array indicies. Modify array_out so that arrays with non-standard lower bounds (i.e. not 1) are output with the expicit dimension syntax. This fixes a longstanding issue whereby arrays with non-default lower bounds had them changed to default after a dump/reload cycle. Modify regression tests and docs to suit, and add some minimal documentation regarding the explicit dimension syntax.
* Label CVS tip as 8.0devel instead of 7.5devel. Adjust various commentsTom Lane2004-08-04
| | | | and documentation to reference 8.0 instead of 7.5.
* Add some notes about unimplemented aspects of PITR backup/recovery.Tom Lane2004-08-04
|
* Preliminary documentation for PITR.Tom Lane2004-08-03
|
* Add functions pg_start_backup, pg_stop_backup to create backup labelTom Lane2004-08-03
| | | | | | | | | and history files as per recent discussion. While at it, remove pg_terminate_backend, since we have decided we do not have time during this release cycle to address the reliability concerns it creates. Split the 'Miscellaneous Functions' documentation section into 'System Information Functions' and 'System Administration Functions', which hopefully will draw the eyes of those looking for such things.
* Move dbsize/oid2name to open items list.Bruce Momjian2004-08-03
|
* Readd pg_config --pgxs code.Bruce Momjian2004-08-02
|
* Support USING INDEX TABLESPACE clause for PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUETom Lane2004-08-02
| | | | constraints. Christopher Kings-Lynne.
* Some mop-up work for savepoints (nested transactions). Store a smallTom Lane2004-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | number of active subtransaction XIDs in each backend's PGPROC entry, and use this to avoid expensive probes into pg_subtrans during TransactionIdIsInProgress. Extend EOXactCallback API to allow add-on modules to get control at subxact start/end. (This is deliberately not compatible with the former API, since any uses of that API probably need manual review anyway.) Add basic reference documentation for SAVEPOINT and related commands. Minor other cleanups to check off some of the open issues for subtransactions. Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.
* Add docs for initdb --auth.Bruce Momjian2004-08-01
|
* Minor release wording improvments.Bruce Momjian2004-08-01
|
* Support "OR condition ..." in plpgsql EXCEPTION clauses to make the syntaxTom Lane2004-07-31
| | | | | | | more nearly Oracle-equivalent. Allow matching by category as well as specific error code. Document the set of available condition names (or more accurately, synchronize it with the existing documentation). In passing, update errcodes.sgml to include codes added during 7.5 development.
* Remove obsolete filesPeter Eisentraut2004-07-31
|
* plpgsql does exceptions.Tom Lane2004-07-31
| | | | | | There are still some things that need refinement; in particular I fear that the recognized set of error condition names probably has little in common with what Oracle recognizes. But it's a start.
