Bruce Momjian	00a8eb61a2	Document that pg_upgrade requires PGHOST be set for any pre-9.1 servers with a socket directory mismatch with the new server. Backpatch to 9.2.	14 years ago
Magnus Hagander	4effe7a589	Mention basebackup-from-slave next to cascading replication	14 years ago
Tom Lane	f763b77193	Fix pg_upgrade to cope with non-default unix_socket_directory scenarios. When starting either an old or new postmaster, force it to place its Unix socket in the current directory. This makes it even harder for accidental connections to occur during pg_upgrade, and also works around some scenarios where the default socket location isn't usable. (For example, if the default location is something other than "/tmp", it might not exist during "make check".) When checking an already-running old postmaster, find out its actual socket directory location from postmaster.pid, if possible. This dodges problems with an old postmaster having a configured location different from the default built into pg_upgrade's libpq. We can't find that out if the old postmaster is pre-9.1, so also document how to cope with such scenarios manually. In support of this, centralize handling of the connection-related command line options passed to pg_upgrade's subsidiary programs, such as pg_dump. This should make future changes easier.

Bruce Momjian	7682c5947d	Update URLs that pointed to sun.com; either repoint them or remove them.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	6c82a86c6f	Add small doc mention that libpq is named after POSTQUEL.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	53fa0c6db8	Revert doc patch `305557984d` as the values are sometimes signed, sometimes unsigned.	14 years ago
Tom Lane	b8a4093b58	Fix broken link in installation.sgml. Linking to other parts of the manual doesn't work when building the standalone INSTALL document.	14 years ago
Robert Haas	e8d6c98c2f	Cross-link to doc build requirements from install requirements. Jeff Janes	14 years ago
Tom Lane	06310178ef	More documentation updates for LATERAL. Extend xfunc.sgml's discussion of set-returning functions to show an example of using LATERAL, and recommend that over putting SRFs in the targetlist. In passing, reword func.sgml's section on set-returning functions so that it doesn't claim that the functions listed therein are all the built-in set-returning functions. That hasn't been true for a long time, and trying to make it so doesn't seem like it would be an improvement. (Perhaps we should rename that section?) Both per suggestions from Merlin Moncure.	14 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	5cad024524	psql: Reduce compatibility warning Only warn when connecting to a newer server, since connecting to older servers works pretty well nowadays. Also update the documentation a little about current psql/server compatibility expectations.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	f789909b59	In pg_upgade, document that the port numbers must be different when checking an old running server.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	c36b06a70d	Clarify FreeBSD instructions in pg_test_timing. Josh Kupershmidt	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	b5dc7612a5	Properly document that SIGTERM is OK for users to use on a postgres session, now that pg_terminate_backend() uses it. Josh Kupershmidt	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	39d0653d05	Revert `1fbc30f1dc` because the --enable-shared is about Plyton's configure, not ours.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	1fbc30f1dc	Remove doc mention of --enable-shared, per Tom.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	39b42ecb05	Document that max_locks_per_transaction might need to be increased for queries on parent tables, per suggestion from Josh Berkus.	14 years ago
Robert Haas	9bedfbd02b	Fix checkpoint_timeout documentation to reflect current behavior. Jeff Janes	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	83fbfec383	Document that log_autovacuum_min_duration can be used to monitor autovacuum activity. Per report from Marc Mamin	14 years ago
Robert Haas	35738b5906	Document how to prevent PostgreSQL itself from exhausting memory. The existing documentation in Linux Memory Overcommit seemed to assume that PostgreSQL itself could never be the problem, or at least it didn't tell you what to do about it. Per discussion with Craig Ringer and Kevin Grittner.	14 years ago
Robert Haas	b9ea8d20fd	Document that COPY OUT requires an absolute pathname. As suggested by Etsuro Fujita, but with somewhat different wording.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	48a9c7823e	Remove old documentation warnings about the use of bigint.	14 years ago
Robert Haas	152525b5f3	Document that xslt-related RPMs may be needed to build docs.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	9fe6da5c0d	Document that NOTIFY events are visible to all users.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	0f3351aacf	Adjust pg_test_timing to show shortest test durations first, place percentage column before count column. Docs updated.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	5ea6c9d798	Update doc mention of how to compute bigint advisory lock value, per Tom Lane's correction.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	bf849af7f3	Document how to create advisory lock "bigint" values in SQL. David E. Wheeler	14 years ago
Tom Lane	7417a8e3dd	Improve a couple of 9.2 release note entries. Clarify the compatibility notes about EXTRACT() and about statistics timing columns.	14 years ago
Tom Lane	8770328784	Add section IDs to subsections of syntax.sgml that lacked them. This is so that these sections will have stable HTML tags that one can link to, rather than things like "AEN1902". Perhaps we should mount a campaign to do this everywhere, but I've found myself pointing at syntax.sgml subsections often enough to be sure it's useful here.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	483c2c1071	Document the lack of reading the PGDATABASE environment variable in pg_restore.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	7a42dff47e	Update FreeBSD kernel configuration documentation. Brad Davis	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	de87d47044	Clarify documentation that primary key and unique constraints are copied for CREATE TABLE LIKE ... INCLUDING INDEXES. Per report from david.sahagian@emc.com	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	f6752ee59a	Document clearly that psql \! parameter interpretation limitations are the same as \copy.	14 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	7514208fbb	Some spelling adjustments in release notes	14 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	8606e47e11	Normalize some British spellings	14 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	406473b152	Put options on man page and in help output in slightly better order	14 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	8b6b50a34d	Fix typo in example.	14 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	26a6267226	Add instructions for setting up documentation tool chain on Mac OS X	14 years ago
Tom Lane	6e2e12c947	Remove overly-pessimistic statement about constraint exclusion. As of 9.2, constraint exclusion should work okay with prepared statements: the planner will try custom plans with actual values of the parameters, and observe that they are a lot cheaper than the generic plan, and thus never fall back to using the generic plan. Noted by Tatsuhito Kasahara.	14 years ago
Tom Lane	b33f611682	Make a cut at a major-features list for 9.2. This is open to debate of course, but it's past time we had something here.	14 years ago
Tom Lane	979f8f0431	Make an editorial pass over the 9.2 release notes. A very large number of small improvements ...	14 years ago
Tom Lane	932a271956	Fix erroneous documentation of synchronous_commit = remote_write. The docs claimed that this mode only waits for the standby to receive WAL data, but actually it waits for the data to be written out to the standby's OS; which is a pretty significant difference because it removes the risk of crash of the walreceiver process.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	03af60c010	Fix typo.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	7dff5b8edd	Document that pg_reload_conf() is also an easy way to reload the configuration file.	14 years ago
Tom Lane	0830cc9fe0	Update 9.2 release notes to reflect commits to date. I was unable to entirely resist the temptation to copy-edit related entries, but will save most of that for a separate pass.	14 years ago
Robert Haas	82ef3d3008	Add a note to the MVCC chapter that some things aren't transactional. Craig Ringer, slightly edited by me.	14 years ago
Tom Lane	18226849ea	Copy-editing for recent window-functions documentation rewrite. Fix grammar, put back some removed information, rearrange for clarity.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	305557984d	Update 'int' protocol documentation mention to be "signed", per request from Dmitriy Igrishin	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	1037f2f646	Document that tab completation can interfere with some SQL commands.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	c99016f1d0	Add warning about pg_ctl restart and the use of relative paths on the command-line.	14 years ago
Bruce Momjian	c6ce4c1322	In docs, clarify that, without ORDER BY, the window frame is all rows in the partition.	14 years ago
