Tom Lane	3871b69ba1	Improve descriptions of postmaster switches.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	a7b8de40db	Rearrange steps in recommended install procedure to something more ... reasonable, ie configure and build first, then optionally run regress tests using new parallel (non-installed) test method, and only then backup and kill old installation.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	5521658e30	Add description of new parallel regression testing method; update ... procedure to cover running either test script; other minor improvements.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	4e9c534766	Update descriptions of configure's options, and document how to specify ... multiple directories for --with-includes or --with-libraries.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	7c81a130a4	Fix erroneous claim that 'postmaster -S' leaves the postmaster running ... in the foreground --- in fact, it auto-detaches.	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	ba834d6425	Update initdb flags.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	cb3b3eda9a	In PQnotifies discussion, reference PQsocket as function needed to get ... file descriptor number for select(). (Suggestion from Ken Wright.)	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	be0204133c	Move LOCK terms down.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	0edcee3459	Fold PQsetenv working state into PGconn, rather than trying to maintain ... it in a separate object. There's no value in keeping the state separate, and it creates dangling-pointer problems. Also, remove PQsetenv routines from public API, until and unless they are redesigned to have a safer interface. Since they were never part of the documented API before 7.0, it's unlikely that anyone is calling them.	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	853cf66176	Update HISTORY	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	6d79d6027c	>> 5. empty define that results in an empty but terminated line ( ; ) ... easy (maybe dumb) fix for 5 in attachment define.patch greetings, Andreas	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	f8645018bc	Back out // compiler flag.	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	4ddc50dffa	Hmm, absolute pathnames for the copy makes sense. I'll whip up that ... patch in a second. Should be sufficent to just make sure the first character is a '/', right? Ross J. Reedstrom	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	90cb4c89df	Update history/sgml.	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	b508136d81	Update HISTORY file for 7.0.	26 years ago

Tom Lane	8fc97e8276	Sorry, I have read the misspelling 'coersion' one time too many.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	b9a990d8a8	Add exp(), ln(), and some other functions to numeric-functions table.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	339fe3c4cb	Add note that ':' and ';' operators are deprecated.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	f945f46193	Modify lexing of multi-char operators per pghackers discussion around ... 16-Mar-00: trailing + or - is not part of the operator unless the operator also contains characters not present in SQL92-defined operators. This solves the 'X=-Y' problem without unduly constraining users' choice of operator names --- in particular, no existing Postgres operator names become invalid. Also, remove processing of // comments, as agreed in the same thread.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	0e314d747e	Add safety check on expression nesting depth. Default value is set by ... a config.h #define, and the runtime value can be controlled via SET.	26 years ago
Thomas G. Lockhart	1f3122e26d	Fix typo (introduced by xemacs markup normalization) in the syntax summary.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	1763a7c1ea	Tweak GROUP BY so that it will still accept result-column names, but only ... after trying to resolve the item as an input-column name. This allows us to be compliant with the SQL92 spec for queries that fall within the spec, while still accepting the same out-of-spec queries as 6.5 did. You'll only lose if there is an output column name that is the same as an input column name, but doesn't refer to the same value. 7.0 will interpret such a GROUP BY spec differently than 6.5 did. No way around that, because 6.5 was clearly not spec compliant.	26 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	c75adac757	More fixes for psql ^C handling, especially during copy. Still doesn't ... cope so well with copy to but that will have to wait for the next release. Also added -X option to prevent reading .psqlrc startup file.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	80b7955d60	Correct bogus syntax in SET example.	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	020be62dea	Well, here's the first pass on regression ... tests for the Foreign Key support in 7.0 which was made against a CVS copy from this afternoon. This modifies src/test/regress/sql/run_check.tests src/test/regress/sql/alter_table.sql src/test/regress/expected/alter_table.out src/test/regress/sql/foreign_key.sql src/test/regress/expected/foreign_key.out sszabo@bigpanda.co	26 years ago

Thomas G. Lockhart	ac324075de	Update for new Irix info.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	598ea2c359	Finish repairing 6.5's problems with r-tree indexes: create appropriate ... selectivity functions and make the r-tree operators use them. The estimation functions themselves are just stubs, unfortunately, but perhaps someday someone will make them compute realistic estimates. Change pg_am so that the optimizer can reliably tell the difference between ordered and unordered indexes --- before it would think that an r-tree index can be scanned in '<<' order, which is not right AFAIK. Repair broken negator links for network_sup and related ops. Initdb forced. This might be my last initdb force for 7.0 ... hope so anyway ...	26 years ago
Tom Lane	9c80cceb02	Update EXPLAIN documentation to reflect the fact that the ... planner now produces two cost numbers instead of one.	26 years ago
Tom Lane	b1577a7c78	New cost model for planning, incorporating a penalty for random page ... accesses versus sequential accesses, a (very crude) estimate of the effects of caching on random page accesses, and cost to evaluate WHERE- clause expressions. Export critical parameters for this model as SET variables. Also, create SET variables for the planner's enable flags (enable_seqscan, enable_indexscan, etc) so that these can be controlled more conveniently than via PGOPTIONS. Planner now estimates both startup cost (cost before retrieving first tuple) and total cost of each path, so it can optimize queries with LIMIT on a reasonable basis by interpolating between these costs. Same facility is a win for EXISTS(...) subqueries and some other cases. Redesign pathkey representation to achieve a major speedup in planning (I saw as much as 5X on a 10-way join); also minor changes in planner to reduce memory consumption by recycling discarded Path nodes and not constructing unnecessary lists. Minor cleanups to display more-plausible costs in some cases in EXPLAIN output. Initdb forced by change in interface to index cost estimation functions.	26 years ago
Thomas G. Lockhart	f0c66e539b	Fix extraneous ending tag on libpq.sgml. ... Renormalize query.sgml and fix indenting.	26 years ago

Bruce Momjian	5d93742b8d	You will need to copy "config.h.win32" to "config.h" in the include ... directory. I think this patch to the docs should be what is needed. Magnus Hagander	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	b1b8fc813f	Update length to 31.	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	394af52795	I'm sending patch with new version of to_char numbers formatting. ... The PostgreSQL's to_char() is very compatible with Oracle's to_char now. I hope that to_char's 3000 rows of source is without bugs, but will good if anyone test it, for me it works very well :-) Karel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Karel Zak <zakkr@zf.jcu.cz> http://home.zf.jcu.cz/~zakkr/	26 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	9ceb5d8a7b	Fixed psql double quoting of SQL ids ... Fixed libpq printing functions	26 years ago
Bruce Momjian	a64d3bc433	Solaris has always had problems with 1947 in the ... regression tests so I prepared a set of expected files to make things look OK. There's also a file to account for minor variations in the geopmetry output and a resultmap patch to pull them all together. With these changes PostgreSQL, from CVS, builds and regression tests (runcheck) cleanly. Keith Parks.	26 years ago
Thomas G. Lockhart	83fd594a3d	Add short chapter in developer's guide on formatting source code.	26 years ago
