Bruce Momjian	36da236eb3	In 'Joins between classes' in Section 5 of the tutorial we have, in ... the first paragraph: As an example, say we wish to find all the records that are in the temperature range of other records. In effect, we need to compare the temp_lo and temp_hi attributes of each EMP instance to the temp_lo and temp_hi attributes of all other EMP instances. I believe that EMP should read WEATHER, as the example query that follows joins WEATHER to itself. EMP is often used in Oracle examples. Regards, Graham Other RULE cleanups	25 years ago

Tom Lane	b44e46cfce	Remove error check that disallowed setval() on a sequence with cache ... value greater than one. The behavior this sought to disallow doesn't seem any less confusing than the other behaviors of cached sequences. Improve wording of some error messages, too. Update documentation accordingly. Also add an explanation that aborted transactions do not roll back their nextval() calls; this seems to be a FAQ, so it ought to be mentioned here...	25 years ago

Tom Lane	c715fdea26	Significant cleanups in SysV IPC handling (shared mem and semaphores). ... IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch). There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3. Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c. TAS and non-TAS logic is now exactly the same. When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR) message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	5173fc411f	Remove PQunixsocket, per Peter's recommendation. PQhost shows the socket directory.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	bbea3643a3	Store current LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE settings in pg_control during initdb; ... re-adopt these settings at every postmaster or standalone-backend startup. This should fix problems with indexes becoming corrupt due to failure to provide consistent locale environment for postmaster at all times. Also, refuse to start up a non-locale-enabled compilation in a database originally initdb'd with a non-C locale. Suppress LIKE index optimization if locale is not "C" or "POSIX" (are there any other locales where it's safe?). Issue NOTICE during initdb if selected locale disables LIKE optimization.	25 years ago

Bruce Momjian	3f1998727d	here is a patch for formatting.c (to_char/timestampt()), for 7.1 ... it fixing Y,YY,YYY,YYYY conversion, the docs and regress tests update are included too. During the patch testing I found small bug in miscadmin.h in convertstr() declaration. Here it's fixed too. Thanks Karel	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	5b00ea9e50	Make SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS compliant with SQL 99. Remove redundant, ... non-standard clauses. Allow CHARACTERISTICS as unquoted identifier. Merge related reference pages.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	b2e76d570b	Revive Reference Manual, remove reference pages from User's Guide. ... Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the documentation. Document titles now contain the version number of the release they belong to. filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities (i.e., sgml files). No longer a need to declare them in each document header. There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same sources. Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the problems that had caused this to fail in the past.	25 years ago

Tom Lane	5bb2300b59	Revise handling of oldstyle/newstyle functions per recent discussions ... in pghackers list. Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone (no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry 'internal' now implies newstyle call convention. pg_language entry 'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions are now called language 'C'. A newstyle function must be identified by an associated info routine. See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.	25 years ago
