Tom Lane	2bb6b98d5c	Add a section about the planner's statistics, including a description ... of the new pg_stats view.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	daf72bba91	Add note about pg_stats to pg_statistic entry; add sections for ... pg_largeobject, pg_listener, pg_rewrite, pg_trigger; miscellaneous small improvements.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	8f6d72cb39	Suggest placing audit trail on pg_shadow, not its view pg_user.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	9bc15d499d	Update examples of type coercion rules --- some of them no longer worked ... as the example claimed, because of changes elsewhere in the system.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	360e61e1f5	Update FAQ.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	657d0044b0	Update FAQ.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	46712990bd	More keyword uppercasing.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	1d3a47af0c	Attached patch for unconditional enabling of pltcl-unknown support. ... Enabling this feature adds very light overhead of 1 select from pg_class on first using of pl/tcl in backend if unknown suppport is really unused. But pl/tcl with this support has very improved functionality. Patch includes changes to documentation.	25 years ago

Bruce Momjian	db7aa99fb9	Update FAQ.	25 years ago

Bruce Momjian	705869dd17	Uppercase keywords where appropriate.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	c24216bea8	Fix reverse FOR loop to work properly, uppercase cleanup in file.	25 years ago
Tatsuo Ishii	f426465ba9	Add a new function "pg_client_encoding" which returns the current client ... side encoding name. This is necessary for client API's such as JDBC to perform correct encoding conversions. See my email "[HACKERS] pg_client_encoding" 10 Sep 2001.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	f9e6e27c87	Break transformCreateStmt() into multiple routines and make ... transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code. Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now, and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses actually fire now. ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	e98476eb03	Document use of GEQO param in subquery pullups.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	c19ff887c6	Add documention for ecpg -209 error.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	95c18db868	Remove mention of "pg_result -list" becuase it is not implemented, per ... Tatsuo.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	371f49bf9f	Remove gratuitous discrepancy between extract() and date_part(), ... regarding timezone_hour, timezone_minute vs. tz_hour, tz_minute. Document the former.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	ec5c62874d	Allow optional () after current_user, session_user, user, current_time, ... current_timestamp, current_date for ODBC compatibility. Add more functions to odbc.sql catalog extension, use new CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION. Document iODBC/unixODBC build options.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	ffb8f73890	Bunch of copy fitting and style sheet tweakage to get decent looking print ... output (from pdfjadetex). Also updated instructions to install documentation processing toolchain.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	2034086ed1	Correct some errors in plpgsql examples, as reported by Junichi Kobayasi.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	0b3bca6c6f	Change plpgsql to depend on main parser's type-declaration grammar, ... rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type declaration looks like. This is necessary now to ensure that plpgsql will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp' does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	343318028f	ouput -> output ... Oliver Elphick	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	a50696c9e1	Finetuning for legalnotice in print output. Add some "ASCII markup" for ... text output.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	ede3a1ea16	Finetuning for better print formatting	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	ddcf1bca74	Replace simplelists with itemizedlists for better formatting	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	334368fb68	Rewording	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	536394e73a	Fix spacing to get proper URL formatting in print output	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	255bd588a7	Hack for Jade vs TeX interpretation of "--"	25 years ago
Tom Lane	03b0a589d1	Consider interpreting a function call as a trivial (binary-compatible) ... type coercion after failing to find an exact match in pg_proc, but before considering interpretations that involve a function call with one or more argument type coercions. This avoids surprises wherein what looks like a type coercion is interpreted as coercing to some third type and then to the destination type, as in Dave Blasby's bug report of 3-Oct-01. See subsequent discussion in pghackers.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	c4566933b1	Change some 7.2 mentions to version macro.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	2e5fda7b7e	DROP AGGREGATE and COMMENT ON AGGREGATE now accept the expected syntax ... 'aggname (aggtype)'. The old syntax 'aggname aggtype' is still accepted for backwards compatibility. Fix pg_dump, which was actually broken for most cases of user-defined aggregates. Clean up error messages associated with these commands.	25 years ago
Thomas G. Lockhart	a51de40fb6	Minor fixup in spacing for tabular information.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	f2c657375d	Add CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION syntax to allow replacing a function ... definition without changing the function's OID, thereby not breaking rules, views, triggers, etc that depend on it. From Gavin Sherry.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	d7bdfab492	Fix typo (block size is 8 kB not 8192 kB).	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	95b2a2a34f	Fix wording.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	735594ff08	Update docs for 7.2 mention where appropriate.	25 years ago

Tom Lane	f00da6d841	Allow the postmaster to accept changes in PGC_BACKEND GUC variables ... from the config file, so that these changes will propagate to backends started later. Already-started backends continue to ignore changes in these variables.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	85c2d1c4ca	Change tar -T file to tar `cat file` for BSD tar.	25 years ago
Bruce Momjian	e7bbf4bc1c	Change tar -c -f to -cf for BSD tar.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	f9f258281e	Create a GUC parameter max_files_per_process that is a configurable ... upper limit on what we will believe from sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX). The default value is 1000, so that under ordinary conditions it won't affect the behavior. But on platforms where the kernel promises far more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of file descriptors. See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers around 23-Dec-2000.	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	14d330b5b6	Use <mediaobject> instead of <graphic> for forward compatibility. Be more ... flexible about the extension of the graphic files, allow for other formats in print output. (Generating these formats is not implemented yet.)	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	b600319c25	Fix *.gif expansion to be empty when no gif files are used.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	499abb0c0f	Implement new 'lightweight lock manager' that's intermediate between ... existing lock manager and spinlocks: it understands exclusive vs shared lock but has few other fancy features. Replace most uses of spinlocks with lightweight locks. All remaining uses of spinlocks have very short lock hold times (a few dozen instructions), so tweak spinlock backoff code to work efficiently given this assumption. All per my proposal on pghackers 26-Sep-01.	25 years ago
Thomas G. Lockhart	0b268e5d88	Fix markup to allow compilation. The chapters on failure and recovery ... need more work, but at least they have something now.	25 years ago
Thomas G. Lockhart	f9681968e0	Add information on new timestamp and timestamptz data types. ... Start chapter on recovery techniques. Still needs work for release.	25 years ago
