Author	SHA1	Message	Date
Tom Lane	a2c3931a24	Fix pg_hba.conf matching so that replication connections only match records ... with database = replication. The previous coding would allow them to match ordinary records too, but that seems like a recipe for security breaches. Improve the messages associated with no-such-pg_hba.conf entry to report replication connections as such, since that's now a critical aspect of whether the connection matches. Make some cursory improvements in the related documentation, too.	16 years ago
Robert Haas	481cb5d9b5	Rename standby_keep_segments to wal_keep_segments. ... Also, make the name of the GUC and the name of the backing variable match. Alnong the way, clean up a couple of slight typographical errors in the related docs.	16 years ago
Robert Haas	ee7769bb76	Update docs as to when WAL logging can be skipped. ... In 8.4 and prior, WAL-logging could potentially be skipped whenever archive_mode=off. With streaming replication, this is now true only if max_wal_senders=0. Fujii Masao, with light copyediting by me	16 years ago
Robert Haas	5b89ef384c	Add an 'enable_material' GUC. ... The logic for determining whether to materialize has been significantly overhauled for 9.0. In case there should be any doubt about whether materialization is a win in any particular case, this should provide a convenient way of seeing what happens without it; but even with enable_material turned off, we still materialize in cases where it is required for correctness. Thanks to Tom Lane for the review.	16 years ago

Bruce Momjian	325e9cb3a0	Remove example of archive_command from configure section; instead have ... users look at the referenced section for examples, per idea from Greg Smith.	16 years ago
Bruce Momjian	202c655810	Spell out full archive directory specification in 'test -f' continuous ... archiving example, per suggestion from Greg Smith.	16 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	e76b4e0ddb	Adjust paragraph about monitoring streaming replication, now that we have ... standby_keep_segments.	16 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	e57cd7f0a1	Change the logic to decide when to delete old WAL segments, so that it ... doesn't take into account how far the WAL senders are. This way a hung WAL sender doesn't prevent old WAL segments from being recycled/removed in the primary, ultimately causing the disk to fill up. Instead add standby_keep_segments setting to control how many old WAL segments are kept in the primary. This also makes it more reliable to use streaming replication without WAL archiving, assuming that you set standby_keep_segments high enough.	16 years ago
Robert Haas	1c850fa807	Make smart shutdown work in combination with Hot Standby/Streaming Replication. ... At present, killing the startup process does not release any locks it holds, so we must wait to stop the startup and walreceiver processes until all read-only backends have exited. Without this patch, the startup and walreceiver processes never exit, so the server gets permanently stuck in a half-shutdown state. Fujii Masao, with review, docs, and comment adjustments by me.	16 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	0f11ed5886	Allow quotes to be escaped in recovery.conf, by doubling them. This patch ... also makes the parsing a little bit stricter, rejecting garbage after the parameter value and values with missing ending quotes, for example.	16 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	370f770c15	Forbid using pg_xlogfile_name() and pg_xlogfile_name_offset() during ... recovery. We might want to relax this in the future, but ThisTimeLineID isn't currently correct in backends during recovery, so the filename returned was wrong.	16 years ago
Bruce Momjian	08c1d4e560	Reword exclusion constriants to mention that the operator can return ... false or null, per Tom.	16 years ago
Tom Lane	87d5c22925	Clean up description of 9.0's incompatible changes in SIMILAR TO and ... SQL-style substring().	16 years ago
Tom Lane	60bd2b1941	Arrange to remove pg_default_acl entries completely if their ACL setting ... is changed to match the hard-wired default. This avoids accumulating useless catalog entries, and also provides a path for dropping the owning role without using DROP OWNED BY. Per yesterday's complaint from Jaime Casanova, the need to use DROP OWNED BY for that is less than obvious, so providing this alternative method might save some user frustration.	16 years ago
Tom Lane	87ecae72ba	Minor wording improvement.	16 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	a8af3d1a57	Clarify documentation of to_char EEEE pattern	16 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	6dcce3985b	Remove unnecessary xref endterm attributes and title ids ... The endterm attribute is mainly useful when the toolchain does not support automatic link target text generation for a particular situation. In the past, this was required by the man page tools for all reference page links, but that is no longer the case, and it now actually gets in the way of proper automatic link text generation. The only remaining use cases are currently xrefs to refsects.	16 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	7969145483	Allow for more room in the man page title, so that ... "CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION" is not truncated.	16 years ago
Simon Riggs	3e754a89ea	Clarify some behaviours of REASSIGN OWNED and DROP OWNED BY.	16 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	a5c317cf78	Fix the build and install rules for man pages with SQL section != 7 ... The previous coding failed in various scenarios possibly including vpath builds and doing make install without preceding make all.	16 years ago

Heikki Linnakangas	259f60e9b6	Mention in the docs that if special keywords like "sameuser" and ... "replication" are quoted in pg_hba.conf, they lose their special meaning.	16 years ago
Heikki Linnakangas	991bfe11d2	Enhance documentation of the build-in standby mode, explaining the retry ... loop in standby mode, trying to restore from archive, pg_xlog and streaming. Move sections around to make the high availability chapter more coherent: the most prominent part is now a "Log-Shipping Standby Servers" section that describes what a standby server is (like the old "Warm Standby Servers for High Availability" section), and how to set up a warm standby server, including streaming replication, using the built-in standby mode. The pg_standby method is desribed in another section called "Alternative method for log shipping", with the added caveat that it doesn't work with streaming replication.	16 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	29ccc32c30	Separate targets "make docs" and "make install-docs" for the documentation ... It is no longer installed by default, but included in "make world"/"make install-world". Documentation updated accordingly. Also, fix vpathsearch function to work when calling make install-docs without previous make docs.	16 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	51d2c9b0bb	Add some documentation about PL/Python limitations ... suggested by Steve White (bug #5272)	16 years ago
Alvaro Herrera	be8cebc717	Prevent ALTER USER f RESET ALL from removing the settings that were put there ... by a superuser -- "ALTER USER f RESET setting" already disallows removing such a setting. Apply the same treatment to ALTER DATABASE d RESET ALL when run by a database owner that's not superuser.	16 years ago

Itagaki Takahiro	a887c486d5	Each worker thread will have its own log file in pgbench to avoid interleaved ... writes. The first worker still uses "pgbench_log.<pid>" for the name, but additional workers use "pgbench_log.<pid>.<serial-number>" instead. Reported by Greg Smith.	16 years ago
