Bruce Momjian	f7667e4cfa	Update DELETE FROM: ... < * Allow DELETE to handle table aliases for self-joins > * Allow an alias to be provided for the target table in UPDATE/DELETE 276,279c276,282 < There is no way to create a table alias for the deleted table for use < in the DELETE WHERE clause. The agreed approach is to allow a USING < clause to specify additional tables. UPDATE already has an optional < FROM clause for this purpose. > This is not SQL-spec but many DBMSs allow it. > > * Allow additional tables to be specified in DELETE for joins > > UPDATE already allows this (UPDATE...FROM) but we need similar > functionality in DELETE. It's been agreed that the keyword should > be USING, to avoid anything as confusing as DELETE FROM a FROM b.	22 years ago

Joe Conway	cb50ee286d	Tighened up syntax checking of array input processing considerably. Junk that ... was previously allowed in odd places with odd results now causes an ERROR. Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace -- trailing whitespace is now ignored as well as leading whitespace (which has always been ignored). Documentation updated to reflect change in whitespace handling. Also some refactoring to what I believe is a more sensible order of several paragraphs.	22 years ago

Tom Lane	6c3561b9e4	Minor editorialization on example --- I think that the use of dollar ... quoting in this case is just needless obscurantism.	22 years ago

Tom Lane	9b3caebb0a	Update plpgsql documentation for 8.0 (mostly, make use of named ... function parameters and dollar quoting in examples; do some polishing of the existing dollar-quoting docs). The 'how to port from Oracle' section is looking pretty respectable these days ...	22 years ago

Bruce Momjian	57050f9bdf	Modify: ... > * Un-comment all variables in postgresql.conf 84,85c84,85 < By removing comments we prevent the confusion that commenting a line < returns a modified value to its default, which it does not. > By not showing commented-out variables, we discourage people from > thinking that re-commenting a variable returns it to its default.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	78877260e6	Add: ... > * Track dependencies in function bodies and recompile/invalidate	22 years ago

Bruce Momjian	0307c09cf5	Rename vacuum_cost_naptime to vacuum_cost_delay, with agreement from Jan.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	bdf8ef6925	Create a built-in log rotation program, so that we no longer have to ... recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program. Additional benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen often). Andreas Pflug, some rework by Tom Lane.	22 years ago
Joe Conway	0e13d627be	Require that array literals produce "rectangular" arrays, i.e. all the ... subarrays of a given dimension have the same number of elements/subarrays. Also repair a longstanding undocumented (as far as I can see) ability to explicitly set array bounds in the array literal syntax. It now can deal properly with negative array indicies. Modify array_out so that arrays with non-standard lower bounds (i.e. not 1) are output with the expicit dimension syntax. This fixes a longstanding issue whereby arrays with non-default lower bounds had them changed to default after a dump/reload cycle. Modify regression tests and docs to suit, and add some minimal documentation regarding the explicit dimension syntax.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	a128926e89	Update for 8.0	22 years ago
Tom Lane	fcbc438727	Label CVS tip as 8.0devel instead of 7.5devel. Adjust various comments ... and documentation to reference 8.0 instead of 7.5.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	8515efa128	Add some notes about unimplemented aspects of PITR backup/recovery.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	59ff484894	Preliminary documentation for PITR.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	58c41712d5	Add functions pg_start_backup, pg_stop_backup to create backup label ... and history files as per recent discussion. While at it, remove pg_terminate_backend, since we have decided we do not have time during this release cycle to address the reliability concerns it creates. Split the 'Miscellaneous Functions' documentation section into 'System Information Functions' and 'System Administration Functions', which hopefully will draw the eyes of those looking for such things.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	635018b77e	Move dbsize/oid2name to open items list.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	e3b8530cc3	Readd pg_config --pgxs code.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	f0efe26402	Support USING INDEX TABLESPACE clause for PRIMARY KEY and UNIQUE ... constraints. Christopher Kings-Lynne.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	efcaf1e868	Some mop-up work for savepoints (nested transactions). Store a small ... number of active subtransaction XIDs in each backend's PGPROC entry, and use this to avoid expensive probes into pg_subtrans during TransactionIdIsInProgress. Extend EOXactCallback API to allow add-on modules to get control at subxact start/end. (This is deliberately not compatible with the former API, since any uses of that API probably need manual review anyway.) Add basic reference documentation for SAVEPOINT and related commands. Minor other cleanups to check off some of the open issues for subtransactions. Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	9d9cdf82a4	Some name cleanup.	22 years ago
