Robert Haas	7b630e7b8e	Edits to 9.1 release notes. Add some new items and some additional details to existing items, mostly by cribbing from the 9.1alpha notes. Some additional clarifications and corrections elsewhere, and a few typo fixes.	15 years ago
Tom Lane	472671e133	Improve user-defined-aggregates documentation. On closer inspection, that two-element initcond value seems to have been a little white lie to avoid explaining the full behavior of float8_accum. But if people are going to expect the examples to be exactly correct, I suppose we'd better explain. Per comment from Thom Brown.	15 years ago
Tom Lane	ba7d020d9d	Fix ancient typo in user-defined-aggregates documentation. The description of the initcond value for the built-in avg(float8) aggregate has been wrong since it was written. Noted by Disc Magnet.	15 years ago

Bruce Momjian	f670c195b6	Reorder some 9.1 release item documentation entries, fix some awkward wording.	15 years ago
Tom Lane	176d5bae1d	Fix up handling of C/POSIX collations. Install just one instance of the "C" and "POSIX" collations into pg_collation, rather than one per encoding. Make these instances exist and do something useful even in machines without locale_t support: to wit, it's now possible to force comparisons and case-folding functions to use C locale in an otherwise non-C database, whether or not the platform has support for using any additional collations. Fix up severely broken upper/lower/initcap functions, too: the C/POSIX fastpath now does what it is supposed to, and non-default collations are handled correctly in single-byte database encodings. Merge the two separate collation hashtables that were being maintained in pg_locale.c, and be more wary of the possibility that we fail partway through filling a cache entry.	15 years ago

Bruce Momjian	b03b17c411	Initial version of PG 9.1 release notes.	15 years ago
Magnus Hagander	6f9192df61	Rename ident authentication over local connections to peer This removes an overloading of two authentication options where one is very secure (peer) and one is often insecure (ident). Peer is also the name used in libpq from 9.1 to specify the same type of authentication. Also make initdb select peer for local connections when ident is chosen, and ident for TCP connections when peer is chosen. ident keyword in pg_hba.conf is still accepted and maps to peer authentication.	15 years ago

Robert Haas	84abea76f6	Add pause_at_recovery_target to recovery.conf.sample; improve docs. Fujii Masao, but with the proposed behavior change reverted, and the rest adjusted accordingly.	15 years ago
Robert Haas	9a56dc3389	Fix various possible problems with synchronous replication. 1. Don't ignore query cancel interrupts. Instead, if the user asks to cancel the query after we've already committed it, but before it's on the standby, just emit a warning and let the COMMIT finish. 2. Don't ignore die interrupts (pg_terminate_backend or fast shutdown). Instead, emit a warning message and close the connection without acknowledging the commit. Other backends will still see the effect of the commit, but there's no getting around that; it's too late to abort at this point, and ignoring die interrupts altogether doesn't seem like a good idea. 3. If synchronous_standby_names becomes empty, wake up all backends waiting for synchronous replication to complete. Without this, someone attempting to shut synchronous replication off could easily wedge the entire system instead. 4. Avoid depending on the assumption that if a walsender updates MyProc->syncRepState, we'll see the change even if we read it without holding the lock. The window for this appears to be quite narrow (and probably doesn't exist at all on machines with strong memory ordering) but protecting against it is practically free, so do that. 5. Remove useless state SYNC_REP_MUST_DISCONNECT, which isn't needed and doesn't actually do anything. There's still some further work needed here to make the behavior of fast shutdown plausible, but that looks complex, so I'm leaving it for a separate commit. Review by Fujii Masao.	15 years ago

Robert Haas	f0f3617135	Minor sync rep documentation improvements. - Make the name of the ID tag for the GUC entry match the GUC name. - Clarify that synchronous_replication waits for xlog flush, not receipt. - Mention that synchronous_replication won't wait if max_wal_senders=0.	15 years ago
Bruce Momjian	94fe9c0f4e	Use "backend process" rather than "backend server", where appropriate.	15 years ago
Bruce Momjian	7a8f43968a	In docs, rename "backwards compatibility" to "backward compatibility" for consistency.	15 years ago
Tom Lane	e3c732a85c	Create an explicit concept of collations that work for any encoding. Use collencoding = -1 to represent such a collation in pg_collation. We need this to make the "default" entry work sanely, and a later patch will fix the C/POSIX entries to be represented this way instead of duplicating them across all encodings. All lookup operations now search first for an entry that's database-encoding-specific, and then for the same name with collencoding = -1. Also some incidental code cleanup in collationcmds.c and pg_collation.c.	15 years ago
