Tom Lane	ae169e84f7	Improve description of Execute message behavior, per Oliver Jowett.	21 years ago
Bruce Momjian	fa6fa8e549	This patch attempts to outline the supported level of SSL within libpq. ... I haven't mentioned any of ~/.postgresql/{root.crt,postgresql.crt,postresql.key} even though they are checked for in the code, since they do not appear to be supported. I base this on discussions in pgsql-hackers. Dominic Mitchell	21 years ago
Bruce Momjian	31ae87c332	This patch attempts to note the use of the root.crt file in the server. ... Given that PostgreSQL will output a message complaining about it's absence if you're using SSL mode, I feel it's important that it gets a mention in the documentation at some point. Dominic Mitchell	21 years ago
Neil Conway	505d9be3e6	Update CREATE TABLE AS docs to reflect the fact that CREATE TABLE AS was ... added to the SQL:2003 standard.	21 years ago
Neil Conway	bca0383f9a	Update installation docs for PL/Python to note that distutils is now ... required. Original patch from James William Pye, editorializing by Neil Conway.	21 years ago
Neil Conway	a3c53c834f	This patch from Alvaro Herrera adds transaction ID to the list of ... log_line_prefix escapes. The escape sequence used for this is %x. %x previously meant "postmaster et al. stop here" -- this has been renamed to %q.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	2f48836b1f	Some editorializing on the docs for the dollar-quoting feature: fix ... grammar, don't drop discussions into the middle of unrelated discussions, etc.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	5b564e5307	Fix some shortcomings in psql's autocommit-off mode concerning detection ... of commands for which a transaction block should not be forced. Recognize VACUUM and other PreventTransactionChain commands; handle nested /* .. */ comments correctly; handle multibyte encodings correctly. Michael Paesold with some kibitzing from Tom Lane.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	768b647ead	Now that I look, table 8-1 has some other marginal misstatements in it. ... If we're going to put brackets around optional precision specs in some entries, we'd better do it in all.	21 years ago
Neil Conway	f6279e9ed7	Minor documentation cleanup and improvement.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	089fb6c4ce	Put the brackets in the right places in timestamp entries in table 8-1. ... Spotted by Josh Purinton.	21 years ago

Neil Conway	12ce26f8da	Hyperlink a reference to DROP CAST in the CREATE CAST reference page.	21 years ago
Neil Conway	42c0d1f3cd	Minor doc tweak: mention that function names can be optionally schema- ... qualified.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	b2c4071299	Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTED ... mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.) As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	b339d1fff6	Fire non-deferred AFTER triggers immediately upon query completion, ... rather than when returning to the idle loop. This makes no particular difference for interactively-issued queries, but it makes a big difference for queries issued within functions: trigger execution now occurs before the calling function is allowed to proceed. This responds to numerous complaints about nonintuitive behavior of foreign key checking, such as http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-09/msg00020.php, and appears to be required by the SQL99 spec. Also take the opportunity to simplify the data structures used for the pending-trigger list, rename them for more clarity, and squeeze out a bit of space.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	b1c4bdae74	Clarify description of SET CONSTRAINTS. Point out that it is still ... missing the ability to schema-qualify constraint names.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	0b143dd725	Remove a stray reference to sequences as having tablespaces.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	3ff8cc45ad	Add a note about the difference between Postgres' treatment of the rights ... of an object owner and the SQL spec's treatment of these rights.	21 years ago
Bruce Momjian	90e1ac9292	Add index mention: ... <P>In pre-8.0 releases, indexes often can not be used unless the data types exactly match the index's column types. This is particularly true of int2, int8, and numeric column indexes.</P>	21 years ago
Tom Lane	8c603f2c95	Replace log_filename_prefix with more general log_filename parameter, ... to allow DBA to choose the form in which log filenames reflect the current time. Also allow for truncating instead of appending to pre-existing files --- this is convenient when the log filename pattern rewrites the same names cyclically. Per Ed L.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	26b7c04b37	Avoid ambiguity, as per suggestion from Peter Stricker.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	8226f503ef	Rather than referring to src/tutorial/README, put the build instructions ... for the tutorial files right here.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	166300f318	Add note that contrib/rserv is gone.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	79abc3b0de	Add explicit note that empty-string array element values now have to ... be written with quotes. Minor copy-editing too.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	50742aed68	Add WAL logging for CREATE/DROP DATABASE and CREATE/DROP TABLESPACE. ... Fix TablespaceCreateDbspace() to be able to create a dummy directory in place of a dropped tablespace's symlink. This eliminates the open problem of a PANIC during WAL replay when a replayed action attempts to touch a file in a since-deleted tablespace. It also makes for a significant improvement in the usability of PITR replay.	21 years ago
