Tom Lane	0152f14812	Example of a function taking a composite type should show how to call it.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	3969f2924b	Revise GEQO planner to make use of some heuristic knowledge about SQL, namely ... that it's good to join where there are join clauses rather than where there are not. Also enable it to generate bushy plans at need, so that it doesn't fail in the presence of multiple IN clauses containing sub-joins. These changes appear to improve the behavior enough that we can substantially reduce the default pool size and generations count, thereby decreasing the runtime, and yet get as good or better plans as we were getting in 7.4. Consequently, adjust the default GEQO parameters. I also modified the way geqo_effort is used so that it affects both population size and number of generations; it's now useful as a single control to adjust the GEQO runtime-vs-plan-quality tradeoff. Bump geqo_threshold to 12, since even with these changes GEQO seems to be slower than the regular planner at 11 relations.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	8e32f78b1d	Add MySQL mention of licensing difference.	22 years ago
Neil Conway	58ae3cf12c	Minor improvements to the trigger documentation, and a few SGML fixes.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	672a807028	Repair error apparently introduced in the initial coding of GUC: the ... default value for geqo_effort is supposed to be 40, not 1. The actual 'genetic' component of the GEQO algorithm has been practically disabled since 7.1 because of this mistake. Improve documentation while at it.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	04cc4e18dd	Implement '\copy from -' to support reading copy data from the same ... source the \copy came from. Also, fix prompting logic so that initial and per-line prompts appear for all cases of reading from an interactive terminal. Patch by Mark Feit, with some kibitzing by Tom Lane.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	0f8a313508	Remove no-longer-relevant note about forcing the type of an integer ... constant. Per Kris Jurka.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	18f7a8e262	This is a patch to support readline prompts which contain non-printing ... characters, as for fancy colorized prompts. This was nearly a direct lift from bash-2.05b's lib/readline/display.c, per guidance from Chet Ramey. Reece Hart	22 years ago
Tom Lane	bd046b99f0	Remove JDBC from the build system and documentation, too.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	163edee632	Improve discussion of consistent-snapshot backup technique. Haphazard ... editing of this text had left nearly contradictory statements in adjacent paragraphs ...	22 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	b89744198e	Some refinement of XSLT processing: The result now looks just about as good ... as the result of the SGML-based tool chain.	22 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	e27d500235	Make rule and stylesheet to try out XSLT for DocBook processing	22 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	1fee65f479	Put See Also links back in alphabetical order.	22 years ago
Neil Conway	024f3fa52f	Minor documentation improvements.	22 years ago
Neil Conway	e97b8f2da9	Add CREATE TRIGGER, CREATE INDEX, and CREATE SEQUENCE to the list of ... expressions supported by CREATE SCHEMA. Also added the beginning of some regression tests for CREATE SCHEMA; plenty more work is needed here.	22 years ago
Neil Conway	98dcf085e3	Implement "WITH / WITHOID OIDS" clause for CREATE TABLE AS. This is ... intended to allow application authors to insulate themselves from changes to the default value of 'default_with_oids' in future releases of PostgreSQL. This patch also fixes a bug in the earlier implementation of the 'default_with_oids' GUC variable: code in gram.y should not examine the value of GUC variables directly due to synchronization issues.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	a620a760ed	Allow BEGIN WORK to specify transaction isolation level, like START ... TRANSACTION.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	0150dbdce5	Allow libpq to do thread-safe SIGPIPE handling. This allows it to ... ignore SIGPIPE from send() in libpq, but terminate on any other SIGPIPE, unless the user installs their own signal handler. This is a minor fix because the only time you get SIGPIPE from libpq's send() is when the backend dies.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	acc57543de	German FAQ update. ... Ian Barwick	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	8c3f859ecf	Update Russian FAQ. ... Viktor Vislobokov	22 years ago
Tom Lane	a77e32d7c5	Apply the core parts of Dennis Bjorklund's patch to allow function ... parameters to be declared with names. pg_proc has a column to store names, and CREATE FUNCTION can insert data into it, but that's all as yet. I need to do more work on the pg_dump and plpgsql portions of the patch before committing those, but I thought I'd get the bulky changes in before the tree drifts under me. initdb forced due to pg_proc change.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	89aafae009	Favor Freenode rather than EFnet in IRC listing. Freenode is more popular.	22 years ago
Neil Conway	bc028beb16	Make the 'wal_debug' GUC variable a boolean (rather than an integer), and ... hide it behind #ifdef WAL_DEBUG blocks.	22 years ago
Neil Conway	71998c1e51	Remove an old and out-of-date SGML comment from this file: we already ... have WAL, outer joins, and TOAST.	22 years ago

Bruce Momjian	a922472a2a	Supress non-temp schemas from psql \dn display.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	9adaf64da3	Mop-up for HAS_TEST_AND_SET refactoring. Un-break two or three platforms ... that were broken, try to make layout of s_lock.h entries consistent, use HAVE_SPINLOCKS in preference to HAS_TEST_AND_SET everywhere outside s_lock.h itself.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	5015cf01eb	Fix broken markup, adjust 7.4.1 release date, re-sync HEAD with branch.	22 years ago

Bruce Momjian	1ee0ddf91d	Another markup fix for recent patch.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	4e005c9095	Fix broken markup.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	54c8e821b8	In my mind there were two categories of open issues ... a) ones that are 100% backward (such as the comment about outputting this format) and b) ones that aren't (such as deprecating the current postgresql shorthand of '1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 minute in favor of the ISO-8601 'P1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 month. Attached is a patch that addressed all the discussed issues that did not break backward compatability, including the ability to output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to iso8601basic. Interval values can now be written as ISO 8601 time intervals, using the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with the character 'P', followed by a string of values followed by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and time parts of the interval.
