Joe Conway	da8325fa5c	Updated release notes for recent array syntax changes.	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	8e953e6fbb	Update admin guide's discussion of WAL to match present reality.	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
Bruce Momjian	ff9d69d931	This patch adds SQL2003 to the set of standards with which PostgreSQL ... is attempting to comply. David Fetter	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	2539edc53f	This adds a caveat to the inheritance part of the tutorial. ... David Fetter	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	0236b5e07e	This patch adds an example to the CREATE DOMAIN docs. ... David Fetter	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	ff8d68df5c	Included is an example of using savepoints in a non-trivial example. ... Giving examples in the SQL command reference is hard because we don't have conditionals at the SQL level. Gavin Sherry	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
Tom Lane	27fedc8a5e	Improve privileges discussion (mostly, mention grant options).	22 years ago
Tom Lane	82433e913c	Update a couple of example error messages to reflect the fact that we ... don't generate constraint names like "$1" anymore.	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
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	ca9540d34f	Add docs for initdb --auth.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	9d623ed252	Minor release wording improvments.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	9c8d0850c3	Support "OR condition ..." in plpgsql EXCEPTION clauses to make the syntax ... more nearly Oracle-equivalent. Allow matching by category as well as specific error code. Document the set of available condition names (or more accurately, synchronize it with the existing documentation). In passing, update errcodes.sgml to include codes added during 7.5 development.	22 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	ea7a8b9ed7	Remove obsolete files	22 years ago
Tom Lane	beda4814c1	plpgsql does exceptions. ... There are still some things that need refinement; in particular I fear that the recognized set of error condition names probably has little in common with what Oracle recognizes. But it's a start.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	b5d2821929	Fix broken markup, release date.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	6b771dfa38	Remove mention that we can't trap function errors.	22 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	adf57cd7e2	PostgreSQL extension makefile framework ("pgxs"), by Fabien Coelho, with ... some massaging by Peter Eisentraut. This is basically a simple generalization of the existing contrib makefiles.	22 years ago

Bruce Momjian	a2abe9fe58	Update 7.5 release notes.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	0655b26282	log_destination should only be PGC_SIGHUP, not PGC_POSTMASTER, as per ... discussion yesterday. Also a few improvements in the associated documentation.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	cbcd8b5bec	First draft of 7.5 release notes. Still needs markup, additional major ... items, and detailed text descriptions.	22 years ago
Tom Lane	2042b3428d	Invent WAL timelines, as per recent discussion, to make point-in-time ... recovery more manageable. Also, undo recent change to add FILE_HEADER and WASTED_SPACE records to XLOG; instead make the XLOG page header variable-size with extra fields in the first page of an XLOG file. This should fix the boundary-case bugs observed by Mark Kirkwood. initdb forced due to change of XLOG representation.	22 years ago
Bruce Momjian	8eeae3e11c	Please find enclosed a patch that matches the PL/Perl documentation ... (fairly closely, I hope) to the current PL/Perl implementation. David Fetter	22 years ago
