Tom Lane	1e9a1a70ad	Change array_push and array_cat so that they retain the lower bound of ... the array (for array_push) or higher-dimensional array (for array_cat) rather than decrementing it as before. This avoids generating lower bounds other than one for any array operation within the SQL spec. Per recent discussion. Interestingly, this seems to have been the original behavior, because while updating the docs I noticed that a large fraction of relevant examples were *wrong* for the old behavior and are now right. Is it worth correcting this in the back-branch docs?	20 years ago

Tom Lane	cecb607559	Make SQL arrays support null elements. This commit fixes the core array ... functionality, but I still need to make another pass looking at places that incidentally use arrays (such as ACL manipulation) to make sure they are null-safe. Contrib needs work too. I have not changed the behaviors that are still under discussion about array comparison and what to do with lower bounds.	20 years ago

Bruce Momjian	819159709f	I have applied the following patch to document PQinitSSL() and ... PQregisterThreadLock(). I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt(). Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it seemed unwise. I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().	20 years ago
