Andrew Dunstan	5133dd786b	Interpret a dbName param to PQsetdbLogin as a conninfo string if it contains an = sign. Tom Lane and Andrew Dunstan.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	93b4f0ff77	Set pg_am.amstrategies to zero for index AMs that don't have fixed ... operator strategy numbers, ie, GiST and GIN. This is almost cosmetic enough to not need a catversion bump, but since the opr_sanity regression test has to change in sync with the catalog entry, I figured I'd better do one.	19 years ago

Bruce Momjian	421c1ca48d	Back out double-run of PDF/PS output. Requires building bookindex.sgml ... properly. Remove SGML docs about openjade performance patch, and instead add comment in style sheet where indenting code is commented out. Backpatch to 8.2.X.	19 years ago

Peter Eisentraut	5f1f30d136	Reorganize XSLT stylesheet support. Put common things into a separate ... file (instead of repeating), add XSL-FO stylesheet and appropriate make rules.	19 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	0a265e487b	Add some information about increasing JadeTeX parameters.	19 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	465269b8ad	Drop indentation of verbatim environments in print output. This increased ... the build time by what seemed like infinity.	19 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	c605441c79	Generalize Texinfo rules. Prevent them from overriding the PostScript ... build rules.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	0cb91ccba9	Remove the logId/logSeg fields from pg_control, because they are not needed ... in normal operation, and we can avoid rewriting pg_control at every log segment switch if we don't insist that these values be valid. Reducing the number of pg_control updates is a good idea for both performance and reliability. It does make pg_resetxlog's life a bit harder, but that seems a good tradeoff; and anyway the change to pg_resetxlog amounts to automating something people formerly needed to do by hand, namely look at the existing pg_xlog files to make sure the new WAL start point was past them. In passing, change the wording of xlog.c's "database system was interrupted" messages: describe the pg_control timestamp as "last known up at" rather than implying it is the exact time of service interruption. With this change the timestamp will generally be the time of the last checkpoint, which could be many minutes before the failure; and we've already seen indications that people tend to misinterpret the old wording. initdb forced due to change in pg_control layout. Simon Riggs and Tom Lane	19 years ago
Tom Lane	98cacd1a0a	Fix broken markup.	19 years ago
Neil Conway	886a02d1cb	Add a txn_start column to pg_stat_activity. This makes it easier to ... identify long-running transactions. Since we already need to record the transaction-start time (e.g. for now()), we don't need any additional system calls to report this information. Catversion bumped, initdb required.	19 years ago

Tom Lane	a88ec7b4bb	Some more supported-platforms updates: buildfarm hare is alive again, ... and penguin reported in recently enough to justify the assumption that we haven't broken ARM support in 8.2.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	c184470be3	Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-level ... locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost. It seems unlikely that we will be able to fix this before 8.3...	19 years ago

Tom Lane	f378ccc261	Minor wording improvements.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	da6daee216	Adjust the description of locking to clarify that locks held by a ... subtransaction are released if the subtransaction aborts --- in user-level terminology, this means either rolling back to a savepoint or escaping from a plpgsql exception block. Per recent suggestion from Simon.	19 years ago
Tom Lane	cd99debb3d	Update supported-platforms list based on recent buildfarm results.	19 years ago
