Bruce Momjian	ae94f10397	Update documentation that non-super users can now do ALTER OWNER.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	83357da684	Cause ALTER INDEX OWNER to generate a warning and do nothing, rather than ... erroring out as it has done for the last couple weeks. Document that this form is now ignored because indexes can't usefully have different owners from their parent tables. Fix pg_dump to not generate ALTER OWNER commands for indexes.	21 years ago
Bruce Momjian	a7f49252d2	enable_constraint_exclusion => constraint_exclusion ... Also improve wording.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	6fcaaf29da	Minor GUC cleanups: document krb_server_hostname and custom_variable_classes ... in postgresql.conf.sample, mark custom_variable_classes as SIGHUP not POSTMASTER to agree with the documentation (I can't see a reason it has to be POSTMASTER so I think the docs are right).	21 years ago

Bruce Momjian	070a3ad76b	Rename pg_stat_file columns to be more consistent. Split apart change ... and creation columns to behave for Unix or Win32.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	2498d8296e	Clean up some stray remaining references to pg_shadow, pg_user, pg_group.	21 years ago

Tom Lane	8ae0d476a9	Update the createuser utility for the ROLEs world. Alvaro Herrera	21 years ago
Tom Lane	84ccf7212c	Fix up tab completion for ROLEs and add some more completion logic for ... other stuff; change \du and \dg to be role-aware (Stefan Kaltenbrunner). Also make tab completion fetch the list of GUC variables from pg_settings instead of having a hard-wired copy of the list (Tom Lane).	21 years ago
Tom Lane	2af9a44fa9	Make pg_stat_file() use OUT parameters so that the user doesn't have to ... remember the output parameter set for himself. It's a bit of a kluge but fixing array_in to work in bootstrap mode looks worse. I removed the separate pg_file_length() function, as it no longer has any real notational advantage --- you can write (pg_stat_file(...)).length.	21 years ago
Bruce Momjian	03be45fbe6	CREATE TABLE has optional column names, so change {} to []. ... Alvaro.	21 years ago
Bruce Momjian	abecf1afc2	Add documentation: ... >>>I think a more accurate description would be "permissions not >>>inherited by children," and that isn't necessarily a bug. >> >>I agree it may not be a bug - but it's more than the permissions not >>being inherited: the parent is affected. > > > Not really, once you understand what's happening. Unless you use > FROM ONLY, selecting from the parent selects from the parent *and* > its children. The parent itself isn't affected, as queries with > FROM ONLY should demonstrate. I understand what you're saying -- > that there's an apparent effect on the parent -- but there really > isn't. Sean Burlington	21 years ago
Tom Lane	59c016aa9f	Pass the type OID as the typioparam for all non-array types, rather than ... only composite types as we did in 8.0. Per discussion with Martijn van Oosterhout.	21 years ago
Bruce Momjian	fab177e64f	Improve documention on loading large data sets into plperl. ... David Fetter	21 years ago
Tom Lane	a43ea120bf	Code & docs review for server instrumentation patch. File timestamps ... should surely be timestamptz not timestamp; fix some but not all of the holes in check_and_make_absolute(); other minor cleanup. Also put in the missed catversion bump.	21 years ago
Bruce Momjian	cb29f669b0	Add markup for GUC mention in docs.	21 years ago
Bruce Momjian	b609695b7a	Add files to do read I/O on the cluster directory: ... pg_stat_file() pg_read_file() pg_ls_dir() pg_reload_conf() pg_rotate_logfile() Dave Page Andreas Pflug	21 years ago
Tom Lane	721e53785d	Solve the problem of OID collisions by probing for duplicate OIDs ... whenever we generate a new OID. This prevents occasional duplicate-OID errors that can otherwise occur once the OID counter has wrapped around. Duplicate relfilenode values are also checked for when creating new physical files. Per my recent proposal.	21 years ago
Tom Lane	d90c531188	Autovacuum loose end mop-up. Provide autovacuum-specific vacuum cost ... delay and limit, both as global GUCs and as table-specific entries in pg_autovacuum. stats_reset_on_server_start is now OFF by default, but a reset is forced if we did WAL replay. XID-wrap vacuums do not ANALYZE, but do FREEZE if it's a template database. Alvaro Herrera	21 years ago

Tom Lane	cbd015d718	Extend pg_config to be able to report the build-time values of CC, ... CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CFLAGS_SL, LDFLAGS, LDFLAGS_SL, and LIBS. Change it so that invoking pg_config with no arguments reports all available information, rather than just giving an error message. Per discussion.	21 years ago

Tom Lane	33f5bf9700	ALTER TABLE OWNER must change the ownership of the table's rowtype too. ... This was not especially critical before, but it is now that we track ownership dependencies --- the dependency for the rowtype *must* shift to the new owner. Spotted by Bernd Helmle. Also fix a problem introduced by recent change to allow non-superusers to do ALTER OWNER in some cases: if the table had a toast table, ALTER OWNER failed *even for superusers*, because the test being applied would conclude that the new would-be owner had no create rights on pg_toast. A side-effect of the fix is to disallow changing the ownership of indexes or toast tables separately from their parent table, which seems a good idea on the whole.	21 years ago

Bruce Momjian	a85e5d1b1b	Add description: ... < This would require a new global table that is dumped to flat file for < use by the postmaster. We do a similar thing for pg_shadow currently. > This would add a function to load the SQL table from > pg_hba.conf, and one to writes its contents to the flat file. > The table should have a line number that is a float so rows > can be inserted between existing rows, e.g. row 2.5 goes > between row 2 and row 3.	21 years ago
