* Put a tad more detail in the discussion of postmaster and postgresTom Lane2003-09-18
| | | | signal handling.
* Add/edit index entries.Peter Eisentraut2003-08-31
|
* Apply (a somewhat revised version of) Greg Mullane's patch to eliminateTom Lane2003-07-29
| | | | | | | | | heuristic determination of day vs month in date/time input. Add the ability to specify that input is interpreted as yy-mm-dd order (which formerly worked, but only for yy greater than 31). DateStyle's input component now has the preferred spellings DMY, MDY, or YMD; the older keywords European and US are now aliases for the first two of these. Per recent discussions on pgsql-general.
* Portal and memory management infrastructure for extended query protocol.Tom Lane2003-05-02
| | | | | | | | | Both plannable queries and utility commands are now always executed within Portals, which have been revamped so that they can handle the load (they used to be good only for single SELECT queries). Restructure code to push command-completion-tag selection logic out of postgres.c, so that it won't have to be duplicated between simple and extended queries. initdb forced due to addition of a field to Query nodes.
* Merge documentation into one book. (Build with "make html".) ReplacePeter Eisentraut2003-03-25
| | | | vague cross-references with real links.
* Another big editing pass for consistent content and presentation.Peter Eisentraut2003-03-24

* This patch includes a lot of minor cleanups to the SGML documentation,Bruce Momjian2003-01-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | including: - replacing all the appropriate usages of <citetitle>PostgreSQL ...</citetitle> with &cite-user;, &cite-admin;, and so on - fix an omission in the EXECUTE documentation - add some more text to the EXPLAIN documentation - improve the PL/PgSQL RETURN NEXT documentation (more work to do here) - minor markup fixes Neil Conway

* Assorted reference page updatesPeter Eisentraut2002-10-11

* Structure reference pages consistently. Document that structure.Peter Eisentraut2002-07-28
| | | | Add information about environment variables.
* Augment the date/time examples in the User's Guide to reflect the newerThomas G. Lockhart2002-04-21
| | | | | | | | | capabilities of specifying time zones as intervals per SQL9x. Put refentrytitle contents on the same line as the tag. Otherwise, leading whitespace is propagated into the product, which (at least) messes up the ToC layout. Remove (some) docinfo tags containing dates. Best to omit if the dates are not accurate; maybe use CVS dates instead or leave them out.

* Make the world somewhat safe for (not from) DELETE FROM pg_shadow;Peter Eisentraut2001-09-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb. A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1. (Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.) In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined. Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no users are defined. Disallow dropping the current user and session user. Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd. (Previously, it would never grant it back. This could lead to "deadlocks".) CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100 (unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

* Start updating for the v7.0 release.Thomas G. Lockhart2000-03-27

* Fix markup for docbook2man man page generation.Thomas G. Lockhart1999-07-06
| | | | | | | No big deal; fixed lots of other markup at the same time. Bigest change: make sure there is no whitespace in front of <term> contents. This will probably help the other output types too.
