* Require execute permission on the trigger function for CREATE TRIGGER.Tom Lane2012-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This check was overlooked when we added function execute permissions to the system years ago. For an ordinary trigger function it's not a big deal, since trigger functions execute with the permissions of the table owner, so they couldn't do anything the user issuing the CREATE TRIGGER couldn't have done anyway. However, if a trigger function is SECURITY DEFINER, that is not the case. The lack of checking would allow another user to install it on his own table and then invoke it with, essentially, forged input data; which the trigger function is unlikely to realize, so it might do something undesirable, for instance insert false entries in an audit log table. Reported by Dinesh Kumar, patch by Robert Haas Security: CVE-2012-0866

| | | | preserve pg_class oids since PG 9.0.
* Add some weasel wording about threaded usage of PGresults.Tom Lane2011-12-02
| | | | | | PGresults used to be read-only from the application's viewpoint, but now that we've exposed various functions that allow modification of a PGresult, that sweeping statement is no longer accurate. Noted by Dmitriy Igrishin.
* Clarify documentation about SQL:2008 variant of LIMIT/OFFSET syntax.Tom Lane2011-12-01
| | | | | The point that you need parentheses for non-constant expressions apparently needs to be brought out a bit more clearly, per bug #6315.
* Update information about configuring SysV IPC parameters on NetBSD.Tom Lane2011-11-30
| | | | Per Emmanuel Kasper, sysctl works fine as of NetBSD 5.0.

* Remove erroneous claim about use of pg_locks.objid for advisory locks.Tom Lane2011-11-28
| | | | | | | | | The correct information appears in the text, so just remove the statement in the table, where it did not fit nicely anyway. (Curiously, the correct info has been there much longer than the erroneous table entry.) Resolves problem noted by Daniele Varrazzo. In HEAD and 9.1, also do a bit of wordsmithing on other text on the page.

* Fix archive_command examplePeter Eisentraut2011-11-04
| | | | | The given archive_command example didn't use %p or %f, which wouldn't really work in practice.

* Typo fixes.Tom Lane2011-10-26

* Throw a useful error message if an extension script file is fed to psql.Tom Lane2011-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We have seen one too many reports of people trying to use 9.1 extension files in the old-fashioned way of sourcing them in psql. Not only does that usually not work (due to failure to substitute for MODULE_PATHNAME and/or @extschema@), but if it did work they'd get a collection of loose objects not an extension. To prevent this, insert an \echo ... \quit line that prints a suitable error message into each extension script file, and teach commands/extension.c to ignore lines starting with \echo. That should not only prevent any adverse consequences of loading a script file the wrong way, but make it crystal clear to users that they need to do it differently now. Tom Lane, following an idea of Andrew Dunstan's. Back-patch into 9.1 ... there is not going to be much value in this if we wait till 9.2.
* Modify up/home macro to match standard parameter list; fixes doc build.Bruce Momjian2011-10-12
|
* Improve documentation of psql's \q command.Tom Lane2011-10-12
| | | | | | The documentation neglected to explain its behavior in a script file (it only ends execution of the script, not psql as a whole), and failed to mention the long form \quit either.
* Add Up/Home link to the top of the HTML doc output.Bruce Momjian2011-10-12
| | | | Backpatch to 9.0.X and 9.1.X.
* Document that not backing up postmaster.pid and postmaster.opts mightBruce Momjian2011-10-11
| | | | | | help prevent pg_ctl from getting confused. Backpatch to 9.1.
* Improve documentation of how to fiddle with SCSI drives on FreeBSD.Robert Haas2011-10-10
| | | | Per suggestions from Achilleas Mantzios and Greg Smith.

* Note that sslmode=require verifies the CA if root cert is presentMagnus Hagander2011-09-24
| | | | | | | | This mode still exists for backwards compatibility, making sslmode=require the same as sslmode=verify-ca when the file is present, but not causing an error when it isn't. Per bug 6189, reported by Srinivas Aji

* In pg_upgrade, disallow migration of 8.3 clusters using contrib/ltreeBruce Momjian2011-09-07

* Add an "incompatibility" entry to 9.1 release notes about CREATE EXTENSION.Tom Lane2011-09-06
| | | | | | We've now seen more than one gripe from somebody who didn't get the memo about how to install contrib modules in 9.1. Try to make it a little more prominent that you aren't supposed to call the scripts directly anymore.
