* Rename pg_complete_relation_size() to pg_total_relation_size(), for theNeil Conway2005-09-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | sake of brevity and clarity. Make pg_reload_conf(), pg_rotate_logfile(), and pg_cancel_backend() return a boolean rather than an integer to indicate success or failure. Along the way, make some minor cleanups to dbsize.c -- in particular, use elog() rather than ereport() for "shouldn't happen" error conditions, and remove some of the more flagrant violations of the Postgres indentation conventions. Catalog version bumped.

* Add note about pg_autovacuum settings not being saved on a dump, perAlvaro Herrera2005-09-16

* Various documentation improvements. Add a lot of index entries forNeil Conway2005-09-14
| | | | | | | | | the builtin functions (although some more entries are still needed), and remove the duplicate index entries that have been causing collateindex.pl warnings. Consistently use "int" and "bigint", rather than a mix of "int", "integer", "int4", "bigint", and "int8". Make parenthesis style in syntax examples more consistent. Various copy-editing for newly-added documentation and SGML markup fixes.

* Minor documentation tweak: make the capitalization of a section titleNeil Conway2005-09-12
| | | | consistent with the other sections in this chapter.
* Make the documentation of GUC variables a separate chapter, rather thanNeil Conway2005-09-12
| | | | | | a section of the "Server Run-time Environment" chapter. Also, move the SGML for the new chapter to a separate file and fix the resulting fallout.
* Update manual's introduction to indexes to reflect 8.1 changes; inTom Lane2005-09-12
| | | | | | particular the addition of bitmap scans and the relaxation of rules about when multicolumn indexes can be used. Also some minor editorial work in other parts of the chapter.

* Forgot to add pg_pltemplate to the list of shared system catalogs thatTom Lane2005-09-12

* Add a few items to the release notes, and make a few more minor cleanups.Neil Conway2005-09-12
|
* Many small improvements and copy edits to the release notes. Use "&mdash;"Neil Conway2005-09-11
| | | | | | rather than "-" for the "dash" character. Correct SGML markup. Make references to the names of contributors more consistent. Rewrite a bit of prose, and make some other similar cleanups.
* Update URL for FAQ_MINGW.Bruce Momjian2005-09-10

* Fix the various forms of AT TIME ZONE to accept either timezones foundTom Lane2005-09-09
| | | | | | | | | in the zic database or zone names found in the date token table. This preserves the old ability to do AT TIME ZONE 'PST' along with the new ability to do AT TIME ZONE 'PST8PDT'. Per gripe from Bricklen Anderson. Also, fix some inconsistencies in usage of TZ_STRLEN_MAX --- the old code had the potential for one-byte buffer overruns, though given alignment considerations it's unlikely there was any real risk.
* Create the pg_pltemplate system catalog to hold template informationTom Lane2005-09-08
| | | | | | for procedural languages. This replaces the hard-wired table I had originally proposed as a stopgap solution. For the moment, the initial contents only include languages shipped with the core distribution.
* Implement a preliminary 'template' facility for procedural languages,Tom Lane2005-09-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | as per my recent proposal. For now the template data is hard-wired in proclang.c --- this should be replaced later by a new shared system catalog, but we don't want to force initdb during 8.1 beta. This change lets us cleanly load existing dump files even if they contain outright wrong information about a PL's support functions, such as a wrong path to the shared library or a missing validator function. Also, we can revert the recent kluges to make pg_dump dump PL support functions that are stored in pg_catalog. While at it, I removed the code in pg_regress that replaced $libdir with a hardcoded path for temporary installations. This is no longer needed given our support for relocatable installations.
