* Code review for NOWAIT patch: downgrade NOWAIT from fully reserved keywordTom Lane2004-10-01
| | | | | | to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect that case cleanly.

* This patch attempts to outline the supported level of SSL within libpq.Bruce Momjian2004-09-23
| | | | | | | | | I haven't mentioned any of ~/.postgresql/{root.crt,postgresql.crt,postresql.key} even though they are checked for in the code, since they do not appear to be supported. I base this on discussions in pgsql-hackers. Dominic Mitchell
* This patch attempts to note the use of the root.crt file in the server.Bruce Momjian2004-09-23
| | | | | | | | Given that PostgreSQL will output a message complaining about it's absence if you're using SSL mode, I feel it's important that it gets a mention in the documentation at some point. Dominic Mitchell

* Update installation docs for PL/Python to note that distutils is nowNeil Conway2004-09-23

* This patch from Alvaro Herrera adds transaction ID to the list ofNeil Conway2004-09-22
| | | | | | log_line_prefix escapes. The escape sequence used for this is %x. %x previously meant "postmaster et al. stop here" -- this has been renamed to %q.

* Fix some shortcomings in psql's autocommit-off mode concerning detectionTom Lane2004-09-20

* Now that I look, table 8-1 has some other marginal misstatements in it.Tom Lane2004-09-20
| | | | | If we're going to put brackets around optional precision specs in some entries, we'd better do it in all.

* Put the brackets in the right places in timestamp entries in table 8-1.Tom Lane2004-09-18
| | | | Spotted by Josh Purinton.
* Improve documentation of log rotation options, per Ed L.Tom Lane2004-09-17

* Allow WIN1250 as server encoding.Peter Eisentraut2004-09-17

* Hyperlink a reference to DROP CAST in the CREATE CAST reference page.Neil Conway2004-09-17
|
* Minor doc tweak: mention that function names can be optionally schema-Neil Conway2004-09-16
| | | | qualified.
* Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTEDTom Lane2004-09-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than using the latest interactive command's snapshot. Also, suppress fresh snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested regular query. (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.) As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any action. Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.
* Fire non-deferred AFTER triggers immediately upon query completion,Tom Lane2004-09-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | rather than when returning to the idle loop. This makes no particular difference for interactively-issued queries, but it makes a big difference for queries issued within functions: trigger execution now occurs before the calling function is allowed to proceed. This responds to numerous complaints about nonintuitive behavior of foreign key checking, such as http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-09/msg00020.php, and appears to be required by the SQL99 spec. Also take the opportunity to simplify the data structures used for the pending-trigger list, rename them for more clarity, and squeeze out a bit of space.
* Clarify description of SET CONSTRAINTS. Point out that it is stillTom Lane2004-09-08
| | | | missing the ability to schema-qualify constraint names.
* Remove a stray reference to sequences as having tablespaces.Tom Lane2004-09-01
|
* Add a note about the difference between Postgres' treatment of the rightsTom Lane2004-09-01
| | | | of an object owner and the SQL spec's treatment of these rights.
* Add index mention:Bruce Momjian2004-09-01
| | | | | | <P>In pre-8.0 releases, indexes often can not be used unless the data types exactly match the index's column types. This is particularly true of int2, int8, and numeric column indexes.</P>
* Replace log_filename_prefix with more general log_filename parameter,Tom Lane2004-08-31
| | | | | | | to allow DBA to choose the form in which log filenames reflect the current time. Also allow for truncating instead of appending to pre-existing files --- this is convenient when the log filename pattern rewrites the same names cyclically. Per Ed L.
* Avoid ambiguity, as per suggestion from Peter Stricker.Tom Lane2004-08-30
|
* Rather than referring to src/tutorial/README, put the build instructionsTom Lane2004-08-30
| | | | for the tutorial files right here.
* Add note that contrib/rserv is gone.Tom Lane2004-08-30
|
* Add explicit note that empty-string array element values now have toTom Lane2004-08-30
| | | | be written with quotes. Minor copy-editing too.
* Add WAL logging for CREATE/DROP DATABASE and CREATE/DROP TABLESPACE.Tom Lane2004-08-29
| | | | | | | | Fix TablespaceCreateDbspace() to be able to create a dummy directory in place of a dropped tablespace's symlink. This eliminates the open problem of a PANIC during WAL replay when a replayed action attempts to touch a file in a since-deleted tablespace. It also makes for a significant improvement in the usability of PITR replay.
