4a43b24cec Enable some additional warnings when running openjade and onsgmls. 2004-03-01 16:08:58 +00:00
e3f27c1847 Fix a typo in a recent commit to func.sgml that apparently broke the doc
build for some versions of OpenJade (unfortunately, my local version of
OpenJade didn't report the error...) -- thanks to Andrew Dunstan for
the report.
2004-02-29 15:45:53 +00:00
fd015c5c99 Fix a bunch (~88) typos that the OpenJade tools don't warn about by
default: some SGML tags weren't properly terminated.

f83356c7f5 Do a direct probe during postmaster startup to determine the maximum
number of openable files and the number already opened.  This eliminates
depending on sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX), and allows much saner behavior on
platforms where open-file slots are used up by semaphores.

d46b1f904e Minor editorializing on cost-based vacuum description. 2004-02-17 07:36:47 +00:00
ee33fe889e Significant improvements to the documentation for the new cost-based
vacuum delay feature, including updating the docs for Tom's recent
improvements. There is still more work to be done here: for example,
adding some more information on the practical use of cost-based
vacuum delay to the "maintenance" section would probably be a good
idea.

patch.

c53611e3e7 This patch brings up to date what I did last year (now unfortunately
bitrotted) to allow the logging of the end of a session, enabled by
the config setting "log_disconnections".

6dfb2b2517 Minor SGML markup improvements. 2004-02-17 02:53:03 +00:00
f0c9397f80 First steps towards statistics on expressional (nee functional) indexes.
This commit teaches ANALYZE to store such stats in pg_statistic, but
nothing is done yet about teaching the planner to use 'em.
Also, repair longstanding oversight in separate ANALYZE command: it
updated the pg_class.relpages and reltuples counts for the table proper,
but not for indexes.

Oh ... didn't know that you did a backpatch. Sorry

someone asked me about the FK deadlock fix, mentioned in the 7.3.3
release notes as 3rd change:

     http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-7-3-3.html

Actually, that fix was available with 7.4, not 7.3. Don't know if we can
retroactively change the release-notes though.

A better workaround for the sentence would be something like:

        "and it also happens that the user always has permission"

Looks easier to read, I think.

391c3811a2 Rename SortMem and VacuumMem to work_mem and maintenance_work_mem.
Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints
use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit.
Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their
old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.

and PL/pgSQL only prints queries on first function call.

you'd need to do one to get the improved view.
