2007-01-05 01:19:04 +00:00
4fe7a6b51e
Fix erroneous implementation of -s in postmaster.c (the switch doesn't take
...
an optarg). Add some comments noting that code in three different files has
to be kept in sync. Fix erroneous description of -S switch (it sets work_mem
not silent_mode), and do some light copy-editing elsewhere in postgres-ref.
2007-01-04 00:58:01 +00:00
094ccd1ca3
Use FROM clause in example UPDATE commands where appropriate. Also
...
remove long-obsolete statement that there isn't a check for infinite
recursion in view rules.

2006-12-19 21:58:43 +00:00
880dae5f2b
Back out double-run of PDF/PS output. Requires building bookindex.sgml
...
properly.
Remove SGML docs about openjade performance patch, and instead add
comment in style sheet where indenting code is commented out.
Backpatch to 8.2.X.
2006-12-15 16:50:10 +00:00
6d3985b46e
Drop indentation of verbatim environments in print output. This increased
...
the build time by what seemed like infinity.
2006-12-15 14:54:48 +00:00
169f9f4cb6
Document patch needed to get PDF and PS output in a reasonable amount of

time.

Run Jade twice when outputting Postscript and PDF so the index is

correct, add comments about other multiple runs in the Makefile.

2006-12-12 21:30:41 +00:00
9178874f34
Collect the bits of wisdom about dtrace installation in the installation
...
chapter rather than scattering them across several incomplete fragments.
(This makes the documentation consistent with the backported FAQ_Solaris.)
2006-12-12 16:07:42 +00:00

Backpatch FAQ entry for null concatenation.
2006-12-11 22:48:08 +00:00

2006-12-02 01:26:19 +00:00
b9dbb63e48

Editorial improvements for GIN documentation.
2006-12-01 23:46:46 +00:00
a88ec7b4bb
Some more supported-platforms updates: buildfarm hare is alive again,
...
and penguin reported in recently enough to justify the assumption that
we haven't broken ARM support in 8.2.
2006-12-01 21:17:51 +00:00
c184470be3
Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-level
...
locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction
overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost. It seems
unlikely that we will be able to fix this before 8.3...
2006-12-01 20:49:53 +00:00
b02414bb82
Editorial improvements to backup and warm-standby documentation.
2006-12-01 03:29:15 +00:00
f378ccc261
Minor wording improvements.
2006-12-01 03:19:48 +00:00
da6daee216
Adjust the description of locking to clarify that locks held by a
...
subtransaction are released if the subtransaction aborts --- in user-level
terminology, this means either rolling back to a savepoint or escaping from
a plpgsql exception block. Per recent suggestion from Simon.
2006-12-01 01:04:36 +00:00
cd99debb3d
Update supported-platforms list based on recent buildfarm results.
2006-11-30 21:30:22 +00:00
f1e3e3238d
Fix typos
2006-11-30 20:50:44 +00:00
7bbe35a540
Add an example showing how to cope with mixed-case names in pg_dump
...
switches.
2006-11-28 22:54:18 +00:00
c15de02f61
Fix inheritance description to note that not-null constraints are
...
inherited, per Taiki Yamaguchi.
2006-11-28 01:09:01 +00:00
81b0b06462
Make pg_restore usage examples more useful: illustrate restoring into
...
both the same database name and a different one.
2006-11-26 18:11:11 +00:00
50271fc9b3
Fix misspellings of GB.
2006-11-25 22:55:59 +00:00

Correct misspellings of kB.
2006-11-25 22:44:48 +00:00

Document that to_char() "TM" is controlled by lc_messages.
2006-11-25 00:38:53 +00:00
a7a3d0f0d9
Update release notes for RC1.
2006-11-24 23:31:55 +00:00
988a87a03a
Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-added
...
vacuum/analyze timestamp columns at the end, rather than at a random
spot in the middle as in the original patch. This was deemed more usable
as well as less likely to break existing application code. initdb forced
accordingly. In passing, remove former kluge for initializing
pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently
so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.
2006-11-24 21:18:42 +00:00
eb1fbbe5c4
Update wording:
...
> * Add a field 'isoyear' to extract(), based on the ISO week
2006-11-23 16:18:12 +00:00

Spelling and related minor fixes for the GIN docs.
2006-11-23 05:58:01 +00:00
34036c8658
More minor SGML improvements for xfunc.sgml, including making some
...
titles more concise. (We usually don't need to repeat the name of a
section in the title of one of its subsections.)
2006-11-23 05:43:32 +00:00
ebf071643a
Document that Kerberos is for authentication, and does not encrypt data
...
or queries over the network.
2006-11-23 05:39:17 +00:00

Fix a typo in recent xfunc addition, do some routine SGML police work.
2006-11-23 05:28:18 +00:00
3bd2e3e92b
Add:
...
> * Add ISO day of week format 'ID' to to_char() where Monday = 1
> * Add an ISO year field to extract() called 'isoyear'
2006-11-23 05:09:26 +00:00

Add "(assuming <varname>standard_conforming_strings</> is
...
<literal>off</>)" clauses for bytea.

Shared Memory Hooks Documentation
...
This patch, against xfunc.sgml, adds a new subsection 33.9.12, Shared
Memory and LWLocks in C-Language Functions, describing how shared memory
and lwlocks may be requested by C add-in functions.
