c3f1b0f4dd This doc patch replaces all inappropriate references to SQL:1999 when it
is used as if it were the latest (and/or still valid) SQL standard.
SQL:2003 is used in its place. Patch from Simon Riggs.

73f630500b Add support for temporary views, including documentation and regression
tests. Contributed by Koju Iijima, review from Neil Conway, Gavin Sherry
and Tom Lane.

Also, fix error in description of WITH CHECK OPTION clause in the CREATE
VIEW reference page: it should be "CASCADED", not "CASCADE".

98e8b48053 Create 'default_tablespace' GUC variable that supplies a TABLESPACE
clause implicitly whenever one is not given explicitly.  Remove concept
of a schema having an associated tablespace, and simplify the rules for
selecting a default tablespace for a table or index.  It's now just
(a) explicit TABLESPACE clause; (b) default_tablespace if that's not an
empty string; (c) database's default.  This will allow pg_dump to use
SET commands instead of tablespace clauses to determine object locations
(but I didn't actually make it do so).  All per recent discussions.

12a47c6aca Disallow referential integrity actions from being deferred; only the
NO ACTION check is deferrable.  This seems to be a closer approximation
to what the SQL spec says than what we were doing before, and it prevents
some anomalous behaviors that are possible now that triggers can fire
during the execution of PL functions.

2467394ee1 Tablespaces. Alternate database locations are dead, long live tablespaces.
There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation.  Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE.  Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

Gavin Sherry and Tom Lane.

3b7ca96c2c Clean up rather poor description of the difference between INHERITS and
LIKE.  Per gripe from Patrick Samson.
2004-03-22 16:18:50 +00:00
80ec228389 Refer to GUC variables using <xref> tags rather than <varname> tags,
where appropriate. Add "id" and "xreflabel" tags to the descriptions
of the GUC variables to facilitate this. Also make a few minor docs
cleanups.
2004-03-09 16:57:47 +00:00
1a6a27650d Add a few more xrefs, where they seemed appropriate: for example, refer
to the discussion of planner statistics in the documentation for the
default_statistics_target GUC var.
2004-03-01 17:58:39 +00:00
7ce9b7c0d8 This patch adds a new GUC var, "default_with_oids", which follows the
proposal for eventually deprecating OIDs on user tables that I posted
earlier to pgsql-hackers. pg_dump now always specifies WITH OIDS or
WITHOUT OIDS when dumping a table. The documentation has been updated.

db15b9b6cf Repair error in syntax documentation for CREATE TABLE: one does not put
a comma between multiple column_constraint's for a single column.
Per report from Tomislaw Kitynski.

RESTRICT is not deferrable to the create table reference
page.

e9cda08b2b Brief note about sequence cache not being cleared in other backends.
Actually clear the cache in the backend making the alteration.  This
follows in the footsteps of setval().

ac5fdea687 When a TIMESTAMP, TIME, or INTERVAL precision is specified larger than our
implementation limits, do not issue an ERROR; instead issue a NOTICE and use
the max supported value.  Per pgsql-general discussion of 28-Apr, this is
needed to allow easy porting from pre-7.3 releases where the limits were
higher.

Unrelated change in same area: accept GLOBAL TEMP/TEMPORARY as a synonym
for TEMPORARY, as per pgsql-hackers discussion of 15-Apr.  We previously
rejected it, but that was based on a misreading of the spec --- SQL92's
GLOBAL temp tables are really closer to what we have than their LOCAL ones.

3f4f235f79 Another try at correctly explaining the difference between Postgres and
SQL92 temp tables.  Possibly I got it right this time.

be2b660ecd This patch includes a lot of minor cleanups to the SGML documentation,
including:

- replacing all the appropriate usages of <citetitle>PostgreSQL
...</citetitle> with &cite-user;, &cite-admin;, and so on

- fix an omission in the EXECUTE documentation

- add some more text to the EXPLAIN documentation

- improve the PL/PgSQL RETURN NEXT documentation (more work to do here)

- minor markup fixes

f9b5b41ef9 Code review for ON COMMIT patch. Make the actual on-commit action happen
before commit, not after :-( --- the original coding is not only unsafe
if an error occurs while it's processing, but it generates an invalid
sequence of WAL entries.  Resurrect 7.2 logic for deleting items when
no longer needed.  Use an enum instead of random macros.  Editorialize
on names used for routines and constants.  Teach backend/nodes routines
about new field in CreateTable struct.  Add a regression test.
2002-11-11 22:19:25 +00:00
ebb531836a Add code to handle [ON COMMIT { PRESERVE ROWS | DELETE ROWS | DROP }]
for temp tables.

81efc82608 This patch fixes a minor inaccuracy in the documentation: NOT NULL is
not synonymous with CHECK (xxx IS NOT NULL) -- for example, consider
ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY, which checks for 'NOT NULL', not a check
constraint.
