53e3f9dcfd Add documentation mention that FSM == Free Space Map, so the config
parameter name makes more sense.

e07904b0a4 Add note on PostgreSQL vs. Postgres. 2007-10-30 23:06:06 +00:00
406ee67c9a Update some obsolete stuff in the GRANT and REVOKE reference pages:
simplify the syntax examples by unifying user and group cases, and fix
no-longer-correct example of psql \z output.  Per Erwin Brandstetter.

897313e824 Add a note pointing out that some other databases make GREATEST and
LEAST handle NULL arguments differently than we do.  Per a discussion
on 30-Jun that somehow didn't get done.

96805a18c6 Clarify restart is of the "database" server, in FAQ. 2007-10-29 17:22:20 +00:00
f9e83a5588 Remove claim that ts_headline knows how to generate multiple ellipsis-separated
excerpts of a document.  That's clearly desirable, but the functionality
is not there yet.

d015d08b43 Rename default text search parser's "uri" token type to "url_path",
per recommendation from Alvaro.  This doesn't force initdb since the
numeric token type in the catalogs doesn't change; but note that
the expected regression test output changed.
2007-10-27 16:01:09 +00:00
2aac6f10f6 Minor wording improvements per suggestion from Jeff Davis. Also tweak
hyphenated-word parser examples per earlier discussion with Alvaro.

9ddfe034c7 Fix ALTER SEQUENCE so that it does not affect the value of currval() for
the sequence.  Also, make setval() with is_called = false not affect the
currval state, either.  Per report from Kris Jurka that an implicit
ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY unexpectedly caused currval() to become valid.
Since this isn't 100% backwards compatible, it will go into HEAD only;
I'll put a more limited patch into 8.2.
2007-10-25 18:54:03 +00:00
0e3ddc8dd5 Use more real-world examples in the text search parser documentation. 2007-10-25 13:06:35 +00:00
41f207620a Update release notes to current CVS. 2007-10-25 02:50:26 +00:00
048efc25e4 Disallow scrolling of FOR UPDATE/FOR SHARE cursors, so as to avoid problems
in corner cases such as re-fetching a just-deleted row.  We may be able to
relax this someday, but let's find out how many people really care before
we invest a lot of work in it.  Per report from Heikki and subsequent
discussion.

While in the neighborhood, make the combination of INSENSITIVE and FOR UPDATE
throw an error, since they are semantically incompatible.  (Up to now we've
accepted but just ignored the INSENSITIVE option of DECLARE CURSOR.)
2007-10-24 23:27:08 +00:00
8a35b07e18 Remove obsolete statement that you can't update through a cursor. 2007-10-24 22:55:52 +00:00
592c88a0d2 Remove the aggregate form of ts_rewrite(), since it doesn't work as desired
if there are zero rows to aggregate over, and the API seems both conceptually
and notationally ugly anyway.  We should look for something that improves
on the tsquery-and-text-SELECT version (which is also pretty ugly but at
least it works...), but it seems that will take query infrastructure that
doesn't exist today.  (Hm, I wonder if there's anything in or near SQL2003
window functions that would help?)  Per discussion.
2007-10-24 02:24:49 +00:00
dbaec70c15 Rename and slightly redefine the default text search parser's "word"
categories, as per discussion.  asciiword (formerly lword) is still
ASCII-letters-only, and numword (formerly word) is still the most general
mixed-alpha-and-digits case.  But word (formerly nlword) is now
any-group-of-letters-with-at-least-one-non-ASCII, rather than all-non-ASCII as
before.  This is no worse than before for parsing mixed Russian/English text,
which seems to have been the design center for the original coding; and it
should simplify matters for parsing most European languages.  In particular
it will not be necessary for any language to accept strings containing digits
as being regular "words".  The hyphenated-word categories are adjusted
similarly.

f551348417 Clarify example of planner cost computation, per a suggestion from
James Shaw.  Also update a couple of examples to reflect 8.3's improved
plan-printing code.
2007-10-22 21:34:33 +00:00
3e17ef1cfa Adjust ts_debug's output as per my proposal of yesterday: show the
active dictionary and its output lexemes as separate columns, instead
of smashing them into one text column, and lowercase the column names.
Also, define the output rowtype using OUT parameters instead of a
composite type, to be consistent with the other built-in functions.

6088bfb8b6 Create a quick-and-dirty list of known migration issues for pre-8.3
users of tsearch.  This isn't meant to be permanent documentation,
but to call out the areas that need either fixing or real documentation.
2007-10-22 03:37:04 +00:00
dfc6f130b4 Editorial overhaul for text search documentation. Organize the info
more clearly, improve a lot of unclear descriptions, add some missing
material.  We still need a migration guide though.

41a312a1f6 Add a note pointing out that you can't log to syslog without tweaking
the syslog configuration file (at least not on most known Unixen).
I dunno why we hadn't had that info in the docs all along ...

2007-10-17 17:34:51 +00:00
6efae5bf2a Another round of editorialization on the text search documentation.
Notably, standardize on using "token" for the strings output by a parser,
while "lexeme" is reserved for the normalized strings produced by a
dictionary.
