Bruce Momjian 3332e38189 Disable expanded mode only for \d tablename, not for all backslash
commands.  Per complaint that \df+ is clearer in expanded mode.

Bruce Momjian 807da29cf3 Add items from Tom:
< 	o Add a GUC variable to allow output of interval values in ISO8601
< 	  format
212a211,223
> 	o Add a GUC variable to allow output of interval values in ISO8601
> 	  format
> 	o Improve timestamptz subtraction to be DST-aware
>
> 	  Currently, subtracting one date from another that crosses a
> 	  daylight savings time adjustment can return '1 day 1 hour', but
> 	  adding that back to the first date returns a time one hour in
> 	  the future.  This is caused by the adjustment of '25 hours' to
> 	  '1 day 1 hour', and '1 day' is the same time the next day, even
> 	  if daylight savings adjustments are involved.
>
> 	o Fix interval display to support values exceeding 2^31 hours
> 	o Add overflow checking to timestamp and interval arithmetic

Tom Lane 4a309defb4 Add info about using rsync to make base backups. Per report from
Jeff Frost, it may be necessary to ignore specific exit codes.

Tom Lane fc5894bf77 Adjust parser so that POSTQUEL-style implicit RTEs are stored with
inFromCl true, meaning that they will list out as explicit RTEs if they
are in a view or rule.  Update comments about inFromCl to reflect the way
it's now actually used.  Per recent discussion.

>
> 	  Consider using auto-expanded mode for backslash commands like \df+.

Tom Lane 602007842c Convert explanation of interval change into something resembling grammatical
English, and fix the incorrect example.

Bruce Momjian 404bc385d1 IBM has addressed the socket address storage issue as of AIX 5.3

Bruce Momjian 42b689aed4 More forcefully recommend MD5 over crypt authentication. 2005-10-24 15:49:54 +00:00
Andrew Dunstan 24fa8746ae Fix incorrect wording about function failure time on unsafe ops - these
are now caught by the validator. And a small visit from the perl style police:
check the return value from open().
2005-10-24 15:39:50 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 819159709f I have applied the following patch to document PQinitSSL() and
PQregisterThreadLock().

I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and
added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt().
Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it
seemed unwise.

I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().

Tom Lane 7d3ab8ac55 A bit of minor copy-editing. 2005-10-23 19:29:49 +00:00
Tom Lane 55337e40b3 I've confirmed 8.1beta4 passes regression tests on all hardware platforms
of RHEL 4.  Update supported-platforms list accordingly.

PostgreSQL Daemon 106388fbe8 update configure and bugtemplate for beta 4 ... 2005-10-22 22:46:33 +00:00
Tom Lane c3a7b0577b Add a note about GNU tar's propensity to complain if a file changes
while tar is copying it.  This behavior is unhelpful when taking a base
backup.  Per gripe from Pallav Kalva back in April.
2005-10-22 22:09:49 +00:00
Tom Lane f72a342fb7 Copy-editing for recent documentation changes relevant to WAL,
full_page_writes, etc.
2005-10-22 21:56:07 +00:00
Tom Lane 96b85f1ccb Fix documentation to specify the correct range of timezone offsets for
type time with time zone, ie, +/- 13:59 not +/- 12:00.  Also some minor
wording improvements.
2005-10-22 19:33:57 +00:00
Alvaro Herrera 63aa492466 Fix typo. 2005-10-22 14:44:35 +00:00
Tom Lane fdff883aca Clean up autovacuum documentation, which was a bit out of sync with what
the code actually does, and needed copy-editing anyway.  Also take the
opportunity to expand the section on routine reindexing.
2005-10-21 19:39:08 +00:00
Tom Lane f8529779ee Update obsolete URL, per Chris. 2005-10-21 13:59:05 +00:00
Neil Conway d6707cb66e Minor PL/PgSQL doc tweak: use current_timestamp rather than now() in
an example function.
2005-10-21 05:11:23 +00:00
Tom Lane 9bd7ed828e Clean up some obsolete statements about GiST indexes, and add a section
documenting GiST crash recovery procedures, as requested some time ago
by Teodor.  (The GiST chapter doesn't seem quite the right place for
the latter, but I'm not sure what else to do with it.)
2005-10-21 01:41:28 +00:00
Tom Lane d1959f9ff6 Improve testlibpq3.c's example of PQexecParams() usage to include sending
a parameter in binary format.  Also, add a TIP explaining how to use casts
in the query text to avoid needing to specify parameter types by OID.
Also fix bogus spacing --- apparently somebody expanded the tabs in the
example programs to 8 spaces instead of 4 when transposing them into SGML.
2005-10-20 23:57:52 +00:00
Neil Conway 61abd9a3fb Minor tweak to libpq documentation: make "PREPARE" and "DEALLOCATE" xrefs. 2005-10-20 21:04:14 +00:00
Tom Lane c9de6b922e Document the behavior of GRANT/REVOKE in cases where the privilege is
held by means of role membership, rather than directly.  Per discussion
and bug fix of a couple weeks ago.
2005-10-20 19:18:01 +00:00
Andrew Dunstan 48f3d77858 replace use of predefined perl vars $a and $b with $x and $y - per Greg Sabino Mullane 2005-10-18 22:53:54 +00:00
Tom Lane a33fadfd6d Add an entry to the discussion of regression test failures about the
possibility of a failure due to stack overflow when max_stack_depth is
not set properly for the platform.
2005-10-18 21:43:33 +00:00
Tom Lane 220f2a7d15 Code review for regexp_replace patch. Improve documentation and comments,
fix problems with replacement-string backslashes that aren't followed by
one of the expected characters, avoid giving the impression that
replace_text_regexp() is meant to be called directly as a SQL function,
etc.
2005-10-18 20:38:58 +00:00
Tom Lane d330f1554d Clean up libpq's pollution of application namespace by renaming the
exported routines of ip.c, md5.c, and fe-auth.c to begin with 'pg_'.
Also get rid of the vestigial fe_setauthsvc/fe_getauthsvc routines
altogether.
2005-10-17 16:24:20 +00:00
Tom Lane 8ffdcbf23b Add note that some versions of OS X require SHMMAX to be an exact multiple
of 4096.  Also add comment explaining why we don't suggest using
/etc/sysctl.conf to avoid needing to edit /etc/rc.
2005-10-16 21:22:12 +00:00
Neil Conway 2c19629f93 Remove a long comment from cvs.sgml -- AFAICS this is no longer useful,
or at any rate doesn't belong as a comment in a random SGML file.
2005-10-15 20:15:48 +00:00
Neil Conway fc8f4bac0e Fix assorted typos in the documentation, and use American spelling
rather than British. Patch from Michael Fuhr.

Tom Lane 6faa334bef Update 'supported platforms' list with current buildfarm results. 2005-10-15 17:59:38 +00:00
Bruce Momjian d62616e6ca Fix kerberos description: localhost -> server hostname. 2005-10-15 15:29:24 +00:00
Neil Conway 1d2e0e6d3e Merge some user-submitted suggestions for improvement into the
documentation. Mostly add some <xref>s, fix a few typos, and
document that zlib is required in the installation docs.
2005-10-15 01:47:12 +00:00
Alvaro Herrera 1b5cd6dcdc Fix typo. 2005-10-15 01:15:33 +00:00
Tom Lane abd3f43b4c Fix syslog bug: if any messages are emitted to write_syslog before
the facility has been set, the facility gets set to LOCAL0 and cannot
be changed later.  This seems reasonably plausible to happen, particularly
at higher debug log levels, though I am not certain it explains Han Holl's
recent report.  Easiest fix is to teach the code how to change the value
on-the-fly, which is nicer anyway.  I made the settings PGC_SIGHUP to
conform with log_destination.

Andrew Dunstan f620098dc8 fix nonsensical summary row on example 2005-10-14 20:48:18 +00:00
Bruce Momjian a93bf4503f Allow times of 24:00:00 to match rounding behavior:
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0);
	   time
	----------
	 24:00:00
	(1 row)

	This is bad because:

	regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0);
	ERROR:  date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00"

The last example now works.
