Tom Lane 08fa6a6851 Editorial improvements for GIN documentation. 2006-12-01 23:46:46 +00:00
Tom Lane 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
Tom Lane 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...

Tom Lane b02414bb82 Editorial improvements to backup and warm-standby documentation. 2006-12-01 03:29:15 +00:00
Tom Lane f378ccc261 Minor wording improvements. 2006-12-01 03:19:48 +00:00
Tom Lane 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.

Bruce Momjian f14d43d2d3 Document that to_char() "TM" is controlled by lc_messages. 2006-11-25 00:38:53 +00:00
Tom Lane a7a3d0f0d9 Update release notes for RC1. 2006-11-24 23:31:55 +00:00
Tom Lane 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.

Bruce Momjian cc6c10a7a0 Add capitalization mention. 2006-11-21 15:38:09 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 150328cd61 I noticed that the Partitioning section of the docs has *two* sections 
of caveats in different places, but close together. One called caveats,
one not. That looks like it just led to somebody not reading some
appropriate caveats in the second group of caveats (on -admin).

Bruce Momjian f88fff1e61 Our MingW FAQ appears to be seriously out of date. Couple of fixes: we 
want to direct MSI downloads to main download site, NT4 not supported
anymore, msvc build env in progress, pgsql-hackers-win32 is no more.
