Peter Eisentraut c3641483c3 Merge functions and operators chapters. Lots of updates. 2000-12-14 22:30:56 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart 1131261270 Clarify the allowed length of the text data type. 2000-12-03 14:47:18 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 5a0152b3fd I think in datatype.sgml line 506 or so:
<entry>varchar(n)</entry>
        <entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>

should be
   <entry>varchar(n)</entry>
        <entry>(4+n) bytes</entry>

or
   <entry>varchar(x)</entry>
        <entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>

Regards

Laser Henry

Tom Lane a210023008 Adjust INET/CIDR display conventions and reimplement some INET/CIDR

enough people object.

Peter Eisentraut 457ac0331c Implement differentiation between CURRENT_USER and SESSION_USER as per SQL.
There is still no effective difference but it will kick in once setuid
functions exist (not included here).  Make old getpgusername() alias for
current_user.
