Neil Conway 663476919c Minor tweaks for PL/PgSQL documentation. 2005-10-06 20:51:20 +00:00
Tom Lane cb8b6618ce Revise pgstats stuff to fix the problems with not counting accesses
generated by bitmap index scans.  Along the way, simplify and speed up
the code for counting sequential and index scans; it was both confusing
and inefficient to be taking care of that in the per-tuple loops, IMHO.
initdb forced because of internal changes in pg_stat view definitions.

Tom Lane 060d13f7c7 COPY's test for read-only transaction was backward; it prohibited COPY TO
where it should prohibit COPY FROM.  Found by Alon Goldshuv.

2005-10-03 00:42:28 +00:00
Tom Lane aa731ed843 Change nextval and other sequence functions to specify their sequence
argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string.  The frontend
conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an
implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass.  This provides
backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument
is explicitly typed as 'text'.  When the argument is just an unadorned
literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the
stored representation will be an OID.  This solves longstanding problems
with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as
well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or
moving them to another schema.  All per recent discussion.
Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support
for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).

Tom Lane 4fc935a5d4 Fix problems with PGXS builds against an installation tree that was
relocated after installation.  We can't trust the installation paths
inserted into Makefile.global by configure, so instead we must get the
paths from pg_config.  This requires extending pg_config to support all
the separately-configurable path names, but that was on TODO anyway.
