Tom Lane 24614a9880 Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, and
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor
of doing a regular DROP.  Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely
correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column.  This fixes
problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by
Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an
OID column that was inherited from a parent.

Tom Lane 2e45c143ef Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified
listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion.  The default behavior
is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i
postmaster switch in many scenarios.

Tom Lane 3b7ca96c2c Clean up rather poor description of the difference between INHERITS and
LIKE.  Per gripe from Patrick Samson.

Bruce Momjian 3ceda5eab3 I just noticed that \dp outputs "Table" to indicate relations (tables,
sequences and views).  This patch allows it to handle views and
sequences.

Neil Conway fe9c4420e4 Improve documentation for the newly-added NOWAIT clause of LOCK TABLE. 2004-03-12 00:52:23 +00:00
Neil Conway bfd6f52b0e Allow 'Infinity' and '-Infinity' as input to the float4 and float8
types. Update the regression tests and the documentation to reflect
this. Remove the UNSAFE_FLOATS #ifdef.

This is only half the story: we still unconditionally reject
floating point operations that result in +/- infinity. See
recent thread on -hackers for more information.
