Tom Lane 9ba4065312 Remove separate strdup.h header file; it's redundant with port.h. 2006-09-27 15:41:24 +00:00
Neil Conway de6ca63d7f GiST stands for "Generalized Search Tree", and therefore should not be 
spelled with a capital "I".

Bruce Momjian 1d5a13b154 Update wording of inheritance major release item. 2006-09-26 12:31:48 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 8580985c2b Split out inheritance major feature item in release notes. 2006-09-26 11:45:33 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 03a68a7cae Done: 
< 	  o Add command to archive partially filled write-ahead logs? [pitr]
<
< 	    Currently only full WAL files are archived. This means that the
< 	    most recent transactions aren't available for recovery in case
< 	    of a disk failure.
<

Reorder:

< 	  o %Create dump tool for write-ahead logs for use in determining
< 	    transaction id for point-in-time recovery
> 	  o %Create dump tool for write-ahead logs for use in determining

Tom Lane 0f8fc35a5a Increase default value of effective_cache_size to 128MB, per discussion. 2006-09-25 22:12:24 +00:00
Tom Lane ffae5cc5a6 Add a check to prevent overwriting valid data if smgrnblocks() gives a 
wrong answer, as has been seen to occur with a buggy Linux kernel.  Not
really our bug, but it's a simple test in a seldom-used control path,
so might as well have a defense.

make fopen work safely on Windows.  Magnus
 2006-09-24 17:19:53 +00:00
Tom Lane f375d5d6f9 Cause pg_regress to invoke the temporary postmaster as 'postgres' not 
'postmaster', so as not to depend on the existence of the postmaster
symlink.  Also, implement postmaster-still-alive and postmaster-kill
operations for Windows, per Magnus.

Tom Lane d40d34863e Fix pg_locks view to call advisory locks advisory locks, while preserving 
backward compatibility for anyone using the old userlock code that's now
on pgfoundry --- locks from that code still show as 'userlock'.
 2006-09-22 23:20:14 +00:00
Tom Lane beca984e5f Fix bugs in plpgsql and ecpg caused by assuming that isspace() would only 
return true for exactly the characters treated as whitespace by their flex
scanners.  Per report from Victor Snezhko and subsequent investigation.

Also fix a passel of unsafe usages of <ctype.h> functions, that is, ye olde
char-vs-unsigned-char issue.  I won't miss <ctype.h> when we are finally
able to stop using it.

Tom Lane 6d0efd3a09 Surely this temp buffer needn't be static. 2006-09-22 19:51:14 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut cbb7acface Rearrange yes/no prompting code so that the prompts always show the 
(possibly (un)translated) letters that are actually expected as input.
Also reject invalid responses instead of silenty taken them as "no".

Bruce Momjian ae3f415f1d Add to major release notes items, per Simon. 2006-09-22 18:09:40 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 90c07a71ca Add units to the default postgresql.conf. For the most part, this should 
match what SHOW displays as default value, to make the user experience
uniform.

Tom Lane ceefbbf718 Move incorrectly-located indexterm entry. 2006-09-22 16:35:55 +00:00
Tom Lane e893e87530 Update timezone documentation to reflect current reality: instead of 
giving tables of known timezone names, refer the user to the system views.

Bruce Momjian 9adb2c49dd Update release notes to only use HTML4 entities. 
Add URL's to mention proper entity lists.
 2006-09-22 15:41:12 +00:00
Tom Lane 29e53ca389 We're going to have to spell dotless i as plain i, because dotless i is 
not in the character set supported by DocBook nor standard HTML.  (Sorry
Volkan.)  Also replace random character-set references by a pointer to
the actual standard.

Bruce Momjian bf31a62a6b First try at a major features list for 8.2. 2006-09-22 01:39:33 +00:00
Tom Lane 9e936693a9 Fix free space map to correctly track the total amount of FSM space needed 
even when a single relation requires more than max_fsm_pages pages.  Also,
make VACUUM emit a warning in this case, since it likely means that VACUUM
FULL or other drastic corrective measure is needed.  Per reports from Jeff
Frost and others of unexpected changes in the claimed max_fsm_pages need.

Tom Lane c59487cfb3 Fix bogus markup. 2006-09-20 21:30:20 +00:00
Bruce Momjian f2aad31424 Add AIX shared library support item to release notes. 2006-09-20 19:55:42 +00:00
Tom Lane bfd1ffa948 Change patternsel (LIKE/regex selectivity estimation) so that if there 
is a large enough histogram, it will use the number of matches in the
histogram to derive a selectivity estimate, rather than the admittedly
pretty bogus heuristics involving examining the pattern contents.  I set
'large enough' at 100, but perhaps we should change that later.  Also
apply the same technique in contrib/ltree's <@ and @> estimator.  Per
discussion with Stefan Kaltenbrunner and Matteo Beccati.

Neil Conway c62172100b Improvements to the partitioning documentation. Original patch from Greg 
Stark, additional fixes and editorialization by Neil Conway. Greg's patch
description:

    Some more doc patches for partitioned tables. In particular replace
    the caveat that INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS doesn't exist and replace it
    with documentation of, well, INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS.

    Also, there was an instance of "LIKE WITH DEFAULTS" which is
    actually spelled "LIKE INCLUDING DEFAULTS".
 2006-09-20 01:20:38 +00:00
Tom Lane b74c543685 Improve usage of effective_cache_size parameter by assuming that all the 
tables in the query compete for cache space, not just the one we are
currently costing an indexscan for.  This seems more realistic, and it
definitely will help in examples recently exhibited by Stefan
Kaltenbrunner.  To get the total size of all the tables involved, we must
tweak the handling of 'append relations' a bit --- formerly we looked up
information about the child tables on-the-fly during set_append_rel_pathlist,
but it needs to be done before we start doing any cost estimation, so
push it into the add_base_rels_to_query scan.
 2006-09-19 22:49:53 +00:00
Neil Conway 45e11d098f Do a round of copy-editing for the release notes: fix some typos and 
grammatical errors, improve the description of some new features.
