d015d08b43 Rename default text search parser's "uri" token type to "url_path", 
per recommendation from Alvaro.  This doesn't force initdb since the
numeric token type in the catalogs doesn't change; but note that
the expected regression test output changed.

9ddfe034c7 Fix ALTER SEQUENCE so that it does not affect the value of currval() for 
the sequence.  Also, make setval() with is_called = false not affect the
currval state, either.  Per report from Kris Jurka that an implicit
ALTER SEQUENCE OWNED BY unexpectedly caused currval() to become valid.
Since this isn't 100% backwards compatible, it will go into HEAD only;
I'll put a more limited patch into 8.2.

048efc25e4 Disallow scrolling of FOR UPDATE/FOR SHARE cursors, so as to avoid problems 
in corner cases such as re-fetching a just-deleted row.  We may be able to
relax this someday, but let's find out how many people really care before
we invest a lot of work in it.  Per report from Heikki and subsequent
discussion.

While in the neighborhood, make the combination of INSENSITIVE and FOR UPDATE
throw an error, since they are semantically incompatible.  (Up to now we've
accepted but just ignored the INSENSITIVE option of DECLARE CURSOR.)

592c88a0d2 Remove the aggregate form of ts_rewrite(), since it doesn't work as desired 
if there are zero rows to aggregate over, and the API seems both conceptually
and notationally ugly anyway.  We should look for something that improves
on the tsquery-and-text-SELECT version (which is also pretty ugly but at
least it works...), but it seems that will take query infrastructure that
doesn't exist today.  (Hm, I wonder if there's anything in or near SQL2003
window functions that would help?)  Per discussion.
 2007-10-24 02:24:49 +00:00

dbaec70c15 Rename and slightly redefine the default text search parser's "word" 
categories, as per discussion.  asciiword (formerly lword) is still
ASCII-letters-only, and numword (formerly word) is still the most general
mixed-alpha-and-digits case.  But word (formerly nlword) is now
any-group-of-letters-with-at-least-one-non-ASCII, rather than all-non-ASCII as
before.  This is no worse than before for parsing mixed Russian/English text,
which seems to have been the design center for the original coding; and it
should simplify matters for parsing most European languages.  In particular
it will not be necessary for any language to accept strings containing digits
as being regular "words".  The hyphenated-word categories are adjusted
similarly.

3e17ef1cfa Adjust ts_debug's output as per my proposal of yesterday: show the 
active dictionary and its output lexemes as separate columns, instead
of smashing them into one text column, and lowercase the column names.
Also, define the output rowtype using OUT parameters instead of a
composite type, to be consistent with the other built-in functions.

6efae5bf2a Another round of editorialization on the text search documentation. 
Notably, standardize on using "token" for the strings output by a parser,
while "lexeme" is reserved for the normalized strings produced by a
dictionary.

6d673a63ed First cut at 8.3 release notes. SGML markup is nonexistent, and 
the 'overview' and 'incompatibilities' summary lists remain to be

verbose).

27b8922221 Add an extra header byte to TOAST-pointer datums to represent their size 
explicitly.  This means a TOAST pointer takes 18 bytes instead of 17 --- still
smaller than in 8.2 --- which seems a good tradeoff to ensure we won't have
painted ourselves into a corner if we want to support multiple types of TOAST
pointer later on.  Per discussion with Greg Stark.
 2007-09-30 19:54:58 +00:00

b46bd55a6c Make archive recovery always start a new timeline, rather than only when a 
recovery stop time was used.  This avoids a corner-case risk of trying to
overwrite an existing archived copy of the last WAL segment, and seems
simpler and cleaner all around than the original definition.  Per example
from Jon Colverson and subsequent analysis by Simon.
 2007-09-29 01:36:10 +00:00
Tom Lane
70b9b9b788 Change initdb and CREATE DATABASE to actively reject attempts to create 
databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE
locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms,
I believe).  C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course,
so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option,
but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints
caused by mismatched settings.

I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into
a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.

f18dfc4835 Minor improvements in backup and recovery: 
- create a separate archive_mode GUC, on which archive_command is dependent

- %r option in recovery.conf sends last restartpoint to recovery command

- %r used in pg_standby, updated README

- minor other code cleanup in pg_standby

- doc on Warm Standby now mentions pg_standby and %r

- log_restartpoints recovery option emits LOG message at each restartpoint

- end of recovery now displays last transaction end time, as requested
  by Warren Little; also shown at each restartpoint

- restart archiver if needed to carry away WAL files at shutdown
