Andrew Dunstan 24fa8746ae Fix incorrect wording about function failure time on unsafe ops - these

check the return value from open().
2005-10-24 15:39:50 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 819159709f I have applied the following patch to document PQinitSSL() and
PQregisterThreadLock().

I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and
added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt().
Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it
seemed unwise.

I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().

Tom Lane 9bd7ed828e Clean up some obsolete statements about GiST indexes, and add a section
documenting GiST crash recovery procedures, as requested some time ago

the latter, but I'm not sure what else to do with it.)

Tom Lane d1959f9ff6 Improve testlibpq3.c's example of PQexecParams() usage to include sending
a parameter in binary format.  Also, add a TIP explaining how to use casts
in the query text to avoid needing to specify parameter types by OID.
Also fix bogus spacing --- apparently somebody expanded the tabs in the
example programs to 8 spaces instead of 4 when transposing them into SGML.

Tom Lane d330f1554d Clean up libpq's pollution of application namespace by renaming the
exported routines of ip.c, md5.c, and fe-auth.c to begin with 'pg_'.
Also get rid of the vestigial fe_setauthsvc/fe_getauthsvc routines
altogether.

Tom Lane 8ffdcbf23b Add note that some versions of OS X require SHMMAX to be an exact multiple

Tom Lane abd3f43b4c Fix syslog bug: if any messages are emitted to write_syslog before
the facility has been set, the facility gets set to LOCAL0 and cannot
be changed later.  This seems reasonably plausible to happen, particularly
at higher debug log levels, though I am not certain it explains Han Holl's
recent report.  Easiest fix is to teach the code how to change the value
on-the-fly, which is nicer anyway.  I made the settings PGC_SIGHUP to
conform with log_destination.

Bruce Momjian a93bf4503f Allow times of 24:00:00 to match rounding behavior:
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0);
	   time
	----------
	 24:00:00
	(1 row)

	This is bad because:

	regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0);
	ERROR:  date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00"

The last example now works.

Per discussion.
2005-10-13 21:09:38 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 8ac386226d The patch updates the documentation to reflect the fact that higher values
of client_min_messages (fatal + panic) are valid and also fixes a slight
issue with how psql tried to display error messages that aren't sent to
the client.

We often tell people to ignore errors in response to requests for things
like "drop if exists", but there's no good way to completely hide this
without upping client_min_messages past ERROR.  When running a file like

SET client_min_messages TO 'FATAL';

DROP TABLE doesntexist;

with "psql -f filename" you get an error prefix of
"psql:/home/username/filename:3" even though there is no error message to
prefix because it isn't sent to the client.

Tom Lane 96a83d8807 Release notes up to date as of today. 2005-10-11 21:17:11 +00:00
Tom Lane c6b9924bec Remove the DELETEs from pg_shadow and pg_group that pg_dumpall used to
emit when given the --clean option, in favor of individual DROP ROLE
commands.  The old technique could not possibly work in 8.1, and was
never a very good idea anyway IMHO.  The DROP ROLE approach has the
defect that the DROPs will fail for roles that own objects or have
privileges, but perhaps we can improve that later.

Tom Lane cb8b6618ce Revise pgstats stuff to fix the problems with not counting accesses

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.

Tom Lane 1128f55659 Fix postgresql.conf lexer to accept doubled single quotes in literal
strings.  This is consistent with SQL conventions, and since Bruce
already changed initdb in a way that assumed it worked like this, seems
we'd better make it work like this.
