Here's a patch adding documentation for the PQescapeBytea function to
...
libpq.sgml
I was trying (but gave up) to cross-reference back to the input escape
table in the User's Guide, but could not get the documentation to
compile with a cross-book xref (missing IDREF error). Can a cross-book
xref be done?

I've created a new section to func.sgml, "Binary String Functions and
...
Operators", plagiarized shamelessly from the "String Functions and
Operators" section. There were enough differences that it made sense (at
least to me) to give this its own section instead of cramming it in with
normal string functions. This way I could also make the examples
relevant, which is particularly important for bytea.
One thing I think worth mentioning: while documenting the trim()
function I realized that I never implemented the bytea equivalent of
rtrim and ltrim. Therefore, the 'leading' and 'trailing' forms of trim,
available with text, are not available with bytea (I'd be happy to
correct this, but since it would require an initdb, I guess not until
7.3) -- the submitted doc accurately reflects this.
I will look for other areas of the docs that need mention of bytea, but
any guidance would be much appreciated.
--
Here's a second bytea documentation patch. This one significantly
expands the "Binary Data" section added by Bruce recently.

Tweak parser so that there is a defined representation for datatypes
...
bpchar, bit, numeric with typmod -1. Alter format_type so that this
representation is printed when the typmod is -1. This ensures that
tables having such columns can be pg_dump'd and reloaded correctly.
Also, remove the rather useless and non-SQL-compliant default
precision and scale for type NUMERIC. A numeric column declared as
such (with no precision/scale) will now have typmod -1 which means
that numeric values of any precision/scale can be stored in it,
without conversion to a uniform scale. This seems significantly
more useful than the former behavior. Part of response to bug #513 .

Attached patch for unconditional enabling of pltcl-unknown support.
...
Enabling this feature adds very light overhead of 1 select from pg_class on
first using of pl/tcl in backend if unknown suppport is really unused.
But pl/tcl with this support has very improved functionality.
Patch includes changes to documentation.

rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type

will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp'
does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.

Hack for Jade vs TeX interpretation of "--"

Tom Lane
03b0a589d1
Consider interpreting a function call as a trivial (binary-compatible)
...
type coercion after failing to find an exact match in pg_proc, but before
considering interpretations that involve a function call with one or
more argument type coercions. This avoids surprises wherein what looks
like a type coercion is interpreted as coercing to some third type and
then to the destination type, as in Dave Blasby's bug report of 3-Oct-01.
See subsequent discussion in pghackers.

upper limit on what we will believe from sysconf(_SC_OPEN_MAX). The
default value is 1000, so that under ordinary conditions it won't

more than it can deliver, this can be used to prevent running out of
file descriptors. See numerous past discussions, eg, pgsql-hackers

Use the manifest file that the stylesheets generate as the file list
for packaging. Put graphics in the right place while building, not
while packaging, so you can actually look at them after building.

Should doc patches alse be sent to pgsql-patches, or do I

see any patches in spot checking the archive for pgsql-docs.

Make the world somewhat safe for (not from) DELETE FROM pg_shadow;
...
Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb.
A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1.
(Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.)
In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser
status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined.
Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no
users are defined.
Disallow dropping the current user and session user.
Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd.
(Previously, it would never grant it back. This could lead to "deadlocks".)
CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100
(unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a
superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

I've attached the fixed version of the patch below. After the
...
discussion on pgsql-hackers (especially the frightening memory dump in
<12273.999562219@sss.pgh.pa.us>), we decided that it is best not to
use identifiers from an untrusted source at all. Therefore, all
claims of the suitability of PQescapeString() for identifiers have
been removed.

Here is my much-promised patch to let people add UNIQUE constraints after
...
table creation time. Big deal you say - but this patch is the basis of the
next thing which is adding PRIMARY KEYs after table creation time. (Which
is currently impossible without twiddling catalogs)
Rundown
-------
* I have made the makeObjectName function of analyze.c non-static, and
exported it in analyze.h
* I have included analyze.h and defrem.h into command.c, to support
makingObjectNames and creating indices
* I removed the 'case CONSTR_PRIMARY' clause so that it properly fails and
says you can't add primary keys, rather than just doing nothing and
reporting nothing!!!
* I have modified the docs.
Algorithm
---------
* If name specified is null, search for a new valid constraint name. I'm
not sure if I should "lock" my generated name somehow tho - should I open
the relation before doing this step?
* Open relation in access exclusive mode
* Check that the constraint does not already exist
* Define the new index
* Warn if they're doubling up on an existing index

Revert treatment of NOTIFY in rules to its pre-7.1 behavior: notify will

occur unconditionally, even if the rule should otherwise execute
conditionally. This is more useful than giving an error, even though it's
not truly the correct behavior. Per today's pghackers discussion.
