4b21d1f09b Remove obsolete examples of add-on parsers and dictionary templates;
these are more easily and usefully maintained as contrib modules.
Various other wordsmithing, markup improvement, etc.

18e3fcc31e Migrate the former contrib/txid module into core. This will make it easier
for Slony and Skytools to depend on it.  Per discussion.

2a997a7065 A few improvements to analyze and vacuum sections in documentation: add "see
also" entries for autovacuum in analyze and vacuum reference pages, and
enhance usage of cross-references in the maintenance page.

2816b2cdd2 Clean up the doc makefile for draft HTML generation. It no longer works
to do "make DRAFT=Y html"; you need to use "make draft" (which was also
supported previously).

77b0f459c8 First pass at SGML-ifying the 8.3 release notes. Plenty of improvements
left to made, but this is a start.
2007-10-04 03:53:58 +00:00
Tom Lane
0a04109d60 Second pass at 8.3 release notes: put items in a bit more logical order
where possible, add overview and incompatibilities lists, minor cleanups.
The SGML-ification still leaves much to be desired.

6d673a63ed First cut at 8.3 release notes. SGML markup is nonexistent, and
the 'overview' and 'incompatibilities' summary lists remain to be
written.  But I think all the raw info is there (indeed maybe too
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.

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.

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.

77c166ba6c Add virtual transaction IDs to CSVLOG output, so that messages coming from
the same transaction can be identified even when no regular XID was assigned.
This seems essential after addition of the lazy-XID patch.  Also some
minor code cleanup in write_csvlog().

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
