Tom Lane 92c001bbaf Minor copy-editing in tutorial. 2004-12-17 04:50:32 +00:00
Neil Conway 480777e56c Allow 'ELSEIF' as an alternative to 'ELSIF' in PL/PgSQL. There have been
several reports of users being confused when they attempt to use ELSEIF
and run into trouble due to PL/PgSQL's lax parser. The parser will be
improved for 8.1, but we can fix most of the problem by allowing ELSEIF
for now.

Tom Lane e9c03c3b1b Disallow the combination VACUUM FULL FREEZE for safety's sake, for the
reasons I outlined in pghackers a few days ago.

Also, undo someone's overly optimistic decision to reduce tuple state
checks from if (...) elog() to Asserts.  If I trusted this code more,
I might think it was a good idea to disable these checks in production
installations.  But I don't.

Bruce Momjian 8408f65252 Rework libpq threaded SIGPIPE handling to avoid interference with
calling applications.  This is done by blocking sigpipe in the libpq
thread and using sigpending/sigwait to possibily discard any sigpipe we
generated.

Neil Conway 64b5789497 This is a little patch to correct the documentation on CVS. The URL for
downloading CVS at cyclic.com site is long defunct, and I changed the text
to not overtly recommend CVS 1.10, a now fairly old version.
