Here's a patch against *CVS tip* to address Peter's comments. Please let
me know what you think!

Bruce Momjian 004293317f 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?

Bruce Momjian 01e0dae689 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.

Tom Lane a585c20d12 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.

Tatsuo Ishii f426465ba9 Add a new function "pg_client_encoding" which returns the current client
side encoding name. This is necessary for client API's such as JDBC
to perform correct encoding conversions. See my email "[HACKERS]
pg_client_encoding" 10 Sep 2001.

Tom Lane f9e6e27c87 Break transformCreateStmt() into multiple routines and make
transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of
duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code.
Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now,
and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses
actually fire now.  ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo
having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.

REPLACE FUNCTION.

Tom Lane 2034086ed1 Correct some errors in plpgsql examples, as reported by Junichi Kobayasi. 2001-10-09 04:55:11 +00:00
Tom Lane 0b3bca6c6f Change plpgsql to depend on main parser's type-declaration grammar,
rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type
declaration looks like.  This is necessary now to ensure that plpgsql
will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp'
does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.

Peter Eisentraut 255bd588a7 Hack for Jade vs TeX interpretation of "--" 2001-10-04 22:25:48 +00:00
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.

Tom Lane 2e5fda7b7e DROP AGGREGATE and COMMENT ON AGGREGATE now accept the expected syntax
'aggname (aggtype)'.  The old syntax 'aggname aggtype' is still accepted
for backwards compatibility.  Fix pg_dump, which was actually broken for
most cases of user-defined aggregates.  Clean up error messages associated
with these commands.

definition without changing the function's OID, thereby not breaking
