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.

Neil Conway e4d9b69779 Rename pg_complete_relation_size() to pg_total_relation_size(), for the
sake of brevity and clarity.

Make pg_reload_conf(), pg_rotate_logfile(), and pg_cancel_backend()
return a boolean rather than an integer to indicate success or failure.

Along the way, make some minor cleanups to dbsize.c -- in particular,
use elog() rather than ereport() for "shouldn't happen" error
conditions, and remove some of the more flagrant violations of the
Postgres indentation conventions.

Catalog version bumped.

Robert Treat.

Neil Conway 3b0453b24f Various documentation improvements. Add a lot of index entries for
the builtin functions (although some more entries are still needed),
and remove the duplicate index entries that have been causing
collateindex.pl warnings. Consistently use "int" and "bigint", rather
than a mix of "int", "integer", "int4", "bigint", and "int8". Make
parenthesis style in syntax examples more consistent. Various
copy-editing for newly-added documentation and SGML markup fixes.

consistent with the other sections in this chapter.
2005-09-12 22:39:30 +00:00
Neil Conway 9813fc1bae Make the documentation of GUC variables a separate chapter, rather than
a section of the "Server Run-time Environment" chapter. Also, move the
SGML for the new chapter to a separate file and fix the resulting
fallout.
2005-09-12 22:11:38 +00:00
Tom Lane 37a3ed6e40 Update manual's introduction to indexes to reflect 8.1 changes; in
particular the addition of bitmap scans and the relaxation of rules
about when multicolumn indexes can be used.  Also some minor editorial
work in other parts of the chapter.
