Bruce Momjian 62feef6c95 Fix SGML typo in previous patch. 2002-02-17 13:29:00 +00:00
Bruce Momjian bf4507e3af I think it's important that it's actually documented that they can add
primary keys after the fact!

Also, we need to add regression tests for alter table / add primary key
and alter table / drop constraint.  These shouldn't be added until 7.3
tho
methinks...

Tom Lane 9832a235c5 Modify COPY TO to emit carriage returns and newlines as backslash escapes
(backslash-r, backslash-n) for protection against newline-conversion
munging.  In future we will also tweak COPY FROM, but this part of the
change should be backwards-compatible.  Per pghackers discussion.
Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
more completely and accurately.
