Bruce Momjian 6945ea3445 Move pg_controldata to /bin. 2002-08-17 02:43:08 +00:00
Tom Lane a208ea72bc Modify pg_dump to dump foreign-key constraints as constraints, not as
sets of triggers.  Also modify psql \d command to show foreign key
constraints as such and hide the triggers.  pg_get_constraintdef()
function added to backend to support these.  From Rod Taylor, code
review and some editorialization by Tom Lane.

Bruce Momjian b4794bfb54 This patch improves the "Database Users and Permissions" section of
the Administrator's Guide. This section needs a lot more work, but
this is a start anyway...

Thanks.

Attached is a patch against cvs tip as of 8:30 PM PST or so. Turned out
that even after fixing the failed hunks, there was a new spot in
bufmgr.c which needed to be fixed (related to temp relations;
RelationUpdateNumberOfBlocks). But thankfully the regression test code
caught it :-)

Bruce Momjian 1276356268 PostgreSQL 7.2.1 Documentation
Chapter 1. libpq - C Library
1.3. Command Execution Functions
1.3.3. Escaping binary strings for inclusion in SQL queries

I found the line
"The result string length does not include the terminating zero byte of the result."
is not right.
The result string length does indeed include the terminating zero byte.

Okay, I've attached an updated patch with more information on
SQL_INHERITANCE and inheritance behavior in prior releases.

Bruce Momjian 7f4981f4af I'm giving a try at some TODO items. Currently it's the turn of the
PGPASSWORDFILE environment variable.  I have modified libpq to make use
of this variable.  I present the first cut here.

Currently the format for the file should be

host:port:database:user:password

Bruce Momjian dec918479f I guess I'd vote for changing the code to be
sys = malloc(strlen(editorName) + strlen(fname) + 10 + 1);
        if (!sys)
                return false;
        sprintf(sys, "exec '%s' '%s'", editorName, fname);

(note the added quotes to provide a little protection against spaces
and such).  Then it's perfectly obvious what the calculation is doing.
I don't care about wasting 20-some bytes, but confusing readers of the
code is worth avoiding.

Tom Lane 77a7e9968b Change memory-space accounting mechanism in tuplesort.c and tuplestore.c
to make a reasonable attempt at accounting for palloc overhead, not just
the requested size of each memory chunk.  Since in many scenarios this
will make for a significant reduction in the amount of space acquired,
partially compensate by doubling the default value of SORT_MEM to 1Mb.

Bruce Momjian 7dc40a2be0 Major improvement in CLUSTER which preserves table characteristics using
relfilenode.

I sent the CLUSTER patch a few days ago and I think it was missed.  I
append it again, this time including the regression test files.  For the
committer, please note that you have to cvs add the files as they don't
exist.  Maybe add to the parallel and serial schedules also, but I don't
know such stuff.

Tom Lane 4ab8e69094 has_table_privilege spawns scions has_database_privilege, has_function_privilege,
has_language_privilege, has_schema_privilege to let SQL queries test
all the new privilege types in 7.3.  Also, add functions pg_table_is_visible,
pg_type_is_visible, pg_function_is_visible, pg_operator_is_visible,
pg_opclass_is_visible to test whether objects contained in schemas are
visible in the current search path.  Do some minor cleanup to centralize
accesses to pg_database, as well.
