Tom Lane 6c7c493a09 For some reason, the preface mentions just six of the seven major parts
of the book.  Fix it.

Tom Lane 0a4048646b Document all the system views created by initdb (several of these were
never documented anywhere, sigh).  Centralize the detailed documentation
of system views into catalogs.sgml, and provide cross-references.

Tom Lane fe1b5034dd Adjust display of actual runtimes in EXPLAIN output to use three fractional
digits, and label it 'ms' not 'msec', for consistency with psql's \timing
display.  Per recent discussions.

Manfred Spraul.

Bruce Momjian 62fdc3dd60 I have run pg_autovacuum on AIX, so that can, at least loosely, be
considered "tested."

And I have turned all of the 7.4 HISTORY material into DocBook for
release.sgml

Attached is a doc patch that does this. The way I've worded it may not
be the best, though.

Bruce Momjian 3fce18084b About section 8.5.1.5. ("Special Values"):
I suggest adding LOCALTIMESTAMP and LOCALTIME to the first paragraph.
Maybe it should be phrased as:

  The following SQL-compatible functions can be used to obtain
  current datetime-related values: CURRENT_DATE, CURRENT_TIME,
  CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, LOCALTIME and LOCALTIMESTAMP.
  (See Section 9.8.4.)

Bruce Momjian b8382c2688 Have log_min_duration_statement = 0 always print duration/statement.
Change log line to be "duration:  ms  query:"

Indent multi-line queries with a tab in the server logs.

Tom Lane 0eceaaf9b7 Modify COPY FROM to match the null-value string against the column value
before it is de-backslashed, not after.  This allows the null string \N
to be reliably distinguished from the data value \N (which must be
represented as \\N).  Per bug report from Manfred Koizar ... but it's
amazing this hasn't been reported before ...
Also, be consistent about encoding conversion for null string: the form
specified in the command is in the server encoding, but what is sent
to/from client must be in client encoding.  This never worked quite
right before either.

Tom Lane fa09ee6026 Document the always-true-but-previously-undocumented fact that PQfnumber()
will downcase the supplied field name unless it is double-quoted.  Also,
upgrade the routine's handling of double quotes to match the backend,
in particular support doubled double quotes within quoted identifiers.
Per pgsql-interfaces discussion a couple weeks ago.

Tom Lane 15c194c1d5 Add GUC parameter check_function_bodies to control whether validation
of function bodies is done at CREATE FUNCTION time.  This is normally
true but can be set false to avoid problems with forward references,
wrong schema search path, etc.  This is just the backend patch, still
need to adjust pg_dump to make use of it.

Tom Lane 251033186f Cause PQescapeString to stop processing at a null character, rather
than generating an invalid output string.  Per observation and patch
from Igor Shevchenko.  Further code cleanup and documentation by
Tom Lane.

Tom Lane 6099bc03f3 Adjust documentation examples to match recent error message rewordings.
A couple other minor fixes.

Tom Lane f038e08929 Use slightly less broken markup. 2003-09-30 01:26:29 +00:00
Tom Lane e33f205a94 Adjust btree index build procedure so that the btree metapage looks
invalid (has the wrong magic number) until the build is entirely
complete.  This turns out to cost no additional writes in the normal
case, since we were rewriting the metapage at the end of the process
anyway.  In normal scenarios there's no real gain in security, because
a failed index build would roll back the transaction leaving an unused
index file, but for rebuilding shared system indexes this seems to add
some useful protection.
