Tom Lane 96b85f1ccb Fix documentation to specify the correct range of timezone offsets for
type time with time zone, ie, +/- 13:59 not +/- 12:00.  Also some minor
wording improvements.

Alvaro Herrera 63aa492466 Fix typo. 2005-10-22 14:44:35 +00:00
Tom Lane fdff883aca Clean up autovacuum documentation, which was a bit out of sync with what
the code actually does, and needed copy-editing anyway.  Also take the
opportunity to expand the section on routine reindexing.

Tom Lane f8529779ee Update obsolete URL, per Chris. 2005-10-21 13:59:05 +00:00
Neil Conway d6707cb66e Minor PL/PgSQL doc tweak: use current_timestamp rather than now() in
an example function.

Tom Lane 9bd7ed828e Clean up some obsolete statements about GiST indexes, and add a section
documenting GiST crash recovery procedures, as requested some time ago
by Teodor.  (The GiST chapter doesn't seem quite the right place for
the latter, but I'm not sure what else to do with it.)

Tom Lane d1959f9ff6 Improve testlibpq3.c's example of PQexecParams() usage to include sending
a parameter in binary format.  Also, add a TIP explaining how to use casts
in the query text to avoid needing to specify parameter types by OID.
Also fix bogus spacing --- apparently somebody expanded the tabs in the
example programs to 8 spaces instead of 4 when transposing them into SGML.

Neil Conway 61abd9a3fb Minor tweak to libpq documentation: make "PREPARE" and "DEALLOCATE" xrefs. 2005-10-20 21:04:14 +00:00
Tom Lane c9de6b922e Document the behavior of GRANT/REVOKE in cases where the privilege is
held by means of role membership, rather than directly.  Per discussion
and bug fix of a couple weeks ago.

Andrew Dunstan 48f3d77858 replace use of predefined perl vars $a and $b with $x and $y - per Greg Sabino Mullane 2005-10-18 22:53:54 +00:00
Tom Lane a33fadfd6d Add an entry to the discussion of regression test failures about the
possibility of a failure due to stack overflow when max_stack_depth is
not set properly for the platform.

Tom Lane 220f2a7d15 Code review for regexp_replace patch. Improve documentation and comments,
fix problems with replacement-string backslashes that aren't followed by
one of the expected characters, avoid giving the impression that
replace_text_regexp() is meant to be called directly as a SQL function,
etc.

Tom Lane d330f1554d Clean up libpq's pollution of application namespace by renaming the
exported routines of ip.c, md5.c, and fe-auth.c to begin with 'pg_'.
Also get rid of the vestigial fe_setauthsvc/fe_getauthsvc routines
altogether.

Tom Lane 8ffdcbf23b Add note that some versions of OS X require SHMMAX to be an exact multiple
of 4096.  Also add comment explaining why we don't suggest using
/etc/sysctl.conf to avoid needing to edit /etc/rc.

Neil Conway 2c19629f93 Remove a long comment from cvs.sgml -- AFAICS this is no longer useful,
or at any rate doesn't belong as a comment in a random SGML file.

Neil Conway fc8f4bac0e Fix assorted typos in the documentation, and use American spelling
rather than British. Patch from Michael Fuhr.

Neil Conway 1d2e0e6d3e Merge some user-submitted suggestions for improvement into the
documentation. Mostly add some <xref>s, fix a few typos, and
document that zlib is required in the installation docs.

Alvaro Herrera 1b5cd6dcdc Fix typo. 2005-10-15 01:15:33 +00:00
Tom Lane abd3f43b4c Fix syslog bug: if any messages are emitted to write_syslog before
the facility has been set, the facility gets set to LOCAL0 and cannot
be changed later.  This seems reasonably plausible to happen, particularly
at higher debug log levels, though I am not certain it explains Han Holl's
recent report.  Easiest fix is to teach the code how to change the value
on-the-fly, which is nicer anyway.  I made the settings PGC_SIGHUP to
conform with log_destination.

Andrew Dunstan f620098dc8 fix nonsensical summary row on example 2005-10-14 20:48:18 +00:00
Bruce Momjian a93bf4503f Allow times of 24:00:00 to match rounding behavior:
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0);
	   time
	----------
	 24:00:00
	(1 row)

	This is bad because:

	regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0);
	ERROR:  date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00"

The last example now works.

for the PL languages and for contrib.

Tom Lane 6f9cb4eb43 Adjust the discussion of triggers to more clearly guide people in the
direction of writing triggers in a procedural language, rather than C.
Per discussion.

Bruce Momjian 8ac386226d The patch updates the documentation to reflect the fact that higher values
of client_min_messages (fatal + panic) are valid and also fixes a slight
issue with how psql tried to display error messages that aren't sent to
the client.

We often tell people to ignore errors in response to requests for things
like "drop if exists", but there's no good way to completely hide this
without upping client_min_messages past ERROR.  When running a file like

SET client_min_messages TO 'FATAL';

DROP TABLE doesntexist;

with "psql -f filename" you get an error prefix of
"psql:/home/username/filename:3" even though there is no error message to
prefix because it isn't sent to the client.

Bruce Momjian 165565cd94 Some additional doc changes based around compression of page images in
WAL and the interaction of the new full_page_writes parameter with PITR.

The too-small WAL first sect1 has been merged with the one following
sect1 for clarity.

Some minor comments have been made in the WAL config section also.

Passes SGML make and proofread for typos.
