Tom Lane 6088bfb8b6 Create a quick-and-dirty list of known migration issues for pre-8.3
users of tsearch.  This isn't meant to be permanent documentation,
but to call out the areas that need either fixing or real documentation.

Tom Lane f1c87830b5 Add a useless return statement to suppress a warning seen with some
versions of gcc (I'm seeing it with Apple's gcc 4.0.1).  I think the
reason we did not see this before was that the assert() macros in the
regex code were all no-ops till recently.

Tom Lane 1ea47dd8cb Fix shared tsvector/tsquery input code so that we don't say "syntax error in
tsvector" when we are really parsing a tsquery.  Report the bogus input,
too.  Make styles of some related error messages more consistent.
2007-10-21 22:29:56 +00:00
Tom Lane dfc6f130b4 Editorial overhaul for text search documentation. Organize the info
more clearly, improve a lot of unclear descriptions, add some missing
material.  We still need a migration guide though.

Tom Lane 531ead8ab4 Adjust error message to agree with documentation. The tsearch documentation
uniformly calls these things weights, not classes.

Tom Lane 41a312a1f6 Add a note pointing out that you can't log to syslog without tweaking
the syslog configuration file (at least not on most known Unixen).
I dunno why we hadn't had that info in the docs all along ...
2007-10-20 04:00:38 +00:00
Tom Lane 638bd34f89 Found another small glitch in tsearch API: the two versions of ts_lexize()
are really redundant, since we invented a regdictionary alias type.
We can have just one function, declared as taking regdictionary, and
it will handle both behaviors.  Noted while working on documentation.

Bruce Momjian 62c99fc289 First pass over release documentation. I trimmed down some of the
entries and removed a few.

Bruce Momjian 6bec963aa5 Re-add FAQ item:
<H3 id="item4.19">4.19) Why do I get "relation with OID #####
    does not exist" errors when accessing temporary tables in PL/PgSQL
    functions?</H3>

Tom Lane 26cbf791ec Add missing entry for PG_WIN1250 encoding, per gripe from Pavel Stehule.
Also enable translation of PG_WIN874, which certainly seems to have an
obvious translation now, though maybe it did not at the time this table's
ancestor was created.
2007-10-17 15:24:04 +00:00
Tom Lane 6efae5bf2a Another round of editorialization on the text search documentation.
Notably, standardize on using "token" for the strings output by a parser,
while "lexeme" is reserved for the normalized strings produced by a
dictionary.

Tom Lane 2011bebc89 Use 'token' not 'lexeme' to describe the output of a parser. 2007-10-16 18:02:26 +00:00
Tom Lane 56303abff0 Tweak toast-related logic in heapam.c so that the toaster is only invoked
when relkind = RELKIND_RELATION.  This syncs these tests with the Asserts
in tuptoaster.c, and ensures that we won't ever try to, for example,
compress a sequence's tuple.  Problem found by Greg Stark while stress-testing
with much-smaller-than-normal page sizes.

Tom Lane 9a4b29d832 Teach pgxs.mk and Install.pm how to install files from a contrib module
into SHAREDIR/tsearch_data.  Use this instead of ad-hoc coding in
dict_xsyn/Makefile.  Should fix current ContribCheck failures on MSVC.

Tom Lane febd60bf5d Fix pg_wchar_table[] to match revised ordering of the encoding ID enum.
Add some comments so hopefully the next poor sod doesn't fall into the
same trap.  (Wrong comments are worse than none at all...)
2007-10-15 22:46:27 +00:00
Tom Lane 4b21d1f09b Remove obsolete examples of add-on parsers and dictionary templates;
these are more easily and usefully maintained as contrib modules.
Various other wordsmithing, markup improvement, etc.
2007-10-15 21:39:57 +00:00
Tom Lane 5fcb079858 Add sample text search dictionary templates and parsers, to replace the
hard-to-maintain textual examples currently in the SGML docs.  From
Sergey Karpov.

Tom Lane fb631dba2a Include NOLOGIN roles in the 'flat' password file. In the original
coding this was seen as useless, but the problem with not including them
is that the error message will often be something about authentication
failure, rather than the more helpful one about 'role is not permitted
to log in'.  Per discussion.

Tom Lane 7cf3ff109d make install is supposed to install everything under src/include/,
but it was missing a bunch of recently-added subdirectories.

Tom Lane cd8e1f50dd Ooops, forgot about adding -DFRONTEND. 2007-10-13 23:22:46 +00:00
Tom Lane 18e3fcc31e Migrate the former contrib/txid module into core. This will make it easier
for Slony and Skytools to depend on it.  Per discussion.
2007-10-13 23:06:28 +00:00
Tom Lane 17333b6d09 Remove contrib/txid, in preparation for migrating it into core. 2007-10-13 22:59:43 +00:00
Tom Lane 041a8b37f5 Try to fix msvc build for recent initdb changes. 2007-10-13 22:55:38 +00:00
Tom Lane 2ffc0e8849 Strengthen type_sanity's check on pg_type.typarray. It failed to
complain about types that didn't have typarray set.  Noted while
working on txid patch.
2007-10-13 22:33:38 +00:00
Tom Lane ff1de5cef6 Guard against possible double free during error escape from XML
functions.  Patch for the reported issue from Kris Jurka, some
other potential trouble spots plugged by Tom.

Tom Lane 8468146b03 Fix the inadvertent libpq ABI breakage discovered by Martin Pitt: the
renumbering of encoding IDs done between 8.2 and 8.3 turns out to break 8.2
initdb and psql if they are run with an 8.3beta1 libpq.so.  For the moment
we can rearrange the order of enum pg_enc to keep the same number for
everything except PG_JOHAB, which isn't a problem since there are no direct
references to it in the 8.2 programs anyway.  (This does force initdb
unfortunately.)

Going forward, we want to fix things so that encoding IDs can be changed
without an ABI break, and this commit includes the changes needed to allow
libpq's encoding IDs to be treated as fully independent of the backend's.
The main issue is that libpq clients should not include pg_wchar.h or
otherwise assume they know the specific values of libpq's encoding IDs,
since they might encounter version skew between pg_wchar.h and the libpq.so
they are using.  To fix, have libpq officially export functions needed for
encoding name<=>ID conversion and validity checking; it was doing this
anyway unofficially.

It's still the case that we can't renumber backend encoding IDs until the
next bump in libpq's major version number, since doing so will break the
8.2-era client programs.  However the code is now prepared to avoid this
type of problem in future.

Note that initdb is no longer a libpq client: we just pull in the two
source files we need directly.  The patch also fixes a few places that
were being sloppy about checking for an unrecognized encoding name.
2007-10-13 20:18:42 +00:00
Tom Lane 537e92e41f Fix ALTER COLUMN TYPE to preserve the tablespace and reloptions of indexes
it affects.  The original coding neglected tablespace entirely (causing
the indexes to move to the database's default tablespace) and for an index
belonging to a UNIQUE or PRIMARY KEY constraint, it would actually try to
assign the parent table's reloptions to the index :-(.  Per bug #3672 and
subsequent investigation.

8.0 and 8.1 did not have reloptions, but the tablespace bug is present.

Bruce Momjian bf673f2525 Attached some minor corrections, mainly completion of removal of
the  "relation with OID ##### does not exist" item, and some URL
corrections.

Tom Lane 106264ca3f Teach planagg.c that partial indexes specifying WHERE foo IS NOT NULL can be
used to perform MIN(foo) or MAX(foo), since we want to discard null rows in
the indexscan anyway.  (This would probably fall out for free if we were
injecting the IS NOT NULL clause somewhere earlier, but given the current
anatomy of the MIN/MAX optimization code we have to do it explicitly.
Fortunately, very little added code is needed.)  Per a discussion with
Henk de Wit.
