(ie, WHERE x > lowbound AND x < highbound). It's not very bright yet
but it does something useful. Also, rename intltsel/intgtsel to
scalarltsel/scalargtsel to reflect usage better. Extend convert_to_scalar
to do something a little bit useful with string data types. Still need
to make it do something with date/time datatypes, but I'll wait for
Thomas's datetime unification dust to settle first. Eventually the
routine ought not have any type-specific knowledge at all; it ought to
be calling a type-dependent routine found via a pg_type column; but
that's a task for another day.
pghackers discussion of 5-Jan-2000. The amopselect and amopnpages
estimators are gone, and in their place is a per-AM amcostestimate
procedure (linked to from pg_am, not pg_amop).
- Prevent permissions on indexes
- Instituted --enable-multibyte option and tweaked the MB build process where necessary
- initdb prompts for superuser password
* Let unprivileged users change their own passwords.
* The password is now an Sconst in the parser, which better reflects its text datatype and also
forces users to quote them.
* If your password is NULL you won't be written to the password file, meaning you can't connect
until you have a password set up (if you use password authentication).
* When you drop a user that owns a database you get an error. The database is not gone.
in libpq --- mostly, poor response to error conditions. You now actually
get to see the postmaster's 'The Data Base System is starting up' message,
which you didn't before. I suspect the SSL code is still broken though.
traced this back to what I believe is an error in the sgml file used to
generate this comment, found in pgsql/doc/src/sgml/ref/alter_table.sgml.
