DATABASE/TABLE/INDEX is the proper order.

Bruce Momjian 8bc717cb88 New version attached. The following is implemented:
- CLUSTER ALL clusters all the tables that have some index with
  indisclustered set and the calling user owns.
- CLUSTER tablename clusters the named table, using the index with
  indisclustered set.  If no index has the bit set, throws elog(ERROR).
- The multi-relation version (CLUSTER ALL) uses a multitransaction
  approach, similar to what VACUUM does.

of cursor.

Tom Lane f9b5b41ef9 Code review for ON COMMIT patch. Make the actual on-commit action happen
before commit, not after :-( --- the original coding is not only unsafe
if an error occurs while it's processing, but it generates an invalid
sequence of WAL entries.  Resurrect 7.2 logic for deleting items when
no longer needed.  Use an enum instead of random macros.  Editorialize
on names used for routines and constants.  Teach backend/nodes routines
about new field in CreateTable struct.  Add a regression test.

Bruce Momjian b26dfbb0e3 Here is a patch that does just that, while maintaining the
"traditional" behavior, so the change should be transparent. Use the
command "\pset pager always" to turn it on. Anything else does the
normal toggle between "on" and "off"

Tom Lane 6a7273e14c Fix permissions-checking bugs and namespace-search-path bugs in
CONVERSION code.  Still need to figure out what to do about inappropriate
coding in parsing.

Tom Lane 6b704bf501 Add note about sort order of character datatypes being locale-dependent,
per suggestion from Nicolaus Erichsen.

Tom Lane 210a039d4f Since ANY is a reserved word, better suggest that ANY be quoted when
used for the input type of an aggregate.

Tom Lane 93dca0d224 Fix incomplete definition of ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP CONSTRAINT syntax.
Add some verbiage about recent tweaks to behavior of ADD and DROP
COLUMN when there are descendant tables.
2002-10-19 22:51:45 +00:00
Tom Lane 44dc9c1faa Fix psql's \copy to accept table names containing schemas, as well as
a column list.  Bring its parsing of quoted names and quoted strings
somewhat up to speed --- I believe it now handles all non-error cases
the same way the backend would, but weird boundary conditions are not
necessarily done the same way.

Bruce Momjian 5aa7849e1b set.patch updates an example in ref/set.sgml to have microsecond

exclusive lock is not obtained during normal (non-FULL) vacuum.

Bruce Momjian d015dcbe4e Have SET not start transaction when autocommit off, with doc updates. 2002-10-09 04:59:38 +00:00
Tom Lane 916d8164df Restrict CREATE OPERATOR CLASS to superusers, per discussion some weeks
ago.
2002-10-04 22:19:29 +00:00
Tom Lane d2db166c75 Require superuser privilege to create a binary-compatible cast, per
discussion some weeks ago.  Also, add a check that two types to be
binary-equivalenced match as to typlen, typbyval, and typalign; if
they don't then it's surely a mistake to equivalence them.
2002-10-04 22:08:44 +00:00
Tom Lane 71e74a2f58 Re-enable pg_resetxlog to accept -l values in hexadecimal (it used to
be able to do that, but the ability seems to have got lost in the
shuffle).  Add a -o nextOID switch for completeness.  Improve the
documentation to explain how and why to use these switches.
2002-10-02 21:30:13 +00:00
Tom Lane c6367df506 Change default privileges for languages and functions to be PUBLIC USAGE
and PUBLIC EXECUTE, respectively.  Per discussion about easing updates
from prior versions.
2002-09-24 23:14:25 +00:00
Tom Lane 286fb25243 Make \dS work more like it used to, viz, show only system objects. 2002-09-22 20:44:22 +00:00
Tom Lane eb3adab568 Provide an upgrade strategy for dump files containing functions declared
with OPAQUE.  CREATE LANGUAGE, CREATE TRIGGER, and CREATE TYPE will all
accept references to functions declared with OPAQUE --- but they will
issue a NOTICE, and will modify the function entries in pg_proc to have
the preferred type-safe argument or result types instead of OPAQUE.
Per recent pghackers discussions.

Bruce Momjian 674818dce8 This patch corrects a minor mis-statement in the CREATE DOMAIN docs,
pointed out by Chris KL on -hackers a little while ago -- NOT NULL !=
CHECK xxx IS NOT NULL.

Tom Lane b26dfb9522 Extend pg_cast castimplicit column to a three-way value; this allows us
to be flexible about assignment casts without introducing ambiguity in
operator/function resolution.  Introduce a well-defined promotion hierarchy
for numeric datatypes (int2->int4->int8->numeric->float4->float8).
Change make_const to initially label numeric literals as int4, int8, or
numeric (never float8 anymore).
Explicitly mark Func and RelabelType nodes to indicate whether they came
from a function call, explicit cast, or implicit cast; use this to do
reverse-listing more accurately and without so many heuristics.
Explicit casts to char, varchar, bit, varbit will truncate or pad without
raising an error (the pre-7.2 behavior), while assigning to a column without
any explicit cast will still raise an error for wrong-length data like 7.3.
This more nearly follows the SQL spec than 7.2 behavior (we should be
reporting a 'completion condition' in the explicit-cast cases, but we have
no mechanism for that, so just do silent truncation).
Fix some problems with enforcement of typmod for array elements;
it didn't work at all in 'UPDATE ... SET array[n] = foo', for example.
Provide a generalized array_length_coerce() function to replace the
specialized per-array-type functions that used to be needed (and were
missing for NUMERIC as well as all the datetime types).
Add missing conversions int8<->float4, text<->numeric, oid<->int8.
initdb forced.

Bruce Momjian fba5c7b944 Remove pgaccess from docs; not shipping it anymore. 2002-09-07 16:49:50 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 40853dd445 Allow pg_dumpall to work with previous releases again. Don't pass the -c
option down to pg_dump, where it's useless, and clarify the meaning of -c
in the documentation.
2002-09-07 16:14:33 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 38e444aae6 Make sure the pg_dump tar archiver can handle members larger than 2 GB, but
does not create members larger than allowed by the tar format.  Also, fix
the generation of the tar header to conform to POSIX.
2002-09-06 21:58:36 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 5fc10c3d17 Remove PGPASSWORDFILE and default to always trying $HOME/.pgpass.
Cleanup up memory allocation for $HOME in related psql places.

Update mention of $HOME/.pgpass in the docs;  add mention in pg_dumpall.

Tom Lane d61de58906 Arrange for the default permissions on a database to allow temp table
creation to world, but disallow temp table creation in template1.  Per
latest round of pghackers discussion.
I did not force initdb, but the permissions lockdown on template1 will
not take effect unless you do one (or manually REVOKE TEMP ON DATABASE template1 FROM public).

Tom Lane 4a954ce79d Documentation improvements. 2002-09-03 01:11:37 +00:00
Tom Lane 8f60f43f2e Department of second thoughts: make checks for replacing a view slightly
more flexible, and improve the error reporting.  Also, add documentation
for REPLACE RULE/VIEW.
2002-09-02 20:04:40 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 81efc82608 This patch fixes a minor inaccuracy in the documentation: NOT NULL is
not synonymous with CHECK (xxx IS NOT NULL) -- for example, consider
ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY, which checks for 'NOT NULL', not a check
constraint.
