Peter Eisentraut f7e508a759 Make the placeholder naming in the synopses of the SQL help more consistent 2009-09-19 10:23:27 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 20f7f019f9 Easier to translate psql help
Instead of requiring translators to translate the entire SQL command
synopses, change create_help.pl to only require them to translate the
placeholders, and paste those into the synopsis using a printf mechanism.
Make some small updates to the markup to make it easier to parse.

Note: This causes msgmerge of gettext 0.17 to segfault.  You will need
the patch from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27474 to make it work.
msgmerge usually only runs on babel.postgresql.org, however.

Peter Eisentraut d129255077 Set SQL man pages to be section 7 by default, and only transform them to
another section if required by the platform (instead of the old way of
building them in section "l" and always transforming them to the
platform-specific section).

This speeds up the installation on common platforms, and it avoids some
funny business with the man page tools and build process.

Neil Conway dfcf99bf93 Fix a bunch of bad grammar in the docs: "<link>, which see for more
information" is un-good English.

Bruce Momjian 32cebaecff Remove emacs info from footer of SGML files. 2006-09-16 00:30:20 +00:00
Tom Lane 58d214e51f Basic documentation for ROLEs. The user-manag chapter still needs to
be rewritten, but at least the reference pages are reasonably sane.

Tom Lane d4019b7cd3 Remove a bunch of content-free Diagnostics sections, as per previous
discussion.  (Still have some work to do editing the remainder.)

Peter Eisentraut 5e5c5cd31a Merge documentation into one book. (Build with "make html".) Replace
vague cross-references with real links.

Bruce Momjian be2b660ecd This patch includes a lot of minor cleanups to the SGML documentation,
including:

- replacing all the appropriate usages of <citetitle>PostgreSQL
...</citetitle> with &cite-user;, &cite-admin;, and so on

- fix an omission in the EXECUTE documentation

- add some more text to the EXPLAIN documentation

- improve the PL/PgSQL RETURN NEXT documentation (more work to do here)

- minor markup fixes

Thomas G. Lockhart c05f29e895 Augment the date/time examples in the User's Guide to reflect the newer
capabilities of specifying time zones as intervals per SQL9x.
Put refentrytitle contents on the same line as the tag.
 Otherwise, leading whitespace is propagated into the product, which
 (at least) messes up the ToC layout.
Remove (some) docinfo tags containing dates. Best to omit if the dates
 are not accurate; maybe use CVS dates instead or leave them out.

Thomas G. Lockhart 03a321d214 Use PostgreSQL consistantly throughout docs. Before, usage was split evenly
between Postgres and PostgreSQL.

Thomas G. Lockhart 39f69bc38f Start updating for the v7.0 release.
Use "generic functions" for math and other routines.
Use SQL92 "type 'literal'" syntax rather than Postgres "'literal'::type".

Peter Eisentraut 4ceb2d0cb6 * User management commands no longer user pg_exec_query_dest -> more robust
* 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.
