Tom Lane 24a4aff68e No need for screen_size to be static. 2001-01-06 17:43:01 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 8c3d7715bc Simplify rules to build man pages so they run a lot faster and create less
noise.
2001-01-06 16:54:16 +00:00
Tatsuo Ishii 5eee6f1ba6 Update multibyte Japanese doc for 7.1. 2001-01-06 12:38:28 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut bc0afb715d EXECUTE documentation, from "Robert B. Easter" <reaster@comptechnews.com>.
I threw in spell check run over the whole file.
2001-01-06 12:26:08 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 3942ee389c Update section on SQL syntax. (Still a lot to be done though.) Add
appendix with comprehensive list of key words.
2001-01-06 11:58:56 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 3ff76734f6 Simplify the rules that explicitly allowed TYPE as a type name (which is
no longer the case).  Add AND and TRAILING to ColLabel.  All key words
except AS are now at least ColLabel's.
2001-01-06 10:50:02 +00:00
Tom Lane 96bd67f61d Bring CREATE RULE reference page into some semblance of agreement with
what's actually implemented.
2001-01-06 04:14:35 +00:00
Tatsuo Ishii a6944611e2 Fix copy to make it more robust against unexpected character
sequences. This is done by disabling multi-byte awareness when it's
not necessary. This is kind of a workaround, not a perfect solution.
However, there is no ideal way to parse broken multi-byte character
sequences. So I guess this is the best way what we could do right
now...

Hiroshi Inoue 4451ed3dfe init_irels() is changed to be called in RelationCacheInitializePhase2()
so that transactional control could guarantee the consistency.
2001-01-06 01:48:59 +00:00
Tom Lane 682b128993 Fix NOT NULL option for plpgsql variables (doesn't look like it
could ever have worked...)
2001-01-06 01:43:01 +00:00
Tom Lane 0ad5e43772 Fix misplaced strdup(), which could lead to error messages referencing
deallocated memory later on.
2001-01-06 01:39:01 +00:00
Tom Lane 81d08fcffe Rename and document some invalidation routines to make it clearer that
they don't themselves flush any cache entries, only add to to-do lists
that will be processed later.
2001-01-05 22:54:37 +00:00
Tom Lane 2fb6cc9045 Remove not-really-standard implementation of CREATE TABLE's UNDER clause,
and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause
instead, per recent discussion in pghackers.  Also fix implementation
of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze().  See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just
after a SET TIMEZONE command.  gram.y really has to be an invariant
transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that
can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.
2001-01-05 06:34:23 +00:00
Tom Lane e62c38d0fc Disallow creation of a child table by a user who does not own the parent
table, per pghackers discussion around 22-Dec-00.

Peter Eisentraut 46e5daf586 Allow NetBSD's libedit to be used instead of GNU Readline. (This simply
amounts to checking for -ledit instead of -lreadline.)
2001-01-04 17:58:48 +00:00

Tom Lane f9d6ffc5c4 Repair guaranteed core dump in SPI_exec(). Guess this routine wasn't
used before ...

Hiroshi Inoue 3052a421d5 I neglected to remove a debug message,sorry. 2001-01-04 02:24:22 +00:00
Tom Lane ea608bfd3b pg_dump failed to handle backslashes embedded in function definitions
(and most other places where it needed to output a string literal, too,
except for data INSERT statements).  Per bug report from Easter, 12/1/00.
2001-01-04 01:23:47 +00:00
Tom Lane 60500d58bc Fix breakage of rules using NOTIFY actions, per bug report and patch
from sergiop@sinectis.com.ar.
2001-01-03 22:01:05 +00:00
Tom Lane 676cf18c5b New file format for COPY BINARY, in accordance with pghackers discussions
of early December 2000.  COPY BINARY is now TOAST-safe.
2001-01-03 20:04:10 +00:00
Tom Lane 8fd2e269f7 MakeRetrieveViewRuleName was scribbling on memory that didn't belong
to it.  Bad dog.
2001-01-03 18:43:09 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart a8aa2f95b4 Repair always-broken date_part('quarter',timestamp).
Previous result did not have correct month boundaries so anything near edge
 cases was suspect (e.g. April was in Q1 and July, August were lumped into
 Q2).
Thanks to Denis Osadchy <osadchy@turbo.nsk.su> for the report.

Peter Eisentraut f0fc635220 Only update stamp-h if config.status actually looks at config.h. 2001-01-02 22:13:05 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 6b75942c72 I've found a memory leak in libecpg of PostgreSQL 7.0.3.
The leak is caused by the memory allocation in
src/interfaces/ecpg/lib/execute.c in line 669 which is never freed.
Adding a "free(array_query);" after PQexec in line 671 seems to fix the
leak.

Tom Lane 3bdadd0426 Document tuple ordering differences as a possible cause of
regression test 'failures'.
2001-01-02 05:56:02 +00:00
Tom Lane 1b8a219eef Clean up non-reentrant interface for hash_seq/HashTableWalk, so that
starting a new hashtable search no longer clobbers any other search
active anywhere in the system.  Fix RelationCacheInvalidate() so that
it will not crash or go into an infinite loop if invoked recursively,
as for example by a second SI Reset message arriving while we are still
processing a prior one.

tuples for a relation.  Needed to prevent Assert failure in CLUSTER.

Tom Lane 52522850fe Don't say 'export PGHOST' or 'export PGPORT' unless we actually define
those variables.  Some shells will invent an empty-string definition in
this case, which is not what we want.
2000-12-31 18:38:44 +00:00
Tom Lane e41b8a0fdd On further thought, we need a defense against empty PGPORT here too. 2000-12-31 18:23:21 +00:00
