bf4507e3af I think it's important that it's actually documented that they can add 
primary keys after the fact!

Also, we need to add regression tests for alter table / add primary key
and alter table / drop constraint.  These shouldn't be added until 7.3
tho
methinks...

9832a235c5 Modify COPY TO to emit carriage returns and newlines as backslash escapes 
(backslash-r, backslash-n) for protection against newline-conversion
munging.  In future we will also tweak COPY FROM, but this part of the
change should be backwards-compatible.  Per pghackers discussion.
Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
more completely and accurately.

99a3396822 ecpg.sgml manual page updated to ON. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you run 'ecpg --help' you get the following:

          -t   turn on autocommit of transactions

amongst the other options... Shouldn't this be OFF as per the
documentation?

Best regards, Lee.

004293317f Here's a patch adding documentation for the PQescapeBytea function to 
libpq.sgml

I was trying (but gave up) to cross-reference back to the input escape
table in the User's Guide, but could not get the documentation to
compile with a cross-book xref (missing IDREF error). Can a cross-book
xref be done?

01e0dae689 I've created a new section to func.sgml, "Binary String Functions and 
Operators", plagiarized shamelessly from the "String Functions and
Operators" section. There were enough differences that it made sense (at
least to me) to give this its own section instead of cramming it in with
normal string functions. This way I could also make the examples
relevant, which is particularly important for bytea.

One thing I think worth mentioning: while documenting the trim()
function I realized that I never implemented the bytea equivalent of
rtrim and ltrim. Therefore, the 'leading' and 'trailing' forms of trim,
available with text, are not available with bytea (I'd be happy to
correct this, but since it would require an initdb, I guess not until
7.3) -- the submitted doc accurately reflects this.

I will look for other areas of the docs that need mention of bytea, but
any guidance would be much appreciated.

--

Here's a second bytea documentation patch. This one significantly
expands the "Binary Data" section added by Bruce recently.

a585c20d12 Tweak parser so that there is a defined representation for datatypes 
bpchar, bit, numeric with typmod -1.  Alter format_type so that this
representation is printed when the typmod is -1.  This ensures that
tables having such columns can be pg_dump'd and reloaded correctly.
Also, remove the rather useless and non-SQL-compliant default
precision and scale for type NUMERIC.  A numeric column declared as
such (with no precision/scale) will now have typmod -1 which means
that numeric values of any precision/scale can be stored in it,
without conversion to a uniform scale.  This seems significantly
more useful than the former behavior.  Part of response to bug #513.

1d3a47af0c Attached patch for unconditional enabling of pltcl-unknown support. 
Enabling this feature adds very light overhead of 1 select from pg_class on
first using of pl/tcl in backend if unknown suppport is really unused.
But pl/tcl with this support has very improved functionality.

Patch includes changes to documentation.

f426465ba9 Add a new function "pg_client_encoding" which returns the current client 
side encoding name. This is necessary for client API's such as JDBC
to perform correct encoding conversions. See my email "[HACKERS]
pg_client_encoding" 10 Sep 2001.

f9e6e27c87 Break transformCreateStmt() into multiple routines and make 
transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of
duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code.
Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now,
and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses
actually fire now.  ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo
having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.

2034086ed1 Correct some errors in plpgsql examples, as reported by Junichi Kobayasi. 2001-10-09 04:55:11 +00:00
Tom Lane
0b3bca6c6f Change plpgsql to depend on main parser's type-declaration grammar, 
rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type
declaration looks like.  This is necessary now to ensure that plpgsql
will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp'
does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.
