Bruce Momjian cc6c10a7a0 Add capitalization mention. 2006-11-21 15:38:09 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 150328cd61 I noticed that the Partitioning section of the docs has *two* sections
of caveats in different places, but close together. One called caveats,
one not. That looks like it just led to somebody not reading some
appropriate caveats in the second group of caveats (on -admin).

Tom Lane 414c7a537e Change the default setting for log_min_error_statement to ERROR. Per
recent discussion in which majority opinion was that this is a more
widely useful setting than the previous default of PANIC.

localized lengths vary".

Bruce Momjian f88fff1e61 Our MingW FAQ appears to be seriously out of date. Couple of fixes: we
want to direct MSI downloads to main download site, NT4 not supported
anymore, msvc build env in progress, pgsql-hackers-win32 is no more.

Tom Lane fa3d622cb0 Clarify description of CIDR-address column of pg_hba.conf, to discourage
people from trying notations like '10.6/16', which is accepted but does
not mean what you probably think.  Per example from Paul Forgey.

Neil Conway be4dbd9b26 Remove a bunch of antique information from the appendix in the docs
that discusses CVS. Remove the recommendation to use cvs 1.10. Remove
discussion of alleged CVSup binaries on postgresql.org, because they
have not existed for several years. Remove discussion of how to
build cvsup from source because the existing text is outdated, and
more accurate information is available from the CVSup homepage.

Andrew Dunstan 751e3e6bd8 Force plperl and plperlu to run in separate interpreters. Create an error
on an attempt to create the second interpreter if this is not supported by
the perl installation. Per recent -hackers discussion.

Neil Conway f49baa73ef Do a round of copy-editing for the system catalog chapter. In particular,
consistently capitalize the content of the "Description" column but do
not include a terminating period, as is the convention elsewhere in the
docs. Also, remove the "References" column from catalog that do not
have any referencing columns, for the sake of brevity. Make various
other SGML and grammar fixes.

Theo Kramer.

Tom Lane 2c2faa17f2 Emphasize that immutable and stable functions are not allowed to modify
the database.  xfunc.sgml was already pretty definite on the point, but
it doesn't hurt to make it clear here too.

PostgreSQL Daemon 9b3aee524f Tag as Beta3 ... two outstanding *known* bugs before RC1 ... 2006-11-07 17:59:05 +00:00
Tom Lane 9c3f24bb46 Update release notes in preparation for RC1. 2006-11-06 17:00:27 +00:00
Tom Lane 48188e1621 Fix recently-understood problems with handling of XID freezing, particularly
in PITR scenarios.  We now WAL-log the replacement of old XIDs with
FrozenTransactionId, so that such replacement is guaranteed to propagate to
PITR slave databases.  Also, rather than relying on hint-bit updates to be
preserved, pg_clog is not truncated until all instances of an XID are known to
have been replaced by FrozenTransactionId.  Add new GUC variables and
pg_autovacuum columns to allow management of the freezing policy, so that
users can trade off the size of pg_clog against the amount of freezing work
done.  Revise the already-existing code that forces autovacuum of tables
approaching the wraparound point to make it more bulletproof; also, revise the
autovacuum logic so that anti-wraparound vacuuming is done per-table rather
than per-database.  initdb forced because of changes in pg_class, pg_database,
and pg_autovacuum catalogs.  Heikki Linnakangas, Simon Riggs, and Tom Lane.

Tom Lane 10c70b8602 Add note about space usage of 'manual' approach to clustering, per
suggestion from Sergey Koposov.  Also some other minor editing.
2006-11-04 19:03:51 +00:00
Tom Lane 6fada49805 Correct documentation error: in 8.1 and 8.2, %p in archive and restore
command strings inserts relative not absolute path of file to process.
This is a side-effect of 2005-07-04 change that makes the server use
relative paths in general.  Noted by Bernd Helmle.
2006-11-04 18:20:27 +00:00
Tom Lane 17a814ca02 Mention 'void' as the proper return type when there's nothing to
return, per suggestion from Joachim Wieland.

Neil Conway bc4b856e7b Add text to the VACUUM, REINDEX, DROP TABLESPACE and CREATE TABLESPACE
reference pages documenting that these commands cannot be used within
a transaction block. Also make some minor improvements to the psql
reference page. Patch from Simon Riggs, minor editorialization by
myself.
