Tom Lane cdbf9b328e Move docs about index cost estimation functions and writing a procedural
language handler to the 'Internals' area, per my proposal of yesterday.
Clean up the trigger documentation a bit.  Push SPI chapter to the end
of its part, and reorder the Internals chapters into what seems a more
sensible order (at the moment anyway).

Tom Lane 336297e676 Another example-to-documentation difference. Maybe we can find a
better way to keep these in sync...

Tom Lane 2744abb736 Ooops, missed updating this part of the complex-datatype example. 2003-10-21 23:28:42 +00:00
Tom Lane 6fbb14a174 Update the complex-datatype example to V1 function calling conventions,
and add binary send/receive functions.  Fix some other grottiness such
as failure to mark the C functions STRICT.
2003-10-21 22:51:14 +00:00
Tom Lane 6c7c493a09 For some reason, the preface mentions just six of the seven major parts
of the book.  Fix it.

Tom Lane 2b23bf376b Fix built-in SQL-language functions to ensure that referenced names

Tom Lane 7eb67fc98b Cope with platforms that offer LONGLONG_MIN in place of the C99-spec
LLONG_MIN.  One example is AIX, per report from Andreas.

Tom Lane c9f8c2fd04 Revert to 7.3-and-before practice of only including <fcntl.h> in c.h

Peter Eisentraut fd90da7f94 Update catalog version after information schema changes. 2003-10-20 21:39:37 +00:00
Tom Lane 3b64171edb Complain if pg_restore is given both -d and -f options; this suggests
the user is confused about whether -f is input or output file.

Tom Lane 1df7a455dd It is possible for ResolveNew to be used to insert a sublink into a
subquery that didn't previously have one.  We have traditionally made
the caller of ResolveNew responsible for updating the hasSubLinks flag
of the outermost query, but this fails to account for hasSubLinks in
subqueries.  Fix ResolveNew to handle this.  We might later want to
change the calling convention of ResolveNew so that it can fix the
outer query too, simplifying callers.  But I went with the localized
fix for now.  Per bug report from J Smith, 20-Oct-03.

Tom Lane 17841ddbbf Improve error reporting in parseTypeString(), motivated by confusing
behavior reported by Martin Marques.

Michael Meskes 3b72087bf6 Install dummy sqlda.h file since this is needed for compatibility. 2003-10-20 12:54:29 +00:00
Tom Lane 41e6e36719 When building shared libraries on HPUX with gcc, forcibly include -lgcc
to ensure any needed compiler support routines are included.  This is
arguably appropriate on *every* gcc platform, but for the moment I'll take
the conservative approach of only doing it on a platform where it's
provably useful.  Per complaint from Heiko Lehmann, 13-Feb-03, as well
as personal experience --- contrib/pgstattuple has never worked for me,
but it does now.

Tom Lane 6f169057de Save_r, Save_t should be static not global variables. 2003-10-19 23:43:51 +00:00
Tom Lane 5319ba3803 Update README file to show 7.4 oidjoins relationships. The regression
test was updated previously, but documentation is lagging.

Tom Lane 9dfdbef345 Adjust libpq to avoid deadlock when both client and server want to send
data, and both have filled the transmission buffers.  One scenario where
this can happen was illustrated here:

Michael Meskes d5353acbc3 Check for both Informix modes when parsing include files. 2003-10-19 13:22:33 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 9d77708d83 Cleanup on --help-config: Now called --describe-config, no further options,
machine readable, without headers, not sorted.  Parameter descriptions
adjusted to fit first sentence + rest convention.

Tom Lane e341cdb085 Further work on information_schema. _pg_keyissubset() wasn't quite
fully search-path-proof yet; also, element_types view did not work for
parameters and result types of functions, because it didn't generate
the object_name for the function the same way the data_type_privileges
view does.  While at it, centralize dependencies on INDEX_MAX_KEYS/
FUNC_MAX_ARGS into a function returning setof int, so that it will be
easier to fix information_schema for nonstandard values of these
parameters.

Tom Lane eda80f09ff Repair interaction between IN-join processing and subselect pullup that
I inadvertently broke a few days ago (per report from Sean Thomas).
Add regression test case to try to catch any similar breakage in future.

Peter Eisentraut 9ea6d0fc80 Information schema fixes:
Use pg_get_constraintdef instead of pg_constraint.consrc
Use UNION ALL instread of UNION
Make use of regclass type for getting OID of system catalogs
Add schema qualifications where necessary
Fix typos
2003-10-18 12:53:35 +00:00
Tom Lane f2f7107024 Must free the pgParameterStatus chain in freePGconn(). My fault,
well spotted by Neil Conway.
2003-10-18 05:02:06 +00:00
Tom Lane 0a4048646b Document all the system views created by initdb (several of these were
never documented anywhere, sigh).  Centralize the detailed documentation
of system views into catalogs.sgml, and provide cross-references.
2003-10-17 22:38:20 +00:00
Tom Lane e5c2c97892 Add a listing of our SQLSTATE error codes to the documentation.
Link to it from some appropriate places.

Peter Eisentraut 1b7ac7f130 Remove automatic '()' in other branch of UNION as well. 2003-10-17 11:52:06 +00:00
Tom Lane fe1b5034dd Adjust display of actual runtimes in EXPLAIN output to use three fractional
digits, and label it 'ms' not 'msec', for consistency with psql's \timing
display.  Per recent discussions.
2003-10-17 01:14:26 +00:00
Tom Lane fa2356a1ac Use pg_get_constraintdef() rather than pg_constraint.consrc; this is
a portion of a patch recently submitted by Christopher Kings-Lynne.
Applied by agreement that this is a bug fix.
2003-10-17 00:57:04 +00:00
Tom Lane dec4ed311a Add note deprecating use of consrc. 2003-10-17 00:55:17 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 44430dbc15 Fix bugs in referential_constraints view. 2003-10-16 23:46:17 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 4a48c671d2 There should not be an automatic '()' after a function name when
tab-completing.
2003-10-16 23:45:29 +00:00
Tom Lane 52b59a7bec Set attstattarget to -1 for all system catalog columns. All but a few
of the entries used to be zero, which I think I had deliberately done in
the name of saving cycles during ANALYZE, but it was really a rather
foolish decision.  Some of the more complex views in information_schema
were getting really bad plans for lack of statistics on the columns they
were joining over.

I'm not forcing an initdb for this, but I think there will be one soon
anyway to repair some bugs in the information_schema views.

Tom Lane 64c1fc7257 Avoid division by zero in estimate_num_groups() when table has no rows. 2003-10-16 21:37:54 +00:00
Tom Lane 624292aa35 Ensure that all places that are complaining about exhaustion of shared
memory say 'out of shared memory'; some were doing that and some just
said 'out of memory'.  Also add a HINT about increasing max_locks_per_transaction
where relevant, per suggestion from Sean Chittenden.  (The former change
does not break the strings freeze; the latter does, but I think it's
worth doing anyway.)
2003-10-16 20:59:35 +00:00
Tom Lane 2ec74435cd Cause tab completion to do something moderately reasonable with mixed-case
identifiers --- it will now complete these correctly with double quoting.
Fix a few other issues in passing.
2003-10-16 20:03:09 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 9ad637f749 Add mention of SIGHUP on the postmaster manual page. 2003-10-16 17:38:01 +00:00
