Peter Eisentraut 5266f221a2 Merge postmaster and postgres command into just postgres. postmaster
symlink is kept for now for compatibility.  To call single-user mode, use
postgres --single.

Peter Eisentraut 0bc2a8ca65 Build src/test/regress/README during tarball making like the other
generated text files.  Fix build of that file, too.

Put the text files in the right place during make dist, so there are no
extra manual steps required anymore.

Neil Conway 1d763d9107 Allow an optional alias for the target table to be specified for UPDATE
and DELETE. If specified, the alias must be used instead of the full
table name. Also, the alias currently cannot be used in the SET clause
of UPDATE.

Patch from Atsushi Ogawa, various editorialization by Neil Conway.
Along the way, make the rowtypes regression test pass if add_missing_from
is enabled, and add a new (skeletal) regression test for DELETE.

Tom Lane a33fadfd6d Add an entry to the discussion of regression test failures about the
possibility of a failure due to stack overflow when max_stack_depth is
not set properly for the platform.

Tom Lane 4c80071b81 With the interval/day patch, the horology regression test no longer

problem.  Also improve the description of variant-comparison-file
selection.
2005-07-24 17:07:18 +00:00

Tom Lane 63bd0db121 Integrate src/timezone library for all platforms. There is more we can
and should do now that we control our own destiny for timezone handling,
but this commit gets the bulk of the picayune diffs in place.

Bruce Momjian a0aab48fcd Okay, that should put us back in sync. These two patches (src & doc) are
against the sources from one hour ago and contain all the portable and
up
to date stuff.

A few other CVS "householding" things you might want to take care of:

* Remove the src/bin/cleardbdir directory

* Remove the file src/bin/psql/sql_help.h from the repository, as it is
a derived file and is build by the release_prep.
