setup. This protects against undesired changes in locale behavior
if someone carelessly does setlocale(LC_ALL, "") (and we know who
you are, perl guys).
locale is C.
Backpatch to 8.0.X because some operating systems were throwing errors
for such operations, rather than ignoring the locale when it was C.
only covered the case of assigning "", and failed to recognize that
actually setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,...) does not work at all on this platform.
Magnus Hagander, some code prettification by Tom Lane.
should not be too eager to reject paths involving unknown schemas, since
it can't really tell whether the schemas exist in the target database.
(Also, when reading pg_dumpall output, it could be that the schemas
don't exist yet, but eventually will.) ALTER USER SET has a similar issue.
So, reduce the normal ERROR to a NOTICE when checking search_path values
for these commands. Supporting this requires changing the API for GUC
assign_hook functions, which causes the patch to touch a lot of places,
but the changes are conceptually trivial.
been bit by the fact that the locale functions return pointers to
modifiable variables. I added some comments that might help us avoid
the mistake in future.
GUC support. It's now possible to set datestyle, timezone, and
client_encoding from postgresql.conf and per-database or per-user
settings. Also, implement rollback of SET commands that occur in a
transaction that later fails. Create a SET LOCAL var = value syntax
that sets the variable only for the duration of the current transaction.
All per previous discussions in pghackers.
o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
pointers to data that will be changed by any later call to setlocale.
Must copy what they return to be sure we get the right answer.

for any other purpose than PGLC_localeconv()'s internal save/restore of
locale settings. Fix cash.c to call PGLC_localeconv() rather than
making a direct call to localeconv() --- the old way, if PGLC_localeconv()
had already cached a locale result, it would be overwritten by the first
cash_in or cash_out operation, leading to wrong-locale results later.
Probably no demonstrable bug today, since we only appear to be looking
at the LC_MONETARY results which should be the same anyway, but definitely
a gotcha waiting to strike.
- full support for IW (ISO week) and vice versa conversion for IW too
(the to_char 'week' support is now complete and I hope correct).
Thomas, I use for IW code from timestamp.c, for this I create separate
function date2isoweek() from original 'case DTK_WEEK:' code in the
timestamp_part(). I mean will better use one code for same feature in
date_part() and in to_char(). The isoweek2date() is added to timestamp.c
too. Right?
IMHO in 7.1 will all to_char's features complete. It is cca 41 templates
for date/time and cca 21 for numbers.
* to_ascii:
- gcc, is it correct now? :-)
In the patch is documentation for to_char's IW and for to_ascii().
Karel
The PostgreSQL's to_char() is very compatible with Oracle's to_char
now. I hope that to_char's 3000 rows of source is without bugs, but
will good if anyone test it, for me it works very well :-)
