94427b1914 Since 7.1 the data type size of TIME has been increased. 2001-08-31 01:55:25 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut
9cf701f324 Start adding some more documentation about the number types. Make 
bigserial and alias for serial8 for consistency with bigint/int8.

Tom Lane
d4f4b971a4 Sequences are now based on int8, not int4, arithmetic. SERIAL pseudo-type 
has an alias SERIAL4 and a sister SERIAL8.  SERIAL8 is just the same
except the created column is type int8 not int4.
initdb forced.  Note this also breaks any chance of pg_upgrade from 7.1,
unless we hack up pg_upgrade to drop and recreate sequences.  (Which is
not out of the question, but I don't wanna do it.)

plus a few trivial improvements in wording.

efcecd9eca Make bit and bit varying types reject too long input. (They already tried 
to do that, but inconsistently.)  Make bit type reject too short input,
too, per SQL.  Since it no longer zero pads, 'zpbit*' has been renamed to
'bit*' in the source, hence initdb.

5546ec289b Make char(n) and varchar(n) types raise an error if the inserted string is 
too long.  While I was adjusting the regression tests I moved the array
things all into array.sql, to make things more manageable.

d42d31e78e Alter documentation of boolean type, add example. Someone figured that it 
wasn't clear that the "boolean type" was actually called "boolean".  Add
tip about "casting" booleans using CASE.

Spell check whole file.

1b555ce791 Replace incorrect uses of 'which' with 'that'. (so-called "wicked which") 2000-12-22 18:57:50 +00:00
Tom Lane
61784c54b5 Change default output formatting for CIDR to be unabbreviated, per 
recommendation from Paul Vixie.  Add a new abbrev() function to produce
abbreviated format as text.  No forced initdb, but new function is not
available unless you do an initdb or add the pg_proc row manually.

5a0152b3fd I think in datatype.sgml line 506 or so: 
<entry>varchar(n)</entry>
        <entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>

should be
   <entry>varchar(n)</entry>
        <entry>(4+n) bytes</entry>

or
   <entry>varchar(x)</entry>
        <entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>

a210023008 Adjust INET/CIDR display conventions and reimplement some INET/CIDR 
functions, per recent discussions on pghackers.  For now, I have called
the verbose-display formatting function text(), but will reconsider if
enough people object.
initdb forced.

457ac0331c Implement differentiation between CURRENT_USER and SESSION_USER as per SQL. 
There is still no effective difference but it will kick in once setuid
functions exist (not included here).  Make old getpgusername() alias for
current_user.
