Bruce Momjian 10249abfa1 Cleanup Win32 COPY handling, and move archive examples to SGML. 2004-08-12 19:03:44 +00:00
Tom Lane 35f539b481 When expanding %p in archive_command or restore_command, translate
slashes to backslashes #ifdef WIN32.  This is to cope with the fact
that Windows seems exceedingly unfriendly to slashes in shell commands,
as per recent discussion.

Tom Lane bdf8ef6925 Create a built-in log rotation program, so that we no longer have to
recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program.  Additional
benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than
externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and
restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen
often).
Andreas Pflug, some rework by Tom Lane.

Tom Lane 58c41712d5 Add functions pg_start_backup, pg_stop_backup to create backup label
and history files as per recent discussion.  While at it, remove
pg_terminate_backend, since we have decided we do not have time during
this release cycle to address the reliability concerns it creates.
Split the 'Miscellaneous Functions' documentation section into
'System Information Functions' and 'System Administration Functions',
which hopefully will draw the eyes of those looking for such things.

Tom Lane 5cc380f9a3 Error message style adjustments, per Alvaro Herrera. 2004-08-01 17:45:43 +00:00
Tom Lane 2042b3428d Invent WAL timelines, as per recent discussion, to make point-in-time
recovery more manageable.  Also, undo recent change to add FILE_HEADER
and WASTED_SPACE records to XLOG; instead make the XLOG page header
variable-size with extra fields in the first page of an XLOG file.
This should fix the boundary-case bugs observed by Mark Kirkwood.
initdb forced due to change of XLOG representation.

Tom Lane 66ec2db728 XLOG file archiving and point-in-time recovery. There are still some
loose ends and a glaring lack of documentation, but it basically works.

Simon Riggs with some editorialization by Tom Lane.
