Bruce Momjian 76beb79d27 in the tutorial, chapter 2., "Relational Data Model Formalities"
(sql490.htm), there is

"set of all k-tuples v1, v2, ... vk, such that v1 [isin] D1, v1 [isin] D1"

i assume it should be
"set of all k-tuples v1, v2, ... vk, such that v1 [isin] D1, v2 [isin] D2"

Bruce Momjian 87070ccc13 It looks Ok, but it has one unnecessary step. There is no need to do the "mv
privkey.pem cert.pem.pw" if you just use "privkey.pem" in the following
openssl command (e.g. openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out cert.pem".
But there is nothing wrong with it as it is now, as far as I can see.

Bruce Momjian d128852358 In the Programmer's Guide, the sample code for accessing large objects
from libpq has two functions with memory leaks.

The functions pickout() and overwrite() malloc space for buf which is
never freed.

See
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/programmer/largeobjects3207.htm

This problem is also in the 6.5 docs at
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/6.5/programmer/x3184.htm

Bruce Momjian df389d161d Approaching the current documentation from a position of ignorance, I
find it ambiguous.  I propose something along the lines of the
following patch to clarify it.  Thanks.

(Alternatively, perhaps the code could maintain a count of nested
calls to SPI_connect/SPI_finish.  But I didn't try to write that
patch.)

Tom Lane 2fb6cc9045 Remove not-really-standard implementation of CREATE TABLE's UNDER clause,
and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause
instead, per recent discussion in pghackers.  Also fix implementation
of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze().  See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just
after a SET TIMEZONE command.  gram.y really has to be an invariant
transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that
can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.

Bruce Momjian 36da236eb3 In 'Joins between classes' in Section 5 of the tutorial we have, in
the first paragraph:

    As an example, say we wish to find all the records that
    are in the  temperature  range  of  other records. In
    effect, we need to compare the temp_lo and temp_hi
    attributes of each EMP instance to the temp_lo and
    temp_hi  attributes of all other EMP instances.

I believe that EMP should read WEATHER, as the example query that
follows joins WEATHER to itself.

EMP is often used in Oracle examples.

Graham

Tom Lane b44e46cfce Remove error check that disallowed setval() on a sequence with cache
value greater than one.  The behavior this sought to disallow doesn't
seem any less confusing than the other behaviors of cached sequences.
Improve wording of some error messages, too.
Update documentation accordingly.  Also add an explanation that
aborted transactions do not roll back their nextval() calls; this
seems to be a FAQ, so it ought to be mentioned here...

Tom Lane c715fdea26 Significant cleanups in SysV IPC handling (shared mem and semaphores).
IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters
are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch).
There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3.
Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a
complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c.  TAS and non-TAS
logic is now exactly the same.
When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR)
message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.

Tom Lane bbea3643a3 Store current LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE settings in pg_control during initdb;
re-adopt these settings at every postmaster or standalone-backend startup.
This should fix problems with indexes becoming corrupt due to failure to
provide consistent locale environment for postmaster at all times.  Also,
refuse to start up a non-locale-enabled compilation in a database originally
initdb'd with a non-C locale.  Suppress LIKE index optimization if locale
is not "C" or "POSIX" (are there any other locales where it's safe?).
Issue NOTICE during initdb if selected locale disables LIKE optimization.

Bruce Momjian 3f1998727d here is a patch for formatting.c (to_char/timestampt()), for 7.1
it fixing Y,YY,YYY,YYYY conversion, the docs and regress tests update
 are included too.

  During the patch testing I found small bug in miscadmin.h in
convertstr() declaration. Here it's fixed too.

 Thanks

Peter Eisentraut 5b00ea9e50 Make SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS compliant with SQL 99. Remove redundant,
non-standard clauses.  Allow CHARACTERISTICS as unquoted identifier.
Merge related reference pages.

Peter Eisentraut b2e76d570b Revive Reference Manual, remove reference pages from User's Guide.
Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation.  Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.

filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files).  No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.

There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources.  Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.

Tom Lane 5bb2300b59 Revise handling of oldstyle/newstyle functions per recent discussions
in pghackers list.  Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone
(no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry
'internal' now implies newstyle call convention.  pg_language entry
'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions
are now called language 'C'.  A newstyle function must be identified
by an associated info routine.  See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.

Tom Lane a933ee38bb Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count is
maintained for each cache entry.  A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed.  This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use.  See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.

Bruce Momjian 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>
