Magnus Hagander 9f2e211386 Remove cvs keywords from all files. 2010-09-20 22:08:53 +02:00
Peter Eisentraut 6dcce3985b Remove unnecessary xref endterm attributes and title ids
The endterm attribute is mainly useful when the toolchain does not support
automatic link target text generation for a particular situation.  In  the
past, this was required by the man page tools for all reference page links,
but that is no longer the case, and it now actually gets in the way of
proper automatic link text generation.  The only remaining use cases are
currently xrefs to refsects.

Peter Eisentraut d129255077 Set SQL man pages to be section 7 by default, and only transform them to
another section if required by the platform (instead of the old way of
building them in section "l" and always transforming them to the
platform-specific section).

This speeds up the installation on common platforms, and it avoids some
funny business with the man page tools and build process.

Peter Eisentraut 8ecd535169 Add WITH [NO] DATA clause to CREATE TABLE AS, per SQL.
Also, since WITH is now a reserved word, simplify the token merging code to
only deal with WITH_TIME.

Tom Lane acfce502ba Create a GUC parameter temp_tablespaces that allows selection of the
tablespace(s) in which to store temp tables and temporary files.  This is a
list to allow spreading the load across multiple tablespaces (a random list
element is chosen each time a temp object is to be created).  Temp files are
not stored in per-database pgsql_tmp/ directories anymore, but per-tablespace
directories.

Neil Conway 85c0eac1af Add TABLESPACE and ON COMMIT clauses to CREATE TABLE AS. ON COMMIT is
required by the SQL standard, and TABLESPACE is useful functionality.
Patch from Kris Jurka, minor editorialization by Neil Conway.

Neil Conway 505d9be3e6 Update CREATE TABLE AS docs to reflect the fact that CREATE TABLE AS was
added to the SQL:2003 standard.

Neil Conway cda1bd6cfe Various minor improvements to the SGML documentation: fix some incorrect
SGML markup, add a "deprecated features" section to the 8.0 release
notes, untabify release.sgml and runtime.sgml, and make some other
minor improvements.

Tom Lane fcbc438727 Label CVS tip as 8.0devel instead of 7.5devel. Adjust various comments

Neil Conway 80ec228389 Refer to GUC variables using <xref> tags rather than <varname> tags,
where appropriate. Add "id" and "xreflabel" tags to the descriptions
of the GUC variables to facilitate this. Also make a few minor docs
cleanups.

Neil Conway 98dcf085e3 Implement "WITH / WITHOID OIDS" clause for CREATE TABLE AS. This is
intended to allow application authors to insulate themselves from
changes to the default value of 'default_with_oids' in future releases
of PostgreSQL.

This patch also fixes a bug in the earlier implementation of the
'default_with_oids' GUC variable: code in gram.y should not examine
the value of GUC variables directly due to synchronization issues.

Neil Conway 7fb5a9992c This patch makes some SGML markup more consistent and makes a small
improvement to the SSL auth docs.
2003-12-13 23:59:07 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 7ce9b7c0d8 This patch adds a new GUC var, "default_with_oids", which follows the
proposal for eventually deprecating OIDs on user tables that I posted
earlier to pgsql-hackers. pg_dump now always specifies WITH OIDS or
WITHOUT OIDS when dumping a table. The documentation has been updated.

discussion.  (Still have some work to do editing the remainder.)

Peter Eisentraut 71e9f3b07f Change EXECUTE INTO to CREATE TABLE AS EXECUTE. 2003-07-01 00:04:31 +00:00
Tom Lane ac5fdea687 When a TIMESTAMP, TIME, or INTERVAL precision is specified larger than our
implementation limits, do not issue an ERROR; instead issue a NOTICE and use
the max supported value.  Per pgsql-general discussion of 28-Apr, this is
needed to allow easy porting from pre-7.3 releases where the limits were
higher.

Unrelated change in same area: accept GLOBAL TEMP/TEMPORARY as a synonym
for TEMPORARY, as per pgsql-hackers discussion of 15-Apr.  We previously
rejected it, but that was based on a misreading of the spec --- SQL92's
GLOBAL temp tables are really closer to what we have than their LOCAL ones.

Tom Lane 40dc76e315 Recommend CREATE TABLE AS in preference to SELECT INTO. Remove the
(inadequate anyway) mention of SELECT INTO from the main SELECT ref page.
Point out that SELECT INTO means something else in plpgsql and ecpg.

Thomas G. Lockhart a4ac2f458e Fix markup for docbook2man man page generation.
No big deal; fixed lots of other markup at the same time.
Bigest change: make sure there is no whitespace
 in front of <term> contents.
This will probably help the other output types too.
1999-07-06 17:16:42 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart 1ac838edba Minor updates for release.
Split reference pages for CREATE TABLE AS and SELECT INTO to allow psgml
 (the emacs parser) to handle parsing.
