Bruce Momjian f91ee129a7 Simplify optional WITH handling in CREATE USER, ALTER USER, CREATE

Thomas G. Lockhart c05f29e895 Augment the date/time examples in the User's Guide to reflect the newer
capabilities of specifying time zones as intervals per SQL9x.
Put refentrytitle contents on the same line as the tag.
 Otherwise, leading whitespace is propagated into the product, which
 (at least) messes up the ToC layout.
Remove (some) docinfo tags containing dates. Best to omit if the dates
 are not accurate; maybe use CVS dates instead or leave them out.

Tom Lane a833c441fd Add OWNER option to CREATE DATABASE, so superusers can create databases
on behalf of unprivileged users.  Also, make '=' optional in CREATE
DATABASE syntax.  From Gavin Sherry, with kibitzing and docs by Tom Lane.

Thomas G. Lockhart 03a321d214 Use PostgreSQL consistantly throughout docs. Before, usage was split evenly
between Postgres and PostgreSQL.

Tom Lane 0729c4a61f Clean up treatment of creating/dropping databases in User's Guide and
Admin Guide.  Move discussion of template databases out of footnotes
in CREATE DATABASE ref page and into a section of the Admin Guide.
Clean up various obsolete claims, do some copy-editing.

Peter Eisentraut 89a1ea4207 Put some kind of grammatical uniformity in the <refpurpose> lines. 2001-09-03 12:57:50 +00:00
Tom Lane bc7d37a525 Transaction IDs wrap around, per my proposal of 13-Aug-01. More
documentation to come, but the code is all here.  initdb forced.

Peter Eisentraut d807129503 Repair markup 2000-11-15 19:43:39 +00:00
Tom Lane 2cf48ca04b Extend CREATE DATABASE to allow selection of a template database to be
cloned, rather than always cloning template1.  Modify initdb to generate
two identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1.
Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remain
in its virgin as-initdb'd state.  pg_dumpall now dumps databases with
restore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0.
This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1.
initdb forced!

Thomas G. Lockhart 39f69bc38f Start updating for the v7.0 release.
Use "generic functions" for math and other routines.
Use SQL92 "type 'literal'" syntax rather than Postgres "'literal'::type".

Peter Eisentraut 4579e68db2 Updated user's guide to match new psql's output format
Fixed bug in createdb/alternative location
2000-03-26 18:32:30 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 11023eb1f5 Meanwhile, database names with single quotes in names don't work very well
at all, and because of shell quoting rules this can't be fixed, so I put
in error messages to that end.

Also, calling create or drop database in a transaction block is not so
good either, because the file system mysteriously refuses to roll back rm
calls on transaction aborts. :) So I put in checks to see if a transaction
is in progress and signal an error.

Also I put the whole call in a transaction of its own to be able to roll
back changes to pg_database in case the file system operations fail.

The alternative location issues I posted recently were untouched, awaiting
the outcome of that discussion. Other than that, this should be much more
fool-proof now.

The docs I cleaned up as well.

Bruce Momjian 240e4c98f5 New scripts for create/drop user/db from Peter Eisentraut 1999-12-04 04:53:22 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart a27512e634 Complete merge of all old man page information.
ecpg reference page still needs formatting.
1999-07-22 15:09:15 +00:00
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.

Thomas G. Lockhart a75f2d21a8 Clean up to ensure tag completion as required by the newest versions

Thomas G. Lockhart 6866cbc7c7 Very minor formatting fixup in the refentry id field to remove
