Tom Lane 595ed2a855 Make the behavior of HAVING without GROUP BY conform to the SQL spec.
Formerly, if such a clause contained no aggregate functions we mistakenly
treated it as equivalent to WHERE.  Per spec it must cause the query to
be treated as a grouped query of a single group, the same as appearance
of aggregate functions would do.  Also, the HAVING filter must execute
after aggregate function computation even if it itself contains no
aggregate functions.

Tom Lane 35a5fb6863 Move expanded discussion of inheritance's limitations out of tutorial
and into ddl.sgml.  Rewrite for more completeness and (hopefully)
clarity.

Bruce Momjian 2539edc53f This adds a caveat to the inheritance part of the tutorial.

Bruce Momjian db57396c1f Alter query.sgml to mention PostgreSQL as an ORDBMS. This falls in line
with advocacy and 'portal' websites.

Link to createdb / dropdb from the tutorial page about create / dropdb.
A pair of notes were asking about more info...

Peter Eisentraut 387d43113c Avoid using the terms 'installation', 'site', or 'instance' when referring
to the thing you get from running initdb.  That's called a database cluster
(per SQL).

Peter Eisentraut 1b555ce791 Replace incorrect uses of 'which' with 'that'. (so-called "wicked which") 2000-12-22 18:57:50 +00:00
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.

Regards,
Graham
