Tom Lane e5d30091e6 Fix pg_indexes view so that it shows the index's tablespace not the
parent table's tablespace, as per gripe from Michael Kleiser.  Choose
a more plausible column order for this view and pg_tables.  Update
documentation of these views, which was missed in original patch.

Tom Lane 337ffcddba Adjust configuration-files GUC behavior as per my recent proposal.
The vars are renamed to data_directory, config_file, hba_file, and
ident_file, and are guaranteed to be set to accurate absolute paths
during postmaster startup.
This commit does not yet do anything about hiding path values from
non-superusers.

Tom Lane 07ccbeb360 Include schema name in pg_restore -l output, per request from Phil Endecott. 2004-10-08 15:03:26 +00:00
Tom Lane 7ca3a0f3e2 Whack some sense into the configuration-file-location patch.
Refactor code into something reasonably understandable, cause
use of the feature to not fail in standalone backends or in
EXEC_BACKEND case, fix sloppy guc.c table entries, make the
documentation minimally usable.

Bruce Momjian 050beacc6e Pull comment down into its own paragraph. 2004-10-08 00:44:07 +00:00
Bruce Momjian c4c3428914 Add:
* Consider parallel processing a single query

  This would involve using multiple threads or processes to do optimization,
  sorting, or execution of single query.  The major advantage of such a
  feature would be to allow multiple CPUs to work together to process a
  single query.

Bruce Momjian c62a5465fb Suppress psql \s help display for platforms like Win32 that don't
typically install witn readline, and throw an error if they try to
access it.

Bruce Momjian 513e89b44b please find attached an alternate submission which addresses open item
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.

(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
    it simplifies/changes several makefiles.

(2) the documentation reflects the change.

(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

Tom Lane 6c61af6654 Remove arithmetic operators on the 1-byte-char datatype, as per proposals
made several times in the past.  Add coercion functions between "char"
and integer so that a workaround is possible if needed.

Initdb forced.

Bruce Momjian 0ac4ced0b9 Add CVS URL for docs. 2004-10-04 15:29:41 +00:00
Tom Lane 4171bb869f Detect overflow in integer arithmetic operators (integer, smallint, and
bigint variants).  Clean up some inconsistencies in error message wording.
Fix scanint8 to allow trailing whitespace in INT64_MIN case.  Update
int8-exp-three-digits.out, which seems to have been ignored by the last
couple of people to modify the int8 regression test, and remove
int8-exp-three-digits-win32.out which is thereby exposed as redundant.

Tom Lane 4c5e810fcd Code review for NOWAIT patch: downgrade NOWAIT from fully reserved keyword
to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code
for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect
that case cleanly.
