Bruce Momjian 5276950874 Update COMMENT item:
< 	o Prevent COMMENT ON dbname from issuing a warning when loading
< 	  into a database with a different name, perhaps using COMMENT ON
< 	  CURRENT DATABASE
> 	o Change pg_dump so that a comment on the dumped database is
> 	  applied to the loaded database, even if the database has a
> 	  different name.  This will require new backend syntax, perhaps
> 	  COMMENT ON CURRENT DATABASE.

A bunch of other desultory copy-editing, too.
2007-11-19 03:47:14 +00:00
Tom Lane 3ebb8867aa Minor improvement in documentation of temp_tablespaces: avoid grammatical

Tom Lane fb8b38e4bf Add a couple of notes pointing out that GIN index build time is very
sensitive to maintenance_work_mem (something I just learned the hard
way).
2007-11-16 03:23:07 +00:00
Bruce Momjian ee214defa0 Add more detail for non-TEXT cast release item. 2007-11-15 20:10:32 +00:00

Tom Lane a1715ac8f7 Adjust example to reduce confusion between a tsvector column and
an index, per Simon.
2007-11-14 23:48:55 +00:00
Tom Lane 866bad9543 Add a rank/(rank+1) normalization option to ts_rank(). While the usefulness
of this seems a bit marginal, if it's useful enough to be shown in the manual
then we probably ought to support doing it without double evaluation of the
ts_rank function.  Per my proposal earlier today.
2007-11-14 23:43:27 +00:00
Tom Lane ca450a07ee Add an Accept parameter to "simple" dictionaries. The default of true
gives the old behavior; selecting false allows the dictionary to be used
as a filter ahead of other dictionaries, because it will pass on rather
than accept words that aren't in its stopword list.

Bruce Momjian a44c81d1b7 Mention that GSSAPI is preferred over Kerberos authentication because
GSSAPI is industry-standard.
2007-11-14 14:38:30 +00:00
Magnus Hagander 9394059261 Add note about deprecating krb5 authentication in favour of GSSAPI,
per discussions (a long time ago). Documentation only, we keep full
support in the code.

Bruce Momjian 1a339a3939 Properly capitalize "Migrate To Version"; seems we always had that
wrong.

Tom Lane de085820bf Update discussion of tsearch2 migration. I'm not entirely sure about
the division of material between here and the tsearch2 contrib page,
but at least it's not obviously unfinished any more.
2007-11-14 03:26:24 +00:00
Tom Lane 42e3ab3f11 Move contrib docs to an appendix (next door to External Projects).
Change title to Additional Supplied Modules.  Improve discussion of
