afcc6fbb60 Remove a caveat from the "backup" documentation: pg_dump now does a
better job of handling dependencies between database objects.

d46b1f904e Minor editorializing on cost-based vacuum description. 2004-02-17 07:36:47 +00:00
Neil Conway
ee33fe889e Significant improvements to the documentation for the new cost-based
vacuum delay feature, including updating the docs for Tom's recent
improvements. There is still more work to be done here: for example,
adding some more information on the practical use of cost-based
vacuum delay to the "maintenance" section would probably be a good
idea.

c53611e3e7 This patch brings up to date what I did last year (now unfortunately
bitrotted) to allow the logging of the end of a session, enabled by
the config setting "log_disconnections".

f0c9397f80 First steps towards statistics on expressional (nee functional) indexes.
This commit teaches ANALYZE to store such stats in pg_statistic, but
nothing is done yet about teaching the planner to use 'em.
Also, repair longstanding oversight in separate ANALYZE command: it
updated the pg_class.relpages and reltuples counts for the table proper,
but not for indexes.

someone asked me about the FK deadlock fix, mentioned in the 7.3.3
release notes as 3rd change:

     http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/release-7-3-3.html

Actually, that fix was available with 7.4, not 7.3. Don't know if we can
retroactively change the release-notes though.

A better workaround for the sentence would be something like:

        "and it also happens that the user always has permission"

Looks easier to read, I think.

391c3811a2 Rename SortMem and VacuumMem to work_mem and maintenance_work_mem.
Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints
use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit.
Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their
old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.
