Tom Lane 3c2d497f8d Some desultory markup improvements in the new release notes. 2007-10-04 22:55:49 +00:00
Neil Conway 0b3f5ac43d Two fixes for the release notes from Guillaume Smet. In passing, make
a minor markup improvement.
2007-10-04 07:53:07 +00:00
Neil Conway 77b0f459c8 First pass at SGML-ifying the 8.3 release notes. Plenty of improvements
left to made, but this is a start.
2007-10-04 03:53:58 +00:00
Tom Lane 0a04109d60 Second pass at 8.3 release notes: put items in a bit more logical order
where possible, add overview and incompatibilities lists, minor cleanups.
The SGML-ification still leaves much to be desired.
2007-10-03 23:02:16 +00:00
Neil Conway a522db7d62 Various minor improvements to the 8.3 release notes. 2007-10-03 22:06:13 +00:00
Tom Lane 6d673a63ed First cut at 8.3 release notes. SGML markup is nonexistent, and
the 'overview' and 'incompatibilities' summary lists remain to be
written.  But I think all the raw info is there (indeed maybe too
verbose).
2007-10-03 03:32:31 +00:00
Tom Lane 48f7e64395 Simplify and rename some GUC variables, per various recent discussions:
* stats_start_collector goes away; we always start the collector process,
unless prevented by a problem with setting up the stats UDP socket.

* stats_reset_on_server_start goes away; it seems useless in view of the
availability of pg_stat_reset().

* stats_block_level and stats_row_level are merged into a single variable
"track_counts", which controls all reports sent to the collector process.

* stats_command_string is renamed to track_activities.

* log_autovacuum is renamed to log_autovacuum_min_duration to better reflect
its meaning.

The log_autovacuum change is not a compatibility issue since it didn't exist
before 8.3 anyway.  The other changes need to be release-noted.

Security: CVE-2007-2138
2007-04-20 03:27:23 +00:00
Tom Lane aa27977fe2 Support explicit placement of the temporary-table schema within search_path.
This is needed to allow a security-definer function to set a truly secure
value of search_path.  Without it, a malicious user can use temporary objects
to execute code with the privileges of the security-definer function.  Even
pushing the temp schema to the back of the search path is not quite good
enough, because a function or operator at the back of the path might still
capture control from one nearer the front due to having a more exact datatype
match.  Hence, disable searching the temp schema altogether for functions and
operators.

Security: CVE-2007-2138

Security: CVE-2007-0555, CVE-2007-0556
2007-02-02 00:10:23 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 8b4ff8b6a1 Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot.
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Bruce Momjian a134ee3379 Update documentation on may/can/might:
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

Peter Eisentraut 2b25e1169f The -X option in pg_dump was supposed to be a workaround for the lack of
portable long options.  But we have had portable long options for a long
time now, so this is obsolete.  Now people have added options which *only*
work with -X but not as regular long option, so I'm putting a stop to this:
-X is deprecated; it still works, but it has been removed from the
documentation, and please don't add more of them.

Bruce Momjian af2e8a872d Documentation cleanup mention:
non-ascii                       convert to & escapes
2005-12-06 18:45:18 +00:00
Bruce Momjian dae896b67d Since my name has a non-ascii-letter in it, it's often spelled wrong. In
the latest release notes there is a latin1 character that shouldn't be
there so I made a patch to fix that. This patch also fixes some old
entries that uses o instead of &ouml; (which is also wrong but not as
bad as including a latin1 character in the sgml file).

Tom Lane fc5894bf77 Adjust parser so that POSTQUEL-style implicit RTEs are stored with

it's now actually used.  Per recent discussion.

early binding for nextval() calls in default clauses.
2005-10-03 01:57:59 +00:00
Tom Lane aa731ed843 Change nextval and other sequence functions to specify their sequence
argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string.  The frontend
conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an
implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass.  This provides
backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument
is explicitly typed as 'text'.  When the argument is just an unadorned
literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the
stored representation will be an OID.  This solves longstanding problems
with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as
well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or
moving them to another schema.  All per recent discussion.
Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support
for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).

Bruce Momjian 8a64ec6285 Add "basic" for table partitioning. 2005-09-22 23:24:58 +00:00
Neil Conway e4d9b69779 Rename pg_complete_relation_size() to pg_total_relation_size(), for the
sake of brevity and clarity.

Make pg_reload_conf(), pg_rotate_logfile(), and pg_cancel_backend()
return a boolean rather than an integer to indicate success or failure.

Along the way, make some minor cleanups to dbsize.c -- in particular,
use elog() rather than ereport() for "shouldn't happen" error
conditions, and remove some of the more flagrant violations of the
Postgres indentation conventions.

Catalog version bumped.
