Bruce Momjian 8d4b23fcae doc: make ref/*.sgml file header comment layout consistent 2020-05-15 08:52:24 -04:00
Peter Eisentraut 1ff01b3902 Convert SGML IDs to lower case
IDs in SGML are case insensitive, and we have accumulated a mix of upper
and lower case IDs, including different variants of the same ID.  In
XML, these will be case sensitive, so we need to fix up those
differences.  Going to all lower case seems most straightforward, and
the current build process already makes all anchors and lower case
anyway during the SGML->XML conversion, so this doesn't create any
difference in the output right now.  A future XML-only build process
would, however, maintain any mixed case ID spellings in the output, so
that is another reason to clean this up beforehand.

Peter Eisentraut c29c578908 Don't use SGML empty tags
For DocBook XML compatibility, don't use SGML empty tags (</>) anymore,
replace by the full tag name.  Add a warning option to catch future
occurrences.

Peter Eisentraut bb4eefe7bf doc: Improve DocBook XML validity
DocBook XML is superficially compatible with DocBook SGML but has a
slightly stricter DTD that we have been violating in a few cases.
Although XSLT doesn't care whether the document is valid, the style
sheets don't necessarily process invalid documents correctly, so we need
to work toward fixing this.

This first commit moves the indexterms in refentry elements to an
allowed position.  It has no impact on the output.

Bruce Momjian a6542a4b68 Change SET LOCAL/CONSTRAINTS/TRANSACTION and ABORT behavior
Change SET LOCAL/CONSTRAINTS/TRANSACTION behavior outside of a
transaction block from error (post-9.3) to warning.  (Was nothing in <=
9.3.)  Also change ABORT outside of a transaction block from notice to
warning.

Bruce Momjian a54141aebc Issue error on SET outside transaction block in some cases
Issue error for SET LOCAL/CONSTRAINTS/TRANSACTION outside a transaction
block, as they have no effect.

Peter Eisentraut 6dcce3985b Remove unnecessary xref endterm attributes and title ids
The endterm attribute is mainly useful when the toolchain does not support
automatic link target text generation for a particular situation.  In  the
past, this was required by the man page tools for all reference page links,
but that is no longer the case, and it now actually gets in the way of
proper automatic link text generation.  The only remaining use cases are
currently xrefs to refsects.

Tom Lane 04ef404018 Update SET CONSTRAINTS reference page --- it failed to mention EXCLUDE
constraints and was lacking a couple of other interesting details.

Tom Lane 25d9bf2e3e Support deferrable uniqueness constraints.
The current implementation fires an AFTER ROW trigger for each tuple that
looks like it might be non-unique according to the index contents at the
time of insertion.  This works well as long as there aren't many conflicts,
but won't scale to massive unique-key reassignments.  Improving that case
is a TODO item.

Peter Eisentraut d129255077 Set SQL man pages to be section 7 by default, and only transform them to
another section if required by the platform (instead of the old way of
building them in section "l" and always transforming them to the
platform-specific section).

This speeds up the installation on common platforms, and it avoids some
funny business with the man page tools and build process.

Bruce Momjian 02eb8f4f5c Use schema search path to find the first matching contraint name for SET
CONSTRAINT, rather than affecting all constraints in all schemas (which
is what we used to do).  Also allow schema specifications.

Tom Lane b339d1fff6 Fire non-deferred AFTER triggers immediately upon query completion,
rather than when returning to the idle loop.  This makes no particular
difference for interactively-issued queries, but it makes a big difference
for queries issued within functions: trigger execution now occurs before
the calling function is allowed to proceed.  This responds to numerous
complaints about nonintuitive behavior of foreign key checking, such as
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-09/msg00020.php, and
appears to be required by the SQL99 spec.
Also take the opportunity to simplify the data structures used for the
pending-trigger list, rename them for more clarity, and squeeze out a
bit of space.

Tom Lane b1c4bdae74 Clarify description of SET CONSTRAINTS. Point out that it is still
missing the ability to schema-qualify constraint names.

conventions more consistent.

Peter Eisentraut 2c0edb3c86 Separated set constraints and set transaction reference pages, revised set
reference page to new configuration system. Big update to administrator's
guide, chapters Runtime environment, Client authentication, and User
management, the latter two were part of the old Security chapter.
