Bruce Momjian 32cebaecff Remove emacs info from footer of SGML files. 2006-09-16 00:30:20 +00:00
Tom Lane 7f7e8cc3f2 Allow commas in BEGIN, START TRANSACTION, and SET TRANSACTION, as required
by the SQL standard.  For backwards compatibility, however, continue to
accept the syntax without.  Minor editorialization in the reference pages
for these commands, too.

Bruce Momjian ff8d68df5c Included is an example of using savepoints in a non-trivial example.
Giving examples in the SQL command reference is hard because we don't
have conditionals at the SQL level.

Tom Lane efcaf1e868 Some mop-up work for savepoints (nested transactions). Store a small
number of active subtransaction XIDs in each backend's PGPROC entry,
and use this to avoid expensive probes into pg_subtrans during
TransactionIdIsInProgress.  Extend EOXactCallback API to allow add-on
modules to get control at subxact start/end.  (This is deliberately
not compatible with the former API, since any uses of that API probably
need manual review anyway.)  Add basic reference documentation for
SAVEPOINT and related commands.  Minor other cleanups to check off some
of the open issues for subtransactions.
Alvaro Herrera and Tom Lane.

TRANSACTION.

PostgreSQL Daemon 969685ad44 $Header: -> $PostgreSQL Changes ... 2003-11-29 19:52:15 +00:00
Tom Lane d4019b7cd3 Remove a bunch of content-free Diagnostics sections, as per previous
discussion.  (Still have some work to do editing the remainder.)

Peter Eisentraut c326d8f4f2 Add/edit index entries. 2003-08-31 17:32:24 +00:00
Tom Lane f85f43dfb5 Backend support for autocommit removed, per recent discussions. The
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON.  Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.

Peter Eisentraut 7c084d148f Bring SQL ref pages to consistent format, part 1. 2003-04-15 13:25:08 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 5e5c5cd31a Merge documentation into one book. (Build with "make html".) Replace
vague cross-references with real links.

Bruce Momjian be2b660ecd This patch includes a lot of minor cleanups to the SGML documentation,
including:

- replacing all the appropriate usages of <citetitle>PostgreSQL
...</citetitle> with &cite-user;, &cite-admin;, and so on

- fix an omission in the EXECUTE documentation

- add some more text to the EXPLAIN documentation

- improve the PL/PgSQL RETURN NEXT documentation (more work to do here)

- minor markup fixes

Peter Eisentraut bc49968764 Add more appropriate markup. 2002-09-21 18:32:54 +00:00
Tom Lane 9c279355fb Updates to reflect availability of autocommit option. 2002-08-30 22:45:25 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 19e0e35bcd The attached patch implements START TRANSACTION, per SQL99. The
functionality of the command is basically identical to that of
BEGIN; it just accepts a few extra options (only one of which
PostgreSQL currently implements), and is standards-compliant.
The patch includes a simple regression test and documentation.

[ Regression tests removed, per Peter.]

Thomas G. Lockhart c05f29e895 Augment the date/time examples in the User's Guide to reflect the newer
capabilities of specifying time zones as intervals per SQL9x.
Put refentrytitle contents on the same line as the tag.
 Otherwise, leading whitespace is propagated into the product, which
 (at least) messes up the ToC layout.
Remove (some) docinfo tags containing dates. Best to omit if the dates
 are not accurate; maybe use CVS dates instead or leave them out.

Bruce Momjian 3c0d21a28e Update reference pages for new INFO, NOTICE, WARNING elog() levels. 2002-03-06 06:48:05 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart 03a321d214 Use PostgreSQL consistantly throughout docs. Before, usage was split evenly
between Postgres and PostgreSQL.

Peter Eisentraut 89a1ea4207 Put some kind of grammatical uniformity in the <refpurpose> lines. 2001-09-03 12:57:50 +00:00

Bruce Momjian a759460178 New beos files. FAQ cleanup. 2000-10-07 14:16:02 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart 39f69bc38f Start updating for the v7.0 release.
Use "generic functions" for math and other routines.
Use SQL92 "type 'literal'" syntax rather than Postgres "'literal'::type".
2000-03-27 17:14:43 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 2b84cbb60f A few minor psql enhancements
Initdb help correction
Changed end/abort to commit/rollback and changed related notices
Commented out way old printing functions in libpq
Fixed a typo in alter table / alter column
2000-01-29 16:58:54 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart a27512e634 Complete merge of all old man page information.
ecpg reference page still needs formatting.
1999-07-22 15:09:15 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart a4ac2f458e Fix markup for docbook2man man page generation.
No big deal; fixed lots of other markup at the same time.
Bigest change: make sure there is no whitespace
 in front of <term> contents.
This will probably help the other output types too.
1999-07-06 17:16:42 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart 1ac838edba Minor updates for release.
Split reference pages for CREATE TABLE AS and SELECT INTO to allow psgml
 (the emacs parser) to handle parsing.

Thomas G. Lockhart 6866cbc7c7 Very minor formatting fixup in the refentry id field to remove
the trailing "-1". This makes a cleaner html output file name.
Clean up a few refpurpose fields.
