Tom Lane 163edee632 Improve discussion of consistent-snapshot backup technique. Haphazard
editing of this text had left nearly contradictory statements in
adjacent paragraphs ...

Peter Eisentraut b89744198e Some refinement of XSLT processing: The result now looks just about as good

Neil Conway 024f3fa52f Minor documentation improvements. 2004-01-11 05:46:58 +00:00
Neil Conway e97b8f2da9 Add CREATE TRIGGER, CREATE INDEX, and CREATE SEQUENCE to the list of
expressions supported by CREATE SCHEMA.

Also added the beginning of some regression tests for CREATE SCHEMA;
plenty more work is needed here.

Neil Conway 98dcf085e3 Implement "WITH / WITHOID OIDS" clause for CREATE TABLE AS. This is
intended to allow application authors to insulate themselves from
changes to the default value of 'default_with_oids' in future releases
of PostgreSQL.

This patch also fixes a bug in the earlier implementation of the
'default_with_oids' GUC variable: code in gram.y should not examine
the value of GUC variables directly due to synchronization issues.

Bruce Momjian 0150dbdce5 Allow libpq to do thread-safe SIGPIPE handling. This allows it to
ignore SIGPIPE from send() in libpq, but terminate on any other SIGPIPE,
unless the user installs their own signal handler.

This is a minor fix because the only time you get SIGPIPE from libpq's
send() is when the backend dies.

Bruce Momjian a95df8f2bf Completed, I am pretty sure:

Tom Lane a77e32d7c5 Apply the core parts of Dennis Bjorklund's patch to allow function
parameters to be declared with names.  pg_proc has a column to store
names, and CREATE FUNCTION can insert data into it, but that's all as
yet.  I need to do more work on the pg_dump and plpgsql portions of the
patch before committing those, but I thought I'd get the bulky changes
in before the tree drifts under me.
initdb forced due to pg_proc change.

Neil Conway bc028beb16 Make the 'wal_debug' GUC variable a boolean (rather than an integer), and
hide it behind #ifdef WAL_DEBUG blocks.

Neil Conway 71998c1e51 Remove an old and out-of-date SGML comment from this file: we already

Bruce Momjian a922472a2a Supress non-temp schemas from psql \dn display. 2003-12-23 23:13:14 +00:00
Tom Lane 9adaf64da3 Mop-up for HAS_TEST_AND_SET refactoring. Un-break two or three platforms
that were broken, try to make layout of s_lock.h entries consistent,
use HAVE_SPINLOCKS in preference to HAS_TEST_AND_SET everywhere outside
s_lock.h itself.

Bruce Momjian 4e005c9095 Fix broken markup. 2003-12-20 15:59:25 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 54c8e821b8 In my mind there were two categories of open issues
a) ones that are 100% backward (such as the comment about
     outputting this format)
and
  b) ones that aren't (such as deprecating the current
     postgresql shorthand of
         '1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 minute
     in favor of the ISO-8601
         'P1Y1M'::interval = 1 year 1 month.

Attached is a patch that addressed all the discussed issues that
did not break backward compatability, including the ability to
output ISO-8601 compliant intervals by setting datestyle to
iso8601basic.

Interval values can now be written as  ISO 8601 time intervals, using
the "Format with time-unit designators". This format always starts with
the character 'P', followed  by a string of values followed
by single character time-unit designators. A 'T' separates the date and
time parts of the interval.
