Bruce Momjian c35eb1504a Add doc link to section about how to compile triggers. 2009-04-07 04:02:41 +00:00
Tom Lane 387060951e Add an optional parameter to pg_start_backup() that specifies whether to do
the checkpoint in immediate or lazy mode.  This is to address complaints
that pg_start_backup() takes a long time even when there's no need to minimize
its I/O consumption.

Heikki Linnakangas 1eef90d0a2 Rename the new CREATE DATABASE options to set collation and ctype into

Tom Lane 65e758a4d3 Remove contrib/intarray's definitions of the <@ and @> operators, so that they
don't cause confusion with the built-in anyarray versions of those operators.
Adjust the module's index opclasses to support the built-in operators in place
of the private ones.

The private implementations are still available under their historical
names @ and ~, so no functionality is lost.  Some quick testing suggests
that they offer no real benefit over the core operators, however.

Per a complaint from Rusty Conover.

Tom Lane df13324f08 Add a "relistemp" boolean column to pg_class, which is true for temporary
relations (including a temp table's indexes and toast table/index), and
false for normal relations.  For ease of checking, this commit just adds
the column and fills it correctly --- revising the relation access machinery
to use it will come separately.
