Bruce Momjian d5470aba5c in catalog.sgml
line 1324:
"left-hand" should be "right-hand"

BTW: new document looks very good!
And the new configure/build process seems much better then before!

Thanks!

Tom Lane b44e46cfce Remove error check that disallowed setval() on a sequence with cache
value greater than one.  The behavior this sought to disallow doesn't
seem any less confusing than the other behaviors of cached sequences.
Improve wording of some error messages, too.
Update documentation accordingly.  Also add an explanation that
aborted transactions do not roll back their nextval() calls; this
seems to be a FAQ, so it ought to be mentioned here...

Tom Lane c715fdea26 Significant cleanups in SysV IPC handling (shared mem and semaphores).
IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters
are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch).
There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3.
Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a
complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c.  TAS and non-TAS
logic is now exactly the same.
When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR)
message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.

Tom Lane bbea3643a3 Store current LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE settings in pg_control during initdb;
re-adopt these settings at every postmaster or standalone-backend startup.
This should fix problems with indexes becoming corrupt due to failure to
provide consistent locale environment for postmaster at all times.  Also,
refuse to start up a non-locale-enabled compilation in a database originally
initdb'd with a non-C locale.  Suppress LIKE index optimization if locale
is not "C" or "POSIX" (are there any other locales where it's safe?).
Issue NOTICE during initdb if selected locale disables LIKE optimization.

Bruce Momjian 3f1998727d here is a patch for formatting.c (to_char/timestampt()), for 7.1
it fixing Y,YY,YYY,YYYY conversion, the docs and regress tests update
 are included too.

  During the patch testing I found small bug in miscadmin.h in
convertstr() declaration. Here it's fixed too.

 Thanks

Peter Eisentraut 5b00ea9e50 Make SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS compliant with SQL 99. Remove redundant,
non-standard clauses.  Allow CHARACTERISTICS as unquoted identifier.
Merge related reference pages.

Peter Eisentraut b2e76d570b Revive Reference Manual, remove reference pages from User's Guide.
Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation.  Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.

filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files).  No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.

There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources.  Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.

Tom Lane 5bb2300b59 Revise handling of oldstyle/newstyle functions per recent discussions
in pghackers list.  Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone
(no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry
'internal' now implies newstyle call convention.  pg_language entry
'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions
are now called language 'C'.  A newstyle function must be identified
by an associated info routine.  See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.

Tom Lane a933ee38bb Change SearchSysCache coding conventions so that a reference count is
maintained for each cache entry.  A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed.  This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use.  See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.

Bruce Momjian 5a0152b3fd I think in datatype.sgml line 506 or so:
<entry>varchar(n)</entry>
        <entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>

should be
   <entry>varchar(n)</entry>
        <entry>(4+n) bytes</entry>

or
   <entry>varchar(x)</entry>
        <entry>(4+x) bytes</entry>

Peter Eisentraut 0937bf9544 Small polishing of syslog facility and ident settings. Only allow setting
at postmaster start, rename syslog_progid to syslog_ident, since syslog
itself uses that term, fix doc markup.

Tom Lane 2cf48ca04b Extend CREATE DATABASE to allow selection of a template database to be
cloned, rather than always cloning template1.  Modify initdb to generate
two identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1.
Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remain
in its virgin as-initdb'd state.  pg_dumpall now dumps databases with
restore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0.
This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1.
initdb forced!
