Tom Lane d330f1554d Clean up libpq's pollution of application namespace by renaming the
exported routines of ip.c, md5.c, and fe-auth.c to begin with 'pg_'.
Also get rid of the vestigial fe_setauthsvc/fe_getauthsvc routines
altogether.

Tom Lane 8ffdcbf23b Add note that some versions of OS X require SHMMAX to be an exact multiple
of 4096.  Also add comment explaining why we don't suggest using
/etc/sysctl.conf to avoid needing to edit /etc/rc.

Neil Conway 2c19629f93 Remove a long comment from cvs.sgml -- AFAICS this is no longer useful,
or at any rate doesn't belong as a comment in a random SGML file.

Neil Conway 1d2e0e6d3e Merge some user-submitted suggestions for improvement into the
documentation. Mostly add some <xref>s, fix a few typos, and
document that zlib is required in the installation docs.

Tom Lane abd3f43b4c Fix syslog bug: if any messages are emitted to write_syslog before
the facility has been set, the facility gets set to LOCAL0 and cannot
be changed later.  This seems reasonably plausible to happen, particularly
at higher debug log levels, though I am not certain it explains Han Holl's
recent report.  Easiest fix is to teach the code how to change the value
on-the-fly, which is nicer anyway.  I made the settings PGC_SIGHUP to
conform with log_destination.

Andrew Dunstan f620098dc8 fix nonsensical summary row on example 2005-10-14 20:48:18 +00:00
Bruce Momjian a93bf4503f Allow times of 24:00:00 to match rounding behavior:
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0);
	   time
	----------
	 24:00:00
	(1 row)

	This is bad because:

	regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0);
	ERROR:  date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00"

The last example now works.

Bruce Momjian 8ac386226d The patch updates the documentation to reflect the fact that higher values
of client_min_messages (fatal + panic) are valid and also fixes a slight
issue with how psql tried to display error messages that aren't sent to
the client.

We often tell people to ignore errors in response to requests for things
like "drop if exists", but there's no good way to completely hide this
without upping client_min_messages past ERROR.  When running a file like

SET client_min_messages TO 'FATAL';

DROP TABLE doesntexist;

with "psql -f filename" you get an error prefix of
"psql:/home/username/filename:3" even though there is no error message to
prefix because it isn't sent to the client.

Bruce Momjian 165565cd94 Some additional doc changes based around compression of page images in
WAL and the interaction of the new full_page_writes parameter with PITR.

The too-small WAL first sect1 has been merged with the one following
sect1 for clarity.

Some minor comments have been made in the WAL config section also.

Passes SGML make and proofread for typos.

PostgreSQL Daemon 5f470ad491 update to beta3 before tagging ... 2005-10-11 23:26:43 +00:00
Tom Lane 96a83d8807 Release notes up to date as of today. 2005-10-11 21:17:11 +00:00
Tom Lane c6b9924bec Remove the DELETEs from pg_shadow and pg_group that pg_dumpall used to
emit when given the --clean option, in favor of individual DROP ROLE
commands.  The old technique could not possibly work in 8.1, and was
never a very good idea anyway IMHO.  The DROP ROLE approach has the
defect that the DROPs will fail for roles that own objects or have
privileges, but perhaps we can improve that later.

Neil Conway 663476919c Minor tweaks for PL/PgSQL documentation. 2005-10-06 20:51:20 +00:00
Tom Lane cb8b6618ce Revise pgstats stuff to fix the problems with not counting accesses
generated by bitmap index scans.  Along the way, simplify and speed up
the code for counting sequential and index scans; it was both confusing
and inefficient to be taking care of that in the per-tuple loops, IMHO.
initdb forced because of internal changes in pg_stat view definitions.
