Tom Lane d08741eab5 Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

Bruce Momjian 87070ccc13 It looks Ok, but it has one unnecessary step. There is no need to do the "mv
privkey.pem cert.pem.pw" if you just use "privkey.pem" in the following
openssl command (e.g. openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out cert.pem".
But there is nothing wrong with it as it is now, as far as I can see.

Bruce Momjian d128852358 In the Programmer's Guide, the sample code for accessing large objects
from libpq has two functions with memory leaks.

The functions pickout() and overwrite() malloc space for buf which is
never freed.

See
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/programmer/largeobjects3207.htm

This problem is also in the 6.5 docs at
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/6.5/programmer/x3184.htm

Bruce Momjian df389d161d Approaching the current documentation from a position of ignorance, I
find it ambiguous.  I propose something along the lines of the
following patch to clarify it.  Thanks.

(Alternatively, perhaps the code could maintain a count of nested
calls to SPI_connect/SPI_finish.  But I didn't try to write that
patch.)

and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause

of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze().  See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just
after a SET TIMEZONE command.  gram.y really has to be an invariant
transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that
can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.

Peter Eisentraut de3379503a Remove unused file (the information is already contained elsewhere). 2000-12-23 11:10:55 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 7558da669f Make use of <email> tag for marking up email addresses. 2000-12-22 21:51:58 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 387d43113c Avoid using the terms 'installation', 'site', or 'instance' when referring
to the thing you get from running initdb.  That's called a database cluster
(per SQL).
2000-12-22 19:31:56 +00:00

Tom Lane f4eef66741 Fix broken markup. 2000-12-22 18:06:46 +00:00
Tom Lane 61784c54b5 Change default output formatting for CIDR to be unabbreviated, per
recommendation from Paul Vixie.  Add a new abbrev() function to produce
abbreviated format as text.  No forced initdb, but new function is not
available unless you do an initdb or add the pg_proc row manually.
2000-12-22 18:00:24 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut b2145e9365 Get rid of the little "v"s in front of version numbers, substituting the
full word "version" where appropriate.
