ae94f10397 Update documentation that non-super users can now do ALTER OWNER. 2005-08-22 21:32:01 +00:00

83357da684 Cause ALTER INDEX OWNER to generate a warning and do nothing, rather than
erroring out as it has done for the last couple weeks.  Document that this
form is now ignored because indexes can't usefully have different owners
from their parent tables.  Fix pg_dump to not generate ALTER OWNER commands
for indexes.

6fcaaf29da Minor GUC cleanups: document krb_server_hostname and custom_variable_classes
in postgresql.conf.sample, mark custom_variable_classes as SIGHUP not
POSTMASTER to agree with the documentation (I can't see a reason it has
to be POSTMASTER so I think the docs are right).

84ccf7212c Fix up tab completion for ROLEs and add some more completion logic for
other stuff; change \du and \dg to be role-aware (Stefan Kaltenbrunner).
Also make tab completion fetch the list of GUC variables from pg_settings
instead of having a hard-wired copy of the list (Tom Lane).

2af9a44fa9 Make pg_stat_file() use OUT parameters so that the user doesn't have to
remember the output parameter set for himself.  It's a bit of a kluge
but fixing array_in to work in bootstrap mode looks worse.
I removed the separate pg_file_length() function, as it no longer has any
real notational advantage --- you can write (pg_stat_file(...)).length.

721e53785d Solve the problem of OID collisions by probing for duplicate OIDs
whenever we generate a new OID.  This prevents occasional duplicate-OID
errors that can otherwise occur once the OID counter has wrapped around.
Duplicate relfilenode values are also checked for when creating new
physical files.  Per my recent proposal.

d90c531188 Autovacuum loose end mop-up. Provide autovacuum-specific vacuum cost
delay and limit, both as global GUCs and as table-specific entries in
pg_autovacuum.  stats_reset_on_server_start is now OFF by default,
but a reset is forced if we did WAL replay.  XID-wrap vacuums do not
ANALYZE, but do FREEZE if it's a template database.  Alvaro Herrera

33f5bf9700 ALTER TABLE OWNER must change the ownership of the table's rowtype too.
This was not especially critical before, but it is now that we track
ownership dependencies --- the dependency for the rowtype *must* shift
to the new owner.  Spotted by Bernd Helmle.
Also fix a problem introduced by recent change to allow non-superusers
to do ALTER OWNER in some cases: if the table had a toast table, ALTER
OWNER failed *even for superusers*, because the test being applied would
conclude that the new would-be owner had no create rights on pg_toast.
A side-effect of the fix is to disallow changing the ownership of indexes
or toast tables separately from their parent table, which seems a good
idea on the whole.
