2004-10-11Fix pg_indexes view so that it shows the index's tablespace not theTom Lane
parent table's tablespace, as per gripe from Michael Kleiser. Choose a more plausible column order for this view and pg_tables. Update documentation of these views, which was missed in original patch.
2004-10-09Adjust configuration-files GUC behavior as per my recent proposal.Tom Lane
The vars are renamed to data_directory, config_file, hba_file, and ident_file, and are guaranteed to be set to accurate absolute paths during postmaster startup. This commit does not yet do anything about hiding path values from non-superusers.

2004-10-08Rename FAQ_MSWIN to FAQ_CYGWIN.Bruce Momjian
2004-10-08Include schema name in pg_restore -l output, per request from Phil Endecott.Tom Lane
2004-10-08Whack some sense into the configuration-file-location patch.Tom Lane
Refactor code into something reasonably understandable, cause use of the feature to not fail in standalone backends or in EXEC_BACKEND case, fix sloppy guc.c table entries, make the documentation minimally usable.
2004-10-08Pull comment down into its own paragraph.Bruce Momjian
2004-10-08Add:Bruce Momjian
* Consider parallel processing a single query This would involve using multiple threads or processes to do optimization, sorting, or execution of single query. The major advantage of such a feature would be to allow multiple CPUs to work together to process a single query.
2004-10-06Suppress psql \s help display for platforms like Win32 that don'tBruce Momjian
typically install witn readline, and throw an error if they try to access it.
2004-10-06please find attached an alternate submission which addresses open itemBruce Momjian
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose. (1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers". it simplifies/changes several makefiles. (2) the documentation reflects the change. (3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash. Fabien Coelho
2004-10-04Remove arithmetic operators on the 1-byte-char datatype, as per proposalsTom Lane
made several times in the past. Add coercion functions between "char" and integer so that a workaround is possible if needed. Initdb forced.
2004-10-04Add CVS URL for docs.Bruce Momjian
2004-10-04Detect overflow in integer arithmetic operators (integer, smallint, andTom Lane
bigint variants). Clean up some inconsistencies in error message wording. Fix scanint8 to allow trailing whitespace in INT64_MIN case. Update int8-exp-three-digits.out, which seems to have been ignored by the last couple of people to modify the int8 regression test, and remove int8-exp-three-digits-win32.out which is thereby exposed as redundant.
2004-10-04Fix error in setseed() docs: "int32" is not a (SQL) type, but "integer" is.Neil Conway
2004-10-04Document that the semicolon following the final "END" in a function bodyNeil Conway
is optional.
2004-10-02Update Farsi FAQ in ASCII.Bruce Momjian
2004-10-01Don't assume PQdb() will return a valid result from a failed connection.Tom Lane
2004-10-01Code review for NOWAIT patch: downgrade NOWAIT from fully reserved keywordTom Lane
to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect that case cleanly.
2004-10-01Remove more traces of libpgtcl from the source tree. Also, make someNeil Conway
semi-related SGML cleanup. Original patch from ljb220@mindspring.com, additional cleanup by Neil Conway.
2004-09-30Add a note suggesting that users should use the newer version of pg_dumpNeil Conway
to perform upgrades, and cleanup some nearby text. Patch from Robert Treat, editorializing by Neil Conway.
