6bec963aa5 Re-add FAQ item: 
<H3 id="item4.19">4.19) Why do I get "relation with OID #####
    does not exist" errors when accessing temporary tables in PL/PgSQL
    functions?</H3>

6efae5bf2a Another round of editorialization on the text search documentation. 
Notably, standardize on using "token" for the strings output by a parser,
while "lexeme" is reserved for the normalized strings produced by a
dictionary.

4b21d1f09b Remove obsolete examples of add-on parsers and dictionary templates; 
these are more easily and usefully maintained as contrib modules.
Various other wordsmithing, markup improvement, etc.

18e3fcc31e Migrate the former contrib/txid module into core. This will make it easier 
for Slony and Skytools to depend on it.  Per discussion.

2a997a7065 A few improvements to analyze and vacuum sections in documentation: add "see 
also" entries for autovacuum in analyze and vacuum reference pages, and
enhance usage of cross-references in the maintenance page.

2816b2cdd2 Clean up the doc makefile for draft HTML generation. It no longer works 
to do "make DRAFT=Y html"; you need to use "make draft" (which was also
supported previously).

77b0f459c8 First pass at SGML-ifying the 8.3 release notes. Plenty of improvements 
left to made, but this is a start.
 2007-10-04 03:53:58 +00:00
Tom Lane
0a04109d60 Second pass at 8.3 release notes: put items in a bit more logical order 
where possible, add overview and incompatibilities lists, minor cleanups.
The SGML-ification still leaves much to be desired.

6d673a63ed First cut at 8.3 release notes. SGML markup is nonexistent, and 
the 'overview' and 'incompatibilities' summary lists remain to be
written.  But I think all the raw info is there (indeed maybe too
verbose).

27b8922221 Add an extra header byte to TOAST-pointer datums to represent their size 
explicitly.  This means a TOAST pointer takes 18 bytes instead of 17 --- still
smaller than in 8.2 --- which seems a good tradeoff to ensure we won't have
painted ourselves into a corner if we want to support multiple types of TOAST
pointer later on.  Per discussion with Greg Stark.

b46bd55a6c Make archive recovery always start a new timeline, rather than only when a 
recovery stop time was used.  This avoids a corner-case risk of trying to
overwrite an existing archived copy of the last WAL segment, and seems
simpler and cleaner all around than the original definition.  Per example
from Jon Colverson and subsequent analysis by Simon.

70b9b9b788 Change initdb and CREATE DATABASE to actively reject attempts to create 
databases with encodings that are incompatible with the server's LC_CTYPE
locale, when we can determine that (which we can on most modern platforms,
I believe).  C/POSIX locale is compatible with all encodings, of course,
so there is still some usefulness to CREATE DATABASE's ENCODING option,
but this will insulate us against all sorts of recurring complaints
caused by mismatched settings.

I moved initdb's existing LC_CTYPE-to-encoding mapping knowledge into
a new src/port/ file so it could be shared by CREATE DATABASE.
