793dd8e729 Add discussion and example about predicate locking and why "serializable" 
mode isn't really serializable.  I had thought this was covered already
in our docs, but I sure can't find it.

7f7e8cc3f2 Allow commas in BEGIN, START TRANSACTION, and SET TRANSACTION, as required 
by the SQL standard.  For backwards compatibility, however, continue to
accept the syntax without.  Minor editorialization in the reference pages
for these commands, too.

f79fbb2bec Add PQserverVersion() to libpq to provide more-convenient access to 
the server version number.  This commit also removes bogus DOS line
endings from libpqddll.def.

clarity.

33bf242a8a Make listen_addresses be a comma-separated list instead of a space-separated 
list.  More consistent with our other list-containing GUC variables.

da8325fa5c Updated release notes for recent array syntax changes. 2004-08-08 05:46:40 +00:00

cb50ee286d Tighened up syntax checking of array input processing considerably. Junk that 
was previously allowed in odd places with odd results now causes an ERROR.
Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace -- trailing whitespace is
now ignored as well as leading whitespace (which has always been ignored).

Documentation updated to reflect change in whitespace handling. Also some
refactoring to what I believe is a more sensible order of several paragraphs.

6c3561b9e4 Minor editorialization on example --- I think that the use of dollar 
quoting in this case is just needless obscurantism.

ff8d68df5c Included is an example of using savepoints in a non-trivial example. 
Giving examples in the SQL command reference is hard because we don't
have conditionals at the SQL level.

9b3caebb0a Update plpgsql documentation for 8.0 (mostly, make use of named 
function parameters and dollar quoting in examples; do some polishing
of the existing dollar-quoting docs).  The 'how to port from Oracle'
section is looking pretty respectable these days ...

bdf8ef6925 Create a built-in log rotation program, so that we no longer have to 
recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program.  Additional
benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than
externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and
restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen
often).
Andreas Pflug, some rework by Tom Lane.

0e13d627be Require that array literals produce "rectangular" arrays, i.e. all the 
subarrays of a given dimension have the same number of elements/subarrays.

Also repair a longstanding undocumented (as far as I can see) ability to
explicitly set array bounds in the array literal syntax. It now can
deal properly with negative array indicies. Modify array_out so that
arrays with non-standard lower bounds (i.e. not 1) are output with
the expicit dimension syntax. This fixes a longstanding issue whereby
arrays with non-default lower bounds had them changed to default
after a dump/reload cycle.

Modify regression tests and docs to suit, and add some minimal
documentation regarding the explicit dimension syntax.

58c41712d5 Add functions pg_start_backup, pg_stop_backup to create backup label 
and history files as per recent discussion.  While at it, remove
pg_terminate_backend, since we have decided we do not have time during
this release cycle to address the reliability concerns it creates.
Split the 'Miscellaneous Functions' documentation section into
'System Information Functions' and 'System Administration Functions',
which hopefully will draw the eyes of those looking for such things.
