Tom Lane 18661f282b Revert badly-broken patch to dump comments on composite-type columns. 2004-08-06 18:18:42 +00:00
Bruce Momjian d6e05afc3d I have noticed that the latex format in psql has some bugs:
o "_" is not escaped, and causes TeX to abort, thinking it's a
  subscript outside of maths mode.  Most of my table and field names
  use underscores, so this is a really nasty one.
o The column count is calculated using the contents of opt_align. But
  opt_align has one extra element, and so it's always one too many.  I
  changed it to count the column headings, like all the other output
  formats.  There may be a bug in computing opt_align that this patch
  does not address, but I'm not yet familiar enough with the psql
  source to fix this as well.
o  The line drawing rules for each border setting (0-3) and expanded
  mode didn't always match the documented behaviour and what other
  formats (e.g. aligned) did.  I made it as conformant as possible,
  and also tidied the alignment of the first line of the footer, which
  was incorrectly indented.

Tom Lane 7f018ac1c2 Use one, not zero, as the default lower bound for arrays of AclItems.
This avoids changing the displayed appearance of ACL columns now that
array_out decorates its output with bounds information when the lower
bound isn't one.  Per gripe from Gaetano Mendola.  Note that I did not
force initdb for this, although any database initdb'd in the last
couple of days is going to have some problems.

Bruce Momjian 0307c09cf5 Rename vacuum_cost_naptime to vacuum_cost_delay, with agreement from Jan. 2004-08-06 04:15:09 +00:00
Tom Lane 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.

Joe Conway 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.

Dennis Bjorklund dcbb5b9d2d Use gettext_noop() to mark strings. errmsg() perform the
real gettext() later on, so it was called twice before.

Tom Lane 55dc7faea2 Fix silly thinko in ALTER COLUMN TYPE. Check for finding expected
dependency was looking at wrong columns and so would always fail.
Was not exposed by regression tests because we are only testing cases
involving built-in (pinned) types and so no actual dependency entry
exists to be removed.

Tom Lane 576856b698 Dump comments on columns of composite types.
Instead of putting all the OWNER TO commands at the end, it dumps then
after each object.  This is WAY more readable and nice.  ACLs are still
at the end.

Tom Lane 59ff484894 Preliminary documentation for PITR. 2004-08-03 23:42:59 +00:00
Tom Lane 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.

Tom Lane 946fdc000e Fix not-quite-right Assertion. Did not work at all in extended-query
mode (per complaint from Kris Jurka) and it was only by chance that it
didn't fail in simple-query mode.  A COMMIT or ROLLBACK has to be
executed by a portal, therefore it's wrong to suppose that there aren't
any live portals at CleanupTransaction time.

Tom Lane 9aa30e7109 Actually, there's no need to use pg_strcasecmp for checking exception
names, because the name we got from the lexer is already downcased.
Just store the table in lower case and use strcmp ...

Tom Lane d529989149 While perusing SQL92 I realized that we are delivering the wrong SQLSTATE
error code for string-too-long errors.  It should be STRING_DATA_RIGHT_TRUNCATION
not STRING_DATA_LENGTH_MISMATCH.  The latter probably should only be
applied to cases where a string must be exactly so many bits --- there are
no cases at all where it applies to character strings, only bit strings.
