Tom Lane 31cc047d94 BDST should be "British double SUMMER time", not Standard time. 
Per John Smith.

Tom Lane 361f354109 Make sure --with-pgport option propagates into postgresql.conf. 
Per gripe from Josh Berkus.

Tom Lane 39475990e0 Move info about psql console code page issues out of install-win32.sgml, 
where it doesn't belong, and put it in the psql reference page.

Tom Lane 370f90970d Cause pg_hba.conf file inclusion (@file stuff) to behave as documented, 
that is, files are sought in the same directory as the referencing file.
Also allow absolute paths in @file constructs.  Improve documentation
to actually say what is allowed in an included file.

Bruce Momjian 8a10119bf3 Update FAQ. 2004-12-24 17:13:51 +00:00
Tom Lane f0c08ae7c9 Remove 'optimization' to skip resolve_symlinks() when the found 
executable file isn't itself a symlink.  We still need to run the
algorithm so that any directory symlinks in the path to the
executable are replaced by a true path.  Noticed this on seeing
pg_config give me a completely wrong answer for --pkglibdir when
I called it through a symlink to the installation bindir.

Bruce Momjian bad4897d9f Update FAQ with new URL's for site. 2004-12-24 16:02:36 +00:00
Tom Lane 9405e14e00 Switch order of WHERE clauses in tab completion queries, as suggested 
by Rod Taylor.  The foo_is_visible() functions are relatively slow and
so it pays to check them after checking the name pattern match.

Tom Lane 0add759825 More minor updates and copy-editing. 2004-12-23 23:07:38 +00:00
Tom Lane 08457504f0 Avoid memory leakage during VACUUM FULL when an index expression or 
index predicate uses temporary memory for evaluation.  Per example
from Jean-Gerard Pailloncy.
 2004-12-23 22:42:15 +00:00
Bruce Momjian f9a134b6e4 Add missing ecpg prototype for newly added functions. 2004-12-23 13:19:17 +00:00
Michael Meskes f0299325e4 Added PGTYPEStimestamp_add_interval written by Dave Cramer. 
Fixed parsing of defines to make sure they used more than once.

Tom Lane f8ffb60492 A small pass of docs review and copy-editing. 2004-12-23 05:37:40 +00:00
Tom Lane 3621657a61 Use float8-small-is-zero for netbsd on m68k, per Rémi Zara. 2004-12-23 03:49:40 +00:00
Tom Lane 63a90720b4 Remove extra parenthesis. 2004-12-23 00:03:24 +00:00
Tom Lane bfa5f30481 Awhile back I added some code to StartupCLOG() to forcibly zero out 
the remainder of the current clog page during system startup.  While
this was a good idea, it turns out the code fails if nextXid is
exactly at a page boundary, because we won't have created the "current"
clog page yet in that case.  Since the page will be correctly zeroed
when we execute the first transaction on it, the solution is just to
do nothing when exactly at a page boundary.  Per trouble report from
Dave Hartwig.
 2004-12-22 18:45:49 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 766b0bbb4d Add mention that pg_ctl will return an accurate exit code when waiting 
for startup or shutdown.  We have always done this but it wasn't documented.
 2004-12-22 02:17:15 +00:00
Tom Lane 71d21577de Add '-Wl,' prefix to linker switches consistently. Remove shlib_symbolic 
macros, which aren't used anywhere and haven't been for some time.
 2004-12-21 18:47:42 +00:00
Tom Lane 96b42de9a8 exec_eval_simple_expr() needs to do CommandCounterIncrement() not just 
GetTransactionSnapshot() to ensure ActiveSnapshot advances properly.
Sigh.  Extend regression test so it reveals this error too.
 2004-12-21 18:33:36 +00:00
Bruce Momjian c21c658b36 Add error checking for starting a win32 service using pg_ctl. 2004-12-21 17:58:30 +00:00

Tom Lane f0cbfcd399 Patch to make libpq.rc be a built-for-distribution file was a few 
bricks shy of a load.

Bruce Momjian bbb2e21e14 I was recently surprised to find that EXTRACT's day of the week 
numbering is different than TO_CHAR's ditto. EXTRACT starts at 0==Sunday
while TO_CHAR starts at 1==Sunday.

A suggestion for two documentation notes is attached as a patch to
current CVS HEAD.

Bruce Momjian 93b808e9c9 Mention libpq.rc.in is now the file to update for releases. 2004-12-20 21:00:48 +00:00
Tom Lane 6cd2c9f752 Ensure that 'disabling statistics collector' is logged in all failure 
paths of pgstat_init.  Responds to confusion exhibited by Christoph Haller.

Tom Lane ed06824978 Add support for Latin9 encoding in to_ascii(). Jaime Casanova 2004-12-20 19:00:37 +00:00
Tom Lane b5ae0d69da Mark the TimeZone parameter as GUC_REPORT, so that JDBC can find out 
when it changes.  Per request from Kris Jurka.

Tom Lane 80855ba8ca In pipe_read_line Windows code, loop to ensure we get a whole line 
from the child process; fixes observed problems when the returned
version number is '8.0.0' rather than '8.0.0rc1'.  Magnus Hagander
 2004-12-20 17:40:59 +00:00
Tom Lane da59a70c09 Remove direct inclusions of <com_err.h> as well as configure test for 
its presence.  This amounts to desupporting Kerberos 5 releases 1.0.*,
which is small loss, and simplifies use of our Kerberos code on platforms
with Red-Hat-style include file layouts.  Per gripe from John Gray and
followup discussion.

Tom Lane 59bffa3707 Adjust pg_resetxlog to handle 8.0 WAL file names properly. 2004-12-20 01:42:11 +00:00

Tom Lane e184663b24 plpgsql's exec_eval_simple_expr() now has to take responsibility for 
advancing ActiveSnapshot when we are inside a volatile function.
Per example from Gaetano Mendola.  Add a regression test to catch
similar problems in future.
