85801ed9b8 Attached is a small patch for the Reference Manual which adds
information about nulls and sort order.

This is based on information obtained from Peter Eisentraut and
Tom Lane on pgsql-hackers.

Please check my English and Docbook markup, as both are a second
language to me.

1d3a47af0c Attached patch for unconditional enabling of pltcl-unknown support.
Enabling this feature adds very light overhead of 1 select from pg_class on
first using of pl/tcl in backend if unknown suppport is really unused.
But pl/tcl with this support has very improved functionality.

Patch includes changes to documentation.

f426465ba9 Add a new function "pg_client_encoding" which returns the current client
side encoding name. This is necessary for client API's such as JDBC
to perform correct encoding conversions. See my email "[HACKERS]
pg_client_encoding" 10 Sep 2001.

f9e6e27c87 Break transformCreateStmt() into multiple routines and make
transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of
duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code.
Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now,
and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses
actually fire now.  ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo
having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.

2034086ed1 Correct some errors in plpgsql examples, as reported by Junichi Kobayasi. 2001-10-09 04:55:11 +00:00
Tom Lane
0b3bca6c6f Change plpgsql to depend on main parser's type-declaration grammar,
rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type
declaration looks like.  This is necessary now to ensure that plpgsql
will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp'
does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.
