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.

a583675108 Allow optional SAVEPOINT keyword in RELEASE and ROLLBACK TO, for greater

35a5fb6863 Move expanded discussion of inheritance's limitations out of tutorial
and into ddl.sgml.  Rewrite for more completeness and (hopefully)
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 ...
2004-08-08 00:50:58 +00:00
