Bruce Momjian 62feef6c95 Fix SGML typo in previous patch. 2002-02-17 13:29:00 +00:00
Bruce Momjian bf4507e3af I think it's important that it's actually documented that they can add 
primary keys after the fact!

Also, we need to add regression tests for alter table / add primary key
and alter table / drop constraint.  These shouldn't be added until 7.3
tho
methinks...

Tom Lane 9832a235c5 Modify COPY TO to emit carriage returns and newlines as backslash escapes 
(backslash-r, backslash-n) for protection against newline-conversion
munging.  In future we will also tweak COPY FROM, but this part of the
change should be backwards-compatible.  Per pghackers discussion.
Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
more completely and accurately.

Bruce Momjian 99a3396822 ecpg.sgml manual page updated to ON. 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

When you run 'ecpg --help' you get the following:

          -t   turn on autocommit of transactions

amongst the other options... Shouldn't this be OFF as per the
documentation?

Best regards, Lee.

Tom Lane 636a939fe5 Fix array_out's failure to backslash backslashes, per bug# 524. Also, 
remove brain-dead rule that double quotes are needed if and only if the
datatype is pass-by-reference; neither direction of the implication holds
water.  Instead, examine the actual data string to see if it contains
any characters that force us to quote it.
Add some documentation about quoting of array values, which was previously
explained nowhere AFAICT.
