42013caf64 Update Japanese FAQ, from Jun Kuwamura 2003-09-25 02:27:54 +00:00

a56a016ceb Repair some REINDEX problems per recent discussions. The relcache is
now able to cope with assigning new relfilenode values to nailed-in-cache
indexes, so they can be reindexed using the fully crash-safe method.  This
leaves only shared system indexes as special cases.  Remove the 'index
deactivation' code, since it provides no useful protection in the shared-
index case.  Require reindexing of shared indexes to be done in standalone
mode, but remove other restrictions on REINDEX.  -P (IgnoreSystemIndexes)
now prevents using indexes for lookups, but does not disable index updates.
It is therefore safe to allow from PGOPTIONS.  Upshot: reindexing system catalogs
can be done without a standalone backend for all cases except
shared catalogs.

6767cebc6f pg_dump/pg_restore now always use SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION, not \connect,
to control object ownership.  The use-set-session-authorization and
no-reconnect switches are obsolete (still accepted on the command line,
but they don't do anything).  This is a precursor to fixing handling
of CREATE SCHEMA, which will be a separate commit.

a13b018530 Disallow foreign-key references from temp tables to permanent tables.
Per recent discussion, this does not work because other backends can't
reliably see tuples in a temp table and so cannot run the RI checks
correctly.  Seems better to disallow this case than go back to accessing
temp tables through shared buffers.  Also, disallow FK references to
ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS tables.  We already caught this problem for normal
TRUNCATE, but the path used by ON COMMIT didn't check.

c346ca8648 When I sent in the sslmode patch I forgot to update the
comments/examples in pg_hba.conf. This patch remedies that, adds a brief
explanation of the connection types, and adds a missing period in the
docs.

6de93c0529 Update preface.
Use question marks rather than brackets to delimit optional elements in
Tcl synopses.

Fix stylesheet misfeature leading to excessively long cross-reference text
when linking to a different "part".

Remove <body> attributes -- CSS stylesheets should handle that.

Improve bibliography formatting.

Add fast-forward links for more convenient navigation.

48beecda7c Remove geqo_random_seed parameter. Having geqo reset the global random()
sequence every time it's called is bogus --- it interferes with user
control over the seed, and actually decreases randomness overall
(because a seed based on time(NULL) is pretty predictable).  If you really
want a reproducible result from geqo, do 'set seed = 0' before planning
a query.
