Add missing completions for:
- ALTER SEQUENCE name OWNER TO
- ALTER TYPE name RENAME TO
- ALTER VIEW name ALTER COLUMN
- ALTER VIEW name OWNER TO
- ALTER VIEW name SET SCHEMA
Fix wrong completions for:
- ALTER FUNCTION/AGGREGATE name (arguments) ...
"(arguments)" has been ignored.
- ALTER ... SET SCHEMA
"SCHEMA" has been considered as a variable name.
is changed to match the hard-wired default. This avoids accumulating useless
catalog entries, and also provides a path for dropping the owning role without
using DROP OWNED BY. Per yesterday's complaint from Jaime Casanova, the
need to use DROP OWNED BY for that is less than obvious, so providing this
alternative method might save some user frustration.
be added during GRANT and can only be removed during REVOKE; and fix its
callers to not lie to it about the existing set of dependencies when
instantiating a formerly-default ACL. The previous coding accidentally failed
to malfunction so long as default ACLs contain only references to the object's
owning role, because that role is ignored by updateAclDependencies. However
this is obviously pretty fragile, as well as being an undocumented assumption.
The new coding is a few lines longer but IMO much clearer.
Those options do nothing right now, but might be wanted later, and in
any case it's confusing for the command to be interpreted as \dd if
anything is appended. Per Jaime Casanova.
The endterm attribute is mainly useful when the toolchain does not support
automatic link target text generation for a particular situation. In the
past, this was required by the man page tools for all reference page links,
but that is no longer the case, and it now actually gets in the way of
proper automatic link text generation. The only remaining use cases are
currently xrefs to refsects.
This allows us to see what mode the server is in before it starts to
perform actions that can block or hang. Otherwise server messages
may not appear until after messages that say FATAL the database
server is starting up.
Windows, thanks to a feature in CRT called Parameter Validation.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is the oldest version supported on Windows. In
8.2 and 8.3 also backpatch the earlier change to use DEVNULL instead of
NULL_DEV #define for a /dev/null-like device. NULL_DEV was hard-coded to
"/dev/null" regardless of platform, which didn't work on Windows, while
DEVNULL works on all platforms. Restarting syslogger didn't work on
Windows on versions 8.3 and below because of that.
The error message now makes explicit reference to the GUC that must be changed
to fix the problem, using wording suggested by Tom Lane. Along the way,
rename the GUC from MaxWalSenders to max_wal_senders for consistency and
grep-ability.
loop in standby mode, trying to restore from archive, pg_xlog and
streaming.
Move sections around to make the high availability chapter more
coherent: the most prominent part is now a "Log-Shipping Standby Servers"
section that describes what a standby server is (like the old
"Warm Standby Servers for High Availability" section), and how to
set up a warm standby server, including streaming replication, using the
built-in standby mode. The pg_standby method is desribed in another
section called "Alternative method for log shipping", with the added
caveat that it doesn't work with streaming replication.
constraint exclusion on an inheritance set that is the target of an UPDATE
or DELETE query. Per gripe from Marc Cousin. Back-patch to 8.4 where
the feature was introduced.
