ed5eb09cce Adds \du documentation line for \? in psqls help.c
Thought I saw a patch earlier converting docs to use []s, so this uses
them.

8fdc7814d0 Please, apply attached patch for contrib/tsearch to 7.2.1 and current
CVS. It  fix english stemmer's problem with ending words like
'technology'.

We have found one more bug in english stemmer. The bug is with
'irregular'  english words like 'skies' -> 'sky'. Please, apply attached
cumulative patch to  7.2.1 and current CVS instead previous one.

Thank to Thomas T. Thai <tom@minnesota.com> for hard testing. This kind
of bug  has significance only for dump/reload database and viewing, but
searching/indexing works right.

66cd6a0fb2 Currently, contrib/oid2name doesn't bother to free() the memory that it
malloc()'s. This isn't too serious (because oid2name is a short-lived
utility, so the memory will soon be returned to the OS on process
termination), but I still think it's poor style.

This patch changes oid2name so that it allocates memory on the stack
where possible and free()s the remaining heap-allocated memory. The
patch also fixes a typo a comment and adds 'const' qualifiers to a few
'char *' function parameters.

03194432de I attach a version of my toast-slicing patch, against current CVS
(current as of a few hours ago.)

This patch:

1. Adds PG_GETARG_xxx_P_SLICE() macros and associated support routines.

2. Adds routines in src/backend/access/tuptoaster.c for fetching only
necessary chunks of a toasted value. (Modelled on latest changes to
assume chunks are returned in order).

3. Amends text_substr and bytea_substr to use new methods. It now
handles multibyte cases -and should still lead to a performance
improvement in the multibyte case where the substring is near the
beginning of the string.

4. Added new command: ALTER TABLE tabname ALTER COLUMN colname SET
STORAGE {PLAIN | EXTERNAL | EXTENDED | MAIN} to parser and documented in
alter-table.sgml. (NB I used ColId as the item type for the storage
mode string, rather than a new production - I hope this makes sense!).
All this does is sets attstorage for the specified column.

4. AlterTableAlterColumnStatistics is now AlterTableAlterColumnFlags and
handles both statistics and storage (it uses the subtype code to
distinguish). The previous version of my patch also re-arranged other
code in backend/commands/command.c but I have dropped that from this
patch.(I plan to return to it separately).

5. Documented new macros (and also the PG_GETARG_xxx_P_COPY macros) in
xfunc.sgml. ref/alter_table.sgml also contains documentation for ALTER
COLUMN SET STORAGE.

276fc7ce82 I was digging through the GiST code, and figured I'd fix up some of the
"bad smell" in that code. Stuff like function parameters that aren't
used, typos in the comments, comparison between signed and unsigned
ints, etc.

Attached is a pretty trivial patch; it compiles, but beyond that
completely untested. Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for
7.3.

33766e680d Here's a patch against 7.1.3 that fixes a problem with sending larger
queries over non-blocking connections with libpq. "Larger" here
basically means that it doesn't fit into the output buffer.

The basic strategy is to fix pqFlush and pqPutBytes.

The problem with pqFlush as it stands now is that it returns EOF when an
error occurs or when not all data could be sent. The latter case is
clearly not an error for a non-blocking connection but the caller can't
distringuish it from an error very well.

The first part of the fix is therefore to fix pqFlush. This is done by
to renaming it to pqSendSome which only differs from pqFlush in its
return values to allow the caller to make the above distinction and a
new pqFlush which is implemented in terms of pqSendSome and behaves
exactly like the old pqFlush.

The second part of the fix modifies pqPutBytes to use pqSendSome instead
of pqFlush and to either send all the data or if not all data can be
sent on a non-blocking connection to at least put all data into the
output buffer, enlarging it if necessary. The callers of pqPutBytes
don't have to be changed because from their point of view pqPutBytes
behaves like before. It either succeeds in queueing all output data or
fails with an error.

I've also added a new API function PQsendSome which analogously to
PQflush just calls pqSendSome. Programs using non-blocking queries
should use this new function. The main difference is that this function
will have to be called repeatedly (calling select() properly in between)
until all data has been written.

AFAICT, the code in CVS HEAD hasn't changed with respect to non-blocking
queries and this fix should work there, too, but I haven't tested that
yet.

944671820f Previous patch to mark UNION outputs with common typmod (if any) breaks
three-or-more-way UNIONs, as per example from Josh Berkus.  Cause is a
fragile assumption that one tlist's entries will exactly match another.
Restructure code to make that assumption a little less fragile.

8f83590aa1 Patch from Ryouichi Matsuda
An attached patch corrects problem of this bug and fractional second.


 The handling of time zone was as follows:

   (a) with time zone
       using  SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z")
   (b) without time zone
       using  SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")


 About problem of fractional second,
 Fractional second was changed from milli-second to nano-second

26ac217173 Catcaches can now store negative entries as well as positive ones, to
speed up repetitive failed searches; per pghackers discussion in late
January.  inval.c logic substantially simplified, since we can now treat
inserts and deletes alike as far as inval events are concerned.  Some
repair work needed in heap_create_with_catalog, which turns out to have
been doing CommandCounterIncrement at a point where the new relation has
non-self-consistent catalog entries.  With the new inval code, that
resulted in assert failures during a relcache entry rebuild.

a033daf566 Commit to match discussed elog() changes. Only update is that LOG is
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages.  Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
        DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
