1bab464eb4 Code review for pg_locks feature. Make shmemoffset of PROCLOCK structs
available (else there's no way to interpret the list links).  Change
pg_locks view to show transaction ID locks separately from ordinary
relation locks.  Avoid showing N duplicate rows when the same lock is
held multiple times (seems unlikely that users care about exact hold
count).  Improve documentation.

9c279355fb Updates to reflect availability of autocommit option. 2002-08-30 22:45:25 +00:00
Tom Lane
26993b2918 AUTOCOMMIT mode is now an available backend GUC variable; setting it
to false provides more SQL-spec-compliant behavior than we had before.
I am not sure that setting it false is actually a good idea yet; there
is a lot of client-side code that will probably be broken by turning
autocommit off.  But it's a start.

Loosely based on a patch by David Van Wie.

e4186762ff Adjust nodeFunctionscan.c to reset transient memory context between calls
to the table function, thus preventing memory leakage accumulation across
calls.  This means that SRFs need to be careful to distinguish permanent
and local storage; adjust code and documentation accordingly.  Patch by
Joe Conway, very minor tweaks by Tom Lane.

e0a77f56e3 Cleanup of SGML 2002-08-27 03:55:17 +00:00
Bruce Momjian
c0ad595386 I attach a little patch to make CLUSTER set and reset the indisclustered
bit on the indexes.

I also attach clusterdb and clusterdb.sgml; both of them are blatant
rips of vacuumdb and vacuumdb.sgml, but get the job done.  Please review
them, as I'm probably making a lot of mistakes with SGML and I can't
compile it here.

vacuumdb itself is not very comfortable to use when the databases have
passwords, because it has to connect once for each table (I can probably
make it connect only once for each database; should I?).  Because of
this I added a mention of PGPASSWORDFILE in the documentation, but I
don't know if that is the correct place for that.

value '-2' is used to indicate a variable-width type whose width is

it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.

ebe1be1321 This patch improves the behavior of FOUND in PL/PgSQL. In Oracle,
FOUND is set whenever a SELECT INTO returns > 0 rows, *or* when an
INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE affects > 0 rows. We implemented the first
part of this behavior, but not the second.

I also improved the documentation on the various situations in which
FOUND can be set (excluding inside FOR loops, which I still need to
think about), and added some regression tests for this behavior.

c828ec8820 Make pg_dump output more portable and more pleasing to look at.
The -n and -N options were removed.  Quoting is now smart enough to
supply quotes if and only if necessary.

Numerical types are now printed without quotes, except in cases of
special values such as NaN.

Boolean values printed as true and false.

Most string literals now do not escape whitespace characters (newlines,
etc.) for portability.

SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION argument is a string literal, to follow SQL.

Made commands output by pg_dump use consistent spacing and indentation.
