6c3561b9e4 Minor editorialization on example --- I think that the use of dollar
quoting in this case is just needless obscurantism.

ff8d68df5c Included is an example of using savepoints in a non-trivial example.
Giving examples in the SQL command reference is hard because we don't
have conditionals at the SQL level.

9b3caebb0a Update plpgsql documentation for 8.0 (mostly, make use of named
function parameters and dollar quoting in examples; do some polishing
of the existing dollar-quoting docs).  The 'how to port from Oracle'
section is looking pretty respectable these days ...

53e8bec717 The attached patch implements a symlink for win32 using junctions, and
uses that for win32 tablespaces.

b2b5656362 Don't try to rewrite NEW references in a utility statement in a rule.
There won't be any, and in fact there won't even be an RTE for NEW,
which was leading to a core dump in CVS tip.  7.4 and earlier manage
not to crash when applying ResolveNew in this scenario, but I think
it was just good fortune that they didn't.  Per report from
Bernd Helmle.

18661f282b Revert badly-broken patch to dump comments on composite-type columns. 2004-08-06 18:18:42 +00:00
Bruce Momjian
d6e05afc3d I have noticed that the latex format in psql has some bugs:
o "_" is not escaped, and causes TeX to abort, thinking it's a
  subscript outside of maths mode.  Most of my table and field names
  use underscores, so this is a really nasty one.
o The column count is calculated using the contents of opt_align. But
  opt_align has one extra element, and so it's always one too many.  I
  changed it to count the column headings, like all the other output
  formats.  There may be a bug in computing opt_align that this patch
  does not address, but I'm not yet familiar enough with the psql
  source to fix this as well.
o  The line drawing rules for each border setting (0-3) and expanded
  mode didn't always match the documented behaviour and what other
  formats (e.g. aligned) did.  I made it as conformant as possible,
  and also tidied the alignment of the first line of the footer, which
  was incorrectly indented.

7f018ac1c2 Use one, not zero, as the default lower bound for arrays of AclItems.
This avoids changing the displayed appearance of ACL columns now that
array_out decorates its output with bounds information when the lower
bound isn't one.  Per gripe from Gaetano Mendola.  Note that I did not
force initdb for this, although any database initdb'd in the last
couple of days is going to have some problems.

bdf8ef6925 Create a built-in log rotation program, so that we no longer have to
recommend that people go get Apache's rotatelogs program.  Additional
benefits are that configuration is done through GUC, rather than
externally, and that the postmaster can monitor the log rotator and
restart it after failure (though we certainly hope that won't happen
often).
Andreas Pflug, some rework by Tom Lane.

0e13d627be Require that array literals produce "rectangular" arrays, i.e. all the
subarrays of a given dimension have the same number of elements/subarrays.

Also repair a longstanding undocumented (as far as I can see) ability to
explicitly set array bounds in the array literal syntax. It now can
deal properly with negative array indicies. Modify array_out so that
arrays with non-standard lower bounds (i.e. not 1) are output with
the expicit dimension syntax. This fixes a longstanding issue whereby
arrays with non-default lower bounds had them changed to default
after a dump/reload cycle.

Modify regression tests and docs to suit, and add some minimal
documentation regarding the explicit dimension syntax.

55dc7faea2 Fix silly thinko in ALTER COLUMN TYPE. Check for finding expected
dependency was looking at wrong columns and so would always fail.
Was not exposed by regression tests because we are only testing cases
involving built-in (pinned) types and so no actual dependency entry
exists to be removed.

576856b698 Dump comments on columns of composite types.
Instead of putting all the OWNER TO commands at the end, it dumps then
after each object.  This is WAY more readable and nice.  ACLs are still
at the end.
