40853dd445 Allow pg_dumpall to work with previous releases again. Don't pass the -c
option down to pg_dump, where it's useless, and clarify the meaning of -c
in the documentation.

38e444aae6 Make sure the pg_dump tar archiver can handle members larger than 2 GB, but
does not create members larger than allowed by the tar format.  Also, fix
the generation of the tar header to conform to POSIX.

d61de58906 Arrange for the default permissions on a database to allow temp table
creation to world, but disallow temp table creation in template1.  Per
latest round of pghackers discussion.
I did not force initdb, but the permissions lockdown on template1 will
not take effect unless you do one (or manually REVOKE TEMP ON DATABASE template1 FROM public).

8c8aa53953 pg_on_connection_loss command for libpgtcl. Patch from
Gerhard Hintermayer, revised and documented by Tom Lane.

This patch also fixes a 'must fix' bug: libpgtcl's LISTEN/NOTIFY
support was broken by the recent changes to the PGnotify structure.
Guess that change wasn't quite so safe as we thought.

8f60f43f2e Department of second thoughts: make checks for replacing a view slightly
more flexible, and improve the error reporting.  Also, add documentation
for REPLACE RULE/VIEW.

81efc82608 This patch fixes a minor inaccuracy in the documentation: NOT NULL is
not synonymous with CHECK (xxx IS NOT NULL) -- for example, consider
ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY, which checks for 'NOT NULL', not a check
constraint.

a12b4e279b I checked all the previous string handling errors and most of them were
already fixed by You. However there were a few left and attached patch
should fix the rest of them.

I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug
ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all
the other code does.

I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing
snprintf(buf, 2 * BUFSIZE, ... style lines to
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array.

e82bcba5e0 Here's a doc patch for the new string functions recently committed --
replace, split, and to_hex. The patch also moves encode and decode into
alphabetical order (since everything else in the table was).

c7a165adc6 Code review for HeapTupleHeader changes. Add version number to page headers
(overlaying low byte of page size) and add HEAP_HASOID bit to t_infomask,
per earlier discussion.  Simplify scheme for overlaying fields in tuple
header (no need for cmax to live in more than one place).  Don't try to
clear infomask status bits in tqual.c --- not safe to do it there.  Don't
try to force output table of a SELECT INTO to have OIDs, either.  Get rid
of unnecessarily complex three-state scheme for TupleDesc.tdhasoids, which
has already caused one recent failure.  Improve documentation.

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.

e2d156fa6e Add attisinherited column to pg_attribute; use it to guard against
column additions, deletions, and renames that would let a child table
get out of sync with its parent.  Patch by Alvaro Herrera, with some
kibitzing by Tom Lane.

that the functionality is available to anyone via ReturnSetInfo, rather
than hard-wiring it to PL/pgSQL.

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.

99fd5cbd41 FOUND patch was a bit over-enthusiastic: SQL commands that are not
INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE shouldn't change FOUND.  IMHO anyway.
Also, try to make documentation a little clearer.

formatting (\timing) works correctly.  Change "Total time" to "Time"
since there is nothing that "total" refers to.  Remove non-multibyte
code.
