e2d6898827 Update documentation for backslashes to mention escape string syntax 
more, and standard_conforming_strings less, because in the future non-E
strings will not treat backslashes specially.

Also use E'' strings where backslashes are used in examples. (The
existing examples would have drawn warnings.)

20fe8b033a Correct a minor inaccuracy in the pg_dumpall reference page: -g dumps 
roles and tablespaces, no longer users and groups. Per Dave Page.

Backport to 8.2 and 8.1.
 2007-01-15 17:22:48 +00:00
Tom Lane
65fe39ee0a Fix handling of CC (century) format spec in to_date/to_char. According to 
standard convention the 21st century runs from 2001-2100, not 2000-2099,
so make it work like that.  Per bug #2885 from Akio Iwaasa.

Backpatch to 8.2, but no further, since this is really a definitional
change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.

an optarg).  Add some comments noting that code in three different files has
to be kept in sync.  Fix erroneous description of -S switch (it sets work_mem
not silent_mode), and do some light copy-editing elsewhere in postgres-ref.

c184470be3 Document the recently-understood hazard that a rollback can release row-level 
locks that logically should not be released, because when a subtransaction
overwrites XMAX all knowledge of the previous lock state is lost.  It seems

988a87a03a Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-added 
vacuum/analyze timestamp columns at the end, rather than at a random
spot in the middle as in the original patch.  This was deemed more usable
as well as less likely to break existing application code.  initdb forced
accordingly.  In passing, remove former kluge for initializing
pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently
so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.
