[DOCS] Key word table update for SQL:2008

2008-11-26 Thread Peter Eisentraut
I was planning to update the key words table 
(http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/sql-keywords-appendix.html) 
for SQL:2008 and was wondering whether there is interest in keeping the 
SQL-92 through SQL:2003 columns.  It might look a bit overloaded then.


Comments?

I noticed in the docs for pg_standby (docs/src/sgml/pgstandby.sgml)

Hrm, AFAIK it works... Simon?



It works, yes. But in basic form only.

You'll have problems stopping and starting standby, but the most
important change is that the process is not restartable. So if you run
it for a month and then crash, you'll need to re-run the whole month's
WAL data.

  
Exactly, after posting this I discovered the relevant CVS logs for 
changes to support restartable recovery. It seems to me that perhaps a 
little more detail in the docs would be good here.


At work some folks are using pg_standby with 8.1 and while it does work 
quite well, it took me a wee while to figure out that some of the issues 
they are having are tied up with inability to continue recovery after 
restarting the database or the os!


Best wishes

Mark

On Fedora, package is called docbook-2X , and I had to build the docs
with:

make manx DOCBOOK2MAN=/usr/bin/db2x_docbook2man


I have added a configure check so that this should work out of the box now.

Perhaps the most useful thing would be to keep SQL-92 and latest, so
as to show the "full range" in what's been reserved or not in different
spec revisions.
