Description

Documents what happens to per-session state when a pooled Bolt connection switches users: SET SESSION SETTING values, SET SESSION TRACE, the database selected with USE DATABASE, and SESSION/NEXT isolation levels last for the client connection and survive a failed query or a rollback (including the Bolt RESET a driver sends after a failure); switching to another user on the same connection (the driver re-authenticates with LOGOFF + LOGON) clears them. One short paragraph each in logs.mdx, monitoring.mdx, multi-tenancy.mdx and transactions.mdx; no new section (open docs PRs #1814 and #1843 edit the nearby part of transactions.mdx; this PR merges with both, and with #1831 and #1842, without conflicts).

The SHOW ACTIVE USERS INFO part of #4932 (login timestamp is the most recent login and changes on a user switch, session uuid stays the same) is in #1843, which rewrites that table.

Release-note gaps: the 3.14 entry says only that a user switch "clears the previous user's SET SESSION settings". It also clears the session and pending NEXT isolation levels, turns SET SESSION TRACE off, resets the selected database, re-applies the requested impersonated user (checking the new user's impersonation privilege), and refreshes the login timestamp. memgraph/memgraph#5135 also fixes the requested-database case on 3.14, so the two entries shouldn't both claim it.

Noticed, not fixed:

  • transactions.mdx: "GLOBAL - apply the new isolation level globally" — SET GLOBAL changes the current database's level.
  • SHOW STORAGE INFO global_isolation_level shows the startup flag, not a runtime SET GLOBAL value.
  • query-privileges.mdx lists SET SESSION TRACE but not SET SESSION SETTING / RESET SESSION SETTING (no privilege needed either).

Checked on the 3.14.0-rc3 package (8e7e2c28d, contains #4932), Enterprise and Community; user switches made with the Python driver's session-level auth on one pooled connection (same session UUID before and after).

* Add Memgraph v3.14.0 and Lab v3.14.0 release note titles

Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>

* docs: the bare pattern shorthand takes what a MATCH pattern takes (#1756)

* docs: the bare pattern shorthand takes what a MATCH pattern takes

The page stated two rules that no longer hold: that the shorthand's pattern cannot introduce names
of its own, and that it holds a pattern and nothing else so a filter needs the `MATCH` form. It now
takes a variable it declares itself, a trailing `WHERE`, a comma-separated list, a named path and a
lone node.

The worked example is the filter the old text used to send to the `MATCH` form, written as the
shorthand, with output from the page's own dataset. `COLLECT` still has no shorthand.

* docs: a pattern holding only a bound variable matches on its value

A pattern that names a variable the query has already bound used to be ignored, so the row passed
through whatever the variable held. It is now matched: a node is kept, a null matches nothing and
drops the row, and a value that is neither raises. This applies to a top-level MATCH and a CALL {}
subquery as well as to a subquery expression body, which the pages did not say.

Also documents the rule that came with it: a pattern name inside a subquery expression body may not
repeat a name from outside the body.

Every output block was produced by running the query against its own page's dataset block.

* docs: document the nullIf built-in (#1763)

* docs(querying): document the nullIf built-in

nullIf(value1, value2) answers null where the two arguments are equal
and the first argument otherwise, so it takes a value away where
coalesce supplies one.

* docs(querying): drop nullIf from the unsupported function list

It was the only entry under the scalar functions heading, so the
heading goes with it.

* Add Memgraph v3.14.0 release notes and drop per-release sitemap steps.

* docs: unlisted auth schemes pass through on coordinators without SSO (#1792)

Document memgraph/memgraph#4962: on a coordinator, any Bolt scheme not
listed in --auth-module-mappings now takes the same passthrough path as
basic/none instead of being rejected outright. Describe the two-path
rule, the per-scheme denial messages once SSO is configured, and the
3.13 -> 3.14 behavior change.

* docs: document disk_available row in SHOW STORAGE INFO (#1791)

Documents the new instance-level disk_available row added in
memgraph/memgraph#4952. Adds it to the SHOW STORAGE INFO reference
table and the example output.

* Document OPTIONAL CALL subqueries (#1776)

`OPTIONAL CALL ( scope ) { body }` keeps an input row whose subquery returns no
rows, with the subquery's columns set to null - the OPTIONAL MATCH contract.

Section 2.4 said the scoped `CALL (...)` form could not be combined with
`OPTIONAL` and showed the exact query that now works. It is replaced by 1.7
under the supported uses, and 2.4 now covers the case that is still rejected:
`OPTIONAL` on a procedure call rather than on a subquery, with the subquery
wrapping that does work.

Fill in the remaining breaking, feature, fix, and improvement notes
for merged memgraph PRs on this release.

* docs: soften open files sizing numbers and document the fs.nr_open ceiling

Review follow-up: sizing figures are now approximate, and the section notes
that LimitNOFILE cannot exceed fs.nr_open and how to check it. The heading
anchor #handle-numerous-open-files-simultaneously is referenced from the
Memgraph startup warning.

* docs: pin open files limit change to v3.15 and trim unverified sizing numbers

* docs: open files limit — only the hard limit matters on 3.14; symptoms, warning and INFO line

* Document auth queries in explicit transactions (#1836)

Auth queries can now run in an explicit transaction and apply together or
not at all. Add a section on this to the authentication overview, and update
the pages that said auth queries can't run in a transaction. Document that
user and tenant profile changes are now refused in explicit transactions.

Documents the session management queries from memgraph/memgraph#4577:
listing open Bolt sessions and terminating them from another connection,
who can see and terminate which sessions, the result columns, and the
SESSIONS reserved keyword. Adds both queries to the query privileges table.
