If the second output column value is 'a\nb', the 'b' should appear
in the second display column, rather than the first column as it
does now.
Change libpq's PQdsplen() to return more useful values.

BACKWARD COMPATIBLE CHANGE.
The only user-visible change I saw in the regression tests is that a
SELECT * on a table where all the columns have been dropped doesn't
return a blank line like before. This seems like a step forward.

not print the owner name in the object comment.
eg:
--
-- Name: actor; Type: TABLE; Schema: public; Owner: chriskl; Tablespace:
--
Becomes:
--
-- Name: actor; Type: TABLE; Schema: public; Owner: -; Tablespace:
--
This makes it far easier to do 'user independent' dumps. Especially for
distribution to third parties.

sorry but fix can't be applyed to previous version: it's require
refill tsvector...
2 Small optimize of load time for huge dictionaries

Fixed missing continuation line character.

Bit field notation belongs to a variable not a variable list.

the format on Tuple(Numeric) and the format to calculate(NumericVar)
are different. I understood that to reduce I/O. However, when many
comparisons or calculations of NUMERIC are executed, the conversion
of Numeric and NumericVar becomes a bottleneck.
It is profile result when "create index on NUMERIC column" is executed:

The create index command executes many comparisons of Numeric values.
Functions other than comparetup_index spent a lot of cycles for
conversion from Numeric to NumericVar.
An attached patch enables the comparison of Numeric values without
executing conversion to NumericVar. The execution time of that SQL
becomes half.

would basically punt in all cases for 'foo <> ALL (array)', which resulted
in a performance regression for NOT IN compared to what we were doing in
8.1 and before. Per report from Pavel Stehule.
relations: fix the executor so that we can have an Append plan on the
inside of a nestloop and still pass down outer index keys to index scans
within the Append, then generate such plans as if they were regular
inner indexscans. This avoids the need to evaluate the outer relation
multiple times.
... in fact, it will be applied now in any query whatsoever. I'm still
a bit concerned about the cycles that might be expended in failed proof
attempts, but given that CE is turned off by default, it's the user's
choice whether to expend those cycles or not. (Possibly we should
change the simple bool constraint_exclusion parameter to something
more fine-grained?)

internally $$ strings are converted to single-quote strings.
In ecpg, output newlines in commands using standard C escapes, rather
than using literal newlines, which is not portable.
thereby sharing code with the inheritance case. This puts the UNION-ALL-view
approach to partitioned tables on par with inheritance, so far as constraint
exclusion is concerned: it works either way. (Still need to update the docs
to say so.) The definition of "simple UNION ALL" is a little simpler than
I would like --- basically the union arms can only be SELECT * FROM foo
--- but it's good enough for partitioned-table cases.
MemSet on AIX by setting MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT to zero.
Add optimization to skip MemSet tests in MEMSET_LOOP_LIMIT == 0 case and
just call memset() directly.
