Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.
Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours. This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.
Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.

process of dropping roles by dropping objects owned by them and privileges
granted to them, or giving the owned objects to someone else, through the
use of the data stored in the new pg_shdepend catalog.
Some refactoring of the GRANT/REVOKE code was needed, as well as ALTER OWNER
code. Further cleanup of code duplication in the GRANT code seems necessary.
Implemented by me after an idea from Tom Lane, who also provided various kind
of implementation advice.
Regression tests pass. Some tests for the new functionality are also added,
as well as rudimentary documentation.
the array (for array_push) or higher-dimensional array (for array_cat)
rather than decrementing it as before. This avoids generating lower
bounds other than one for any array operation within the SQL spec. Per
recent discussion.
Interestingly, this seems to have been the original behavior, because
while updating the docs I noticed that a large fraction of relevant
examples were *wrong* for the old behavior and are now right. Is it
worth correcting this in the back-branch docs?
functionality, but I still need to make another pass looking at places
that incidentally use arrays (such as ACL manipulation) to make sure they
are null-safe. Contrib needs work too.
I have not changed the behaviors that are still under discussion about
array comparison and what to do with lower bounds.

However, a patch has emerged (thanks, Seneca!) that does allow it to
work, and which I'd expect to be portable (better still!).
We are still actively pursuing why it breaks, but supposing that still
remains outstanding, at least the following would allow AIX users to
better survive a build...

PQregisterThreadLock().
I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and
added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt().
Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it
seemed unwise.
I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().
documenting GiST crash recovery procedures, as requested some time ago

the latter, but I'm not sure what else to do with it.)
a parameter in binary format. Also, add a TIP explaining how to use casts
in the query text to avoid needing to specify parameter types by OID.
Also fix bogus spacing --- apparently somebody expanded the tabs in the
example programs to 8 spaces instead of 4 when transposing them into SGML.
fix problems with replacement-string backslashes that aren't followed by
one of the expected characters, avoid giving the impression that
replace_text_regexp() is meant to be called directly as a SQL function,
etc.
the facility has been set, the facility gets set to LOCAL0 and cannot
be changed later. This seems reasonably plausible to happen, particularly
at higher debug log levels, though I am not certain it explains Han Holl's
recent report. Easiest fix is to teach the code how to change the value
on-the-fly, which is nicer anyway. I made the settings PGC_SIGHUP to
conform with log_destination.
regression=# select '23:59:59.9'::time(0);
time

This is bad because:
regression=# select '24:00:00'::time(0);
ERROR: date/time field value out of range: "24:00:00"
The last example now works.
of client_min_messages (fatal + panic) are valid and also fixes a slight
issue with how psql tried to display error messages that aren't sent to
the client.
We often tell people to ignore errors in response to requests for things
like "drop if exists", but there's no good way to completely hide this
without upping client_min_messages past ERROR. When running a file like
SET client_min_messages TO 'FATAL';
DROP TABLE doesntexist;
with "psql -f filename" you get an error prefix of
"psql:/home/username/filename:3" even though there is no error message to
prefix because it isn't sent to the client.

WAL and the interaction of the new full_page_writes parameter with PITR.
The too-small WAL first sect1 has been merged with the one following
sect1 for clarity.
Some minor comments have been made in the WAL config section also.

emit when given the --clean option, in favor of individual DROP ROLE
commands. The old technique could not possibly work in 8.1, and was
never a very good idea anyway IMHO. The DROP ROLE approach has the
defect that the DROPs will fail for roles that own objects or have
privileges, but perhaps we can improve that later.

generated by bitmap index scans. Along the way, simplify and speed up
the code for counting sequential and index scans; it was both confusing
and inefficient to be taking care of that in the per-tuple loops, IMHO.
initdb forced because of internal changes in pg_stat view definitions.
argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string. The frontend
conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an
implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass. This provides
backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument
is explicitly typed as 'text'. When the argument is just an unadorned
literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the
stored representation will be an OID. This solves longstanding problems
with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as
well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or
moving them to another schema. All per recent discussion.
Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support
for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).
relocated after installation. We can't trust the installation paths
inserted into Makefile.global by configure, so instead we must get the
paths from pg_config. This requires extending pg_config to support all
the separately-configurable path names, but that was on TODO anyway.
