fa6fa8e549 This patch attempts to outline the supported level of SSL within libpq. 
I haven't mentioned any of
~/.postgresql/{root.crt,postgresql.crt,postresql.key} even though they
are checked for in the code, since they do not appear to be supported. I
base this on discussions in pgsql-hackers.

31ae87c332 This patch attempts to note the use of the root.crt file in the server. 
Given that PostgreSQL will output a message complaining about it's
absence if you're using SSL mode, I feel it's important that it gets a
mention in the documentation at some point.

a3c53c834f This patch from Alvaro Herrera adds transaction ID to the list of 
log_line_prefix escapes. The escape sequence used for this is %x.
%x previously meant "postmaster et al. stop here" -- this has been
renamed to %q.

5b564e5307 Fix some shortcomings in psql's autocommit-off mode concerning detection 
of commands for which a transaction block should not be forced.  Recognize
VACUUM and other PreventTransactionChain commands; handle nested /* .. */
comments correctly; handle multibyte encodings correctly.

768b647ead Now that I look, table 8-1 has some other marginal misstatements in it. 
If we're going to put brackets around optional precision specs in some
entries, we'd better do it in all.

b2c4071299 Redesign query-snapshot timing so that volatile functions in READ COMMITTED 
mode see a fresh snapshot for each command in the function, rather than
using the latest interactive command's snapshot.  Also, suppress fresh
snapshots as well as CommandCounterIncrement inside STABLE and IMMUTABLE
functions, instead using the snapshot taken for the most closely nested
regular query.  (This behavior is only sane for read-only functions, so
the patch also enforces that such functions contain only SELECT commands.)
As per my proposal of 6-Sep-2004; I note that I floated essentially the
same proposal on 19-Jun-2002, but that discussion tailed off without any
action.  Since 8.0 seems like the right place to be taking possibly
nontrivial backwards compatibility hits, let's get it done now.

b339d1fff6 Fire non-deferred AFTER triggers immediately upon query completion, 
rather than when returning to the idle loop.  This makes no particular
difference for interactively-issued queries, but it makes a big difference
for queries issued within functions: trigger execution now occurs before
the calling function is allowed to proceed.  This responds to numerous
complaints about nonintuitive behavior of foreign key checking, such as
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2004-09/msg00020.php, and
appears to be required by the SQL99 spec.
Also take the opportunity to simplify the data structures used for the
pending-trigger list, rename them for more clarity, and squeeze out a
bit of space.

90e1ac9292 Add index mention: 
<P>In pre-8.0 releases, indexes often can not be used unless the data
    types exactly match the index's column types.  This is particularly
    true of int2, int8, and numeric column indexes.</P>

8c603f2c95 Replace log_filename_prefix with more general log_filename parameter, 
to allow DBA to choose the form in which log filenames reflect the
current time.  Also allow for truncating instead of appending to
pre-existing files --- this is convenient when the log filename pattern
rewrites the same names cyclically.  Per Ed L.

50742aed68 Add WAL logging for CREATE/DROP DATABASE and CREATE/DROP TABLESPACE. 
Fix TablespaceCreateDbspace() to be able to create a dummy directory
in place of a dropped tablespace's symlink.  This eliminates the open
problem of a PANIC during WAL replay when a replayed action attempts
to touch a file in a since-deleted tablespace.  It also makes for a
significant improvement in the usability of PITR replay.

cb50ee286d Tighened up syntax checking of array input processing considerably. Junk that 
was previously allowed in odd places with odd results now causes an ERROR.
Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace -- trailing whitespace is
now ignored as well as leading whitespace (which has always been ignored).

Documentation updated to reflect change in whitespace handling. Also some
refactoring to what I believe is a more sensible order of several paragraphs.
