02eb8f4f5c Use schema search path to find the first matching contraint name for SET
CONSTRAINT, rather than affecting all constraints in all schemas (which
is what we used to do).  Also allow schema specifications.

5fd7df43e2 I now see we support RESET SESSION AUTHORIZATION, so it seems we have to
use RESET CONNECTION:

< * Add RESET SESSION command to reset all session state

c880f9aeb2 Update SQL-standard INTERVAL item:
o Support ISO INTERVAL syntax if units cannot be determined from
          the string, and are supplied after the string

          The SQL standard states that the units after the string specify
          the units of the string, e.g. INTERVAL '2' MINUTE should
          return '00:02:00'.  The current behavior has the units
          restrict the interval value to the specified unit or unit range,
          INTERVAL '70' SECOND returns '00:00:10'.

          For syntax that isn't uniquely ISO or PG syntax, like '1' or
          '1:30', treat as ISO if there is a range specification clause,
          and as PG if there no clause is present, e.g. interpret
          '1:30' MINUTE TO SECOND as '1 minute 30 seconds', and
          interpret '1:30' as '1 hour, 30 minutes'.

          This makes common cases like SELECT INTERVAL '1' MONTH
          SQL-standard results.  The SQL standard supports a limited
          number of unit combinations and doesn't support unit names
          in the string.  The PostgreSQL syntax is more flexible in
          the range of units supported, e.g. PostgreSQL supports
          '1 year 1 hour', while the SQL standard does not.

efe3de07e9 Removes or minimizes some documentation mentions of backward
compatibility for release 7.2 and earlier.  I have not altered any
mentions of release 7.3 or later.  The release notes were not modified,
so the changes are still documented, just not in the main docs.

1b4504ced2 Remove from TODO ability to edit pg_hba.conf, but add GRANT connection
permission item:

< 	o %Allow pg_hba.conf settings to be controlled via SQL
> 	o %Allow per-database permissions to be set via GRANT
< 	  This would add a function to load the SQL table from
<           pg_hba.conf, and one to writes its contents to the flat file.
< 	  The table should have a line number that is a float so rows
< 	  can be inserted between existing rows, e.g. row 2.5 goes
< 	  between row 2 and row 3.
> 	  Allow database connection checks based on GRANT rules in
> 	  addition to the existing access checks in pg_hba.conf.

5bd59b9c0a Document that errors are not output by log_statement (was they were in
8.0), and add as suggestion to use log_min_error_statement for this
purpose.  I also fixed the code so the first EXECUTE has it's prepare,
rather than the last which is what was in the current code.  Also remove
"protocol" prefix for SQL EXECUTE output because it is not accurate.

Backpatch to 8.1.X.

3651a3e6fb Support the syntax
CREATE AGGREGATE aggname (input_type) (parameter_list)
along with the old syntax where the input type was named in the parameter
list.  This fits more naturally with the way that the aggregate is identified
in DROP AGGREGATE and other utility commands; furthermore it has a natural
extension to handle multiple-input aggregates, where the basetype-parameter
method would get ugly.  In fact, this commit fixes the grammar and all the
utility commands to support multiple-input aggregates; but DefineAggregate
rejects it because the executor isn't fixed yet.
I didn't do anything about treating agg(*) as a zero-input aggregate instead
of artificially making it a one-input aggregate, but that should be considered
in combination with supporting multi-input aggregates.

98c6c966bc Update AIX FAQ:
At any rate, here's a revision to CVS HEAD to reflect some changes by
myself and by Seneca Cunningham for the AIX FAQ.  It touches on the
following issues:

1.  memcpy pointer patch for dynahash.c

2.  AIX memory management, which can, for 32 bit cases, bite people
    quite unexpectedly...
