2169e42bef Enable 64-bit integer datetimes by default, per previous discussion.
This requires a working 64-bit integer type. If such a type cannot
be found, "--disable-integer-datetimes" can be used to switch
back to the previous floating point-based datetime implementation.

5787d50acc Improve psql's tab completion to handle completing attribute names in cases
where the relation name was schema-qualified, for example
	UPDATE foo.bar SET <tab>
Also support cases where the relation name was quoted unnecessarily,
for example
	UPDATE "foo" SET <tab>

Greg Sabino Mullane, slightly simplified by myself.

Whatever we do about that, this isn't the path to the solution.

restore_command should report failure on non-existent .backup and .history
files. Tidy up some related text along the way.

2e4094dad8 Department of second thoughts: the rule that ORDER BY and DISTINCT are
useless for an ungrouped-aggregate query holds regardless of whether
optimize_minmax_aggregates succeeds.  So we might as well apply the
optimization in any case.

I'll leave 8.3 as it was, since this version is a tad more invasive
than my earlier patch.

ff72280c9e When we have successfully optimized a MIN or MAX aggregate into an indexscan,
the query result must be exactly one row (since we don't do this when there's
any GROUP BY).  Therefore any ORDER BY or DISTINCT attached to the query is
useless and can be dropped.  Aside from saving useless cycles, this protects
us against problems with matching the hacked-up tlist entries to sort clauses,
as seen in a bug report from Taiki Yamaguchi.  We might need to work harder
if we ever try to optimize grouped queries with this approach, but this
solution will do for now.

039dfbfd5d Reduce the need for frontend programs to include "postgres.h" by refactoring
inclusions in src/include/catalog/*.h files.  The main idea here is to push
function declarations for src/backend/catalog/*.c files into separate headers,
rather than sticking them into the corresponding catalog definition file as
has been done in the past.  This commit only carries out that idea fully for
pg_proc, pg_type and pg_conversion, but that's enough for the moment ---
if pg_list.h ever becomes unsafe for frontend code to include, we'll need
to work a bit more.

73b0300b2a Move the HTSU_Result enum definition into snapshot.h, to avoid including
tqual.h into heapam.h.  This makes all inclusion of tqual.h explicit.

d43b085d57 Separate snapshot management code from tuple visibility code, create a
snapmgmt.c file for the former.  The header files have also been reorganized
in three parts: the most basic snapshot definitions are now in a new file
snapshot.h, and the also new snapmgmt.h keeps the definitions for snapmgmt.c.
tqual.h has been reduced to the bare minimum.

This patch is just a first step towards managing live snapshots within a
transaction; there is no functionality change.

Per my proposal to pgsql-patches on 20080318191940.GB27458@alvh.no-ip.org and
subsequent discussion.

220db7ccd8 Simplify and standardize conversions between TEXT datums and ordinary C
strings.  This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString.  A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.

Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed.  There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).

This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring.  We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

1d812a98b4 Add a new tuplestore API function, tuplestore_putvalues(). This is
identical to tuplestore_puttuple(), except it operates on arrays of
Datums + nulls rather than a fully-formed HeapTuple. In several places
that use the tuplestore API, this means we can avoid creating a
HeapTuple altogether, saving a copy.
