side encoding name. This is necessary for client API's such as JDBC
to perform correct encoding conversions. See my email "[HACKERS]
pg_client_encoding" 10 Sep 2001.
transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of
duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code.
Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now,
and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses
actually fire now. ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo
having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.
current_timestamp, current_date for ODBC compatibility.
Add more functions to odbc.sql catalog extension, use new CREATE OR
REPLACE FUNCTION.
Document iODBC/unixODBC build options.
rather than having its own somewhat half-baked notion of what a type
declaration looks like. This is necessary now to ensure that plpgsql
will think a 'timestamp' variable has the same semantics as 'timestamp'
does in the main SQL grammar; and it should avoid divergences in future.
type coercion after failing to find an exact match in pg_proc, but before
considering interpretations that involve a function call with one or
more argument type coercions. This avoids surprises wherein what looks
like a type coercion is interpreted as coercing to some third type and
then to the destination type, as in Dave Blasby's bug report of 3-Oct-01.
See subsequent discussion in pghackers.
'aggname (aggtype)'. The old syntax 'aggname aggtype' is still accepted
for backwards compatibility. Fix pg_dump, which was actually broken for
most cases of user-defined aggregates. Clean up error messages associated
with these commands.

started later. Already-started backends continue to ignore changes
in these variables.
