6f9cb4eb43 Adjust the discussion of triggers to more clearly guide people in the
direction of writing triggers in a procedural language, rather than C.

8ac386226d The patch updates the documentation to reflect the fact that higher values
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.

a0fc05aa6e Go back to emitting path names with forward slashes on Windows.
I'm not clear on what the double-backslash idea was intended to fix,
but it breaks at least mingw GNU Make.  Per report from Thomas Hallgren.

84cc9a4bb3 Back out this because of fear of changing error strings:
This makes the error messages for PREPARE TRANSACTION, COMMIT PREPARED
etc. match the docs, which talk about "transaction identifier" not
"gid" or "global transaction identifier".

165565cd94 Some additional doc changes based around compression of page images in
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.

Passes SGML make and proofread for typos.

203015ebdd Fix small oversight in recent patch to add more CREATE-FUNCTION-time
syntax checking to plpgsql: check_sql_expr() wasn't being called by
make_select_stmt(), so that there was no SQL syntax check for SELECT
statements.

1e9a6ba5e6 Don't try to remove duplicate OR-subclauses in create_bitmap_subplan and
make_restrictinfo_from_bitmapqual.  The likelihood of finding duplicates
seems much less than in the AND-subclause case, and the cost much higher,
because OR lists with hundreds or even thousands of subclauses are not
uncommon.  Per discussion with Ilia Kantor and andrew@supernews.

e952ae1268 Fix longstanding bug found by Atsushi Ogawa: _bt_check_unique would mark
the wrong buffer dirty when trying to kill a dead index entry that's on
a page after the one it started on.  No risk of data corruption, just
inefficiency, but still a bug.

07eeb9d109 Do all accesses to shared buffer headers through volatile-qualified
pointers, to ensure that compilers won't rearrange accesses to occur
while we're not holding the buffer header spinlock.  It's probably
not necessary to mark volatile in every single place in bufmgr.c,
but better safe than sorry.  Per trouble report from Kevin Grittner.

a72ee09090 Add infrastructure for making spins_per_delay variable depending on
whether we seem to be running in a uniprocessor or multiprocessor.
The adjustment rules could probably still use further tweaking, but

9907b9775b Don't use a non-locked pre-test of the spinlock on x86_64 machines.
The pre-test has been shown to be a big loss on Opterons and at best a
wash on EM64T.

0cc0d0822d Document that get_attstatsslot/free_attstatsslot only need to be passed
valid type information if they are asked to fetch the values part of a
pg_statistic slot; these arguments are unneeded if fetching only the
numbers part.  Use this to save a catcache lookup in btcostestimate,
which is looking like a bit of a hotspot in recent profiling.  Not a
big savings, but since it's essentially free, might as well do it.

07e6f93d6b Fix oversight in 8.0 modification of RestrictInfo data structures.
A RestrictInfo representing an OR clause now contains two versions of
the contained expression, one with sub-RestrictInfos and one without.
clause_selectivity() should descend to the version with sub-RestrictInfos
so that it has a chance of caching its results for the OR's sub-clauses.
Failing to do so resulted in redundant planner effort.

c6b9924bec Remove the DELETEs from pg_shadow and pg_group that pg_dumpall used to
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.

375e7d5579 Use a safer order of operations in dropdb(): rollbackable operations,
ie removing shared-dependency entries, should happen before non-rollbackable
ones.  That way a failure during the rollbackable part doesn't leave us
with inconsistent state.

9178306151 Fix the problem of GRANTs creating "dangling" privileges not directly
traceable to grant options.  As per my earlier proposal, a GRANT made by
a role member has to be recorded as being granted by the role that actually
holds the grant option, and not the member.
