ReportSyntaxErrorPosition could probably do with more smarts about
handling control characters, for the moment I'll just get it back to
handling tabs consistently.
comments on cluster global objects like databases, tablespaces, and
roles.
It touches a lot of places, but not much in the way of big changes. The
only design decision I made was to duplicate the query and manipulation
functions rather than to try and have them handle both shared and local
comments. I believe this is simpler for the code and not an issue for
callers because they know what type of object they are dealing with.
This has resulted in a shobj_description function analagous to
obj_description and backend functions [Create/Delete]SharedComments
mirroring the existing [Create/Delete]Comments functions.

This is mostly just over-compulsiveness on my part, but the exercise
did reveal one real bug: errors.out has a space difference now where
it should not.
(optionally) to a new host and port without exiting psql. This
eliminates, IMHO, a surprise in that you can now connect to PostgreSQL
on a differnt machine from the one where you started your session. This
should help people who use psql as an administrative tool.

during the vacuumcleanup scan that we're going to do anyway. Should
save a few cycles (one calculation per page, not per tuple) as well
as not having to depend on assumptions about heap and index being
in step.
I think this could probably be made to work for GIST too, but that
code looks messy enough that I'm disinclined to try right now.
partial. None of the existing AMs do anything useful except counting
tuples when there's nothing to delete, and we can get a tuple count
from the heap as long as it's not a partial index. (hash actually can
skip anyway because it maintains a tuple count in the index metapage.)
GIST is not currently able to exploit this optimization because, due to
failure to index NULLs, GIST is always effectively partial. Possibly
we should fix that sometime.

Currently, while \e saves a single statement as one entry, interactive
statements are saved one line at a time. Ideally all statements
would be saved like \e does.

regardless of the current schema search path. Since CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
only allows one default opclass per datatype regardless of schemas, this
should have minimal impact, and it fixes problems with failure to find a
desired opclass while restoring dump files. Per discussion at
http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-02/msg00284.php.
Remove now-redundant-or-unused code in typcache.c and namespace.c,
and backpatch as far as 8.0.
If the second output column value is 'a\nb', the 'b' should appear
in the second display column, rather than the first column as it
does now.
Change libpq's PQdsplen() to return more useful values.

BACKWARD COMPATIBLE CHANGE.
The only user-visible change I saw in the regression tests is that a
SELECT * on a table where all the columns have been dropped doesn't
return a blank line like before. This seems like a step forward.

not print the owner name in the object comment.
eg:
--
-- Name: actor; Type: TABLE; Schema: public; Owner: chriskl; Tablespace:
--
Becomes:
--
-- Name: actor; Type: TABLE; Schema: public; Owner: -; Tablespace:
--
This makes it far easier to do 'user independent' dumps. Especially for
distribution to third parties.

sorry but fix can't be applyed to previous version: it's require

the format on Tuple(Numeric) and the format to calculate(NumericVar)
are different. I understood that to reduce I/O. However, when many
comparisons or calculations of NUMERIC are executed, the conversion
of Numeric and NumericVar becomes a bottleneck.
It is profile result when "create index on NUMERIC column" is executed:

The create index command executes many comparisons of Numeric values.
Functions other than comparetup_index spent a lot of cycles for
conversion from Numeric to NumericVar.
An attached patch enables the comparison of Numeric values without
executing conversion to NumericVar. The execution time of that SQL
becomes half.
