f7667e4cfa Update DELETE FROM:
< * Allow DELETE to handle table aliases for self-joins
> * Allow an alias to be provided for the target table in UPDATE/DELETE
276,279c276,282
<   There is no way to create a table alias for the deleted table for use
<   in the DELETE WHERE clause.  The agreed approach is to allow a USING
<   clause to specify additional tables.  UPDATE already has an optional
<   FROM clause for this purpose.
>   This is not SQL-spec but many DBMSs allow it.
>
> * Allow additional tables to be specified in DELETE for joins
>
>   UPDATE already allows this (UPDATE...FROM) but we need similar
>   functionality in DELETE.  It's been agreed that the keyword should
>   be USING, to avoid anything as confusing as DELETE FROM a FROM b.

b06c907645 Path-mangling logic was failing to account for paths containing mentions
of '.' or '..'.  Extend canonicalize_path() to trim off trailing occurrences
of these things, and use it to fix up paths where needed (which I think is
only after places where we trim the last path component, but maybe some
others will turn up).  Fixes Josh's complaint that './initdb' does not
work.

35f539b481 When expanding %p in archive_command or restore_command, translate
slashes to backslashes #ifdef WIN32.  This is to cope with the fact
that Windows seems exceedingly unfriendly to slashes in shell commands,
as per recent discussion.

33bf242a8a Make listen_addresses be a comma-separated list instead of a space-separated
list.  More consistent with our other list-containing GUC variables.

7ee3c35152 Allow libpgport to call memory allocation routines even though
CurrentMemoryContext is DLLIMPORT on Win32.  Work around that by
creating stubs in the backend for palloc/pstrdup.

Also fix pg_dumpall to do proper quoting on Win32.

cb50ee286d Tighened up syntax checking of array input processing considerably. Junk that
was previously allowed in odd places with odd results now causes an ERROR.
Also changed behavior with respect to whitespace -- trailing whitespace is
now ignored as well as leading whitespace (which has always been ignored).

Documentation updated to reflect change in whitespace handling. Also some
refactoring to what I believe is a more sensible order of several paragraphs.

6c3561b9e4 Minor editorialization on example --- I think that the use of dollar
quoting in this case is just needless obscurantism.

ff8d68df5c Included is an example of using savepoints in a non-trivial example.
Giving examples in the SQL command reference is hard because we don't
have conditionals at the SQL level.

9b3caebb0a Update plpgsql documentation for 8.0 (mostly, make use of named
function parameters and dollar quoting in examples; do some polishing
of the existing dollar-quoting docs).  The 'how to port from Oracle'
section is looking pretty respectable these days ...
