249724cb01 Create an ALTER DEFAULT PRIVILEGES command, which allows users to adjust
the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects.

Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects
created in particular schemas too.  A notable benefit is that users can
override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE
privilege traditionally granted by default for functions.

9048b73184 Implement the DO statement to support execution of PL code without having
to create a function for it.

Procedural languages now have an additional entry point, namely a function
to execute an inline code block.  This seemed a better design than trying
to hide the transient-ness of the code from the PL.  As of this patch, only
plpgsql has an inline handler, but probably people will soon write handlers
for the other standard PLs.

In passing, remove the long-dead LANCOMPILER option of CREATE LANGUAGE.

cae565e503 SQL/MED catalog manipulation facilities
This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

3e3bb36ee9 First rough cut at text search documentation: bare bones reference
pages for the new SQL commands.  I also committed Bruce's text search
introductory chapter, as-is except for fixing some markup errors,
so that there would be a place for the reference pages to link to.

a55898131e Add ALTER VIEW ... RENAME TO, and a RENAME TO clause to ALTER SEQUENCE.
Sequences and views could previously be renamed using ALTER TABLE, but
this was a repeated source of confusion for users. Update the docs,
and psql tab completion. Patch from David Fetter; various minor fixes
by myself.

16efdb5ec7 Rename the newly-added commands for discarding session state.
RESET SESSION, RESET PLANS, and RESET TEMP are now DISCARD ALL,
DISCARD PLANS, and DISCARD TEMP, respectively. This is to avoid
confusion with the pre-existing RESET variants: the DISCARD
commands are not actually similar to RESET. Patch from Marko
Kreen, with some minor editorialization.

a134ee3379 Update documentation on may/can/might:
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

cec3b0a9e6 Implement DROP OWNED and REASSIGN OWNED. These new commands facilitate the
process of dropping roles by dropping objects owned by them and privileges
granted to them, or giving the owned objects to someone else, through the
use of the data stored in the new pg_shdepend catalog.

Some refactoring of the GRANT/REVOKE code was needed, as well as ALTER OWNER
code.  Further cleanup of code duplication in the GRANT code seems necessary.

Implemented by me after an idea from Tom Lane, who also provided various kind
of implementation advice.

Regression tests pass.  Some tests for the new functionality are also added,
as well as rudimentary documentation.

efcaf1e868 Some mop-up work for savepoints (nested transactions). Store a small
number of active subtransaction XIDs in each backend's PGPROC entry,
and use this to avoid expensive probes into pg_subtrans during
TransactionIdIsInProgress.  Extend EOXactCallback API to allow add-on
modules to get control at subxact start/end.  (This is deliberately
not compatible with the former API, since any uses of that API probably
need manual review anyway.)  Add basic reference documentation for
SAVEPOINT and related commands.  Minor other cleanups to check off some
of the open issues for subtransactions.

2467394ee1 Tablespaces. Alternate database locations are dead, long live tablespaces.
There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation.  Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE.  Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

5f65225fa3 Todo items:
Add ALTER SEQUENCE to modify min/max/increment/cache/cycle values

Also updated create sequence docs to mention NO MINVALUE, & NO MAXVALUE.

New Files:
doc/src/sgml/ref/alter_sequence.sgml
src/test/regress/expected/sequence.out
src/test/regress/sql/sequence.sql


ALTER SEQUENCE is NOT transactional.  It behaves similarly to setval().
It matches the proposed SQL200N spec, as well as Oracle in most ways --
Oracle lacks RESTART WITH for some strange reason.

c0ad595386 I attach a little patch to make CLUSTER set and reset the indisclustered
bit on the indexes.

I also attach clusterdb and clusterdb.sgml; both of them are blatant
rips of vacuumdb and vacuumdb.sgml, but get the job done.  Please review
them, as I'm probably making a lot of mistakes with SGML and I can't
compile it here.

vacuumdb itself is not very comfortable to use when the databases have
passwords, because it has to connect once for each table (I can probably
make it connect only once for each database; should I?).  Because of
this I added a mention of PGPASSWORDFILE in the documentation, but I
don't know if that is the correct place for that.

19e0e35bcd The attached patch implements START TRANSACTION, per SQL99. The
functionality of the command is basically identical to that of
BEGIN; it just accepts a few extra options (only one of which
PostgreSQL currently implements), and is standards-compliant.
The patch includes a simple regression test and documentation.

[ Regression tests removed, per Peter.]

ea4686e3e1 Implement CREATE/DROP OPERATOR CLASS. Work still remains: need more

entries by hand.  Original patch by Bill Studenmund, grammar adjustments
and general update for 7.3 by Tom Lane.

97377048b4 pg_cast table, and standards-compliant CREATE/DROP CAST commands, plus
extension to create binary compatible casts.  Includes dependency tracking
as well.

pg_proc.proimplicit is now defunct, but will be removed in a separate
commit.

pg_dump provides a migration path from the previous scheme to declare
casts.  Dumping binary compatible casts is currently impossible, though.

Bruce Momjian
01c76f7411 Ok. Updated patch attached.
- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs

- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]

Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];

Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.

Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().

Some documentation differences from earlier.

If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests.  I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.


CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes.  FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly.  Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().
