3332e38189 Disable expanded mode only for \d tablename, not for all backslash 
commands.  Per complaint that \df+ is clearer in expanded mode.

807da29cf3 Add items from Tom: 
< 	o Add a GUC variable to allow output of interval values in ISO8601
< 	  format

> 	o Add a GUC variable to allow output of interval values in ISO8601
> 	  format
> 	o Improve timestamptz subtraction to be DST-aware
>
> 	  Currently, subtracting one date from another that crosses a
> 	  daylight savings time adjustment can return '1 day 1 hour', but
> 	  adding that back to the first date returns a time one hour in
> 	  the future.  This is caused by the adjustment of '25 hours' to
> 	  '1 day 1 hour', and '1 day' is the same time the next day, even
> 	  if daylight savings adjustments are involved.
>
> 	o Fix interval display to support values exceeding 2^31 hours
> 	o Add overflow checking to timestamp and interval arithmetic

fc5894bf77 Adjust parser so that POSTQUEL-style implicit RTEs are stored with 
inFromCl true, meaning that they will list out as explicit RTEs if they
are in a view or rule.  Update comments about inFromCl to reflect the way
it's now actually used.  Per recent discussion.

24fa8746ae Fix incorrect wording about function failure time on unsafe ops - these 
are now caught by the validator. And a small visit from the perl style police:
check the return value from open().

819159709f I have applied the following patch to document PQinitSSL() and 
PQregisterThreadLock().

I also remove the crypt() mention in the libpq threading section and
added a single sentence in the client-auth manual page under crypt().
Crypt authentication is so old now that a separate paragraph about it
seemed unwise.

I also added a comment about our use of locking around pqGetpwuid().

c3a7b0577b Add a note about GNU tar's propensity to complain if a file changes 
while tar is copying it.  This behavior is unhelpful when taking a base
backup.  Per gripe from Pallav Kalva back in April.

96b85f1ccb Fix documentation to specify the correct range of timezone offsets for 
type time with time zone, ie, +/- 13:59 not +/- 12:00.  Also some minor
wording improvements.

fdff883aca Clean up autovacuum documentation, which was a bit out of sync with what 
the code actually does, and needed copy-editing anyway.  Also take the
opportunity to expand the section on routine reindexing.

d6707cb66e Minor PL/PgSQL doc tweak: use current_timestamp rather than now() in 
an example function.

9bd7ed828e Clean up some obsolete statements about GiST indexes, and add a section 
documenting GiST crash recovery procedures, as requested some time ago
by Teodor.  (The GiST chapter doesn't seem quite the right place for
the latter, but I'm not sure what else to do with it.)

d1959f9ff6 Improve testlibpq3.c's example of PQexecParams() usage to include sending 
a parameter in binary format.  Also, add a TIP explaining how to use casts
in the query text to avoid needing to specify parameter types by OID.
Also fix bogus spacing --- apparently somebody expanded the tabs in the
example programs to 8 spaces instead of 4 when transposing them into SGML.

held by means of role membership, rather than directly.  Per discussion

a33fadfd6d Add an entry to the discussion of regression test failures about the 
possibility of a failure due to stack overflow when max_stack_depth is
not set properly for the platform.

220f2a7d15 Code review for regexp_replace patch. Improve documentation and comments, 
fix problems with replacement-string backslashes that aren't followed by
one of the expected characters, avoid giving the impression that
replace_text_regexp() is meant to be called directly as a SQL function,
etc.

d330f1554d Clean up libpq's pollution of application namespace by renaming the 
exported routines of ip.c, md5.c, and fe-auth.c to begin with 'pg_'.
Also get rid of the vestigial fe_setauthsvc/fe_getauthsvc routines
altogether.

8ffdcbf23b Add note that some versions of OS X require SHMMAX to be an exact multiple 
of 4096.  Also add comment explaining why we don't suggest using
/etc/sysctl.conf to avoid needing to edit /etc/rc.

2c19629f93 Remove a long comment from cvs.sgml -- AFAICS this is no longer useful, 
or at any rate doesn't belong as a comment in a random SGML file.
