87070ccc13 It looks Ok, but it has one unnecessary step. There is no need to do the "mv
privkey.pem cert.pem.pw" if you just use "privkey.pem" in the following
openssl command (e.g. openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out cert.pem".
But there is nothing wrong with it as it is now, as far as I can see.

21a3857f1f Rip out table expression section from SQL syntax chapter and develop it
into new chapter on query (SELECT) syntax.  In the end this should become
a narrative and example-filled counterpart to the SELECT reference page.

a2405d5554 Get rid of initdb -t bugs by the simple expedient of getting rid of
initdb -t.  This option is obsoleted by 7.1's ability to drop and
recreate template1 during normal operation.

923513b52f Move anoncvs to top of docs, then put cvs tree. Hope that is OK. Seems

d128852358 In the Programmer's Guide, the sample code for accessing large objects
from libpq has two functions with memory leaks.

The functions pickout() and overwrite() malloc space for buf which is
never freed.

See
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/programmer/largeobjects3207.htm

This problem is also in the 6.5 docs at
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/6.5/programmer/x3184.htm

df389d161d Approaching the current documentation from a position of ignorance, I
find it ambiguous.  I propose something along the lines of the
following patch to clarify it.  Thanks.

(Alternatively, perhaps the code could maintain a count of nested
calls to SPI_connect/SPI_finish.  But I didn't try to write that
patch.)

2fb6cc9045 Remove not-really-standard implementation of CREATE TABLE's UNDER clause,
and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause
instead, per recent discussion in pghackers.  Also fix implementation
of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze().  See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just
after a SET TIMEZONE command.  gram.y really has to be an invariant
transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that
can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.
