Tom Lane aec4cf1c8c Add a function pg_stat_clear_snapshot() that discards any statistics snapshot 
already collected in the current transaction; this allows plpgsql functions to
watch for stats updates even though they are confined to a single transaction.
Use this instead of the previous kluge involving pg_stat_file() to wait for
the stats collector to update in the stats regression test.  Internally,
decouple storage of stats snapshots from transaction boundaries; they'll
now stick around until someone calls pgstat_clear_snapshot --- which xact.c
still does at transaction end, to maintain the previous behavior.  This makes
the logic a lot cleaner, at the price of a couple dozen cycles per transaction
exit.

    changes are included in 8.0.[10+], 8.1.[6+], and all later major

    timezone database for daylight saving information.</P>

 2007-02-06 16:44:14 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 037f8413fa Move NAMEDATALEN definition from postgres_ext.h to pg_config_manual.h. It 
used to be part of libpq's exported interface many releases ago, but now
it's no longer necessary to make it accessible to clients.

Bruce Momjian 8b4ff8b6a1 Wording cleanup for error messages. Also change can't -> cannot. 
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".
