available (else there's no way to interpret the list links). Change
pg_locks view to show transaction ID locks separately from ordinary
relation locks. Avoid showing N duplicate rows when the same lock is
held multiple times (seems unlikely that users care about exact hold
count). Improve documentation.
to false provides more SQL-spec-compliant behavior than we had before.
I am not sure that setting it false is actually a good idea yet; there
is a lot of client-side code that will probably be broken by turning
autocommit off. But it's a start.
Loosely based on a patch by David Van Wie.

get out of sync with its parent. Patch by Alvaro Herrera, with some

to the table function, thus preventing memory leakage accumulation across
calls. This means that SRFs need to be careful to distinguish permanent
and local storage; adjust code and documentation accordingly. Patch by
Joe Conway, very minor tweaks by Tom Lane.
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.

value '-2' is used to indicate a variable-width type whose width is
computed as strlen(datum)+1. Everything that looks at typlen is updated
except for array support, which Joe Conway is working on; at the moment
it wouldn't work to try to create an array of cstring.

with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion. I still want to do some
more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk
of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...
