Tom Lane 48beecda7c Remove geqo_random_seed parameter. Having geqo reset the global random()
sequence every time it's called is bogus --- it interferes with user
control over the seed, and actually decreases randomness overall
(because a seed based on time(NULL) is pretty predictable).  If you really
want a reproducible result from geqo, do 'set seed = 0' before planning
a query.

Peter Eisentraut 5f65345a57 Do not pass server_encoding to the client.
libpq, talking to an old server, should assume SQL_ASCII as the default
client encoding, because that is what the server will actually use (not
the server encoding).

Bruce Momjian a9f9a97906 I almost forgot mark in docs "to_char(interval)" as deprecated function.
This useless routine will removed in 7.5. It's already discussed (see
hackers list archive).

Bruce Momjian 41477b9a83 This patch makes two minor fixes to the docs: (1) fixes a
spelling mistake in the PREPARE ref page (2) Makes some
English more consistent, in the ref pages for some of the
client apps (3) Adds a link to the libpq docs in the
vacuumdb ref page.

Bruce Momjian e7f266e5fe There is a misstatement in the CLOSE reference page, now that we
have cursors that might outlive their creating transactions. A
patch is attached that fixes this (suggestions on better wording
are welcome).

Bruce Momjian 2326ade600 I just noticed that the sample pg_hba.conf in the docs doesn't contain
any use of CIDR masks - here's a patch that adds  a couple of  sample
lines and associated comments.
