* Allow a database in tablespace t1 with tables created in tablespace t2
to be used as a template for a new database created with default
tablespace t2
All objects in the default database tablespace must have default tablespace
specifications. This is because new databases are created by copying
directories. If you mix default tablespace tables and tablespace-specified
tables in the same directory, creating a new database from such a mixed
directory would create a new database with tables that had incorrect
explicit tablespaces. To fix this would require modifying pg_class in the
newly copied database, which we don't currently do.

This does not disable the bgwriter process: it still has to wake up often
enough to collect fsync requests from backends in a timely fashion. But
it responds to the recent gripe about not being able to prevent the disk
from being spun up constantly.

parent table's tablespace, as per gripe from Michael Kleiser. Choose
a more plausible column order for this view and pg_tables. Update
documentation of these views, which was missed in original patch.
The vars are renamed to data_directory, config_file, hba_file, and
ident_file, and are guaranteed to be set to accurate absolute paths
during postmaster startup.
This commit does not yet do anything about hiding path values from
non-superusers.

Refactor code into something reasonably understandable, cause
use of the feature to not fail in standalone backends or in
EXEC_BACKEND case, fix sloppy guc.c table entries, make the
documentation minimally usable.
* Consider parallel processing a single query
This would involve using multiple threads or processes to do optimization,
sorting, or execution of single query. The major advantage of such a
feature would be to allow multiple CPUs to work together to process a
single query.
"make pgxs install by default". It is up to the committers to chose.
(1) there is only one "install" target. no more "install-all-headers".
it simplifies/changes several makefiles.
(2) the documentation reflects the change.
(3) a minor fix on pgxs to use a nicer patch without a double slash.

bigint variants). Clean up some inconsistencies in error message wording.
Fix scanint8 to allow trailing whitespace in INT64_MIN case. Update
int8-exp-three-digits.out, which seems to have been ignored by the last
couple of people to modify the int8 regression test, and remove
int8-exp-three-digits-win32.out which is thereby exposed as redundant.
to unreserved keyword, use ereport not elog, assign a separate error code
for 'could not obtain lock' so that applications will be able to detect
that case cleanly.
