Thomas G. Lockhart 37cfb04094 Make WITHOUT TIME ZONE the default for TIMESTAMP and TIME data types.
This is a big change from past behavior, but the last release was
 designed to handle this correctly for dump/restore upgrades.
Fix up handling of SET value arguments. Allow lists for most options at
 least at the parser level; multiple values may be rejected at the
 command processor of course.
Allow more variations on values for SET commands, including integer and
 float values where formerly stringy fields were required.
Check precision specification for date/time fields against the true
 precision range allowed by the data types. Especially useful with the
 new int8-based storage for these types, where precision is fixed and
 predictable.
Stub out a basic CREATE ASSERTION per SQL9x. Does not do anything (yet) but
 should be augmented as appropriate.
Minor fixups in braces and tabbing.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains several language
bindings, including C, C++, Perl, Python, and Tcl, as well as drivers
for JDBC and ODBC.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
