wrappers (similar to procedural languages). This way we don't need to retain
the nearly empty libraries, and we are more free in how to implement the
wrapper API in the future.
post-data step is run in a separate worker child (a thread on Windows, a child
process elsewhere) up to the concurrent number specified by the new pg_restore
command-line --multi-thread | -m switch.

qualifier, and add support for this in pg_dump.
This allows TOAST tables to have user-defined fillfactor, and will also
enable us to move the autovacuum parameters to reloptions without taking
away the possibility of setting values for TOAST tables.
showing system tables, make \dS pattern show system table details, and
have \dtS show system and _user_ tables, to be consistent with other \d*
commands.
array types for composite types. Although pg_dump understood it wasn't
supposed to dump these array types as separate objects, it must include
them in the dependency ordering analysis, and it was improperly assigning them
the same relatively-high sort priority as regular types. This resulted in
effectively moving composite types and tables up to that same high priority,
which broke any ordering requirements that weren't explicitly enforced by
dependencies. In particular user-defined operator classes, which should come
out before tables, failed to do so. Per report from Brendan Jurd.
In passing, also fix an ill-considered decision to give text search objects
the same sort priority as functions and operators --- the sort result looks
a lot nicer if different object types are kept separate. The recent
foreign-data patch had copied that decision, making the sort ordering even
messier :-(
It's not possible to do CREATE DATABASE inside a transaction, so previously
we just got a server error instead.
Backpatch to 8.2, which is where the -1 feature appeared.
performing dumps and restores in accordance with a security policy that
forbids logging in directly as superuser, but instead specifies that you
should log into an admin account and then SET ROLE to the superuser.
In passing, clean up some ugly and mostly-broken code for quoting shell
arguments in pg_dumpall.

In passing, fix some infelicities in the newly added \d commands for SQL-MED

so that user-defined window functions are possible. For the moment you'll
have to write them in C, for lack of any interface to the WindowObject API
in the available PLs, but it's better than no support at all.
There was some debate about the best syntax for this. I ended up choosing
the "it's an attribute" position --- the other approach will inevitably be
more work, and the likely market for user-defined window functions is
probably too small to justify it.
This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

results (ie, an empty "broken" buffer) if memory overrun occurs anywhere
along the way to filling the buffer. The previous coding would just silently
discard portions of the intended buffer contents, as exhibited in trouble
report from Sam Mason. Also, tweak psql's main loop to correctly detect
and report such overruns. There's probably much more that should be done
in this line, but this is a start.
Sort the output by command name. This previously only worked by source
file name, which doesn't always match the command name exactly. And it
certainly won't work for multiple refnames.
up a SSL connection, but psql is compiled without support for it.
Not a really realistic use-case, but the patch also cuts down on
the number of places with #ifdef's...
specifically, we can input either the "format with designators" or the
"alternative format", and we can output the former when IntervalStyle is set
to iso_8601.
