output.

Tom Lane 12a47c6aca Disallow referential integrity actions from being deferred; only the
NO ACTION check is deferrable.  This seems to be a closer approximation
to what the SQL spec says than what we were doing before, and it prevents
some anomalous behaviors that are possible now that triggers can fire
during the execution of PL functions.

Tom Lane 35a5fb6863 Move expanded discussion of inheritance's limitations out of tutorial
and into ddl.sgml.  Rewrite for more completeness and (hopefully)
clarity.

Tom Lane 82433e913c Update a couple of example error messages to reflect the fact that we
don't generate constraint names like "$1" anymore.

Tom Lane 58c41712d5 Add functions pg_start_backup, pg_stop_backup to create backup label
and history files as per recent discussion.  While at it, remove
pg_terminate_backend, since we have decided we do not have time during
this release cycle to address the reliability concerns it creates.
Split the 'Miscellaneous Functions' documentation section into
'System Information Functions' and 'System Administration Functions',
which hopefully will draw the eyes of those looking for such things.
