d4c6da1527 Allow GIN's extractQuery method to signal that nothing can satisfy the query.
In this case extractQuery should returns -1 as nentries. This changes
prototype of extractQuery method to use int32* instead of uint32* for
nentries argument.
Based on that gincostestimate may see two corner cases: nothing will be found
or seqscan should be used.

Per proposal at http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2007-01/msg01581.php

PS tsearch_core patch should be sightly modified to support changes, but I'm
waiting a verdict about reviewing of tsearch_core patch.

4ed9f1d9b7 Update documentation for backslashes to mention escape string syntax
more, and standard_conforming_strings less, because in the future non-E
strings will not treat backslashes specially.

Also use E'' strings where backslashes are used in examples. (The
existing examples would have drawn warnings.)

Backpatch to 8.2.X.

22bd156ff0 Various fixes in the logic of XML functions:
- Add new SQL command SET XML OPTION (also available via regular GUC) to
  control the DOCUMENT vs. CONTENT option in implicit parsing and
  serialization operations.

- Subtle corrections in the handling of the standalone property in
  xmlroot().

- Allow xmlroot() to work on content fragments.

- Subtle corrections in the handling of the version property in
  xmlconcat().

- Code refactoring for producing XML declarations.

5a7471c307 Add COST and ROWS options to CREATE/ALTER FUNCTION, plus underlying pg_proc
columns procost and prorows, to allow simple user adjustment of the estimated
cost of a function call, as well as control of the estimated number of rows
returned by a set-returning function.  We might eventually wish to extend this
to allow function-specific estimation routines, but there seems to be
consensus that we should try a simple constant estimate first.  In particular
this provides a relatively simple way to control the order in which different
WHERE clauses are applied in a plan node, which is a Good Thing in view of the
fact that the recent EquivalenceClass planner rewrite made that much less
predictable than before.

fcf4b146c6 Simplify pg_am representation of ordering-capable access methods:
provide just a boolean 'amcanorder', instead of fields that specify the
sort operator strategy numbers.  We have decided to require ordering-capable
AMs to use btree-compatible strategy numbers, so the old fields are
overkill (and indeed misleading about what's allowed).

f41803bb39 Refactor planner's pathkeys data structure to create a separate, explicit
representation of equivalence classes of variables.  This is an extensive
rewrite, but it brings a number of benefits:
* planner no longer fails in the presence of "incomplete" operator families
that don't offer operators for every possible combination of datatypes.
* avoid generating and then discarding redundant equality clauses.
* remove bogus assumption that derived equalities always use operators
named "=".
* mergejoins can work with a variety of sort orders (e.g., descending) now,
instead of tying each mergejoinable operator to exactly one sort order.
* better recognition of redundant sort columns.
* can make use of equalities appearing underneath an outer join.
