to handle memory management for char pointers returned by libpq functions.
Original patch by Gavin Sherry, some tweaking and consistency improvements
by Neil Conway.
that it's good to join where there are join clauses rather than where there
are not. Also enable it to generate bushy plans at need, so that it doesn't
fail in the presence of multiple IN clauses containing sub-joins. These
changes appear to improve the behavior enough that we can substantially reduce
the default pool size and generations count, thereby decreasing the runtime,
and yet get as good or better plans as we were getting in 7.4. Consequently,
adjust the default GEQO parameters. I also modified the way geqo_effort is
used so that it affects both population size and number of generations;
it's now useful as a single control to adjust the GEQO runtime-vs-plan-quality
tradeoff. Bump geqo_threshold to 12, since even with these changes GEQO
seems to be slower than the regular planner at 11 relations.
default value for geqo_effort is supposed to be 40, not 1. The actual
'genetic' component of the GEQO algorithm has been practically disabled
since 7.1 because of this mistake. Improve documentation while at it.
source the \copy came from. Also, fix prompting logic so that initial
and per-line prompts appear for all cases of reading from an interactive
terminal. Patch by Mark Feit, with some kibitzing by Tom Lane.
characters, as for fancy colorized prompts. This was nearly a direct
lift from bash-2.05b's lib/readline/display.c, per guidance from Chet Ramey.

intended to allow application authors to insulate themselves from
changes to the default value of 'default_with_oids' in future releases
of PostgreSQL.
This patch also fixes a bug in the earlier implementation of the
'default_with_oids' GUC variable: code in gram.y should not examine
the value of GUC variables directly due to synchronization issues.
ignore SIGPIPE from send() in libpq, but terminate on any other SIGPIPE,
unless the user installs their own signal handler.
This is a minor fix because the only time you get SIGPIPE from libpq's
send() is when the backend dies.
parameters to be declared with names. pg_proc has a column to store
names, and CREATE FUNCTION can insert data into it, but that's all as
yet. I need to do more work on the pg_dump and plpgsql portions of the
patch before committing those, but I thought I'd get the bulky changes
in before the tree drifts under me.
initdb forced due to pg_proc change.
