Tom Lane 10c70b8602 Add note about space usage of 'manual' approach to clustering, per
suggestion from Sergey Koposov.  Also some other minor editing.

Tom Lane 6fada49805 Correct documentation error: in 8.1 and 8.2, %p in archive and restore
command strings inserts relative not absolute path of file to process.
This is a side-effect of 2005-07-04 change that makes the server use
relative paths in general.  Noted by Bernd Helmle.

Tom Lane 17a814ca02 Mention 'void' as the proper return type when there's nothing to
return, per suggestion from Joachim Wieland.

Tom Lane 70ce5c9082 Fix "failed to re-find parent key" btree VACUUM failure by revising page
deletion code to avoid the case where an upper-level btree page remains "half
dead" for a significant period of time, and to block insertions into a key
range that is in process of being re-assigned to the right sibling of the
deleted page's parent.  This prevents the scenario reported by Ed L. wherein
index keys could become out-of-order in the grandparent index level.

Since this is a moderately invasive fix, I'm applying it only to HEAD.
The bug exists back to 7.4, but the back branches will get a different patch.

Tom Lane 19d0c46def pg_restore failed on tar-format archives if they contained large objects
(blobs) with comments, per bug #2727 from Konstantin Pelepelin.
Mea culpa for not having tested this case.
Back-patch to 8.1; prior branches don't dump blob comments at all.

Neil Conway bc4b856e7b Add text to the VACUUM, REINDEX, DROP TABLESPACE and CREATE TABLESPACE
reference pages documenting that these commands cannot be used within
a transaction block. Also make some minor improvements to the psql
reference page. Patch from Simon Riggs, minor editorialization by
myself.

Peter Eisentraut 0b9f93e6b0 Code the unknown options check without using m4 diversions. Otherwise this
code relies on the checking macro actually being called at the end, or the
automatic undiversion will produce garbage.  These sort of implicit
side-effects undermine the modularity of the macros and happen to break the
ODBC driver which makes use of them.

Also put the warnings at the very end of configure, so there is an even
better chance of seeing them.

Tom Lane 76d5f6f035 expression_tree_walker failed to let walker function see the immediate child
node of a SubLink or SubPlan testexpr field.  Bug resulted from replacing
the old lefthand/exprs list fields with a simple expression field, and not
remembering that expression_tree_walker is coded to save a few cycles by
recursing directly to self on list fields (on the assumption the walker
isn't interested in List nodes per se).  On non-list fields it must of
course call the walker.  Possibly that hack isn't worth the risk of more
such bugs, but I'll leave it be for now.  Per bug report from James Robinson.

Tom Lane 4df8de7a68 Fix check for whether a clauseless join has to be forced in the presence of
outer joins.  Originally it was only looking for overlap of the righthand
side of a left join, but we have to do it on the lefthand side too.
Per example from Jean-Pierre Pelletier.

Tom Lane d8221dfa6d Tweak zic.c to compile cleanly on MSVC: use CopyFile instead of
CopyFileEx.  This avoids a warning about the function not being
present on older Windows versions.  Magnus Hagander

Tatsuo Ishii a5007d671a pgbench: More fix with handling default scaling factor in the default
scenarios. With multiple clinets, only the first client got the right
scaling factor and this gave a illusion of better performance in case
of the scaling factor greater than 1.

Tom Lane 4887f5f979 Rename our substitute qsort to pg_qsort at the link-symbol level (but
provide a macro so code can still just say qsort).  Avoids linker warnings
on pickier platforms such as Darwin, and outright failure on MSVC.
