erroring out as it has done for the last couple weeks. Document that this
form is now ignored because indexes can't usefully have different owners
from their parent tables. Fix pg_dump to not generate ALTER OWNER commands
for indexes.
in postgresql.conf.sample, mark custom_variable_classes as SIGHUP not
POSTMASTER to agree with the documentation (I can't see a reason it has
to be POSTMASTER so I think the docs are right).
other stuff; change \du and \dg to be role-aware (Stefan Kaltenbrunner).
Also make tab completion fetch the list of GUC variables from pg_settings
instead of having a hard-wired copy of the list (Tom Lane).
remember the output parameter set for himself. It's a bit of a kluge
but fixing array_in to work in bootstrap mode looks worse.
I removed the separate pg_file_length() function, as it no longer has any
real notational advantage --- you can write (pg_stat_file(...)).length.

holes in check_and_make_absolute(); other minor cleanup. Also put in
the missed catversion bump.

errors that can otherwise occur once the OID counter has wrapped around.
Duplicate relfilenode values are also checked for when creating new
physical files. Per my recent proposal.

CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CFLAGS_SL, LDFLAGS, LDFLAGS_SL, and LIBS. Change it
so that invoking pg_config with no arguments reports all available
information, rather than just giving an error message. Per discussion.

This was not especially critical before, but it is now that we track
ownership dependencies --- the dependency for the rowtype *must* shift
to the new owner. Spotted by Bernd Helmle.
Also fix a problem introduced by recent change to allow non-superusers
to do ALTER OWNER in some cases: if the table had a toast table, ALTER
OWNER failed *even for superusers*, because the test being applied would
conclude that the new would-be owner had no create rights on pg_toast.
A side-effect of the fix is to disallow changing the ownership of indexes
or toast tables separately from their parent table, which seems a good
idea on the whole.

tests for the new interval->day changes. I added tests for
justify_hours() and justify_days() to interval.sql, as they take
interval input and produce interval output. If there's a more
appropriate place for them, please let me know.

doesn't automatically inherit the privileges of roles it is a member of;
for such a role, membership in another role can be exploited only by doing
explicit SET ROLE. The default inherit setting is TRUE, so by default
the behavior doesn't change, but creating a user with NOINHERIT gives closer
adherence to our current reading of SQL99. Documentation still lacking,
and I think the information schema needs another look.
existing ones for object privileges. Update the information_schema for
roles --- pg_has_role() makes this a whole lot easier, removing the need
for most of the explicit joins with pg_user. The views should be a tad
faster now, too. Stephen Frost and Tom Lane.

for circle(polygon), which was missing; remove bogus entry for
point(lseg, lseg), which does not exist, and the documentation seemed to
describe lseg_interpt, which we already document as an operator not a
function. Also remove entry for box_intersect, which likewise is
preferentially used via the operator #.
optional arguments as text input functions, ie, typioparam OID and
atttypmod. Make all the datatypes that use typmod enforce it the same
way in typreceive as they do in typinput. This fixes a problem with
failure to enforce length restrictions during COPY FROM BINARY.
The Problem: Occassionally a DBA needs to dump a database to a new
encoding. In instances where the current encoding, (or lack of an
encoding, like SQL_ASCII) is poorly supported on the target database
server, it can be useful to dump into a particular encoding. But,
currently the only way to set the encoding of a pg_dump file is to
change client_encoding in postgresql.conf and restart postmaster.
This is more than a little awkward for production systems.

The specification of this function is as follows.
regexp_replace(source text, pattern text, replacement text, [flags
text])
returns text
Replace string that matches to regular expression in source text to
replacement text.
- pattern is regular expression pattern.
- replacement is replace string that can use '\1'-'\9', and '\&'.
'\1'-'\9': back reference to the n'th subexpression.
'\&' : entire matched string.
- flags can use the following values:
g: global (replace all)
i: ignore case
When the flags is not specified, case sensitive, replace the first
instance only.
