Tom Lane 0a4048646b Document all the system views created by initdb (several of these were
never documented anywhere, sigh).  Centralize the detailed documentation
of system views into catalogs.sgml, and provide cross-references.

Bruce Momjian cde8bbc413 This patch makes the following changes to the documentation:

Ok, fair enough. I've attached a revised version of the patch -- let me
know you think it needs further improvements.

Bruce Momjian 82119a696e [ Newest version of patch applied.]
This patch is an updated version of the lock listing patch. I've made
the following changes:

    - write documentation
    - wrap the SRF in a view called 'pg_locks': all user-level
      access should be done through this view
    - re-diff against latest CVS

One thing I chose not to do is adapt the SRF to use the anonymous
composite type code from Joe Conway. I'll probably do that eventually,
but I'm not really convinced it's a significantly cleaner way to
bootstrap SRF builtins than the method this patch uses (of course, it
has other uses...)

Peter Eisentraut 6f4a9fb119 Add User's Guide chapters on Data Definition and Data Manipulation.
Still needs to be filled with more information, but it gives us a
framework to have a User's Guide with complete coverage of the basic
SQL operations.  Move arrays into data type chapter, inheritance into
DDL chapter (for now).

Make <comment>s show up in the output while the version number ends in
"devel".

Allow cross-book references with entities &cite-user; etc.

Thomas G. Lockhart 2475e87481 Deprecate 'current' for date/time input.
Fix up references to "PostgreSQL" rather than "Postgres". Was roughly
 evenly split between the two before. ref/ files not yet done.

Thomas G. Lockhart e6767a3205 Final markup for 7.1 hardcopy release. Mostly typo and table-fitting
adjustments. Note that many tables are being abused with *really* long
 description columns. Should probably shrink those columns to be more
 concise, and move some of the info to follow-on reference notes.
