updated the pg_class.relpages and reltuples counts for the table proper,

A better workaround for the sentence would be something like:

Tom Lane 3969f2924b Revise GEQO planner to make use of some heuristic knowledge about SQL, namely
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.

Tom Lane 672a807028 Repair error apparently introduced in the initial coding of GUC: the
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.

Tom Lane 04cc4e18dd Implement '\copy from -' to support reading copy data from the same

expressions supported by CREATE SCHEMA.

plenty more work is needed here.

Neil Conway 98dcf085e3 Implement "WITH / WITHOID OIDS" clause for CREATE TABLE AS. This is
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.

Bruce Momjian 0150dbdce5 Allow libpq to do thread-safe SIGPIPE handling. This allows it to
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.

Tom Lane a77e32d7c5 Apply the core parts of Dennis Bjorklund's patch to allow function
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.
