In incorperates changes from myself and a number of contributors.
This update to dbmirror provides:
-replication of sequence operations via setval/nextval
-DBMirror.pl support for logging to syslog
-changed the names of the tables to dbmirror_* (no quotes required)
-Support for writitng SQL statements to files instead of directly to
a slave database
-More options for DBMirror.pl in the config files.

Make btree index creation and initial validation of foreign-key constraints
use maintenance_work_mem rather than work_mem as their memory limit.
Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their
old names in SHOW and SET commands, for backwards compatibility.
pg_autovacuum looses track of any table that's ever been truncated
(possibly other situations too). When i truncate a table it gets a
new relfilenode in pg_class. This is a problem because pg_autovacuum
assumes pg_class.relfilenode will join to pg_stats_all_tables.relid.
pg_stats_all_tables.relid is actallly the oid from pg_class, not the
relfilenode. These two values start out equal so pg_autovacuum works
initially, but it fails later on because of this incorrect assumption.
This patch fixes that problem. Applied to HEAD and 7.4.X.

not initialized if a log file is not specified on the command line. This
causes an immediate segfault on systems that fill allocated memory with some
value other than zero (my FreeBSD machine uses 0xD0).
Several crashes later I discovered that args->user, password, host, and port
are also used without being initialized.
This doesn't appear to be fixed in CVS and I came up empty on a mailing list
search -- hope it hasn't been reported already.

pghackers proposal of 8-Nov. All the existing cross-type comparison
operators (int2/int4/int8 and float4/float8) have appropriate support.
The original proposal of storing the right-hand-side datatype as part of
the primary key for pg_amop and pg_amproc got modified a bit in the event;
it is easier to store zero as the 'default' case and only store a nonzero
when the operator is actually cross-type. Along the way, remove the
long-since-defunct bigbox_ops operator class.
Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism
that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to
strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the
first place is simpler and faster.
This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index
operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize()
API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those
changes before the tree drifts under me.
-References to older versions of PostgreSQL have been removed(It no
longer
compiles against older versions)
-Added a link to PgPerl at GBorg.

areas are for the lifetime of the backend and in the interests of not breaking
something that's not broken I left alone.
Note for anyone reading this and wanting it for tsearch-v2-stable (i.e. for 7.3
backend) this patch probably will not apply cleanly to that source. It should
be simple enough to see what's going on and apply the changes by hand if need
be.

The 'word' variable there is initialised from
the prs->words array, but immediately after,
that array may be reallocated, thus leaving
word pointing to unallocated memory.
tests) when using flex 2.5.31. The fix is to *not* try to use palloc
and pfree for allocations within the lexer; when you do that, the
yy_buffer_stack gets freed at inopportune times. The code is already
set up to do manual deallocation, so I see no particular advantage to
using palloc anyway.
This was the last piece of code that took it upon itself to reset the
random number sequence --- now we only have srandom() in postmaster start,
backend start, and explicit setseed() operations.

I had to make a further change to this to take quotes off the 'last
ANALYZE' in order for it to not overquote the relation name, so
there's a _little_ work left to get it to play well.
I have deployed it onto several boxes that should be doing some
vacuuming over the weekend, and it is now certainly hitting pg_
tables.
I would like to present a CVS-oriented patch; unfortunately, I had to
change the indentation patterns when editing some of it :-(. The
following _may_ be good; not sure...

> keywords for clarity.
Yeah, this is basically what I meant, sorry I didn't get to it quicker.
However, I tested it out a little and the patch you made doesn't work
because it produces commands like:
VACUUM ANALYZE "public.FooBar"
Which doesn't work, so I made my own patch that creates commands like:
VACUUM ANALYZE "public"."FooBar"
This allows for mixed case schema names as well as tables.
Adam, can you please give this a test as you are the person who caught
the bug in the first place.
Thanks,

ALTER TABLE mytable drop column last_column_of_table;
the timetravel trigger say on UPDATE/DELETE:
ERROR: parser: parse error at end of input
Here is the patch for this bug

getopt_long(). This is more or less the same problem as we saw earlier
with getaddrinfo() and struct addrinfo, and for the same reason: random
user-added libraries might contain the subroutine, but there's no
guarantee we will find the matching header files.
There is an option "-s oldname=newname", which changes the old field name of
the dbf-file to the newname in PostgeSQL. If the length of the new name is 0,
the field is skiped. If you want to skip the first field of the dbf-file,
you get the wildest error-messages from the backend.
dbf2pg load the dbf-file via "COPY tablename FROM STDIN". If you skip the
first field, it is an \t to much in STDIN.
A fix could be an counter j=0, which increments only, if a field is imported
(IF (strlen(fields[h].db_name)> 0) j++. And only if j > 1 (if an other field is
imported) the \t is printed.
An other small bug in the README:
-s start
Specify the first record-number in the xBase-file
we will insert.
should be
-e start
Specify the first record-number in the xBase-file
we will insert.

the new timetravel.c,
new timetravel.README (cut from spi/README and modified),
modified timetravel.sql.in
and modified timetravel.example.
Features:
- optionally 3 parameter for insert/update/delete user name
- work with CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ixxx on table xxx
(unique_field,time_off);
(the original version was work with unique index on 6.5.0-6.5.3,
and not work on 7.3.2,7.3.3)
(before 6.5.0 and between 6.5.3 and 7.3.2 I dont know)
- get_timetravel(tablename) function for check timetravel-status.
- timetravel trigger not change oid of the active record. (it is not a
good feature, because the old version is automatice prevent the paralel
update with "where oid=nnn")
