pg_database, pg_shadow, pg_group, all of which now have potentially-long
fields. Along the way, get rid of SharedSystemRelationNames list: shared
rels are now identified in their include/pg_catalog/*.h files by a
BKI_SHARED_RELATION macro, while indexes and toast rels inherit sharedness
automatically from their parent table. Fix some bugs with failure to detoast
pg_group.grolist during ALTER GROUP.
per pghackers discussion. Add some more typsanity tests, and clean
up some problems exposed thereby (broken or missing array types for
some built-in types). Also, clean up loose ends from unknownin/out
patch.
Apparently, you need to make two calls to appendPQExpBuffer() to
use fmtId() twice, because it uses a static buffer (thanks for
spotting this Tom).
Another revision of the patch is attached.

different privilege bits (might as well make use of the space we were
wasting on padding). EXECUTE and USAGE bits for procedures, languages
now are separate privileges instead of being overlaid on SELECT. Add
privileges for namespaces and databases. The GRANT and REVOKE commands
work for these object types, but we don't actually enforce the privileges
yet...
DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax adds an 'ON tablename' clause,
similar to TRIGGER syntaxes. To allow loading of existing pg_dump
files containing COMMENT ON RULE, the COMMENT code will still accept
the old syntax --- but only if the target rulename is unique across
the whole database.
selected as the creation target namespace; to make that happen, you
must explicitly set search_path that way. This makes initdb a hair
more complex but seems like a good safety feature.
some old code to add PK constraints to CREATE TABLE. That stuff
had been removed as part of my original patch for pg_dump a
little while ago.
The attached patch fixes this by removing (again :-) ) the
code in dumpTables() to perform PK creation during CREATE
TABLE. I briefly tested it locally and it fixes both of
Tom's test cases.
Please apply.
Cheers,
Neil

entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in
namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c.
Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type
coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The
current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like,
but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided
breaking regression tests as much as I could.
insert on a view), and noticed that psql wouldn't show the list of rules
set up on a view, like it does for tables.
The fix was extremely simple, so I figured I'd share it. Not sure what
the standard is for communicating these things, so I've attached the diff
file for /src/bin/psql/describe.c.

volatile), rather than the old cachable/noncachable distinction. This
allows indexscan optimizations in many places where we formerly didn't.
Also, add a pronamespace column to pg_proc (it doesn't do anything yet,
however).
records containing apostrophes in text fields without altering the appearance
of the entry in the GUI interface (by copying the fldval to fldvalfixed).
This will alleviate the need for users to create a record and then go back to
edit apostrophes into the text they entered.

A new pg_hba.conf column, USER
Allow specifiction of lists of users separated by commas
Allow group names specified by +
Allow include files containing lists of users specified by @
Allow lists of databases, and database files
Allow samegroup in database column to match group name matching dbname
Removal of secondary password files
Remove pg_passwd utility
Lots of code cleanup in user.c and hba.c
New data/global/pg_pwd format
New data/global/pg_group file
path. The default behavior if no per-user schemas are created is that
all users share a 'public' namespace, thus providing behavior backwards
compatible with 7.2 and earlier releases. Probably the semantics and
default setting will need to be fine-tuned, but this is a start.
so index is not on table during COPY.

o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.
