c1f91a38e2 Fix rewrite code so that rules are in fact executed in order by name,
rather than being reordered according to INSTEAD attribute for
implementation convenience.
Also, increase compiled-in recursion depth limit from 10 to 100 rewrite
cycles.  10 seems pretty marginal for situations where multiple rules
exist for the same query.  There was a complaint about this recently,
so I'm going to bump it up.  (Perhaps we should make the limit a GUC
parameter, but that's too close to being a new feature to do in beta.)

44dc9c1faa Fix psql's \copy to accept table names containing schemas, as well as
a column list.  Bring its parsing of quoted names and quoted strings
somewhat up to speed --- I believe it now handles all non-error cases
the same way the backend would, but weird boundary conditions are not
necessarily done the same way.

8fc1f413f4 - Link the entries in the table to the catalog heading
- Wrap them in the <database class="table"> tags, since thats what they
are (no markup rules for this, so it inherits from parent -- no style
change)
- Mention that pg_database, pg_shadow, and pg_group are global, and the
rest are local to the specific DB. (I believe this is correct).

Ok, new patch.

discussion some weeks ago.  Also, add a check that two types to be
binary-equivalenced match as to typlen, typbyval, and typalign; if
they don't then it's surely a mistake to equivalence them.

documentation to explain how and why to use these switches.

909a8377db The valid return value should be MODIFY instead of MODIFIED.
The error message said so :-)

In 25.3. Using PL/Python

        If the trigger "when" is BEFORE, you may return None or "OK"
        from the Python function to indicate the tuple is unmodified, "SKIP"
        to abort the event, or "MODIFIED" to indicate you've modified the tuple.
