90e1ac9292 Add index mention:
<P>In pre-8.0 releases, indexes often can not be used unless the data
    types exactly match the index's column types.  This is particularly
    true of int2, int8, and numeric column indexes.</P>

8c603f2c95 Replace log_filename_prefix with more general log_filename parameter,
to allow DBA to choose the form in which log filenames reflect the
current time.  Also allow for truncating instead of appending to
pre-existing files --- this is convenient when the log filename pattern
rewrites the same names cyclically.  Per Ed L.

50742aed68 Add WAL logging for CREATE/DROP DATABASE and CREATE/DROP TABLESPACE.
Fix TablespaceCreateDbspace() to be able to create a dummy directory
in place of a dropped tablespace's symlink.  This eliminates the open
problem of a PANIC during WAL replay when a replayed action attempts
to touch a file in a since-deleted tablespace.  It also makes for a
significant improvement in the usability of PITR replay.
