different locales. This is just syntactical sweetener over --lc-collate and
--lc-ctype. Per discussion.
While at it, properly document --lc-ctype and --lc-collate in SGML docs,
which apparently were forgotten (or purposefully ommited?) when they were
created.
it was using too soon. In a situation where pg_do_encoding_conversion is
a no-op, this led to garbage data returned.
In HEAD, also modify the code that's ensuring null termination to make it
a tad more obvious what's happening.
("there might be triggers") rather than an exact count. This is necessary
catalog infrastructure for the upcoming patch to reduce the strength of
locking needed for trigger addition/removal. Split out and committed
separately for ease of reviewing/testing.
In passing, also get rid of the unused pg_class columns relukeys, relfkeys,
and relrefs, which haven't been maintained in many years and now have no
chance of ever being maintained (because of wishing to avoid locking).

from DateStyle, and create a new interval style that produces output matching
the SQL standard (at least for interval values that fall within the standard's
restrictions). IntervalStyle is also used to resolve the conflict between the
standard and traditional Postgres rules for interpreting negative interval
input.

citext-to-and-from-xml tests, since those caused variation between
installations with or without libxml without really proving much. Instead
repurpose citext_1.out as the expected results in glibc en_US (and probably
other) locales.
(but not locked, as that would risk deadlocks). Also, make it work in a small
ring of buffers to avoid having bulk inserts trash the whole buffer arena.

each group of four hex digits.

from COMMITTED to SUBCOMMITTED during recovery. This wasn't previously
possible, but it is now due to the recent changes on clog commit protocol for
subtransactions.

to dump sequence values cope with sequences outside the search path and/or
having names that need quoting. No back-patch needed because these are new
problems in 8.4.
Kris Jurka (also a little bit of code beautification by tgl)
upon requests from backends, rather than on a fixed 500msec cycle. (There's
still throttling logic to ensure it writes no more often than once per
500msec, though.) This should result in a significant reduction in stats file
write traffic in typical scenarios where the stats are demanded only
infrequently.
This approach also means that the former difficulty with changing
stats_temp_directory on-the-fly has gone away, so remove the caution about
that as well as the thrashing we did to minimize the trouble window.
In passing, also fix pgstat_report_stat() so that we will send a stats
message if we have function call stats but not table stats to report;
this fixes a bug in the recent patch to support function-call stats.

allowed different processes to have different addresses for the shmem segment
in quite a long time, but there were still a few places left that used the
old coding convention. Clean them up to reduce confusion and improve the
compiler's ability to detect pointer type mismatches.

and heap_deformtuple in favor of the newer functions heap_form_tuple et al
(which do the same things but use bool control flags instead of arbitrary
char values). Eliminate the former duplicate coding of these functions,
reducing the deprecated functions to mere wrappers around the newer ones.
We can't get rid of them entirely because add-on modules probably still
contain many instances of the old coding style.
