a276392e52 Update example of partially constraining join order to use a subselect
in FROM instead of an auxiliary view.  We didn't have subselect-in-FROM
when I wrote this originally...

c3b00e7e29 Add --template option to createdb script to allow access to WITH TEMPLATE
option of CREATE DATABASE.  In pg_regress, create regression database
from template0 to ensure that any installation-local cruft in template1
will not mess up the tests.

48d03278a2 Enhance documentation of date/time functions. Add extract, current_date,
current_time, current_timestamp.  Add more examples.  Remove age(), because
it doesn't work like it is documented, and no one could explain it to me.

to ON and USING for specifying the join condition, not as an independent
kind of join semantics.

d42d31e78e Alter documentation of boolean type, add example. Someone figured that it
wasn't clear that the "boolean type" was actually called "boolean".  Add
tip about "casting" booleans using CASE.

Spell check whole file.

d08741eab5 Restructure the key include files per recent pghackers discussion: there
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively.  By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory.  There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
