Tom Lane 8a10096440 information_schema.key_column_usage.position_in_unique_constraint was
misdocumented as not being implemented.  In reality it has worked since
the release of 8.2.

Tom Lane a0b76dc662 Create a separate grantable privilege for TRUNCATE, rather than having it be
always owner-only.  The TRUNCATE privilege works identically to the DELETE
privilege so far as interactions with the rest of the system go.

Bruce Momjian a134ee3379 Update documentation on may/can/might:
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

Tom Lane 7bae5a289c Get rid of the separate RULE privilege for tables: now only a table's owner
can create or modify rules for the table.  Do setRuleCheckAsUser() while
loading rules into the relcache, rather than when defining a rule.  This
ensures that permission checks for tables referenced in a rule are done with
respect to the current owner of the rule's table, whereas formerly ALTER TABLE
OWNER would fail to update the permission checking for associated rules.
Removal of separate RULE privilege is needed to prevent various scenarios
in which a grantee of RULE privilege could effectively have any privilege
of the table owner.  For backwards compatibility, GRANT/REVOKE RULE is still
accepted, but it doesn't do anything.  Per discussion here:

you'd need to do one to get the improved view.
