OK, here is a patch that implements #1.  Here is sample output:

        test=> set client_min_messages = 'log';
        SET
        test=> set log_statement = 'mod';
        SET
        test=> select 1;
         ?column?
        ----------
                1
        (1 row)

        test=> update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> copy test from '/tmp/x';
        LOG:  statement: copy test from '/tmp/x';
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> copy test to  '/tmp/x';
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> prepare xx as select 1;
        PREPARE
        test=> prepare xx as update x set y=1;
        LOG:  statement: prepare xx as update x set y=1;
        ERROR:  relation "x" does not exist
        test=> explain analyze select 1;;
                                             QUERY PLAN
        ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
         Result  (cost=0.00..0.01 rows=1 width=0) (actual time=0.006..0.007 rows=1 loops=1)
         Total runtime: 0.046 ms
        (2 rows)

        test=> explain analyze update test set x=1;
        LOG:  statement: explain analyze update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist
        test=> explain update test set x=1;
        ERROR:  relation "test" does not exist

It checks PREPARE and EXECUTE ANALYZE too.  The log_statement values are
'none', 'mod', 'ddl', and 'all'.  For 'all', it prints before the query
is parsed, and for ddl/mod, it does it right after parsing using the
node tag (or command tag for CREATE/ALTER/DROP), so any non-parse errors
will print after the log line.

Tom Lane 375369acd1 Replace TupleTableSlot convention for whole-row variables and function
results with tuples as ordinary varlena Datums.  This commit does not
in itself do much for us, except eliminate the horrid memory leak
associated with evaluation of whole-row variables.  However, it lays the
groundwork for allowing composite types as table columns, and perhaps
some other useful features as well.  Per my proposal of a few days ago.

1.  In keeping with the recent discussion that there should be more

2.  Some formatting changes to the datetime discussion, as well as
addition of a citation of a relevant book on calendars.

Tom Lane 24614a9880 Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, and
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor
of doing a regular DROP.  Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely
correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column.  This fixes
problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by
Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an
OID column that was inherited from a parent.

Neil Conway ee33fe889e Significant improvements to the documentation for the new cost-based
vacuum delay feature, including updating the docs for Tom's recent
improvements. There is still more work to be done here: for example,
adding some more information on the practical use of cost-based
vacuum delay to the "maintenance" section would probably be a good
idea.

Bruce Momjian c53611e3e7 This patch brings up to date what I did last year (now unfortunately
bitrotted) to allow the logging of the end of a session, enabled by
the config setting "log_disconnections".

Tom Lane f0c9397f80 First steps towards statistics on expressional (nee functional) indexes.
This commit teaches ANALYZE to store such stats in pg_statistic, but
nothing is done yet about teaching the planner to use 'em.
Also, repair longstanding oversight in separate ANALYZE command: it
updated the pg_class.relpages and reltuples counts for the table proper,
but not for indexes.

A better workaround for the sentence would be something like:

        "and it also happens that the user always has permission"

Looks easier to read, I think.
