to format properly for the actually needed column width, instead of having
a hard-wired assumption about the longest command name length. Also make it
respond to the current screen width. In passing, const-ify the constant

psql's \d commands and other uses of printQuery(). Previously we would pass
these strings through gettext() and then send them to the server as literals
in the SQL query. But the code was not set up to handle doubling of quotes in
the strings, causing failure if a translation attempted to use the wrong kind
of quote marks, as indeed is now the case for (at least) the French
translation of \dFp. Another hazard was that gettext() would translate to
whatever encoding was implied by the client's LC_CTYPE setting, which might be
different from the client_encoding setting, which would probably cause the
server to reject the query as mis-encoded. The new arrangement is to send the
untranslated ASCII strings to the server, and do the translations inside
printQuery() after the query results come back. Per report from Guillaume
Lelarge and subsequent discussion.
useful and confuses people who think it is the same as -U. (Eventually
we might want to re-introduce it as being an alias for -U, but that should
not happen until the switch has actually not been there for a few releases.)
Likewise in pg_dump and pg_restore. Per gripe from Robert Treat and
subsequent discussion.
PQconnectionNeedsPassword function that tells the right thing for whether to
prompt for a password, and improve PQconnectionUsedPassword so that it checks
whether the password used by the connection was actually supplied as a
connection argument, instead of coming from environment or a password file.

renumbering of encoding IDs done between 8.2 and 8.3 turns out to break 8.2
initdb and psql if they are run with an 8.3beta1 libpq.so. For the moment
we can rearrange the order of enum pg_enc to keep the same number for
everything except PG_JOHAB, which isn't a problem since there are no direct
references to it in the 8.2 programs anyway. (This does force initdb
unfortunately.)
Going forward, we want to fix things so that encoding IDs can be changed
without an ABI break, and this commit includes the changes needed to allow
libpq's encoding IDs to be treated as fully independent of the backend's.
The main issue is that libpq clients should not include pg_wchar.h or
otherwise assume they know the specific values of libpq's encoding IDs,
since they might encounter version skew between pg_wchar.h and the libpq.so
they are using. To fix, have libpq officially export functions needed for
encoding name<=>ID conversion and validity checking; it was doing this
anyway unofficially.
It's still the case that we can't renumber backend encoding IDs until the
next bump in libpq's major version number, since doing so will break the
8.2-era client programs. However the code is now prepared to avoid this
type of problem in future.
Note that initdb is no longer a libpq client: we just pull in the two
source files we need directly. The patch also fixes a few places that
were being sloppy about checking for an unrecognized encoding name.
duplicative -DFRONTEND flags from many Makefiles. We still need Makefile
control of the symbol in a few places that compile frontend-or-backend
src/port/ files, but it's a lot cleaner than before.

* adds a few missing words to some commands (like adding GIN as a valid
index type or OWNED BY for ALTER SEQUENCE,...)
* support for ALTER TABLE foo ENABLE/DISABLE REPLICA TRIGGER/RULE
* autocomplete CREATE DATABASE foo TEMPLATE (mostly done to prevent
conflicts with the TEMPLATE keyword for text search)
* support for ALTER/CREATE/DROP TEXT SEARCH as well as COMMENT ON TEXT
SEARCH and the corresponding psql backslash commands.
This proved a little more difficult than expected due to the fact that
words_after_create[] is used for two purposes - one is to provide a list
of words that follow immediatly after CREATE (or DROP) and the other
purpose is to use it for autocompleting anywhere in the statement if the
word in that struct is found with a query.
Since TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION|DICTIONARY|TEMPLATE|PARSER results in 3
words instead of one (as all the other words in that list are) I added a
flag to the struct to tell create_command_generator() to skip that entry
for autocompleting immediatly after CREATE which feels like a dirty
hack (but that holds true for a lot of code in tab-complete.c).

so anything that's broken is probably my fault.
Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.
named pg_toast_temp_nnn, alongside the pg_temp_nnn schemas used for the temp
tables themselves. This allows low-level code such as the relcache to
recognize that these tables are indeed temporary, which enables various
optimizations such as not WAL-logging changes and using local rather than
shared buffers for access. Aside from obvious performance benefits, this
provides a solution to bug #3483, in which other backends unexpectedly held
open file references to temporary tables. The scheme preserves the property
that TOAST tables are not in any schema that's normally in the search path,
so they don't conflict with user table names.

we might be able to localize that error message, but not until this
coding technique has disappeared everywhere.
Sequences and views could previously be renamed using ALTER TABLE, but
this was a repeated source of confusion for users. Update the docs,
and psql tab completion. Patch from David Fetter; various minor fixes
by myself.

available to clients that are executing long-running SELECT queries
via the FETCH_COUNT feature.
we can complete "TABLE". The previous coding only looked for "CREATE TEMP".
Note that I didn't add TEMPORARY to the list of suggested completions
after we've seen "CREATE", since TEMP is equivalent and more concise. But
if the user has already manually typed TEMPORARY, we may as well
complete TABLE for them.
RESET SESSION, RESET PLANS, and RESET TEMP are now DISCARD ALL,
DISCARD PLANS, and DISCARD TEMP, respectively. This is to avoid
confusion with the pre-existing RESET variants: the DISCARD
commands are not actually similar to RESET. Patch from Marko
Kreen, with some minor editorialization.
A DBA is allowed to create a language in his database if it's marked
"tmpldbacreate" in pg_pltemplate. The factory default is that this is set
for all standard trusted languages, but of course a superuser may adjust
the settings. In service of this, add the long-foreseen owner column to
pg_language; renaming, dropping, and altering owner of a PL now follow
normal ownership rules instead of being superuser-only.

rules to be defined with different, per session controllable, behaviors
for replication purposes.
This will allow replication systems like Slony-I and, as has been stated
on pgsql-hackers, other products to control the firing mechanism of
triggers and rewrite rules without modifying the system catalog directly.
The firing mechanisms are controlled by a new superuser-only GUC
variable, session_replication_role, together with a change to
pg_trigger.tgenabled and a new column pg_rewrite.ev_enabled. Both
columns are a single char data type now (tgenabled was a bool before).
The possible values in these attributes are:
'O' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "origin"
(default) or "local". This is the default behavior.
'D' - Trigger/Rule is disabled and fires never
'A' - Trigger/Rule fires always regardless of the setting of
session_replication_role
'R' - Trigger/Rule fires when session_replication_role is "replica"
The GUC variable can only be changed as long as the system does not have
any cached query plans. This will prevent changing the session role and
accidentally executing stored procedures or functions that have plans
cached that expand to the wrong query set due to differences in the rule
firing semantics.
The SQL syntax for changing a triggers/rules firing semantics is
ALTER TABLE <tabname> <when> TRIGGER|RULE <name>;
<when> ::= ENABLE | ENABLE ALWAYS | ENABLE REPLICA | DISABLE
psql's \d command as well as pg_dump are extended in a backward
compatible fashion.

equality checks it applies, instead of a random dependence on whatever
operators might be named "=". The equality operators will now be selected
from the opfamily of the unique index that the FK constraint depends on to
enforce uniqueness of the referenced columns; therefore they are certain to be
consistent with that index's notion of equality. Among other things this
should fix the problem noted awhile back that pg_dump may fail for foreign-key
constraints on user-defined types when the required operators aren't in the
search path. This also means that the former warning condition about "foreign
key constraint will require costly sequential scans" is gone: if the
comparison condition isn't indexable then we'll reject the constraint
entirely. All per past discussions.
Along the way, make the RI triggers look into pg_constraint for their
information, instead of using pg_trigger.tgargs; and get rid of the always
error-prone fixed-size string buffers in ri_triggers.c in favor of building up
the RI queries in StringInfo buffers.
