36da236eb3 In 'Joins between classes' in Section 5 of the tutorial we have, in
the first paragraph:

    As an example, say we wish to find all the records that
    are in the  temperature  range  of  other records. In
    effect, we need to compare the temp_lo and temp_hi
    attributes of each EMP instance to the temp_lo and
    temp_hi  attributes of all other EMP instances.

I believe that EMP should read WEATHER, as the example query that
follows joins WEATHER to itself.

EMP is often used in Oracle examples.

Regards,
Graham

BTW: new document looks very good!
And the new configure/build process seems much better then before!

Thanks!

b44e46cfce Remove error check that disallowed setval() on a sequence with cache
value greater than one.  The behavior this sought to disallow doesn't
seem any less confusing than the other behaviors of cached sequences.
Improve wording of some error messages, too.
Update documentation accordingly.  Also add an explanation that
aborted transactions do not roll back their nextval() calls; this
seems to be a FAQ, so it ought to be mentioned here...

c715fdea26 Significant cleanups in SysV IPC handling (shared mem and semaphores).
IPC key assignment will now work correctly even when multiple postmasters
are using same logical port number (which is possible given -k switch).
There is only one shared-mem segment per postmaster now, not 3.
Rip out broken code for non-TAS case in bufmgr and xlog, substitute a
complete S_LOCK emulation using semaphores in spin.c.  TAS and non-TAS
logic is now exactly the same.
When deadlock is detected, "Deadlock detected" is now the elog(ERROR)
message, rather than a NOTICE that comes out before an unhelpful ERROR.

bbea3643a3 Store current LC_COLLATE and LC_CTYPE settings in pg_control during initdb;
re-adopt these settings at every postmaster or standalone-backend startup.
This should fix problems with indexes becoming corrupt due to failure to
provide consistent locale environment for postmaster at all times.  Also,
refuse to start up a non-locale-enabled compilation in a database originally
initdb'd with a non-C locale.  Suppress LIKE index optimization if locale
is not "C" or "POSIX" (are there any other locales where it's safe?).
Issue NOTICE during initdb if selected locale disables LIKE optimization.
