Tom Lane 33f5bf9700 ALTER TABLE OWNER must change the ownership of the table's rowtype too.
This was not especially critical before, but it is now that we track
ownership dependencies --- the dependency for the rowtype *must* shift
to the new owner.  Spotted by Bernd Helmle.
Also fix a problem introduced by recent change to allow non-superusers
to do ALTER OWNER in some cases: if the table had a toast table, ALTER
OWNER failed *even for superusers*, because the test being applied would
conclude that the new would-be owner had no create rights on pg_toast.
A side-effect of the fix is to disallow changing the ownership of indexes
or toast tables separately from their parent table, which seems a good
idea on the whole.

Bruce Momjian a85e5d1b1b Add description:
< 	  This would require a new global table that is dumped to flat file for
< 	  use by the postmaster.  We do a similar thing for pg_shadow currently.
> 	  This would add a function to load the SQL table from
>           pg_hba.conf, and one to writes its contents to the flat file.
> 	  The table should have a line number that is a float so rows
> 	  can be inserted between existing rows, e.g. row 2.5 goes
> 	  between row 2 and row 3.

Bruce Momjian b2b6548c79 Please find attached diffs for documentation and simple regression
tests for the new interval->day changes. I added tests for
justify_hours() and justify_days() to interval.sql, as they take
interval input and produce interval output. If there's a more
appropriate place for them, please let me know.

Tom Lane 58d214e51f Basic documentation for ROLEs. The user-manag chapter still needs to

Tom Lane af019fb9ae Add a role property 'rolinherit' which, when false, denotes that the role
doesn't automatically inherit the privileges of roles it is a member of;
for such a role, membership in another role can be exploited only by doing
explicit SET ROLE.  The default inherit setting is TRUE, so by default
the behavior doesn't change, but creating a user with NOINHERIT gives closer
adherence to our current reading of SQL99.  Documentation still lacking,
and I think the information schema needs another look.

Tom Lane f9fd176461 Add pg_has_role() family of privilege inquiry functions modeled after the
existing ones for object privileges.  Update the information_schema for
roles --- pg_has_role() makes this a whole lot easier, removing the need
for most of the explicit joins with pg_user.  The views should be a tad
faster now, too.  Stephen Frost and Tom Lane.
