c05f29e895 Augment the date/time examples in the User's Guide to reflect the newer
capabilities of specifying time zones as intervals per SQL9x.
Put refentrytitle contents on the same line as the tag.
 Otherwise, leading whitespace is propagated into the product, which
 (at least) messes up the ToC layout.
Remove (some) docinfo tags containing dates. Best to omit if the dates
 are not accurate; maybe use CVS dates instead or leave them out.

f933766ba7 Restructure pg_opclass, pg_amop, and pg_amproc per previous discussions in
pgsql-hackers.  pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name.  This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.

Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.

Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane.

initdb forced.

246793469e Modify partial-index-predicate applicability tester to test whether
clauses are equal(), before trying to match them up using btree opclass
inference rules.  This allows it to recognize many simple cases involving
non-btree operations, for example 'x IS NULL'.  Clean up code a little.

f31dc0ada7 Partial indexes work again, courtesy of Martijn van Oosterhout.
Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough.
However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be
able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.

c590273fef Clean up bogosities in pg_opclass, pg_amop, pg_amproc. There are amproc
entries now for int8 and network hash indexes.  int24_ops and int42_ops
are gone.  pg_opclass no longer contains multiple entries claiming to be
the default opclass for the same datatype.  opr_sanity regress test
extended to catch errors like these in the future.

a4ac2f458e Fix markup for docbook2man man page generation.
No big deal; fixed lots of other markup at the same time.
Bigest change: make sure there is no whitespace
 in front of <term> contents.
This will probably help the other output types too.

6866cbc7c7 Very minor formatting fixup in the refentry id field to remove
the trailing "-1". This makes a cleaner html output file name.
