directly. This was a lot of trouble, but should be worth it in terms of
not having to keep the plpgsql lexer in step with core anymore. In addition
the handling of keywords is significantly better-structured, allowing us to
de-reserve a number of words that plpgsql formerly treated as reserved.
mainloop.c. This ensures that postgres_fe.h is read before including
any system headers, which is necessary to avoid problems on some platforms
where we make nondefault selections of feature macros for stdio.h or
other headers. We have had this policy for flex modules in the backend
for many years, but for some reason it was not applied to psql.
Per trouble report from Alexandra Roy and diagnosis by Albe Laurenz.
ASCII-art style of table output to be upgraded to use Unicode box drawing
characters if desired. By default, psql will use the Unicode characters
whenever client_encoding is UTF8.
The patch forces linestyle=ascii in pg_regress usage, ensuring we don't
break the regression tests in Unicode locales.

Create a new catalog pg_db_role_setting where they are now stored, and better
encapsulate the code that deals with settings into its realm. The old
datconfig and rolconfig columns are removed.
psql has gained a \drds command to display the settings.
Backwards compatibility warning: while the backwards-compatible system views
still have the config columns, they no longer completely represent the
configuration for a user or database.
Catalog version bumped.
the privileges that will be applied to subsequently-created objects.
Such adjustments are always per owning role, and can be restricted to objects
created in particular schemas too. A notable benefit is that users can
override the traditional default privilege settings, eg, the PUBLIC EXECUTE
privilege traditionally granted by default for functions.

Instead of requiring translators to translate the entire SQL command
synopses, change create_help.pl to only require them to translate the
placeholders, and paste those into the synopsis using a printf mechanism.
Make some small updates to the markup to make it easier to parse.
Note: This causes msgmerge of gettext 0.17 to segfault. You will need
the patch from https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27474 to make it work.
msgmerge usually only runs on babel.postgresql.org, however.
append_history(), if libreadline is new enough to have those functions
(they seem to be present at least since 4.2; but libedit may not have them).
This gives significantly saner behavior when two or more sessions overlap in
their use of the history file; although having two sessions exit at just the
same time is still perilous to your history. The behavior of \s remains
unchanged, ie, overwrite whatever was there.
Per bug #5052 from Marek Wójtowicz.
source directory even for out-of-tree builds. They are now alsl built in
the build tree. This should be more convenient for certain developers'
workflows, and shouldn't really break anything else.
Update install-sh to that from Autoconf 2.63, plus our Darwin-specific
changes (which I simplified a bit). install-sh is now able to install
multiple files in one run, so we could simplify our makefiles sometime.
install-sh also now has a -d option to create directories, so we don't need
mkinstalldirs anymore.
Use AC_PROG_MKDIR_P in configure.in, so we can use mkdir -p when available
instead of install-sh -d. For consistency with the rest of the world,
the corresponding make variable has been renamed from $(mkinstalldirs) to
$(MKDIR_P).
#include the version of history.h that is in the same directory as the
readline.h we are using. This avoids problems in some scenarios where both
readline and editline are installed. Report and patch by Zdenek Kotala.
when we reach the post-COPY "pump it dry" error recovery code that was added
2006-11-24. Per a report from Neil Best, there is at least one code path
in which this occurs, leading to an infinite loop in code that's supposed
to be making it more robust not less so. A reasonable response seems to be
to call PQputCopyEnd() again, so let's try that.
Back-patch to all versions that contain the cleanup loop.
The current implementation fires an AFTER ROW trigger for each tuple that
looks like it might be non-unique according to the index contents at the
time of insertion. This works well as long as there aren't many conflicts,
but won't scale to massive unique-key reassignments. Improving that case
is a TODO item.

For servers older than 8.3, sort display of child tables by relname instead
of oid::regclass::text, because the cast from regclass to text did not work
back then. The older display may be slightly worse when different schemas
are involved, but that should be rare enough.
Safely schema-qualify the pg_get_indexdef call, make the query a bit
prettier in -E mode, remove useless join to pg_index, make it more obvious
that the header[] array is not overrun.
This adds a column called "Definition" to the output of psql \d on an
index, which shows the full expression behind the index column. For indexes
on plain columns, this is redundant, but for expression indexes, this
reveals the real expression.

As per discussion, \d shows only the number of child tables, because that
could be hundreds, when used for partitioning. \d+ shows the actual list.

used to work as intended, but got broken some time ago (a quoted empty string
is not an empty string), and got broken some more by the changes to generate
ecpg's preproc.y automatically. Given all the unprotected uses of $(PERL)
elsewhere, it seems best to make use of the $(missing) script rather than
trying to ensure each such use is protected individually. Also fix various
bits of documentation that omitted to mention Perl as a requirement for
building from a CVS pull. Per a complaint from Robert Haas.
