dc95779679 It seems like most people don't want automatic failover so I am removing 
the item:

< 	o Automatic failover
<
< 	  The proper solution to this will probably the use of a master/slave
< 	  replication solution like Sloney and a connection pooling tool like
< 	  pgpool.

f07b9689c9 Generalize TRUNCATE to support truncating multiple tables in one 
command.  This is useful because we can allow truncation of tables
referenced by foreign keys, so long as the referencing table is
truncated in the same command.

aba691b728 Close all cursors created during a failed subtransaction. This is needed 
to avoid problems when a cursor depends on objects created or changed in
the same subtransaction.  We'd like to do better someday, but this seems
the only workable answer for 8.0.1.

>   invalidated if anyone modifies the table.  Another idea is to
