Bruce Momjian bf4507e3af I think it's important that it's actually documented that they can add
primary keys after the fact!

Also, we need to add regression tests for alter table / add primary key
and alter table / drop constraint.  These shouldn't be added until 7.3
tho
methinks...

Bruce Momjian a966ac1df0 Clarify params to ALTER TABLE to clearly show single parameters.

Tom Lane 1392042346 Point out that --adduser actually makes the new user a superuser. This
was mentioned on the man page for the underlying CREATE USER command,
but it should be explained here too.

Tom Lane 9832a235c5 Modify COPY TO to emit carriage returns and newlines as backslash escapes
(backslash-r, backslash-n) for protection against newline-conversion
munging.  In future we will also tweak COPY FROM, but this part of the
change should be backwards-compatible.  Per pghackers discussion.
Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
more completely and accurately.

site-local additions in template1.
