6e9c974e43 Editorialization for the additions to the CREATE TABLE reference page
made as part of the recent INCLUDING CONSTRAINTS patch. The text could
stand further improvement, but this is at least a step in the right
direction.

ca0d2197ca Change the row constructor syntax (ROW(...)) so that list elements foo.*
will be expanded to a list of their member fields, rather than creating
a nested rowtype field as formerly.  (The old behavior is still available
by omitting '.*'.)  This syntax is not allowed by the SQL spec AFAICS,
so changing its behavior doesn't violate the spec.  The new behavior is
substantially more useful since it allows, for example, triggers to check
for data changes with 'if row(new.*) is distinct from row(old.*)'.  Per
my recent proposal.

ac7a126d0c Update entry:
< * Allow heap reuse of UPDATEd rows if old and new versions are on the
<   same heap page?
> * Allow heap reuse of UPDATEd rows if no indexed columns are changed,
>   and old and new versions are on the same heap page?
<   This is possible for same-page updates because a single index row
<   can point to both old and new values.
>   While vacuum handles DELETEs fine, updating of non-indexed columns, like
>   counters, are difficult for VACUUM to handle efficiently.  This method
>   is possible for same-page updates because a single index row can be
>   used to point to both old and new values.

b13c9686d0 Take the statistics collector out of the loop for monitoring backends'
current commands; instead, store current-status information in shared
memory.  This substantially reduces the overhead of stats_command_string
and also ensures that pg_stat_activity is fully up to date at all times.
Per my recent proposal.

3ba3e6c8ce Clean up after someone's curious idea that it'd be good to strip
leading zeroes from the SQLSTATE codes.  They're strings, people,
not numbers.
