They don't actually do anything yet; that will get fixed in a
follow-on commit. But this gets the basic infrastructure in place,
including CREATE/ALTER/DROP EVENT TRIGGER; support for COMMENT,
SECURITY LABEL, and ALTER EXTENSION .. ADD/DROP EVENT TRIGGER;
pg_dump and psql support; and documentation for the anticipated
initial feature set.
Dimitri Fontaine, with review and a bunch of additional hacking by me.
Thom Brown extensively reviewed earlier versions of this patch set,
but there's not a whole lot of that code left in this commit, as it
turns out.
SP-GiST is comparable to GiST in flexibility, but supports non-balanced
partitioned search structures rather than balanced trees. As described at
PGCon 2011, this new indexing structure can beat GiST in both index build
time and query speed for search problems that it is well matched to.
There are a number of areas that could still use improvement, but at this
point the code seems committable.

Change range_before, range_after, range_adjacent to return false rather
than throwing an error when one or both input ranges are empty.
The original definition is unnecessarily difficult to use, and also can
result in undesirable planner failures since the planner could try to
compare an empty range to something else while deriving statistical
estimates. (This was, in fact, the cause of repeatable regression test
failures on buildfarm member jaguar, as well as intermittent failures
elsewhere.)
Also tweak rangetypes regression test to not drop all the objects it
creates, so that the final state of the regression database contains
some rangetype objects for pg_dump testing.
This is both very useful in its own right, and an important test case
for the core FDW support.
This commit includes a small refactoring of copy.c to expose its option
checking code as a separately callable function. The original patch
submission duplicated hundreds of lines of that code, which seemed pretty
unmaintainable.

This commit provides the core code and documentation needed. A contrib
module test case will follow shortly.

src/pl/plpgsql/src/plerrcodes.h, src/include/utils/errcodes.h, and a
big chunk of errcodes.sgml are now automatically generated from a single
file, src/backend/utils/errcodes.txt.

This is still pretty rough - among other things, the documentation
needs work, and the messages need a visit from the style police -
but this gets the basic framework in place.

strength of database passwords, and create a sample implementation of
such a hook as a new contrib module "passwordcheck".

Set up proper makefile dependencies in the documentation build rules,
especially around the HTML/index build. The problem we've had with all
previous solutions is that we have used the same file name, such as HTML.index
or bookindex.sgml, to mean different things at different stages of the build,
and make can't distinguish that. The solution here is that the first jade run
produces HTML.index, but does not require bookindex.sgml at all, and produces
no other html output (the latter an idea from Alvaro). The second jade run
includes bookindex.sgml, but does not recreate HTML.index. That way, when you
change an sgml file, jade is run twice and at the end all dependencies are
satisfied. Omitting the html output in the first stage also makes the full
build a lot faster.
When you run one of the print format targets, only the first jade run is run,
then the print target-specific commands. If an HTML build has completed
previously, the first jade run is skipped because the dependencies have
already been satisfied.
The draft and check targets for quick builds and syntax verification are still
there.
as per my recent proposal. release.sgml itself is now just a stub that should
change rarely; ideally, only once per major release to add a new include line.
Most editing work will occur in the release-N.N.sgml files. To update a back
branch for a minor release, just copy the appropriate release-N.N.sgml
file(s) into the back branch.
This commit doesn't change the end-product documentation at all, only the
source layout. However, it makes it easy to start omitting ancient information
from newer branches' documentation, should we ever decide to do that.
to ensure that the resulting webpages have predictable URLs, instead of
ever-changing numeric IDs. The new contrib docs were the biggest
offender, but some old stuff had the problem too. Also, rename a couple
of new contrib sgml files for consistency's sake.
pages for the new SQL commands. I also committed Bruce's text search
introductory chapter, as-is except for fixing some markup errors,
so that there would be a place for the reference pages to link to.
language handler to the 'Internals' area, per my proposal of yesterday.
Clean up the trigger documentation a bit. Push SPI chapter to the end
of its part, and reorder the Internals chapters into what seems a more
sensible order (at the moment anyway).
chapters on extending types, operators, and aggregates into the extending
functions chapter. Move the information on how to call table functions
into the queries chapter. Remove some outdated information that is
already present in a better form in other parts of the documentation.
Still needs to be filled with more information, but it gives us a
framework to have a User's Guide with complete coverage of the basic
SQL operations. Move arrays into data type chapter, inheritance into
DDL chapter (for now).
Make <comment>s show up in the output while the version number ends in
"devel".
Allow cross-book references with entities &cite-user; etc.
All of the internal tags are of the latter.
The other thing I noticed is that most of the quick examples in the file
use a para and synopsis. Is there a reason we're not using <example/> ?

Remove ODBC-compatible empty parentheses from calls to SQL99 functions
for which these parentheses do not match the standard.
Update the ODBC driver to ensure compatibility with the ODBC standard
for these functions (e.g. CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_USER, etc).
Include a new appendix in the User's Guide which lists the labeled features
for SQL99 (the labeled features replaced the "basic", "intermediate",
and "advanced" categories from SQL92). features.sgml does not yet split
this list into "supported" and "unsupported" lists.
the Admin Guide about routine maintenance tasks. Currently this only
discusses the various reasons for doing VACUUM, but perhaps it could be
fleshed out with topics like log rotation.
Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.
psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided. In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.
Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation. Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.
filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files). No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.
There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources. Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.
