Bruce Momjian 070a3ad76b Rename pg_stat_file columns to be more consistent. Split apart change
and creation columns to behave for Unix or Win32.

Tom Lane 84ccf7212c Fix up tab completion for ROLEs and add some more completion logic for
other stuff; change \du and \dg to be role-aware (Stefan Kaltenbrunner).
Also make tab completion fetch the list of GUC variables from pg_settings
instead of having a hard-wired copy of the list (Tom Lane).

Tom Lane 2af9a44fa9 Make pg_stat_file() use OUT parameters so that the user doesn't have to
remember the output parameter set for himself.  It's a bit of a kluge
but fixing array_in to work in bootstrap mode looks worse.
I removed the separate pg_file_length() function, as it no longer has any
real notational advantage --- you can write (pg_stat_file(...)).length.

Tom Lane 59c016aa9f Pass the type OID as the typioparam for all non-array types, rather than
only composite types as we did in 8.0.  Per discussion with Martijn

Tom Lane a43ea120bf Code & docs review for server instrumentation patch. File timestamps
should surely be timestamptz not timestamp; fix some but not all of the
holes in check_and_make_absolute(); other minor cleanup.  Also put in
the missed catversion bump.

Tom Lane 721e53785d Solve the problem of OID collisions by probing for duplicate OIDs
whenever we generate a new OID.  This prevents occasional duplicate-OID
errors that can otherwise occur once the OID counter has wrapped around.
Duplicate relfilenode values are also checked for when creating new
physical files.  Per my recent proposal.

Tom Lane d90c531188 Autovacuum loose end mop-up. Provide autovacuum-specific vacuum cost
delay and limit, both as global GUCs and as table-specific entries in
pg_autovacuum.  stats_reset_on_server_start is now OFF by default,
but a reset is forced if we did WAL replay.  XID-wrap vacuums do not
ANALYZE, but do FREEZE if it's a template database.  Alvaro Herrera

Tom Lane cbd015d718 Extend pg_config to be able to report the build-time values of CC,
CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS, CFLAGS_SL, LDFLAGS, LDFLAGS_SL, and LIBS.  Change it
so that invoking pg_config with no arguments reports all available
information, rather than just giving an error message.  Per discussion.

Tom Lane 33f5bf9700 ALTER TABLE OWNER must change the ownership of the table's rowtype too.
This was not especially critical before, but it is now that we track
ownership dependencies --- the dependency for the rowtype *must* shift
to the new owner.  Spotted by Bernd Helmle.
Also fix a problem introduced by recent change to allow non-superusers
to do ALTER OWNER in some cases: if the table had a toast table, ALTER
OWNER failed *even for superusers*, because the test being applied would
conclude that the new would-be owner had no create rights on pg_toast.
A side-effect of the fix is to disallow changing the ownership of indexes
or toast tables separately from their parent table, which seems a good
idea on the whole.

Bruce Momjian a85e5d1b1b Add description:
< 	  This would require a new global table that is dumped to flat file for
< 	  use by the postmaster.  We do a similar thing for pg_shadow currently.
> 	  This would add a function to load the SQL table from
>           pg_hba.conf, and one to writes its contents to the flat file.
> 	  The table should have a line number that is a float so rows
> 	  can be inserted between existing rows, e.g. row 2.5 goes
> 	  between row 2 and row 3.

Bruce Momjian b2b6548c79 Please find attached diffs for documentation and simple regression
tests for the new interval->day changes. I added tests for
justify_hours() and justify_days() to interval.sql, as they take
interval input and produce interval output. If there's a more
appropriate place for them, please let me know.
