375369acd1 Replace TupleTableSlot convention for whole-row variables and function
results with tuples as ordinary varlena Datums.  This commit does not
in itself do much for us, except eliminate the horrid memory leak
associated with evaluation of whole-row variables.  However, it lays the
groundwork for allowing composite types as table columns, and perhaps
some other useful features as well.  Per my proposal of a few days ago.

a302b8e150 Back out tutorial changes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  In keeping with the recent discussion that there should be more
said about views, stored procedures, and triggers, in the tutorial, I
have added a bit of verbiage to that end.

2.  Some formatting changes to the datetime discussion, as well as
addition of a citation of a relevant book on calendars.

8899a2aba9 Replace max_expr_depth parameter with a max_stack_depth parameter that
is measured in kilobytes and checked against actual physical execution
stack depth, as per my proposal of 30-Dec.  This gives us a fairly
bulletproof defense against crashing due to runaway recursive functions.

24614a9880 Upgrade ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN so that it can drop an OID column, and
remove separate implementation of ALTER TABLE SET WITHOUT OIDS in favor
of doing a regular DROP.  Also, cause CREATE TABLE to account completely
correctly for the inheritance status of the OID column.  This fixes
problems with dropping OID columns that have dependencies, as noted by
Christopher Kings-Lynne, as well as making sure that you can't drop an
OID column that was inherited from a parent.

2e45c143ef Replace the virtual_host and tcpip_socket parameters with a unified
listen_addresses parameter, as per recent discussion.  The default behavior
is now to listen on localhost, which eliminates the need for the -i
postmaster switch in many scenarios.

3ceda5eab3 I just noticed that \dp outputs "Table" to indicate relations (tables,
sequences and views).  This patch allows it to handle views and
sequences.

bfd6f52b0e Allow 'Infinity' and '-Infinity' as input to the float4 and float8
types. Update the regression tests and the documentation to reflect
this. Remove the UNSAFE_FLOATS #ifdef.

This is only half the story: we still unconditionally reject
floating point operations that result in +/- infinity. See
recent thread on -hackers for more information.
