Add CREATE INDEX doc mention of using partial indexes for IS NULL
indexing; idea from Tom.
reference DEALLOCATE in any way. It points to EXECUTE, but not to
DEALLOCATE. Suggested fix:
... This also means that a single prepared statement cannot be used by
multiple simultaneous database clients; however, each client can create
their own prepared statement to use. The prepared statement can be
manually cleaned up using the DEALLOCATE command.

o -Allow dump/load of CSV format
This adds new keywords to COPY and \copy:
CSV - enable CSV mode (comma separated variable)
QUOTE - specify quote character
ESCAPE - specify escape character
FORCE - force quoting of specified column
LITERAL - suppress null comparison for columns
Doc changes included. Regression updates coming from Andrew.
"millennium" date part implementation in postgresql, both in the code
and the documentation, so that it conforms to the official definition.
If you do not agree with the official definition, please send your
complaint to "pope@vatican.org". I'm not responsible for them;-)
With the previous version, the centuries and millenniums had a wrong
number and started the wrong year. Moreover century number 0, which does
not exist in reality, lasted 200 years. Also, millennium number 0 lasted
2000 years.
If you want postgresql to have it's own definition of "century" and
"millennium" that does not conform to the one of the society, just give
them another name. I would suggest "pgCENTURY" and "pgMILLENNIUM";-)
IMO, if someone may use the options, it means that postgresql is used for
historical data, so it make sense to have an historical definition. Also,
I just want to divide the year by 100 or 1000, I can do that quite easily.

OK, here is a patch that implements #1. Here is sample output:
test=> set client_min_messages = 'log';
SET
test=> set log_statement = 'mod';
SET
test=> select 1;

test=> update test set x=1;

ERROR: relation "test" does not exist
test=> update test set x=1;
LOG: statement: update test set x=1;
ERROR: relation "test" does not exist
test=> copy test from '/tmp/x';
LOG: statement: copy test from '/tmp/x';
ERROR: relation "test" does not exist
test=> copy test to '/tmp/x';

test=> prepare xx as select 1;

It checks PREPARE and EXECUTE ANALYZE too. The log_statement values are
'none', 'mod', 'ddl', and 'all'. For 'all', it prints before the query
is parsed, and for ddl/mod, it does it right after parsing using the
node tag (or command tag for CREATE/ALTER/DROP), so any non-parse errors
will print after the log line.
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.

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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

support for 'week' within the date_trunc function.
Within the patch I added a couple of test cases and associated target
output, and changed the documentation to add 'week' appropriately.

float8 types. This begins the deprecation of this feature: in 7.6,
this input will be rejected.
Also added a new error code for warnings about deprecated features,
and updated the regression tests.
