I abbreviated the heck out of the column headings, and made a few
small wording changes, to get it to build warning-free. I can't
say that the result is pretty, but it's probably better than
removing this table entirely.
As of this commit, we have zero "exceed the available area" warnings
in a US-letter PDF build, and one such warning (about an 863-millipoint
overrun) in an A4 build. I expect to get rid of that one by renaming
wait events, so I'm not doing anything about it at the formatting
level.

In one or two places it seemed reasonable to modify the example so as
to shorten its output slightly; but for the most part I just added a
&zwsp; after 67 characters, which is the most we can fit on a line
of monospace text in A4 format.

Includes some manual cleanup of places that pgindent messed up,
most of which weren't per project style anyway.
Notably, it seems some people didn't absorb the style rules of
commit c9d297751, because there were a bunch of new occurrences
of function calls with a newline just after the left paren, all
with faulty expectations about how the rest of the call would get
indented.
The previous design for this table didn't really work in narrow views,
such as PDF output; besides which its reliance on large morerows
values made it a pain to maintain (cf ab3e4fbd5, for example).
I experimented with a couple of ways to fix it, but the best and
simplest is to split it up into a separate table for each event
type category.
I also rearranged the event ordering to be strictly alphabetical,
as nobody would ever be able to find entries otherwise.
There is work afoot to revise the set of event names described
in this table, but this commit just changes the layout, not the
contents.
In passing, add a missing entry to pg_locks.locktype,
and cross-reference that to the related wait event list.

This changes our catalog and view descriptions to use a style inspired
by the new format for function/operator tables: each table entry is
formatted roughly like a <varlistentry>, with the column name and type
on the first line and then an indented description. This provides much
more room for expansive descriptions than we had before, and thereby
eliminates a passel of PDF build warnings.

I can't see any way to make this table fit in PDF column width
without either a fundamental redesign or abbreviating EXCLUSIVE.
So I did the latter.
It'd be nicer if the abbreviating didn't leak into the HTML output
as well; but the hackery required to make the output different
seems like more trouble than it's really worth.

Even after the tweaking I did in commit 5545b69ae, some of the
longer keywords mentioned in the SQL standard don't fit the
available space in PDF output.
I experimented with various solutions like putting such keywords
on their own table lines, but everything looked ugly or confusing
or both; worse, the weirdness also appeared in the HTML version,
which (normally) doesn't need it.
The best answer seems to be to insert &zwsp; into long keywords
so that they can be broken into two lines when, and only when,
needed. It doesn't look too awful if the break happens after
an underscore --- and fortunately, all the problematic keywords
have underscores.

Use xreflabel attributes instead of endterm attributes to control the
appearance of links to subsections of SQL command reference pages.
This is simpler, it matches what we do elsewhere (e.g. for GUC variables),
and it doesn't draw "Unresolved ID reference" warnings from the PDF
toolchain.
Fix some places where the text was absolutely dependent on an <xref>
rendering exactly so, by using a <link> around the required text
instead. At least one of those spots had already been turned into
bad grammar by subsequent changes, and the whole idea is just too
fragile for my taste. <xref> does NOT have fixed output, don't write
as if it does.
Consistently include a page-level link in cross-man-page references,
because otherwise they are useless/nonsensical in man-page output.
Likewise, be consistent about mentioning "below" or "above" in same-page
references; we were doing that in about 90% of the cases, but now it's
100%.
Also get rid of another nonfunctional-in-PDF idea, of making
cross-references to functions by sticking ID tags on <row> constructs.
We can put the IDs on <indexterm>s instead --- which is probably not any
more sensible in abstract terms, but it works where the other doesn't.
(There is talk of attaching cross-reference IDs to most or all of
the docs' function descriptions, but for now I just fixed the two
that exist.)

This patch eliminates a few more "exceed the available area" warnings
whose causes aren't particularly connected to anything else.
The only one really worthy of comment is that I increased the space
allowed for an <orderedlist>'s numbers, because the default of 1em
doesn't quite work for more than one digit. The rest are one-off
insertions of &zwsp; and suchlike tweaks, in places where they
shouldn't do any damage to the material. (In particular, although
I split some long identifiers with zwsp's, there are other nearby
occurrences of each one; so those changes shouldn't hurt greppability
of the document sources.)
I made up a very crude hack to compare the docs with reality (as
embodied in the system catalogs) ... and indeed they don't match
everywhere. Missing oid columns, wrong data types, wrong "references"
links, columns listed in the wrong order. None of this seems quite
important enough to back-patch.
This converts the contrib documentation to the new style, and mops up
a couple of function tables that were outside chapter 9 in the main
docs.
A few contrib modules choose not to present their functions in the
standard tabular format. There might be room to rethink those decisions
now that the standard format is more friendly to verbose descriptions.
But I have not undertaken to do that here; I just converted existing
tables.
In the wake of commit f21599311, we don't need to set table columns'
align specs retail. Undo a few such settings I'd added in commit
5545b69ae. (The column width adjustments stay, though.)
I concluded that we really just ought to force all tables in PDF output
to default to "left" alignment (instead of "justify"); that is what the
HTML toolchain does and that's what most people have been designing the
tables to look good with. There are few if any places where "justify"
produces better-looking output, and there are many where it looks
horrible. So change stylesheet-fo.xsl to make that true.
Also tweak column widths in a few more tables to make them look better
and avoid "exceed the available area" warnings. This commit fixes
basically everything that can be fixed through that approach. The
remaining tables that give warnings either are scheduled for redesign
as per recent discussions, or need a fundamental rethink because they
Just Don't Work in a narrow view.
Moving this setting into the main configuration file was ill-considered,
perhaps, because that typically causes it to be set before
timezone_abbreviations has been set. Which in turn means that zone
abbreviations don't work, only full zone names.
We could imagine hacking things so that such cases do work, but the
stability of the hack would be questionable, and the value isn't really
that high. Instead just document that you should use a numeric zone
offset or a full zone name.
Per bug #16404 from Reijo Suhonen.

The PDF toolchain defaults to laying out all columns of a table with
equal widths, in contrast to the HTML rendering which automatically
varies the column widths to fit the data. In many places, this
results in very badly laid-out tables, with lots of useless whitespace
in some places and text that overruns its cell in other places.
For tables that have reasonably static content, we can improve
matters by adding <colspec> entries to hand-assign the column widths.
This commit does that for a few of the tables that were worst off;
it eliminates close to 200 "contents ... exceed the available area"
warnings in an A4 PDF build.
I also forced align="left" in these tables, overriding the PDF
toolchain's default which is evidently "justify". (The HTML toolchain
seems to default to that already.) Anyplace where things are tight
enough that we need to worry about this, forced justification tends to
look truly awful.
We had a mishmash of <replaceable>, <replaceable class="parameter">,
and <parameter> markup for operator/function arguments. Use <parameter>
consistently for things that are in fact names of parameters (including
OUT parameters), reserving <replaceable> for things that aren't. The
latter class includes some made-up-by-the-docs type class names, like
"numeric_type", as well as placeholders for arguments that don't have
well-defined types. Possibly we could do better with those categories
as well, but for the moment I'm content not to have parameter names
marked up in different ways in different places.
(This commit aligns the earlier sections of chapter 9 with a policy
that I'd arrived at while working on commit 1ad23335f, which is why
the last few sections need no changes.)

Make the markup a bit less ad-hoc. A function-table cell now contains
several <para> units, and we label the ones that contain function
signatures with role="func_signature". The CSS or FO stylesheets then
key off of that to decide how to set the indentation. A very useful
win from this approach is that we can have more than one signature

This patch mostly just replaces the markup in the tables I converted so

This resulted in triggers that could not be dropped because they

ALTER TABLE t DETACH PARTITION t1;

ERROR: cannot drop trigger trig on table t1 because trigger trig on table t requires it

Moreover the table can no longer be re-attached to its parent, because

The table layout ideas proposed in commit e894c6183 were not as widely
popular as I'd hoped. After discussion, we've settled on a layout
that's effectively a single-column table with cell contents much like a
<varlistentry> description of the function or operator; though we're not
actually using <varlistentry>, because it'd add way too much vertical
space. Instead the effect is accomplished using line-break processing
instructions to separate the description and example(s), plus CSS or FO
customizations to produce indentation of all but the first line in each
cell. While technically this is a bit grotty, it does have the
advantage that we won't need to write nearly as much boilerplate markup.
This patch updates tables 9.30, 9.31, and 9.33 (which were touched by

We've long fought with the draconian space limitations of our
traditional table layout for describing SQL functions and operators.
This commit introduces a new approach, though so far I've only applied
it to a few of those tables. The new way makes use of DocBook's support
for different layouts in different rows of a table, and allows the
descriptions and examples for a function or operator to run to several
lines without as much ugliness and wasted space as before.
The core layout concept is now
Name Signature
Description
Example Example Result
so that a function or operator really has three table rows not one,
but we group them to look like one row by having the name column
have only one entry for all three rows. (Actually, there could be
four or more rows if you wanted to have more than one example, which
is another thing that was painful before but works easily now.)
This is handled by a "morerows" annotation on the name entry, which
isn't perfect (notably, the toolchain is not smart enough to avoid
breaking these row groups across PDF pages) but there seems no better
solution in DocBook. The name column is normally fairly narrow,
allowing plenty of space for the other column(s), and not wasting too
much space when one of the other components runs to multiple lines.
The varying row layout is managed by defining named "spans" and then
tagging entries with a "spanname" of "name", "sig", "desc", "example",
or "exresult". This provides a bit of semantic annotation to go with
the formatting improvement, which seems like a good thing. (It seems
that we have to re-define these spans afresh for each table, which is
annoying, but it's not any worse than the duplication involved in
the table headers. At least that gives us an opportunity to vary the
relative column widths per-table, which is handy since function tables
sometimes need much wider name columns than operator tables.)
Signature entries should be written in the style
<function>fname</function>(<type>typename</type> ...)
<returnvalue>typename</returnvalue>
The <returnvalue> tag produces a right arrow before the result type
name. (I'll document that convention in a user-visible place later.)
While this provides significantly more horizontal space than before
for examples, it's still true that PDF output is a lot narrower than
typical webpage viewing windows, so some examples need to be broken
in places where there is no whitespace. I've added &zwsp; markers in
suitable places to allow the tables to render warning-free in PDF.
I've so far converted only the date/time operator, date/time function,
and enum function tables in sections 9.9 and 9.10; these were chosen
to provide a reasonable sample of the formatting problems that need
to be solved. Assuming that this looks good on the website and doesn't
provoke howls of anguish, I'll work on the other similar tables in the
near future.
There's a moderate amount of new editorial content in this patch along
with the raw formatting changes; for instance I had to write text
descriptions for operators that lacked them. I failed to resist the
temptation to improve some other descriptions and examples, too.
Patch by me, with thanks to Alexander Lakhin for assistance with
figuring out some formatting issues.

Previously, the partitionwise join technique only allowed partitionwise
join when input partitioned tables had exactly the same partition
bounds. This commit extends the technique to some cases when the tables
have different partition bounds, by using an advanced partition-matching
algorithm introduced by this commit. For both the input partitioned
tables, the algorithm checks whether every partition of one input
partitioned table only matches one partition of the other input
partitioned table at most, and vice versa. In such a case the join
between the tables can be broken down into joins between the matching
partitions, so the algorithm produces the pairs of the matching
partitions, plus the partition bounds for the join relation, to allow
partitionwise join for computing the join. Currently, the algorithm
works for list-partitioned and range-partitioned tables, but not
hash-partitioned tables. See comments in partition_bounds_merge().
