implementation
of '\e' history tracking for systems that have a readline compatability
library without replace_history_entry. I fall back to pushing the query
onto the history stack after the \e, rather than replacing it.
The patch adds one more place to look for readline headers, and a test
for replace_history_entry. I've only included the patch for configure.in

RelOid_pg_class, and transaction locks XactLockTableId. RelId is renamed
to objId.
- LockObject() and UnlockObject() functions created, and their use
sprinkled throughout the code to do descent locking for domains and
types. They accept lock modes AccessShare and AccessExclusive, as we
only really need a 'read' and 'write' lock at the moment. Most locking
cases are held until the end of the transaction.
This fixes the cases Tom mentioned earlier in regards to locking with
Domains. If the patch is good, I'll work on cleaning up issues with
other database objects that have this problem (most of them).

7.3.2). It removes some code duplication and #ifdeffing, and some
unstructured ugliness such as tacky breaks and an unneeded continue.
Breaks up a large function into smaller functions and reduces required
nesting levels, and kills a variable or two.

functions which limited the maximum date for a timestamp to AD 1465001.
The new limit is AD 5874897.
The files affected are:
doc/src/sgml/datatype.sgml:
Documentation change due to patch. Included is a notice about
the reduced range when using an eight-byte integer for timestamps.
src/backend/utils/adt/datetime.c:
Replacement functions for j2date() and date2j() functions.
src/include/utils/datetime.h:
Corrected a bug with the limit on the earliest possible date,
Nov 23,-4713 has a Julian day count of -1. The earliest possible
date should be Nov 24, -4713 with a day count of 0.
src/test/regress/expected/horology-no-DST-before-1970.out:
src/test/regress/expected/horology-solaris-1947.out:
src/test/regress/expected/horology.out:
Copies of expected output for regression testing.
Note: Only horology.out has been physically tested. I do not have access
to a Solaris box and I don't know how to provoke the "pre-1970" test.
src/test/regress/sql/horology.sql:
Added some test cases to check extended range.

performance of min() and max() is slow when applied to the entire table,
and suggesting the simple workaround most experienced Pg users
eventually learn about (SELECT xyz ... ORDER BY xyz LIMIT 1).

in the case where the node immediately above the scan is a Hash, Sort,
or Material node. In these cases it's better to do the projection
so that we don't store unneeded columns in the hash/sort/materialize
table. Per discussion a few days ago with Anagh Lal.

the outer query. (The implementation is a bit klugy, but it would take
nontrivial restructuring to make it nicer, which this is probably not
worth.) This avoids unnecessary sort steps in examples like
SELECT foo,count(*) FROM (SELECT ... ORDER BY foo,bar) sub GROUP BY foo
which means there is now a reasonable technique for controlling the
order of inputs to custom aggregates, even in the grouping case.
