9491c82f71 This makes all the \dX commands (most importantly to most: \df) work

cae565e503 SQL/MED catalog manipulation facilities
This doesn't do any remote or external things yet, but it gives modules
like plproxy and dblink a standardized and future-proof system for
managing their connection information.

cdc197cf31 Improve psql's \dC command to take a pattern parameter. Casts are shown
if their source or target types match the pattern (using the same definition
of "match" as \dT does).  Per recent discussion.

a hard-wired assumption about the longest command name length.  Also make it
respond to the current screen width.  In passing, const-ify the constant
table.

140d4ebcb4 Tsearch2 functionality migrates to core. The bulk of this work is by
Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, but I did a lot of editorializing,
so anything that's broken is probably my fault.

Documentation is nonexistent as yet, but let's land the patch so we can
get some portability testing done.

07bae9c099 Please find enclosed a patch that lets you use \c to connect
(optionally) to a new host and port without exiting psql.  This
eliminates, IMHO, a surprise in that you can now connect to PostgreSQL
on a differnt machine from the one where you started your session. This
should help people who use psql as an administrative tool.

4cb27fef0a o Improve psql's handling of multi-line statements
Currently, while \e saves a single statement as one entry, interactive
	statements are saved one line at a time.  Ideally all statements

c3a69c3b3b Attached is a patch that enhances the "\h" capability in psql. I often
find myself typing a command and then wanting to get the syntax for it.
So I do a ctrl-a and add a \h: but psql does not recognize the command,
because I have stuff attached to it (e.g. "alter table foobar"), so I
have to scroll over and delete everything except the name of the command
itself. This patch gives \h three chances to match: if nothing matches
the complete string (current behavior), it tries to match the first two
words (e.g. "ALTER TABLE"). If that fails, it tries to match the first
word (e.g. "DELETE").

2467394ee1 Tablespaces. Alternate database locations are dead, long live tablespaces.
There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation.  Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE.  Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

0bd61548ab Solve the 'Turkish problem' with undesirable locale behavior for case
conversion of basic ASCII letters.  Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower.  These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion.  I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent.  Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

40c4472e22 TODO marked as done:
* Add schema, cast, and conversion backslash commands to psql

I had to create a new publically available function,
pg_conversion_is_visible, as it seemed to be missing from the catalogs.
This required me to do no small amount of hacking around in namespace.c

I have updated the \? help and sgml docs.

\dc - list conversions [PATTERN]
\dC - list casts
\dn list schemas

I didn't support patterns with casts as there's nothing obvious to match
against.

Catalog version incremented --- initdb required.
