9c8d0850c3 Support "OR condition ..." in plpgsql EXCEPTION clauses to make the syntax
more nearly Oracle-equivalent.  Allow matching by category as well as
specific error code.  Document the set of available condition names
(or more accurately, synchronize it with the existing documentation).  In
passing, update errcodes.sgml to include codes added during 7.5 development.

beda4814c1 plpgsql does exceptions.
There are still some things that need refinement; in particular I fear
that the recognized set of error condition names probably has little in
common with what Oracle recognizes.  But it's a start.

2042b3428d Invent WAL timelines, as per recent discussion, to make point-in-time
recovery more manageable.  Also, undo recent change to add FILE_HEADER
and WASTED_SPACE records to XLOG; instead make the XLOG page header
variable-size with extra fields in the first page of an XLOG file.
This should fix the boundary-case bugs observed by Mark Kirkwood.
initdb forced due to change of XLOG representation.

45995219a0 Here is another patch that fixes a stack of pg_dump bugs:
* Fix help text ordering

* Add back --set-session-authorization to pg_dumpall.  Updated the docs
for that.  Updated help for that.

* Dump ALTER USER commands for the cluster owner ("pgsql").  These are
dumped AFTER the create user and create database commands in case the
permissions to do these have been revoked.

* Dump ALTER OWNER for public schema (because it's possible to change
it).  This was done by adding TOC entries for the public schema, and
filtering them out at archiver time.  I also save the owner in the TOC
entry just for the public schema.

* Suppress dumping single quotes around schema_path and DateStyle
options when they are set using ALTER USER or ALTER DATABASE.  Added a
comment to the steps in guc.c to remind people to update that list.

* Fix dumping in --clean mode against a pre-7.3 server.  It just sets
all drop statements to assume the public schema, allowing it to restore
without error.

* Cleaned up text output.  eg. Don't output -- Tablespaces comment if
there are none.  Same for groups and users.

* Make the commands to DELETE FROM pg_shadow and DELETE FROM pg_group
only be output when -c mode is enabled.  I'm not sure why that hasn't
been done before?!?!

This should be good for application asap, after which I will start on
regression dumping 7.0-7.4 databases.

c14a43f657 Remove TABLESPACE option of CREATE SEQUENCE; sequences will now always
live in database or schema's default tablespace, as per today's discussion.
Also, remove some unused keywords from the grammar (PATH, PENDANT,
VERSION), and fix ALSO, which was added as a keyword but not added
to the keyword classification lists, thus making it worse-than-reserved.

a72dd7a9e4 Okay, I've had it with answering newbie questions about why plpgsql
FOR loops are giving weird syntax errors.  Restructure parsing of FOR
loops so that the integer-loop-vs-query-loop decision is driven off
the presence of '..' between IN and LOOP, rather than the presence
of a matching record/row variable name.  Hopefully this will make the
behavior a bit more transparent.

e34082ee3b Add missing operators of the form interval-plus-datetime, as required for
better SQL compliance in this area, per recent discussion.  Mark related
operators as commutators where possible.  (The system doesn't actually care
about commutator marking for operators not returning boolean, at the moment,
but this seems forward-thinking and besides it made it easier to verify
that we hadn't missed any.)
Also, remove interval-minus-time and interval-minus-timetz operators.
I'm not sure how these got in, but they are nonstandard and had very
obviously broken behavior.  (minus is not commutative in anyone's book.)
I doubt anyone had ever used 'em, because we'd surely have gotten a bug
report about it if so.
