Please find enclosed a patch, per Dennis Bj<C3><B6>rklund, that uses -f
...
for input files rather than <. This makes error messages, &c. more
expressive.

Add WAL logging for CREATE/DROP DATABASE and CREATE/DROP TABLESPACE.
...
Fix TablespaceCreateDbspace() to be able to create a dummy directory
in place of a dropped tablespace's symlink. This eliminates the open
problem of a PANIC during WAL replay when a replayed action attempts
to touch a file in a since-deleted tablespace. It also makes for a
significant improvement in the usability of PITR replay.

Add functions pg_start_backup, pg_stop_backup to create backup label
...
and history files as per recent discussion. While at it, remove
pg_terminate_backend, since we have decided we do not have time during
this release cycle to address the reliability concerns it creates.
Split the 'Miscellaneous Functions' documentation section into
'System Information Functions' and 'System Administration Functions',
which hopefully will draw the eyes of those looking for such things.

Add some code to guc.c to allow these variables to be referenced by their

Replace implementation of pg_log as a relation accessed through the
...
buffer manager with 'pg_clog', a specialized access method modeled
on pg_xlog. This simplifies startup (don't need to play games to
open pg_log; among other things, OverrideTransactionSystem goes away),
should improve performance a little, and opens the door to recycling
commit log space by removing no-longer-needed segments of the commit
log. Actual recycling is not there yet, but I felt I should commit
this part separately since it'd still be useful if we chose not to
do transaction ID wraparound.
