* 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.

-hackers a couple days ago.
Notes/caveats:
- added regression tests for the new functionality, all
regression tests pass on my machine
- added pg_dump support
- updated PL/PgSQL to support per-statement triggers; didn't
look at the other procedural languages.
- there's (even) more code duplication in trigger.c than there
was previously. Any suggestions on how to refactor the
ExecXXXTriggers() functions to reuse more code would be
welcome -- I took a brief look at it, but couldn't see an
easy way to do it (there are several subtly-different
versions of the code in question)
- updated the documentation. I also took the liberty of
removing a big chunk of duplicated syntax documentation in
the Programmer's Guide on triggers, and moving that
information to the CREATE TRIGGER reference page.
- I also included some spelling fixes and similar small
cleanups I noticed while making the changes. If you'd like
me to split those into a separate patch, let me know.

parameter to allow it to be forced off for comparison purposes.
Add ORDER BY clauses to a bunch of regression test queries that will
otherwise produce randomly-ordered output in the new regime.
Add simple ALTER DATABASE, ALTER TRIGGER, CHECK POINT, CREATE
CONVERSION, CREATE DOMAIN, CREATE LANGUAGE, DEALLOCATE, DROP CONVERSION,
DROP DOMAIN, DROP LANGUAGE, EXECUTE, PREPARE
Complete CAST in CREATE CAST and DROP CAST but doesn't suggest what
should follow.
Add many more SET / SHOW variables to the list. Taken from SHOW ALL
output.
Complete a case sensitive search to allow \dD, \dd, \dS, \ds, \h, \H to
complete properly. But there are no matches, then try a case
insensitive search to allow case conversion. Add all missing help
options.
\Q<tab> -> \q
\dD<tab> -> \dD
\dd<tab> -> \dd
\D<tab><tab><tab> -> \d (with listing of \d? commands)
sel<tab> -> SELECT

"traditional" behavior, so the change should be transparent. Use the
command "\pset pager always" to turn it on. Anything else does the
normal toggle between "on" and "off"

precision for float4, float8, and geometric types. Set it in pg_dump
so that float data can be dumped/reloaded exactly (at least on platforms
where the float I/O support is properly implemented). Initial patch by
Pedro Ferreira, some additional work by Tom Lane.

Yes, sorry. A patch for this is attached. Please apply.

a column list. Bring its parsing of quoted names and quoted strings
somewhat up to speed --- I believe it now handles all non-error cases
the same way the backend would, but weird boundary conditions are not
necessarily done the same way.
Create objects in public schema.
Make spacing/capitalization consistent.
Remove transaction block use for object creation.
Remove unneeded function GRANTs.
the start of the psql commandline. This is better than adding BEGIN/END
because it handles multiple queries well, and allows the return code for
psql to return the proper value.

Nah. I don't think it's worth it: I had forgotten that older versions
should be supported. I just left the code as is and added a
version-specific test.
This patch allows pg_dump to dump correctly local definition of columns.
In particular,
CREATE TABLE p1 (f1 int, f2 int);
CREATE TABLE p2 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE c () INHERITS (p1, p2);
ALTER TABLE ONLY p1 DROP COLUMN f1;
CREATE TABLE p3 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE c2 (f1 int) INHERITS (p3);
Will be dumped as
CREATE TABLE p1 (f2 int);
CREATE TABLE p2 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE c (f1 int) INHERITS (p1, p2);
CREATE TABLE c2 (f1 int) INHERITS (p3);
(Previous version will dump
CREATE TABLE c () INHERITS (p1, p2)
CREATE TABLE c2 () INHERITS (p3) )

client
utilities (libpq.dll and psql.exe) for win32 (missing defines,
adjustments to
includes, pedantic casting, non-existent functions) per:
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/install-win32.html.
It compiles cleanly under Windows 2000 using Visual Studio .net. Also
compiles clean and passes all regression tests (regular and contrib)
under Linux.
In addition to a review by the usual suspects, it would be very
desirable for someone well versed in the peculiarities of win32 to take
a look.

be able to do that, but the ability seems to have got lost in the
shuffle). Add a -o nextOID switch for completeness. Improve the
documentation to explain how and why to use these switches.
