87070ccc13 It looks Ok, but it has one unnecessary step. There is no need to do the "mv
privkey.pem cert.pem.pw" if you just use "privkey.pem" in the following
openssl command (e.g. openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out cert.pem".
But there is nothing wrong with it as it is now, as far as I can see.

d128852358 In the Programmer's Guide, the sample code for accessing large objects
from libpq has two functions with memory leaks.

The functions pickout() and overwrite() malloc space for buf which is
never freed.

See
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.0/programmer/largeobjects3207.htm

This problem is also in the 6.5 docs at
http://www.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/6.5/programmer/x3184.htm

df389d161d Approaching the current documentation from a position of ignorance, I
find it ambiguous.  I propose something along the lines of the
following patch to clarify it.  Thanks.

(Alternatively, perhaps the code could maintain a count of nested
calls to SPI_connect/SPI_finish.  But I didn't try to write that
patch.)

2fb6cc9045 Remove not-really-standard implementation of CREATE TABLE's UNDER clause,
and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause
instead, per recent discussion in pghackers.  Also fix implementation
of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze().  See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just
after a SET TIMEZONE command.  gram.y really has to be an invariant
transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that
can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.

36da236eb3 In 'Joins between classes' in Section 5 of the tutorial we have, in
the first paragraph:

    As an example, say we wish to find all the records that
    are in the  temperature  range  of  other records. In
    effect, we need to compare the temp_lo and temp_hi
    attributes of each EMP instance to the temp_lo and
    temp_hi  attributes of all other EMP instances.

I believe that EMP should read WEATHER, as the example query that
follows joins WEATHER to itself.

EMP is often used in Oracle examples.

Graham

b44e46cfce Remove error check that disallowed setval() on a sequence with cache
value greater than one.  The behavior this sought to disallow doesn't
seem any less confusing than the other behaviors of cached sequences.
Improve wording of some error messages, too.
Update documentation accordingly.  Also add an explanation that
aborted transactions do not roll back their nextval() calls; this
seems to be a FAQ, so it ought to be mentioned here...
