03a321d214 Use PostgreSQL consistantly throughout docs. Before, usage was split evenly 
between Postgres and PostgreSQL.

85801ed9b8 Attached is a small patch for the Reference Manual which adds 
information about nulls and sort order.

This is based on information obtained from Peter Eisentraut and
Tom Lane on pgsql-hackers.

Please check my English and Docbook markup, as both are a second
language to me.

40dc76e315 Recommend CREATE TABLE AS in preference to SELECT INTO. Remove the 
(inadequate anyway) mention of SELECT INTO from the main SELECT ref page.
Point out that SELECT INTO means something else in plpgsql and ecpg.

c1f5ed6394 When making xrefs to refsects, the linkend should point to the refsect and 
the endterm to the title element, not both to the title.  At least
docbook2man prefers it that way.

c446509565 Second pass over run-time configuration system. Adjust priorities on some 
option settings. Sort out SIGHUP vs BACKEND -- there is no total ordering
here, so make explicit checks. Add comments explaining all of this.
Removed permissions check on SHOW command.

Add examine_subclass to the game, rename to SQL_inheritance to fit the
official data model better. Adjust documentation.

Standalone backend needs to reset all options before it starts. To
facilitate that, have IsUnderPostmaster be set by the postmaster itself,
don't wait for the magic -p switch.

Also make sure that all environment variables and argv's survive
init_ps_display(). Use strdup where necessary.

Have initdb make configuration files (postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf) mode
0600 -- having configuration files is no fun if you can't edit them.

1763a7c1ea Tweak GROUP BY so that it will still accept result-column names, but only 
after trying to resolve the item as an input-column name.  This allows us
to be compliant with the SQL92 spec for queries that fall within the spec,
while still accepting the same out-of-spec queries as 6.5 did.  You'll only
lose if there is an output column name that is the same as an input
column name, but doesn't refer to the same value.  7.0 will interpret
such a GROUP BY spec differently than 6.5 did.  No way around that, because
6.5 was clearly not spec compliant.

dd979f66be Redesign DISTINCT ON as discussed in pgsql-sql 1/25/00: syntax is now 
SELECT DISTINCT ON (expr [, expr ...]) targetlist ...
and there is a check to make sure that the user didn't specify an ORDER BY
that's incompatible with the DISTINCT operation.
Reimplement nodeUnique and nodeGroup to use the proper datatype-specific
equality function for each column being compared --- they used to do
bitwise comparisons or convert the data to text strings and strcmp().
(To add insult to injury, they'd look up the conversion functions once
for each tuple...)  Parse/plan representation of DISTINCT is now a list
of SortClause nodes.
initdb forced by querytree change...
