fb75e39800 Use the CXXFLAGS exported by configure (amazingly, we weren't before!)
and do not arbitrarily pull in CFLAGS instead.  This caters to platforms
where the C++ compiler does not like all the same switches the C compiler
wants.

ca05ba2a9d Get rid of SetBufferWriteMode(), which was an accident waiting to happen.
In the event of an elog() while the mode was set to immediate write,
there was no way for it to be set back to the normal delayed write.
The mechanism was a waste of space and cycles anyway, since the only user
was varsup.c, which could perfectly well call FlushBuffer directly.
Now it does just that, and the notion of a write mode is gone.

5717dcb8a7 New coding for SET provoked a 'var might be used uninitialized' warning
from gcc.  Which wasn't actually a code bug, but I don't like warnings.

Change to referencing OASIS/Docbook v3.1 rather than Davenport/Docbook v3.0

362575b782 Enable more flexible syntax for the SET command. Now allows single floats,
single integers, and lists of names, without surrounding them with quotes.
Remove all tokens which are defined as operators from ColID and ColLabel
 to avoid precedence confusion. Thanks to Tom Lane for catching this.

e55985d3be Tweak indexscan cost estimation: round estimated # of tuples visited up
to next integer.  Previously, if selectivity was small, we could compute
very tiny scan cost on the basis of estimating that only 0.001 tuple
would be fetched, which is silly.  This naturally led to some rather
silly plans...

0fb864f166 Clean up major bogosity in description of creating a new index operator
class.  This chapter was apparently sewed together from several
inconsistent examples... and perhaps from old docs that no longer
apply at all.

39f69bc38f Start updating for the v7.0 release.
Use "generic functions" for math and other routines.

2dabd2cd1f Allow full type names in CREATE FUNCTION arguments and return type.
Move CREATE FUNCTION/WITH clause to end of statement to get around
 shift/reduce conflicts with type names containing "WITH".
Add lots of tokens as allowed ColId's and/or ColLabel's,
 so this should be a complete set for the v7.0 release.

0b96c6f4ae Change form of query which used "DISTINCT ON" to help support primary keys.
We still have an internal limit in the ODBC code of 8 columns per key,
 but this should lay the groundwork for resolving that.
