Bruce Momjian ffef9a9de4 Clarify PGPASSWORD usage: 
! authentication.  Use of this environment variable is not
! recommended for security reasons (some operating systems
! allow non-root users to see process environment variables via
! <application>ps</>); instead consider using  the
! <filename>~/.pgpass</> file (see <xref linkend="libpq-pgpass">).

Tom Lane 891497d3a9 Correct overstatement in locking docs: we said ExclusiveLock is never 
taken automatically, but this is only true with respect to user tables.

Bruce Momjian 93aa22fc8e 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.

Tom Lane 60b2444cc3 Add code to prevent transaction ID wraparound by enforcing a safe limit 
in GetNewTransactionId().  Since the limit value has to be computed
before we run any real transactions, this requires adding code to database
startup to scan pg_database and determine the oldest datfrozenxid.
This can conveniently be combined with the first stage of an attack on
the problem that the 'flat file' copies of pg_shadow and pg_group are
not properly updated during WAL recovery.  The code I've added to
startup resides in a new file src/backend/utils/init/flatfiles.c, and
it is responsible for rewriting the flat files as well as initializing
the XID wraparound limit value.  This will eventually allow us to get
rid of GetRawDatabaseInfo too, but we'll need an initdb so we can add
a trigger to pg_database.

Bruce Momjian dc95779679 It seems like most people don't want automatic failover so I am removing 
the item:

< 	o Automatic failover

< 	  The proper solution to this will probably the use of a master/slave
< 	  replication solution like Sloney and a connection pooling tool like
< 	  pgpool.
