9e9a844f55 Add:
* Allow star join optimizations

  While our bitmap scan allows multiple indexes to be joined to get
  to heap rows, a star joins allows multiple dimension _tables_ to
  be joined to index into a larger main fact table.  The join is
  usually performed by either creating a cartesian product of all
  the dimmension tables and doing a single join on that product or
  using subselects to create bitmaps of each dimmension table match
  and merge the bitmaps to perform the join on the fact table.

04db9d25d1 there's a paragraph in the ALTER TABLE reference page that reads:
DROP CONSTRAINT

    This form drops constraints on a table. Currently, constraints on tables
    are not required to have unique names, so there may be more than one
    constraint matching the specified name. All matching constraints will be
    dropped.

To my knowledge, it is no longer possible to create constraints with the
same name for the same relation. When you create a constraint and specify
the same name explictly, an error is raised. Implicit constraint creation
won't choose an existing name either and up to now you could not rename a
constraint. Renaming works with the patch I sent in a few hours ago but this
patch as well won't allow constraints with identical names on the same
relation.

The attached patch thus removes the note in the docs.

dae896b67d Since my name has a non-ascii-letter in it, it's often spelled wrong. In
the latest release notes there is a latin1 character that shouldn't be
there so I made a patch to fix that. This patch also fixes some old
entries that uses o instead of &ouml; (which is also wrong but not as
bad as including a latin1 character in the sgml file).

d20901a39b Allow to_char(interval) and to_char(time) to use AM/PM specifications.
Map them to a single day, so '30 hours' is 'AM'.

Have to_char(interval) and to_char(time) use "HH", "HH12" as 12-hour
intervals, rather than bypass and print the full interval hours.  This
is neeeded because to_char(time) is mapped to interval in this function.
Intervals should use "HH24", and document suggestion.

Allow "D" format specifiers for interval/time.
