dd0279b1ba Document the precision arguments for date/time types per SQL9x.
Update the list of recognized time zones.
Document the range of arguments allowed for SET TIME ZONE.
Still need to add info on other date/time symbols (e.g. "AM", "T")
 and to freshen the docs on the date/time parsing rules.

ec62ba9361 Try to be a little bit clearer about the implications of GRANT TO PUBLIC
and REVOKE FROM PUBLIC: the latter is not the same as 'revoke from all
users', but the ref page blurred the difference.

hiding it in the command reference page for CREATE SEQUENCE.

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.

f9e6e27c87 Break transformCreateStmt() into multiple routines and make
transformAlterStmt() use these routines, instead of having lots of
duplicate (not to mention should-have-been-duplicate) code.
Adding a column with a CHECK constraint actually works now,
and the tests to reject unsupported DEFAULT and NOT NULL clauses
actually fire now.  ALTER TABLE ADD PRIMARY KEY works, modulo
having to have created the column(s) NOT NULL already.

2e5fda7b7e DROP AGGREGATE and COMMENT ON AGGREGATE now accept the expected syntax
'aggname (aggtype)'.  The old syntax 'aggname aggtype' is still accepted
for backwards compatibility.  Fix pg_dump, which was actually broken for
most cases of user-defined aggregates.  Clean up error messages associated
with these commands.

f2c657375d Add CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION syntax to allow replacing a function
definition without changing the function's OID, thereby not breaking
rules, views, triggers, etc that depend on it.  From Gavin Sherry.
