- more work from the SGML police
- some grammar improvements: rewriting a paragraph or two, replacing
contractions where (IMHO) appropriate
- fix missing utility commands in lock mode docs
- improve CLUSTER, REINDEX, SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION ref pages

Implement SQL99 SIMILAR TO as a synonym for our existing operator "~".
Implement SQL99 regular expression SUBSTRING(string FROM pat FOR escape).
Extend the definition to make the FOR clause optional.
Define textregexsubstr() to actually implement this feature.
Update the regression test to include these new string features.
All tests pass.
Rename the regular expression support routines from "pg95_xxx" to "pg_xxx".
Define CREATE CHARACTER SET in the parser per SQL99. No implementation yet.
and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause
instead, per recent discussion in pghackers. Also fix implementation
of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze(). See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just
after a SET TIMEZONE command. gram.y really has to be an invariant
transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that
can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.
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.
Add some chapters on new topics.
Change to referencing OASIS/Docbook v3.1 rather than Davenport/Docbook v3.0
Grepped for and fixed apparent tag mangling from emacs
"Normalize" operation. Should be the last of those.
