a666d28543 Add note that TRUNCATE uses an access exclusive lock. This apparently 
surprised/confused some users.

5434e46986 Add note to the shared memory sizing table about needing to use page count in 
shared_buffers and wal_buffers, not size in bytes.  Per discussion.

4da65a23e7 Code review for CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW patch. Do things in a saner order to 
result in hopefully-less-confusing error messages when the new definition
isn't compatible with the old; minor other cleanup.

5f3724dd7c Support specifying filename for SSL certificate, key, root certificate store 
and certificate revokation list by using connection parameters or environment
variables.

Original patch by Mark Woodward, heavily reworked by Alvaro Herrera and

65e3ea7641 Increase the default value of default_statistics_target from 10 to 100, 
and its maximum value from 1000 to 10000.  ALTER TABLE SET STATISTICS
similarly now allows a value up to 10000.  Per discussion.

17dc173660 To reduce confusion over whether VACUUM FULL is needed for anti-wraparound 
vacuuming (it's not), say "database-wide VACUUM" instead of "full-database
VACUUM" in the relevant hint messages.  Also, document the permissions needed
to do this.  Per today's discussion.

218b4e8dd8 Append major version number and for libraries soname major version number 
to the gettext domain name, to simplify parallel installations.

Also, rename set_text_domain() to pg_bindtextdomain(), because that is what
it does.

3f936aacc0 Add a "LIKE = typename" clause to CREATE TYPE for base types. This allows 
the basic representational details (typlen, typalign, typbyval, typstorage)
to be copied from an existing type rather than listed explicitly in the
CREATE TYPE command.  The immediate reason for this is to provide a simple
solution for add-on modules that want to define types represented as int8,
float4, or float8: as of 8.4 the appropriate PASSEDBYVALUE setting is
platform-specific and so it's hard for a SQL script to know what to do.

This patch fixes the contrib/isn breakage reported by Rushabh Lathia.

1304f297a4 Remove PGINTERVALSTYLE from the set of special environment variables for 
libpq.  As noted by Peter, adding this variable created a risk of unexpected
connection failures when talking to older server versions, and since it
doesn't do anything you can't do with PGOPTIONS, it doesn't seem really
necessary.  Removing it does occasion a few extra lines in pg_regress.c,
but saving a getenv() call per libpq connection attempt is perhaps worth
that anyway.

The information on why the shared libraries are built the way they are
was not relevant to end users and has been made a mailing list archive
link in Makefile.shlib.

I weeded out some really old information along the way.
FAQ_AIX needs separate consideration and will be dealt with later.

18004101ac Modify UPDATE/DELETE WHERE CURRENT OF to use the FOR UPDATE infrastructure to 
locate the target row, if the cursor was declared with FOR UPDATE or FOR
SHARE.  This approach is more flexible and reliable than digging through the
plan tree; for instance it can cope with join cursors.  But we still provide
the old code for use with non-FOR-UPDATE cursors.  Per gripe from Robert Haas.

32cc9e5533 Reduce contrib/intagg to a thin wrapper around the new core functions 
array_agg() and unnest().  We could drop it entirely in the future,
but let's keep it for a release or two as a compatibility assist.
