Update documentation for backslashes to mention escape string syntax
...
more, and standard_conforming_strings less, because in the future non-E
strings will not treat backslashes specially.
Also use E'' strings where backslashes are used in examples. (The
existing examples would have drawn warnings.)
Backpatch to 8.2.X.

Fix handling of CC (century) format spec in to_date/to_char. According to
...
standard convention the 21st century runs from 2001-2100, not 2000-2099,
so make it work like that. Per bug #2885 from Akio Iwaasa.
Backpatch to 8.2, but no further, since this is really a definitional
change; users of older branches are probably more interested in stability.

an optarg). Add some comments noting that code in three different files has
to be kept in sync. Fix erroneous description of -S switch (it sets work_mem

subtransaction are released if the subtransaction aborts --- in user-level

Change pg_stat_all_tables and sister views to put the recently-added
...
vacuum/analyze timestamp columns at the end, rather than at a random
spot in the middle as in the original patch. This was deemed more usable
as well as less likely to break existing application code. initdb forced
accordingly. In passing, remove former kluge for initializing
pg_stat_file()'s pg_proc entry --- bootstrap mode was fixed recently
so that this can be done without any hacks, but I overlooked this usage.
