* Fix help text ordering
* Add back --set-session-authorization to pg_dumpall. Updated the docs
for that. Updated help for that.
* Dump ALTER USER commands for the cluster owner ("pgsql"). These are
dumped AFTER the create user and create database commands in case the
permissions to do these have been revoked.
* Dump ALTER OWNER for public schema (because it's possible to change
it). This was done by adding TOC entries for the public schema, and
filtering them out at archiver time. I also save the owner in the TOC
entry just for the public schema.
* Suppress dumping single quotes around schema_path and DateStyle
options when they are set using ALTER USER or ALTER DATABASE. Added a
comment to the steps in guc.c to remind people to update that list.
* Fix dumping in --clean mode against a pre-7.3 server. It just sets
all drop statements to assume the public schema, allowing it to restore
without error.
* Cleaned up text output. eg. Don't output -- Tablespaces comment if
there are none. Same for groups and users.
* Make the commands to DELETE FROM pg_shadow and DELETE FROM pg_group
only be output when -c mode is enabled. I'm not sure why that hasn't
been done before?!?!
This should be good for application asap, after which I will start on
regression dumping 7.0-7.4 databases.

AUTHORIZATION commands by default. Move all GRANT and REVOKE commands
to the end of the dump to avoid restore failures in several situations.
Bring back --use-set-session-authorization option to get previous SET
behaviour

live in database or schema's default tablespace, as per today's discussion.
Also, remove some unused keywords from the grammar (PATH, PENDANT,
VERSION), and fix ALSO, which was added as a keyword but not added
to the keyword classification lists, thus making it worse-than-reserved.
This eliminates the assumption that a serial column's sequence will
have the same name on reload that it was given in the original database.

There are various things left to do: contrib dbsize and oid2name modules
need work, and so does the documentation. Also someone should think about
COMMENT ON TABLESPACE and maybe RENAME TABLESPACE. Also initlocation is
dead, it just doesn't know it yet.

environment variable processing to libpq.
The patch also adds code to our client apps so we set the environment
variable directly based on our binary location, unless it is already
set. This will allow our applications to emit proper locale messages
that are generated in libpq.
WITH/WITHOUT OIDS in dump files. This makes dump files more portable.
I have updated the pg_dump version so old binary dumps will load fine.
Pre-7.5 dumps use WITHOUT OIDS in SQL were needed, so they should be
fine.
in one query, rather than making a separate query for each object that
could have a comment. This costs relatively little space (a few tens of
K typically) and saves substantial time in databases with many objects.
I find it reduces the runtime of 'pg_dump -s regression' by about a
third.
object types, rather than by OID. This should help ensure consistent
dump output from databases that are logically the same but have different
histories, per recent discussion about 'diffing' databases. The patch
is bulky because of renaming of fields, but not very complicated.
Also, do some tweaking to cause BLOB restoration to be done in a better
order, and clean up pg_restore's textual output to exactly match pg_dump.
any restore operation, thereby ensuring that dumped data is interpreted
the same way it was dumped even if the target database has a different
encoding. Per suggestions from Pavel Stehule and others. Also,
simplify scheme for handling check_function_bodies ... we may as well
just set that at the head of the script.
pg_depend to determine a safe dump order. Defaults and check constraints
can be emitted either as part of a table or domain definition, or
separately if that's needed to break a dependency loop. Lots of old
half-baked code for controlling dump order removed.
proposal for eventually deprecating OIDs on user tables that I posted
earlier to pgsql-hackers. pg_dump now always specifies WITH OIDS or
WITHOUT OIDS when dumping a table. The documentation has been updated.

large objects. Dump all these in pg_dump; also add code to pg_dump
user-defined conversions. Make psql's large object code rely on
the backend for inserting/deleting LOB comments, instead of trying to
hack pg_description directly. Documentation and regression tests added.
Christopher Kings-Lynne, code reviewed by Tom
on pgsql-hackers.
A cast is included in the dump output if any of the objects does
not belong to a system namespace and all of the non-system namespace
objects belong to dumped namespaces. System namespace is defined
as nspname begins with "pg_".

AUTHORIZATION clause to specify the desired owner. This allows a
superuser to restore schemas owned by users without CREATE-SCHEMA
permissions (ie, schemas originally created by a superuser using
AUTHORIZATION). --no-owner can be specified to suppress the
AUTHORIZATION clause if need be.
to control object ownership. The use-set-session-authorization and
no-reconnect switches are obsolete (still accepted on the command line,
but they don't do anything). This is a precursor to fixing handling
of CREATE SCHEMA, which will be a separate commit.
getopt_long(). This is more or less the same problem as we saw earlier
with getaddrinfo() and struct addrinfo, and for the same reason: random
user-added libraries might contain the subroutine, but there's no
guarantee we will find the matching header files.
annoyed me the other day while I was documenting my current project. It
makes pg_dump use the same layout for types as for tables, by putting "\n\t"
before the first field and "\n" before the final ");"
Can't really justify this too much except to say I had an itch and I
scratched it ;-)
Andrew Dunstan
dropped columns. Fix by using LEFT JOIN rather than straight join
between pg_attribute and pg_type. Also, use pg_type.oid as input to
format_type, so that we don't get a failure on deleted types of deleted
columns (this may be a change we ought to backpatch to 7.3....).
Alias the appropriate columns back to their original name.
Fixed formatting of a few other places as I went along (indenting)

after the CHECK. Cluster depends on the index name, so I thought it
wise to ensure all names are available, rather than leaving off the
CONSTRAINT "$n" portion for internally named constraints.
CREATE TABLE jkey (col integer primary key);
CREATE TABLE j (col integer REFERENCES jkey);
ALTER TABLE j ADD CHECK(col > 5);
This is a problem in 7.3 series as well as -Tip.

not all SQL identifiers taken from command line arguments. We decided
years ago that that was a bad idea: identifiers taken from the command
line should be treated as literally correct. Remove the inconsistent
code that has crept in recently. Also fix pg_dump so that the combination
of --schema and --table does what you'd expect, namely dump exactly one
table from exactly one schema. Per gripe from Deepak Bhole of Red Hat.
