Rip out table expression section from SQL syntax chapter and develop it

into new chapter on query (SELECT) syntax. In the end this should become
a narrative and example-filled counterpart to the SELECT reference page.

In the Programmer's Guide, the sample code for accessing large objects
...
from libpq has two functions with memory leaks.
The functions pickout() and overwrite() malloc space for buf which is
never freed.
See

This problem is also in the 6.5 docs at

Approaching the current documentation from a position of ignorance, I
...
find it ambiguous. I propose something along the lines of the
following patch to clarify it. Thanks.
(Alternatively, perhaps the code could maintain a count of nested
calls to SPI_connect/SPI_finish. But I didn't try to write that
patch.)

Remove not-really-standard implementation of CREATE TABLE's UNDER clause,
...
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.
