recent discussion.  The lexer is used for both SQL command text and
backslash commands.  The purpose of this change is to make it easier to
track the behavior of the backend's SQL lexer --- essentially identical
flex rules are now used by psql.  Also, this cleans up a lot of very
squirrelly code in mainloop.c and command.c.  The flex code is somewhat
bulkier than the removed code, but should be lots easier to maintain.

The file timer.c goes into src/backend/port/win32/.

The patch also removes two lines of "printf debugging" accidentally left
in pqsignal.h, in the console control handler.

vacuum delay feature, including updating the docs for Tom's recent
improvements. There is still more work to be done here: for example,
adding some more information on the practical use of cost-based
vacuum delay to the "maintenance" section would probably be a good
idea.

1) Now puts in exactly the same change as the current-cvs mingw code
does. (see
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/mingw/runtime/mingwex/dirent.c?r1=
1.3&r2=1.4, second part of the patch).

2) Updates both xlog.c and slru.c in backend/access/transam/

3) Also updates pg_resetxlog, which also uses readdir() and checks the
errno value after the loop.

Win2K, and possibly all Win32 variants, it is always 0). This causes a
number of problems in the dfmgr.c logic, which basically all revolve
around the fact that *any* two files will appear to have the same inode.

This update to dbmirror provides:

-replication of sequence operations via setval/nextval
-DBMirror.pl support for logging to syslog
-changed the names of the tables to dbmirror_*  (no quotes required)
-Support for writitng SQL statements to files instead of directly to
 a slave database
-More options for DBMirror.pl in the config files.

corner cases that could stand improvement, but it does all the basic
stuff.  A byproduct is that the selectivity routines are no longer
constrained to working on simple Vars; we might in future be able to
improve the behavior for subexpressions that don't match indexes.

  typename to be typedef'ed that cannot be parsed as variable type.
- Allowed some SQL keywords to be used as C variable names.

This commit teaches ANALYZE to store such stats in pg_statistic, but
nothing is done yet about teaching the planner to use 'em.
Also, repair longstanding oversight in separate ANALYZE command: it
updated the pg_class.relpages and reltuples counts for the table proper,
but not for indexes.

	- Removed that old debugging output that I forgot the last time.

vs. timestamptz.  This allows use of indexes for expressions like
  datecol >= date 'today' - interval '1 month'
which were formerly not indexable without casting the righthand side
down from timestamp to date.

Nov 2002: when constant-expression simplification removes all the
aggregate function calls from a query, that doesn't mean we can act as
though there never were any aggregates.  Per bug report from Gabor Szucs.

indexes, it seems like we ought to put another layer of indirection
between the compute_stats functions and the actual data storage.  This
would allow us to compute the values on-the-fly, for example.

Oh ... didn't know that you did a backpatch. Sorry
