useful for QPS measurements.

'conflicting datestyle specifications' for input that's actually only
redundant, such as SET DATESTYLE = MDY, MDY.  Per recent gripe.

this in turn causes CREATE TABLE AS in plpgsql to set ROW_COUNT.
This is how it behaved before 7.4; I had unintentionally changed the
behavior in a bit of sloppy micro-optimization.

psql.  i.e. "\pset format troff-ms".  The patch also corrects some
problems with the "latex" format, notably defining an extra column in
the output table, and correcting some alignment issues; it also
changes the output to match the border setting as documented in the
manual page and as shown with the "aligned" format.

The troff-ms output is mostly identical to the latex output allowing
for the differences between the two typesetters.

The output should be saved in a file and piped as follows:

  cat file | tbl | troff -T ps -ms > file.ps
or
  tbl file | troff -T ps -ms > file.ps

Because it contains tabs, you'll need to redirect psql output or use
"script", rather than pasting from a terminal window, due to the tabs
which can be replaced with spaces.

of a relation in a flat 'joininfo' list.  The former arrangement grouped
the join clauses according to the set of unjoined relids used in each;
however, profiling on test cases involving lots of joins proves that
that data structure is a net loss.  It takes more time to group the
join clauses together than is saved by avoiding duplicate tests later.
It doesn't help any that there are usually not more than one or two
clauses per group ...

as well as the existing pg_catalog entries for prefix and postfix %.
These have never been documented, though they did appear in one old
regression test.  This avoids surprising behavior in cases like
"SELECT -25 % -10".  Per recent discussion.
Note: although there is a catalog change here, I did not force initdb
since there's no harm in leaving the inaccessible entries in one's
copy of pg_operator.

essential for PITR log shipping and for 2PC.

While playing around, I got the following error message:

--
FATAL:  pre-existing shared memory block (key 5432001, ID 90898435) is
still in use
HINT:  If you're sure there are no old server processes still running,
remove the shared memory block with the command "ipcrm", or just delete
the file "/home/hlinnaka/pgsql/data/postmaster.pid".
```

Thats normal because I used "kill -9 postmaster" to shut down.

The hint advises me to use "ipcrm", but there's the "ipcclean" script in
bin for just this purpose. The hint should probably advise to use
ipcclean.

The attached patch replaces all occurances of "ipcrm" with "ipcclean" in
src/backend/utils/init/miscinit.c and all the translations in
src/backend/po.

While reviewing the patch, I noticed a likely typo in hr.po. While I
don't
speak Croatian, the translation seems to advise to use the "icpm(1)"
command. I changed that to "ipcclean" too.

up have the standard layout with unused space between pd_lower and pd_upper.
When this is set, XLogInsert will omit the unused space without bothering
to scan it to see if it's zero.  That saves time in XLogInsert, and also
allows reversion of my earlier patch to make PageRepairFragmentation et al
explicitly re-zero freed space.  Per suggestion by Heikki Linnakangas.

That code is never going to be used in the foreseeable future, and
where it's more than a stub it's making the redo routines harder to
read.

This reduces find_base_rel from O(N) to O(1) without any real penalty.
While find_base_rel isn't one of the major bottlenecks in any profile
I've seen so far, it was starting to creep up on the radar screen
for complex queries --- so might as well fix it.

a new PlannerInfo struct, which is passed around instead of the bare

code-beautification exercise, but it does open the door to making
larger changes to the planner data structures without having to muck
with the widely-known Query struct.

1. Rename spi_return_next to return_next.
2. Add a new test for return_next.
3. Update the expected output.
4. Update the documentation.
