conversion procs and conversions are added in initdb. Currently
supported conversions are:

UTF-8(UNICODE) <--> SQL_ASCII, ISO-8859-1 to 16, EUC_JP, EUC_KR,
		    EUC_CN, EUC_TW, SJIS, BIG5, GBK, GB18030, UHC,
		    JOHAB, TCVN

EUC_JP <--> SJIS
EUC_TW <--> BIG5
MULE_INTERNAL <--> EUC_JP, SJIS, EUC_TW, BIG5

Note that initial contents of pg_conversion system catalog are created
in the initdb process. So doing initdb required is ideal, it's
possible to add them to your databases by hand, however. To accomplish
this:

psql -f your_postgresql_install_path/share/conversion_create.sql your_database

So I did not bump up the version in cataversion.h.

this thing.

zero turns off the timer.

pg_relcheck is gone; CHECK, UNIQUE, PRIMARY KEY, and FOREIGN KEY
constraints all have real live entries in pg_constraint.  pg_depend
exists, and RESTRICT/CASCADE options work on most kinds of DROP;
however, pg_depend is not yet very well populated with dependencies.
(Most of the ones that are present at this point just replace formerly
hardwired associations, such as the implicit drop of a relation's pg_type
entry when the relation is dropped.)  Need to add more logic to create
dependency entries, improve pg_dump to dump constraints in place of
indexes and triggers, and add some regression tests.

This is the first cut toward CREATE CONVERSION/DROP CONVERSION implementaion.
The commands can now add/remove tuples to the new pg_conversion system
catalog, but that's all. Still need work to make them actually working.
Documentations, regression tests also need work.

are managed as per request.

Moved from merging with table attributes to applying themselves during
coerce_type() and coerce_type_typmod.

Regression tests altered to test the cast() scenarios.

Reused the Expr node to hold DISTINCT which strongly resembles
 the existing OP info. Define DISTINCT_EXPR which strongly resembles
 the existing OPER_EXPR opType, but with handling for NULLs required
 by SQL99.
We have explicit support for single-element DISTINCT comparisons
 all the way through to the executor. But, multi-element DISTINCTs
 are handled by expanding into a comparison tree in gram.y as is done for
 other row comparisons. Per discussions, it might be desirable to move
 this into one or more purpose-built nodes to be handled in the backend.
Define the optional ROW keyword and token per SQL99.
 This allows single-element row constructs, which were formerly disallowed
 due to shift/reduce conflicts with parenthesized a_expr clauses.
Define the SQL99 TREAT() function. Currently, use as a synonym for CAST().

two small changes to the API since last patch, which hopefully completes
the decoupling of composite function support from SRF specific support.

Second cut attached. This one just adds a boolean option to the existing
function to indicate that implicit schemas are to be included (or not).
I remembered the docs as well this time :-)

HeapTupleHeaderData in setter and getter macros called
HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin, HeapTupleHeaderSetXmin etc.

It also introduces a "virtual" field xvac by defining
HeapTupleHeaderGetXvac and HeapTupleHeaderSetXvac.  Xvac is used by
VACUUM, in fact it is stored in t_cmin.

hex digits with no separators, eg 00AABBCCDDEE. This is easily remedied
with the following patch (against 7.2.1):

Will optimize the case for repeated calls for the same expression,
 which seems to be the most common case. Formerly, always searched
 from the first entry.
May want to look at the least-recently-used algorithm to make sure it
 is identifying the right slots to reclaim. Seems silly to do math when
 it seems that we could simply use an incrementing counter...

(ODBC support has not been committed yet. left for Hiroshi...)

implementation didn't work for Sort nodes associated with Append plans.

Implement SQL99 SIMILAR TO as a synonym for our existing operator "~".
Implement SQL99 regular expression SUBSTRING(string FROM pat FOR escape).
 Extend the definition to make the FOR clause optional.
 Define textregexsubstr() to actually implement this feature.
Update the regression test to include these new string features.
 All tests pass.
Rename the regular expression support routines from "pg95_xxx" to "pg_xxx".
Define CREATE CHARACTER SET in the parser per SQL99. No implementation yet.

 precision storage format. Previously applied the same math as used for the
 64-bit integer storage format case, which was wrong.
 Problem introduced recently when the 64-bit storage format was
 implemented.

and just slow down normal operations (only fractionally, but a cycle saved
is a cycle earned).  Improve documentation of AMI_OVERRIDE behavior.

transaction, so as to avoid returning them out of the index AM.  Saves
repeated heap_fetch operations on frequently-updated rows.  Also detect
queries on unique keys (equality to all columns of a unique index), and
don't bother continuing scan once we have found first match.

Killing is implemented in the btree and hash AMs, but not yet in rtree
or gist, because there isn't an equally convenient place to do it in
those AMs (the outer amgetnext routine can't do it without re-pinning
the index page).

Did some small cleanup on APIs of HeapTupleSatisfies, heap_fetch, and
index_insert to make this a little easier.

function body (and other properties) as a function in the language
is created.  This generalizes ad hoc code that already existed for
the built-in languages.

The validation now happens after the pg_proc tuple of the new function
is created, so it is possible to define recursive SQL functions.

Add some regression test cases that cover bogus function definition
attempts.

reference count.  This avoids leaving dangling pointers around, as in
recent bug report against sequences (bug# 671).

  CREATE VIEW as SELECT CTID, ....
  SELECT currtid( a view, ..).

a frozen (copied) snapshot too.  Move execMain's snapshot copying code
out into a subroutine in case we find other places that need it.
