2005-10-10Remove the DELETEs from pg_shadow and pg_group that pg_dumpall used toTom Lane
emit when given the --clean option, in favor of individual DROP ROLE commands. The old technique could not possibly work in 8.1, and was never a very good idea anyway IMHO. The DROP ROLE approach has the defect that the DROPs will fail for roles that own objects or have privileges, but perhaps we can improve that later.

2005-10-06Minor tweaks for PL/PgSQL documentation.Neil Conway
2005-10-06Revise pgstats stuff to fix the problems with not counting accessesTom Lane
generated by bitmap index scans. Along the way, simplify and speed up the code for counting sequential and index scans; it was both confusing and inefficient to be taking care of that in the per-tuple loops, IMHO. initdb forced because of internal changes in pg_stat view definitions.

2005-10-02Change nextval and other sequence functions to specify their sequenceTom Lane
argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string. The frontend conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass. This provides backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument is explicitly typed as 'text'. When the argument is just an unadorned literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the stored representation will be an OID. This solves longstanding problems with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or moving them to another schema. All per recent discussion. Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).

relocated after installation. We can't trust the installation paths inserted into Makefile.global by configure, so instead we must get the paths from pg_config. This requires extending pg_config to support all the separately-configurable path names, but that was on TODO anyway.
