Unlike our other array functions, this considers the total number of
elements across all dimensions, and returns 0 rather than NULL when the
array has no elements. But it seems that both of those behaviors are
almost universally disliked, so hopefully that's OK.

krb5 has been deprecated since 8.3, and the recommended way to do
Kerberos authentication is using the GSSAPI authentication method
(which is still fully supported).
libpq retains the ability to identify krb5 authentication, but only
gives an error message about it being unsupported. Since all authentication
is initiated from the backend, there is no need to keep it at all
in the backend.

Tablespaces have a few options which can be set on them to give PG hints
as to how the tablespace behaves (perhaps it's faster for sequential
scans, or better able to handle random access, etc). These options were
only available through the ALTER TABLESPACE command.
This adds the ability to set these options at CREATE TABLESPACE time,
removing the need to do both a CREATE TABLESPACE and ALTER TABLESPACE to
get the correct options set on the tablespace.

This adds a 'MOVE' sub-command to ALTER TABLESPACE which allows moving sets of
objects from one tablespace to another. This can be extremely handy and avoids
a lot of error-prone scripting. ALTER TABLESPACE ... MOVE will only move
objects the user owns, will notify the user if no objects were found, and can
be used to move ALL objects or specific types of objects (TABLES, INDEXES, or
MATERIALIZED VIEWS).

This function provides a way of generating version 4 (pseudorandom) UUIDs
based on pgcrypto's PRNG. The main reason for doing this is that the
OSSP UUID library depended on by contrib/uuid-ossp is becoming more and
more of a porting headache, so we need an alternative for people who can't
install that. A nice side benefit though is that this implementation is
noticeably faster than uuid-ossp's uuid_generate_v4() function.

The + modifier of \do didn't use to do anything, but now it adds an oprcode
column. This is useful both as an additional form of documentation of what
the operator does, and to save a step when finding out properties of the
underlying function.

Primarily, explain where to find the system-wide psqlrc file, per recent
gripe from John Sutton. Do some general wordsmithing and improve the
markup, too.
Also adjust psqlrc.sample so its comments about file location are somewhat
trustworthy. (Not sure why we bother with this file when it's empty,
but whatever.)
Back-patch to 9.2 where the startup file naming scheme was last changed.

We haven't wanted to do this in the past on the grounds that in rare
cases the original xmin value will be needed for forensic purposes, but
commit 37484ad2aacef5ec794f4dd3d5cf814475180a78 removes that objection,
so now we can.
Per extensive discussion, among many people, on pgsql-hackers.

Some recent patches seem not to have grasped the concept that the catalogs

Commit 37484ad2aacef5ec794f4dd3d5cf814475180a78 invalidated a good
chunk of documentation, so patch it up to reflect the new state of
play. Along the way, patch remaining documentation references to
FrozenXID to say instead FrozenTransactionId, so that they match the
way we actually spell it in the code.

This patch introduces generic support for ordered-set and hypothetical-set
aggregate functions, as well as implementations of the instances defined in
SQL:2008 (percentile_cont(), percentile_disc(), rank(), dense_rank(),
percent_rank(), cume_dist()). We also added mode() though it is not in the
spec, as well as versions of percentile_cont() and percentile_disc() that
can compute multiple percentile values in one pass over the data.
Unlike the original submission, this patch puts full control of the sorting
process in the hands of the aggregate's support functions. To allow the
support functions to find out how they're supposed to sort, a new API
function AggGetAggref() is added to nodeAgg.c. This allows retrieval of
the aggregate call's Aggref node, which may have other uses beyond the
immediate need. There is also support for ordered-set aggregates to
install cleanup callback functions, so that they can be sure that
infrastructure such as tuplesort objects gets cleaned up.
In passing, make some fixes in the recently-added support for variadic
aggregates, and make some editorial adjustments in the recent FILTER
additions for aggregates. Also, simplify use of IsBinaryCoercible() by
allowing it to succeed whenever the target type is ANY or ANYELEMENT.
It was inconsistent that it dealt with other polymorphic target types
but not these.

This fixes a problem noted as a followup to bug #8648: if a query has a
semantically-empty target list, e.g. SELECT * FROM zero_column_table,
ruleutils.c will dump it as a syntactically-empty target list, which was
not allowed. There doesn't seem to be any reliable way to fix this by
hacking ruleutils (note in particular that the originally zero-column table
might since have had columns added to it); and even if we had such a fix,
it would do nothing for existing dump files that might contain bad syntax.
The best bet seems to be to relax the syntactic restriction.
Also, add parse-analysis errors for SELECT DISTINCT with no columns (after
*-expansion) and RETURNING with no columns. These cases previously
produced unexpected behavior because the parsed Query looked like it had
no DISTINCT or RETURNING clause, respectively. If anyone ever offers
a plausible use-case for this, we could work a bit harder on making the
situation distinguishable.
Arguably this is a bug fix that should be back-patched, but I'm worried
that there may be client apps or PLs that expect "SELECT ;" to throw a
syntax error. The issue doesn't seem important enough to risk changing
behavior in minor releases.

WAL records of hint bit updates is useful to tools that want to examine
which pages have been modified. In particular, this is required to make
the pg_rewind tool safe (without checksums).
This can also be used to test how much extra WAL-logging would occur if
you enabled checksums, without actually enabling them (which you can't
currently do without re-initdb'ing).

When wal_level=logical, we'll log columns from the old tuple as
configured by the REPLICA IDENTITY facility added in commit
07cacba983ef79be4a84fcd0e0ca3b5fcb85dd65. This makes it possible
a properly-configured logical replication solution to correctly
follow table updates even if they change the chosen key columns,
or, with REPLICA IDENTITY FULL, even if the table has no key at
all. Note that updates which do not modify the replica identity
column won't log anything extra, making the choice of a good key
(i.e. one that will rarely be changed) important to performance
when wal_level=logical is configured.
Each insert, update, or delete to a catalog table will also log
the CMIN and/or CMAX values of stamped by the current transaction.
This is necessary because logical decoding will require access to
historical snapshots of the catalog in order to decode some data
types, and the CMIN/CMAX values that we may need in order to judge
row visibility may have been overwritten by the time we need them.

SQL-standard TABLE() is a subset of UNNEST(); they deal with arrays and
other collection types. This feature, however, deals with set-returning
functions. Use a different syntax for this feature to keep open the
possibility of implementing the standard TABLE().

This sets up ECDH key exchange, when compiling against OpenSSL that
supports EC. Then the ECDHE-RSA and ECDHE-ECDSA cipher suites can be
used for SSL connections. The latter one means that EC keys are now
usable.
The reason for EC key exchange is that it's faster than DHE and it
allows to go to higher security levels where RSA will be horribly slow.
There is also new GUC option ssl_ecdh_curve that specifies the curve
name used for ECDH. It defaults to "prime256v1", which is the most
common curve in use in HTTPS.

By default, OpenSSL (and SSL/TLS in general) lets the client cipher
order take priority. This is OK for browsers where the ciphers were
tuned, but few PostgreSQL client libraries make the cipher order
configurable. So it makes sense to have the cipher order in
postgresql.conf take priority over client defaults.
This patch adds the setting "ssl_prefer_server_ciphers" that can be
turned on so that server cipher order is preferred. Per discussion,
this now defaults to on.
