option settings. Sort out SIGHUP vs BACKEND -- there is no total ordering
here, so make explicit checks. Add comments explaining all of this.
Removed permissions check on SHOW command.
Add examine_subclass to the game, rename to SQL_inheritance to fit the
official data model better. Adjust documentation.
Standalone backend needs to reset all options before it starts. To
facilitate that, have IsUnderPostmaster be set by the postmaster itself,
don't wait for the magic -p switch.
Also make sure that all environment variables and argv's survive
init_ps_display(). Use strdup where necessary.
Have initdb make configuration files (postgresql.conf, pg_hba.conf) mode
0600 -- having configuration files is no fun if you can't edit them.
we'll get there one day.
Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.
Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.

that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.
Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.
Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.
Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.
more restriction for fretful users. The current PG allow define only
NO-CREATE-DB and NO-CREATE-USER restriction, but for some users I need
NO-CREATE-TABLE and NO-LOCK-TABLE.
This patch add to current code NOCREATETABLE and NOLOCKTABLE feature:
CREATE USER username
[ WITH
[ SYSID uid ]
[ PASSWORD 'password' ] ]
[ CREATEDB | NOCREATEDB ] [ CREATEUSER | NOCREATEUSER ]
-> [ CREATETABLE | NOCREATETABLE ] [ LOCKTABLE | NOLOCKTABLE ]
...etc.
If CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE is not specific in CREATE USER command,
as default is set CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE (true).
A user with NOCREATETABLE restriction can't call CREATE TABLE or
SELECT INTO commands, only create temp table is allow for him.

That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration,
some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of
options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste.
pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K,
-Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q).
Added to configure an --enable-syslog option.
changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)
key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle.
An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL
handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions).
NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.
Rearrange handling of VACUUMs so that they are certain to be executed
as superuser not some random user; also, do not forget to vacuum
template1 itself.
