mentions of release 7.3 or later.  The release notes were not modified,
so the changes are still documented, just not in the main docs.

The named-parameter support has been dead code for many years anyway,
and recent profiling suggests that the searching was costing a noticeable
amount of performance for complex queries.

this twice in the past few months, seems like it should go into CVS.

of rejecting palloc(0).  Also, tweak like_selectivity() to avoid assuming
the presented pattern is nonempty; although that assumption is valid,
it doesn't really help much, and the new coding is more correct anyway
since it properly handles redundant wildcards.  In combination these
changes should eliminate a Coverity warning noted by Martijn.

extra identification information that really ought to be checked, but
as the code stood, this was only checked when we switched sequentially
into a new WAL file, or if by chance the starting checkpoint record was
within the first page.  This patch ensures that we will detect bogus
'long header' information before we start replaying the WAL sequence.

as support in their gcc.

our to_* functions were not handling that.

no evidence that any currently-supported platform needs this, and good
reason to think that any platform that did need it couldn't use the static
libraries anyway --- libpq, at least, has circular references.  Removing
the code shuts up tsort warnings about the circular references on some
platforms.

8.0), and add as suggestion to use log_min_error_statement for this
purpose.  I also fixed the code so the first EXECUTE has it's prepare,
rather than the last which is what was in the current code.  Also remove
"protocol" prefix for SQL EXECUTE output because it is not accurate.

Backpatch to 8.1.X.

to occur between pg_start_backup() and pg_stop_backup(), even if the GUC
setting full_page_writes is OFF.  Per discussion, doing this in combination
with the already-existing checkpoint during pg_start_backup() should ensure
safety against partial page updates being included in the backup.  We do
not have to force full page writes to occur during normal PITR operation,
as I had first feared.

	CREATE AGGREGATE aggname (input_type) (parameter_list)
along with the old syntax where the input type was named in the parameter
list.  This fits more naturally with the way that the aggregate is identified
in DROP AGGREGATE and other utility commands; furthermore it has a natural
extension to handle multiple-input aggregates, where the basetype-parameter
method would get ugly.  In fact, this commit fixes the grammar and all the
utility commands to support multiple-input aggregates; but DefineAggregate
rejects it because the executor isn't fixed yet.
I didn't do anything about treating agg(*) as a zero-input aggregate instead
of artificially making it a one-input aggregate, but that should be considered
in combination with supporting multi-input aggregates.
