joinclause doesn't use any outer-side vars) requires a "bushy" plan to be
created.  The normal heuristic to avoid joins with no joinclause has to be
overridden in that case.  Problem is new in 8.2; before that we forced the
outer join order anyway.  Per example from Teodor.

works, but some platform templates overwrote it without asking.

NULLs.

representing externally-supplied values, since the APIs that carry such
values only specify type not typmod.  However, for PARAM_SUBLINK Params
it is handy to carry the typmod of the sublink's output column.  This
is a much cleaner solution for the recently reported 'could not find
pathkey item to sort' and 'failed to find unique expression in subplan
tlist' bugs than my original 8.2-compatible patch.  Besides, someday we
might want to support typmods for external parameters ...

in normal operation, and we can avoid rewriting pg_control at every log
segment switch if we don't insist that these values be valid.  Reducing
the number of pg_control updates is a good idea for both performance and
reliability.  It does make pg_resetxlog's life a bit harder, but that seems
a good tradeoff; and anyway the change to pg_resetxlog amounts to automating
something people formerly needed to do by hand, namely look at the existing
pg_xlog files to make sure the new WAL start point was past them.

In passing, change the wording of xlog.c's "database system was interrupted"
messages: describe the pg_control timestamp as "last known up at" rather than
implying it is the exact time of service interruption.  With this change the
timestamp will generally be the time of the last checkpoint, which could be
many minutes before the failure; and we've already seen indications that
people tend to misinterpret the old wording.

the nonexistent ShowStats variable is simply removed, per Gavin Sherry.

release it in a subtransaction abort, but this neglects possibility that
someone outside SPI already did.  Fix is for spi.c to forget about a tuptable
as soon as it's handed it back to the caller.
Per bug #2817 from Michael Andreen.

rearrangeable outer joins and the WHERE clause is non-strict and mentions
only nullable-side relations.  New bug in 8.2, caused by new logic to allow
rearranging outer joins.  Per bug #2807 from Ross Cohen; thanks to Jeff
Davis for producing a usable test case.

a sublink's test expression have the correct vartypmod, rather than defaulting
to -1.  There's at least one place where this is important because we're
expecting these Vars to be exactly equal() to those appearing in the subplan
itself.  This is a pretty klugy solution --- it would likely be cleaner to
change Param nodes to include a typmod field --- but we can't do that in the
already-released 8.2 branch.
Per bug report from Hubert Fongarnand.

identify long-running transactions. Since we already need to record
the transaction-start time (e.g. for now()), we don't need any
additional system calls to report this information.

Catversion bumped, initdb required.

capitalize the strings like sentences. Remove unnecessarily
specific descriptions of the units used by GUC variables, since
we now allow any reasonable unit to be specified.

FormatMessage of windows cannot consider the encoding of the database.
However, I should try the solution now. It is necessary to clear the
problem.

Multi character-code exists together in message and log. It doesn't
consider
the data base encoding that the user intended....

The user in multi-byte country can try this.
