between Postgres and PostgreSQL.

not all of them attached properly in the post I made a few minutes
ago. Please disregard those earlier files. The diffs in the tar file
replace them.

Fix misspelling of disbursion to dispersion.

that RAND_MAX applies to them, since it doesn't.  Instead add a
config.h parameter MAX_RANDOM_VALUE.  This is currently set at 2^31-1
but could be auto-configured if that ever proves necessary.  Also fix
some outright bugs like calling srand() where srandom() is appropriate.

Fix references to pg_hba.conf(5) since that is no longer a man page.
Make minor repairs to "Compatibility" subsections.

reference page to new configuration system. Big update to administrator's
guide, chapters Runtime environment, Client authentication, and User
management, the latter two were part of the old Security chapter.

PQconnectdb() style connections.

Fixed bug in createdb/alternative location

a config.h #define, and the runtime value can be controlled via SET.

accesses versus sequential accesses, a (very crude) estimate of the
effects of caching on random page accesses, and cost to evaluate WHERE-
clause expressions.  Export critical parameters for this model as SET
variables.  Also, create SET variables for the planner's enable flags
(enable_seqscan, enable_indexscan, etc) so that these can be controlled
more conveniently than via PGOPTIONS.

Planner now estimates both startup cost (cost before retrieving
first tuple) and total cost of each path, so it can optimize queries
with LIMIT on a reasonable basis by interpolating between these costs.
Same facility is a win for EXISTS(...) subqueries and some other cases.

Redesign pathkey representation to achieve a major speedup in planning
(I saw as much as 5X on a 10-way join); also minor changes in planner
to reduce memory consumption by recycling discarded Path nodes and
not constructing unnecessary lists.

Minor cleanups to display more-plausible costs in some cases in
EXPLAIN output.

Initdb forced by change in interface to index cost estimation
functions.

ecpg reference page still needs formatting.

Fix synopsis info thanks to Yves.Martin@ensimag.imag.fr.

Add some internal cross references to select.sgml.

for Irix.

Split reference pages for CREATE TABLE AS and SELECT INTO to allow psgml
 (the emacs parser) to handle parsing.

Adjust tags to get a clean build.

Fix markup.

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ COMMITTED;
                                ^^^^ required

Also note that SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL change
isolevel for _current_ transaction, in accordance with
standard, not for session (ALTER SESSION is used in Oracle,
but it's not implemented currently).

And I would don't mention SET XACTISOLEVEL TO ...
form at all.

Please update set.sgml - I failed to understand all these

SET TIME ZONE { '<REPLACEABLE CLASS="PARAMETER">

now.


for Vadim

should be described like SET TIME ZONE: TO is not allowed, as well
as DEFAULT option. There are only two forms:
