least two people have already gotten seriously confused by.  Also, add an
opr_sanity test to check that we don't in future violate the newly minted
policy of not having built-in aggregates with the same name and different
numbers of parameters.  Per discussion of a complaint from Thom Brown.

of the messages.  Also, adjust \connect's similar messages to match, and
deal with 8.2-era violation of basic translatability guidelines there.

Based on a patch by, and further ideas from, Alexander Korotkov.

Jeff Davis, with slight editorialization by me.

Block elements with verbatim formatting (literallayout, programlisting,
screen, synopsis) should be aligned at column 0 independent of the surrounding
SGML, because whitespace is significant, and indenting them creates erratic
whitespace in the output.  The CSS stylesheets already take care of indenting
the output.

Assorted markup improvements to go along with it.

table with a <variablelist> carrying the same information.  Previously the
9.0 documentation was failing to build as a US-size PDF file.  It's quite
obscure what the real problem is or why this avoids it, but we need a hack
now so we can build docs for beta4.

In passing do a bit of editing in the AIX installation docs, in particular
remove a long-obsolete claim that the regression tests are likely to fail.

Avoid hard-coding lockmode used for many altering DDL commands, allowing easier
future changes of lock levels. Implementation of initial analysis on DDL
sub-commands, so that many lock levels are now at ShareUpdateExclusiveLock or
ShareRowExclusiveLock, allowing certain DDL not to block reads/writes.
First of number of planned changes in this area; additional docs required
when full project complete.

I've added a quote_all_identifiers GUC which affects the behavior
of the backend, and a --quote-all-identifiers argument to pg_dump
and pg_dumpall which sets the GUC and also affects the quoting done
internally by those applications.

David Christensen. Reviewed by Steve Singer.  Some further changes by me.

Normally, we automatically restart after a backend crash, but in some
cases when PostgreSQL is invoked by clusterware it may be desirable to
suppress this behavior, so we provide an option which does this.
Since no existing GUC group quite fits, create a new group called
"error handling options" for this and the previously undocumented GUC
exit_on_error, which is now documented.

This change should be publicized to driver maintainers at once and
release-noted as an incompatibility with previous releases.

This adds a libpq connection parameter requirepeer that specifies the user
