Add ENCRYPTED/UNENCRYPTED option to CREATE/ALTER user.
Add password_encryption postgresql.conf option.
Update wire protocol version to 2.1.
syntax for language names (instead of 'string').
createlang now handles the case where a second language uses the same call
handler as an already installed language (e.g., plperl/plperlu).
droplang now handles the reverse case, i.e., dropping a language where
the call handler is still used by another language. Moreover, droplang
can now be used to drop any user-defined language, not just the supplied
ones.
default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them.
Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now;
pg_description has a three-column key instead of one.
Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey
has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and
triggers in a valid order.
initdb forced.
Note: I didn't force an initdb, figuring that one today was enough.
However, there is a new function in pg_proc.h, and pg_dump won't be
able to dump partial indexes until you add that function.

they used to be required to appear in.
Also, some changes from Tom Lane to create a FULL option for VACUUM;
it doesn't do anything yet, but I needed to change many of the same
files to make that happen, so now seemed like a good time.
constraint. This case (a) is useless, (b) violates SQL92, and
(c) is certain to cause a failure downstream when we try to create
an index with duplicated column names. So give an appropriate error
message instead of letting the index failure occur. Per report from
Colin Strickland. NOTE: currently, CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo(f1,f1)
still fails with 'cannot insert duplicate key' error. Should we
change that too? What about functional indexes?
IS TRUE, etc, with some degree of verisimilitude. Split out
selectivity support functions from builtins.h into a new header
file selfuncs.h, so as to reduce the number of header files builtins.h
must depend on. Fix a few missing inclusions exposed thereby.

Ok, here it is. Cleared the ctx comment too - after -p
it will be PGC_BACKEND in any case.

tests to return the correct results per SQL9x when given NULL inputs.
Reimplement these tests as well as IS [NOT] NULL to have their own
expression node types, instead of depending on special functions.
From Joe Conway, with a little help from Tom Lane.
for GRANT/REVOKE is now just that, not "CHANGE".
On the way, migrate some of the aclitem internal representation away from
the parser and build a real parse tree instead. Also add some 'const'
qualifiers.

since there's noplace to hang a condition on a utility statement.
We caught the other case (attempt to attach a condition at rewrite time)
awhile ago, but this one escaped notice until now.
to do that, but inconsistently.) Make bit type reject too short input,
too, per SQL. Since it no longer zero pads, 'zpbit*' has been renamed to
'bit*' in the source, hence initdb.

a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too).
pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are
stored. ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values,
not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values). Random
sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large
tables. The number of values and histogram bins collected is now
user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command.
There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere
they could be in the planner. But the remaining changes for this project
should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before.
A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison
routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.
This is an extension to the SQL9x standard, but is consistant with usage
of the underlying date_part() function used to implement it.

code knew for sure whether it was dealing with 'x.f' or 'f(x)' syntax;
maybe we can fix that in a future cycle.
on Alpha (because parser mistakenly assumes that a nonoverflow result
from strtol means the value will fit into int4). A scan for other uses
of strtol and strtoul found a couple other places with the same mistake;
fix them too. The changes are all conditional on HAVE_LONG_INT_64 to
avoid complaints from compilers that think x != x is a silly test
(cf. pg_atoi).
