entries, per pghackers discussion. This fixes aggregates to live in
namespaces, and also simplifies/speeds up lookup in parse_func.c.
Also, add a 'proimplicit' flag to pg_proc that controls whether a type
coercion function may be invoked implicitly, or only explicitly. The
current settings of these flags are more permissive than I would like,
but we will need to debate and refine the behavior; for now, I avoided
breaking regression tests as much as I could.
insert on a view), and noticed that psql wouldn't show the list of rules
set up on a view, like it does for tables.
The fix was extremely simple, so I figured I'd share it. Not sure what
the standard is for communicating these things, so I've attached the diff
file for /src/bin/psql/describe.c.

volatile), rather than the old cachable/noncachable distinction. This
allows indexscan optimizations in many places where we formerly didn't.
Also, add a pronamespace column to pg_proc (it doesn't do anything yet,
however).
records containing apostrophes in text fields without altering the appearance
of the entry in the GUI interface (by copying the fldval to fldvalfixed).
This will alleviate the need for users to create a record and then go back to
edit apostrophes into the text they entered.

A new pg_hba.conf column, USER
Allow specifiction of lists of users separated by commas
Allow group names specified by +
Allow include files containing lists of users specified by @
Allow lists of databases, and database files
Allow samegroup in database column to match group name matching dbname
Removal of secondary password files
Remove pg_passwd utility
Lots of code cleanup in user.c and hba.c
New data/global/pg_pwd format
New data/global/pg_group file
path. The default behavior if no per-user schemas are created is that
all users share a 'public' namespace, thus providing behavior backwards
compatible with 7.2 and earlier releases. Probably the semantics and
default setting will need to be fine-tuned, but this is a start.

o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
matches the sequence name from pg_class. This fails if the sequence has
been renamed, and seems rather pointless in any case.
Also improve a couple of error messages about inconsistencies.
names. This is a temporary measure to allow backwards compatibility with
7.2 and earlier pg_dump. 7.2.1 and later pg_dump will double-quote mixed
case names in \connect. Once we feel that older dumps are not a problem
anymore, we can revert this change and treat \connect arguments as normal
SQL identifiers.
DATABASE; also make it use SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands rather than
\connect commands. This makes it possible to restore databases belonging
to users who do not have CREATEDB privilege. It should also become at
least somewhat feasible to run the restore script under password
authentication --- you'll get one superuser password prompt per database,
rather than a large number of challenges for passwords belonging to
varying unspecified user names.
