-----------
Remove completed TODO items:

< * -Make postmater and postgres options distinct so the postmaster -o
< option is no longer needed
< * -Allow pooled connections to list all prepared statements
<
< This would allow an application inheriting a pooled connection to know
< the statements prepared in the current session.
<
< * -Re-enable the GUC full_page_writes in 8.2 when reliability issues have
< been addressed
< o -Add "include file" functionality in postgresql.conf
< o -Allow per-database permissions to be set via GRANT
<
< Allow database connection checks based on GRANT rules in
< addition to the existing access checks in pg_hba.conf.
<
< o -Issue a warning if a change-on-restart-only postgresql.conf value
> o Issue a warning if a change-on-restart-only postgresql.conf value
< o -Automatically force archiving of partially-filled WAL files when
< pg_stop_backup() is called or the server is stopped
< o -Add reporting of the current WAL file and offset, perhaps as
< part of partial log file archiving
< * -Allow server logs to be remotely read and removed using SQL commands
< * -Allow protocol-level BIND parameter values to be logged
< * -Zero umasked bits in conversion from INET cast to CIDR
< * -Prevent INET cast to CIDR from dropping netmask, SELECT '1.1.1.1'::inet::cidr
< * -Allow INET + INT8 to increment the host part of the address or
< throw an error on overflow
< * -Add 'tid != tid ' operator for use in corruption recovery
< o -Allow customization of the known set of TZ names (generalize the
< present australian_timezones hack)
< o -Allow timezone names in SQL strings, '2006-05-24 21:11
< Americas/New_York'::timestamptz
< o -Add support for day-time syntax, INTERVAL '1 2:03:04' DAY TO
< SECOND
< o -Allow NULLs in arrays
< * -Add transaction_timestamp(), statement_timestamp(), clock_timestamp()
< functionality
<
< Current CURRENT_TIMESTAMP returns the start time of the current
< transaction, and gettimeofday() returns the wallclock time. This will
< make time reporting more consistent and will allow reporting of
< the statement start time.
<
< * -Allow to_char() to print localized month names
< * -Add sleep() function, remove from regress.c
< * -Allow user-defined functions retuning a domain value to enforce domain
< constraints
< * -Allow TRUNCATE ... CASCADE/RESTRICT
<
< This is like DELETE CASCADE, but truncates.
<
< * -Add COMMENT ON for all cluster global objects (roles, databases
< and tablespaces)
< * -Make row-wise comparisons work per SQL spec
<
< Right now, '(a, b) < (1, 2)' is processed as 'a < 1 and b < 2', but
< the SQL standard requires it to be processed as a column-by-column
< comparison, so the proper comparison is '(a < 1) OR (a = 1 AND b < 2)'.
<
< * -Enable escape_string_warning and standard_conforming_strings
> * Enable standard_conforming_strings
< o -Add ON COMMIT capability to CREATE TABLE AS ... SELECT
< o -Allow an alias to be provided for the target table in
< UPDATE/DELETE (Neil)
< o -Allow UPDATE tab SET ROW (col, ...) = (val, ...) for updating
< multiple columns
< o -Add ALTER TABLE tab INHERIT / NO INHERIT parent
< o -Have COPY return the number of rows loaded/unloaded?
< o -Allow COPY (SELECT ...) TO 'filename'
<
< o -Allow pooled connections to list all open WITH HOLD cursors
<
< Because WITH HOLD cursors exist outside transactions, this allows
< them to be listed so they can be closed.
<
< o -Allow INSERT INTO tab (col1, ..) VALUES (val1, ..), (val2, ..)
< o -Allow INSERT/UPDATE ... RETURNING new.col or old.col
< o -Allow PL/python to return composite types and result sets
<
< * -Have initdb set the input DateStyle (MDY or DMY) based on locale
< o -Improve psql's handling of multi-line statements
<
< Currently, while \e saves a single statement as one entry, interactive
< statements are saved one line at a time. Ideally all statements
< would be saved like \e does.
<
< o -Allow multi-line column values to align in the proper columns
<
< If the second output column value is 'a\nb', the 'b' should appear
< in the second display column, rather than the first column as it
< does now.
<
< o -Display IN, INOUT, and OUT parameters in \df
< o -Allow pg_dump to use multiple -t and -n switches, exclusion
< ability, and regular expression object matching
< o -Update pg_dump and psql to use the new COPY libpq API (Christopher)
< o -Add a function to support Parse/DescribeStatement capability
< * -Add fillfactor to control reserved free space during index creation
< * -Add system view to show free space map contents
< * -Allow installing to directories containing spaces
<
< This is possible if proper quoting is added to the makefiles for the
< install targets. Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
< is already possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain
< spaces and then copy the install to a directory with spaces.
<
< * -%Clean up compiler warnings (especially with gcc version 4)
< * -Remove BeOS and QNX-specific code
< o -Port contrib/xml2
