The initial version of the update-from-unpackaged script neglected to
include the <> operators that were added to the opclasses during 9.1.
To make this script produce the same final state as the regular install
script, use the same ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY trick as in pg_trgm.
It was never terribly consistent to use OR REPLACE (because of the lack of
comparable functionality for data types, operators, etc), and
experimentation shows that it's now positively pernicious in the extension
world. We really want a failure to occur if there are any conflicts, else
it's unclear what the extension-ownership state of the conflicted object
ought to be. Most of the time, CREATE EXTENSION will fail anyway because
of conflicts on other object types, but an extension defining only
functions can succeed, with bad results.
This isn't fully tested as yet, in particular I'm not sure that the
"foo--unpackaged--1.0.sql" scripts are OK. But it's time to get some
buildfarm cycles on it.
sepgsql is not converted to an extension, mainly because it seems to
require a very nonstandard installation process.

This adds collation support for columns and domains, a COLLATE clause
to override it per expression, and B-tree index support.

corresponding struct definitions. This allows other headers to avoid including
certain highly-loaded headers such as rel.h and relscan.h, instead using just
relcache.h, heapam.h or genam.h, which are more lightweight and thus cause less
unnecessary dependencies.
where Datum is 8 bytes wide. Since this will break old-style C functions
(those still using version 0 calling convention) that have arguments or
results of these types, provide a configure option to disable it and retain
the old pass-by-reference behavior. Likewise, provide a configure option
to disable the recently-committed float4 pass-by-value change.

uses of the long-deprecated float32 in contrib/seg; the definitions themselves
are still there, but no longer used. fmgr/README updated to match.
I added a CREATE FUNCTION to account for existing seg_center() code in seg.c
too, and some tests for it and the neighbor functions. At the same time,
remove checks for NULL which are not needed (because the functions are declared
STRICT).
I had to do some adjustments to contrib's btree_gist too. The choices for
representation there are not ideal for changing the underlying types :-(
Original patch by Zoltan Boszormenyi, with some adjustments by me.
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion. The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes. In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.

about best practice for including the module creation scripts: to wit
that you should suppress NOTICE messages. This avoids creating
regression failures by adding or removing comment lines in the module
scripts.
remove transactions
use create or replace function
make formatting consistent
set search patch on first line
Add documentation on modifying *.sql to set the search patch, and
mention that major upgrades should still run the installation scripts.
Some of these issues were spotted by Tom today.

Per gripe from Eddie Stanley and subsequent discussions with Fabien Coelho
and others.
Get rid of VARATT_SIZE and VARATT_DATA, which were simply redundant with
VARSIZE and VARDATA, and as a consequence almost no code was using the
longer names. Rename the length fields of struct varlena and various
derived structures to catch anyplace that was accessing them directly;
and clean up various places so caught. In itself this patch doesn't
change any behavior at all, but it is necessary infrastructure if we hope
to play any games with the representation of varlena headers.

static variables. This avoids any risk of potential non-reentrancy,
and in particular offers a much cleaner workaround for the Intel compiler
bug that was affecting ginutil.c.
* new split algorithm (as proposed in http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-06/msg00254.php)
* possible call pickSplit() for second and below columns
* add spl_(l|r)datum_exists to GIST_SPLITVEC -
pickSplit should check its values to use already defined
spl_(l|r)datum for splitting. pickSplit should set
spl_(l|r)datum_exists to 'false' (if they was 'true') to
signal to caller about using spl_(l|r)datum.
* support for old pickSplit(): not very optimal
but correct split
* remove 'bytes' field from GISTENTRY: in any case size of
value is defined by it's type.
* split GIST_SPLITVEC to two structures: one for using in picksplit
and second - for internal use.
* some code refactoring
* support of subsplit to rtree opclasses
TODO: add support of subsplit to contrib modules
Most of the changes add the mandatory USING clause to DROP OPERATOR
CLASS statements. DROP TYPE is now DROP TYPE CASCADE; without
CASCADE a DROP TYPE fails due to the circular dependency on the
type's I/O functions. The DROP FUNCTION statements for the I/O
functions have been removed, as DROP TYPE CASCADE removes them
automatically. Patch from Michael Fuhr.
like '23:59:60' because of fractional-second roundoff problems. Trying
to control this upstream of the actual display code was hopeless; the right
way is to explicitly round fractional seconds in the display code and then
refigure the results if the fraction rounds up to 1. Per bug #1927.
