dependency was looking at wrong columns and so would always fail.
Was not exposed by regression tests because we are only testing cases
involving built-in (pinned) types and so no actual dependency entry
exists to be removed.
Instead of putting all the OWNER TO commands at the end, it dumps then
after each object. This is WAY more readable and nice. ACLs are still
at the end.

and history files as per recent discussion. While at it, remove
pg_terminate_backend, since we have decided we do not have time during
this release cycle to address the reliability concerns it creates.
Split the 'Miscellaneous Functions' documentation section into
'System Information Functions' and 'System Administration Functions',
which hopefully will draw the eyes of those looking for such things.
mode (per complaint from Kris Jurka) and it was only by chance that it
didn't fail in simple-query mode. A COMMIT or ROLLBACK has to be
executed by a portal, therefore it's wrong to suppose that there aren't
any live portals at CleanupTransaction time.
error code for string-too-long errors. It should be STRING_DATA_RIGHT_TRUNCATION
not STRING_DATA_LENGTH_MISMATCH. The latter probably should only be
applied to cases where a string must be exactly so many bits --- there are
no cases at all where it applies to character strings, only bit strings.
executed. Previously, the DECLARE would succeed but subsequent FETCHes
would fail since the parameter values supplied to DECLARE were not
propagated to the portal created for the cursor.
In support of this, add type Oids to ParamListInfo entries, which seems
like a good idea anyway since code that extracts a value can double-check
that it got the type of value it was expecting.

it's sure a lot more likely to be what the user wants than doing nothing.

number of active subtransaction XIDs in each backend's PGPROC entry,
and use this to avoid expensive probes into pg_subtrans during
TransactionIdIsInProgress. Extend EOXactCallback API to allow add-on
modules to get control at subxact start/end. (This is deliberately
not compatible with the former API, since any uses of that API probably
need manual review anyway.) Add basic reference documentation for
SAVEPOINT and related commands. Minor other cleanups to check off some
of the open issues for subtransactions.

more nearly Oracle-equivalent. Allow matching by category as well as
specific error code. Document the set of available condition names
(or more accurately, synchronize it with the existing documentation). In
passing, update errcodes.sgml to include codes added during 7.5 development.
Create a shared function to convert a SPI error code into a string
(replacing near-duplicate code in several PLs), and use it anywhere
that a SPI function call error is reported.
machines, break tie scores by preferring shorter zone names over longer;
for names of equal length, prefer the alphabetically first name. This
yields for example 'EST5EDT' not 'America/New_York' for US eastern time.
On Windows, abandon the whole concept of inspecting the detailed behavior
of the system TZ library, because it doesn't bear inspection :-(. Instead
use a hardwired mapping table to select our zone name based on the
result of strftime %Z output. Windows code from Magnus Hagander.
There are still some things that need refinement; in particular I fear
that the recognized set of error condition names probably has little in
common with what Oracle recognizes. But it's a start.

OK, having no M$ diff, I attach files src\interfaces\libpq\bcc32.mak and

possible to trap an error inside a function rather than letting it
propagate out to PostgresMain. You still have to use AbortCurrentTransaction
to clean up, but at least the error handling itself will cooperate.
