* -Allow psql \du to show users, and add \dg for groups

* Add a libpq function to support Parse/DescribeStatement capability

* Prevent libpq's PQfnumber() from lowercasing the column name (?)

* -Allow pg_dump to dump CREATE CONVERSION (Christopher)

* -Make pg_restore continue after errors, so it acts more like pg_dump scripts

* Have psql show current values for a sequence

* Allow pg_dumpall to use non-text output formats

* Have pg_dump use multi-statement transactions for INSERT dumps

* Move psql backslash database information into the backend, use mnemonic

commands? [psql]

This would allow non-psql clients to pull the same information out of

the database as psql.

* Allow pg_dump to use multiple -t and -n switches

This should be done by allowing a '-t schema.table' syntax.

* Fix oid2name and dbsize for tablespaces

* Consistently display privilege information for all objects in psql

* pg_dump

o Allow pg_dumpall to use non-text output formats

o Have pg_dump use multi-statement transactions for INSERT dumps

o -Allow pg_dump to dump CREATE CONVERSION (Christopher)

o -Make pg_restore continue after errors, so it acts more like pg_dump

scripts

o Allow pg_dump to use multiple -t and -n switches

This should be done by allowing a '-t schema.table' syntax.

o Add dumping of comments on composite type columns

o Add dumping of comments on index columns

o Replace crude DELETE FROM method of pg_dumpall for cleaning of

users and groups with separate DROP commands

o Add dumping and restoring of LOB comments

o Stop dumping CASCADE on DROP TYPE commands in clean mode

o Add full object name to the tag field. eg. for operators we need

'=(integer, integer)', instead of just '='.

o Add pg_dumpall custom format dumps. This is probably best done by

combining pg_dump and pg_dumpall into a single binary

o Add CSV output format

* ECPG (?)
