Some more:
| VACUUM now has a PROCESS_TOAST which can be set to false to disable TOAST processing, and vacuumdb has a --no-process-toast option.
has a process_toast *option
| Previously, if the object already exists, EXPLAIN would fail.
already existed
| Function pg_stat_reset_replication_slot() resets slot statistics.
*The function. But maybe it should be omitted.
| New options are read-only, primary, standby, and prefer-standby.
*The new options
| Allow reindexdb to change the tablespace of the new index (Michael Paquier)
| This is done by specifying --tablespace.
I think this should be merged with the corresponding server feature, like this one:
|Add ability to skip vacuuming of TOAST tables (Nathan Bossart)
|VACUUM now has a PROCESS_TOAST which can be set to false to disable TOAST processing, and vacuumdb has a --no-process-toast option.
Or, the client-side option could be omitted. This is distinguished from
vacuumdb --no-index-cleanup and --no-truncate, for which the server support was
added in v12, and the client support was essentially an omision.
| Add documentation for the factorial() function (Peter Eisentraut)
| With the removal of the ! operator in this release, factorial() is the only built-in way to compute a factorial.
Could be ommited or collapsed into the other item. I know Tom thinks that
it's unnecesary to document changes to documentation.
