> What will be in release 8.1?

Three things I am working on and hope to get in 8.1:

* Synchronizing all the psql \d commands so that \dt
shows your tables, \df shows your functions, etc. The
majority of this is done, but the tab-completion part
has slowed me down a bit. Still, it should be in 8.1

* Support for "error catching" in psql via savepoints. This
one is pretty tricky, as we'll need to build our own mini-SQL
parser to catch savepoint creation/destruction, or wait for
someone to implement a hook in libpq to get at the current stack
of savepoints. If I get everything else on my list done, I'll
attack the hook, but would prefer if someone else would do it, as
that's still a bit over my head. The rest of it is pretty much written
though.

* Allowing triggers to be column-based. Someone at one point claimed
they were working on this, but we never heard back from them, so I
am assuming it is still an open item. I have not started on this, I want
to wait to see if anyone else is working on it and/or has existing work
I can build off of.
