+      Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions

+      The functions
+      <function>query_to_xml</function>,
+      <function>cursor_to_xml</function>,
+      <function>cursor_to_xmlschema</function>,
+      <function>query_to_xmlschema</function>, and
+      <function>query_to_xml_and_xmlschema</function>
+      should be marked volatile because they execute user-supplied queries
+      that might contain volatile operations.  They were not, leading to a
+      risk of incorrect query optimization.  This has been repaired for new
+      installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
+      installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
+      Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in
+      case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
+      functions' <structname>pg_proc</structname> entries.  (Note that that
+      will need to be done in each database of the installation.)  Another
+      option is to <application>pg_upgrade</application> the database to a
+      version containing the corrected initial data.

+
+     <para>
+      Once the OID counter has wrapped around, it's possible to assign a
+      TOAST value whose OID matches a previously deleted entry in the same
+      TOAST table.  If that entry were not yet vacuumed away, this resulted
+      in <quote>unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast
+      value <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote> errors, which would
+      persist until the dead entry was removed
+      by <command>VACUUM</command>.  Fix by not selecting such OIDs when

+      Change <command>ANALYZE</command>'s algorithm for updating

+      (David Gould)
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
+      were assumed to retain their old tuple density.  In a large table
+      where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
+      pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
+      change very much, so that <structfield>reltuples</structfield> would
+      change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
+      (<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
+      happening in the table.  This has been observed to result
+      in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
+      reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming.  To fix, assume
+      that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
+      sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
+      density observed within those pages to the whole table.

+      Fix incorrect volatility markings on a few built-in functions
+      (Thomas Munro, Tom Lane)
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      The functions
+      <function>query_to_xml</function>,
+      <function>cursor_to_xml</function>,
+      <function>cursor_to_xmlschema</function>,
+      <function>query_to_xmlschema</function>, and
+      <function>query_to_xml_and_xmlschema</function>
+      should be marked volatile because they execute user-supplied queries
+      that might contain volatile operations.  They were not, leading to a
+      risk of incorrect query optimization.  This has been repaired for new
+      installations by correcting the initial catalog data, but existing
+      installations will continue to contain the incorrect markings.
+      Practical use of these functions seems to pose little hazard, but in
+      case of trouble, it can be fixed by manually updating these
+      functions' <structname>pg_proc</structname> entries.  (Note that that
+      will need to be done in each database of the installation.)  Another
+      option is to <application>pg_upgrade</application> the database to a
+      version containing the corrected initial data.

+
+     <para>
+      Once the OID counter has wrapped around, it's possible to assign a
+      TOAST value whose OID matches a previously deleted entry in the same
+      TOAST table.  If that entry were not yet vacuumed away, this resulted
+      in <quote>unexpected chunk number 0 (expected 1) for toast
+      value <replaceable>nnnnn</replaceable></quote> errors, which would
+      persist until the dead entry was removed
+      by <command>VACUUM</command>.  Fix by not selecting such OIDs when

+      (David Gould)
+     </para>
+
+     <para>
+      Previously, pages not actually scanned by <command>ANALYZE</command>
+      were assumed to retain their old tuple density.  In a large table
+      where <command>ANALYZE</command> samples only a small fraction of the
+      pages, this meant that the overall tuple density estimate could not
+      change very much, so that <structfield>reltuples</structfield> would
+      change nearly proportionally to changes in the table's physical size
+      (<structfield>relpages</structfield>) regardless of what was actually
+      happening in the table.  This has been observed to result
+      in <structfield>reltuples</structfield> becoming so much larger than
+      reality as to effectively shut off autovacuuming.  To fix, assume
+      that <command>ANALYZE</command>'s sample is a statistically unbiased
+      sample of the table (as it should be), and just extrapolate the
+      density observed within those pages to the whole table.
