Hi,

I was looking at the TODO:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/faqs.TODO.html

"A hyphen, "-", marks changes that will appear in the upcoming 8.4 release."

Well, making a search for the "-" sign is complicated... it's obviously
used for a lot of other things... could you use another character?

-Allow administrators to safely terminate individual sessions either

via an SQL function or SIGTERM <<

Can't you already do this with pg_cancel_backend() or kill <child pid>?
Or is this for something else altogether?

Cancel backend only cancels the current query but later queries are
still executed. Kill was never officially supported as a way to
terminate a backend, but it will be in 8.4 and there is an SQL function
to do it too.

I think a search for ' -' will show you the items you want.

Might it be worth documenting that at the top of the page? I know I've
struggled to look down the list before myself.

You are the first person to ever ask, and searching for ' -' is pretty
basic. If it is a problem, I think some other symbol should be used.

using opera it doesn't work... and with Firefox you still get a lot of not-wanted matches...
Of course, this is not a "problem", I was just thinking that another char would be better.
