Hi,
Here is a patch that implements "named restore points".
It allows DBAs to specify an exact point to which they can recover
but that point will have a name, so they have a better control of when
they want to stop recovery (ie: DBA's won't depend of remember
specific times, dates and such).
This adds a new function: pg_create_restore_point(text) (i'm not
wedded with the name so if someone wants to suggest something better,
that's fine with me), a new xlog record and a new recovery_target
parameter in recovery.conf
