   			      findoidjoins

This program scans a database, and prints oid fields and the tables
they join to.  CAUTION: it is ver-r-r-y slow on a large database, or
even a not-so-large one.  We don't really recommend running it on
anything but an empty database.

It requires pgsql/contrib/pginterface to be compiled first.

Run on an empty database, it returns the system join relationships
(shown below for 6.5).  Note that unexpected matches may indicate
bogus entries in system tables --- don't accept a peculiar match
without question.  In particular, a field shown as joining to more
than one target table is probably messed up.

The shell script make_oidjoins_check converts findoidjoins' output
into an SQL script that checks for dangling links (entries in an
OID column that don't match any row in the expected table).
The result of this script should be installed as the "oidjoins"
regression test.  The oidjoins test should be updated after any
revision in the patterns of cross-links between system tables.
(Ideally we'd just regenerate the script as part of the regression
tests themselves, but that seems too slow...)
