The old behavior of <command>REINDEX</> database reindexed only
Formerly, <command>REINDEX DATABASE</> reindexed only
system tables. This new behavior seems more intuitive. A new
command <command>REINDEX SYSTEM</> allows for reindexing just the
system tables.
command <command>REINDEX SYSTEM</> provides the old functionality
of reindexing just the system tables.

<command>CREATE LANGUAGE</> may ignore the provided arguments
in favor of information from <structname>pg_pltemplate</>
(Tom)
</para>
<para>
A new system catalog <structname>pg_pltemplate</> has been defined
to carry information about the preferred definitions of procedural
languages (such as whether they have validator functions). When
an entry exists in this catalog for the language being created,
<command>CREATE LANGUAGE</> will ignore all its parameters except the
language name and instead use the catalog information. This measure
was taken because of increasing problems with obsolete language
definitions being loaded by old dump files. As of 8.1,
<application>pg_dump</> will dump procedural language definitions as
just <command>CREATE LANGUAGE <replaceable>name</></command>, relying
on a template entry to exist at load time. We expect this will be a
more future-proof representation.

Rely on <structname>pg_pltemplate</> for procedural languages (Tom)

<para>
If the call handler for a procedural language is in the
<literal>pg_catalog</> schema, <application>pg_dump</> does not
dump the handler. Instead, it dumps the language using just
<command>CREATE LANGUAGE <replaceable>name</></command>,
relying on the <structname>pg_pltemplate</> catalog to provide
the language's creation parameters at load time.
