Remove the 'strategy map' code, which was a large amount of mechanism
that no longer had any use except reverse-mapping from procedure OID to
strategy number. Passing the strategy number to the index AM in the
first place is simpler and faster.
This is a preliminary step in planned support for cross-datatype index
operations. I'm committing it now since the ScanKeyEntryInitialize()
API change touches quite a lot of files, and I want to commit those
changes before the tree drifts under me.
where it's safe to do database access. Along the way, fix core dump
for 'DEFAULT' parameters to CREATE DATABASE. initdb forced due to
change in pg_proc entry.
hardwired lists of index names for each catalog, use the relcache's
mechanism for caching lists of OIDs of indexes of any table. This
reduces the common case of updating system catalog indexes to a single
line, makes it much easier to add a new system index (in fact, you
can now do so on-the-fly if you want to), and as a nice side benefit
improves performance a little. Per recent pghackers discussion.
This is the first cut toward CREATE CONVERSION/DROP CONVERSION implementaion.
The commands can now add/remove tuples to the new pg_conversion system
catalog, but that's all. Still need work to make them actually working.
Documentations, regression tests also need work.
