Make all system indexes unique.
Make all cache loads use system indexes.
Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables.
Rename cache names to be clearer.
expressions in CREATE TABLE. There is no longer an emasculated expression
syntax for these things; it's full a_expr for constraints, and b_expr
for defaults (unfortunately the fact that NOT NULL is a part of the
column constraint syntax causes a shift/reduce conflict if you try a_expr.
Oh well --- at least parenthesized boolean expressions work now). Also,
stored expression for a column default is not pre-coerced to the column
type; we rely on transformInsertStatement to do that when the default is
actually used. This means "f1 datetime default 'now'" behaves the way
people usually expect it to.
BTW, all the support code is now there to implement ALTER TABLE ADD
CONSTRAINT and ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN with a default value. I didn't
actually teach ALTER TABLE to call it, but it wouldn't be much work.
additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or
'NoLock' to do no lock processing). Ensure that all relations are locked
with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures
that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent
problems caused by concurrent VACUUM. Fix several bugs having to do with
mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched
heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing). A bogus ref count on
a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to
arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this
sloppiness for so long. Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in
DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi.
Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the
Relation struct layout slightly.
Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.
no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
1. Removes the unnecessary "#define AbcRegProcedure 123"'s from
pg_proc.h.
2. Changes those #defines to use the names already defined in
fmgr.h.
3. Forces the make of fmgr.h in backend/Makefile instead of having
it
made as a dependency in access/common/Makefile *hack*hack*hack*
4. Rearranged the #includes to a less helter-skelter arrangement,
also
changing <file.h> to "file.h" to signify a non-system header.
5. Removed "pg_proc.h" from files where its only purpose was for
the
#defines removed in item #1.
6. Added "fmgr.h" to each file changed for completeness sake.
Turns out that #6 was not necessary for some files because fmgr.h
was being included in a roundabout way SIX levels deep by the first
include.
"access/genam.h"
->"access/relscan.h"
->"utils/rel.h"
->"access/strat.h"
->"access/skey.h"
->"fmgr.h"
So adding fmgr.h really didn't add anything to the compile, hopefully
just made it clearer to the programmer.

varchar length.
Cleans up code so attlen is always length.
Removed varchar() hack added earlier.
Will fix bug in selecting varchar() fields, and varchar() can be
variable length.
