Tom Lane f07b9689c9 Generalize TRUNCATE to support truncating multiple tables in one
command.  This is useful because we can allow truncation of tables
referenced by foreign keys, so long as the referencing table is
truncated in the same command.

Tom Lane aba691b728 Close all cursors created during a failed subtransaction. This is needed
to avoid problems when a cursor depends on objects created or changed in
the same subtransaction.  We'd like to do better someday, but this seems
the only workable answer for 8.0.1.

Tom Lane ffce35fe6f Add a tip showing how functions on composite types can be used to
emulate computed fields.  I suppose this is why the Berkeley boys made
it work that way in the first place, but the docs never said so anyplace.
