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.

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.

b60a8512a0 Update count(*) discussion ideas: 
<   BY col {DESC} LIMIT 1. Completing this item involves making this
>   BY col {DESC} LIMIT 1. Completing this item involves doing this
<   invalidated if anyone modifies the table.
<
>   invalidated if anyone modifies the table.  Another idea is to
>   get a count directly from a unique index, but for this to be
>   faster than a sequential scan it must avoid access to the heap

>
> * Allow data to be pulled directly from indexes
>
>   Currently indexes do not have enough tuple tuple visibility
>   information to allow data to be pulled from the index without
>   also accessing the heap.  One way to allow this is to set a bit
>   to index tuples to indicate if a tuple is currently visible to
>   all transactions when the first valid heap lookup happens.  This
>   bit would have to be cleared when a heap tuple is expired.

33a6dcfcce Update wording: 
< * Allow building with directories containing spaces
> * Allow building in directories containing spaces
<   There are two capabilities here, first the ability to build from a

<   into a directory that contains spaces.  The first is probably not
<   possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools do not fully support

<   the makefiles.  Because PostgreSQL supports relocatable installs, it
<   is possible to install into a directory that doesn't contain spaces and

>   This is probably not possible because 'gmake' and other compiler tools
>   do not fully support quoting of paths with spaces.

> * Allow installing to directories containing spaces
