selectivity functions and make the r-tree operators use them. The
estimation functions themselves are just stubs, unfortunately, but
perhaps someday someone will make them compute realistic estimates.
Change pg_am so that the optimizer can reliably tell the difference
between ordered and unordered indexes --- before it would think that
an r-tree index can be scanned in '<<' order, which is not right AFAIK.
Repair broken negator links for network_sup and related ops.
Initdb forced. This might be my last initdb force for 7.0 ... hope so
anyway ...
pghackers discussion of 5-Jan-2000. The amopselect and amopnpages
estimators are gone, and in their place is a per-AM amcostestimate
procedure (linked to from pg_am, not pg_amop).
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;
