7861d72ea2 Modify the float4 datatype to be pass-by-val. Along the way, remove the last
uses of the long-deprecated float32 in contrib/seg; the definitions themselves
are still there, but no longer used.  fmgr/README updated to match.

I added a CREATE FUNCTION to account for existing seg_center() code in seg.c
too, and some tests for it and the neighbor functions.  At the same time,
remove checks for NULL which are not needed (because the functions are declared
STRICT).

I had to do some adjustments to contrib's btree_gist too.  The choices for
representation there are not ideal for changing the underlying types :-(

Original patch by Zoltan Boszormenyi, with some adjustments by me.

9b5c8d45f6 Push index operator lossiness determination down to GIST/GIN opclass
"consistent" functions, and remove pg_amop.opreqcheck, as per recent
discussion.  The main immediate benefit of this is that we no longer need
8.3's ugly hack of requiring @@@ rather than @@ to test weight-using tsquery
searches on GIN indexes.  In future it should be possible to optimize some
other queries better than is done now, by detecting at runtime whether the
index match is exact or not.

Tom Lane, after an idea of Heikki's, and with some help from Teodor.

926bbab448 Make /contrib install/uninstall script consistent:
remove transactions
	use create or replace function
	make formatting consistent
	set search patch on first line

Add documentation on modifying *.sql to set the search patch, and
mention that major upgrades should still run the installation scripts.

Some of these issues were spotted by Tom today.

f8203f908e Support functions for index opclasses should be immutable.
Found by running opr_sanity on contrib modules.

7f4f42fa10 Clean up CREATE FUNCTION syntax usage in contrib and elsewhere, in
particular get rid of single quotes around language names and old WITH ()
construct.

54c80a3434 Adjust contrib/seg &< and &> operators so that r-tree indexing logic
works properly for 1-D comparisons.  Fix some other errors such as
bogus commutator specifications.

f2c064afcb Cleanup vectors of GISTENTRY and eliminate problem with 64-bit strict-aligned
boxes. Change interface to user-defined GiST support methods union and
picksplit. Now instead of bytea struct it used special GistEntryVector
structure.

043be9ad96 Make contrib/seg work with flex 2.5.31. Fix it up to have a real
btree operator class, too, since in PG 7.4 you can't GROUP without one.

f85f43dfb5 Backend support for autocommit removed, per recent discussions. The
only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON.  Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.

Remove transaction block use for object creation.

Remove unneeded function GRANTs.

b663f3443b Add a bunch of pseudo-types to replace the behavior formerly associated
with OPAQUE, as per recent pghackers discussion.  I still want to do some
more work on the 'cstring' pseudo-type, but I'm going to commit the bulk
of the changes now before the tree starts shifting under me ...

65b6868b13 Replace ad-hoc insertions into pg_opclass and friends with CREATE
OPERATOR CLASS commands.  Further tweaking of documentation for same.

27a54ae282 Opclasses live in namespaces. I also took the opportunity to create
an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass.  Nothing is done with it at
present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which
suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.

f933766ba7 Restructure pg_opclass, pg_amop, and pg_amproc per previous discussions in
pgsql-hackers.  pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name.  This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.

Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries.  I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.

Initial work by Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, further hacking by Tom Lane.

initdb forced.

13923be7c8 1. null-safe interface to GiST
(as proposed in http://fts.postgresql.org/db/mw/msg.html?mid=1028327)

2. support for 'pass-by-value' arguments - to test this
   we used special opclass for int4 with values in range [0-2^15]
   More testing will be done after resolving problem with
   index_formtuple and implementation of B-tree using GiST

3. small patch to contrib modules (seg,cube,rtree_gist,intarray) -
   mark functions as 'isstrict' where needed.
