Tom Lane 5703a69003 We haven't had a fixed limit on rule recursion depth since 7.3 ...
but the documentation still said so.

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.

Bruce Momjian 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
>   to obtain tuple visibility information.
>
> * 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.
