Tom Lane 12d8fae4cd Simplify the bootstrap (BKI) code by getting rid of a useless table of all
the strings seen during the bootstrap run.  There might have been some
actual point to doing that, many years ago, but as far as I can see the only
value now is to conserve a bit of memory.  Even if we cared about wasting
a megabyte or so during the initdb run, it'd be far more effective to
arrange to release memory at the end of each BKI command, instead of
intentionally hanging onto strings that might never be used again.
Not maintaining the table probably makes it faster too; but the main point
of this patch is to get rid of a couple hundred lines of unnecessary and
rather crufty code.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	http://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
http://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
