Tom Lane b7d6795445 Disallow comments on columns of relation types other than tables, views,
and composite types, which are the only relkinds for which pg_dump support
exists for dumping column comments.  There is no obvious usefulness for
comments on columns of sequences or toast tables; and while comments on
index columns might have some value, it's not worth the risk of compatibility
problems due to possible changes in the algorithm for assigning names to
index columns.  Per discussion.

In consequence, remove now-dead code for copying such comments in CREATE TABLE
LIKE.

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/.
