table product while playying with sql.
backend_pid()
return the pid of our corresponding backend.
unlisten(relname)

is null, empty or '*'.
It is now obsoleted by the new unlisten command but still useful
if you want unlisten a name computed by the query.
Note that a listen/notify relname can be any ascii string, not
just valid relation names.
min(x,y)
max(x,y)
return the min or max bteween two integers.
assert_enable(bool)
enable/disable assert checkings in the backend, if it has been
compiled with USE_ASSERT_CHECKING.
assert_test(bool)
test the assert enable/disable code, if the backend has been
compiled with ASSERT_CHECKING_TEST.
