- domain.patch -> source patch against pgsql in cvs
- drop_domain.sgml and create_domain.sgml -> New doc/src/sgml/ref docs

- dominfo.txt -> basic domain related queries I used for testing
[ ADDED TO /doc]

Enables domains of array elements -> CREATE DOMAIN dom int4[3][2];

Uses a typbasetype column to describe the origin of the domain.

Copies data to attnotnull rather than processing in execMain().

Some documentation differences from earlier.

If this is approved, I'll start working on pg_dump, and a \dD <domain>
option in psql, and regression tests.  I don't really feel like doing
those until the system table structure settles for pg_type.


CHECKS when added, will also be copied to to the table attributes.  FK
Constraints (if I ever figure out how) will be done similarly.  Both
will lbe handled by MergeDomainAttributes() which is called shortly
before MergeAttributes().

documentation to come, but the code is all here.  initdb forced.

buffer manager with 'pg_clog', a specialized access method modeled
on pg_xlog.  This simplifies startup (don't need to play games to
open pg_log; among other things, OverrideTransactionSystem goes away),
should improve performance a little, and opens the door to recycling
commit log space by removing no-longer-needed segments of the commit
log.  Actual recycling is not there yet, but I felt I should commit
this part separately since it'd still be useful if we chose not to
do transaction ID wraparound.

default, but OIDS are removed from many system catalogs that don't need them.
Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now;
pg_description has a three-column key instead of one.

Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey
has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and
triggers in a valid order.

initdb forced.

pg_database now has unique indexes on oid and on datname.
pg_shadow now has unique indexes on usename and on usesysid.
pg_am now has unique index on oid.
pg_opclass now has unique index on oid.
pg_amproc now has unique index on amid+amopclaid+amprocnum.
Remove pg_rewrite's unnecessary index on oid, delete unused RULEOID syscache.
Remove index on pg_listener and associated syscache for performance reasons
(caching rows that are certain to change before you need 'em again is
rather pointless).
Change pg_attrdef's nonunique index on adrelid into a unique index on
adrelid+adnum.

Fix various incorrect settings of pg_class.relisshared, make that the
primary reference point for whether a relation is shared or not.
IsSharedSystemRelationName() is now only consulted to initialize relisshared
during initial creation of tables and indexes.  In theory we might now
support shared user relations, though it's not clear how one would get
entries for them into pg_class &etc of multiple databases.

Fix recently reported bug that pg_attribute rows created for an index all have
the same OID.  (Proof that non-unique OID doesn't matter unless it's
actually used to do lookups ;-))

There's no need to treat pg_trigger, pg_attrdef, pg_relcheck as bootstrap
relations.  Convert them into plain system catalogs without hardwired
entries in pg_class and friends.

Unify global.bki and template1.bki into a single init script postgres.bki,
since the alleged distinction between them was misleading and pointless.
Not to mention that it didn't work for setting up indexes on shared
system relations.

Rationalize locking of pg_shadow, pg_group, pg_attrdef (no need to use
AccessExclusiveLock where ExclusiveLock or even RowExclusiveLock will do).
Also, hold locks until transaction commit where necessary.

a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too).
pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are
stored.  ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values,
not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values).  Random
sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large
tables.  The number of values and histogram bins collected is now
user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command.

There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere
they could be in the planner.  But the remaining changes for this project
should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before.

A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison
routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.

GetRawDatabaseInfo() won't cope with a compressed path spec (much less
a moved-off one).  I'm not going to force an initdb for this change,
because it's noncritical --- we're not actually using datpath at all
right now.  But it seems a good idea to apply the fix while I'm thinking
about it.

cloned, rather than always cloning template1.  Modify initdb to generate
two identical databases rather than one, template0 and template1.
Connections to template0 are disallowed, so that it will always remain
in its virgin as-initdb'd state.  pg_dumpall now dumps databases with
restore commands that say CREATE DATABASE foo WITH TEMPLATE = template0.
This allows proper behavior when there is user-added data in template1.
initdb forced!

This field stores the last allocated OID after the database was created.
Used by pg_dump in deciding what is user-defined vs. system-defined.

relation OID is used as file node on creation but may be changed later
if required. Regression Tests Approved (c) -:)))

Fix misspelling of disbursion to dispersion.

that giving pg_proc a toast table required solving the same problems
we'd have to solve for pg_class --- pg_proc is one of the relations
that gets bootstrapped in relcache.c.  Solution is to go back at the
end of initialization and read in the *real* pg_class row to replace
the phony entry created by formrdesc().  This should work as long as
there's no need to touch any toasted values during initialization,
which seems a reasonable assumption.
Although I did not add a toast-table for every single system table
with a varlena attribute, I believe that it would work to just do
ALTER TABLE pg_class CREATE TOAST TABLE.  So anyone who's really
intent on having several thousand ACL entries for a rel could do it.
NOTE: I didn't force initdb, but you must do one to see the effects
of this patch.

compressible but not externally storable (since we're not sure about
whether creating a toast relation for pg_class would work).

    WARNING: This is actually broken - we have self-deadlocks
	         due to concurrent changes in buffer management.
			 Vadim and me are working on it.

more restriction for fretful users. The current PG allow define only
NO-CREATE-DB and NO-CREATE-USER restriction, but for some users I need
NO-CREATE-TABLE and NO-LOCK-TABLE.

This patch add to current code NOCREATETABLE and NOLOCKTABLE feature:

CREATE USER username
    [ WITH
     [ SYSID uid ]
     [ PASSWORD 'password' ] ]
    [ CREATEDB   | NOCREATEDB ] [ CREATEUSER | NOCREATEUSER ]
->  [ CREATETABLE | NOCREATETABLE ] [ LOCKTABLE | NOLOCKTABLE ]
    ...etc.

 If CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE is not specific in CREATE USER command,
as default is set CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE (true).

 A user with NOCREATETABLE restriction can't call CREATE TABLE or
SELECT INTO commands, only create temp table is allow for him.

key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle.
An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL
handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions).
NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.

They are #ifdef'd.
Add -D_DROP_COLUMN_HACK__ compile option
to evaluate it.
