and readability.

entries now for int8 and network hash indexes.  int24_ops and int42_ops
are gone.  pg_opclass no longer contains multiple entries claiming to be
the default opclass for the same datatype.  opr_sanity regress test
extended to catch errors like these in the future.

materialized tupleset is small enough) instead of a temporary relation.
This was something I was thinking of doing anyway for performance, and Jan
says he needs it for TOAST because he doesn't want to cope with toasting
noname relations.  With this change, the 'noname table' support in heap.c
is dead code, and I have accordingly removed it.  Also clean up 'noname'
plan handling in planner --- nonames are either sort or materialize plans,
and it seems less confusing to handle them separately under those names.

reference page to new configuration system. Big update to administrator's
guide, chapters Runtime environment, Client authentication, and User
management, the latter two were part of the old Security chapter.

passing the index-is-unique flag to index build routines (duh! ...
why wasn't it done this way to begin with?).  Aside from eliminating
an eyesore, this should save a few milliseconds in btree index creation
because a full scan of pg_index is not needed any more.

discussion of 5/19/00).  pg_index is now searched for indexes of a
relation using an indexscan.  Moreover, this is done once and cached
in the relcache entry for the relation, in the form of a list of OIDs
for the indexes.  This list is used by the parser and executor to drive
lookups in the pg_index syscache when they want to know the properties
of the indexes.  Net result: index information will be fully cached
for repetitive operations such as inserts.

pointers, namely the catcache tuple fetch routines.  Also get rid of
the unused and possibly confusing 'size' field in struct cachedesc.
Since it doesn't allow for variable-length fields, anyone who
actually trusted it would likely be making a mistake...

Add options to configure to automatically build for Kerberos
support; no more editing of make files.

stored rules.  Bump catversion to reflect incompatibility.

was inappropriately relying on rel->rd_nblocks to tell if the LO is
empty (apparently a hack to get around a long-dead index bug), causing
misbehavior on a written-but-never-vacuumed LO.  Also, inv_read failed
to cope gracefully with 'holes' (unwritten regions) in the object.

we'll get there one day.

Use `cat' to create aclocal.m4, not `aclocal'. Some people don't
have automake installed.

Only run the autoconf rule in the top-level GNUmakefile if the
invoker specified `make configure', don't run it automatically
because of CVS timestamp skew.

Move "query result" tables to left side of page (remove leading spaces).

--- ie, they're only called for side-effects.  Add a PG_RETURN_VOID()
macro and use it where appropriate.  This probably doesn't change the
machine code by a single bit ... it's just for documentation.
