I  don't know if this is really related to the initdb problem
    discussion (haven't followed it enough). But seems so because
    it  fixes  a  damn  problem  during  index tuple insertion on
    CREATE TABLE into pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index.

    Anyway - this bug was really hard to find. During startup the
    relcache  reads  in  some  prepared  information  about index
    strategies from a file and then  reinitializes  the  function
    pointers  inside  the  scanKey data.  But for sake it assumed
    single attribute index tuples (hasn't that changed recently).
    Thus not all the strategies scanKey entries where initialized
    properly,  resulting  in  invalid  addresses  for  the  btree
    comparision functions.

    With  the  patch  at  the  end  the  regression  tests passed
    excellent except for the sanity_check that crashed at  vacuum
    and the misc test where the select unique1 from onek2 outputs
    the two rows in different order.

no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
	descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;

of index tuples.  Thanks to Vadim for fix.

1. Removes the unnecessary "#define AbcRegProcedure 123"'s from
pg_proc.h.

2. Changes those #defines to use the names already defined in
fmgr.h.

3. Forces the make of fmgr.h in backend/Makefile instead of having
it
   made as a dependency in access/common/Makefile  *hack*hack*hack*

4. Rearranged the #includes to a less helter-skelter arrangement,
also
    changing <file.h> to "file.h" to signify a non-system header.

5. Removed "pg_proc.h" from files where its only purpose was for
the
   #defines removed in item #1.

6. Added "fmgr.h" to each file changed for completeness sake.

Turns out that #6 was not necessary for some files because fmgr.h
was being included in a roundabout way SIX levels deep by the first
include.

"access/genam.h"
 ->"access/relscan.h"
   ->"utils/rel.h"
     ->"access/strat.h"
       ->"access/skey.h"
	 ->"fmgr.h"

So adding fmgr.h really didn't add anything to the compile, hopefully
just made it clearer to the programmer.

varchar length.

Cleans up code so attlen is always length.

Removed varchar() hack added earlier.

Will fix bug in selecting varchar() fields, and varchar() can be
variable length.

   One  of  the design rules of PostgreSQL is extensibility. And
   to follow this rule means (at least for me) that there should
   not  only  be a builtin PL.  Instead I would prefer a defined
   interface for PL implemetations.

==========================================
What follows is a set of diffs that cleans up the usage of BLCKSZ.

As a side effect, the person compiling the code can change the
value of BLCKSZ _at_their_own_risk_.  By that, I mean that I've
tried it here at 4096 and 16384 with no ill-effects.  A value
of 4096 _shouldn't_ affect much as far as the kernel/file system
goes, but making it bigger than 8192 can have severe consequences
if you don't know what you're doing.  16394 worked for me, _BUT_
when I went to 32768 and did an initdb, the SCSI driver broke and
the partition that I was running under went to hell in a hand
basket. Had to reboot and do a good bit of fsck'ing to fix things up.

The patch can be safely applied though.  Just leave BLCKSZ = 8192
and everything is as before.  It basically only cleans up all of the
references to BLCKSZ in the code.

If this patch is applied, a comment in the config.h file though above
the BLCKSZ define with warning about monkeying around with it would
be a good idea.

(Also cleans up some of the #includes in files referencing BLCKSZ.)
==========================================

Another PGINDENT run that changes variable indenting and case label indenting.  Also static variable indenting.

Store CHECK infos on CREATE TABLE

from pg_attribute. atthasdef added.
