records containing apostrophes in text fields without altering the appearance
of the entry in the GUI interface (by copying the fldval to fldvalfixed).
This will alleviate the need for users to create a record and then go back to
edit apostrophes into the text they entered.

Patch against 7,2 submitted for comment.
This seems to work just fine; Now, when our users submit a 2 hour
query with four million row sorts by accident, then cancel it 30 seconds
later, it doesn't bog down the server ...
wrapped-around databases. The unvacuumed databases might be fine, or
they might not, but things will definitely not be fine if we remove the
wrong CLOG segments. Per trouble report from Gary Wolfe, 1-Apr-2002.
depend on this rather than the trigger argument strings to locate the
other relation to test. This makes RI triggers function properly in
the presence of schemas and temp tables. Along the way, fix bogus lack
of locking in RI triggers, handle quoting of names fully correctly,
compute required sizes of query buffers with some semblance of accuracy.
path. The default behavior if no per-user schemas are created is that
all users share a 'public' namespace, thus providing behavior backwards
compatible with 7.2 and earlier releases. Probably the semantics and
default setting will need to be fine-tuned, but this is a start.
2) Implement some options for SQLGetDescField().
3) Handle *Inifinity* timestamp for SQL_C_CHAR type output.
4) Separate Unicode conversions from common implementations.
5) Improve internal parse_statement() function.
catalog namespace. This will not do as a production solution because
the interpretation of RI trigger arguments will vary depending on the
current namespace search path. I'm just putting it in so that the RI
regression tests don't fail while schema development proceeds. We
must find a better answer before 7.3 can be released.
sequence functions how to cope with qualified names. Same code is
also used for int4notin, currtid_byrelname, pgstattuple. Also,
move TOAST tables into special pg_toast namespace.
1) Prepare to separate 4 kinds of Descriptor handles.
2) Detect the transaction status more naturally.
3) Improve Parse Statement functionality for the use
of updatable cursors.
4) Improve updatable cursors.
5) Implement SQLGetDescField() and improve SQLColAttribute().
6) etc.
in schemas other than the system namespace; however, there's no search
path yet, and not all operations work yet on tables outside the system
namespace.
