This extension is needed in order to deal realistically with hashed or
materialized sub-selects.

ORDER BY. This is documentation for code changes made pursuant to
pgsql-hackers discussion around 29-Nov-02.

Have MOVE return 0/1 depending on cursor position.

Ok, fair enough. I've attached a revised version of the patch -- let me
know you think it needs further improvements.

* Add schema, cast, and conversion backslash commands to psql
I had to create a new publically available function,
pg_conversion_is_visible, as it seemed to be missing from the catalogs.
This required me to do no small amount of hacking around in namespace.c
I have updated the \? help and sgml docs.
\dc - list conversions [PATTERN]
\dC - list casts
\dn list schemas
I didn't support patterns with casts as there's nothing obvious to match
against.
Catalog version incremented --- initdb required.

make VALUE a non-reserved word again, use less invasive method of passing
ConstraintTestValue into transformExpr, fix problems with nested constraint
testing, do correct thing with NULL result from a constraint expression,
remove memory leak. Domain checks still need much more work if we are going
to allow ALTER DOMAIN, however.
documentation and regression test mods. It seemed small and unobtrusive enough
to not require a specific proposal on the hackers list -- but if not, let me
know and I'll make a pitch. Otherwise, if there are no objections please apply.
