cases. Operator classes now exist within "operator families". While most families are equivalent to a single class, related classes can be grouped into one family to represent the fact that they are semantically compatible. Cross-type operators are now naturally adjunct parts of a family, without having to wedge them into a particular opclass as we had done originally. This commit restructures the catalogs and cleans up enough of the fallout so that everything still works at least as well as before, but most of the work needed to actually improve the planner's behavior will come later. Also, there are not yet CREATE/DROP/ALTER OPERATOR FAMILY commands; the only way to create a new family right now is to allow CREATE OPERATOR CLASS to make one by default. I owe some more documentation work, too. But that can all be done in smaller pieces once this infrastructure is in place.
This directory contains SQL tutorial scripts. To look at them, first do a % make to compile all the scripts and C files for the user-defined functions and types. (make needs to be GNU make --- it may be named something different on your system, often gmake) Then, run psql with the -s (single-step) flag: % psql -s From within psql, you can try each individual script file by using psql's \i <filename> command.
