 RELIABILITY
 -----------
--Overhaul mdmgr/smgr to fix double unlinking and double opens, cleanup(Erich)
--Overhaul bufmgr/lockmgr/transaction manager(Vadim)
-Fix CLUSTER
-Remove EXTEND?
-Fix all NULL features
-	allow psql to print nulls meaningfully
-Fix compile and security of Kerberos/GSSAPI code (Daniel Kalchev?)
-COUNT on VIEW always returns zero (maybe because there is no oid for views?)
-CREATE VIEW requires super-user priviledge
-can lo_export()/lo_import() read/write anywhere, causing a security problem?
-Tables that start with xinv confused to be large objects
-Two and three dimmensional arrays display improperly, missing {}
-Add GROUP BY and HAVING to INSERT INTO table SELECT * FROM table2
-lo_unlink() crashes server
-Allow variable casts with BETWEEN 'today'::asbtime AND 'today'::abstime
-Prevent auto-table reference, like SELECT table.col WHERE col = 3 (?)
-Remove un-needed malloc() calls and replace with palloc().
-SELECT * FROM table WHERE int4_column = '1' fails
-SELECT a[1] FROM test fails, it needs test.a[1]
-SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TAB1, TAB2 fails
-SELECT SUM(2+2) FROM table dumps core
-UPDATE table SET table.value = 3 fails
-UPDATE key_table SET keyval=max(reftab.NUM)+1 WHERE tblname='reftab' fails
-INSERT INTO ... SELECT DISTINCT ... generates error on DISTINCT
-INSERT INTO table SELECT id, count(*) FROM table2 GROUP BY id generate error

-Allow compression of log and meta data
-Add FILLFACTOR to index creation
-Allow indexes to be used with OR clauses(Vadim)
-update pg_statistic table to remove operator column
