Hi,

I'm implementing "global index" - an index that indexes all tables in an
inheritance hierarchy. For complete feature description, please refer
README.user.

Attached zip contents:
1. README.user: features and limitations from user perspective
2. README.dev: design and implementation notes
3. global_index.sql, global_index.out: regression test and its output
4. tests.txt: concurrency test cases; this and the regression tests should
give an idea of how the feature actually works.
5. gbl_indx_wip1: patch file w.r.t. anoncvs checkout dated 1 Dec 08.

Please do provide any feedback you might have about the implementation, and
ideas regarding limitations/bugs.

Thanks,
Srinath.

If you want to submit patches, you're really going to have to get your
corporate lawyers to let you submit them without this disclaimer.
I'm not sure it's even legal for me to read the patch, let alone put
it into the Postgres sources.
