Re: Per-database search_path

[Bruce Momjian <bruce(at)momjian(dot)us>]

Added to TODO:

	* Allow more complex user/database default GUC settings
	
	  Currently, ALTER USER and ALTER DATABASE support per-user and
	  per-database defaults.  Consider adding per-user-and-database
	  defaults so things like search_path can be defaulted for a
	  specific user connecting to a specific database.
