Tom Lane	a78fcfb512	Restructure operator classes to allow improved handling of cross-data-type ... 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.	19 years ago

Neil Conway	48fb696753	Fix a number of syntax errors in contrib modules' uninstall scripts. ... Most of the changes add the mandatory USING clause to DROP OPERATOR CLASS statements. DROP TYPE is now DROP TYPE CASCADE; without CASCADE a DROP TYPE fails due to the circular dependency on the type's I/O functions. The DROP FUNCTION statements for the I/O functions have been removed, as DROP TYPE CASCADE removes them automatically. Patch from Michael Fuhr.	20 years ago
