+* Referential Integrity
+
+ o Add MATCH PARTIAL referential integrity
+ o Change foreign key constraint for array -> element to mean element
+ in array?
+ o Enforce referential integrity for system tables
+
+
* Server-Side Languages
o Fix PL/pgSQL RENAME to work on variables other than OLD/NEW
non-E strings are used
-Referential Integrity
-=====================
-
-* Add MATCH PARTIAL referential integrity
+Triggers
+========
* Add deferred trigger queue file
Right now all deferred trigger information is stored in backend
memory. This could exhaust memory for very large trigger queues.
This item involves dumping large queues into files.
-* Change foreign key constraint for array -> element to mean element
- in array?
* Allow DEFERRABLE UNIQUE constraints?
* Allow triggers to be disabled in only the current session.
* Allow statement-level triggers to access modified rows
* Support triggers on columns (Greg Sabino Mullane)
-* Enforce referential integrity for system tables
* Allow AFTER triggers on system tables
System tables are modified in many places in the backend without going

through the executor and therefore not causing triggers to fire. To
