* SQL99. Also, this provides a way to search the system namespace first
* without thereby making it the default creation target namespace.)

+ * For security reasons, searches using the search path will ignore the temp
+ * namespace when searching for any object type other than relations and
+ * types. (We must allow types since temp tables have rowtypes.)
+ *
* The default creation target namespace is always the first element of the
* explicit list. If the explicit list is empty, there is no default target.
*
- * In bootstrap mode, the search path is set equal to 'pg_catalog', so that
+ * The textual specification of search_path can include "$user" to refer to
+ * the namespace named the same as the current user, if any. (This is just
+ * ignored if there is no such namespace.) Also, it can include "pg_temp"
+ * to refer to the current backend's temp namespace. This is usually also
+ * ignorable if the temp namespace hasn't been set up, but there's a special
+ * case: if "pg_temp" appears first then it should be the default creation
+ * target. We kluge this case a little bit so that the temp namespace isn't
+ * set up until the first attempt to create something in it. (The reason for
+ * klugery is that we can't create the temp namespace outside a transaction,
+ * but initial GUC processing of search_path happens outside a transaction.)
+ * activeTempCreationPending is TRUE if "pg_temp" appears first in the string
+ * but is not reflected in activeCreationNamespace because the namespace isn't
+ * set up yet.
+ *
+ * In bootstrap mode, the search path is set equal to "pg_catalog", so that
* the system namespace is the only one searched or inserted into.
