CLIENTS

* Incremental backups
* Allow SQL92 schemas
-MISC
+MISCELLANEOUS
* Increase identifier length(NAMEDATALEN) if small performance hit
* Create a background process for each database that runs while
* Missing optimizer selectivities for date, r-tree, etc. [optimizer]
* Overhaul bufmgr/lockmgr/transaction manager
* -redesign UNION structures to have separarate target lists
-* -Allow multi-level query trees for INSERT INTO ... SELECT

* Improve statistics storage in pg_class [performance]
-* Improve VACUUM speed with indexes [vacuum]
-* Reduce VACUUM lock time by moving tuples with read lock, then write
