Is it necessary to get the relation path name from the relation name/oid etc
each time ?
Is it bad to keep the relation path name in pg_class(or another relation) ?
If a new vessel is needed for copy(etc)ing existent tuples we have to
allocate
another unique path name otherwise we can use already allocated file name.
And is it good to dicide the unique path name from oid/relname etc ?
