> This patch implements a different "relkind"
> for views. Views are now have a "relkind" of
> RELKIND_VIEW instead of RELKIND_RELATION.
>
> Also, views no longer have actual heap storage
> files.
>
> The follow changes were made
>
> 1. CREATE VIEW sets the new relkind
>
> 2. The executor complains if a DELETE or
> INSERT references a view.
>
> 3. DROP RULE complains if an attempt is made
> to delete a view SELECT rule.
>
> 4. CREATE RULE "_RETmytable" AS ON SELECT TO mytable DO INSTEAD ...
> 1. checks to make sure mytable is empty.
> 2. sets the relkind to RELKIND_VIEW.
> 3. deletes the heap storage files.
>
> 5. LOCK myview is not allowed. :)
>
>
> 6. the regression test type_sanity was changed to
> account for the new relkind value.
>
> 7. CREATE INDEX ON myview ... is not allowed.
