2) Detect the transaction status more naturally.

of updatable cursors.

it will no longer be a useful unique identifier of relations;
we want to encourage people to rely on the relation OID instead.
Further work on dumping qual expressions in EXPLAIN, too.
objects to be privilege-checked. Some change in their APIs would be
necessary no matter what in the schema environment, and simply getting
rid of the name-based interface entirely seems like the best way.
the parsetree representation. As yet we don't *do* anything with schema
names, just drop 'em on the floor; but you can enter schema-compatible
command syntax, and there's even a primitive CREATE SCHEMA command.
No doc updates yet, except to note that you can now extract a field
from a function-returning-row's result with (foo(...)).fieldname.
these versions adhere to the backend protocol better than previous version

in the current code, the authentication logic (check user, check the
relation we're operating on, etc) is done in tcop/utility.c, whereas the
actual TRUNCATE command in done in TruncateRelation() in
commands/createinh.c (which is really just a wrapper over
heap_truncate() in catalog/heap.c). This patch moves the authentication
logic into TruncateRelation(), as well as making some minor code
cleanups.

Therein lies the problem... :)
Since it appears you have the requirement of supporting old python
versions, attached is just the pgdb.py part of the patch (with a fix for
DateTime handling). It has the same functionality but certainly won't be
quite as fast. Given the absence of _PyString_Join in python1.5, it's a
pain to get the C variants working for all versions. The pgdb.py patch
does leaves the hooks in, should someone wish to do the optimization at a
later point.
