nRe: [PATCH v1] Show whether tables are logged in \dt+

Hello David,

Patch v3 applies, but compiles for me with a warning because the
indentation of the following size block has been changed:

describe.c: In function ‘listTables’:
describe.c:3705:7: warning: this ‘if’ clause does not guard...
[-Wmisleading-indentation]
else if (pset.sversion >= 80100)
^~
describe.c:3710:3: note: ...this statement, but the latter is misleadingly
indented as if it were guarded by the ‘if’
appendPQExpBuffer(&buf,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Make check fails because of my temp schema was numbered 4 instead of 3,
and I'm "fabien" rather than "shackle".

The tests have not been fixed.

I think that they need a dedicated user to replace "shackle", and I'm
afraid that there temporary test schema instability cannot be easily fixed
at the "psql" level, but would require some kind of TAP tests instead if
it is to be checked. In the short term, do not.

I checked that the \di+ works, though. I've played with temporary views
and \dv as well.

I discovered that you cannot have temporary unlogged objects, nor
temporary or unlogged materialized views. Intuitively I'd have thought
that these features would be orthogonal, but they are not. Also I created
an unlogged table with a SERIAL which created a sequence. The table is
unlogged but the sequence is permanent, which is probably ok.

I only have packages down to pg 9.3, so I could not test prior 9.1. By
looking at the online documentation, is seems that relistemp appears in pg
8.4, so the corresponding extraction should be guarded by this version.
Before that, temporary objects existed but were identified indirectly,
possibly because they were stored in a temporary schema. I suggest not to
try to address cases prior 8.4.
