Re: Global temporary tables

I have added support of all indexes (brin, btree, gin, gist, hash, 
spgist) for global temp tables (before only B-Tree index was supported).
It will be nice to have some generic mechanism for it, but I do not 
understand how it can look like.
The problem is that normal relations are initialized at the moment of 
their creation.
But for global temp relations metadata already exists while data is 
absent. We should somehow catch such access to not initialized page (but 
not not all pages, but just first page of relation)
and perform initialization on demand.

New patch for global temp tables with shared buffers is attached.
