In terms of system_views.sql, the SQL input files in the regression
test suites and the sample files, we are using whitespaces, not tabs.
I cannot say much about the width part and what would be a good
number, but at least it seems to me that the tabs should go.  We don't
really have a strict width rule for the SQL files in the regression
tests, and I don't think we need one.  It would be nice to keep the
same flexibility for the isolation spec files.
