Re: TODO: read-only tables, select from indexes only.

Hannu,

1) possibility to explicitly change table status to READ-ONLY .

2) setting a flag CAN_OMIT_HEAP_CHECK after REINDEX TABLE for tables
that are READ-ONLY

3) changing postgres planner/executor to make use of this flag, by not
going to heap for tuples on tables where CAN_OMIT_HEAP_CHECK is true.

As soneone who appears to be all about data warehousing these days, let me
speak in favor of this idea.    And say that you're welcome to submit it to
the Bizgres distribution so we can test it out ....
