+ * RelFileLocator must provide all that we need to know to physically access
+ * a relation, with the exception of the backend ID, which can be provided
+ * separately. Note, however, that a "physical" relation is comprised of
+ * multiple files on the filesystem, as each fork is stored as a separate
+ * file, and each fork can be divided into multiple segments. See md.c.
+ *
+ * spcOid identifies the tablespace of the relation. It corresponds to
+ * pg_tablespace.oid.
+ *
+ * dbOid identifies the database of the relation. It is zero for
+ * "shared" relations (those common to all databases of a cluster).
+ * Nonzero dbOid values correspond to pg_database.oid.
+ *
+ * relNumber identifies the specific relation. relNumber corresponds to
+ * pg_class.relfilenode (NOT pg_class.oid, because we need to be able
+ * to assign new physical files to relations in some situations).
+ * Notice that relNumber is only unique within a database in a particular
+ * tablespace.
+ *
+ * Note: spcOid must be GLOBALTABLESPACE_OID if and only if dbOid is
+ * zero. We support shared relations only in the "global" tablespace.
+ *
+ * Note: in pg_class we allow reltablespace == 0 to denote that the
+ * relation is stored in its database's "default" tablespace (as
+ * identified by pg_database.dattablespace). However this shorthand
+ * is NOT allowed in RelFileLocator structs --- the real tablespace ID
+ * must be supplied when setting spcOid.
+ *
+ * Note: in pg_class, relfilenode can be zero to denote that the relation
+ * is a "mapped" relation, whose current true filenode number is available
+ * from relmapper.c. Again, this case is NOT allowed in RelFileLocators.
+ *
+ * Note: various places use RelFileLocator in hashtable keys. Therefore,
+ * there *must not* be any unused padding bytes in this struct. That
+ * should be safe as long as all the fields are of type Oid.
