* configure, config/c-library.m4: Make checks for global variables
(sys_nerr, timezone) safe against getting optimized away
completely.
2001-01-09 21:24 inoue
* src/backend/storage/lmgr/lock.c: Removed a no longer needed
SetWaitingForLock() call in DeadLockCheck().
2001-01-09 21:12 tgl
* src/backend/commands/cluster.c: Do The Right Thing (tm) if asked
to cluster a temp table. Previous code would cluster, but table
would magically lose its tempness.
2001-01-09 15:46 meskes
* src/interfaces/ecpg/: ChangeLog, preproc/preproc.y: Synced
preproc.y with gram.y.
2001-01-09 14:45 petere
* src/makefiles/Makefile.win: Remove -L$(libdir) from DLLLIBS to
prevent linking with an old version (i.e., 7.0.3) of libpostgres.a.
From Jason Tishler <jt@dothill.com>.
2001-01-09 14:40 petere
* configure, configure.in, config/c-library.m4,
src/backend/utils/error/elog.c, src/backend/utils/error/exc.c,
src/include/c.h, src/include/config.h.in, src/include/port/beos.h,
src/include/port/win.h: Add configure check for sys_nerr, to end
all discussions.
2001-01-09 12:07 momjian
* contrib/pgcrypto/md5.c, contrib/pgcrypto/md5.h,
contrib/pgcrypto/pgcrypto.c, contrib/pgcrypto/pgcrypto.h,
contrib/pgcrypto/sha1.c, contrib/pgcrypto/sha1.h, src/include/c.h:
The KAME files md5.* and sha1.* have the following changelog entry:
2001-01-09 12:05 momjian
* doc/src/sgml/sql.sgml: Apply proper sql.sgml change.
2001-01-09 11:48 momjian
* doc/src/sgml/sql.sgml: Attached is a doc patch for
doc/src/sgml/sql.sgml.
It adds information about SQL JOIN that is implemented in 7.1.
-- -------- Robert B. Easter
2001-01-09 11:26 momjian
* doc/src/sgml/plsql.sgml: A patch for doc/src/sgml/plsql.sgml to
add a little more info about PL/pgSQL EXECUTE.
-- -------- Robert B. Easter
2001-01-09 10:23 momjian
* doc/src/sgml/spi.sgml: Approaching the current documentation from
a position of ignorance, I find it ambiguous. I propose something
along the lines of the following patch to clarify it. Thanks.
(Alternatively, perhaps the code could maintain a count of nested
calls to SPI_connect/SPI_finish. But I didn't try to write that
patch.)

* configure, configure.in:
jump version to beta3 ... beta2 was created and pulled due to a
couple of large-ish bugs that Tom and Vadim were able to fix, but
to avoid any confusion, beta2 was removed ... and for tag'ng
purposes, beta3 is being created ...
2001-01-09 05:54 ishii
* doc/README.mb.big5: Add a README file for multi-byte. This file
is contributed by Chih-Chang Hsieh <cch@cc.kmu.edu.tw>, written in
traditional Chinese (Big5).
2001-01-09 05:38 inoue
* src/backend/storage/lmgr/proc.c: Disable query cancel during
HandleDeadLock().
2001-01-09 02:24 vadim
* src/backend/: access/transam/xlog.c, utils/misc/guc.c: 1.
Checkpoint.undo may be after checkpoint itself: - no more
elog(STOP) in StartupXLOG(); - both checkpoint' undo & redo are
used to define oldest on-line log file. 2. Ability to
pre-allocate a few log files at checkpoint time (wal_files
option). Off by default.
2001-01-09 00:40 ishii
* doc/README.mb: README.mb has been unified into SGML documents.
2001-01-08 23:48 tgl
* src/: backend/optimizer/util/tlist.c, include/optimizer/tlist.h,
backend/optimizer/plan/setrefs.c,
backend/optimizer/plan/subselect.c: Fix oversight in planning of
GROUP queries: when an expression is used as both a GROUP BY item
and an output expression, the top-level Group node should just copy
up the evaluated expression value from its input, rather than
re-evaluating the expression. Aside from any performance benefit
this might offer, this avoids a crash when there is a sub-SELECT in
said expression.
2001-01-08 22:15 tgl
* src/include/storage/relfilenode.h: Fix small but critical typo
...
2001-01-08 19:02 tgl
* src/bin/scripts/vacuumdb: Prevent vacuumdb from trying to vacuum
template0.
2001-01-08 18:07 tgl
* doc/src/sgml/syntax.sgml: Document the system attributes ctid and
tableoid, which for some reason were never yet mentioned anywhere
in our documentation. Improve explanations of the other system
attributes, too.
2001-01-08 17:30 tgl
* doc/src/sgml/ref/select.sgml: Document that we don't support
ORDER BY with general expressions on the output of
UNION/INTERSECT/EXCEPT.
2001-01-08 17:01 petere
* doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml: Add rudimentary section about
controlling kernel's file and process limits.
2001-01-08 16:54 momjian
* doc/TODO.detail/flock, doc/TODO.detail/memory,
src/backend/parser/analyze.c: Remove compiler warning about
uninitialized warnings.
2001-01-08 16:32 tgl
* src/bin/scripts/vacuumdb: check for failure after vacuuming each
DB, not only the last one.
2001-01-08 14:34 tgl
* src/backend/utils/cache/relcache.c: Add some debugging support
code (ifdef'd out in normal use).
2001-01-08 14:31 tgl
* src/backend/storage/buffer/bufmgr.c: LockBuffer should not elog
while holding buffer's cntx_lock.
2001-01-07 23:14 inoue
* src/backend/commands/command.c: Keep relations open until they
are no longer needed.
2001-01-07 20:31 tgl
* src/backend/nodes/: outfuncs.c, readfuncs.c: Make
outfuncs/readfuncs treat OIDs properly as unsigned values. Clean
up inconsistent coding practices for handling Index values and
booleans, too.
2001-01-07 18:14 tgl
* src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c: Correct nasty error in
heap_update: it was releasing the buffer refcount before calling
RelationInvalidateHeapTuple(), which is bad because the latter
needs to look at the tuple data, which is in the shared disk
buffer. If another backend manages to recycle the buffer while
this is going on, we will compute the wrong hashindex for the tuple
or maybe even crash outright. Must hold buffer refcount until
afterwards. (This bug is not in 7.0.*; seems to be have introduced
during WAL changes.)
2001-01-07 00:30 tgl
* src/backend/storage/ipc/ipc.c: Clear QueryCancel and
ProcDiePending at start of proc_exit, to ensure that leftover
cancel/die requests cannot interfere with exit activities.
2001-01-07 00:17 tgl
* src/: include/miscadmin.h, include/utils/elog.h,
backend/tcop/postgres.c, backend/utils/init/globals.c: Fix recent
breakage of query-cancel logic, see my pghackers message of 6 Jan
2001 21:55.
2001-01-06 22:23 pgsql
* configure, configure.in:
tag configure as beta2 ..
2001-01-06 21:14 tgl
* src/test/regress/resultmap: Resultmap updates for OpenBSD, per
report from bpalmer@crimelabs.net.
2001-01-06 21:08 tgl
* src/: backend/nodes/outfuncs.c, backend/nodes/read.c,
backend/nodes/readfuncs.c, include/catalog/catversion.h,
include/nodes/readfuncs.h: Modify readfuncs so that recursive use
of stringToNode will not crash and burn. Just for added luck,
change reading of CONST nodes so that we do not need to consult
pg_type rows while reading them; this means that no database access
occurs during stringToNode. This requires changing the order in
which const-node fields are written, which means an initdb is
forced.
2001-01-06 20:05 tgl
* src/backend/commands/command.c: Clean up checking of relkind for
ALTER TABLE and LOCK TABLE commands. Disallow cases like adding
constraints to sequences :-(, and eliminate now-unnecessary search
of pg_rewrite to decide if a relation is a view.
2001-01-06 17:59 tgl
* src/backend/utils/mmgr/aset.c: Log memory context stats to stderr
when reporting a 'Memory exhausted' error, so as to provide a
starting point for debugging.
2001-01-06 17:53 tgl
* src/backend/utils/cache/relcache.c: Fix memory leak in relcache
handling of rules: allocate rule parsetrees in per-entry
sub-memory-context, where they were supposed to go, rather than in
CacheMemoryContext where the code was putting them. Must've
suffered a severe brain fade when I wrote this :-(
2001-01-06 17:24 petere
* GNUmakefile.in: Use more portable syntax for 'find'.
2001-01-06 16:57 petere
* src/bin/pg_dump/: pg_dump.c, pg_restore.c: Polish help output.
Allow --help to work with BSD getopts.
2001-01-06 13:43 tgl
* src/interfaces/libpq/fe-print.c: No need for screen_size to be
static.
2001-01-06 12:54 petere
* doc/src/sgml/Makefile: Simplify rules to build man pages so they
run a lot faster and create less noise.
2001-01-06 08:38 ishii
* doc/README.mb.jp: Update multibyte Japanese doc for 7.1.
2001-01-06 08:26 petere
* doc/src/sgml/plsql.sgml: EXECUTE documentation, from "Robert B.
Easter" <reaster@comptechnews.com>. I threw in spell check run
over the whole file.
2001-01-06 07:58 petere
* doc/src/sgml/: datetime.sgml, filelist.sgml, keywords.sgml,
syntax.sgml, user.sgml: Update section on SQL syntax. (Still a lot
to be done though.) Add appendix with comprehensive list of key
words.
2001-01-06 06:50 petere
* src/backend/parser/gram.y: Simplify the rules that explicitly
allowed TYPE as a type name (which is no longer the case). Add AND
and TRAILING to ColLabel. All key words except AS are now at least
ColLabel's.
2001-01-06 00:14 tgl
* doc/src/sgml/ref/create_rule.sgml: Bring CREATE RULE reference
page into some semblance of agreement with what's actually
implemented.
2001-01-05 23:33 ishii
* src/backend/commands/copy.c: Fix copy to make it more robust
against unexpected character sequences. This is done by disabling
multi-byte awareness when it's not necessary. This is kind of a
workaround, not a perfect solution. However, there is no ideal way
to parse broken multi-byte character sequences. So I guess this is
the best way what we could do right now...
2001-01-05 21:48 inoue
* src/backend/utils/cache/relcache.c: init_irels() is changed to be
called in RelationCacheInitializePhase2() so that transactional
control could guarantee the consistency.
2001-01-05 21:43 tgl
* src/pl/plpgsql/src/pl_exec.c: Fix NOT NULL option for plpgsql
variables (doesn't look like it could ever have worked...)
2001-01-05 21:39 tgl
* src/pl/plpgsql/src/gram.y: Fix misplaced strdup(), which could
lead to error messages referencing deallocated memory later on.
2001-01-05 18:54 tgl
* src/: backend/utils/cache/catcache.c,
backend/utils/cache/inval.c, include/utils/catcache.h: Rename and
document some invalidation routines to make it clearer that they
don't themselves flush any cache entries, only add to to-do lists
that will be processed later.
2001-01-05 02:34 tgl
* doc/src/sgml/advanced.sgml, doc/src/sgml/inherit.sgml,
doc/src/sgml/ref/alter_table.sgml,
doc/src/sgml/ref/create_table.sgml, src/backend/nodes/copyfuncs.c,
src/backend/nodes/equalfuncs.c, src/backend/parser/analyze.c,
src/backend/parser/gram.y, src/backend/parser/parse_clause.c,
src/backend/parser/keywords.c, src/backend/tcop/utility.c,
src/bin/pgaccess/lib/help/create_table.hlp,
src/bin/pgaccess/lib/help/inheritance.hlp,
src/include/nodes/parsenodes.h, src/include/parser/parse_clause.h,
src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/keywords.c,
src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/preproc.y,
src/test/regress/sql/inherit.sql,
src/test/regress/expected/inherit.out: Remove not-really-standard
implementation of CREATE TABLE's UNDER clause, and revert
documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause instead, per
recent discussion in pghackers. Also fix implementation of
SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze(). See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants
just after a SET TIMEZONE command. gram.y really has to be an
invariant transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree;
anything that can vary with time must be done during parse
analysis.
2001-01-04 22:58 tgl
* src/backend/commands/creatinh.c: Disallow creation of a child
table by a user who does not own the parent table, per pghackers
discussion around 22-Dec-00.
2001-01-04 13:58 petere
* configure, configure.in: Allow NetBSD's libedit to be used
instead of GNU Readline. (This simply amounts to checking for
-ledit instead of -lreadline.)
2001-01-04 13:25 petere
* src/bin/initdb/initdb.sh: Correct path where to check for
password file existance.
2001-01-03 22:38 tgl
* src/pl/plpgsql/src/pl_exec.c: Clean up some unnecessary fragility
in EXECUTE command.
2001-01-03 22:36 tgl
* src/backend/executor/spi.c: Repair guaranteed core dump in
SPI_exec(). Guess this routine wasn't used before ...
2001-01-03 22:24 inoue
* src/backend/utils/cache/relcache.c: I neglected to remove a debug
message,sorry.
2001-01-03 21:23 tgl
* src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c: pg_dump failed to handle backslashes
embedded in function definitions (and most other places where it
needed to output a string literal, too, except for data INSERT
statements). Per bug report from Easter, 12/1/00.
2001-01-03 18:01 tgl
* src/backend/: rewrite/rewriteHandler.c, utils/adt/ruleutils.c:
Fix breakage of rules using NOTIFY actions, per bug report and
patch from sergiop@sinectis.com.ar.
2001-01-03 16:04 tgl
* doc/src/sgml/ref/copy.sgml, src/backend/commands/copy.c: New file
format for COPY BINARY, in accordance with pghackers discussions of
early December 2000. COPY BINARY is now TOAST-safe.
2001-01-03 14:43 tgl
* src/backend/commands/view.c: MakeRetrieveViewRuleName was
scribbling on memory that didn't belong to it. Bad dog.
2001-01-03 12:48 thomas
* src/backend/utils/adt/timestamp.c: Repair always-broken
date_part('quarter',timestamp). Previous result did not have
correct month boundaries so anything near edge cases was suspect
(e.g. April was in Q1 and July, August were lumped into Q2).
Thanks to Denis Osadchy <osadchy@turbo.nsk.su> for the report.
2001-01-02 18:13 petere
* configure, configure.in: Only update stamp-h if config.status
actually looks at config.h.
2001-01-02 18:03 momjian
* src/interfaces/ecpg/lib/execute.c: I've found a memory leak in
libecpg of PostgreSQL 7.0.3. The leak is caused by the memory
allocation in src/interfaces/ecpg/lib/execute.c in line 669 which
is never freed. Adding a "free(array_query);" after PQexec in line
671 seems to fix the leak.
Thorsten Knabe
2001-01-02 01:56 tgl
* src/test/regress/README, doc/src/sgml/regress.sgml: Document
tuple ordering differences as a possible cause of regression test
'failures'.
2001-01-02 00:33 tgl
* src/: backend/access/transam/xlogutils.c, backend/lib/hasht.c,
backend/storage/lmgr/lock.c, backend/utils/cache/relcache.c,
backend/utils/hash/dynahash.c, backend/utils/mmgr/portalmem.c,
include/lib/hasht.h, include/utils/hsearch.h: Clean up
non-reentrant interface for hash_seq/HashTableWalk, so that
starting a new hashtable search no longer clobbers any other search
active anywhere in the system. Fix RelationCacheInvalidate() so
that it will not crash or go into an infinite loop if invoked
recursively, as for example by a second SI Reset message arriving
while we are still processing a prior one.
2001-01-01 22:13 tgl
* src/test/regress/pg_regress.sh: Tweak temporary-installation
setup so that it doesn't break when the configured install --prefix
begins with /data/...
2001-01-01 19:18 tgl
* src/test/regress/expected/geometry-alpha-precision.out: Update
geometry-alpha-precision.out per reports from Brent Verner and
Adriaan Joubert.
2001-01-01 19:10 tgl
* configure, configure.in: Define HAVE_LIBZ only if we detect
<zlib.h> as well as libz.a/.so. Otherwise, build falls over on a
machine with a non-devel RPM of libz.
2001-01-01 17:35 tgl
* src/backend/commands/cluster.c: CLUSTER forgot to create a TOAST
table for the clustered relation.
2001-01-01 17:33 tgl
* src/backend/catalog/heap.c: Ensure attcacheoff is written out as
-1 when writing pg_attribute tuples for a relation. Needed to
prevent Assert failure in CLUSTER.
2001-01-01 17:22 tgl
* src/backend/executor/execMain.c: Update comment.
2000-12-31 18:34 tgl
* src/include/catalog/pg_operator.h: Mark geometric 'overlaps'
operators (&&) as self-commutative.
2000-12-31 18:24 tgl
* src/bin/initdb/initdb.sh: Fix typo in error message.
2000-12-31 14:38 tgl
* src/test/regress/pg_regress.sh: Don't say 'export PGHOST' or
'export PGPORT' unless we actually define those variables. Some
shells will invent an empty-string definition in this case, which
is not what we want.
2000-12-31 14:23 tgl
* src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c: On further thought, we need a
defense against empty PGPORT here too.
2000-12-31 14:15 tgl
* src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c: Ignore PGPORT environment
variable if it is an empty string.
2000-12-31 14:04 tgl
* src/backend/main/main.c: Reverse #if test to be defined(__osf__)
rather than not-any-of-a-lot- of-others.
2000-12-31 07:57 petere
* src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c: Remove incorrect use of
rl_special_prefixes until further evaluation.
2000-12-30 23:33 tgl
* src/: include/port/netbsd.h, backend/main/main.c: NetBSD/Alpha
porting fixes from tom@minnesota.com.
2000-12-30 15:17 tgl
* src/backend/port/snprintf.c: Be more careful about the difference
between signed and unsigned ints. Bug is revealed by OID regress
test on 64-bit platforms.
2000-12-30 15:11 petere
* doc/src/sgml/advanced.sgml: Correct UNDER syntax.
2000-12-30 15:00 petere
* doc/src/sgml/ref/create_table.sgml: Correct UNDER syntax.
2000-12-30 13:11 petere
* doc/src/sgml/ref/pgaccess-ref.sgml: Refinements
2000-12-30 12:48 petere
* src/interfaces/odbc/statement.c: Remove C++ comment.
2000-12-30 11:19 vadim
* src/: backend/access/heap/heapam.c, backend/commands/vacuum.c,
backend/storage/page/bufpage.c, include/access/htup.h,
include/storage/bufpage.h: 1. WAL needs in zero-ed content of newly
initialized page. 2. Log record for PageRepaireFragmentation now
keeps array of !LP_USED offnums to redo cleanup properly.
2000-12-30 11:03 petere
* doc/src/sgml/runtime.sgml: Add mention of sysctl(8) for IPC
tuning on Linux.
2000-12-30 10:47 petere
* src/bin/psql/command.c: Remove incorrect assert.
2000-12-30 02:52 vadim
* src/backend/access/: heap/heapam.c, transam/xlog.c: Fixed
misprint in heap update WALoging.
2000-12-30 02:10 ishii
* src/bin/pg_ctl/pg_ctl.sh: Imporve messages.
2000-12-29 22:48 tgl
* src/test/regress/resultmap: Apparently, special float8 comparison
file for Alpha is only needed when using vendor cc, not gcc.
2000-12-29 22:34 tgl
* src/include/storage/s_lock.h: Clean up spinlock assembly code
slightly (just cosmetic improvements) for Alpha gcc case. For
Alpha non-gcc case, replace use of __INTERLOCKED_TESTBITSS_QUAD
builtin with __LOCK_LONG_RETRY and __UNLOCK_LONG. The former does
not execute an MB instruction and therefore was guaranteed not to
work on multiprocessor machines. The LOCK_LONG builtins produce
code that is the same in all essential details as the gcc assembler
code.
2000-12-29 21:20 tgl
* src/backend/storage/ipc/ipc.c: Paranoia about possible values of
errno after a shmget/semget failure. In theory we should always
get EEXIST if there's a key collision, but if the kernel code tests
error conditions in a weird order, perhaps EACCES or EIDRM could
occur too.
2000-12-29 20:50 tgl
* src/pl/plpgsql/enable_plpgsql: Remove obsolete and unportable
enable_plpgsql script. createlang has been the supported and
documented way to do this for a long time...
2000-12-29 20:24 petere
* Makefile, src/Makefile, src/interfaces/python/GNUmakefile: Fix
unportable use of '!' in shell commands.
2000-12-29 18:46 tgl
* src/interfaces/libpgtcl/pgtclCmds.c: column and tuple numbers
should be int not size_t.
2000-12-29 17:31 tgl
* src/: backend/storage/buffer/s_lock.c, include/storage/s_lock.h,
backend/access/transam/xlog.c, backend/storage/buffer/bufmgr.c: Fix
failure in CreateCheckPoint on some Alpha boxes --- it's not OK to
assume that TAS() will always succeed the first time, even if the
lock is known to be free. Also, make sure that code will
eventually time out and report a stuck spinlock, rather than
looping forever. Small cleanups in s_lock.h, too.
2000-12-29 16:47 vadim
* src/backend/access/nbtree/: nbtinsert.c, nbtpage.c: MUST update
(in-memory) data page BEFORE XLogInsert to log NEW page content if
WAL will decide to backup page.
2000-12-29 16:39 tgl
* src/Makefile.global.in, configure, configure.in: stamp-h needs to
be made by config.status, not elsewhere, per recipe in Autoconf
manual. In particular, touching it before creating config.status
is guaranteed to lose.
2000-12-29 04:08 vadim
* src/backend/access/nbtree/nbtree.c: nbtree_xlog_newroot: set meta
flag in meta page opaque.
2000-12-28 19:56 momjian
* src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/:
jdbc1/PreparedStatement.java, jdbc1/ResultSet.java,
jdbc2/PreparedStatement.java, jdbc2/ResultSet.java: Attached are
patches for two fixes to reduce memory usage by the JDBC drivers.
The first fix fixes the PreparedStatement object to not allocate
unnecessary objects when converting native types to Stings. The
old code used the following format: (new
Integer(x)).toString() whereas this can more efficiently be
occompilshed by: Integer.toString(x); avoiding the
unnecessary object creation.
The second fix is to release some resources on the close() of a
ResultSet. Currently the close() method on ResultSet is a noop.
The purpose of the close() method is to release resources when the
ResultSet is no longer needed. The fix is to free the tuples
cached by the ResultSet when it is closed (by clearing out the
Vector object that stores the tuples). This is important for my
application, as I have a cache of Statement objects that I reuse.
Since the Statement object maintains a reference to the ResultSet
and the ResultSet kept references to the old tuples, my cache was
holding on to a lot of memory.

* contrib/rserv/Makefile: Qualify %.in rule to avoid triggering on
configure.in, repair unportable attempt to install more than one
file per 'install' invocation, clean up some other oddities.

encoding that is used isn't obtained from the DB. Since Java uses
unicode UCS2 internally the character set encoding is used to
translate strings from/to the DB encoding. So it seems logical
that the code would get the encoding from the DB instead of the
current method of requiring the user pass it as a parameter.
Attached is a patch that gets the DB encoding from the DB in the
same manner as is done in libpq/fe-connect.c. The patch is created
off of the latest CVS sources (Connection.java version 1.10).

is not released at transaction commit (but it is released on
transaction abort, to ensure recovery after an elog(ERROR)). In
VACUUM, use a session lock to protect the master table while
vacuuming a TOAST table, so that the TOAST table can be done in an
independent transaction.
I also took this opportunity to do some cleanup and renaming in the
lock code. The previously noted bug in ProcLockWakeup, that it
couldn't wake up any waiters beyond the first non-wakeable waiter,
is now fixed. Also found a previously unknown bug of the same kind
(failure to scan all members of a lock queue in some cases) in
DeadLockCheck. This might have led to failure to detect a deadlock
condition, resulting in indefinite waits, but it's difficult to
characterize the conditions required to trigger a failure.

speedup hacking. Avoid saving useless pathkeys, so that path
comparison does not consider paths different when they differ only
in uninteresting aspects of sort order. (We had a special case of
this consideration for indexscans already, but generalize it to
apply to ordered join paths too.) Be stricter about what is a
canonical pathkey to allow faster pathkey comparison. Cache
canonical pathkeys and dispersion stats for left and right sides of
a RestrictInfo's clause, to avoid repeated computation. Total
speedup will depend on number of tables in a query, but I see about
4x speedup of planning phase for a sample seven-table query.

Aside from being simpler and faster, this way doesn't blow up in

rather odd thing to do, but it seems some people want to.

* doc/src/sgml/: query.sgml, ref/create_rule.sgml: In 'Joins
between classes' in Section 5 of the tutorial we have, in the first
paragraph:
As an example, say we wish to find all the records that
are in the temperature range of other records. In
effect, we need to compare the temp_lo and temp_hi
attributes of each EMP instance to the temp_lo and
temp_hi attributes of all other EMP instances.
I believe that EMP should read WEATHER, as the example query that
follows joins WEATHER to itself.
EMP is often used in Oracle examples.

* src/: include/catalog/pg_proc.h, backend/utils/adt/date.c,
backend/utils/adt/timestamp.c: Make OVERLAPS operators conform to
SQL92 spec regarding NULL handling. As I read it, the spec
requires a non-null result in some cases where one of the inputs is
NULL: specifically, if the other endpoint of that interval is
between the endpoints of the other interval, then the result is
known TRUE despite the missing endpoint. The spec could've been a
lot simpler if they did not intend this behavior. I did not force
an initdb for this change, but if you don't do one you'll still see
the old strict-function behavior.
