ie, consider only the columns coming from the JOIN clause's sub-clauses.
Also detect attempts to reference columns belonging to other tables
(which would still be possible using an explicitly-qualified name).
I'm not sure this implements the spec's semantics 100% accurately, but
at least it gives plausible behavior.
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.
DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because
a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.
b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.
(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

- Use symbols for tests on relkind (ie. use RELKIND_VIEW, not 'v')
- Fix bug in support for -b option (== --blobs).
- Dump views as views (using 'create view').
- Remove 'isViewRule' since we check the relkind when getting tables.
- Now uses temp table 'pgdump_oid' rather than 'pg_dump_oid' (errors otherwise).
- Added extra param for specifying handling of OID=0 and which typename to output.
- Fixed bug in SQL scanner when SQL contained braces. (in rules)
- Use format_type function wherever possible
regression tests for specific types, and move a few others to the
cross-type "horology" test.
Rearrange the test order slightly, and move the abstime test to the
"parallel safe" area.
Hand-patch the results for "1947" and for "solaris", so those may not
be exactly correct.
one-line change necessary. Due to the Mark Holloman "New Relkind for
Views" patch, my support for views in the driver will need to be updated
to match. The change to DatabaseMetaData.getTableTypes[][] is as
follows:
- {"VIEW", "(relkind='r' and relhasrules='t' and relname !~
'^pg_' and relname !~ '^xinv')"},
+ {"VIEW", "(relkind='v' and relname !~ '^pg_' and relname
!~ '^xinv')"},

driver if the translations files have not been properly installed. (We
carefully avoided installing the translations file in a controlled
environment here specifically to test for such a bug. :-)

This is a patch which lets the DatabaseMetaData return the object type
when getTables(....) is called. It does not really fix any bug, but it
fills in some functionality that should be there anyway. The diff
included here is off of the CVS as of just now :)

for views. Views are now have a "relkind" of
RELKIND_VIEW instead of RELKIND_RELATION.
Also, views no longer have actual heap storage
files.
The following changes were made
1. CREATE VIEW sets the new relkind
2. The executor complains if a DELETE or
INSERT references a view.
3. DROP RULE complains if an attempt is made
to delete a view SELECT rule.
4. CREATE RULE "_RETmytable" AS ON SELECT TO mytable DO INSTEAD ...
1. checks to make sure mytable is empty.
2. sets the relkind to RELKIND_VIEW.
3. deletes the heap storage files.
5. LOCK myview is not allowed. :)
6. the regression test type_sanity was changed to
account for the new relkind value.
7. CREATE INDEX ON myview ... is not allowed.
8. VACUUM myview is not allowed.
VACUUM automatically skips views when do the entire
database.
9. TRUNCATE myview is not allowed.
THINGS LEFT TO THINK ABOUT
o pg_views
o pg_dump
o pgsql (\d \dv)
o Do we really want to be able to inherit from views?
o Is 'DROP TABLE myview' OK?

souce directory of OpenSSL as argument to the --with-openssl - argument.
./configure --with-openssl=/tmp/openssl-0.9.5/ - the libcrypto.a is in
the
"base" directory, not lib/.
Also, there's 2-3 typo fixes to the documentation for SSL - it should be
"server.crt", not "server.cert".

7.0.2 release. Sorry, if that's fixed ages ago - I don't track
development versions of PostgreSQL.
Patch is just a little bit tested (some valid functions created and
successfully run as well as some erroneous ones created and emitted proper
error messages when used).
My platform is FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT (with perl 5.6.0 provided in the
base system).

encountered while getting my reporting tool up and running with the
driver. All changes are in the DatabaseMetaData class.
Problem: The getDatabaseProductVersion() method was returning "6.5.2"
Resolution: Changed it to return "7.0.2"
Problem: A call to getTables() with an unsupported table type (in the
String array) resulted in a malformed SQL statement and subsequent
parsing error
Resolution: Unsupported table types are now ignored without error
Problem: In a getTables() call, tables and views were both returned by
the "TABLE" table type, and the "VIEW" table type was unsupported
Resolution: Changed the "TABLE" type to return only physical tables and
added support for the "VIEW" table type (returning only views)
Problem: The getIdentifierQuoteString() method was returning null
Resolution: This method now returns a double-quote

Here's the multibyte aware version of my patch to fix the truncation
of the rulename autogenerated during a CREATE VIEW. I've modified all
the places in the backend that want to construct the rulename to use
the MakeRetrieveViewRuleName(), where I put the #ifdef MULTIBYTE, so
that's the only place that knows how to construct a view rulename. Except
pg_dump, where I replicated the code, since it's a standalone binary.
The only effect the enduser will see is that views with names len(name)
> NAMEDATALEN-4 will fail to be created, if the derived rulename clases
with an existing rule: i.e. the user is trying to create two views with
long names whose first difference is past NAMEDATALEN-4 (but before
NAMEDATALEN: that'll error out after the viewname truncation.) In no
case will the user get left with a table without a view rule, as the
current code does.

The regression tests abstime, horology, int2, int4, and tinterval fail
by default. They will pass if comparison is made to one of the
variant expected/*.out files.
(A related problem is that the geometry test fails. This seems to be
just a matter of FP precision but more rigorous inspection is needed.
No existing expected/geometry-*.out variant matches.)
