ReportSyntaxErrorPosition could probably do with more smarts about
handling control characters, for the moment I'll just get it back to
handling tabs consistently.
comment line where output as too long, and update typedefs for /lib
directory. Also fix case where identifiers were used as variable names
in the backend, but as typedefs in ecpg (favor the backend for
indenting).
Backpatch to 8.1.X.
of client_min_messages (fatal + panic) are valid and also fixes a slight
issue with how psql tried to display error messages that aren't sent to
the client.
We often tell people to ignore errors in response to requests for things
like "drop if exists", but there's no good way to completely hide this
without upping client_min_messages past ERROR. When running a file like
SET client_min_messages TO 'FATAL';
DROP TABLE doesntexist;
with "psql -f filename" you get an error prefix of
"psql:/home/username/filename:3" even though there is no error message to
prefix because it isn't sent to the client.

in the database. The old behavior (reindex system catalogs only) is now
available as REINDEX SYSTEM. I did not add the complementary REINDEX USER
case since there did not seem to be consensus for this, but it would be
trivial to add later. Per recent discussions.
mode to only affect the presentation of normal query results, not the
output of psql slash commands. Documentation updated. I also made
some unrelated minor psql cleanup. Per suggestion from Stuart Cooper.
interesting for MS to catch all those dumps...
Anyway. Oops. Seems I ran my regression tests with the old psql, and
just managed to update the backend, when I tested that patch. Turns out
there are codepaths where we'd access the Critical Section before it was
initialized. Attached patch breaks the initializeation off to a separate
part and adds that one to a much earlier position in the program.

Use this new function in psql. Implement query cancellation in psql for
Windows. Code by Magnus Hagander, documentation and minor editorialization
by Tom Lane.
- replace some function signatures of the form "some_type foo()" with
"some_type foo(void)"
- replace a few instances of a literal 0 being used as a NULL pointer;
there are more instances of this in the code, but I just fixed a few
- in src/backend/utils/mb/wstrncmp.c, replace K&R style function
declarations with ANSI style, remove use of 'register' keyword
- remove an "extern" modifier that was applied to a function definition
(rather than a declaration)
of commands for which a transaction block should not be forced. Recognize
VACUUM and other PreventTransactionChain commands; handle nested /* .. */
comments correctly; handle multibyte encodings correctly.

conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.
discussions. Patch by Fabien Coelho and Tom Lane. Still needs to be
taught about multi-screen-column kanji characters; Tatsuo has promised
to provide the needed infrastructure for that.
little more sane. Some parts of the code was using a static function
xmalloc() that did safe memory allocation (where "safe" means "bail
out on OOM"), but most of it was just invoking calloc() or malloc()
directly. Now almost everything invokes xmalloc() or xcalloc().
source the \copy came from. Also, fix prompting logic so that initial
and per-line prompts appear for all cases of reading from an interactive
terminal. Patch by Mark Feit, with some kibitzing by Tom Lane.
client-side AUTOCOMMIT mode now: '\set AUTOCOMMIT off' supports
SQL-spec commit behavior. Get rid of LO_TRANSACTION hack --- the
LO operations just work now, using libpq's ability to track the
transaction status. Add a VERBOSE variable to control verboseness
of error message display, and add a %T prompt-string code to show
current transaction-block status. Superuser state display in the
prompt string correctly follows SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands.
Control-C works to get out of COPY IN state.
The output now validates as HTML 4.01 Strict, XHTML 1.0 strict,
and XHTML 1.1 (assuming you wrap it in a valid html/body document).
It also wraps the output of PGRES_COMMAND_OK if the HTML tag is on,
for full compliance: this is why html_escaped_print has to be
externalized.
