Negotiation failure is only likely to happen if one side or the other is
misconfigured, eg. bad client certificate. I'm not 100% convinced that
a retry is really the best thing, hence not back-patching this fix for now.
Per gripe from Sergio Cinos.
which turns out to be a dominant part of the runtime in scenarios
involving lots of parse-time warnings (such as Stephen Frost's example
of an INSERT with a lot of backslash-containing strings). There's not
a whole lot we can do about the character-at-a-time scanning, but we
can at least avoid traversing the query twice.
return true for exactly the characters treated as whitespace by their flex

Also fix a passel of unsafe usages of <ctype.h> functions, that is, ye olde

able to stop using it.
an earlier discussion. Centralize assumptions about what libpq depends
on in one place in Makefile.global. I am unconvinced that this list
is complete, but since ecpg seems to have gotten along with just these
entries, we'll try it this way and see what happens.
cascaded first to days and only what is leftover into seconds. This
seems to satisfy the principle of least surprise given the general
conversion to three-part interval values --- it was an oversight that
these cases weren't dealt with in 8.1. Michael Glaesemann
builds all the files needed for its regression tests, but the tests
themselves fail because of diffs in the #line directives output by
ecpg itself. Not sure what to do about that.
Fixed broken newline on Windows.
Fixed a nasty buffer underrun that only occured when using Informix

fe-auth.c:573: warning: passing argument 1 of 'free' discards qualifiers
from pointer target type
pg_krb5_authname used to return a (const char *) to memory allocated by
krb. Somewhere along the lines this was changed so that a copy was
made, returned, and freed instead. However the const modifier was never
removed.

libpq/md5.h, so that there's a clear separation between backend-only
definitions and shared frontend/backend definitions. (Turns out this
is reversing a bad decision from some years ago...) Fix up references
to crypt.h as needed. I looked into moving the code into src/port, but
the headers in src/include/libpq are sufficiently intertwined that it
seems more work than it's worth to do that.
the lower-level large object functions fails, it will have already set
a suitable error message --- probably something from the backend ---
and it is not useful to overwrite that with a generic 'error while
reading large object' message. So remove redundant messages.
o remove many WIN32_CLIENT_ONLY defines
o add WIN32_ONLY_COMPILER define
o add 3rd argument to open() for portability
o add include/port/win32_msvc directory for

and standard_conforming_strings; likewise for the other client programs
that need it. As per previous discussion, a pg_dump dump now conforms
to the standard_conforming_strings setting of the source database.
We don't use E'' syntax in the dump, thereby improving portability of
the SQL. I added a SET escape_strings_warning = off command to keep
the dumps from getting a lot of back-chatter from that.
Per Coverity bug #304. Thanks to Martijn van Oosterhout for reporting it.
Zero out the pointer fields of PGresult so that these mistakes are more
easily catched, per discussion.
'off'. This allows pg_dump output with standard_conforming_strings =
'on' to generate proper strings that can be loaded into other databases
without the backslash doubling we typically do. I have added the
dumping of the standard_conforming_strings value to pg_dump.
I also added standard backslash handling for plpgsql.
and standard_conforming_strings. The encoding changes are needed for proper
escaping in multibyte encodings, as per the SQL-injection vulnerabilities
noted in CVE-2006-2313 and CVE-2006-2314. Concurrent fixes are being applied
to the server to ensure that it rejects queries that may have been corrupted
by attempted SQL injection, but this merely guarantees that unpatched clients
will fail rather than allow injection. An actual fix requires changing the
client-side code. While at it we have also fixed these routines to understand
about standard_conforming_strings, so that the upcoming changeover to SQL-spec
string syntax can be somewhat transparent to client code.
Since the existing API of PQescapeString and PQescapeBytea provides no way to
inform them which settings are in use, these functions are now deprecated in
favor of new functions PQescapeStringConn and PQescapeByteaConn. The new
functions take the PGconn to which the string will be sent as an additional
parameter, and look inside the connection structure to determine what to do.
So as to provide some functionality for clients using the old functions,
libpq stores the latest encoding and standard_conforming_strings values
received from the backend in static variables, and the old functions consult
these variables. This will work reliably in clients using only one Postgres
connection at a time, or even multiple connections if they all use the same
encoding and string syntax settings; which should cover many practical
scenarios.
Clients that use homebrew escaping methods, such as PHP's addslashes()
function or even hardwired regexp substitution, will require extra effort
to fix :-(. It is strongly recommended that such code be replaced by use of
PQescapeStringConn/PQescapeByteaConn if at all feasible.
throw warnings for 100%-SQL-standard constructs, clean up some minor
infelicities, try to un-break ecpg to the best of my ability. (It's not clear
how ecpg is going to find out the setting of standard_conforming_strings,
though.) I think pg_dump still needs work, too.
be exported on Linux and Darwin. We already did this on Windows but
that's not enough, as evidenced by the fact that libecpg had an unexpected
dependency on one such symbol. We should try to do it on more platforms.
Fix ecpg's oversight, and bump libpq's major .so version number to reflect
the unwanted but nonetheless real ABI break.
