by making the static variables extra_before and extra_after
automatic so we can use recursion.
It gets much easier to generate extra commands now, and one can rest
assured that the extra commands will be properly analyzed/rewritten.
Without this patch, if a command produced by transformation tries to
use these static lists their first contents would be lost with
unpredictable results. I know I could fix this by just using nconc()
instead of assignments, but the resulting order of the commands would
not be exactly what one could expect.

hashname() and reduce the penalty incured when NAMEDATALEN is increased.
I posted this to -hackers a couple days ago, and there haven't been any
major complaints. It passes the regression tests. See -hackers for more
discussion, as well as the suggestion from Tom Lane on which this patch
is based.
Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for 7.3.
Cheers,

DATABASE; also make it use SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands rather than
\connect commands. This makes it possible to restore databases belonging
to users who do not have CREATEDB privilege. It should also become at
least somewhat feasible to run the restore script under password
authentication --- you'll get one superuser password prompt per database,
rather than a large number of challenges for passwords belonging to
varying unspecified user names.
The attached patch enables plperl to build under Cygwin. It is
basically yet another BE_DLLLIBS patch with a perl MakeMaker twist. I
tried the patch under Red Hat 7.1 Linux too and I did not observe any
ill effects.

patch is low risc, thus could be applied now, but can also wait for 7.3
Old Makefile shows, that -bnoentry is available since 4.1 .

getColumnClassName(int) is not implemented. This will futher fixes method
ResultSet.getObject(int) since it requires the getColumnClassName(int) method to return the proper java class used to map the database column.

Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is
safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic
set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache
indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting
out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction
commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off
relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed.
Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index
tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache
index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during
relcache load.
Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi,
move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly
ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows
simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache
and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c
when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and
does not need any expensive initialization.
Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan
(this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).
the first call of localtime() in a process will read /usr/lib/tztab or
local equivalent. Better to do this once in the postmaster and inherit
the data by fork() than to have to do it during every backend start.
1) Handle parameter array.
2) Allow re-use of the connection handle after SQLDisconnect.
3) Reject NULL if no indicator specified.
4) Improve the handling of '_' in table name.
5) Unify internal begin/commit/abort operations.
6) Change SQLTables() to return null not "" for the
table_owner.
7) Fix a bug about parameter handling reported by Benoit Menendez.
8) Add cast in handling ODBC date/time escape sequences.
9) Fix a bug about cache_size handing in declare/fetch mode.
[ODBC3.0 related]
10) Improve the handling of descriptor handles(ODBC3.0).
11) Improve the type handling of some types for ODBC3.0.
[Thanks to Marcelo Aceto for his useful patches]
12) Allow nested ODBC escape.
13) Allow changing autocommit on/off inside the transaction
block.
14) Improve the handling of ODBC scalar functions.
originally created with, so that the set of visible tuples does not
change as a result of other activity. This essentially makes PG cursors
INSENSITIVE per the SQL92 definition. See bug report of 13-Feb-02.
This restores the Linux behavior to what it was in PG 7.0 and 7.1, and
causes other platforms to agree. (Other well-tested platforms like HPUX
were doing it this way already.) Per pghackers discussion over the past
month or so.
(backslash-r, backslash-n) for protection against newline-conversion
munging. In future we will also tweak COPY FROM, but this part of the
change should be backwards-compatible. Per pghackers discussion.
Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
more completely and accurately.
of pointers is required. Patch from Teodor Sigaev per pghackers
discussion. It's an ugly kluge but avoids forcing initdb; we'll put
a better fix into 7.3 or later.
inner indexscan (ie, one with runtime keys). ExecIndexReScan must
compute or recompute runtime keys even if we are rescanning in the
EPQ case. TidScan seems to have comparable problems. Per bug
noted by Barry Lind 11-Feb-02.
the individual privilege bits. I regard this as an important change for
cross-version compatibility: without this, a 7.1 dump loaded into 7.2
is likely to be short a few privileges.
removes any empty chunks, the chunk previously added won't be there
anymore, so it's possible there is zero free space in the rel's page list
afterwards. Must loop back and rerun the part that adds a chunk to
the list.
compile in client apps that use the standard installed header set.
To allow removing that include, move DLLIMPORT definitions out of c.h
and into the appropriate port-specific header files.
mess up after an aborted VACUUM FULL, per today's pghackers discussion.
Add a suitable HeapTupleSatisfiesToast routine. Remove useless special-
case test in HeapTupleSatisfiesVisibility macro for xmax =
BootstrapTransactionId; perhaps that was needed at one time, but it's
a waste of cycles now, not to mention actively wrong for SnapshotAny.
Along the way, add some much-needed comments to tqual.c, and simplify
toast_fetch_datum, which no longer needs to assume it may see chunks
out-of-order.
This saves one open file descriptor per backend, and avoids an
annoying NOTICE on Cygwin (which has trouble deleting open files).
Bug appears to date back to original coding of init_irels, circa 1992.
to prevent spreading of corruption when page header pointers are bad.
Merge PageZero into PageInit, since it was never used separately, and
remove separate memset calls used at most other PageInit call points.
Remove IndexPageCleanup, which wasn't used at all.
per my proposal of a couple days ago. This will eliminate the unable-
to-restart-database class of problem that we have seen reported half a
dozen times with 7.1.*.
