That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration,
some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of
options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste.
pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K,
-Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q).
Added to configure an --enable-syslog option.

>From the ORACLE 7 SQL Language Reference Manual:
-----------------------------------------------------
COMMENT
Purpose:
To add a comment about a table, view, snapshot, or
column into the data dictionary.
Prerequisites:
The table, view, or snapshot must be in your own
schema
or you must have COMMENT ANY TABLE system privilege.
Syntax:
COMMENT ON [ TABLE table ] |
[ COLUMN table.column] IS 'text'
You can effectively drop a comment from the database
by setting it to the empty string ''.
-----------------------------------------------------
Example:
COMMENT ON TABLE workorders IS
'Maintains base records for workorder information';
COMMENT ON COLUMN workorders.hours IS
'Number of hours the engineer worked on the task';
to drop a comment:
COMMENT ON COLUMN workorders.hours IS '';
The current patch will simply perform the insert into
pg_description, as per the TODO. And, of course, when
the table is dropped, any comments relating to it
or any of its attributes are also dropped. I haven't
looked at the ODBC source yet, but I do know from
an ODBC client standpoint that the standard does
support the notion of table and column comments.
Hopefully the ODBC driver is already fetching these
values from pg_description, but if not, it should be
trivial.
Hope this makes the grade,

functions. One problem that I have encountered with the function
manager is that it does not allow the user to define type conversion
functions that convert between user types. For instance if mytype1,
mytype2, and mytype3 are three Postgresql user types, and if I wish to
define Postgresql conversion functions like
I run into problems, because the Postgresql dynamic loader would look
for a single link symbol, mytype3, for both pieces of object code. If
I just change the name of one of the Postgresql functions (to make the
symbols distinct), the automatic type conversion that Postgresql uses,
for example, when matching operators to arguments no longer finds the
type conversion function.
The solution that I propose, and have implemented in the attatched
patch extends the CREATE FUNCTION syntax as follows. In the first case
above I use the link symbol mytype2_to_mytype3 for the link object
that implements the first conversion function, and define the
Postgresql operator with the following syntax
The patch includes changes to the parser to include the altered
syntax, changes to the ProcedureStmt node in nodes/parsenodes.h,
changes to commands/define.c to handle the extra information in the AS
clause, and changes to utils/fmgr/dfmgr.c that alter the way that the
dynamic loader figures out what link symbol to use. I store the
string for the link symbol in the prosrc text attribute of the pg_proc
table which is currently unused in rows that reference dynamically
loaded
functions.

1. The UnixWare tas macro was reformatted (by indent or it like?) which caused
it to break. The asm macro construct is very particular about the %mem
construct -- it has to start in column 1.
2. When compiling libpq++, g++ was used even if configure found the C++ com-
piler to be CC.
3. When compiling libpq++, '-Wno-error' was added to CXXFLAGS, even if the
compiler wasn't g++.

no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;
Everyone using an [NOT] EXISTS subquery will have noticed that
already.
The bug is in "subselect.c" in the function "SS_process_sublinks()".
Here the whole function as it *SHOULD BE*:

1. Remove the char2, char4, char8 and char16 types from postgresql
2. Change references of char16 to name in the regression tests.
3. Rename the char16.sql regression test to name.sql. 4. Modify
the regression test scripts and outputs to match up.
Might require new regression.{SYSTEM} files...
