the same tuple slot that the raw tuple came from, because that slot has
the wrong tuple descriptor. Store it into its own slot with the correct
descriptor, instead. This repairs problems with SPI functions seeing
inappropriate tuple descriptors --- for example, plpgsql code failing to
cope with SELECT FOR UPDATE.
in c.h we should be using the visible structure. We should only see
de-TOASTed values in this program. The old method refused to compile
because the length macro was no longer an lvalue.
Python) to support shared extension modules, I have learned that Guido
prefers the style of the attached patch to solve the above problem.
I feel that this solution is particularly appropriate in this case
because the following:
PglargeType
PgType
PgQueryType
are already being handled in the way that I am proposing for PgSourceType.

value of DESTDIR like the rest (or at least most) of the PostgreSQL
makefiles. I found this problem when trying to package a pre-built
Cygwin PostgreSQL distribution, but this problem is platform independent.
The problem manifests itself when one tries to install into a stagging
area (e.g., to build a tarball) instead of a real install. In this case,
pg.py and _pgmodule$(SO) still end up being installed in the configured
prefix directory ignoring the value of DESTDIR.
Unfortunately, this patch does not handle the case where PostgreSQL
and Python are configured with different prefixes. Since the Python
Makefile is automatically generated and does not use DESTDIR, I believe
that this issue will be difficult to correct. If anyone has ideas on
how to fix this issue, then I'm quite willing to rework the patch to
take the suggestion into account.

under Cygwin. The root cause of this problem is that (Sun) java is a
native Win32 app and hence does not understand Cygwin Posix style paths.
The solution is to use Cygwin's cygpath utility to convert the Posix style
JDBC installation directory path into a Win32 one before invoking ant.
I'm not sure if my patch is the best way to correct this issue but
my goal was to confine the Cygwin specific constructs to

it does not support 64bit integers. AFAIK that's the default data type for
OIDs, so I am not surprised that this does not work. Use gcc instead.
BTW., 7.1 does not compile as is with gcc either, I believed the
required patches made it into the 7.1.1 release but obviously I missed
the deadline.
Since the ports mailing list does not seem to be archived I have attached
a copy of the patch (for 7.1 and 7.1.1).
I've just performed a build of a Watcom compiled version and found a couple
of bugs in the watcom specific part of that patch. Please use the attached
version instead.

to do that, but inconsistently.) Make bit type reject too short input,
too, per SQL. Since it no longer zero pads, 'zpbit*' has been renamed to
'bit*' in the source, hence initdb.
- New functions to create a portal using a prepared/saved
SPI plan or lookup an existing portal by name.
- Functions to fetch/move from/in portals. Results are placed
in the usual SPI_processed and SPI_tuptable, so the entire
set of utility functions can be used to gain attribute access.
- Prepared/saved SPI plans now use their own memory context
and SPI_freeplan(plan) can remove them.
- Tuple result sets (SPI_tuptable) now uses it's own memory
context and can be free'd by SPI_freetuptable(tuptab).
Enhancement of PL/pgSQL
- Uses generic named portals internally in FOR ... SELECT
loops to avoid running out of memory on huge result sets.
- Support for CURSOR and REFCURSOR syntax using the new SPI
functionality. Cursors used internally only need no explicit
transaction block. Refcursor variables can be used inside
of explicit transaction block to pass cursors between main
application and functions.

create_index_paths are not immediately discarded, but are available for
subsequent planner work. This allows avoiding redundant syscache lookups
in several places. Change interface to operator selectivity estimation
procedures to allow faster and more flexible estimation.
Initdb forced due to change of pg_proc entries for selectivity functions!
