(respectively) to rename yylex and related symbols. Some were doing
it this way already, while others used not-too-reliable sed hacks in
the Makefiles. It's all nice and consistent now.
1) rank_cd now use weight of lexemes
2) rank_cd and rank can use any combination of normalization methods:
no normalization
normalization by log(length of document)
-----/------- by length of document
-----/------- by number of unique word in document
-----/------- by log(number of unique word in document)
-----/------- by number of covers (only rank_cd)
Improve cover's search.

are unnecessarily allocated on the heap rather than the stack. If the
StringInfo doesn't outlive the stack frame in which it is created,
there is no need to allocate it on the heap via makeStringInfo() --
stack allocation is faster. While it's not a big deal unless the
code is in a critical path, I don't see a reason not to save a few
cycles -- using stack allocation is not less readable.
I also cleaned up a bit of code along the way: moved variable
declarations into a more tightly-enclosing scope where possible,
fixed some pointless copying of strings in dblink, etc.
more compliant with the error message style guide. In particular,
errdetail should begin with a capital letter and end with a period,
whereas errmsg should not. I also fixed a few related issues in
passing, such as fixing the repeated misspelling of "lexeme" in
contrib/tsearch2 (per Tom's suggestion).
pgcrypto crypt()/md5 and hmac() leak memory when compiled against
OpenSSL as openssl.c digest ->reset will do two DigestInit calls
against a context. This happened to work with OpenSSL 0.9.6
but not with 0.9.7+.
Reason for the messy code was that I tried to avoid creating
wrapper structure to transport algorithm info and tried to use
OpenSSL context for it. The fix is to create wrapper structure.
It also uses newer digest API to avoid memory allocations
on reset with newer OpenSSLs.
Thanks to Daniel Blaisdell for reporting it.
sorry but fix can't be applyed to previous version: it's require
refill tsvector...
2 Small optimize of load time for huge dictionaries
3 use palloc instead of malloc during load dict file
singlebyte encodings, so we should have snowball for every encodings.
I hope that finalize multibyte support work in tsearch2, but testing is needed...
sizebitvec of tsearch2, as well as identical code in several other
contrib modules. This provided about a 20X speedup in building a
large tsearch2 index ... didn't try to measure its effects for other
operations. Thanks to Stephan Vollmer for providing a test case.
the data defining the semantics of a lock method (ie, conflict resolution
table and ancillary data, which is all constant) and the hash tables
storing the current state. The only thing we give up by this is the
ability to use separate hashtables for different lock methods, but there
is no need for that anyway. Put some extra fields into the LockMethod
definition structs to clean up some other uglinesses, like hard-wired
tests for DEFAULT_LOCKMETHOD and USER_LOCKMETHOD. This commit doesn't
do anything about the performance issues we were discussing, but it clears
away some of the underbrush that's in the way of fixing that.
support for the dbf2pg contrib module.
The submitter created a patch which replaces the silent ignoring of -F
(when iconv support is disabled) with a meaningful warning.

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.
- supports multibyte encodings
- more strict rules for lexemes
- flex isn't used
Add:
- tsquery plainto_tsquery(text)
Function makes tsquery from plain text.
- &&, ||, !! operation for tsquery for combining
tsquery from it's parts: 'foo & bar' || 'asd' => 'foo & bar | asd'
functionality, but I still need to make another pass looking at places
that incidentally use arrays (such as ACL manipulation) to make sure they
are null-safe. Contrib needs work too.
I have not changed the behaviors that are still under discussion about
array comparison and what to do with lower bounds.
1 Comparison operation for tsquery
2 Btree index on tsquery
3 numnode(tsquery) - returns 'length' of tsquery
4 tsquery @ tsquery, tsquery ~ tsquery - contains, contained for tsquery.
Note: They don't gurantee exact result, only MAY BE, so it
useful only for speed up rewrite functions
5 GiST index support for @,~
6 rewrite():
select rewrite(orig, what, to);
select rewrite(ARRAY[orig, what, to]) from tsquery_table;
select rewrite(orig, 'select what, to from tsquery_table;');
7 significantly improve cover algorithm
if there isn't one already open. Upon dblink_close, only commit
the open transaction if it was started by dblink_open, and only
then when all cursors opened by dblink_open are closed. The transaction
accounting is done individually for all named connections, plus
the persistent unnamed connection.
pointers, to ensure that compilers won't rearrange accesses to occur
while we're not holding the buffer header spinlock. It's probably
not necessary to mark volatile in every single place in bufmgr.c,
but better safe than sorry. Per trouble report from Kevin Grittner.
like '23:59:60' because of fractional-second roundoff problems. Trying
to control this upstream of the actual display code was hopeless; the right
way is to explicitly round fractional seconds in the display code and then
refigure the results if the fraction rounds up to 1. Per bug #1927.
Remove unportable use of tfind/tsearch in favor of bsearch. Fix up
random number generator to use random() not rand() and to actually honor
its min/max arguments properly. That wasn't so important before, but
with exposure of capability to ask for general ranges, it will be.
argument as a 'regclass' value instead of a text string. The frontend
conversion of text string to pg_class OID is now encapsulated as an
implicitly-invocable coercion from text to regclass. This provides
backwards compatibility to the old behavior when the sequence argument
is explicitly typed as 'text'. When the argument is just an unadorned
literal string, it will be taken as 'regclass', which means that the
stored representation will be an OID. This solves longstanding problems
with renaming sequences that are referenced in default expressions, as
well as new-in-8.1 problems with renaming such sequences' schemas or
moving them to another schema. All per recent discussion.
Along the way, fix some rather serious problems in dbmirror's support
for mirroring sequence operations (int4 vs int8 confusion for instance).
a few typos in comments.
The dictionaries I checked list "altho" as a variant of "although,"
but I didn't find any other instances of the former in the source
tree so I changed it.

the pubkey functions a bit. The actual RSA-specific code
there is tiny, most of the patch consists of reorg of the
pubkey code, as lots of it was written as elgamal-only.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The SHLIB section was copy-pasted from somewhere and contains
several unnecessary libs. This cleans it up a bit.
-lcrypt
we don't use system crypt()
-lssl, -lssleay32
no SSL here
-lz in win32 section
already added on previous line
-ldes
The chance anybody has it is pretty low.
And the chance pgcrypto works with it is even lower.
Also trim the win32 section.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
It is already disabled in Makefile, remove code too.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was bit hasty making the random exponent 'k' a prime. Further researh
shows that Elgamal encryption has no specific needs in respect to k,
any random number is fine.
It is bit different for signing, there it needs to be 'relatively prime'
to p - 1, that means GCD(k, p-1) == 1, which is also a lot lighter than
full primality. As we don't do signing, this can be ignored.
This brings major speedup to Elgamal encryption.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
o pgp_mpi_free: Accept NULLs
o pgp_mpi_cksum: result should be 16bit
o Remove function name from error messages - to be similar to other
SQL functions, and it does not match anyway the called function
o remove couple junk lines
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Support for RSA encryption
o Big reorg to better separate generic and algorithm-specific code.
o Regression tests for RSA.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
o Tom stuck a CVS id into file. I doubt the usefulness of it,
but if it needs to be in the file then rather at the end.
Also tag it as comment for asciidoc.
o Mention bytea vs. text difference
o Couple clarifications
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is a choice whether to update it with pgp functions or
remove it. I decided to remove it, updating is pointless.
I've tried to keep the core of pgcrypto relatively independent
from main PostgreSQL, to make it easy to use externally if needed,
and that is good. Eg. that made development of PGP functions much
nicer.
But I have no plans to release it as generic library, so keeping such
doc
up-to-date is waste of time. If anyone is interested in using it in
other products, he can probably bother to read the source too.
Commented source is another thing - I'll try to make another pass
over code to see if there is anything non-obvious that would need
more comments.
