the problem only manifests itself when adding years/months and hours
when the hours:minutes:seconds pushes over midnight.
Fix interpretation of times with explicit timezone when the timezone is
in daylight savings time and is not the default timezone.
Allow interpretation of explicit timezone when it is specified as two words:
<standard time> DST". For example, "MET DST" (Middle European Time Daylight
Savings Time). This syntax is found in the zic package on Linux boxes at least.
Subject: [PORTS] Patches for Irix 6.4
I have worked out how to compile PostgreSQL on Irix 6.4 using the -n32 compiler
mode and version 7.1 of the C compiler. (The n32 compiler use 32 bits
addressing,
but allows access to all the instructions in the MIPS4 instruction set.)
There were several problems:
1) The ld command is not referenced as a macro in all the Makefiles. On
this platform, you have to include -n32 on all the ld commands. Makefiles
were changed as needed.
3) Lots of warnings are generated from the compiler. Since the regression
tests worked OK, I didn't attempt to fix them. If anyone wants the compilation
log, please let me know, and I'll email it to you.
The version of postgresql was 970602. Here is Makefile.custom:
CUSTOM_COPT = -O2 -n32
MK_NO_LORDER = 1
LD = ld -n32
CC += -n32
Subject: [PATCHES] sequences display in psql
Well, I am away at Progress training (not Postgres!!) and desided to do
this patch during a break. This will allow listing of sequences in
addition to listing of tables and indicies:
\d would should indicies, tables, and sequences
\ds would show sequences only.
Subject: [PATCHES] DG/UX 5.4R11 patches
1) config.guess -- it doesn't understand that the new default
"TARGET_BINARY_INTERFACE" (m88kdgux) is now an ELF
format, not BCS.
Subject: [PATCHES] Patch for INSTAL file.
The following patch does the following:
- In step 6, recommend doing a database backup if you are upgrading
from any version of the release, rather than ones before a specific
date.
- Added step 22a on regular maintainence.
Subject: [PATCHES] psql and large objects fix
Psql was broken by using "Inv[0-9]+" instead of "xin[xv][0-9]+" to not
show large object files. Been this way for a long time too. Relic of
an older naming convention, perhaps?
Subject: [PATCHES] backend/lib/fstack.c
- The FixedStackIsValid so obviously needs to be a macro
- FixedStackContains only called if assert checking on
Subject: [PATCHES] More psql and libpq patches
Well..these would be the last patches until the release (I hope)...
I ran the regression tests while watching psql under purify, and it did
not leak even one byte.
In this patch:
* Plugged a major leak when PSQL reads files for input (either through
\i options or through -f option)
* Fixed the one remaining leak in PSQL in not clearing PGresult *results
everywhere it is supposed to. (Thanks Tymm)
* Fixed A small leak in PSQL not clearing all the PGsettings correctly.
* A not-so-obvious (but small) leak in Libpq when PQsetdb fails for any
reason.
* Added \n to some Libpq error messages to make them easier to digest..
* Finally, added /* PURIFY */ comment to some of the code indicating
the reason for why it was added/changed...for future developers.
Subject: [HACKERS] src.original/./backend/lib/fstack.c
Another change I suggested. I bracket an unused function and add a
return to quiet the compiler. In addition I added an internal
consistency check.
Subject: [HACKERS] backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_erx.c
I sent these changes in with a bunch of others. Some were folded in but
others, like these, were not. I am not sure why so I am resending this
to the developers list by itself for discussion.
The readon why I suggest these changes is that the compiler can't tell
that minimum_count is initialized before it is used. The tests that I
add in here will cause an immediate error if it doesn't. As the comments
below suggest, if it is 100% guaranteed that the variable will always
be initialized then how this is so should be commented here. I don't
know how much strain the actual test puts on the performance but if it
isn't too much then maybe leave it in for absolute safety anyway.
There are also a few returns just to stop warnings.
for join-relations. Sizes already computed by
prune_rel_paths():compute_joinrel_size().
joinrels.c:
< if ( _use_right_sided_plans_ )
---
> if ( _use_right_sided_plans_ &&
> length (outer_rel->relids) > 1 )
- r_plans are useful when outer_rel is join-relation... It
decreases the size of search space...
