Bruce Momjian 0215dc9b0f Well, this patch makes Makefile for contrib/rserv use the
contrib/contrib-global.mk library and _generally_ behave like
   Makefiles for other contrib modules.
   Besides it fixes Perl's interpolation of $libdir variable, which
   should be passed to backend instead. This patch is done against
   PostgreSQL 7.3b2

   Besides, I want to thank Peter Eisentraut for his very friendly and
   helpful attitude and politely ask him to check whether contrib
   modules actually continue to work after he implements another
   major change to their build process.

Attached is a patch to fix the mb linking problems on AIX. As a nice side effect

it reduces the duplicate symbol warnings to linking libpq.so and libecpg.so
(all shlibs that are not postmaster loadable modules).

Please apply to current (only affects AIX).

The _LARGE_FILES problem is unfortunately still open, unless Peter
has fixed it per his recent idea.

Nah.  I don't think it's worth it: I had forgotten that older versions
should be supported.  I just left the code as is and added a
version-specific test.

This patch allows pg_dump to dump correctly local definition of columns.
In particular,

CREATE TABLE p1 (f1 int, f2 int);
CREATE TABLE p2 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE c () INHERITS (p1, p2);
ALTER TABLE ONLY p1 DROP COLUMN f1;
CREATE TABLE p3 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE c2 (f1 int) INHERITS (p3);

Will be dumped as
CREATE TABLE p1 (f2 int);
CREATE TABLE p2 (f1 int);
CREATE TABLE c (f1 int) INHERITS (p1, p2);
CREATE TABLE c2 (f1 int) INHERITS (p3);

(Previous version will dump
CREATE TABLE c () INHERITS (p1, p2)
CREATE TABLE c2 () INHERITS (p3) )

Tom Lane 3b8ba163d0 Tweak a few of the most heavily used function call points to zero out
just the significant fields of FunctionCallInfoData, rather than MemSet'ing
the whole struct to zero.  Unused positions in the arg[] array will
thereby contain garbage rather than zeroes.  This buys back some of the
performance hit from increasing FUNC_MAX_ARGS.  Also tweak tuplesort.c
code for more speed by marking some routines 'inline'.  All together
these changes speed up simple sorts, like count(distinct int4column),
by about 25% on a P4 running RH Linux 7.2.

Good point. Thank you Masaru for the suggested fix.

Attached is a patch to fix the bug found by Masaru. His example now
produces:

regression=# SELECT * FROM connectby('connectby_tree', 'keyid',
'parent_keyid', '11', 0, '-') AS t(keyid int, parent_keyid int, level
int,
branch text);
  keyid | parent_keyid | level |  branch

-------+--------------+-------+----------
     11 |              |     0 | 11
     10 |           11 |     1 | 11-10
    111 |           11 |     1 | 11-111
      1 |          111 |     2 | 11-111-1
(4 rows)

While making the patch I also realized that the "no show branch" form of
the  function was not going to work very well for recursion detection.
Therefore  there is now a default branch delimiter ('~') that is used
internally, for  that case, to enable recursion detection to work. If
you need a different  delimiter for your specific data, you will have to
use the "show branch" form  of the function.

Bruce Momjian a0bf2503ea The attached patch fixes a number of issues related to compiling the
client
utilities (libpq.dll and psql.exe) for win32 (missing defines,
adjustments to
includes, pedantic casting, non-existent functions) per:
   http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/install-win32.html.

It compiles cleanly under Windows 2000 using Visual Studio .net. Also
compiles clean and passes all regression tests (regular and contrib)
under Linux.

In addition to a review by the usual suspects, it would be very
desirable for  someone well versed in the peculiarities of win32 to take
a look.
