In linux.h there were some #undef HAVE_INT_TIMEZONE, which are useless
because HAVE_TM_ZONE overrides it anyway, and messing with configure
results isn't cool.
subqueries. It passes the normal 'runcheck' tests, and I've tried
a few simple things like
select 1 as foo union (((((select 2))))) order by foo;
There are a few things that it doesn't do that have been talked
about here at least a little:
1) It doesn't allow things like "IN(((select 1)))" -- the select
here has to be at the top level. This is not new.
2) It does NOT preserve the odd syntax I found when I started looking
at this, where a SELECT statement could begin with parentheses. Thus,
(SELECT a from foo) order by a;
fails.
I have preserved the ability, used in the regression tests, to
have a single select statement in what appears to be a RuleActionMulti
(but wasn't -- the parens were part of select_clause syntax).
In my version, this is a special form.
This may cause some discussion: I have differentiated the two kinds
of RuleActionMulti. Perhaps nobody knew there were two kinds, because
I don't think the second form appears in the regression tests. This
one uses square brackets instead of parentheses, but originally was
otherwise the same as the one in parentheses. In this version of
gram.y, the square bracket form treats SELECT statements the same
as the other allowed statements. As discussed before on this list,
psql cannot make sense out of the results of such a thing, but an
application might. And I have designs on just such an application.

disabled with --disable-rpath, since some binary packaging standards do not
like this option.

to be network part as major sort key, host part as minor sort key.
I did not force an initdb for this change, but anyone who's running
indexes on general INET values may need to recreate those indexes.
ExecutorRun. This allows LIMIT to work in a view. Also, LIMIT in a
cursor declaration will behave in a reasonable fashion, whereas before
it was overridden by the FETCH count.
MULTIBYTE support is not compiled (you just can't set them to anything

I modified the current ODBC driver for
* referential integrity error reporting,
* SELECT in transactions and
* disabling autocommit.
I tested these changes with Borland C++ Builder -> ODBCExpress ->
WinODBC driver (DLL) -> Postgres 7.0beta1 and Borland C++ Builder -> BDE ->
WinODBC driver (DLL) -> Postgres 7.0beta1. The patch is based on snapshot of
22th April (I don't think that someone has modified it since that: Byron
hasn't gave any sign of living for about a month and I didn't find any
comments about the ODBC driver on the list).
'AbortTransaction and not in in-progress state' when client disconnects

to worry about back-patching this into 7.0.* ...
