1da2feea83 Previous patch backed out.
Here is a patch against CVS (without my earlier patch)
to disallow

LOCK x

if x is a view.

It does not use the SPI interface.

dffd8cac3d * to_char:
- full support for IW (ISO week) and vice versa conversion for IW too
    (the to_char 'week' support is now complete and I hope correct).

  Thomas, I use for IW code from timestamp.c, for this I create separate
  function date2isoweek() from original 'case DTK_WEEK:' code in the
  timestamp_part(). I mean will better use one code for same feature in
  date_part() and in to_char(). The isoweek2date() is added to timestamp.c
  too. Right?

  IMHO in 7.1 will all to_char's features complete. It is cca 41 templates
  for date/time and cca 21 for numbers.

 * to_ascii:

   - gcc, is it correct now? :-)


  In the patch is documentation for to_char's IW and for to_ascii().

c51041f4ba Here is a patch against the same cvs tree as the SSL patch (Aug 20).
I hope I didn't mess the SGML up too bad, but somebody should definitly
look that over. I tried to steal as much as I could from around :-)

This patch updates:
* Installation instructions (paragraph on how to compile with openssl)
* Documentation of pg_hba.conf (added "hostssl" record docs)
* Libpq documentation (added connection option, documentation of
  PQgetssl() function)
* Add section on SSL to "Server Runtime Environment"

If you beleive any particular area needs more attention, please let me know.

9314141116 Add pg-config utility that stores some configuration parameters other
packages can use to configure their build.

E.g.,
$ pg-config --libdir
/usr/local/pgsql/lib

`pg-config --configure' stores the configure command line.

996832caee Make the location of the Kerberos server key file run time configurable
(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()
if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system.

A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there
is one.

e67ff6b670 fmgr interface mopup work. Use new DatumGetBool and BoolGetDatum
macros where appropriate (the code used to have several different ways
of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...).  Remove last few
references to float32 and float64 typedefs --- it's all float4/float8
now.  The typedefs themselves should probably stay in c.h for a release
or two, though, to avoid breaking user-written C functions.

9426047021 Clean up bogosities in use of random(3) and srandom(3) --- do not assume
that RAND_MAX applies to them, since it doesn't.  Instead add a
config.h parameter MAX_RANDOM_VALUE.  This is currently set at 2^31-1
but could be auto-configured if that ever proves necessary.  Also fix
some outright bugs like calling srand() where srandom() is appropriate.

d06ebdb8d3 Update aggregate-function docs for STDDEV, VARIANCE. 2000-07-17 03:52:28 +00:00
Tom Lane
bec98a31c5 Revise aggregate functions per earlier discussions in pghackers.
There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner.  Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.

Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default.  Unrelated
change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...

74618e2b82 Another round of those unportable config/build changes :-/
* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
  bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
  useful is left as an exercise.

* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
  all the other libraries are checked for.

* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.

* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
  Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
  anymore.

* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.

* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.

* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
  separately.

* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.

* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
  don't add it on in Makefile.global.

* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.

... and in completely unrelated news:

* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
  save the environment as well.
