o Change all current CVS messages of NOTICE to WARNING. We were going
to do this just before 7.3 beta but it has to be done now, as you will
see below.
o Change current INFO messages that should be controlled by
client_min_messages to NOTICE.
o Force remaining INFO messages, like from EXPLAIN, VACUUM VERBOSE, etc.
to always go to the client.
o Remove INFO from the client_min_messages options and add NOTICE.
Seems we do need three non-ERROR elog levels to handle the various
behaviors we need for these messages.
Regression passed.
now just below FATAL in server_min_messages. Added more text to
highlight ordering difference between it and client_min_messages.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REALLYFATAL => PANIC
STOP => PANIC
New INFO level the prints to client by default
New LOG level the prints to server log by default
Cause VACUUM information to print only to the client
NOTICE => INFO where purely information messages are sent
DEBUG => LOG for purely server status messages
DEBUG removed, kept as backward compatible
DEBUG5, DEBUG4, DEBUG3, DEBUG2, DEBUG1 added
DebugLvl removed in favor of new DEBUG[1-5] symbols
New server_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, LOG, FATAL, PANIC
New client_min_messages GUC parameter with values:
DEBUG[5-1], LOG, INFO, NOTICE, ERROR, FATAL, PANIC
Server startup now logged with LOG instead of DEBUG
Remove debug_level GUC parameter
elog() numbers now start at 10
Add test to print error message if older elog() values are passed to elog()
Bootstrap mode now has a -d that requires an argument, like postmaster
names. This is a temporary measure to allow backwards compatibility with
7.2 and earlier pg_dump. 7.2.1 and later pg_dump will double-quote mixed
case names in \connect. Once we feel that older dumps are not a problem
anymore, we can revert this change and treat \connect arguments as normal
SQL identifiers.

We have enough copies of this code that I'm thinking it ought to be
moved into libpq, but that's a task for another day.

---------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I should have sent the patch earlier, but got delayed by other stuff.
Anyway, here is the patch:
- most of the functionality is only activated when MULTIBYTE is
defined,
- check valid UTF-8 characters, client-side only yet, and only on
output, you still can send invalid UTF-8 to the server (so, it's
only partly compliant to Unicode 3.1, but that's better than
nothing).
- formats with the correct number of columns (that's why I made it in
the first place after all), but only for UNICODE. However, the code
allows to plug-in routines for other encodings, as Tatsuo did for
the other multibyte functions.
- corrects a bit the UTF-8 code from Tatsuo to allow Unicode 3.1
characters (characters with values >= 0x10000, which are encoded on
four bytes).
- doesn't depend on the locale capabilities of the glibc (useful for
remote telnet).
I would like somebody to check it closely, as it is my first patch to
pgsql. Also, I created dummy .orig files, so that the two files I
created are included, I hope that's the right way.
Now, a lot of functionality is NOT included here, but I will keep that
for 7.3 :) That includes all string checking on the server side (which
will have to be a bit more optimised ;) ), and the input checking on
the client side for UTF-8, though that should not be difficult. It's
just to send the strings through mbvalidate() before sending them to
the server. Strong checking on UTF-8 strings is mandatory to be
compliant with Unicode 3.1+ .
Do I have time to look for a patch to include iso-8859-15 for 7.2 ?
The euro is coming 1. january 2002 (before 7.3 !) and over 280
millions people in Europe will need the euro sign and only iso-8859-15
and iso-8859-16 have it (and unfortunately, I don't think all Unices
will switch to Unicode in the meantime)....
err... yes, I know that this is not every single person in Europe that
uses PostgreSql, so it's not exactly 280m, but it's just a matter of
time ! ;)
I'll come back (on pgsql-hackers) later to ask a few questions
regarding the full unicode support (normalisation, collation,
regexes,...) on the server side :)
Here is the patch !

Yeah, I agree. Looks like a simple change in dbconnect():
/*
* Use old password if no new one given (if you didn't have an old
* one, fine)
*/
if (!pwparam && oldconn)
pwparam = PQpass(oldconn);
to
/*
* Use old password (if any) if no new one given and we are
* reconnecting as same user
*/
if (!pwparam && oldconn && PQuser(oldconn) && userparam &&
strcmp(PQuser(oldconn), userparam) == 0)
pwparam = PQpass(oldconn);

on words as opposed to lines, which means that all of the
following work in psql:
\d foo \d bar
\d foo; \d bar
\d foo \d bar;;
\d foo; <space>
This one also uses "true and false" and strips semicolons
for the following backslash commands: \C \c \d \e \i \o \s \z

pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.
Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.

Some interesting side effects: TOAST pointers are 20 bytes not 32 now;
pg_description has a three-column key instead of one.
Bugs fixed in passing: BINARY cursors work again; pg_class.relhaspkey
has some usefulness; pg_dump dumps comments on indexes, rules, and
triggers in a valid order.

TIOCGWINSZ is defined as follows:
Linux asm/ioctls.h
FreeBSD sys/ttycom.h. This file is included by sys/ioctl.h.
Solaris sys/termios.h
This patch tells print.c to know TIOCGWINSZ on Solaris platform. Same code is
founded in src/bin/psal/common.c.

when built against readline 4.2. Specifically, it handles the deprecation
of
filename_completion_function()
with preference for
rl_filename_completion_function()
Although, I was motivated by Cygwin support, IMO this patch is appropriate
for all platforms. To quote from the readline source:
#if 0
/* Backwards compatibility (compat.c). These will go away sometime. */
...
extern READLINE_EXPORT(char, *filename_completion_function) ...
#endif
Note that this patch is modeled after the one by Peter Eisentraut for
completion_matches():
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/readline42.html
I tested this patch under the following environments:
Cygwin with readline 4.1
Cygwin with readline 4.2
Linux with readline 2.2.1
Linux with readline 4.2
and it behaved as expected.

Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.
psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided. In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.

still looking at the best way to integrate Tom Vijlbrief's fixes
(insofar as they're still needed); would 7.2 be a suitable time for
incompatible API changes?

Changes:
(*) Introduced bool, true, false (replacing some int, 1, 0)
(*) Made some member functions const
(*) Documented GetIsNull()
(*) Marked DisplayTuples() and PrintTuples() as obsolescent; fixed possible
portability problem (assumed that NULL pointer equals all-zero bit pattern)
(*) PrintTuples(): renamed width parameter to fillAlign to conform with other
usage; fixed memory leak and compile issue w.r.t. field separator (should
also slightly improve performance)
(*) Fixed some minor compilation issues
(*) Moved "using namespace std;" out of headers, where they didn't belong; used
new (temporary) preprocessor macro PGSTD to do this
(*) Made ToString() static, removed unneeded memset(), made buffer size adapt
to sizeof(int)
(*) Made some constructors explicit
(*) Changed some const std::string & parameters to plain std::string
(*) Marked PgCursor::Cursor(std::string) as obsolescent (setter with same name
as getter--bad style)
(*) Renamed some paramaters previously named "string"
(*) Introduced size_type typedef for number of tuples in result set
(*) PgTransaction now supports re-opening after closing, and aborts if not
explicitly committed prior to destruction

only if at least N other backends currently have open transactions. This
is not a great deal of intelligence about whether a delay might be
profitable ... but it beats no intelligence at all. Note that the default
COMMIT_DELAY is still zero --- this new code does nothing unless that
setting is changed.
Also, mark ENABLEFSYNC as a system-wide setting. It's no longer safe to
allow that to be set per-backend, since we may be relying on some other
backend's fsync to have synced the WAL log.
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
and two 'win32.mak'. Addresses the following:
1) Oops. Spelled fcntl.h wrong in the last one. D'uh.
2) PG_VERSION changed to be defined with " around it. psql/command.c failed
to compile without that.
3) Changed makefiles to use "/MD" and link both psql and libpq.dll against
MSVCRT.DLL instead of a static library. This takes care of the
crash-upon-free in psql.

and psql) again. Changes are:
1) psql requires the includes of "io.h" and "fcntl.h" in command.c in order
to make a call to open() work (io.h for _open(), fcntl.h for the O_xxx)
2) PG_VERSION is no longer defined in version.h[.in], but in configure.in.
Since we don't do configure on native win32, we need to put it in
config.h.win32 :-(
3) Added define of SYSCONFDIR to config.h.win32 - libpq won't compile
without it. This functionality is *NOT* tested - it's just defined as "" for
now. May work, may not.
4) DEF_PGPORT renamed to DEF_PGPORT_STR
I have done the "basic tests" on it - it connects to a database, and I can
run queries. Haven't tested any of the fancier functions (yet).
However, I stepped on a much bigger problem when fixing psql to work. It no
longer works when linked against the .DLL version of libpq (which the
Makefile does for it). I have left it linked against this version anyway,
pending the comments I get on this mail :-)
The problem is that there are strings being allocated from libpq.dll using
PQExpBuffers (for example, initPQExpBuffer() on line 92 of input.c). These
are being allocated using the malloc function used by libpq.dll. This
function *may* be different from the malloc function used by psql.exe - only
the resulting pointer must be valid. And with the default linking methods,
it *WILL* be different. Later, psql.exe tries to free() this string, at
which point it crashes because the free() function can't find the allocated
block (it's on the allocated blocks list used by the runtime lib of
libpq.dll).
Shouldn't the right thing to do be to have psql call termPQExpBuffer() on
the data instead? As it is now, gets_fromFile() will just return the pointer
received from the PQExpBuffer.data (this may well be present at several
places - this is the one I was bitten by so far). Isn't that kind of
"accessing the internals of the PQExpBuffer structure" wrong? Instead,
perhaps it shuold make a copy of the string, adn then termPQExpBuffer() it?
In that case, the string will have been allocated from within the same
library as the free() is called.
I can get it to work just fine by doing this - changing from (around line
100 of input.c):
and the same a bit further down in the same function.
But, as I said above, this may be at more places in the code? Perhaps
someone more familiar to it could comment on that?
What do you think shuld be done about this? Personally, I go by the "If you
allocate a piece of memory using an interface, use the same interface to
free it", but the question is how to make it work :-)
Also, AFAIK this only affects psql.exe, so the changes made to the libpq
this patch are required no matter how the other issue is handled.
Regards,
Magnus
