about certain to fail anytime it decided the relation to be hashed was
too big to fit in memory --- the code for 'batching' a series of hashjoins
had multiple errors. I've fixed the easier problems. A remaining big
problem is that you can get 'hashtable out of memory' if the code's
guesstimate about how much overflow space it will need turns out wrong.
That will require much more extensive revisions to fix, so I'm committing
these fixes now before I start on that problem.
arrayfuncs.patch fixes a small bug in my previous patches for

been applied. The patches are in the .tar.gz attachment at the end:
varchar-array.patch this patch adds support for arrays of bpchar() and
varchar(), which where always missing from postgres.
These datatypes can be used to replace the _char4,
_char8, etc., which were dropped some time ago.
block-size.patch this patch fixes many errors in the parser and other
program which happen with very large query statements
(> 8K) when using a page size larger than 8192.
This patch is needed if you want to submit queries
larger than 8K. Postgres supports tuples up to 32K
but you can't insert them because you can't submit
queries larger than 8K. My patch fixes this problem.
The patch also replaces all the occurrences of `8192'
and `1<<13' in the sources with the proper constants
defined in include files. You should now never find
8192 hardwired in C code, just to make code clearer.

to save a little bit of backend startup time. This way, the first
backend started after a VACUUM will rebuild the init file with up-to-date
statistics for the critical system indexes.
the database encoding and the client encoding match the encoding expected
by the test. So, force both of them to be set from the MULTIBYTE
environment var. This allows regress tests to be run successfully in
multibyte environments other than the compiled-in default.

MyProcPid global variable is set to 0 when postgres starts as a command

not the process itself. As a result, parent sh gets core dumped in the
Wisconsin benchmark test.
- change temp -> temp_bench ("temp" is now a reserved word)
- fix bugs in queries
- add -B 256 option to run the postgres command

Also made the same fix to int8smaller(), though there wasn't a symptom,
and went through and verified that other pass-by-reference data types
do the same thing. Not an issue for the by-value types.
relation, rather than zeroes. This prevents the optimizer from making
foolish choices (ie, using nested-loop plans) on never-yet-vacuumed tables.
This is a hack, of course. Keeping accurate track of these statistics
would be a cleaner solution, but it's far from clear that it'd be worth
the cost of doing so. In any case we're not going to do that for 6.5.
In the meantime, this quick hack provides a useful performance improvement
in the regression tests and in many real-world scenarios.

ordering clauses --- we may need some more. But this takes care of the
diffs between my platform and Jan's.

time zone.
Previously, localtime() rotated a date with a day of month field which
exceeded the actual range into the next months, masking the fact that
a bad date had been specified.
Regression tests pass.
Previously, dates falling within Unix system time range were run through
a call to localtime() to get the time zone, if it was not specified.
This had the effect that dates with DOMs which were larger than would be
valid for that month were "rotated" into the following months.

necessary in order to ensure that a pg_dump dump of user-defined operators

provoking a 'Buffer Leak' notice message in one case. See my mail to
pgsql-hackers.

multiple aliases of a built-in to all be implemented as direct builtins,
without needing a level of indirection through an SQL function. Replace
existing SQL alias functions with builtin entries accordingly.
Save a few K by not storing string names of builtin functions in fmgr's

Worked around it by rearranging the order of inclusions so that we don't
have to explicitly declare yytext; this should work with either variant.

For what it's worth, I found another case in libpq where you can get a T

results in a bogus datetime value under AlphaLinux. (Note that
the link to submit a port-specific bug on your website is broken)
-Test Case:
----------
testdb=> create table dttest (dt datetime);
testdb=> insert into dttest values ('now');
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
---------
The basic problem is the typedefs of AbsoluteTime and RelativeTime,
which are both 'int32'. These types appear to be used synonymously
with the 'time_t' type, which on AlphaLinux is typedef'd as a 'long
int', which is 64-bits (not 32). The solution included here fixes
the datetime type (it now passes the regression test), but does not
pass the absolute and relative time regression tests. Presumably, a
more thorough investigation of how these types are used is warranted.
The included patch is from the v6.3.2 source, but can be applied to
the v6.4.2 source. Please note that there is also a RedHat-specific
patch distributed with the PostgreSQL source package from RedHat
that was applied first.
