For what it's worth, I found another case in libpq where you can get a T
message without a D that my utility patch needs to handle. I have
attached

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.

tion
working with postgresql-6.4.2 and KTH-KRB Ebones
(http://www.pdc.kth.se/kth-kr
b) on a dec alpha running DU 4.0D using the native compiler. The
following
patch does the trick.
The rationale behind this is as follows. The KTH-KRB code header files
defines
lots of lengths like INST_SZ,REALM_SZ and KRB_SENDAUTH_VLEN. It also has
a
habit of doing things like
chararray[LENGTH] = '\0'
to ensure null terminated strings. In my instance this just happens to
blat
the kerberos principal instance string leading to error like
pg_krb4_recvauth: kerberos error: Can't decode authenticator
(krb_rd_req
)
The application code that comes with KTH-KRB uses "KRB_SENDAUTH_VLEN +
1" and
sometimes uses "INST_SZ + 1" so it seems safest to put that 1 char
buffer in
the appropriate place.

All of them seem happy with the regression test. Note that, however,
compiling with optimization enabled on NetBSD/macppc causes an initdb
failure (other two platforms are ok). After checking the asm code, we
are suspecting that might be a compiler(egcs) bug.

Removed char16 and replaced with an example using Point
as suggested by Tom Lane. The dept field was changed to
the cubicle field denoting the row(x) and column(y) of
the employee's cube in the corporate jungle. The C function
builds a 'compromise' cubicle from two suggested ones.
I'll try and patchup the documentation next.

the handling of negative numbers and commas. The attached path attempts
to fix these.
However the getValue method does not yet insert commas into the
generated string.
Also in getValue there is an incorrect assumption that the currency
symbol is '$', it should of course be '£'!. I have no idea on how to go
about fixing this one.

I would like some feedback on what the hash function for the int8 hash
function
in the ./backend/access/hash/hashfunc.c should return.
Also, could someone (maybe Tomas Lockhart?) look-over the patch and make
sure
the system table entries are correct? I've tried to research them as
much as I
could, but some of them are still not clear to me.
Thanks,

been noticed if one invoked the functions by name rather than using
operator syntax. I guess few people do that.

_copyResult didn't copy subPlan structure completely. _copyAgg is still

No time to look at that tonight, however.

of MAXBACKENDS is now 1024, since all it's costing is about 32 bytes of memory
per array slot. configure's --with-maxbackends switch now controls DEF_MAXBACKENDS
which is simply the default value of the postmaster's -N switch. Thus,
the out-of-the-box configuration will still limit you to 64 backends,
but you can go up to 1024 backends simply by restarting the postmaster with
a different -N switch --- no rebuild required.
(--with-maxbackends). Add a postmaster switch (-N backends) that allows
the limit to be reduced at postmaster start time. (You can't increase it,
sorry to say, because there are still some fixed-size arrays.)
Grab the number of semaphores indicated by min(MAXBACKENDS, -N) at
postmaster startup, so that this particular form of bogus configuration
is exposed immediately rather than under heavy load.

for int8 support. configure now checks only snprintf() for int8 support,
not sprintf and sscanf as it used to. The reason for doing this is that
if we are supplying our own snprintf code (which does handle long long int),
we now only need working long long support in the compiler not in the
platform's C library. I have verified that int8 now passes regression test
on HPUX 9, and I think it should work on SunOS 4.1.* and other older
platforms if gcc is used.
I search in the planner for the '\xFF' appending.
Finally I found in MakeIndexable() in gram.y
Attach a patch which removes the "<=" test in USE_LOCALE,
might make some queries a bit slower for us "locale-heads",
BUT correct result is more important.
