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.
The driver version is 07.01.0002 now.
1) initialized pg_version by DSN's protocol info
so that we could always use pg_version info
once a connection is established (pg_version()
didn't exist before 6.4). PROTOCOL_XX() macros
are removed(except from connection.[ch]).
2) provided a few macros to encapsulate connection's
version info and replaced existent comparison
stuff by those macros.
3) change SQLTables() so that 7.1 servers could show
views.
In addtion, the following patch from Dave Page is applied.
This patch fixes a bug in SQLGetInfo for SQL_DBMS_VER which corrupted the
driver version string. The driver version number has also been incremented
to 07.01.0002.

- Some minor additions to Statement to make our own extensions more
portable.
- Statement.close() will now call ResultSet.close() rather than just
dissasociating with it.
- Fixed bug where Statement.setMaxRows() was a global setting. Now
limited to just itself.
- Changed LargeObject.read(byte[],int,int) to return the actual number
of bytes read (used to be void).
- LargeObject now supports InputStream's!
- PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream() now works!
- ResultSet.getBinaryStream() now returns an InputStream that doesn't
copy the blob into memory first!
- Connection.isClosed() now tests to see if the connection is still alive
rather than if it thinks it's alive.
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.
I *think* this is what is on the "Open 7.1 Items" list as "Magnus Hagander

dialogue from '6.4/6.5' to '6.5+' and removes some C++ comments from
resource.h (which VC++ insists on putting there).
odbc2.diff adds code to query the PostgreSQL version upon connection. This
is then used to determine what values to return for from SQLGetInfo for
SQL_DBMS_VER, SQL_MAX_ROW_SIZE, SQL_MAX_STATEMENT_LEN, SQL_OJ_CAPABILITIES
and SQL_OUTER_JOINS. The version string as returned by SELECT vERSION() (as
a char array) and the major.minor version number (as a flost) have been
added to the ConnectionClass structure.

some more osteric bugs is easier. If only 1 arg is supplied and it's
of type Exception, then that Exception's stacktrace is now included.
This was done as there's been a report of an unusual bug during connection.
This will make this sort of bug hunting easier from now on.
problems with char array sizes having set a couple of constants to 0 for
unlimited query length and row length. This additional patch cleans those
problems up by defining a new constant (STD_STATEMENT_LEN) to 65536 and
using that in place of MAX_STATEMENT_LEN.
Another constant (MAX_MESSAGE_LEN) was defined as 2*BLCKSZ, but is now
65536. This is used to define the length of the message buffer in a number
of places and as I understand it (probably not that well!) therefore also
places a limit on the query length. Fixing this properly is beyond my
capabilities but 65536 should hopefully be large enough for most people.
Apologies for being over-enthusiastic and posting 3 patches in one day
rather than 1 better tested one!

Query used for checking foreign key triggers
returns too many results when there're more than one foreign
key in a table. It happens because only table's oid is used to
link between pg_trigger with INSERT check and pg_trigger with
UPDATE/DELETE check.
I think there should be enough to add following conditions
into WHERE clause of that query:
AND pt.tgconstrname = pg_trigger.tgconstrname
AND pt.tgconstrname = pg_trigger_1.tgconstrname

- Applied patch submitted by John Schutz <schutz@austin.rr.com> that
fixed a bug with ANT's SQL functions (not needed for building but nice
to have fixed).
- Added new error message into errors.properties "postgresql.notsensitive"
This is used by jdbc2.ResultSet when a method is called that should
fetch the current value of a row from the database refreshRow() for
example.
- These methods no longer throw the not implemented but the new noupdate
error. This is in preparation for the Updateable ResultSet support
which will overide these methods by extending the existing class to
implement that functionality, but needed to show something other than
notimplemented:
moveToCurrentRow()
moveToInsertRow()
rowDeleted()
rowInserted()
all update*() methods, except those that took the column as a String
as they were already implemented to convert the String to an int.
- getFetchDirection() and setFetchDirection() now throws
"postgresql.notimp" as we only support one direction.
The CursorResultSet will overide this when its implemented.
- Created a new class under jdbc2 UpdateableResultSet which extends
ResultSet and overides the relevent update methods.
This allows us to implement them easily at a later date.
- In jdbc2.Connection, the following methods are now implemented:
createStatement(type,concurrency);
getTypeMap();
setTypeMap(Map);
- The JDBC2 type mapping scheme almost complete, just needs SQLInput &
SQLOutput to be implemented.
- Removed some Statement methods that somehow appeared in Connection.
- In jdbc2.Statement()
getResultSetConcurrency()
getResultSetType()
setResultSetConcurrency()
setResultSetType()
- Finally removed the old 6.5.x driver.
- These methods in org.postgresql.jdbc2.ResultSet are now implemented:
getBigDecimal(int) ie: without a scale (why did this get missed?)
getBlob(int)
getCharacterStream(int)
getConcurrency()
getDate(int,Calendar)
getFetchDirection()
getFetchSize()
getTime(int,Calendar)
getTimestamp(int,Calendar)
getType()
NB: Where int represents the column name, the associated version
taking a String were already implemented by calling the int
version.
- These methods no longer throw the not implemented but the new noupdate
error. This is in preparation for the Updateable ResultSet support
which will overide these methods by extending the existing class to
implement that functionality, but needed to show something other than
notimplemented:
cancelRowUpdates()
deleteRow()
- Added new error message into errors.properties "postgresql.noupdate"
This is used by jdbc2.ResultSet when an update method is called and
the ResultSet is not updateable. A new method notUpdateable() has been
added to that class to throw this exception, keeping the binary size
down.
- Added new error message into errors.properties "postgresql.psqlnotimp"
This is used instead of unimplemented when it's a feature in the
backend that is preventing this method from being implemented.
- Removed getKeysetSize() as its not part of the ResultSet API
Thu Jan 18 09:46:00 GMT 2001 peter@retep.org.uk
- Applied modified patch from Richard Bullington-McGuire
<rbulling@microstate.com>. I had to modify it as some of the code
patched now exists in different classes, and some of it actually
patched obsolete code.
Wed Jan 17 10:19:00 GMT 2001 peter@retep.org.uk
- Updated Implementation to include both ANT & JBuilder
- Updated README to reflect the changes since 7.0
- Created jdbc.jpr file which allows JBuilder to be used to edit the
source. JBuilder _CAN_NOT_ be used to compile. You must use ANT for
that. It's only to allow JBuilders syntax checking to improve the
drivers source. Refer to Implementation for more details

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Attached is a set of patches for a couple of bugs dealing with
timestamps in JDBC.
Bug#1) Incorrect timestamp stored in DB if client timezone different
than DB.
timestamps in JDBC.
Bug#1) Incorrect timestamp stored in DB if client timezone different
than DB.
The buggy implementation of setTimestamp() in PreparedStatement simply
used the toString() method of the java.sql.Timestamp object to convert
to a string to send to the database. The format of this is yyyy-MM-dd
hh:mm:ss.SSS which doesn't include any timezone information. Therefore
the DB assumes its timezone since none is specified. That is OK if the
timezone of the client and server are the same, however if they are
different the wrong timestamp is received by the server. For example if
the client is running in timezone GMT and wants to send the timestamp
for noon to a server running in PST (GMT-8 hours), then the server will
receive 2000-01-12 12:00:00.0 and interprete it as 2000-01-12
12:00:00-08 which is 2000-01-12 04:00:00 in GMT. The fix is to send a
format to the server that includes the timezone offset. For simplicity
sake the fix uses a SimpleDateFormat object with its timezone set to GMT
so that '+00' can be used as the timezone for postgresql. This is done
as SimpleDateFormat doesn't support formating timezones in the way
postgresql expects.
Bug#2) Incorrect handling of partial seconds in getting timestamps from
the DB
When the SimpleDateFormat object parses a string with a format like
yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SS it expects the fractional seconds to be three
decimal places (time precision in java is miliseconds = three decimal
places). This seems like a bug in java to me, but it is unlikely to be
fixed anytime soon, so the postgresql code needed modification to
support the java behaviour. So for example a string of '2000-01-12
12:00:00.12-08' coming from the database was being converted to a
timestamp object with a value of 2000-01-12 12:00:00.012GMT-08:00. The
fix was to check for a '.' in the string and if one is found append on
an extra zero to the fractional seconds part.
Bug#3) Performance problems
In fixing the above two bugs, I noticed some things that could be
improved. In PreparedStatement.setTimestamp(),
PreparedStatement.setDate(), ResultSet.getTimestamp(), and
ResultSet.getDate() these methods were creating a new SimpleDateFormat
object everytime they were called. To avoid this unnecessary object
creation overhead, I changed the code to use static variables for
keeping a single instance of the needed formating objects.
Also the code used the + operator for string concatenation. As everyone
should know this is very inefficient and the use of StringBuffers is
prefered.
I also did some cleanup in ResultSet.getTimestamp(). This method has
had multiple patches applied some of which resulted in code that was no
longer needed. For example the ISO timestamp format that postgresql
uses specifies the timezone as an offset like '-08'. Code was added at
one point to convert the postgresql format to the java one which is
GMT-08:00, however the old code was left around which did nothing. So
there was code that looked for yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:sszzzzzzzzz and
yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:sszzz. This second format would never be encountered
because zzz (i.e. -08) would be converted into the former (also note
that the SimpleDateFormat object treats zzzzzzzzz and zzz the same, the
number of z's does not matter).
There was another problem/fix mentioned on the email lists today by
mcannon@internet.com which is also fixed by this patch:
Bug#4) Fractional seconds lost when getting timestamp from the DB
A patch by Jan Thomea handled the case of yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:sszzzzzzzzz
but not the fractional seconds version yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss.SSzzzzzzzzz.
The code is fixed to handle this case as well.

and revert documentation to describe the existing INHERITS clause
instead, per recent discussion in pghackers. Also fix implementation
of SQL_inheritance SET variable: it is not cool to look at this var
during the initial parsing phase, only during parse_analyze(). See
recent bug report concerning misinterpretation of date constants just
after a SET TIMEZONE command. gram.y really has to be an invariant
transformation of the query string to a raw parsetree; anything that
can vary with time must be done during parse analysis.
The leak is caused by the memory allocation in
src/interfaces/ecpg/lib/execute.c in line 669 which is never freed.
Adding a "free(array_query);" after PQexec in line 671 seems to fix the
leak.

drivers.
The first fix fixes the PreparedStatement object to not allocate
unnecessary objects when converting native types to Stings. The old
code used the following format:
(new Integer(x)).toString()
whereas this can more efficiently be occompilshed by:
Integer.toString(x);
avoiding the unnecessary object creation.
The second fix is to release some resources on the close() of a
ResultSet. Currently the close() method on ResultSet is a noop. The
purpose of the close() method is to release resources when the ResultSet
is no longer needed. The fix is to free the tuples cached by the
ResultSet when it is closed (by clearing out the Vector object that
stores the tuples). This is important for my application, as I have a
cache of Statement objects that I reuse. Since the Statement object
maintains a reference to the ResultSet and the ResultSet kept references
to the old tuples, my cache was holding on to a lot of memory.

If pghost == "" and pgport == "" then PQsetdbLogin() fails with a
error message:
Is the postmaster running locally
and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.0'?
I see many applications such as PHP fails due to this behavior.
Now if pgport == "", then it is assumed to be a DEF_PGPORT_STR. This
is the same behavior as the version prior 7.1.
added to support character set encodings. However I noticed that the
encoding that is used isn't obtained from the DB. Since Java uses
unicode UCS2 internally the character set encoding is used to translate
strings from/to the DB encoding. So it seems logical that the code
would get the encoding from the DB instead of the current method of
requiring the user pass it as a parameter.
Attached is a patch that gets the DB encoding from the DB in the same
manner as is done in libpq/fe-connect.c. The patch is created off of
the latest CVS sources (Connection.java version 1.10).

might change it. Experimentation shows that the signal handler call
mechanism does not save/restore errno for you, at least not on Linux
or HPUX, so this is definitely a real risk.
all forms of foreign keys be exposed to SQLForeignKeys. This patch is in

This form seemed to be the most portable, readable, and logical, but in any
case it's better than having a dozen different ones in the tree.
