1. Make 'all' works without complaint. Don't have to add the .exp
files to the files list. They are made automagically when
making the respective shared lib file.
Only port that actually uses EXPSUFF (from makefiles/Makefile.*)
is Aix, so if this breaks anybody else, let me know, asap.
2. Make 'clean' actually cleans up correctly. Previously, it would
leave the .o files in C-code directory.
3. Changed references to reflect new location of .c files.
4. Added DELETE statements to complex.source so that it tidies up
when done. Previously, it would leave things in pg_amop,
pg_amproc and pg_opclass. Only possible to do this with the
new SUBSELECT code in 6.3. Nice work, fellas...
Not deleting the index entries would cause a non-fatal error if
complex.sql was run again on the same database. Much tidier now.
5. Corrected the README. obj directory hasn't existed since Bryan
redid the make way back when. Also changed the snipet from psql
to match the current version. POSTGRES95?!? I don't think so. :)
The following patches will allow postgreSQL 6.3 to compile and run on a
UNIXWARE 2.1.2 system with the native C compiler with the following library
change:
The alloca function must be copied from the libucb.a archive and added
to the libgen.a archive.
Also, the GNU flex program is needed to successfully build postgreSQL.
Seem to remember someone posting to one of the lists a while back
that the tutorial code wouldn't compile and/or run. Found four
problems with it that will let it run.
1. Tutorial makefile had a recursive use of DLOBJS.
2. Some tutorial needed semi-colons added to many statements.
3. Complex tutorial didn't clean up after itself.
4. Advanced had a time-travel example. Commented it out and
put a line pointing the user to contrib/spi/README.
Two incorrect printf formats in parser/parse_type.c. Prolly done
by me a long time ago when I cleaned up int's and Oid's...
Format flag is really just %u, not %ud. Harmless, but results in
"type id lookup of 25d failed" instead of only "...25 failed"
This patch will...
1. Remove the "-Wall" option from the ecpg/lib and ecpg/preproc Makefile.
2. Remove the addition of $(SRCDIR)/include and-or $(SRCDIR)/backend from
ecpg/lib, ecpg/preproc, libpq and utils Makefiles. Already in CFLAGS...
3. Set MK_NO_LORDER and RANLIB in Makefile.aix to avoid a couple of extra
steps taken care of by the 'ld' command anyways.
I thought it would be a good idea to ensure that the new view
permission model will not get broken by subsequent
fixes/changes. So I wrote a little regression test for it.
There is an ugly thing in this regression test. It creates
temporary a test user that is required for the tests. The
user is removed at the end of the test, but if sometimes the
regression suite is aborted or crashes exactly here, the test
user will lay around in the pg_shadow. Don't have a clue how
to get around.
return, not a slot returned from access method (they have
different TupleDesc and MergeJoin node was broken).
nodeIndexscan.c: index_markpos()/index_restrpos() call index-specific
mark/restr funcs and are in use now (instead of
IndexScanMarkPosition()/ExecIndexRestrPos()).
seems that my last post didn't make it through. That's good
since the diff itself didn't covered the renaming of
pg_user.h to pg_shadow.h and it's new content.
Here it's again. The complete regression test passwd with
only some float diffs. createuser and destroyuser work.
pg_shadow cannot be read by ordinary user.

What it does:
It solves stupid problem with cyrillic charsets IP-based on-fly recoding.
take a look at /data/charset.conf for details.
You can use any tables for any charset.
Tables are from Russian Apache project.
Tables in this patch contains also Ukrainian characters.
Then run ./configure --enable-recode
Ok. I have decided to use:
#if defined(sun) && if defined(sparc) && !defined(__svr4)
instead of defined(sunos4). interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h and
include/c.h have been modified(see included patches).
Another porblems I have found are:
o SunOS lacks strtoul(). to fix this I stole strtoul.c from FreeBSD
and place it under backend/port. necessary modifications have been
also made to backend/port/Makefile.in, include/config.h.in and
configure.in (see included patches).
So if the relname is given to acldefault() in
utils/adt/acl.c, it can do a IsSystemRelationName() on it and
return ACL_RD instead of ACL_WORLD_DEFAULT.
The diff looks so simple and easy. But to find it wasn't fun.
It must have been there for a long time. What happened:
When a tuple in one of some central catalogs was updated, the
referenced relation got flushed, so it would be reopened on
the next access (to reflect new triggers, rules and table
structure changes into the relation cache).
Some data (the tupleDescriptor e.g.) is used in the system
cache too. So when a relation is subject to the system cache,
this must know too that a cached system relation got flushed
because the tupleDesc data gets freed during the flush!
For the GRANT/REVOKE on pg_class it was slightly different.
There is some local data in inval.c that gets initialized on
the first invalidation of a tuple in some central catalogs.
This needs a SysCache lookup in pg_class. But when the first
of all commands is a GRANT on pg_class, exactly the needed
tuple is the one actually invalidated. So I added little code
snippets that the initialization of the local variables in
inval.c will already happen during InitPostgres().
Enclosed is the regression.diffs file from running the Feb 21st
snapshot regression tests for inclusion in src/test/regression
as regression.Aix41. Appears to be standard differences to me,
error messages, fp accuracy and times off by an hour due to PST
vs PDT.
#define TAPETEMP "pg_btsortXXXXXX"

#define TAPETEMP "pg_btsortXXXXXXX"
For some reason, under FreeBSD, it appears that the mktemp() value needs the
extra 'X' to improve/ensure uniqueness
below is the patch to have views to override the permission
checks for the accessed tables. Now we can do the following:
CREATE VIEW db_user AS SELECT
usename,
usesysid,
usecreatedb,
usetrace,
usecatupd,
'**********'::text as passwd,
valuntil
FROM pg_user;
REVOKE ALL ON pg_user FROM public;
REVOKE ALL ON db_user FROM public;
GRANT SELECT ON db_user TO public;
any other, example program.

From: Ryan Kirkpatrick <rkirkpat@nag.cs.colorado.edu>
The file 'backend/utils/adt/arrayfuncs.c' won't compile with the
February 14th snapshot, because of an inconsistency between the
declaration and implementation of ReadArrayStr(). As far as I can
tell, the predeclaration is wrong. I assume this is what was meant:
just a little correction in the pltcl_guide.nr.
Sometimes I changed the name of tuple arguments to numbers
like the other args are. Otherwise it wasn't possible to
create a function as
CREATE FUNCTION f (EMP, EMP) ... LANGUAGE 'pltcl';
The arguments are now accessed in the function as
$1(name) vs. $2(name)
Only occurrs in
src/include/storage/s_lock.h:#if defined(__AIX)
src/include/utils/dt.h:#if defined(__AIX)
src/include/utils/nabstime.h:#if defined(__AIX)
Simply delete one underscore, only occurs once per file, so no patch.
Someone changed the parser to build a TypeName node on CREATE
FUNCTION in any case. As a side effect, ALL! functions
created got the proretset attribute to true. Thus for a
SELECT the parser wrapped an Iter node around the Expr and
since singleton functions set isDone the Iter returns no
tuple up.
Apart from this Makefile hack, all I've done is to make dynamically
loaded code modules fail properly (as was already done for __mips__,
although I think this is too loose: I believe NetBSD for the pmax can
do dynamic linking), and to add test-and-set lock handling. As Bruce
suggested, this is done in a maximally efficient inlined way: I was
not aware that this code was so important, speed-wise.

A few minutes ago I sent down the PL/Tcl directory to this

Use explicit tokens to decode CREATE TRIGGER clauses.
Allow ROW and STATEMENT as column identifiers.
Fix CAST syntax to require parens per SQL92 spec.
Define TypeId to allow correct translation of type names in CREATE FUNCTION
and other statements. Need to do this without looking up defined type
names because CREATE FUNCTION can specify undefined (new) types.
Define UserId to complete removal of "Id" generic entity.
Define xlateSqlFunc() to convert SQL92 CHARACTER_LENGTH() and CHAR_LENGTH()
functions to calls to length().
Define func_name parser entity for contexts requiring a function name.
Have xlateSqlType() translate "float" to "float8".
This patch fixes the following:
* Fixes minor bug found in DatabaseMetaData.getTables() where it doesn't
handle default table types.
* It now reports an error if the client opens a database using
properties, and either the user or password properties are missing. This
should make the recent problem with Servlets easier to find.
* Commented out obsolete property in Driver.getPropertyInfo()
Well this is not really a patch. But I mananged to get Linus' old Postgres95
precompiler to compile and work with PostgreSQL. The next step would be to
collect bug/missing feature reports and to put it into the distribution so
that it is made with the standard make procedure.
Warning! So far it is not tested much and it does not install correctly. But
I was able to create a small binary with it.

Repair lseg_perp() which determines if two lsegs are perpendicular.
Repair lseg_dt() distance between two lsegs.

[This is a repost - it supercedes the previous one. It fixes the patch so
it doesn't bread aix port, plus there's a file missing out of the

This patch brings the JDBC driver up to the current protocol spec.
Basically, the backend now tells the driver what authentication scheme to
use.
The patch also fixes a performance problem with large objects. In the
buffer manager, each fastpath call was sending multiple Notifications to
the backend (sometimes more data in the form of notifications were being
sent than blob data!).
if an operating specific expected file exists, use that for the comparison.
This allows for "legit" differences between results, like the "Result too
large" message vs "Math result not representable" ...
Also, have the failed diffs get output to regression.diffs so that its easy to
view those tests that failed
I haven't had final confirmation from Peter yet, but the attached patch
needs to be applied for the Beta otherwise password and crypt
authentication just won't work.
It puts back the loop in libpq and also fixes a couple of problems with
maintaining compatability with pre-6.3 drivers.

Attached is the patch to fix the warning messages from my code. I also
fixed one which wasn't my code. Apart from the usual warnings about the
bison/yacc generated code I only have one other warning message. This
is in gramm.y around line 2234. I wasn't sure of the fix.
I've also replaced all the calls to free() in gramm.y to calls to
pfree(). Without these I was getting backend crashes with GRANT. This
might already have been fixed.
