"bad smell" in that code. Stuff like function parameters that aren't
used, typos in the comments, comparison between signed and unsigned
ints, etc.
Attached is a pretty trivial patch; it compiles, but beyond that
completely untested. Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for
7.3.

queries over non-blocking connections with libpq. "Larger" here
basically means that it doesn't fit into the output buffer.
The basic strategy is to fix pqFlush and pqPutBytes.
The problem with pqFlush as it stands now is that it returns EOF when an
error occurs or when not all data could be sent. The latter case is
clearly not an error for a non-blocking connection but the caller can't
distringuish it from an error very well.
The first part of the fix is therefore to fix pqFlush. This is done by
to renaming it to pqSendSome which only differs from pqFlush in its
return values to allow the caller to make the above distinction and a
new pqFlush which is implemented in terms of pqSendSome and behaves
exactly like the old pqFlush.
The second part of the fix modifies pqPutBytes to use pqSendSome instead
of pqFlush and to either send all the data or if not all data can be
sent on a non-blocking connection to at least put all data into the
output buffer, enlarging it if necessary. The callers of pqPutBytes
don't have to be changed because from their point of view pqPutBytes
behaves like before. It either succeeds in queueing all output data or
fails with an error.
I've also added a new API function PQsendSome which analogously to
PQflush just calls pqSendSome. Programs using non-blocking queries
should use this new function. The main difference is that this function
will have to be called repeatedly (calling select() properly in between)
until all data has been written.
AFAICT, the code in CVS HEAD hasn't changed with respect to non-blocking
queries and this fix should work there, too, but I haven't tested that
yet.

three-or-more-way UNIONs, as per example from Josh Berkus. Cause is a
fragile assumption that one tlist's entries will exactly match another.
Restructure code to make that assumption a little less fragile.
An attached patch corrects problem of this bug and fractional second.
The handling of time zone was as follows:
(a) with time zone
using SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z")
(b) without time zone
using SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")
About problem of fractional second,
Fractional second was changed from milli-second to nano-second

timestamp/timestamptz combo. Now extract/date_part returns
seconds*1000 or 1000000 + fraction part as the manual stats.

when to send what to which, prevent recursion by introducing new COMMERROR
elog level for client-communication problems, get rid of direct writes
to stderr in backend/libpq files, prevent non-error elogs from going to
client during the authentication cycle.
speed up repetitive failed searches; per pghackers discussion in late
January. inval.c logic substantially simplified, since we can now treat
inserts and deletes alike as far as inval events are concerned. Some
repair work needed in heap_create_with_catalog, which turns out to have
been doing CommandCounterIncrement at a point where the new relation has
non-self-consistent catalog entries. With the new inval code, that
resulted in assert failures during a relcache entry rebuild.
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
both input streams to the end. If one variable's range is much less

of the other table. Per example from Reinhard Max.
before reporting command-complete message for the final command of a
query string. This way, any errors detected during finish_xact_command
(such as RI violations) will appear to be part of the final command,
rather than coming out after the command is reported complete. This
avoids confusing PQendcopy and other not-overly-bright clients.
Per Lee Harr's bug report of 25-Feb-02.

been renamed, and seems rather pointless in any case.
Also improve a couple of error messages about inconsistencies.
are now both invoked once per received SQL command (raw parsetree) from
pg_exec_query_string. BeginCommand is actually just an empty routine
at the moment --- all its former operations have been pushed into tuple
receiver setup routines in printtup.c. This makes for a clean distinction
between BeginCommand/EndCommand (once per command) and the tuple receiver
setup/teardown routines (once per ExecutorRun call), whereas the old code
was quite ad hoc. Along the way, clean up the calling conventions for
ExecutorRun a little bit.

Also ensure that this report comes from the 'original' command, not the
last command generated by rewrite; this fixes 7.2 breakage for INSERT
commands that have actions added by rules. Fernando Nasser and Tom Lane.
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.

by making the static variables extra_before and extra_after
automatic so we can use recursion.
It gets much easier to generate extra commands now, and one can rest
assured that the extra commands will be properly analyzed/rewritten.
Without this patch, if a command produced by transformation tries to
use these static lists their first contents would be lost with
unpredictable results. I know I could fix this by just using nconc()
instead of assignments, but the resulting order of the commands would
not be exactly what one could expect.

hashname() and reduce the penalty incured when NAMEDATALEN is increased.
I posted this to -hackers a couple days ago, and there haven't been any
major complaints. It passes the regression tests. See -hackers for more
discussion, as well as the suggestion from Tom Lane on which this patch
is based.
Unless anyone sees any problems, please apply for 7.3.

DATABASE; also make it use SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION commands rather than
\connect commands. This makes it possible to restore databases belonging
to users who do not have CREATEDB privilege. It should also become at
least somewhat feasible to run the restore script under password
authentication --- you'll get one superuser password prompt per database,
rather than a large number of challenges for passwords belonging to
varying unspecified user names.
The attached patch enables plperl to build under Cygwin. It is
basically yet another BE_DLLLIBS patch with a perl MakeMaker twist. I
tried the patch under Red Hat 7.1 Linux too and I did not observe any
ill effects.

Improve 'pg_internal.init' relcache entry preload mechanism so that it is
safe to use for all system catalogs, and arrange to preload a realistic
set of system-catalog entries instead of only the three nailed-in-cache
indexes that were formerly loaded this way. Fix mechanism for deleting
out-of-date pg_internal.init files: this must be synchronized with transaction
commit, not just done at random times within transactions. Drive it off
relcache invalidation mechanism so that no special-case tests are needed.
Cache additional information in relcache entries for indexes (their pg_index
tuples and index-operator OIDs) to eliminate repeated lookups. Also cache
index opclass info at the per-opclass level to avoid repeated lookups during
relcache load.
Generalize 'systable scan' utilities originally developed by Hiroshi,
move them into genam.c, use in a number of places where there was formerly
ugly code for choosing either heap or index scan. In particular this allows
simplification of the logic that prevents infinite recursion between syscache
and relcache during startup: we can easily switch to heapscans in relcache.c
when and where needed to avoid recursion, so IndexScanOK becomes simpler and
does not need any expensive initialization.
Eliminate useless opening of a heapscan data structure while doing an indexscan
(this saves an mdnblocks call and thus at least one kernel call).
the first call of localtime() in a process will read /usr/lib/tztab or
local equivalent. Better to do this once in the postmaster and inherit
the data by fork() than to have to do it during every backend start.

INSENSITIVE per the SQL92 definition. See bug report of 13-Feb-02.
This restores the Linux behavior to what it was in PG 7.0 and 7.1, and
causes other platforms to agree. (Other well-tested platforms like HPUX
were doing it this way already.) Per pghackers discussion over the past
month or so.

Also, update COPY reference page to describe the backslash conversions
