Subject: [PATCHES] pg_dump memory leak patch
This patch fixes a HUGE memory leak problem in pg_dump.
Pretty much anything that was allocated was never freed and Purify
reported about 40% possible memory leak and 6% actual leak. I added
functions to clear out all the allocated structures. After the patch
Purify returns 0 for number of bytes leaked...
Subject: [PATCHES] Three small patches.
Hi,
Here are 3 small patches to the postgreSQL source sup'd on
the 6th May 1997.
The 1st 2 fix the shell backslash "c" handling used to suppress
the newline on some unix shells. (The \c needs to be inside quote.)
The 3rd may or may not be the correct way to fix the missing
define of INDEX_MAX_KEYS in pg_dump.h
It adds a WITH OIDS option to the copy command, which allows
dumping and loading of oids.
If a copy command tried to load in an oid that is greater than
its current system max oid, the system max oid is incremented. No
checking is done to see if other backends are running and have cached
oids.
pg_dump as its first step when using the -o (oid) option, will
copy in a dummy row to set the system max oid value so as rows are
loaded in, they are certain to be lower than the system oid.
pg_dump now creates indexes at the end to speed loading
