64-bit integer storage format case, which was wrong.
Problem introduced recently when the 64-bit storage format was
implemented.
having names conflicting with system objects will work --- the search
path is now user-schema, pg_catalog rather than implicitly the other way
around. Note this requires being careful to explicitly qualify references
to system names whenever pg_catalog is not first in the search path.
Also, add support for dumping ACLs of schemas.
where the latter is made slightly larger to allow for in-memory tuples
containing resjunk attributes. Responds to today's complaint that one
cannot UPDATE a table containing the allegedly-legal maximum number of
columns.
Also, apply Manfred Koizar's recent patch to avoid extra alignment padding
when there is a null bitmap. This saves bytes in some cases while not
creating any backward-compatibility problem AFAICS.
transaction, so as to avoid returning them out of the index AM. Saves
repeated heap_fetch operations on frequently-updated rows. Also detect
queries on unique keys (equality to all columns of a unique index), and
don't bother continuing scan once we have found first match.
Killing is implemented in the btree and hash AMs, but not yet in rtree
or gist, because there isn't an equally convenient place to do it in
those AMs (the outer amgetnext routine can't do it without re-pinning
the index page).
Did some small cleanup on APIs of HeapTupleSatisfies, heap_fetch, and
index_insert to make this a little easier.

Make sure export file, if any, is cleaned.
Tcl configuration is now read directly in configure and recorded in
Makefile.global. This eliminates some duplicate efforts and allows
for easier hand-editing of the results, if necessary.
exemplified by bug #671. Moving the storage to relcache turned out to
be a bad idea because relcache might decide to discard the info. Instead,
open and close the relcache entry on each sequence operation, and use
a record of the current XID to discover whether we already hold
AccessShareLock on the sequence.
function body (and other properties) as a function in the language
is created. This generalizes ad hoc code that already existed for
the built-in languages.
The validation now happens after the pg_proc tuple of the new function
is created, so it is possible to define recursive SQL functions.
Add some regression test cases that cover bogus function definition
attempts.

in snapshots, per my proposal of a few days ago. Also, tweak heapam.c
routines (heap_insert, heap_update, heap_delete, heap_mark4update) to
be passed the command ID to use, instead of doing GetCurrentCommandID.
For catalog updates they'll still get passed current command ID, but
for updates generated from the main executor they'll get passed the
command ID saved in the snapshot the query is using. This should fix
some corner cases associated with functions and triggers that advance
current command ID while an outer query is still in progress.
yesterday's proposal to pghackers. Also remove unnecessary parameters
to heap_beginscan, heap_rescan. I modified pg_proc.h to reflect the
new numbers of parameters for the AM interface routines, but did not
force an initdb because nothing actually looks at those fields.
process function RTE expressions, which they were previously missing.
This allows outer-Var references and subselects to work correctly in
the arguments of a function RTE. Install check to prevent function RTEs
from cross-referencing Vars of sibling FROM-items, which doesn't make
any sense (if you want to join, write a JOIN or WHERE clause).
rather than a Query node; this allows set_plan_references to recurse
into subplans correctly. Fixes core dump on full outer joins in
subplans. Also, invoke preprocess_expression on function RTEs'
function expressions. This seems to fix the planner's problems with
outer-level Vars in function RTEs.
allows the example in the CREATE SCHEMA ref page to actually work now.
Also, clean up when the transaction that initially creates a temp-table
namespace is later aborted. Simplify internal representation of search
path by folding special cases into the main list.
GUC support. It's now possible to set datestyle, timezone, and
client_encoding from postgresql.conf and per-database or per-user
settings. Also, implement rollback of SET commands that occur in a
transaction that later fails. Create a SET LOCAL var = value syntax
that sets the variable only for the duration of the current transaction.
All per previous discussions in pghackers.

more reliable tests for expressions returning sets in the planner and

relax SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION to allow specifying one's own username
even if one is not superuser, so as to avoid unnecessary error messages

several months ago.
As proof of concept, provide an alternate implementation based on POSIX
semaphores. Also push the SysV shared-memory implementation into a
separate file so that it can be replaced conveniently.

all of which were slated for destruction several versions back anyway.

their own copies of the keyword strings. This saves a few kilobytes and
more importantly eliminates an opportunity for cut-and-paste errors.

Also, error messages concerning bitstring literals and suchlike will
quote the source text at you, not the processed internal form of the literal.
lists to join RTEs, attach a list of Vars and COALESCE expressions that will
replace the join's alias variables during planning. This simplifies
flatten_join_alias_vars while still making it easy to fix up varno references
when transforming the query tree. Add regression test cases for interactions
of subqueries with outer joins.
pg_database, pg_shadow, pg_group, all of which now have potentially-long

rels are now identified in their include/pg_catalog/*.h files by a
BKI_SHARED_RELATION macro, while indexes and toast rels inherit sharedness
automatically from their parent table. Fix some bugs with failure to detoast
pg_group.grolist during ALTER GROUP.

Apparently, you need to make two calls to appendPQExpBuffer() to

work on all win9x machines, so i made it go thru a l ookup table
instead, using the DLL as last resort. I also moved this out of the
fe-misc.c file because of the size of the lookup ta ble. Who knows, we
might add more other win32 specific code there in the future.
I also fixed a small typo in the pg_config.h.win32 that made the
compiler compla in about the gnu snprintf declaration.
I tried to make this patch with psql coding style. I've successfully
tested this on win2k and win98 and it works fine (i.e. the mes sage
shows on win98 too, it didn't with the old implementation).

looking for places that assume UNKNOWN == TEXT. One of those was the
"SET" type in pg_type.h, which was using textin/textout. This one I took
care of in this patch. The other suspicious place was in
string_to_dataum (which is defined in both selfuncs.c and indxpath.c). I
wasn't too sure about those, so I left them be.
Joe Conway
Slackware 8), and perhaps on other Pythons, haven't checked. Something in
the _pg.connect() call isn't working. I think the problem stems from the
fact that 'host' is a named parameter of both _pg.connect and pgdb.connect,
and so Python treats it as a variable assignment, not a named parameter.
Uses non-named parameters.

I miss that case :-(. Here is the pached patch.
...
Here is a patch which addresses Tatsuo's concerns (it does return an
static struct instead of constructing it).
These were for cases protected by elog(ERROR) exits, but may as well
keep the compiler happy. Not sure why they don't show up on my gcc-2.96.x
version of the compiler.
Use "--enable-integer-datetimes" in configuration to use this rather
than the original float8 storage. I would recommend the integer-based
storage for any platform on which it is available. We perhaps should
make this the default for the production release.
Change timezone(timestamptz) results to return timestamp rather than
a character string. Formerly, we didn't have a way to represent
timestamps with an explicit time zone other than freezing the info into
a string. Now, we can reasonably omit the explicit time zone from the
result and return a timestamp with values appropriate for the specified
time zone. Much cleaner, and if you need the time zone in the result
you can put it into a character string pretty easily anyway.
Allow fractional seconds in date/time types even for dates prior to 1BC.
Limit timestamp data types to 6 decimal places of precision. Just right
for a micro-second storage of int8 date/time types, and reduces the
number of places ad-hoc rounding was occuring for the float8-based types.
Use lookup tables for precision/rounding calculations for timestamp and
interval types. Formerly used pow() to calculate the desired value but
with a more limited range there is no reason to not type in a lookup
table. Should be *much* better performance, though formerly there were
some optimizations to help minimize the number of times pow() was called.
Define a HAVE_INT64_TIMESTAMP variable. Based on the configure option
"--enable-integer-datetimes" and the existing internal INT64_IS_BUSTED.
Add explicit date/interval operators and functions for addition and
subtraction. Formerly relied on implicit type promotion from date to
timestamp with time zone.
Change timezone conversion functions for the timetz type from "timetz()"
to "timezone()". This is consistant with other time zone coersion
functions for other types.
Bump the catalog version to 200204201.
Fix up regression tests to reflect changes in fractional seconds
representation for date/times in BC eras.
All regression tests pass on my Linux box.
This is a big change from past behavior, but the last release was
designed to handle this correctly for dump/restore upgrades.
Fix up handling of SET value arguments. Allow lists for most options at
least at the parser level; multiple values may be rejected at the
command processor of course.
Allow more variations on values for SET commands, including integer and
float values where formerly stringy fields were required.
Check precision specification for date/time fields against the true
precision range allowed by the data types. Especially useful with the
new int8-based storage for these types, where precision is fixed and
predictable.
Stub out a basic CREATE ASSERTION per SQL9x. Does not do anything (yet) but
should be augmented as appropriate.
Minor fixups in braces and tabbing.
most required a stringy syntax in the parser; now integers and floats
can (or should) be handled. There is at least one cheesy error message
mentioning sending mail to me if there are problems; should be changed
prior to release.
Allow lists of values from the parser in more cases. If multiple arguments
were not allowed previously, they probably are not allowed now, but at
least the data structures being passed around are more consistant across
more cases.
compiled for integer date/time storage and to check the length of
storage for the locale fields in the same data structure.
Slightly reword some of the error messages to be more accurate on
possible recovery options (e.g. recompile *or* re-initdb).
Bump version number on this file.
different privilege bits (might as well make use of the space we were
wasting on padding). EXECUTE and USAGE bits for procedures, languages
now are separate privileges instead of being overlaid on SELECT. Add
privileges for namespaces and databases. The GRANT and REVOKE commands
work for these object types, but we don't actually enforce the privileges
yet...
Use flex flags -CF. Pass the to-be-scanned string around as StringInfo
type, to avoid querying the length repeatedly. Clean up some code and
remove lex-compatibility cruft. Escape backslash sequences inline. Use
flex-provided yy_scan_buffer() function to set up input, rather than using
myinput().
(tgrelid, tgname). This provides an additional check on trigger name
uniqueness per-table (which was already enforced by the code anyway).
With this change, RelationBuildTriggers will read the triggers in
order by tgname, since it's scanning using this index. Since a
predictable trigger ordering has been requested for some time, document
this behavior as a feature. Also document that rules fire in name
order, since yesterday's changes to pg_rewrite indexing cause that too.
DROP RULE and COMMENT ON RULE syntax adds an 'ON tablename' clause,
similar to TRIGGER syntaxes. To allow loading of existing pg_dump
files containing COMMENT ON RULE, the COMMENT code will still accept
the old syntax --- but only if the target rulename is unique across
the whole database.
an 'opclass owner' column in pg_opclass. Nothing is done with it at
present, but since there are plans to invent a CREATE OPERATOR CLASS
command soon, we'll probably want DROP OPERATOR CLASS too, which
suggests that a notion of ownership would be a good idea.
qualified operator names directly, for example CREATE OPERATOR myschema.+
( ... ). To qualify an operator name in an expression you need to write
OPERATOR(myschema.+) (thanks to Peter for suggesting an escape hatch).
I also took advantage of having to reformat pg_operator to fix something
that'd been bugging me for a while: mergejoinable operators should have
explicit links to the associated cross-data-type comparison operators,
rather than hardwiring an assumption that they are named < and >.
was in the thread "make BufferGetBlockNumber() a macro". Tom

doesn't change BufferGetBlockNumber() into a macro, it just
cleans up some comments and fixes an assertion. The patch

The indexes on most system catalogs are named with the suffix "_index";
not so with TOAST table indexes, which use "_idx". This trivial patch
changes TOAST table index names to use the "_index" suffix for
consistency.
Neil Conway
In summary, if a software writer implements timer events or other events
which generate a signal with a timing fast enough to occur while libpq
is inside connect(), then connect returns -EINTR. The code following
the connect call does not handle this and generates an error message.
The sum result is that the pg_connect() fails. If the timer or other
event is right on the window of the connect() completion time, the
pg_connect() may appear to work sporadically. If the event is too slow,
pg_connect() will appear to always work and if the event is too fast,
pg_connect() will always fail.

selected as the creation target namespace; to make that happen, you
must explicitly set search_path that way. This makes initdb a hair
more complex but seems like a good safety feature.
have been divided according to the type of object manipulated - so ALTER
TABLE code is in tablecmds.c, aggregate commands in aggregatecmds.c and
so on.
A few common support routines remain in define.c (prototypes in

No code has been changed except for includes to reflect the new files.
The prototypes for aggregatecmds.c, functioncmds.c, operatorcmds.c,

Add Mandrake installation layout to directories to check for stylesheets.
Allow documentation build to proceed if stylesheets were not found, in case
the stylesheets might be found through the SGML catalog mechanism.
some old code to add PK constraints to CREATE TABLE. That stuff
had been removed as part of my original patch for pg_dump a
little while ago.
The attached patch fixes this by removing (again :-) ) the
code in dumpTables() to perform PK creation during CREATE
TABLE. I briefly tested it locally and it fixes both of
Tom's test cases.
