Also, make 'modified' flag be local to ApplyRetrieveRule: we should
append a rule's quals to the query iff that particular rule applies,
not if we have fired any previously-considered rule for the query!

There is a second-rate implementation of inet_aton() already present

contained a sub-SELECT nested within an AND/OR tree that cnfify()
thought it should rearrange. Same physical sub-SELECT node could
end up linked into multiple places in resulting expression tree.
This is harmless for most node types, but not for SubLink.
Repair bug by making physical copies of subexpressions that get
logically duplicated by cnfify(). Also, tweak the heuristic that
decides whether it's a good idea to do cnfify() --- we don't really
want that to happen when it would cause multiple copies of a subselect
to be generated, I think.

as a shared dirtybit for each shared buffer. The shared dirtybit still
controls writing the buffer, but the local bit controls whether we need
to fsync the buffer's file. This arrangement fixes a bug that allowed
some required fsyncs to be missed, and should improve performance as well.

parse node types. This allows these statements to be placed in a plpgsql

be added if anyone felt like turning the crank.

It does work with the following patch applied and gcc 2.95.2 .
Use --with-template=aix_gcc to compile the whole lot with gcc.
The geometry regression test produces different precision.
With optimization I run into regression failures starting at oidjoins,
thus no -O2. Anybody else try gcc 2.95.2 and -O2 on beta4 ?
This is an important patch, since recent versions of the IBM compiler
are not for free, and thus most questions I get concern gcc.

xact abort state in pg_exec_query_dest, we should continue scanning the

would crash, due to premature invocation of SetQuerySnapshot(). Clean
up problems with handling of multiple queries by splitting
pg_parse_and_plan into two routines. The old code would not, for
example, do the right thing with END; SELECT... submitted in one query
string when it had been in transaction abort state, because it'd decide
to skip planning the SELECT before it had executed the END. New
arrangement is simpler and doesn't force caller to plan if only
parse+rewrite is needed.
be an expression not just a simple Var, so long as only one table is
referenced (so that code isn't really any more difficult than before).
This whole thing is still fundamentally bogus, but at least we can accept
a few more cases than before.
WHERE in a place where it can be part of a nestloop inner indexqual.
As the code stood, it put the same physical sub-Plan node into both
indxqual and indxqualorig of the IndexScan plan node. That confused
later processing in the optimizer (which expected that tracing the
subPlan list would visit each subplan node exactly once), and would
probably have blown up in the executor if the planner hadn't choked first.
Fix by making the 'fixed' indexqual be a complete deep copy of the
original indexqual, rather than trying to share nodes below the topmost
operator node. This had further ramifications though, because we were
making the aforesaid list of sub-Plan nodes during SS_process_sublinks
which is run before construction of the 'fixed' indexqual, meaning that
the copy of the sub-Plan didn't show up in that list. Fix by rearranging
logic so that the sub-Plan list is built by the final set_plan_references
pass, not in SS_process_sublinks. This may sound like a mess, but it's
actually a good deal cleaner now than it was before, because we are no
longer dependent on the assumption that planning will never make a copy
of a sub-Plan node.
Should be more robust to overflows.
Pass through an unmapped function unchanged, rather than rejecting it.
Add a few more functions, but comment out those which can go through as-is.
Can be used with contrib/odbc/ package, though that isn't committed yet.

pg_internal.init file in-place, which meant that if another backend
started at about the same time, it might read the incomplete file.
init_irels tries to guard against that, but I have now seen a crash
due to reading bad data from a partly-written file. (This may indicate
a kernel bug on my platform? Not sure.) Anyway, clearly the safest
course is to write the new pg_internal.init file under a unique temporary
filename, and rename it into place only after it's all written.
- I was unable to compile ecpg due to the ":=" instead of "=" in defining
LIBPQDIR and some other variables in Makefile.global.in
- pg_id (and also pg_encoding) executable was not removed during "make
clean" - there was no $(X) appended to the executable name for rm
- I have added result for int2, int4, float8 and geometry regression tests
- int2, int2 - yet another message for too large numbers ;-)
- float8 - it is problably a bug in the newlib C library - it has no
error message for numbers with exponent -400
- geometry - differences in precision of float numbers
- I have added appropriate lines into resultmap file
- I have modified the script regress.sh to use "case" statement when testing
the hostname. For cygwin the script is called with "i686-pc-cygwin" (on my
machine) as a parameter and this was not catched with the "if" statement.
The check was done for PORTNAME (win) and not HOSTNAME (i.86-pc-cygwin*).
The patch for described modifications is included.
All this modifications can be applied to "current" tree too.
The compilation was done on CygwinB20.1 with gcc 2.95, cygipc library 1.05.
The binaries were able to run also on the newest development snapshot
(2000-03-25).

Make similar changes to hpux templates. Might want to do the same for
other foo_cc and foo_gcc pairs, but will desist until I hear from
someone who uses those platforms.
and do not arbitrarily pull in CFLAGS instead. This caters to platforms
where the C++ compiler does not like all the same switches the C compiler
wants.
In the event of an elog() while the mode was set to immediate write,
there was no way for it to be set back to the normal delayed write.
The mechanism was a waste of space and cycles anyway, since the only user
was varsup.c, which could perfectly well call FlushBuffer directly.
Now it does just that, and the notion of a write mode is gone.

Remove all tokens which are defined as operators from ColID and ColLabel

to next integer. Previously, if selectivity was small, we could compute
very tiny scan cost on the basis of estimating that only 0.001 tuple
would be fetched, which is silly. This naturally led to some rather
silly plans...
Move CREATE FUNCTION/WITH clause to end of statement to get around
shift/reduce conflicts with type names containing "WITH".
Add lots of tokens as allowed ColId's and/or ColLabel's,
so this should be a complete set for the v7.0 release.
We still have an internal limit in the ODBC code of 8 columns per key,

But none of those reasons apply to plperl.
keys lists of Constraint nodes. This eliminates a type pun that would
probably have caused trouble someday, and eliminates circular references
in the parsetree that were causing trouble now.
Also, change parser's uses of strcasecmp() to strcmp(). Since scan.l
has downcased any unquoted identifier, it is never correct to check an
identifier with strcasecmp() in the parser. For example,
CREATE TABLE FOO (f1 int, UNIQUE("F1"));
was accepted, which is wrong, and xlateSqlFunc did more than it should:
select datetime();
ERROR: Function 'timestamp()' does not exist
(good)
select "DateTime"();
ERROR: Function 'timestamp()' does not exist
(bad)
Clean up grotty coding in them, too. AFAICS from the CVS logs, these

it in a separate object. There's no value in keeping the state separate,
and it creates dangling-pointer problems. Also, remove PQsetenv routines
from public API, until and unless they are redesigned to have a safer
interface. Since they were never part of the documented API before 7.0,
it's unlikely that anyone is calling them.
to avoid undue sensitivity to roundoff error, believe that a zero
or slightly negative range estimate should represent a small
positive selectivity, rather than falling back on a generic default
estimate.
1. C++ style comments in C source for ecpg ( // comment )
2. compiler finds wrong include file extern.h in ecpg/lib/descriptor.c
from
include path instead of workdir (rename it ?)
3. fe-connect getsockopt takes a socklen_t as fifth arg not int (use
SOCKET_SIZE_TYPE instead)
4. char vs unsigned char in psql calls to libpq
5. empty define that results in an empty but terminated line ( ; )
Now for all but point 3 I can supply changes to the
compiler flags, to make the compiler less pedantic.
Or is someone interested in the complications ?
in the meantime can someone apply the attached patch ?

use a default value that's fairly small. We were generating a result
of about 0.1, but I think 0.01 is probably better --- want to encourage
use of an indexscan in this situation.
costs using the inner path's parent->rows count as the number of tuples
processed per inner scan iteration. This is wrong when we are using an
inner indexscan with indexquals based on join clauses, because the rows
count in a Relation node reflects the selectivity of the restriction
clauses for that rel only. Upshot was that if join clause was very
selective, we'd drastically overestimate the true cost of the join.
Fix is to calculate correct output-rows estimate for an inner indexscan
when the IndexPath node is created and save it in the path node.
Change of path node doesn't require initdb, since path nodes don't
appear in saved rules.
to simplify constant expressions and expand SubLink nodes into SubPlans
is done in a separate routine subquery_planner() that calls union_planner().
We formerly did most of this work in query_planner(), but that's the
wrong place because it may never see the real targetlist. Splitting
union_planner into two routines also allows us to avoid redundant work
when union_planner is invoked recursively for UNION and inheritance
cases. Upshot is that it is now possible to do something like
select float8(count(*)) / (select count(*) from int4_tbl) from int4_tbl

incorrect descriptions of a couple of log-related functions.
I will not force an initdb for this, but log() on a numeric won't
work until you do one...
In function parsing, try for an actual function of the given name and
input types before trying to interpret the function call as a type
coercion request, rather than after. Before, a function that had the
same name as a type and operated on a binary-compatible type wouldn't
get invoked. Also, cross-pollinate between func_select_candidates and
oper_select_candidates to ensure that they use as nearly the same
resolution rules as possible. A few other minor code cleanups too.
problem could be lack of parentheses. This addresses cases like
X UserOp UserOp Y, which will be parsed as (X UserOp) UserOp Y,
whereas what likely was wanted was X UserOp (UserOp Y).
16-Mar-00: trailing + or - is not part of the operator unless the operator
also contains characters not present in SQL92-defined operators. This
solves the 'X=-Y' problem without unduly constraining users' choice of
operator names --- in particular, no existing Postgres operator names
become invalid.
Also, remove processing of // comments, as agreed in the same thread.

/tmp/trace.out.
However, elog.h uses DEBUG as a log-level flag. As a result, tracing is
turned on even if the libpq++.so is built with DEBUG commented out in
the Makefile.
This patch changes libpq++ to use DEBUGFILE instead (which is not
defined anywhere else).

after trying to resolve the item as an input-column name. This allows us
to be compliant with the SQL92 spec for queries that fall within the spec,
while still accepting the same out-of-spec queries as 6.5 did. You'll only
lose if there is an output column name that is the same as an input
column name, but doesn't refer to the same value. 7.0 will interpret
such a GROUP BY spec differently than 6.5 did. No way around that, because
6.5 was clearly not spec compliant.
