Thomas G. Lockhart 6a982fc6a7 Minor wording change. 1999-05-12 07:34:02 +00:00
Thomas G. Lockhart 95e3cec621 Include mention of CASE, COALESCE, and IFNULL.

Bruce Momjian 0b4fab42c3 Update man page for select 1999-05-10 18:22:48 +00:00
Bruce Momjian 86dacdb74c libpq++ uses fe_setauthsvc which is deprecated and results in an error
on connection. This patch changes it to use PQconnectdb rather than
{fe_setauthsvc,PQsetdb}. This still isn't the complete solution, as
there
is no provision for user,password in class PgEnv, but it does get rid of
the error message. Tested with gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201
(egcs-1.1.1 release) under NetBSD-1.3K/i386.

Cheers,

Patrick Welche

Bruce Momjian 289a826dab Here is a new version of my patch for allowing pg_dump to DROP schema
elements prior to CREATEing new ones.  It is under control of the -c
command line option (with the default being status quo).

The DROP TRIGGER portion still needs implementation.  Anyone able to
help clarify what exactly the CREATE TRIGGER portion does so I can fix
this?

Again, I have tried this with tables/indexes/sequences, but do not
have other schema elements in my database.  As a result, I am not 100%
convinced that I got the syntax correct in all cases (but think I did,
nonetheless).  If anyone can check the other cases, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,
Brook

[I added manual page and sgml additions for the new -c option.]

Bruce Momjian 03f1648872 Attached is a patch with some fixes that (I think that) should go into
6.4.1. Here is the list:

- The type int8 now works. In fact, the bug(s) were in
src/backend/port/snprintf.c, so int8 is probably broken in every platform
that hasn't a native snprintf/vsnprintf. The type itself worked as
expected, only the output was wrong. Anyway, this patch should be checked
in other platforms.

- The regression tests for int2 and int4, which were broken due to
differences in the error messages, are fixed.

- The regression test for float8, which was broken in the reference
platform, is also fixed. I don't know if the new file (float8-OSF1.out)
will work on other platforms, but it might be worth to try it.

- Two new template files are provided (alpha_cc, which includes
optimization, and alpha_gcc), and src/templates/.similar is updated
accordingly. src/templates/alpha should be removed from the distribution.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: I don't know if you can use gcc to compile postgres;
I've written the alpha_gcc file because alpha_cc has some flags that are
specific to DEC C.

- There is a (very basic) Digital Unix specific FAQ in
doc/FAQ_DigitalUnix.
