have the rl_completion_append_character variable. The tab completion
behavior doesn't seem to be quite perfect in that situation, but it's
better than failing to build at all...
- Prevent permissions on indexes
- Instituted --enable-multibyte option and tweaked the MB build process where necessary
- initdb prompts for superuser password
eliminating some wildly inconsistent coding in various parts of the
system. I set MAXPGPATH = 1024 in config.h.in. If anyone is really
convinced that there ought to be a configure-time test to set the
value, go right ahead ... but I think it's a waste of time.
BT_READ/BT_WRITE are BUFFER_LOCK_SHARE/BUFFER_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE now.
Also get rid of #define BT_VERSION_1 - we use version 1 as default
for near two years now.
configtype.patch simply fixes a typo in config.h.in
pg_dump.c.patch Updates a bunch of error messages to include a reason

it with configure-script tests to see whether const, inline, volatile, etc
work or not. (Curiously, configure was already doing the work to see if
const and inline were OK, but the results were not getting plugged into
config.h :-(.)
of MAXBACKENDS is now 1024, since all it's costing is about 32 bytes of memory
per array slot. configure's --with-maxbackends switch now controls DEF_MAXBACKENDS
which is simply the default value of the postmaster's -N switch. Thus,
the out-of-the-box configuration will still limit you to 64 backends,
but you can go up to 1024 backends simply by restarting the postmaster with
a different -N switch --- no rebuild required.
(--with-maxbackends). Add a postmaster switch (-N backends) that allows
the limit to be reduced at postmaster start time. (You can't increase it,
sorry to say, because there are still some fixed-size arrays.)
Grab the number of semaphores indicated by min(MAXBACKENDS, -N) at
postmaster startup, so that this particular form of bogus configuration
is exposed immediately rather than under heavy load.
instead of our own halfway-there code. Add AC_STRUCT_TIMEZONE call
to check whether tm_zone exists in struct tm. Revise reading of template
file so that templates can define any variables they feel like (and,
indeed, can execute arbitrary shell code) rather than being constrained
to a fixed set of variable names.
instead of relying on port's os.h to tell us. (Needed for HPUX
where system major version is not enough info.)
configure unsets USE_TK if X libraries not found.
doc/Makefile uses gzcat or zcat as found by autoconf.
Here are patches needed to complie under AIX 4.2.
I changed configure.in, pqcomm.c, config.h.in, and fe-connect.c.
Also I had to install flex because lex did not want to translate pgc.l.
is wrong and dangerous unless you are using contrib/string. We really
need a thorough look at the issue of making the backend and the FE/BE
protocols completely 8-bit-clean for string data, but that's a task
for some future release.
and make backend/libpq/pqcomm.c only try to lock the socket file when
the call exists. Also, change open-RDONLY to open-WRONLY; at least
on my platform, you can't get a write lock on a file you didn't open
for writing.
is a working 64-bit-int type available.
In playing around with it on my machine, I found that gcc provides
perfectly fine support for "long long" arithmetic ... but sprintf()
and sscanf(), which are system-supplied, don't work :-(. So the
autoconf test program does a cursory test on them too.
If we find that a lot of systems are like this, it might be worth
the trouble to implement binary<->ASCII conversion of int64 ourselves
rather than relying on sprintf/sscanf to handle the data type.

least, Solaris 2.5.1. We use it in backend/utils/adt/int8.c.
Add a check to configure so that we see if it exists or not, and, if not,
compile in snprintf.c from backend/port, which was taken from, and falls under
the same Berkeley license as us, the FreeBSD libc/stdio ...
psql in Postgres 6.3.2. Both of these problems were complained of
recently in pgsql-questions:
1. In the right circumstances, psql.c will fail to compile due to
trying
to include a nonexistent <history.h>. (Thread "Compile-time
error" around 17 Apr 98.) 2. In other circumstances, psql will
compile but does not provide
command history capability, even though the underlying readline
library supports it. (Various threads, most recently "query
repetition in psql" around 29 Apr.)

probleme number 1 :
- configure can find the library readline , but don't
find the header file . so in this case we don't use lib readline
.
probleme number 2 :
- when you have postgres 6.2.1 and readline installed
with the same prefix( and generally all your software ) . you
can compile the version 6.3 . I use this prefix , when configure
ask me for "Additional directories to search for include files"
.
( because there a conflict in the header when you
compile psql.c ) In this case, you must permut the sequence of
directive -I .

2) Add "#define gettimeofday(a,b) gettimeofday(a) to src/include/config.h
On the 88k SVR4, gettimeofday only has one argument. This is
checked for in a few other packages by configure, so there should
be some examples of the configure test out there.
What it does:
It solves stupid problem with cyrillic charsets IP-based on-fly recoding.
take a look at /data/charset.conf for details.
You can use any tables for any charset.
Tables are from Russian Apache project.
Tables in this patch contains also Ukrainian characters.
Then run ./configure --enable-recode
Ok. I have decided to use:
#if defined(sun) && if defined(sparc) && !defined(__svr4)
instead of defined(sunos4). interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h and
include/c.h have been modified(see included patches).
Another porblems I have found are:
o SunOS lacks strtoul(). to fix this I stole strtoul.c from FreeBSD
and place it under backend/port. necessary modifications have been
also made to backend/port/Makefile.in, include/config.h.in and
configure.in (see included patches).

Missing port-protos.h (not needed, I think). Wants dld.h. Should
really use the system dl stuff (like i386_solaris). Needs to include
<netinet/in.h> before <arpa/inet.h>. Here are some patches...
nodeAgg.c: WARN -> NOTICE for elog
parse_oper.c: was created after patch for fmgr_info, so function call wrong
scan.c: regenerated for i386_solaris using flex 2.5.4
gethostname.c: required prototype for gethostname() function
config.h.in: create prototype for isinfo() function
isinf.c: "fake" isinf() under i386_solaris using fpclass() call...
Makefile.global.
End result, if all goes well, should allow for much easier porting, since
there will no longer be a concept of a "port". Most, if not everything,
*should* be determined by configure, or by the compiler itself. Still
work to be done though :)
#define StrNCpy(dst,src,len) \

^^^^^^ - to avoid "value computed is not used" from gcc

time)
config.h.in:
/*
* TBL_FREE_CMD_MEMORY: free memory allocated for an user query inside
* transaction block after this query is done.
*/
#define TBL_FREE_CMD_MEMORY
- this is default now.
Remove USE_LOCALE from Makefile.global.in
Add USE_LOCALE to build/configure/config.h
Add check for BUILDRUN in configure to make sure that build is run before
configure
of endian.h. I figure that if it exists it's pretty sure that it has
the byte order information and we may catch some other ports without
any further testing.

Subject: [HACKERS] password authentication
This patch adds support for plaintext password authentication. To use
it, you add a line like
host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 password pg_pwd.conf
to your pg_hba.conf, where 'pg_pwd.conf' is the name of a file containing
the usernames and password hashes in the format of the first two fields
of a Unix /etc/passwd file. (Of course, you can use a specific database
name or IP instead.)
Then, to connect with a password through libpq, you use the PQconnectdb()
function, specifying the "password=" tag in the connect string and also
adding the tag "authtype=password".
I also added a command-line switch '-u' to psql that tells it to prompt
for a username and password and use password authentication.
Essentially, config.h now includes an 'os.h', which is created via
configure by linking a "port.h" file from the port directory to the
include directory.
Going to try to merge backend/port in similar ways
