more restriction for fretful users. The current PG allow define only
NO-CREATE-DB and NO-CREATE-USER restriction, but for some users I need
NO-CREATE-TABLE and NO-LOCK-TABLE.
This patch add to current code NOCREATETABLE and NOLOCKTABLE feature:
CREATE USER username
[ WITH
[ SYSID uid ]
[ PASSWORD 'password' ] ]
[ CREATEDB | NOCREATEDB ] [ CREATEUSER | NOCREATEUSER ]
-> [ CREATETABLE | NOCREATETABLE ] [ LOCKTABLE | NOLOCKTABLE ]
...etc.
If CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE is not specific in CREATE USER command,
as default is set CREATETABLE or LOCKTABLE (true).
A user with NOCREATETABLE restriction can't call CREATE TABLE or
SELECT INTO commands, only create temp table is allow for him.

That means you can now set your options in either or all of $PGDATA/configuration,
some postmaster option (--enable-fsync=off), or set a SET command. The list of
options is in backend/utils/misc/guc.c, documentation will be written post haste.
pg_options is gone, so is that pq_geqo config file. Also removed were backend -K,
-Q, and -T options (no longer applicable, although -d0 does the same as -Q).
Added to configure an --enable-syslog option.
changed all callers from TPRINTF to elog(DEBUG)
key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle.
An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL
handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions).
NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.
Rearrange handling of VACUUMs so that they are certain to be executed
as superuser not some random user; also, do not forget to vacuum
template1 itself.
repaired psql option scanning bug (special treatment to \g |pipe)
fixed ipcclean makefile
made configure look for Perl to handle psql help build gracefully
here is an updated version of the bit type with a bugfix and all the necessa
ry
SQL functions defined. This should replace what is currently in contrib. I'd
appreciate any comments on what is there.
Kind regards,
Adriaan
- 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).

user, so it doesn't need to be translated from the number to the name.
also ``create database ...'' does not take numbers for the encoding, so
the ENCODING variable does not need to be translated to a number, but left
as the text representation. a patch is supplied to make the changes i
have found to work. i was successful dumping and reloading my database
after these changes.

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.
Implement TIME WITH TIME ZONE type (timetz internal type).
Remap length() for character strings to CHAR_LENGTH() for SQL92
and to remove the ambiguity with geometric length() functions.
Keep length() for character strings for backward compatibility.
Shrink stored views by removing internal column name list from visible rte.
Implement min(), max() for time and timetz data types.
Implement conversion of TIME to INTERVAL.
Implement abs(), mod(), fac() for the int8 data type.
Rename some math functions to generic names:
round(), sqrt(), cbrt(), pow(), etc.
Rename NUMERIC power() function to pow().
Fix int2 factorial to calculate result in int4.
Enhance the Oracle compatibility function translate() to work with string
arguments (from Edwin Ramirez).
Modify pg_proc system table to remove OID holes.
1) adds NetBSD shared lib support on both ELF and a.out platforms
2) replaces "-L$(LIBPQDIR) -lpq" with "$(LIBPQ)" defined in
Makefile.global. This makes it much easier to build stuff in
the source tree after you've already installed the libraries.
3) adds TEMPLATEDIR in Makefile.global that indicates where the
database templates are stored. This separates the template files
from real libraries that are installed in $(LIBDIR).
4) changes include order of <readline/readline.h> and <readline.h>.
The latest GNU readline installs its headers under a readline
subdirectory.
In addition to applying the patch below the following files need to be copied:
backend/port/dynloader:
bsd.h -> netbsd.h
bsd.c -> netbsd.c
include/port:
bsd.h -> netbsd.h
makefiles:
Makefile.bsd -> Makefile.netbsd
It would be great to see this incorporated into the source tree before
the 7.0 release is cut.
Thanks!

I try change prompt in the psql, but it is set '.' (as '%m') for
non-TCP/IP
connection. This small patch try use uname() information for non-TCP/IP
instead '.'.

fields, nor with bpchar and varchar fields that have typmod -1. The
latter effectively have an unspecified length, so I made them display
as char() and varchar() rather than falsely equating them to char(1)
and varchar(1).
2. Regression tests fail for types int2 and int4 (which can easily be
fixed by adding entries to resultmap) aswell as float8 and geometry,
where floating point numbers appear to be rounded a little differently
than in your expected results (besides that I also need the positive
zeros file). I'm including a patch for the first 2, but I don't know
whether the latter two are actually a bug in postgres or a bug in the
OS or even allowed difference. I'm including my results for reference.

accesses versus sequential accesses, a (very crude) estimate of the
effects of caching on random page accesses, and cost to evaluate WHERE-
clause expressions. Export critical parameters for this model as SET
variables. Also, create SET variables for the planner's enable flags
(enable_seqscan, enable_indexscan, etc) so that these can be controlled
more conveniently than via PGOPTIONS.
Planner now estimates both startup cost (cost before retrieving
first tuple) and total cost of each path, so it can optimize queries
with LIMIT on a reasonable basis by interpolating between these costs.
Same facility is a win for EXISTS(...) subqueries and some other cases.
Redesign pathkey representation to achieve a major speedup in planning
(I saw as much as 5X on a 10-way join); also minor changes in planner
to reduce memory consumption by recycling discarded Path nodes and
not constructing unnecessary lists.
Minor cleanups to display more-plausible costs in some cases in
EXPLAIN output.
Initdb forced by change in interface to index cost estimation
functions.
am including a patch to get it compile.
changes to psql:
- added less as default pager when compiling on Cygwin
- need to declare "filename_completion_function" because it is not exported
from readline -> added to include/port/win.h
changes to pg_id:
- include of <getopt.h>
- add .exe when installing
I think there is a problem with calling the regress tests on WinNT - it
should be called with PORTNAME not HOST as the parameter to regress.sh or
the check when to add "-h localhost" to psql has to be changed. Now it is
checked against the PORTNAME.
The results of the regress tests were OK with expected failures ;-)

and initdb crashs (I set pglib path to PG 6.5.3 directory instead to
7.0 and initdb take this BKI old templates ... (initdb not check
BKI version and BKI files not has any version comments (TODO?))
This patch add to the initdb --show option which show setting of all
initdb's values. It spare developers time if in setting is bug.

Initdb help correction

Commented out way old printing functions in libpq

better than failing to build at all...
does not end with a newline. I don't think this explains the recent
complaints, since this bug existed in 6.5 (and probably long before).
But might as well fix it now that I see it.
Here is a patch to bring both libpq and psql to a state where it compiles on
win32 (native) again. A lot of things have changed, and I have not been able
to keep up with them all, so it has been broken for quite a while.
After this patch, at least it compiles. It also talks "basic talk" to the
server, but I have not yet tested all things. Sending queries, and using
e.g. \d or \dt works fine. The rest will have to be tested further.
It also bumps the version on libpq.dll to 7.0.
Everything should be enclosed in #ifdef WIN32, unless I have missed
something. Except for one or maybe two places where I have moved a #include
that should not be used on win32 from the "global area" into a "#ifndef
WIN32 area".

Attached is a patch which patches cleanly against the Sunday afternoon
snapshot. It modifies pg_dump to dump COMMENT ON statements for
user-definable descriptions. In addition, it also modifies comment.c so
that the operator behavior is as Peter E. would like: a comment on an
operator is applied to the underlying function.
Thanks,
Mike Mascari
oidvector/int2vector. pg_dump code was assuming that it would see
exactly FUNC_MAX_ARGS integers in the string returned by the backend.
That's no longer true. (Perhaps that change wasn't such a good idea
after all --- will it break any other applications??)
- Prevent permissions on indexes
- Instituted --enable-multibyte option and tweaked the MB build process where necessary
- initdb prompts for superuser password
* Let unprivileged users change their own passwords.
* The password is now an Sconst in the parser, which better reflects its text datatype and also
forces users to quote them.
* If your password is NULL you won't be written to the password file, meaning you can't connect
until you have a password set up (if you use password authentication).
* When you drop a user that owns a database you get an error. The database is not gone.
I finally got around to schlepping through pg_dump, to finish what I started
about three months (or more) ago. Attached is a gzipped diff file to apply
in the bin/pg_dump directory. This should remove all string length
dependencies, except one, which I'm working on. It has been through some
rudimentary unit testing, but that's about it, so if any of you would give
it a more strenuous run-through, I'd be grateful for the feedback.
Cheers...

Locate path of postmaster in a portable way (stolen from initdb)
Add postmaster.opts.default.sample which should be copied into
$PGLIB in the installtion process. Also, it will be installed into
$PGDATA while initdb is running.

i tried it... it seems to work
neko@kredit.sth.sz
initdb. No more obscure dependencies on environment variables or paths.
It
now finds the templates and the right postgres itself (with cmd line
options as fallback). It also no longer depends on $USER (su safe), and
doesn't advertise that --username allows you to install the db as a
different user, since that doesn't work anyway. Also, recovery and
cleanup
on all errors. Consistent options, clearer documentation.
Please take a look at this and adopt it if you feel it's safe enough. I
have simulated all the stupid circumstances I could think of, but you
never know with shell scripts.
Oh yeah, you can give the postgres user a default password now.

I sending promised patch with:
* getopt_long() - for pg_dump (portable)
* and "Usage: " changes in scripts in src/bin/
- this changes are cosmetic only, not change any
feature ...etc.
All PostgreSQL routines (scripts) support now long options and
help's output is alike for all scripts and all support -? or --help.

Karel Zak <zakkr@zf.jcu.cz> http://home.zf.jcu.cz/~zakkr/
* Document/trigger/rule so changes to pg_shadow recreate pg_pwd
I did it with a trigger and it seems to work like a charm. The function
that already updates the file for create and alter user has been made a
built-in "SQL" function and a trigger is created at initdb time.
Comments around the pg_pwd updating function seem to be worried about
this
routine being called concurrently, but I really don't see a reason to
worry about this. Verify for yourself. I guess we never had a system
trigger before, so treat this with care, and feel free to adjust the
nomenclature as well.

against the sources from one hour ago and contain all the portable and
up
to date stuff.
A few other CVS "householding" things you might want to take care of:
* Remove the src/bin/cleardbdir directory
* Remove the file src/bin/psql/sql_help.h from the repository, as it is
a derived file and is build by the release_prep.

them into the scripts dir. I also added a --list option to show already
installed languages.
This whole moving and renaming totally confused CVS and my checked out
copy got completely fried last night. When you apply the source patch,
please make sure that all the directories src/bin/{create|destroy}* as
well as vacuumdb, cleardbdir are gone and that all the scripts (7) are
in
scripts/.
Meanwhile I am still puzzled about what happened with the docs patch.
