Bruce Momjian e134556743 I have compiled and tested PostgreSQL 7.1devel on UnixWare 7.1. During the
process, the need for changes to the FAQ_SCO document was uncovered.  The
attach patch file implements thost changes.

Bruce Momjian 89f6443ca3 In the meaning of bug-fix, the patch is not needed. Because you
have already modified "next_insert()" in 7.0-ecpglib.  However
in the meaning of speed-up, the patch will be needed.

Peter Eisentraut 664ce79dd8 Fixes for Cygwin, with help from Pete Forman <gsez020@kryten.bedford.waii.com>.
Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension.  This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.

Bruce Momjian ebdfac3bb1 the patch include:
- rename ichar() to chr() (discussed with Tom)

        - add docs for oracle compatible routines:

                btrim()
                ascii()
                chr()
                repeat()

        - fix bug with timezone in to_char()

        - all to_char() variants return NULL instead textin("")
          if it's needful.

 The contrib/odbc is without changes and contains same routines as main
tree ... because I not sure how plans are Thomas with this :-)

This effectively one line patch should fix the fact that
foreign key definitions in create table were erroring if
a primary key was defined.  I was using the columns
list to get the columns of the table for comparison, but
it got reused as a temporary list inside the primary key
stuff.

Peter Eisentraut 457ac0331c Implement differentiation between CURRENT_USER and SESSION_USER as per SQL.
There is still no effective difference but it will kick in once setuid

current_user.

Peter Eisentraut 418bd67eda Add a blurb about what tools are required to build. 2000-09-17 20:35:27 +00:00
Peter Eisentraut 335248c9b7 Support for DESTDIR make variable. This is used as in `make install
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.

DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because

a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.

b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.

(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)

Bruce Momjian 67cd018e77 Startup is actually start-up. 2000-08-29 20:02:09 +00:00
Bruce Momjian dffd8cac3d * to_char:
- full support for IW (ISO week) and vice versa conversion for IW too
    (the to_char 'week' support is now complete and I hope correct).

  Thomas, I use for IW code from timestamp.c, for this I create separate
  function date2isoweek() from original 'case DTK_WEEK:' code in the
  timestamp_part(). I mean will better use one code for same feature in
  date_part() and in to_char(). The isoweek2date() is added to timestamp.c
  too. Right?

  IMHO in 7.1 will all to_char's features complete. It is cca 41 templates
  for date/time and cca 21 for numbers.

 * to_ascii:

   - gcc, is it correct now? :-)


  In the patch is documentation for to_char's IW and for to_ascii().

Bruce Momjian c51041f4ba Here is a patch against the same cvs tree as the SSL patch (Aug 20).
I hope I didn't mess the SGML up too bad, but somebody should definitly
look that over. I tried to steal as much as I could from around :-)

This patch updates:
* Installation instructions (paragraph on how to compile with openssl)
* Documentation of pg_hba.conf (added "hostssl" record docs)
* Libpq documentation (added connection option, documentation of
  PQgetssl() function)
* Add section on SSL to "Server Runtime Environment"

If you beleive any particular area needs more attention, please let me know.

Tom Lane e67ff6b670 fmgr interface mopup work. Use new DatumGetBool and BoolGetDatum
macros where appropriate (the code used to have several different ways
of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...).  Remove last few

now.  The typedefs themselves should probably stay in c.h for a release
or two, though, to avoid breaking user-written C functions.
