1. Distinguish cases where a Datum representing a tuple datatype is an OID
from cases where it is a pointer to TupleTableSlot, and make sure we use
the right typlen in each case.
2. Make fetchatt() and related code support 8-byte by-value datatypes on
machines where Datum is 8 bytes. Centralize knowledge of the available
by-value datatype sizes in two macros in tupmacs.h, so that this will be
easier if we ever have to do it again.
table that inherits from a temp table. Make sure the right things happen
if one creates a temp table, creates another temp that inherits from it,
then renames the first one. (Previously, system would end up trying to
delete the temp tables in the wrong order.)
recommendation from Paul Vixie. Add a new abbrev() function to produce
abbreviated format as text. No forced initdb, but new function is not
available unless you do an initdb or add the pg_proc row manually.
If pghost == "" and pgport == "" then PQsetdbLogin() fails with a
error message:
Is the postmaster running locally
and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.0'?
I see many applications such as PHP fails due to this behavior.
Now if pgport == "", then it is assumed to be a DEF_PGPORT_STR. This
is the same behavior as the version prior 7.1.
added to support character set encodings. However I noticed that the
encoding that is used isn't obtained from the DB. Since Java uses
unicode UCS2 internally the character set encoding is used to translate
strings from/to the DB encoding. So it seems logical that the code
would get the encoding from the DB instead of the current method of
requiring the user pass it as a parameter.
Attached is a patch that gets the DB encoding from the DB in the same
manner as is done in libpq/fe-connect.c. The patch is created off of
the latest CVS sources (Connection.java version 1.10).

level" locks. A session lock is not released at transaction commit (but it
is released on transaction abort, to ensure recovery after an elog(ERROR)).
In VACUUM, use a session lock to protect the master table while vacuuming a
TOAST table, so that the TOAST table can be done in an independent
transaction.
I also took this opportunity to do some cleanup and renaming in the lock
code. The previously noted bug in ProcLockWakeup, that it couldn't wake up
any waiters beyond the first non-wakeable waiter, is now fixed. Also found
a previously unknown bug of the same kind (failure to scan all members of
a lock queue in some cases) in DeadLockCheck. This might have led to failure
to detect a deadlock condition, resulting in indefinite waits, but it's
difficult to characterize the conditions required to trigger a failure.
applied to the duplicated subtree twice. Probably someday we should
fix the parser not to generate multiple links to the same subtree,
but for now a quick copyObject() is the path of least resistance.
observed by Inoue. Also, don't call ProcRemove() from postmaster if we
have detected a backend crash --- too risky if shared memory is corrupted.
It's not needed anyway, considering we are going to reinitialize shared
memory and semaphores as soon as the last child is dead.

might change it. Experimentation shows that the signal handler call
mechanism does not save/restore errno for you, at least not on Linux
or HPUX, so this is definitely a real risk.
to ensure that we have released buffer refcounts and so forth, rather than
putting ad-hoc operations before (some of the calls to) proc_exit. Add
commentary to discourage future hackers from repeating that mistake.

Again thanks Kovacs, you found really designing bug, that appear
if anyone write bad format template to "number" version of to_char()
(as you with 'DD').

comparison does not consider paths different when they differ only in
uninteresting aspects of sort order. (We had a special case of this
consideration for indexscans already, but generalize it to apply to
ordered join paths too.) Be stricter about what is a canonical pathkey
to allow faster pathkey comparison. Cache canonical pathkeys and
dispersion stats for left and right sides of a RestrictInfo's clause,
to avoid repeated computation. Total speedup will depend on number of
tables in a query, but I see about 4x speedup of planning phase for
a sample seven-table query.
OIDs rather than names. Aside from being simpler and faster, this way
doesn't blow up in the face of 'create temp table foo () inherits (foo)'.
Which is a rather odd thing to do, but it seems some people want to.
