acd16eadf5 Change --with-pltcl-unknown to --enable-pltcl-unknown 2001-05-09 19:41:57 +00:00
Bruce Momjian
f7659a9c18 This patch adds a new configure option --with-pltcl-unknown which
enables pltcl unknown support.


Also it adds substituting of tclsh with tclsh that was by configure in
pltcl_*mod scripts. For example, On freebsd, tclsh can be called
tclsh8.2 or
tclsh8.3 depending on installed version of Tcl.

After patching files
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_listmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_loadmod
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_delmod
must be renamed(copied,repocopied) to
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_listmod.in
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_loadmod.in
  src/pl/tcl/modules/pltcl_delmod.in

a79b698adb Here's a version of my suggested diffs transplanted to 7.1 beta 5. I'm
still looking at the best way to integrate Tom Vijlbrief's fixes
(insofar as they're still needed); would 7.2 be a suitable time for
incompatible API changes?


Jeroen


Changes:

(*) Introduced bool, true, false (replacing some int, 1, 0)
(*) Made some member functions const
(*) Documented GetIsNull()
(*) Marked DisplayTuples() and PrintTuples() as obsolescent; fixed possible
    portability problem (assumed that NULL pointer equals all-zero bit pattern)
(*) PrintTuples(): renamed width parameter to fillAlign to conform with other
    usage; fixed memory leak and compile issue w.r.t. field separator (should
    also slightly improve performance)
(*) Fixed some minor compilation issues
(*) Moved "using namespace std;" out of headers, where they didn't belong; used
    new (temporary) preprocessor macro PGSTD to do this
(*) Made ToString() static, removed unneeded memset(), made buffer size adapt
    to sizeof(int)
(*) Made some constructors explicit
(*) Changed some const std::string & parameters to plain std::string
(*) Marked PgCursor::Cursor(std::string) as obsolescent (setter with same name
    as getter--bad style)
(*) Renamed some paramaters previously named "string"
(*) Introduced size_type typedef for number of tuples in result set
(*) PgTransaction now supports re-opening after closing, and aborts if not
    explicitly committed prior to destruction

1ef9338ab6 If it's true that the ALTER TABLE x ADD CONSTRAINT x CHECK (x) syntax is
supported in 7.1.1, here is a patch to that alter_table.sgml that documents
it.

6cda3ad8fe Cause planner to make use of average-column-width statistic that is now
collected by ANALYZE.  Also, add some modest amount of intelligence to
guesses that are used for varlena columns in the absence of any ANALYZE
statistics.  The 'width' reported by EXPLAIN is finally something less
than totally bogus for varlena columns ... and, in consequence, hashjoin
estimating should be a little better ...

04e14fa350 drop_function.sgml:
===================
In Notes:
 Refer to CREATE FUNCTION for information on creating aggregate functions.
                                                      ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I assume it must read C function instead.

In Compatibility SQL/PSM:
 SQL/PSM is a proposed standard.

 We had that before: remove proposed.


drop_index.sgml:
================
<REFNAME>: Removes existing indexes from a database

as far as I can see index should be singular. The command description is
written as if only one index can be removed at a time. Interestingly
enough, in v7.0.2 it was in fact singular. Am I mistaken here?

drop_operator.sgml:
===================
In Outputs the arguments are referred to as type and type2, but the synopsis
and Inputs section these are left_type and right_type, respectively. Also,
oper is used in Outputs versus id in Inputs/Synopsis. In the translation I
follow the replaceables used in the Inputs/Synopsis part.

f905d65ee3 Rewrite of planner statistics-gathering code. ANALYZE is now available as
a separate statement (though it can still be invoked as part of VACUUM, too).
pg_statistic redesigned to be more flexible about what statistics are
stored.  ANALYZE now collects a list of several of the most common values,
not just one, plus a histogram (not just the min and max values).  Random
sampling is used to make the process reasonably fast even on very large
tables.  The number of values and histogram bins collected is now
user-settable via an ALTER TABLE command.

There is more still to do; the new stats are not being used everywhere
they could be in the planner.  But the remaining changes for this project
should be localized, and the behavior is already better than before.

A not-very-related change is that sorting now makes use of btree comparison
routines if it can find one, rather than invoking '<' twice.

SQL/PSM had been published on 1996-12-15 as ISO/IEC 9075:4. So you
might want to update that section.

341cb70044 The following patch updates the FAQ_AIX and makes C++ code work with
more recent versions of the IBM C++ compiler (now called VisualAge C++).
The C++ part was previously broken (g++ and xlC), thus this is zero risk.
Only AIX specific parts are touched (1 Makefile.shlib line (link with $(COMPILER
) instead
of $(CC) and one shell script line (parameter -C to nm to not demangle C++ symbo
ls for
.exp file)).

I thus ask you to please apply this patch before release.

With or without this patch RC1 on AIX 4.3.2 RS6000 passes "gmake check" for both
 the native
compiler vac.C 5.0.1 and gcc 2.95.2 :-)

40dc76e315 Recommend CREATE TABLE AS in preference to SELECT INTO. Remove the
(inadequate anyway) mention of SELECT INTO from the main SELECT ref page.
Point out that SELECT INTO means something else in plpgsql and ecpg.

9d645fd84c Support syncing WAL log to disk using either fsync(), fdatasync(),
O_SYNC, or O_DSYNC (as available on a given platform).  Add GUC parameter
to control sync method.
Also, add defense to XLogWrite to prevent it from going nuts if passed
a target write position that's past the end of the buffers so far filled
by XLogInsert.
