Fixes a bug in the rule system that caused a crashing
backend when a join-view with calculated column is used
in subselect.
Modifies EXPLAIN to explain rewritten queries instead of
the plain SeqScan on a view. Rules can produce very deep

src/Makefile.shlib. Updated all the makefiles that try to build shlibs
to include that file instead of having duplicate (and mostly incomplete)
copies of shared-library options. It works on HPUX, a lot better than it
did before in fact, but there's a chance I broke some other platforms.
At least now you only have to fix one place not six...
Get the permissions right, don't overwrite real files with symlinks, etc.
plpgsql and odbc still aren't fully up to speed, but at least they don't crash and burn...
problem:
'tclsh' still had to be found even if --with-libs (or
--with-libraries) was
specified to configure.
--with-libs is really an overloaded option. It really should only be used
to specify additions directories to search in order to file needed
libraries. It was also being used to locate the *Config.sh files.

libtcl has been installed as a non-shared library. pltcl cannot be
built in that situation; we want to do nothing and let the overall Postgres
build complete, rather than failing.
DataDir is set after read_pg_options if postgres is called
interactively. If postgres is forked by postgres DataDir is read from
the PGDATA enviromnent variable set by the postmaster and this explains
while the bug disappears. I have written this patch but I don't like
it. Any better idea?

compile out of the tar file on Solaris with the SUN 5.0 compilers.
These compilers will be needed if you wan to compile the libpg++
interface without using the gcc/g++. The SC4.2 compilers do not
understand the string class.
The first patch changes the ecpg intermediate shared library
name from *.sho to *.sho.o so that the SUN compiler will
allow it to be used in conjunction with the -o option.

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.
do not configure in the perl5 interface.
the perl5 interface needs to be installed under /usr/local/lib/perl5/*, which
is generally owned by root. This allows a non-root build/install with the
only root requirement being the make/install of hte perl5 stuff...
When importing an image into the database, the example now fires off a
new
Thread, which imports the image in the background. This also means that
the application doesn't freeze on the user, and they can still browse
the
images in the database, while the upload is running.
This now makes the ImageViewer a true example on how to use Threads (the
threadtest class is just that - a test).

following patches fix the problems (i.e., all regression tests pass)
in what I hope to be a platform-independent fashion. The accomplish

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.
newly-updated SGML reference pages, so I just inserted a comment that they
are obsolete. If you want to transcribe the newer info into these pages,
be my guest.
important step towards making the driver compliant, and means that for
some Java applications and servlets, only a single database connection
is
needed, so in a sence this is a nice little show stopper for 6.4 (and
should still be backward compatible to 6.3.2).

Here are two new patches for the Win32 support.
1) The patch based on the one from Hiroshi Inoue [Inoue@tpf.co.jp], to
load
Winsock.dll from libpq.dll.
2) A patch for psql.c to remove the call to WSAStartup(), since it is
not
required when it's done in libpq.dll.
I'm still looking for the possibility of having a crypt() function in
libpq.dll too, the same way getopt was included. Any chance of getting
this
before 6.4, or should we wait for the next one?

Use @top-srcdir@ to find the right Makefile.global and use ODBCSRCDIR
to point to this local directory.
Move non-platform-specific stuff to outside the if clauses.
Still need to move all platform-specific stuff to the templates.
Before, "make install" did not run the lextest.
Fix up the ODBC make from this main configure.
Include configure test for "ln -s" in Makefile.global.in.
Was always in configure, just not carried through to here for use.
to get rid of unused variables.
Get clean compile on Linux (Thomas and Gerald).
Implement autoconf/configure for standalone builds and use the existing
autoconf/configure system when in the Postgres source tree.
Code tests and functions with ApplixWare-4.4.1beta on a Linux box.
Changes should be backward compatible with WIN32 but still needs testing.
Is it too late to add a feature to pg_dump for 6.4??
I just spent most of the day learning pg_dump and modifing it so it
would
dump views also.
This is the first time I have ever contributed any code changes, so I'm
not sure of how to submit it.
The diff's and a readme as a tgz file are attached.

regression test on a FreeBSD box with both non-MULTIBYTE and
MULTIBYTE-enabled, and confirmed that the results are same.
However I do not tested on PCs(I don't have access to win). Please let
me know if the patches break anything on PCs.
Also please note that the patch for varchar.c is a fix for a nasty bug
of char(n) types that I introduced and I believe at least this should
be applied.

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.
Check strdup calls for out of memory.
Set library version to 2.6.2
Synced preproc.y and keywords.c with gram.y and keywords.c yet again.
Set version to 2.4.3

Formerly did so only for those which clearly required it, but that
would still miss things like reserved key words which also require it.
Implement the "-n" switch to revert the double quote behavior
to put DQs only where there is more than lower-case, digits,
and underscores.
for against a just updated CVS tree. It contains
Partial new rewrite system that handles subselects, view
aggregate columns, insert into select from view, updates
with set col = view-value and select rules restriction to
view definition.
Updates for rule/view backparsing utility functions to
handle subselects correct.
New system views pg_tables and pg_indexes (where you can
see the complete index definition in the latter one).
Enabling array references on query parameters.
Bugfix for functional index.
Little changes to system views pg_rules and pg_views.
The rule system isn't a release-stopper any longer.
But another stopper is that I don't know if the latest
changes to PL/pgSQL (not already in CVS) made it compile on
AIX. Still wait for some response from Dave.
Jan
parameters. With it applied a function like
CREATE FUNCTION getname(oid8, int4) RETURNS name AS
'SELECT typname FROM pg_type WHERE oid = $1[$2]'
LANGUAGE 'sql';
is possible. Mainly I need this to enable array references in
expressions for PL/pgSQL. Complete regression test ran O.K.

spin-locks. Notice that it's now inline assembler in s_lock.h,
rather than seperate code in s_lock.c. It also shrank a little
bit... Just rip out the S_LOCK() define and insert the tas() inline
function. Please let me know if there are any problems with it.

and what wasn't. Also try to improve the comments so that doesn't happen
again. Changed SIGPIPE handling to SIG_IGN so that if frontend quits,
we will finish out the current command and return to main loop before
quitting. This seems much safer than a forced abort mid-command.
Add "timestamp" to list of tokens in keywords.c.
Before, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE did not actually parser.
Reorder token lists to be more alphabetical.
Remove ARCHIVE keyword which was deprecated in v6.3.
here is the patch that includes PL/pgSQL into the build
(currently with make errors ignored) and adds a regression
test for it. A clean build and regression ran fine here.
Can you please apply it?
The tar should be extracted in /usr/local/src/pgsql and
creates the following files:
src/pl/Makefile
called by toplevel GNUmakefile and for now only calls
src/pl/plpgsql/Makefile
src/pl/plpgsql/Makefile
calls src/pl/plpgsql/src/Makefile (here the call to
make ignores build errors - this must be changed
later for the final release).
src/test/regress/input/install_plpgsql.source
SQL script installing PL/pgSQL language in regression
database. Will be modified by .../input/Makefile to
point to correct PGLIB directory where plpgsql.so
gets installed.
src/test/regress/output/install_plpgsql.source
expected output for installation script.
src/test/regress/sql/plpgsql.sql
the main regression test. It tests functions and
triggers written in PL/pgSQL including views that use
supportfunctions in this language.
src/test/regress/expected/plpgsql.out
the expected output for the above regression test.
make_plpgsql.diff
patch that adds some lines to
src/GNUmakefile.in
src/test/regress/expected/Makefile
src/test/regress/input/Makefile
src/test/regress/output/Makefile
src/test/regress/sql/Makefile
src/test/regress/sql/tests
test passes. Interestingly, the fix involves no changes or special
cases in the union test and actually removes a special case for the
numerology test. Thus, following the strategy outlined below is a
definite improvement over the previous situation.

* It works under both Tcl 7.6 and Tcl 8.0 now. (The code claims to
work under Tcl 7.5 as well, but I have no way to test that ---
if anyone still cares, please check it with 7.5.)
* pg_listen suppresses extra LISTEN commands and correctly sends an
UNLISTEN when the last listen request for a relation is cancelled.
(Note this means it will not work with pre-6.4 backends, but that
was true already because it depends on the current libpq, which
only speaks protocol 2.0.)
* Added -error option to pg_result so that there's some way to find
out what you did wrong ;-)
* Miscellaneous cleanups of code comments and overenthusiastic #includes.
BTW, I bumped the package version number from 1.2 to 1.3. Is this
premature? Does someone run around and do that routinely before
each pgsql release?

prompt_for_password code that psql does. We fixed psql a month or
two back to permit usernames and passwords longer than 8 characters.
I propagated the same fix into pg_dump.

Change DEFAULT NULL to send back a NULL pointer
rather than a string "NULL". This seems to work, where sending
the string led to type conversion problems (and probably the wrong
thing anyway).
rather than func_select_candidate().
Fix oper_select_candidate() to work with a single operator argument.
Repair left operator checking for null return from candidate list.
as, if not installing as root (which nobody *should* be doing, of course),
the perl install fails, which means that both bin and man directories
are not installed :(
This way, only thing that doesn't get installed is perl interface...
compiler to
attempt to compile libpq++. The patches address the following problems:
1. In my first pass at changing the libpq++ makefile, I forgot to
include the
PORTNAME in the Makefile.in file.
2. The UnixWare 7 C++ compiler did not like the '-K alloca' option in
CXXFLAGS.

implementations of strtol() treat empty strings ("") as invalid arguments
while others convert this (erroneously, IHMO) to zero (0). Assuming that the
expected behaviour of pg_atoi() is to return 0 if it is passed an empty
string, I am supplying the following patch to explictly check for an empty
string in pg_atoi() and return 0 if the string is empty. The patch will also
trap a NULL character pointer being passed to pg_atoi() and will use elog() to
print out an error message if the input char pointer is NULL.

1. The UnixWare tas macro was reformatted (by indent or it like?) which caused
it to break. The asm macro construct is very particular about the %mem
construct -- it has to start in column 1.
2. When compiling libpq++, g++ was used even if configure found the C++ com-
piler to be CC.
3. When compiling libpq++, '-Wno-error' was added to CXXFLAGS, even if the
compiler wasn't g++.
