- More TestCases implemented. Refined the test suite api's.
- Removed need for SimpleDateFormat in ResultSet.getDate() improving
performance.
- Rewrote ResultSet.getTime() so that it uses JDK api's better.
Tue Feb 13 10:25:00 GMT 2001 peter@retep.org.uk
- Added MiscTest to hold reported problems from users.
- Fixed PGMoney.
- JBuilder4/JDBCExplorer now works with Money fields. Patched Field &
ResultSet (lots of methods) for this one. Also changed cash/money to
return type DOUBLE not DECIMAL. This broke JBuilder as zero scale
BigDecimal's can't have decimal places!
- When a Statement is reused, the previous ResultSet is now closed.
- Removed deprecated call in ResultSet.getTime()
Thu Feb 08 18:53:00 GMT 2001 peter@retep.org.uk
- Changed a couple of settings in DatabaseMetaData where 7.1 now
supports those features
- Implemented the DatabaseMetaData TestCase.
Wed Feb 07 18:06:00 GMT 2001 peter@retep.org.uk
- Added comment to Connection.isClosed() explaining why we deviate from
the JDBC2 specification.
- Fixed bug where the Isolation Level is lost while in autocommit mode.
- Fixed bug where several calls to getTransactionIsolationLevel()
returned the first call's result.

another client is currently in the authentication cycle). This avoids
wastage of open descriptors in a child. It might also explain peculiar

1) initialized pg_version by DSN's protocol info

2) provided a few macros to encapsulate connection's

- Some minor additions to Statement to make our own extensions more
portable.
- Statement.close() will now call ResultSet.close() rather than just
dissasociating with it.
- Fixed bug where Statement.setMaxRows() was a global setting. Now

- Changed LargeObject.read(byte[],int,int) to return the actual number
of bytes read (used to be void).
- LargeObject now supports InputStream's!
- PreparedStatement.setBinaryStream() now works!
- ResultSet.getBinaryStream() now returns an InputStream that doesn't
copy the blob into memory first!
- Connection.isClosed() now tests to see if the connection is still alive

1) Oops. Spelled fcntl.h wrong in the last one. D'uh.

3) Changed makefiles to use "/MD" and link both psql and libpq.dll against
MSVCRT.DLL instead of a static library. This takes care of the

either the rule action, the rule qual, or the original query qual that

the rule action already has a jointree entry for OLD.
regression tests for Pgsql 7.1beta3 pass. This is very similr to the one I

problems with char array sizes having set a couple of constants to 0 for
unlimited query length and row length. This additional patch cleans those
problems up by defining a new constant (STD_STATEMENT_LEN) to 65536 and
using that in place of MAX_STATEMENT_LEN.
Another constant (MAX_MESSAGE_LEN) was defined as 2*BLCKSZ, but is now
65536. This is used to define the length of the message buffer in a number
of places and as I understand it (probably not that well!) therefore also
places a limit on the query length. Fixing this properly is beyond my
capabilities but 65536 should hopefully be large enough for most people.

to the use of getpwuid when running in standalone mode.
this patch allocates some persistent storage (using
strdup) to store the username obtained with getpwuid
in src/backend/main/main.c. this is necessary because
later on, getpwuid is called again (in ValidateBinary).
the man pages for getpwuid on SCO OpenServer, FreeBSD,
and Darwin all have words to this effect (this is from
the SCO OpenServer man page):
Note
====
All information is contained in a static area, so it must
be copied if it is to be saved. Otherwise, it may be
overwritten on subsequent calls to these routines.
in particular, on my platform, the storage used to hold
the pw_name from the first call is overwritten such that
it looks like an empty username. this causes a problem
later on in SetSessionUserIdFromUserName.
i'd assume this isn't a problem on most platforms because
getpwuid is called with the same UID both times, and the
same thing ends up happening to that static storage each
time. however, that's not guaranteed, and is _not_ what
happens on my platform (at least :).
this is for the version of 7.1 available via anon cvs as

and psql) again. Changes are:
1) psql requires the includes of "io.h" and "fcntl.h" in command.c in order
to make a call to open() work (io.h for _open(), fcntl.h for the O_xxx)
2) PG_VERSION is no longer defined in version.h[.in], but in configure.in.
Since we don't do configure on native win32, we need to put it in
config.h.win32 :-(
3) Added define of SYSCONFDIR to config.h.win32 - libpq won't compile
without it. This functionality is *NOT* tested - it's just defined as "" for
now. May work, may not.
4) DEF_PGPORT renamed to DEF_PGPORT_STR
I have done the "basic tests" on it - it connects to a database, and I can
run queries. Haven't tested any of the fancier functions (yet).
However, I stepped on a much bigger problem when fixing psql to work. It no
longer works when linked against the .DLL version of libpq (which the
Makefile does for it). I have left it linked against this version anyway,
pending the comments I get on this mail :-)
The problem is that there are strings being allocated from libpq.dll using
PQExpBuffers (for example, initPQExpBuffer() on line 92 of input.c). These
are being allocated using the malloc function used by libpq.dll. This
function *may* be different from the malloc function used by psql.exe - only
the resulting pointer must be valid. And with the default linking methods,
it *WILL* be different. Later, psql.exe tries to free() this string, at
which point it crashes because the free() function can't find the allocated
block (it's on the allocated blocks list used by the runtime lib of
libpq.dll).
Shouldn't the right thing to do be to have psql call termPQExpBuffer() on
the data instead? As it is now, gets_fromFile() will just return the pointer
received from the PQExpBuffer.data (this may well be present at several
places - this is the one I was bitten by so far). Isn't that kind of
"accessing the internals of the PQExpBuffer structure" wrong? Instead,
perhaps it shuold make a copy of the string, adn then termPQExpBuffer() it?
In that case, the string will have been allocated from within the same
library as the free() is called.
I can get it to work just fine by doing this - changing from (around line
100 of input.c):
and the same a bit further down in the same function.
But, as I said above, this may be at more places in the code? Perhaps
someone more familiar to it could comment on that?
What do you think shuld be done about this? Personally, I go by the "If you
allocate a piece of memory using an interface, use the same interface to
free it", but the question is how to make it work :-)
Also, AFAIK this only affects psql.exe, so the changes made to the libpq
this patch are required no matter how the other issue is handled.

Magnus
than forcing 'plain'. This probably does not matter right now, but I
think it needs to be consistent with the regular (not-functional) index
case, where attstorage is copied from the underlying table. Clean up
some other dead and infelicitous code too.
Op, so that the sequence 'a_expr Op Op a_expr' will be parsed as
a_expr Op (Op a_expr) not (a_expr Op) Op a_expr as formerly. In other
words, prefer treating user-defined operators as prefix operators to
treating them as postfix operators, when there is an ambiguity.
Also clean up a couple of other infelicities in production priority
assignment --- for example, BETWEEN wasn't being given the intended
priority, but that of AND.
Query used for checking foreign key triggers
returns too many results when there're more than one foreign
key in a table. It happens because only table's oid is used to
link between pg_trigger with INSERT check and pg_trigger with
UPDATE/DELETE check.
I think there should be enough to add following conditions
into WHERE clause of that query:
AND pt.tgconstrname = pg_trigger.tgconstrname
AND pt.tgconstrname = pg_trigger_1.tgconstrname
/Constantin
bothering to check the return value --- which meant that in case the
update or delete failed because of a concurrent update, you'd not find
out about it, except by observing later that the transaction produced
the wrong outcome. There are now subroutines simple_heap_update and
simple_heap_delete that should be used anyplace that you're not prepared
to do the full nine yards of coping with concurrent updates. In
practice, that seems to mean absolutely everywhere but the executor,
because *noplace* else was checking.
attributes in a FieldSelect node --- all the places that manipulate
these work just fine with system attribute numbers. OK, it's a new
feature, so shoot me ...
eliminates a raft of portability issues, including whether sys_nerr
exists, whether the platform has any valid negative errnos, etc. The
downside is minimal: errno shouldn't ever contain an invalid value anyway,
and if it does, reasonably modern versions of strerror will not choke.
This rangecheck idea seemed good at the time, but it's clearly a net loss,
and I apologize to all concerned for having ever put it in.
rewrite of deadlock checking. Lock holder objects are now reachable from
the associated LOCK as well as from the owning PROC. This makes it
practical to find all the processes holding a lock, as well as all those
waiting on the lock. Also, clean up some of the grottier aspects of the
SHMQueue API, and cause the waitProcs list to be stored in the intuitive
direction instead of the nonintuitive one. (Bet you didn't know that
the code followed the 'prev' link to get to the next waiting process,
instead of the 'next' link. It doesn't do that anymore.)
here is the patch attached which do check in each BLOB operation, if we are
in transaction, and raise an error otherwise. This will prevent such mistakes.

of c.h altogether, and putting it into the only places that use it
(elog.c and exc.c), instead. Modify these routines to check for a
NULL or empty-string return from strerror, too, since some platforms
define strerror to return empty string for unknown errors (what a useless
definition that is ...). Clean up some cruft in ExcPrint while at it.
whitespace is unimportant in assembly code. Also, move VAX definition
of typedef slock_t to port header files to be like all the other ports.
Note that netbsd.h and openbsd.h are now identical, and I rather think
that freebsd.h is broken in the places where it doesn't agree --- but
I'll leave it to the freebsders to look at that.

- Applied patch submitted by John Schutz <schutz@austin.rr.com> that
fixed a bug with ANT's SQL functions (not needed for building but nice
to have fixed).
- Added new error message into errors.properties "postgresql.notsensitive"
This is used by jdbc2.ResultSet when a method is called that should
fetch the current value of a row from the database refreshRow() for
example.
- These methods no longer throw the not implemented but the new noupdate
error. This is in preparation for the Updateable ResultSet support
which will overide these methods by extending the existing class to
implement that functionality, but needed to show something other than
notimplemented:
moveToCurrentRow()
moveToInsertRow()
rowDeleted()
rowInserted()
all update*() methods, except those that took the column as a String
as they were already implemented to convert the String to an int.
- getFetchDirection() and setFetchDirection() now throws
"postgresql.notimp" as we only support one direction.
The CursorResultSet will overide this when its implemented.
- Created a new class under jdbc2 UpdateableResultSet which extends
ResultSet and overides the relevent update methods.
This allows us to implement them easily at a later date.
- In jdbc2.Connection, the following methods are now implemented:
createStatement(type,concurrency);
getTypeMap();
setTypeMap(Map);
- The JDBC2 type mapping scheme almost complete, just needs SQLInput &
SQLOutput to be implemented.
- Removed some Statement methods that somehow appeared in Connection.
- In jdbc2.Statement()
getResultSetConcurrency()
getResultSetType()
setResultSetConcurrency()
setResultSetType()
- Finally removed the old 6.5.x driver.
