that not many people actually use libpq on Win32; I have found another bug. Some
functions that are defined in libpq-fe.h aren't exported in the DLL version of
the library. I have added them to src/interfaces/libpq/libpqdll.def. The new
complete file is attached.

the jdbc driver to ignore the encoding reported by the database when
multibyte isn't enabled and use the JVM default in that case.

prefers the style of the attached patch to solve the above problem.
I feel that this solution is particularly appropriate in this case
because the following:
PglargeType
PgType
PgQueryType
are already being handled in the way that I am proposing for PgSourceType.

value of DESTDIR like the rest (or at least most) of the PostgreSQL
makefiles. I found this problem when trying to package a pre-built
Cygwin PostgreSQL distribution, but this problem is platform independent.
The problem manifests itself when one tries to install into a stagging
area (e.g., to build a tarball) instead of a real install. In this case,
pg.py and _pgmodule$(SO) still end up being installed in the configured
prefix directory ignoring the value of DESTDIR.
Unfortunately, this patch does not handle the case where PostgreSQL
and Python are configured with different prefixes. Since the Python
Makefile is automatically generated and does not use DESTDIR, I believe
that this issue will be difficult to correct. If anyone has ideas on
how to fix this issue, then I'm quite willing to rework the patch to
take the suggestion into account.

under Cygwin. The root cause of this problem is that (Sun) java is a
native Win32 app and hence does not understand Cygwin Posix style paths.
The solution is to use Cygwin's cygpath utility to convert the Posix style
JDBC installation directory path into a Win32 one before invoking ant.
I'm not sure if my patch is the best way to correct this issue but
my goal was to confine the Cygwin specific constructs to

(1.22) of interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc2/ResultSet.java. That
change removed a line that set the variable s to the value of the
stringbuffer. This fix changes the following if checks to check the
length of the stringbuffer instead of s, since s no longer contains the
string the if conditions are expecting.
The bug manifests itself in getTimestamp() loosing the timezone
information of timestamps selected from the database, thereby causing
the time to be incorrect.

Here's what I came up with. The biggest difference api between JDK1.x and
later versions is the support for collections. The problem was with the
Vector class; in jdk1.x there is no method called add, so I changed the
calls to addElement. Also no addAll, so I rewrote the method slightly to not
require addAll. While reviewing this I notices some System.out.println
statements that weren't commented out. So I commented them out in both
versions.
The upshot of all of this is that I have clean compile, but no idea if the
code works ;(

out the following bug: if database has views then getTables() gets the null
pointer exception ('order by relname' makes the listing tree in
DbVisualizer a lot useful !!)
This patch should propably be applied to the the jdbc1's
DatabaseMetaData.java, too.

not properly handle 8-bit unsigned data as it blindly
casts the byte to an int, which java most helpfully
promotes to a signed type. This causes problems when
you can only return -1 to indicated EOF.
The following patch fixes the bug and has been tested
locally on image data.
