3ce5c6f4d8 Maybe "shared_buffers" is a slightly better name than "shmem_buffers" for -B. 2000-08-28 11:57:41 +00:00

f03fc94e7d New configure test for flex, which recognizes only flex but does so in all
incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print
instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that
users can continue building anyway.

4c8d2f7f7b Clean up callers of AllocateFile and BasicOpenFile to ensure that
a reasonable error message (including the kernel errno message)
is reported on any file open failure.

5ba9d8c2d4 Change ReleaseLruFile() usage so that if we cannot release any more
virtual FDs, we just return the ENFILE/EMFILE error to the caller,
rather than immediate elog().  This allows more robust behavior in
the postmaster, which uses AllocateFile() but does not want elog().

662f6a557c Fix AC_FUNC_ACCEPT_ARGTYPES to accept `const struct sockaddr *' as second
argument, change the order of tests for the third argument to be safe
against missing prototypes, and make it fail hard if none of the
combinations succeed.

9314141116 Add pg-config utility that stores some configuration parameters other
packages can use to configure their build.

E.g.,
$ pg-config --libdir
/usr/local/pgsql/lib

`pg-config --configure' stores the configure command line.

3d3ca010aa Avoid creating a TOAST table if we can prove that the maximum tuple
length is < TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD, even with toastable column types
present.  For example, CREATE TABLE foo (f1 int, f2 varchar(100))
does not require a toast table, even though varchar is a toastable
type.

pg_mb2wchar(const unsigned char *, pg_wchar *);
       pg_mb2wchar_with_len(const unsigned char *, pg_wchar *, int);
from void to int. Now they return the number of
wide chars.

996832caee Make the location of the Kerberos server key file run time configurable
(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is
compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid()
if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system.

A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there
is one.

0147b1934f Fix a many-legged critter reported by chifungfan@yahoo.com: under the
right circumstances a hash join executed as a DECLARE CURSOR/FETCH
query would crash the backend.  Problem as seen in current sources was
that the hash tables were stored in a context that was a child of
TransactionCommandContext, which got zapped at completion of the FETCH
command --- but cursor cleanup executed at COMMIT expected the tables
to still be valid.  I haven't chased down the details as seen in 7.0.*
but I'm sure it's the same general problem.

e67ff6b670 fmgr interface mopup work. Use new DatumGetBool and BoolGetDatum
macros where appropriate (the code used to have several different ways
of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...).  Remove last few
references to float32 and float64 typedefs --- it's all float4/float8
now.  The typedefs themselves should probably stay in c.h for a release
or two, though, to avoid breaking user-written C functions.

b503cbe319 First pass at integrating BIT and BIT VARYING code from Adriaan Joubert.
Update functions to new-style fmgr, make BIT and VARBIT be binary-
equivalent, add entries to allow these types to be btree indexed,
correct a few bugs.  BIT/VARBIT are now toastable, too.
NOTE: initdb forced due to catalog updates.

37168b8da4 Clean up handling of variable-free qual clauses. System now does the
right thing with variable-free clauses that contain noncachable functions,
such as 'WHERE random() < 0.5' --- these are evaluated once per
potential output tuple.  Expressions that contain only Params are
now candidates to be indexscan quals --- for example, 'var = ($1 + 1)'
can now be indexed.  Cope with RelabelType nodes atop potential indexscan
variables --- this oversight prevents 7.0.* from recognizing some
potentially indexscanable situations.
