1) adds NetBSD shared lib support on both ELF and a.out platforms
2) replaces "-L$(LIBPQDIR) -lpq" with "$(LIBPQ)" defined in
Makefile.global. This makes it much easier to build stuff in
the source tree after you've already installed the libraries.
3) adds TEMPLATEDIR in Makefile.global that indicates where the
database templates are stored. This separates the template files
from real libraries that are installed in $(LIBDIR).
4) changes include order of <readline/readline.h> and <readline.h>.
The latest GNU readline installs its headers under a readline
subdirectory.
In addition to applying the patch below the following files need to be copied:
backend/port/dynloader:
bsd.h -> netbsd.h
bsd.c -> netbsd.c
include/port:
bsd.h -> netbsd.h
makefiles:
Makefile.bsd -> Makefile.netbsd
It would be great to see this incorporated into the source tree before
the 7.0 release is cut.
Thanks!

2. Regression tests fail for types int2 and int4 (which can easily be
fixed by adding entries to resultmap) aswell as float8 and geometry,
where floating point numbers appear to be rounded a little differently
than in your expected results (besides that I also need the positive
zeros file). I'm including a patch for the first 2, but I don't know
whether the latter two are actually a bug in postgres or a bug in the
OS or even allowed difference. I'm including my results for reference.

Added constraint dumping capability to pg_dump (also from Stephan)
Fixed DROP TABLE -> RelationBuildTriggers: 2 record(s) not found for rel
error.
Fixed little error in gram.y I made the last days.

Initdb help correction
Changed end/abort to commit/rollback and changed related notices
Commented out way old printing functions in libpq
Fixed a typo in alter table / alter column
Attached is a patch which patches cleanly against the Sunday afternoon
snapshot. It modifies pg_dump to dump COMMENT ON statements for
user-definable descriptions. In addition, it also modifies comment.c so
that the operator behavior is as Peter E. would like: a comment on an
operator is applied to the underlying function.
Thanks,

oidvector/int2vector. pg_dump code was assuming that it would see
exactly FUNC_MAX_ARGS integers in the string returned by the backend.
That's no longer true. (Perhaps that change wasn't such a good idea
after all --- will it break any other applications??)
I finally got around to schlepping through pg_dump, to finish what I started
about three months (or more) ago. Attached is a gzipped diff file to apply
in the bin/pg_dump directory. This should remove all string length
dependencies, except one, which I'm working on. It has been through some
rudimentary unit testing, but that's about it, so if any of you would give
it a more strenuous run-through, I'd be grateful for the feedback.
Cheers...

I sending promised patch with:
* getopt_long() - for pg_dump (portable)
* and "Usage: " changes in scripts in src/bin/
- this changes are cosmetic only, not change any
feature ...etc.
All PostgreSQL routines (scripts) support now long options and
help's output is alike for all scripts and all support -? or --help.

Make all system indexes unique.
Make all cache loads use system indexes.
Rename *rel to *relid in inheritance tables.
Rename cache names to be clearer.
now that sequence names are properly quoted for field defaults, mixed
case sequence names are generated. These are properly quoted in the
CREATE SEQUENCE lines, but not in the SELECT nextval lines, as per
below:
CREATE SEQUENCE "Teams_TeamID_seq" start 10 increment 1 maxvalue
2147483647 minvalue 1 cache 1 ;
SELECT nextval ('Teams_TeamID_seq');
This needs to be:
SELECT nextval ('"Teams_TeamID_seq"');

1. check whether the program is being executed in $PGDATA/.. This is
necessary if the data tree is not in the standard place, as is the
case with the Debian distribution (because of Debian policy).
2. give a clearer error message if the dumped data structure fails to
be loaded.

syntax for CREATE OPERATOR with SORT parameters. Fixed.
It is now actually possible to dump and reload a database containing
fully specified user-definable operators ...
elements prior to CREATEing new ones. It is under control of the -c
command line option (with the default being status quo).
The DROP TRIGGER portion still needs implementation. Anyone able to
help clarify what exactly the CREATE TRIGGER portion does so I can fix
this?
Again, I have tried this with tables/indexes/sequences, but do not
have other schema elements in my database. As a result, I am not 100%
convinced that I got the syntax correct in all cases (but think I did,
nonetheless). If anyone can check the other cases, I'd appreciate it.
Cheers,

unless necessary.
Label internal bpchar types as "character" and varchar types as
"character varying" to be less Postgres-specific. These types map to
the SQL92 definitions anyway.
Redefine g_force_quotes to be the local variable force_quotes.
Pass this as an argument to fmtId().
These should help with handling the single-byte internal "char" type.

Apply patch from Oliver Elphick to not dump inherited constraints.
Apply patch from Constantin Teodorescu to dump table definitions with a
readable layout.
This is the default, but the new flag will allow overriding an alias,
for example. So psql -n -N will put in the double quotes,
and psql -n can be an alias for psql.
Also, add a few braces around a nested single-line conditional construct
to suppress compiler warnings about "an ambiguous else".
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

This is the first time I have ever contributed any code changes, so I'm
not sure of how to submit it.

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.
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.

structs from libpq-fe.h, as we previously discussed.
There turned out to be sloppy coding practices in more places than
I had realized :-(, but all in all I think it was a well-worth-while
exercise.
I ended up adding several routines to libpq's API in order to respond
to application requirements that were exposed by this work. I owe the
docs crew updates for libpq.sgml to describe these changes. I'm way too
tired to work on the docs tonight, however.
This is the last major change I intend to submit for 6.4. I do want
to see if I can make libpgtcl work with Tcl 8.0 before we go final,
but hopefully that will be a minor bug fix.
ODBC driver have found a bug in 6.3.2 pg_dump and have made patches.
I confirmed that the same bug still exists in the current source
tree. So I made up patches based on Kataoka's. Here are some
explanations.
o fmtId() returns pointer to a static memory in it. In the meantime
there is a line where is fmtId() called twice without saving the
first value returned by fmtId(). So second call to fmtId() will
break the first one.
o findTableByName() looks up a table by its name. if a table name
contanins upper letters or non ascii chars, fmtId() will returns
a name quoted in double quotes, which will not what findTableByName()
wants. The result is SEG fault. -- Tatsuo Ishii t-ishii@sra.co.jp
if MULTIBYTE is not enabled. So be sure to run initdb.
o these patches are made against the latest source tree (after
Bruce's massive patch, I think) BTW, I noticed that after running
regression, the oid field of pg_type seems disappeared.
regression=> select oid from pg_type; ERROR: attribute
'oid' not found
this happens after the constraints test. This occures with/without
my patches. strange...
o pg_database_mb.h, pg_class_mb.h, pg_attribute_mb.h are no longer
used, and shoud be removed.
o GetDatabaseInfo() in utils/misc/database.c removed (actually in
#ifdef 0). seems nobody uses.
t-ishii@sra.co.jp
of days --- it was emitting stuff like
REVOKE ALL on 'table' from PUBLIC; GRANT ALL on "table" to
"Public"; neither of which work. While I was at it I
cleaned up a few other things:
* \connect commands are issued only in -z mode. In this way,
reloading a pg_dump script made without -z will generate a simple
database wholly owned by the invoking user, rather than a mishmash
of tables owned by various people but lacking in access rights.
(Analogy: cp versus cp -p.)
* \connect commands are issued just before COPY FROM stdin commands;
without this, reloading a database containing non-world-writable
tables tended to fail because the COPY was not necessarily attempted
as the table owner.
* Redundant \connect commands are suppressed (each one costs a
backend launch, so...).
* Man page updated (-z wasn't ever documented).
The first two items were discussed in a pgsql-hackers thread around
6 May 98 ("An item for the TODO list: pg_dump and multiple table
owners") but no one had bothered to deal with 'em yet.

I see someone missed an ancient bit of shell-scripting lore:
on some older shells, if your script's argument list is empty,
then "$@" generates an empty-string word rather than no word
at all. You need to write ${1+"$@"} to get the latter behavior.
(Read your shell man page to see exactly how that works,
but it does the Right Thing on every Bourne shell.)
In particular, pg_dumpall fails when invoked without any switches
on HPUX 9.*, because pg_dump gets an empty-string argument that it
thinks is the name of the database to dump. I expect this bug
also affects some other OSes, but couldn't tell you just which ones.
Patch attached.
I have implemented a framework of encoding translation between the
backend and the frontend. Also I have added a new variable setting
command:
SET CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'encoding';
Other features include:
Latin1 support more 8 bit cleaness

syntax that can be read back in with psql. I did this by adding
a
"-c" switch that controls moving the CONTSTRAINT statements inside
the CREATE TABLE statements and adding () around the CHECK arguments.

Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.
It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.
This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )
This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.
Please review and apply,
Cheers,

yyerror ones from bison. It also includes a few 'enhancements' to
the C programming style (which are, of course, personal).
The other patch removes the compilation of backend/lib/qsort.c, as
qsort() is a standard function in stdlib.h and can be used any
where else (and it is). It was only used in
backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_pool.c, backend/optimizer/path/predmig.c,
and backend/storage/page/bufpage.c

There's more to come. Please review these patches. I ran the

Subject: [PATCHES] pg_dump memory leak patch
This patch fixes a HUGE memory leak problem in pg_dump.
Pretty much anything that was allocated was never freed and Purify
reported about 40% possible memory leak and 6% actual leak. I added
functions to clear out all the allocated structures. After the patch
Purify returns 0 for number of bytes leaked...
Subject: [PATCHES] Three small patches.
Hi,
Here are 3 small patches to the postgreSQL source sup'd on
the 6th May 1997.
The 1st 2 fix the shell backslash "c" handling used to suppress
the newline on some unix shells. (The \c needs to be inside quote.)
The 3rd may or may not be the correct way to fix the missing
define of INDEX_MAX_KEYS in pg_dump.h
FreeBSD
The Makefile(s) have all been cleaned up such that there is a single
LDFLAGS vs LD_ADD or LDADD or LDFLAGS or LDFLAGS_BE. The Makefile(s)
should be alot more straightforward then they were before...and
consistent
Add a check to configure for strdup
Remove all the '-ltermcap' checks from psql/Makefile
Have {psql,pg_dump}/Makefile modified if strdup doesn't exist on the system

|Dates are dumped and restored OK with pg_dump in V6

|We'll still need to fix the dump in both cases if the original dump is from V1.09.
From Keith Parks
It adds a WITH OIDS option to the copy command, which allows
dumping and loading of oids.
If a copy command tried to load in an oid that is greater than
its current system max oid, the system max oid is incremented. No
checking is done to see if other backends are running and have cached
oids.
pg_dump as its first step when using the -o (oid) option, will
copy in a dummy row to set the system max oid value so as rows are
loaded in, they are certain to be lower than the system oid.
pg_dump now creates indexes at the end to speed loading

pg_dump and load to 2.0. I haven't gotten any feedback on whether
people want it, so I am submitting it for others to decide. I would
recommend an install in 1.02.1.
I had said that the 2.0 pg_dump could dump a 1.02.1 database, but I was
wrong. The copy is actually performed by the backend, and the 2.0
database will not be able to read 1.02.1 databases because of the new
system columns.
This patch does several things. It copies nulls out as \N, so they can
be distinguished from '' strings. It fixes a problem where backslashes
in the input stream were not output as double-backslashes. Without this
patch, backslashes copied out were deleted upon input, or interpreted as
special characters. Third, input is now terminated by backslash-period.
This can not be part of a normal input stream.
I tested this by creating a database with all sorts of nulls, backslash,
and period fields and dumped the database and reloaded into a new
database and compared them.
