The pg_trgm contrib module provides functions and index classes
for determining the similarity of text based on trigram
matching.
costing us lots more to maintain than it was worth. On shared tables
it was of exactly zero benefit because we couldn't trust it to be
up to date. On temp tables it sometimes saved an lseek, but not often
enough to be worth getting excited about. And the real problem was that
we forced an lseek on every relcache flush in order to update the field.
So all in all it seems best to lose the complexity.
conversion of basic ASCII letters. Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower. These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion. I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent. Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.
1. Fixed bug where sequences were being mirrored incorrectly if they
exceeded 127
2. Fixed a bug in the perl script with mirroring sequences(John
Burtenshaw sent an email to patches describing the bug in March but I
htink he forgot to attach his patch)
3. The dates/times in the transaction files will always use 2 digits.

results with tuples as ordinary varlena Datums. This commit does not
in itself do much for us, except eliminate the horrid memory leak
associated with evaluation of whole-row variables. However, it lays the
groundwork for allowing composite types as table columns, and perhaps
some other useful features as well. Per my proposal of a few days ago.
boxes. Change interface to user-defined GiST support methods union and
picksplit. Now instead of bytea struct it used special GistEntryVector
structure.
out to be the same problem reported by Cott Lang which the previous
patch resolved) a new bug was uncovered when running with a debug level
of greater than 1.
This patch resolves this new found bug and fixes some of the other
debugging output to be more consistent.
Please apply to both HEAD and the 7.4 branch.

script for Mac OS X. I added calls to utilize the bundled apache
rotatelogs script in the DB startup for log rotation. Also modified
startup parameters file to allow using the "SystemStarter" utility to
start/stop/restart postgres with a rotating log file.
The script credits David Wheeler, 2002. I wrote him a message about
the changes an he suggested I post them here. I explain some of the
changes below.
Not sure how to submit the changes. I have 3 files, "PostgreSQL"
script, "StartupParameters.plist" file, "pg_startupscript.diff" file.
The diff file was run against the original "PostgreSQL" script file.
I'll try attaching them to this message. If they get filtered I can
resend if needed.
Thanks.

------------------------------------
1) Changed the "Provides" parameter in StartupParameters.plist to
"PostgreSQL" from "postgres database" simply for ease of typing. It
seems that the SystemStarter utility uses the "Provides" value if you
want to control the script. This way I did not have to enclose it in
quotes on commandline. The modified StartupParameters.plist is now an
XML document also.
2) For the startup script I added 2 user modifiable variables:
# do you want to rotate the log files, 1=true 0=false
ROTATELOGS=1
# logfile rotate in seconds
ROTATESEC="604800"
I also added a non modifiable variable:
# The apache log rotation utility
LOGUTIL="/usr/sbin/rotatelogs"
I modified the StartService and RestartService functions to execute
the new commands if the user wants log rotation.

I have changed the name of the new parse function to xml_valid and fixed
a reference to SortMem which meant that the code as supplied would work
against 7.3 and 7.4 but wouldn't work in CVS.
and, dblink_fetch -- allows ERROR on remote side of connection to
throw NOTICE locally instead of ERROR. Also removed documentation for
previously deprecated, now removed, functions.
