from bufmgr - it would be nice to have separate hash in smgr
for node <--> fd mappings, but for the moment it's easy to
add new hash to relcache.
Fixed small bug in xlog.c:ReadRecord.
as well allow DROP multiple INDEX, RULE, TYPE as well. Add missing
CommandCounterIncrement to DROP loop, which could cause trouble otherwise
with multiple DROP of items affecting same catalog entries. Try to
bring a little consistency to various error messages using 'does not exist',
'nonexistent', etc --- I standardized on 'does not exist' since that's
what the vast majority of the existing uses seem to be.
* Makefile: Add more standard targets. Improve shell redirection in GNU
make detection.
* src/backend/access/transam/rmgr.c: Fix incorrect(?) C.
* src/backend/libpq/pqcomm.c (StreamConnection): Work around accept() bug.
* src/include/port/unixware.h: ...with help from here.
* src/backend/nodes/print.c (plannode_type): Remove some "break"s after
"return"s.
* src/backend/tcop/dest.c (DestToFunction): ditto.
* src/backend/nodes/readfuncs.c: Add proper prototypes.
* src/backend/utils/adt/numutils.c (pg_atoi): Cope specially with strtol()
setting EINVAL. This saves us from creating an extra set of regression test
output for the affected systems.
* src/include/storage/s_lock.h (tas): Correct prototype.
* src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c (parseServiceInfo): Don't use variable
as dimension in array definition.

* src/template/unixware: same here
* src/test/regress/expected/abstime-solaris-1947.out: Adjust whitespace.
* src/test/regress/expected/horology-solaris-1947.out: Part of this file

Um, Bruce, I've said several times that I didn't think Perchine's large
object changes should be applied until someone had actually reviewed
them.
Makefile.port, since they are of no use to configure and much of the
library magic happens in Makefile.port anyway.
Use __alpha, not __alpha__, since the former is universally available.
Remove -DNOFIXADE from the compile command line and put it in the port
include file.
I tested it restoring my database with > 100000 BLOBS, and dumping it out.
But unfortunatly I can not restore it back due to problems in pg_dump.

source directory. This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".". (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)
Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS). Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.
This patch forces the use of 'DROP VIEW' to destroy views.
It also changes the syntax of DROP VIEW to
DROP VIEW v1, v2, ...
to match the syntax of DROP TABLE.
Some error messages were changed so this patch also includes changes to the
appropriate expected/*.out files.
Doc changes for 'DROP TABLE" and 'DROP VIEW' are included.

As a result, backend/libpq/pqcomm.c and interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c
fail to compile.
The <netinet/tcp.h> header needs to be preceded by <netinet/in.h>, at
least on IRIX, Solaris and AIX. The simple configure test fails.
(That header on Linux is idempotent.)
The basic problem is that <netinet/tcp.h> is a BSD header. The
correct header for TCP internals such as TCP_NODELAY on a UNIX system
is <xti.h>. By UNIX I mean UNIX95 (aka XPG4v2 or SUSv1) or later.
The current UNIX standard (UNIX98 aka SUSv2) is available online at
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/>.
The fix is to add header support for <xti.h> into configure.in and
config.h.in.
The 2 files which conditionally include <netinet/tcp.h> need also to
conditionally include <xti.h>.

The current code uses semaphores, which has the advantage that it works
well even on multi-processor machines, but the disadvantage that it is not
the fastest way possible. Writing a spinlock on Alpha for SMP machines is
very difficult, as you need to deal with memory barriers. A real mess. But
then one of the people at Compaq pointed out to us that there is a
ready-made routine on Alpha. We implemented it with the two patches below.
I ran tests with lots of parallel back-ends and got around a 10% speed
increase. I include the two patches. Perhaps some of the other people
running Tru64 can have a look at these as well.

after that dynamic loading isn't working and shared memory handling is
broken.
Attached with this message, there is a Zip file which contain :
* beos.diff = patch file generated with difforig
* beos = folder with beos support files which need to be moved in /
src/backend/port
* expected = foler with three file for message and precision
difference in regression test
* regression.diff = rule problem (need to kill the backend manualy)
* dynloader = dynloader files (they are also in the pacth files,
but there is so much modification that I have join full files)
Everything works except a problem in 'rules' Is there some problems
with rules in the current tree ? It used to works with last week tree.

took some rejiggering of typename and ACL parsing, as well as moving
parse_analyze call out of parser(). Restructure postgres.c processing
so that parse analysis and rewrite are skipped when in abort-transaction
state. Only COMMIT and ABORT statements will be processed beyond the raw
parser() phase. This addresses problem of parser failing with database access
errors while in aborted state (see pghackers discussions around 7/28/00).
Also fix some bugs with COMMIT/ABORT statements appearing in the middle of
a single query input string.
Function, operator, and aggregate arguments/results can now use full
TypeName production, in particular foo[] for array types.
DROP OPERATOR and COMMENT ON OPERATOR were broken for unary operators.
Allow CREATE AGGREGATE to accept unquoted numeric constants for initcond.
SQL92 semantics, including support for ALL option. All three can be used
in subqueries and views. DISTINCT and ORDER BY work now in views, too.
This rewrite fixes many problems with cross-datatype UNIONs and INSERT/SELECT
where the SELECT yields different datatypes than the INSERT needs. I did
that by making UNION subqueries and SELECT in INSERT be treated like
subselects-in-FROM, thereby allowing an extra level of targetlist where the
datatype conversions can be inserted safely.
INITDB NEEDED!
working on the VERY latest version of BeOS. I'm sure there will be
alot of comments, but then if there weren't I'd be disappointed!
Thanks for your continuing efforts to get this into your tree.
Haven't bothered with the new files as they haven't changed.
BTW Peter, the compiler is "broken" about the bool define and so on.
I'm filing a bug report to try and get it addressed. Hopefully then we
can tidy up the code a bit.
I await the replies with interest :)
David Reid
problems with some bits of it, but when all the patches are in it'll build
and we can fix it from there :) I've got a version that builds and runs and
that is the basis for these patches.
The first file has the new additional files that are required,
template/beos
backend/port/dynloader/beos.c
backend/port/dynloader/beos.h
include/port/beos.h
makefiles/Makefile.beos
The second is a tarball of diffs against a few files. I've added sys/ipc.h
to configure and config.h via configure.in and config.h.in and then started
adding the check as this file isn't needed on BeOS and having loads of
#ifdef BEOS isn't as obvious as #ifdef HAVE_SYS_IPC_H and isn't as
autconf'ish :)
Files touched are
include/c.h
configure.in
include/config.h.in
include/storage/ipc.h
include/utils/int8.h
Let me know how these go. I'll await a response before submitting any more.
Any problems just get in touch.

and the fmgr redesign.
It makes the homebrewn dl*() functions for more recent Versions of AIX
obsolete
by using the system dl*() functions instead.
It also fixes the expected file for the horology regression test.
Please regenerate configure from configure.in, I don't have the
environment/time.

(Don't forget that an alias is required.) Views reimplemented as expanding
to subselect-in-FROM. Grouping, aggregates, DISTINCT in views actually
work now (he says optimistically). No UNION support in subselects/views
yet, but I have some ideas about that. Rule-related permissions checking
moved out of rewriter and into executor.
INITDB REQUIRED!
Update the installation instructions (formerly misnamed "FAQ"), add configure
checks for some headers rather than having users copy stubs manually (ugh!).
Use Autoconf check for exe extension. This also avoids inheriting the value
of $(X) from the environment.
complaints about ungrouped variables. This is for consistency with
behavior elsewhere, notably the fact that the relname is reported as
an alias in these same complaints. Also, it'll work with subselect-
in-FROM where old code didn't.
- rename ichar() to chr() (discussed with Tom)
- add docs for oracle compatible routines:
btrim()
ascii()
chr()
repeat()
- fix bug with timezone in to_char()
- all to_char() variants return NULL instead textin("")
if it's needful.
The contrib/odbc is without changes and contains same routines as main
tree ... because I not sure how plans are Thomas with this :-)

This effectively one line patch should fix the fact that
foreign key definitions in create table were erroring if
a primary key was defined. I was using the columns
list to get the columns of the table for comparison, but
it got reused as a temporary list inside the primary key
stuff.

query representation. Note that GEQO_RELS setting is now interpreted
as the number of top-level items in the FROM list, not necessarily the
number of relations in the query. This seems appropriate since we are
only doing join-path searching over the top-level items.
There is still no effective difference but it will kick in once setuid
functions exist (not included here). Make old getpgusername() alias for
current_user.
DESTDIR=/else/where' and prepends the value of DESTDIR to the full
installation paths (e.g., /else/where/usr/local/pgsql/bin). This allows
users to install the package into a location different from the one that
was configured and hard-coded into various scripts, e.g., for creating
binary packages.
DESTDIR is in many cases preferrable over `make install
prefix=/else/where' because
a) `prefix' affects the path that is hard-coded into the files, which can
lead to a `make install prefix=xxx' (as done by the regression test
driver) corrupting the files in the source tree with wrong paths.
b) it doesn't work at all if a directory was overridden to not depend on
`prefix', e.g., --sysconfdir=/etc.
(Updating the regression test driver to use DESTDIR is a separate
undertaking.)
