been applied. The patches are in the .tar.gz attachment at the end:
varchar-array.patch this patch adds support for arrays of bpchar() and
varchar(), which where always missing from postgres.
These datatypes can be used to replace the _char4,
_char8, etc., which were dropped some time ago.
block-size.patch this patch fixes many errors in the parser and other
program which happen with very large query statements
(> 8K) when using a page size larger than 8192.
This patch is needed if you want to submit queries
larger than 8K. Postgres supports tuples up to 32K
but you can't insert them because you can't submit
queries larger than 8K. My patch fixes this problem.
The patch also replaces all the occurrences of `8192'
and `1<<13' in the sources with the proper constants
defined in include files. You should now never find
8192 hardwired in C code, just to make code clearer.

to save a little bit of backend startup time. This way, the first
backend started after a VACUUM will rebuild the init file with up-to-date
statistics for the critical system indexes.
can be generated in a buffer and then sent to the frontend in a single
libpq call. This solves problems with NOTICE and ERROR messages generated
in the middle of a data message or COPY OUT operation.
instead of doing a kill(self, SIGQUIT) and expecting the signal handler
to do it. Also, clean up inconsistent definitions of the sigjmp buffer
in the several files that already referenced it.
hashjoin's hashFunc() so that it does the right thing with pass-by-value
data types (the old code would always return 0 for int2 or char values,
which would work but would slow things down a lot). Extend opr_sanity
regress test to catch more kinds of errors.
it with configure-script tests to see whether const, inline, volatile, etc
work or not. (Curiously, configure was already doing the work to see if
const and inline were OK, but the results were not getting plugged into
config.h :-(.)
function is found in prosrc field of pg_proc, not proname. This allows
multiple aliases of a built-in to all be implemented as direct builtins,
without needing a level of indirection through an SQL function. Replace
existing SQL alias functions with builtin entries accordingly.
Save a few K by not storing string names of builtin functions in fmgr's
internal table (if you really want 'em, get 'em from pg_proc...).
Update opr_sanity with a few more cross-checks.
2. Much faster btree tuples deletion in the case when first on page
index tuple is deleted (no movement to the left page(s)).
3. Remember blkno of new root page in BTPageOpaque of
left/right siblings when root page is splitted.
I have solved some problems with dynamic loading on NT. It is possible
to
run succesfully both trigger and plpgsql regression tests. The patch is
in
the included file "diff".

change functionality, but makes the code more ANSI C'ish.
My AIX xlc compiler barfs on all of these. Can someone please
review and apply to current.

results in a bogus datetime value under AlphaLinux. (Note that
the link to submit a port-specific bug on your website is broken)
-Test Case:
----------
testdb=> create table dttest (dt datetime);
testdb=> insert into dttest values ('now');
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Solution:
---------
The basic problem is the typedefs of AbsoluteTime and RelativeTime,
which are both 'int32'. These types appear to be used synonymously
with the 'time_t' type, which on AlphaLinux is typedef'd as a 'long
int', which is 64-bits (not 32). The solution included here fixes
the datetime type (it now passes the regression test), but does not
pass the absolute and relative time regression tests. Presumably, a
more thorough investigation of how these types are used is warranted.
The included patch is from the v6.3.2 source, but can be applied to
the v6.4.2 source. Please note that there is also a RedHat-specific
patch distributed with the PostgreSQL source package from RedHat
that was applied first.

All of them seem happy with the regression test. Note that, however,
compiling with optimization enabled on NetBSD/macppc causes an initdb
failure (other two platforms are ok). After checking the asm code, we
are suspecting that might be a compiler(egcs) bug.

I would like some feedback on what the hash function for the int8 hash
function
in the ./backend/access/hash/hashfunc.c should return.
Also, could someone (maybe Tomas Lockhart?) look-over the patch and make
sure
the system table entries are correct? I've tried to research them as
much as I
could, but some of them are still not clear to me.
Thanks,
-Ryan
