1. Rewritten libpq to allow asynchronous clients.
2. Implemented client side of cancel protocol in library,
and patched psql.c to send a cancel request upon SIGINT. The
backend doesn't notice it yet :-(
3. Implemented 'Z' protocol message addition and renaming of
copy in/out start messages. These are implemented conditionally,
ie, the client protocol version is checked; so the code should
still work with 1.0 clients.
4. Revised protocol and libpq sgml documents (don't have an SGML
compiler, though, so there may be some markup glitches here).
What remains to be done:
1. Implement addition of atttypmod field to RowDescriptor messages.
The client-side code is there but ifdef'd out. I have no idea
what to change on the backend side. The field should be sent
only if protocol >= 2.0, of course.
2. Implement backend response to cancel requests received as OOB
messages. (This prolly need not be conditional on protocol
version; just do it if you get SIGURG.)
3. Update libpq.3. (I'm hoping this can be generated mechanically
from libpq.sgml... if not, will do it by hand.) Is there any
other doco to fix?
4. Update non-libpq interfaces as necessary. I patched libpgtcl
so that it would compile, but haven't tested it. Dunno what
needs to be done with the other interfaces.
Have at it!

- Put operator "->" back into parser. Note that :foo->bar means the
C term, but :foo ->bar means the operator "->".

If PQfn() receives NOTICEs from the backend, it fails because there is no
provision to deal with them.
This patch (supplied by Anders Hammarquist <iko@netg.se> to me as Debian
maintainer of postgresql) cures the problem:
HP-UX (all versions) requires shared libraries to have execute
permission, and really needs them to be exactly mode 555 for
performance reasons. The standard configure/install procedure
installs libpq.sl as mode 644, which DOES NOT WORK.
The attached patch modifies the makefiles to distinguish
INSTL_LIB_OPTS (install mode for ordinary libraries) from
INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS (mode for shared libs), and adds a test
to configure to set INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS="-m 555" when on HP-UX.

Here's a fix for a tiny memory leak in PQsetdb/PQfinish.
(Analysis of a running program indicates there are several others, but
this is the only obvious one I saw in the code).
This fixes a problem in ResultSet.getDate() when the column is NULL
(reported by Vincent Partington <Vincent.Partington@nmg.nl>)
And fixes a problem with Field's (ResultSet.getObject() was proving to be
slow as it repetedly send queries for oid -> name mapping - fixed by
creating a cache. (reported by Mario Ellebrecht <ellebrec@nads.de>)
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,

the configuration of v6.3.1. I have replaced the queries for
include/lib directories with --with configuration options. I have
also included a list of potential tcl/tk include directories directly
in the CPPFLAGS variable. As new versions are needed, these should
be added to the list in reverse numerical order (libraries are in
a separate list near the end). This greatly simplifies the later
checks if --with-tcl is set. I hope this solution works for
everyone.
I also added a check to disable the perl support if postgres was
not already installed (as per the instructions in the directory).
By the way, why must there be an installed pgsql to compile perl
support? This seems odd, at best.
Finally, I changed the Makefile in the libpgtcl interface to place
the shared libraries at the end of the list of files, not at the
beginning. With NetBSD at least, libraries are linked in order,
so the original sequence does not work.

3) Add "#include "config.h" to src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/pgc.l
to correct "strings.h not found". config.h has the proper define to
make this work and should probably be near the top of pgc.l before
the first include.
was a 2000 character buffer allocated for results, and the files
you refer to produce a 2765 byte column called formsource. This
should not have worked with any version of libpgtcl.
Nevertheless, the limit is an artificial one, since there is no
need to use this intermediate buffer where it is being used and
abused.

a dumpall. This has been happening when a second \connect is
encountered.
The faulty code was in fe-connect.c, where the memory for the user
password was freed, but the pointer itself was not set to NULL.
Later, the memory was reused and the password appeared not to be
empty, so that an attempt was made to reference it.

1) DatabaseMetaData.getPrimaryKeys() would fail saying that there
is no
table t.
2) PreparedStatement.getObject() was missing some break statements,
which
was causing updates not to work with JBuilder (supplied by Aaron
Dunlop).

Test Case: ----------

Solution: --------- Add this to the libpq and libpq++ Makefiles
to build shared libs:

extern char *sys_errlist[]; #define strerror(A) (sys_errlist[(A)])
#endif /* sunos4
*/

The following patch is to src/interfaces/libpq of postgresql-6.3.
The purpose of the patch is to make the initialization of
const char *pgresStatus[] match the ExecStatusType enum.
It is my hope that the following "patches" to libpgtcl get included
in the next release.
See the update to the README file to get a full description of the changes.
This version of libpgtcl is completely interpreter-safe, implements the
database connection handle as a channel (no events yet, but will make it
a lot easier to do fileevents on it in the future), and supports the SQL
"copy table to stdout" and "copy table from stdin" commands, with the
I/O being from and to the connection handle. The connection and result
handles are formatted in a way to make access to the tables more efficient.
Ok, this fixes three things:
1. It seems (from tests submitted by two people with JBuilder) that
JBuilder expects a responce from ResultSetMetaData.getPrecision() &
getScale() when used on non numeric types. This patch makes these
methods return 0, instead of throwing an exception.
2. Fixes a small bug where getting the postgresql type name returns null.
3. Fixes a problem with ResultSet.getObject() where getting it's string
value returns null if you case the object as (PGobject), but returns
the value if you case it as it's self.
This patch will...
1. Remove the "-Wall" option from the ecpg/lib and ecpg/preproc Makefile.
2. Remove the addition of $(SRCDIR)/include and-or $(SRCDIR)/backend from
ecpg/lib, ecpg/preproc, libpq and utils Makefiles. Already in CFLAGS...
3. Set MK_NO_LORDER and RANLIB in Makefile.aix to avoid a couple of extra
steps taken care of by the 'ld' command anyways.

Ok. I have decided to use:
#if defined(sun) && if defined(sparc) && !defined(__svr4)
instead of defined(sunos4). interfaces/libpq/libpq-fe.h and
include/c.h have been modified(see included patches).
Another porblems I have found are:
o SunOS lacks strtoul(). to fix this I stole strtoul.c from FreeBSD
and place it under backend/port. necessary modifications have been
also made to backend/port/Makefile.in, include/config.h.in and
configure.in (see included patches).
