This patch fixes a few results in DatabaseMetaData, and updates the README
and TODO files (the later being a new file).
The TODO file lists the things that need to be looked into after 6.2 is
released, and describes the problem with Large Objects.
I've found a problem in the Postgresql jdbc driver.
"ReceiveInteger" shifts a received byte right instead of left.
This means that only the least significant byte is read into the int.

Subject: [PATCHES] More psql and libpq patches
Well..these would be the last patches until the release (I hope)...
I ran the regression tests while watching psql under purify, and it did
not leak even one byte.
In this patch:
* Plugged a major leak when PSQL reads files for input (either through
\i options or through -f option)
* Fixed the one remaining leak in PSQL in not clearing PGresult *results
everywhere it is supposed to. (Thanks Tymm)
* Fixed A small leak in PSQL not clearing all the PGsettings correctly.
* A not-so-obvious (but small) leak in Libpq when PQsetdb fails for any
reason.
* Added \n to some Libpq error messages to make them easier to digest..
* Finally, added /* PURIFY */ comment to some of the code indicating
the reason for why it was added/changed...for future developers.
Subject: [PATCHES] memory leak patches in libpq and psql
A couple of small memory leak patches (detected with Purify) primarily
in libpq.
* Fixed (NULL) border problem in psql (run psql, do \m, then select
something from a table...row separators will be nulls)
* Fixed memory leak with the abovementioned border not being freed
properly.
* Fixed memory leak in freePGconn() not freeing conn->port
* Fixed up PQclear() to free parts of PGresult only if these
parts are not null.
* Fixed a decent memory leak that occured after executing every command
in psql. PGresult *results was not freed most of the time.
There is still a leak being detected (2 bytes) in readline functions, but
I think this is old readline library. I will install new one and test it.
Subject: [PATCHES] libpq patch
Hi,
here is a small patch which fixes two problems:
1. libpq/libpq-fe.h:
somehow disappeared the line
#define DefaultOption ""
now compilation stops with an error complainig an
unknown DefaultOption (970508).
2. Same patch as I sent already twice, but it never made it
into the source tree: there is no default value for
AuthType and Password. This way any libpq-application
(i.e. perl-scripts) which use the function PQconnectdb
will break with PostgreSQL-6.1. The patch simply uses
an empty string as default value.
Subject: [PATCHES] libpq SET var TO patch
One last, I hope. This one corrects a bogus format string, and
actually sends the contents of PG_DATESTYLE to the backend. That
means, you can do a setenv PG_DATESTYLE 'iso', and your libpq
will pick that up and tell the backend.
Subject: [PATCHES] 970417: some large object patches
Two patches here, made against 970417. Both have to do with large
objects:
1. lobjfuncs was not initialized in PQconnectdb. This causes
failure later if large objects are used. (Someone already
caught this error in PQsetdb.)
2. Postgres functions lo_import and lo_export sometimes
produce garbage for the file names because the filename
strings aren't always terminated by \0. (VARDATA isn't
necessarily null terminated.)
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
