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.
and related files. Also remove float.c's gratuitous redeclaration of
isinf() ... looks like there are more decls in there that ought to be
in config.h, but I'll leave well enough alone for now ...
MyProcPid global variable is set to 0 when postgres starts as a command
(not as a backend daemon). This leads issuing SIGQUIT to the process group,
not the process itself. As a result, parent sh gets core dumped in the
Wisconsin benchmark test.
rather than reusing the input storage.
Also made the same fix to int8smaller(), though there wasn't a symptom,
and went through and verified that other pass-by-reference data types
do the same thing. Not an issue for the by-value types.
time zone.
Previously, localtime() rotated a date with a day of month field which
exceeded the actual range into the next months, masking the fact that
a bad date had been specified.
Regression tests pass.

but that looks like it might be a major feature addition.
Not something to try during beta phase.
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.

I have solved some problems with dynamic loading on NT. It is possible

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.

portability problem. Included patches should be applied to both
current and 6.4 tree. I have tested on LinuxPPC, FreeBSD and Solaris
2.6. Now the inet regression tests on these platforms are all happy.

shared memory space allocation. It's a wonder we have not seen bug
reports traceable to this area ... it's quite clear that the routine
dir_realloc() has never worked correctly, for example.
Ok. I made patches replacing all of "#if FALSE" or "#if 0" to "#ifdef
NOT_USED" for current. I have tested these patches in that the
postgres binaries are identical.
(--with-maxbackends). Add a postmaster switch (-N backends) that allows
the limit to be reduced at postmaster start time. (You can't increase it,
sorry to say, because there are still some fixed-size arrays.)
Grab the number of semaphores indicated by min(MAXBACKENDS, -N) at
postmaster startup, so that this particular form of bogus configuration
is exposed immediately rather than under heavy load.
Fix problem with date_part() for timespan (had an offset of one)
when given decade, century, and millenium as arguments.

for int8 support. configure now checks only snprintf() for int8 support,
not sprintf and sscanf as it used to. The reason for doing this is that
if we are supplying our own snprintf code (which does handle long long int),
we now only need working long long support in the compiler not in the
platform's C library. I have verified that int8 now passes regression test
on HPUX 9, and I think it should work on SunOS 4.1.* and other older
platforms if gcc is used.
o allow to use Big5 (a Chinese encoding used in Taiwan) as a client
encoding. In this case the server side encoding should be EUC_TW
o add EUC_TW and Big5 test cases to the regression and the mb test
(contributed by Jonah Kuo)
o fix mistake in include/mb/pg_wchar.h. An encoding id for EUC_TW was
not correct (was 3 and now is 4)
o update documents (doc/README.mb and README.mb.jp)
o update psql helpfile (bin/psql/psqlHelp.h)
