in Turkish locale. Keywords are now checked under pure ASCII case-folding
rules ('A'-'Z'->'a'-'z' and nothing else). However, once a word is
determined not to be a keyword, it will be case-folded under the current
locale, same as before. See pghackers discussion 20-Feb-01.
the old ones were not small enough to ensure r-tree and gist indexes would
get picked when available. These numbers are totally bogus anyway, but
in the absence of any real estimation technique, we'd like to select
indexes when available ...
clause with an alias is a <subquery> and therefore hides table references
appearing within it, according to the spec. This is the same as the
preliminary patch I posted to pgsql-patches yesterday, plus some really
grotty code in ruleutils.c to reverse-list a query tree with the correct
alias name depending on context. I'd rather not have done that, but unless
we want to force another initdb for 7.1, there's no other way for now.
as previously discussed.
It makes AIX and IRIX not use DST for dates before 1970.
The following expected files need to be removed from the regression tests,
they contain wrong results and are not needed any more.

are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
elog(ERROR) not an Assert trap, since we've downgraded out-of-memory to
elog(ERROR) not a fatal error. Also, change the hard boundary from 256Mb
to 1Gb, just so that anyone who's actually got that much memory to spare
can play with TOAST objects approaching a gigabyte.
allocated by plan nodes are not leaked at end of query. This doesn't
really matter for normal queries, but it sure does for queries invoked
repetitively inside SQL functions. Clean up some other grotty code
associated with tupdescs, and fix a few other memory leaks exposed by
tests with simple SQL functions.
actually) to ensure that its file access time doesn't get old enough to
tempt a /tmp directory cleaner to remove it. Still another reason we
should never have put the sockets in /tmp in the first place ...
truncating to integer. Remove regress test that checks whether
4567890123456789 can be converted to float without loss; since that's
52 bits, it's on the hairy edge of failing with IEEE float8s, and indeed
rint seems to give platform-dependent results for it.
bothering to check the return value --- which meant that in case the
update or delete failed because of a concurrent update, you'd not find
out about it, except by observing later that the transaction produced
the wrong outcome. There are now subroutines simple_heap_update and
simple_heap_delete that should be used anyplace that you're not prepared
to do the full nine yards of coping with concurrent updates. In
practice, that seems to mean absolutely everywhere but the executor,
because *noplace* else was checking.
eliminates a raft of portability issues, including whether sys_nerr
exists, whether the platform has any valid negative errnos, etc. The
downside is minimal: errno shouldn't ever contain an invalid value anyway,
and if it does, reasonably modern versions of strerror will not choke.
This rangecheck idea seemed good at the time, but it's clearly a net loss,
and I apologize to all concerned for having ever put it in.
of c.h altogether, and putting it into the only places that use it
(elog.c and exc.c), instead. Modify these routines to check for a
NULL or empty-string return from strerror, too, since some platforms
define strerror to return empty string for unknown errors (what a useless
definition that is ...). Clean up some cruft in ExcPrint while at it.
mixed-signs. Previous effort left way too many minus signs, and was at
least as broken as the one before that :(
Clean up "ISO-style" time interval representation to omit zero fields if
there is at least one non-zero field. Supress some leading plus signs
when not necessary for clarity.
Replace every #ifdef __CYGWIN__ block with a cleaner TIMEZONE_GLOBAL macro
defined in datetime.h.
Not sure why some were this way, and others were already correct, but it
seems to have been like this for several years.
This caused problems on a few damaged platforms like AIX and IRIX which do
not support DST calculations for years before 1970.

the problem.
given the fundamental restriction of not looking at transaction commit
data in pg_log. Use code that is actually based on tqual.c rather than
ad-hoc tests. Also write the tuple fetch loop using standard access
macros rather than ad-hoc code.
are treated more like 'cancel' interrupts: the signal handler sets a
flag that is examined at well-defined spots, rather than trying to cope
with an interrupt that might happen anywhere. See pghackers discussion
of 1/12/01.
are now critical sections, so as to ensure die() won't interrupt us while
we are munging shared-memory data structures. Avoid insecure intermediate
states in some code that proc_exit will call, like palloc/pfree. Rename
START/END_CRIT_CODE to START/END_CRIT_SECTION, since that seems to be
what people tend to call them anyway, and make them be called with () like
a function call, in hopes of not confusing pg_indent.
I doubt that this is sufficient to make SIGTERM safe anywhere; there's
just too much code that could get invoked during proc_exit().

in per-entry sub-memory-context, where they were supposed to go, rather
than in CacheMemoryContext where the code was putting them. Must've
suffered a severe brain fade when I wrote this :-(
