* NULLs are sorted differently in 7.2
* table correlation names are supported
* GROUP BY, ORDER BY unrelated is supported since 6.4
* ESCAPE/LIKE only supported since 7.1
* outer joins only since 7.1
* preferred term for procedure is "function"
* preferred term for catalog is "database"
* supports SELECT for UPDATE since 6.5
* supports subqueries
* supports UNION; supports UNION ALL since 7.1
* update some of the max lengths to match reality
* rearrange some functions to match the order in the spec

redirections between the build files, which didn't work completely. Now
you just go to the directory of your choice and run make. Clean up the
build files to have a logical order, fix the unnecessary rebuilds, prevent
the deleting targets from removing files they're not responsible for. Ant
1.3 does not have a bug. It deletes directories just fine if you follow
the documentation.
object inside the initialization section instead of doing it everytime
the setTimestamp method is called. Thanks to Dave Harkness for this
suggestion.

1) ERRORs cause an SQL_ERROR and the SQLSTATE='S1000'.
2) NOTICEs cause an SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO and the succeeding
SQLError() returns the NOTICE message.
tclodbc (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclodbc) and libiodbc-2.50.3
(http://www.iodbc.org/dist/libiodbc-2.50.3.tar.gz). I could not
get either to work... postgres would not find the global odbcinst.ini
file. I traced this to src/interfaces/odbc/gpps.c -- here are the
many things I think are wrong:
Run tclodbc and do a ``database db <DSNname>'' where ``DSNname'' is
one of the DSN's in /usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini (or wherever the
global ini file is installed.) The result is always the error
message that ``one of server,port,database,etc. are missing''.
Run libiodbc-2.50.3/samples/odbctest <DSNname>. The command fails
to connect to the database and just exits.

submit. These were done for the jdbc2 driver. The first one is for support
of the Types.BIT in the PreparedStatement class. The following lines need to be
inserted in the switch statment, at around line 530:
(Prepared statment, line 554, before the default: switch
case Types.BIT:
if (x instanceof Boolean) {
set(parameterIndex, ((Boolean)x).booleanValue() ? "TRUE" : "FALSE");
} else {
throw new PSQLException("postgresql.prep.type");
}
break;
The second one is dealing with blobs,
inserted in PreparedStatemant.java (After previous patch line, 558):
case Types.BINARY:
case Types.VARBINARY:
setObject(parameterIndex,x);
break;
and in ResultSet.java (Around line 857):
case Types.BINARY:
case Types.VARBINARY:
return getBytes(columnIndex);

that not many people actually use libpq on Win32; I have found another bug. Some
functions that are defined in libpq-fe.h aren't exported in the DLL version of
the library. I have added them to src/interfaces/libpq/libpqdll.def. The new
complete file is attached.

non-multibyte database loosing 8bit characters. This patch will cause
the jdbc driver to ignore the encoding reported by the database when
multibyte isn't enabled and use the JVM default in that case.

database, and often need the latest timestamp, but want to
format it as a date. With 7.0.x, I just
select ts from foo order by ts desc limit 1
and in java: d = res.getDate(1);
but this fails everywhere in my code now :(

The ResultSet.getXXX methods will attempt to
convert whatever SQL type was returned by the
database to whatever Java type is returned by
the getXXX method.

Python) to support shared extension modules, I have learned that Guido
prefers the style of the attached patch to solve the above problem.
I feel that this solution is particularly appropriate in this case
because the following:
PglargeType
PgType
PgQueryType
are already being handled in the way that I am proposing for PgSourceType.
