RowExclusive (my fault). Also, install a check to prevent people
from trying COPY BINARY to stdout/from stdin. No way that will
work unless we redesign the frontend COPY protocol ... which is
not worth the trouble in the near future ...
is in <string> and not in <string.h> on QNX4/egcs-2.91.60.
Probably this can be changed for all platforms. The test in line 1705 uses
<string> as well. Because I am not sure, I havn't this included into the
patch.
doc/Makefile has to be sligthly modified as it has been done for
src/backend/Makefile due to a QNX4 problem (patch attached)
Furthermore src/test/regress/run_check.sh needs to be patched as it has been
done for regress.sh (patch attached). Please note that in the patch the
postmaster is started always with the -i option.
run_check.sh reports the test "limit" as failed, but in reallity it is OK.
regress.sh reports it as OK.

IRIX systems using the native compilers. A summary is:
- Various files use "//" as a comment delimiter in c files.
- Problems caused by assuming "char" is signed.
cash.in: building -signed the rules regression test fails as described
in FAQ_QNX4. If CHAR_MAX is "255U" then ((signed char)CHAR_MAX) is -1.
postmaster.c: random number regression test failed without this change.
- Some generic build issues and warning message cleanup.

just use the portable form,

There were a bunch of places that weren't paying attention to configure's
result anyway (including configure itself!?); clean them up too.
I'm including a diff of
postgresql-7.0/src/interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc2/ResultSet.java.
I've clearly marked all the fixes I did. Would *someone* who has access
to the cvs please put this in?

days. It seems to be a FAQ, and I think I know why. When creating a 'c'
language function, CREATE FUNCTION is fed the shared object filename,
and seems to succeed. Only when trying to use the function is an error
thrown, by which time the coder thinks something's wrong with executing
the code, not with loading it.
I think I once saw it proposed to load shared objects at function creation
time, but that idea was shot down on the grounds of resident memory bloat,
ISTR. Here's a patch for a compromise: all it does is stat() the file,
just like the loader code does, so that the errors caused by non existent
files, and no directory 'x' permissions (the most common ones, it seems),
get caught while the developer is still thinking about code loading. It
doesn't catch all errors (like the code not being readable by the postgres
user) but seems to catch the most common, without actually opening the file.
What do you think?

indexes, apparently, nor on functional indexes with more than one input
column (force of natts = 1 was in the wrong branch of IF statement).
Coredumped if source relation contained any uncommitted tuples, due to
failure to test for success return from heap_fetch. Fetched tuple
was passed directly to heap_insert, which clobbers the TID and commit
status in the tuple header it's given, which meant that the source
relation's tuples all got trashed as the copy proceeded. Abort partway
through, and you're left with a lot of missing tuples.
I wonder what else is lurking here ...
under FreeBSD ... basically, if setproctitle() exists, use it ...
the draw back right now is the PS_SET_STATUS stuff doesn't work, but am looking
into that one right now ... at lesat now you can see who is connecting where

mappings. In fact, it had them backward because it was using the 6.5.*
code. Copied them from parser/gram.y, so it is fixed now. Looks like
our first 7.0.1 fix. Oops, seems Tom has beat me to it as I was typing
this.
Rearrange handling of VACUUMs so that they are certain to be executed
as superuser not some random user; also, do not forget to vacuum
template1 itself.
pg_char_to_encoding() in multibyte disbaled case so that it does not
throw an error, rather return HARD CODED default value (currently SQL_ASCII).
This would solve the "non-mb backend vs. mb-enabled frontend" problem.
cleanup, ie, as soon as we have caught the longjmp. This ensures that
current context will be a valid context throughout error cleanup. Before
it was possible that current context was pointing at a context that would
get deleted during cleanup, leaving any subsequent pallocs in deep
trouble. I was able to provoke an Assert failure when compiled with
asserts + -DCLOBBER_FREED_MEMORY, if I did something that would cause
an error to be reported by the backend large-object code, because indeed
that code operates in a context that gets deleted partway through xact
abort --- and CurrentMemoryContext was still pointing at it! Boo hiss.
