Here's another patch for the libpq backend areas. This patch removes all
usage of "FILE *" on the communications channel. It also cleans up the
comments and headers in the pqcomm.c file - a lot of things were either
missing or incorrect. Finally, it removes a couple of unused functions
(leftovers from the time of shared code between the libpq backend and
frontend).
Here is a first patch to cleanup the backend side of libpq.
This patch removes all external dependencies on the "Pfin" and "Pfout" that
are declared in pqcomm.h. These variables are also changed to "static" to
make sure.
Almost all the change is in the handler of the "copy" command - most other
areas of the backend already used the correct functions.
This change will make the way for cleanup of the internal stuff there - now
that all the functions accessing the file descriptors are confined to a
single directory.
when deciding whether a field is a year field. Assume *anything* longer
than 2 digits (if it isn't a special-case doy) is a valid year.
This should fix the "Y1K" and "Y10K" problems
pointed out by Massimo recently.
Check usage of BC to require a positive-valued year; before just used it
to flip the sign of the year without checking. This led to problems
near year zero.
Allow a 5 digit "concatenated date" of 2 digit year plus day of year.
Do 2->4 digit year correction for 6 and 5 digit "concatenated dates".
Somehow forgot this originally. Guess not many folks use it...
I think NAN is already guaranteed to be there from Jan's work on NUMERIC,
but perhaps HUGE_VAL needs some #ifndef's in the same place.
Should also include "-Infinity" as -HUGE_VAL sometime; not there yet.
to give HAVE_TM_ZONE priority. This fixes glibc2 machines and any other
machine which passes both tests in configure.
Repair HAVE_TM_ZONE code which stuffs tm structure with date type values.
Same problems as were originally there before v6.1, but never noticed.
Thanks to Oleg for nagging :)
Nakajima. Since he is not subscribing the mailing list, I'm posting
his patches by his request. According to him, he has successfully
compiled and passed the regression test on Mac SE/30 running
NetBSD/m68k. Also, another person has reported that with the patches
PostgreSQL is working on NetBSD/sun3 too.

+ - Set version to 2.4.5
- the first patch is just to preven listing the perl warning in the
make output unless it is actually emitted by the make. this may
prevent new users from being confused by the warning in their output
- the second patch (to 2 files) just enables building/installing
pgaccess if TCL and TK are available. a Makefile is created to do
this, but you may wish to change the heading information in it since
I just copied another Makefile to use as a template.
I hope these make it into 6.4.1.
Cheers,

6.4.1. Here is the list:
- The type int8 now works. In fact, the bug(s) were in
src/backend/port/snprintf.c, so int8 is probably broken in every platform
that hasn't a native snprintf/vsnprintf. The type itself worked as
expected, only the output was wrong. Anyway, this patch should be checked
in other platforms.
- The regression tests for int2 and int4, which were broken due to
differences in the error messages, are fixed.
- The regression test for float8, which was broken in the reference
platform, is also fixed. I don't know if the new file (float8-OSF1.out)
will work on other platforms, but it might be worth to try it.
- Two new template files are provided (alpha_cc, which includes
optimization, and alpha_gcc), and src/templates/.similar is updated
accordingly. src/templates/alpha should be removed from the distribution.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: I don't know if you can use gcc to compile postgres;
I've written the alpha_gcc file because alpha_cc has some flags that are
specific to DEC C.
- There is a (very basic) Digital Unix specific FAQ in
doc/FAQ_DigitalUnix.
