seems that my last post didn't make it through. That's good
since the diff itself didn't covered the renaming of
pg_user.h to pg_shadow.h and it's new content.
Here it's again. The complete regression test passwd with
only some float diffs. createuser and destroyuser work.
pg_shadow cannot be read by ordinary user.
Someone changed the parser to build a TypeName node on CREATE
FUNCTION in any case. As a side effect, ALL! functions
created got the proretset attribute to true. Thus for a
SELECT the parser wrapped an Iter node around the Expr and
since singleton functions set isDone the Iter returns no
tuple up.
varchar length.
Cleans up code so attlen is always length.
Removed varchar() hack added earlier.
Will fix bug in selecting varchar() fields, and varchar() can be
variable length.
Patch by: wieck@sapserv.debis.de (Jan Wieck)
One of the design rules of PostgreSQL is extensibility. And
to follow this rule means (at least for me) that there should
not only be a builtin PL. Instead I would prefer a defined
interface for PL implemetations.
o A new patch that contains the following changes:
-- The pg_pwd file is now cached in the postmaster's memory.
-- pg_pwd is reloaded when the postmaster detects a flag file creat()'ed
by a backend.
-- qsort() is used to sort loaded password entries, and bsearch() is
is used to find entries in the pg_pwd cache.
-- backends now copy the pg_user relation to pg_pwd.pid, and then
rename the temp file to be pg_pwd.
-- The delimiter for pg_pwd has been changed to a tab character.
Makefile.global.
End result, if all goes well, should allow for much easier porting, since
there will no longer be a concept of a "port". Most, if not everything,
*should* be determined by configure, or by the compiler itself. Still
work to be done though :)
async.c: #include <port-protos.h> surrounded by an #ifdef HAVE_STRDUP
vacuum.c: #include <port-protos.h> commented out...can someone comment as
to why it was included, as it doesn't seem to have any effect
under FreeBSD so far...would like some sort of #ifdef wrapper
like async.c if possible
