Add comparison operators to boolean and smaller/larger operators to datetime
and timespan. Fix int4 overflow math problem in timespan comparison operators.
Subject: [PATCHES] to make regress.sh shell friendly to echo.
Hi,
I needed to make the following change to regress.sh to make it more
shell friendly.
The Solaris /bin/sh, and others, use \c to supress the newline.
the DROP TABLE calls from the destroy.sql file to the 'types' .sql files,
so that they are self-contained
btree_index, hash_index and misc all fail as there seems to be missing
a 'misc.out' expected file...have asked Thomas for one...

=============== creating new regression database... =================
=============== running regression queries... =================
create_function_1 .. ok
create_type .. ok
create_table .. ok
create_function_2 .. ok
Here are patches which should help fix timezone problems in the
datetime and abstime code. Also, I repatched varlena.c to add in
some comments and a little error checking on top of Vadim's earlier
repairs. There are slight mods to the circle data type to have the
distance operator between circles measure the distance between
closest points rather than between centers.
Subject: [PATCHES] Patches for compiling 6.1 on Digital Unix 3.2c
Attached to this message are the patches I needed to compile 6.1 cleanly
under Digital Unix 3.2c with DEC cc.
I hope these are the last ones. At least, the number of files needing a
patch has decreased noticeably since I sent my previous patches. Nice work
:-)
One of the patches is a bug fix, but I'm including it here anyway.
With these patches applied, the beast seems to work properly. However,
I've done only some preliminary tests. More on this later (but hopefully
before the April 30 deadline... :-)
postgres backend processes end up as so called zombies. It seems that
only Linux a.out (libc.4.6.27) systems are affected.

nestloop's join clauses doesn't work in some cases:
* 1. fix_indxqual_references may change varattno-s in
* inner_indxqual;
* 2. clauses may be commuted

Subject: [PORTS] Configure for DEC-Alpha
Configure script properly detects alpha-dec-osf4.0 machine, but
sets a default GENERIC template for it. I modified tempplate/.similar to
add alpha-dec-osf4.0=alpha. Then configure properly set the template to
alpha.
Subject: [PATCHES] Patch for configure.in to not ask for CASSERT
The following patch defaults to CASSERT, so it doesn't ask you. You can
still use --enable-cassert and --disable-cassert to do it explicitly.
Default: disabled
