Fix some quoting functions. In particular handle NULLs better.
Use a method to add primary key information rather than direct
manipulation of the class structures.
Break decimal out in _quote (in pg.py) and treat it as float.
Treat timestamp like date for quoting purposes.
Remove a redundant SELECT from the get method speeding it, and
insert since it calls get, up a little.
Add test for BOOL type in typecast method to pgdbTypeCache class.

Fix pgdb.py to send port as integer to lower level function

Change pg.py to speed up some operations
Allow updates on tables with no primary keys.

standard targets and behaviour. Replaced Makefile.in's with
Makefile's and declared the respective variables in Makefile.global.
maintainer-clean target now available at top level, although it does
not work in the backend tree yet.
Cleanup pass over Makefile.shlib, renamed some targets and variables.
The shared library symlink tests are now done by make, not the shell.
ecpg: Remove one warning in sloppy flex output.
PL/Perl and Perl interface: the MakeMaker documentation is confusing,
the realclean target *does* "delete derived files", but it also
uninstalls them. Don't use that.
The submake targets in the various bin directories that update libpq
should `make all', not `make libpq.a'. That is a) unportable, and
b) doesn't build the shared library.
that now functions as a wrapper around the MakeMaker stuff. It might
even behave sensically when we have separate build dirs. Same for plperl,
which of course still doesn't work very well. Made sure that plperl
respects the choice of --libdir.
Added --with-python to automatically build and install the Python interface.
Works similarly to the Perl5 stuff.
Moved the burden of the distclean targets lower down into the source tree.
Eventually, each make file should have its own.
Added automatic remaking of makefiles and configure. Currently only for the
top-level because of a bug(?) in Autoconf. Use GNU `missing' to work around
missing autoconf and aclocal. Start factoring out macros into their own
config/*.m4 files to increase readability and organization.
been applied. The patches are in the .tar.gz attachment at the end:
varchar-array.patch this patch adds support for arrays of bpchar() and
varchar(), which where always missing from postgres.
These datatypes can be used to replace the _char4,
_char8, etc., which were dropped some time ago.
block-size.patch this patch fixes many errors in the parser and other
program which happen with very large query statements
(> 8K) when using a page size larger than 8192.
This patch is needed if you want to submit queries
larger than 8K. Postgres supports tuples up to 32K
but you can't insert them because you can't submit
queries larger than 8K. My patch fixes this problem.
The patch also replaces all the occurrences of `8192'
and `1<<13' in the sources with the proper constants
defined in include files. You should now never find
8192 hardwired in C code, just to make code clearer.
