Attached patch will add a version() function to Postges, e.g.
template1=> select version();
version

PostgreSQL 6.3.2 on i586-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc 2.8.1
(1 row)
Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.
It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.
This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )
This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.
Please review and apply,
Cheers,
Jeroen van Vianen
This patch will...
1. Remove the "-Wall" option from the ecpg/lib and ecpg/preproc Makefile.
2. Remove the addition of $(SRCDIR)/include and-or $(SRCDIR)/backend from
ecpg/lib, ecpg/preproc, libpq and utils Makefiles. Already in CFLAGS...
3. Set MK_NO_LORDER and RANLIB in Makefile.aix to avoid a couple of extra
steps taken care of by the 'ld' command anyways.
to be sleazy and reach into other subsystems' directories. First entry in
this directory is the PG_VERSION file interface, which must be used by the
backend and also the pg_version program (which is used by initdb).
