anymore given the mktime() workaround now done in DetermineLocalTimeZone.
This has now been confirmed by Robert Bruccoleri for Irix, and I'm going
to extrapolate to AIX as well.
before commit, not after :-( --- the original coding is not only unsafe
if an error occurs while it's processing, but it generates an invalid
sequence of WAL entries. Resurrect 7.2 logic for deleting items when
no longer needed. Use an enum instead of random macros. Editorialize
on names used for routines and constants. Teach backend/nodes routines
about new field in CreateTable struct. Add a regression test.

OK, here it comes:
An inlined version of tas(), that works for both, powerpc and
powerpc64. The patch is against 7.3b5 and passes the test suite on
both architectures.

precision for float4, float8, and geometric types. Set it in pg_dump
so that float data can be dumped/reloaded exactly (at least on platforms
where the float I/O support is properly implemented). Initial patch by
Pedro Ferreira, some additional work by Tom Lane.
now)" item on the open items, and subsequent plpgsql function I sent in,
made me realize it was too hard to get the upper and lower bound of an
array. The attached creates two functions that I think will be very
useful when combined with the ability of plpgsql to return sets.
array_lower(array, dim_num)
- and -
array_upper(array, dim_num)
They return the value (as an int) of the upper and lower bound of the
requested dim in the provided array.

not read until after we've read the port-specific header file. In
particular this should make it safer to #include system headers for
inet_aton; in general it seems that the port header file ought to be
in a position to set definitions before we do stuff based on having
a definition or not.
node now does its own grouping of the input rows, and has no need for a
preceding GROUP node in the plan pipeline. This allows elimination of
the misnamed tuplePerGroup option for GROUP, and actually saves more code
in nodeGroup.c than it costs in nodeAgg.c, as well as being presumably
faster. Restructure the API of query_planner so that we do not commit to
using a sorted or unsorted plan in query_planner; instead grouping_planner
makes the decision. (Right now it isn't any smarter than query_planner
was, but that will change as soon as it has the option to select a hash-
based aggregation step.) Despite all the hackery, no initdb needed since
only in-memory node types changed.
where it's safe to do database access. Along the way, fix core dump
for 'DEFAULT' parameters to CREATE DATABASE. initdb forced due to
change in pg_proc entry.
between signal handler and enable/disable code, avoid accumulation of
timing error due to trying to maintain remaining-time instead of
absolute-end-time, disable timeout before commit not after.
'empty declaration' warnings from compilers that care about such things.
Per discussion back before 7.2 release; we didn't do it then because
we'd already missed all the beta cycle ...
coercions, not implicit ones. For example, 'select abstime(1035497293)'
should succeed because there is an explicit binary coercion from int4
to abstime.
whose conditions might yield NULL. The negated qual to attach to the
original query is properly 'x IS NOT TRUE', not 'NOT x'. This fix
produces correct behavior, but we may be taking a performance hit because
the planner is much stupider about IS NOT TRUE than it is about NOT
clauses. Future TODO: teach prepqual, other parts of planner how to
cope with BooleanTest clauses more effectively.
Ray Ontko 28-June-02. Also, fix prefix_selectivity for NAME lefthand
variables (it was bogusly assuming binary compatibility), and adjust
make_greater_string() to not call pg_mbcliplen() with invalid multibyte
data (this last per bug report that I can't find at the moment, but it
was in July '02).
specifically ceil(), floor(), and sign(). There may be other functions
that need to be added, but this is a start. I've included some simple
regression tests.

command status at the interactive level. SPI_processed, etc are set
in the same way as the returned command status would have been set if
the same querystring were issued interactively. Per gripe from
Michael Paesold 25-Sep-02.
query that uses it. This ensures that triggers will be applied consistently
throughout a query even if someone commits changes to the relation's
pg_class.reltriggers field meanwhile. Per crash report from Laurette Cisneros.
While at it, simplify memory management in relcache.c, which no longer
needs the old hack to try to keep trigger info in the same place over
a relcache entry rebuild. (Should try to fix rd_att and rewrite-rule
access similarly, someday.) And make RelationBuildTriggers simpler and
more robust by making it build the trigdesc in working memory and then
CopyTriggerDesc() into cache memory.

utilities (libpq.dll and psql.exe) for win32 (missing defines,

It compiles cleanly under Windows 2000 using Visual Studio .net. Also
compiles clean and passes all regression tests (regular and contrib)

In addition to a review by the usual suspects, it would be very
desirable for someone well versed in the peculiarities of win32 to take
a look.

so that precision of result is always at least as good as you'd get from
float8 arithmetic (ie, always at least 16 digits of accuracy). Per
pg_hackers discussion a few days ago.
VACUUM FULL tuple moves. Store full-width t_infomask in WAL, rather
than storing low 8 bits and expecting to be able to reconstruct upper
bits. While at it, remove redundant t_oid field from WAL headers
(the OID, if present, is now recorded in the data portion of the tuple).
WAL version number bumped --- this does not force an initdb, you can
instead run pg_resetxlog after a clean shutdown of the old postmaster.
the SQL99 standard. (I'm not sure that the character-class features are
quite right, but that can be fixed later.) Document SQL99 and POSIX
regexps as being different features; provide variants of SUBSTRING for
each.
parse analysis and into the execution code (in tablecmds.c). This
eliminates a lot of unreasonably complex code that needed to have two
or more execution paths in case it was dealing with a not-yet-created
table column vs. an already-existing one. The execution code is always
dealing with already-created tables and so needs only one case. This
also eliminates some potential race conditions (the table wasn't locked
between parse analysis and execution), makes it easy to fix the gripe
about wrong referenced-column names generating a misleading error message,
and lets us easily add a dependency from the foreign-key constraint to
the unique index that it requires the referenced table to have. (Cf.
complaint from Kris Jurka 12-Sep-2002 on pgsql-bugs.)
Also, third try at building a deletion mechanism that is not sensitive
to the order in which pg_depend entries are visited. Adding the above-
mentioned dependency exposed the folly of what dependency.c had been
doing: it failed for cases where B depends on C while both auto-depend
on A. Dropping A should succeed in this case, but was failing if C
happened to be visited before B. It appears the only solution is two
separate walks over the dependency tree.
