files rather than a header file where they belong. Pay some modicum
of attention to picking global routine names that aren't likely to
conflict with surrounding applications.
Second cut attached. This one just adds a boolean option to the existing
function to indicate that implicit schemas are to be included (or not).
I remembered the docs as well this time :-)

I am no longer pursuing a total non-blocking implementation. I haven't
found a good way to test it with the type of work that I do with
PostgreSQL. I do use blocking SSL sockets with this mod and have had no
problem whatsoever. The bug that I fixed in this patch is exceptionally
hard to reproduce reliably.

HeapTupleHeaderData in setter and getter macros called
HeapTupleHeaderGetXmin, HeapTupleHeaderSetXmin etc.
It also introduces a "virtual" field xvac by defining
HeapTupleHeaderGetXvac and HeapTupleHeaderSetXvac. Xvac is used by
VACUUM, in fact it is stored in t_cmin.

but occasionally I may need to shut down the server and restart it
w/o tcpip sockets. Postmaster has the -i option to turn on tcpip
connections, but it wasn't immediately clear how to easily or
temporarily turn it off (when it's been enabled in postgresql.conf).
In fact, it wasn't clear to me until digging in to postmaster.c that
I could pass '-c tcpip_socket=false' or '--tcpip_socket=false'.
(And then of course when I looked more closely at the man page I
realized I'd missed the proper part of the documentation.) What I'd
been looking for is a flag that would have the opposite effect of
'-i', and it's conceivable that others will be looking for specific
flags to do the opposite of '-F' and '-S'.
I was preparing to add options to postmaster until I realized that
maybe the solution is just to add some documentation.
If you'd rather have 1 character options to accomplish this, I'd be
happy to do that-- adding those 9 lines of code is definitely within
my ability. :) (Although, the "right" letter to be the opposite of -S
isn't clear to me, since -s is already taken.)

The psql interpreter becomes unstable if variable substitutions
are used. The debugger GDB was unable to help however mpatrol
reports that the sprintf at mainloop.c:389 is steping one byte
farther than the allocation.

OK, the attached documentation patch provides some simple examples of
use of tablename as a parameter, %ROWTYPE and %TYPE.
In the end I decided that the documentation is literally correct, but
hard to follow without any examples explicitly showing the use of a
table name as a parameter.

file.
The program seems to compile ok, but when linking a program that uses
the call,
g++ chokes with an undefined reference error.
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I include the code:
Oid PgLargeObject::LOid(){
return pgObject;
}
in the .cc file.

PQExec(" ") in the wrapper around PQnotifies(), fix the Makefile for
the examples so that they will actually compile properly (with the
exception of #5, which depends on internal headers), make a minor change
to libpq++.h so that "make examples" now works on my machine, update
some documentation, fix some grammatical problems, and remove some of
the more hideous comments.

Remove ODBC-compatible empty parentheses from calls to SQL99 functions
for which these parentheses do not match the standard.
Update the ODBC driver to ensure compatibility with the ODBC standard
for these functions (e.g. CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, CURRENT_USER, etc).
Include a new appendix in the User's Guide which lists the labeled features
for SQL99 (the labeled features replaced the "basic", "intermediate",
and "advanced" categories from SQL92). features.sgml does not yet split
this list into "supported" and "unsupported" lists.
Will optimize the case for repeated calls for the same expression,
which seems to be the most common case. Formerly, always searched
from the first entry.
May want to look at the least-recently-used algorithm to make sure it
is identifying the right slots to reclaim. Seems silly to do math when
it seems that we could simply use an incrementing counter...
on the server, if DebugLvl >= 2.
The patch also includes a late addition to the last patch
(X509_check_private_key()). I'm not sure why it the currect
revision wasn't tagged.

If the user has certificates in $HOME/.postgresql/postgresql.crt
and $HOME/.postgresql/postgresql.key exist, they are provided
to the server. The certificate used to sign this cert must be
known to the server, in $DataDir/root.crt. If successful, the
cert's "common name" is logged.
Client certs are not used for authentication, but they could be
via the port->peer (X509 *), port->peer_dn (char *) or
port->peer_cn (char *) fields. Or any other function could be
used, e.g., many sites like the issuer + serial number hash.
