Python) to support shared extension modules, I have learned that Guido
prefers the style of the attached patch to solve the above problem.
I feel that this solution is particularly appropriate in this case
because the following:
PglargeType
PgType
PgQueryType
are already being handled in the way that I am proposing for PgSourceType.

value of DESTDIR like the rest (or at least most) of the PostgreSQL
makefiles. I found this problem when trying to package a pre-built
Cygwin PostgreSQL distribution, but this problem is platform independent.
The problem manifests itself when one tries to install into a stagging
area (e.g., to build a tarball) instead of a real install. In this case,
pg.py and _pgmodule$(SO) still end up being installed in the configured
prefix directory ignoring the value of DESTDIR.
Unfortunately, this patch does not handle the case where PostgreSQL
and Python are configured with different prefixes. Since the Python
Makefile is automatically generated and does not use DESTDIR, I believe
that this issue will be difficult to correct. If anyone has ideas on
how to fix this issue, then I'm quite willing to rework the patch to
take the suggestion into account.

am talking with Thomas Lockhart about the idea of bringing the PyGreSQL
version number into alignment with PostgreSQL so this may change to 7.1
before the release.
I have added to the copyright to indicate that from now on the PostgreSQL
copyright will apply. If someone wants to make that clearer please do.
The existing copyrights need to stay there for now but if necessary I can
ask Pascal Andre if he agrees to a different wording.
Added reference to the Python DB-API 2.0 compliant API wrapper.
Added reference to the PyGreSQL mailing list.
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.

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.
