Tom Lane	4fec55af6c	Fix several problems with simple_prompt() --- the nastiest being that the entered password would get echoed on some platforms, eg HPUX. We have enough copies of this code that I'm thinking it ought to be moved into libpq, but that's a task for another day.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	1e2779117d	Fix some portability problems (get it to compile, at least, on HP's cc)	25 years ago
Peter Eisentraut	17cc78ef01	To fix the perpetually broken makefiles in the contrib tree, I have written a generic framework of rules that the contrib makefiles can use instead of writing their own each time. You only need to set a few variables and off you go.	25 years ago
Tom Lane	1173344e74	Adjust WAL code so that checkpoints truncate the xlog at the previous checkpoint's redo pointer, not its undo pointer, per discussion in pghackers a few days ago. No point in hanging onto undo information until we have the ability to do something with it --- and this solves a rather large problem with log space for long-running transactions. Also, change all calls of write() to detect the case where write returned a count less than requested, but failed to set errno. Presume that this situation indicates ENOSPC, and give the appropriate error message, rather than a random message associated with the previous value of errno.	25 years ago
