Assign the fixed user id 1 to the user created by initdb.
A stand-alone backend will always set the user id to 1.
(Consequently, the name of that user is no longer important.)
In stand-alone mode, the user id 1 will have implicit superuser
status, to allow repairs even if there are no users defined.
Print a warning message when starting in stand-alone mode when no
users are defined.
Disallow dropping the current user and session user.
Granting/revoking superuser status also grants/revokes usecatupd.
(Previously, it would never grant it back. This could lead to "deadlocks".)
CREATE USER and CREATE GROUP will start allocating user ids at 100
(unless explicitly specified), to prevent accidental creation of a
superuser (plus some room for future extensions).

Forget it! A default client encoding must be set by actual database encoding...
Please apply the small attached patch that solve it better.

We will no longer try to send elog messages to the client before we have
initialized backend libpq (oops); however, reporting bogus commandline
switches via elog does work now (not irrelevant, because of PGOPTIONS).
Fix problem with inappropriate sending of checkpoint-process messages

suite. This reduces the number of failures from 9 to 7.
Both ConnectionTest and JBuilderTest did not create their own
tables, which caused these test cases to fail with "relation ...
does not exist". It appears these test cases relied on tables
created by the example code elsewhere in the source tree. I've
added the necessary "create table" and "drop table" statements
to the test cases, using the column definitions from the example
code.
While working on that I modified the helper method createTable
in JDBC2Tests.java to take a table parameter, rather than using
table names passed via the properties in build.xml. I'm not sure
what that was good for, and in fact, except for the default
table name "jdbctest", this functionality wasn't used at all.

discussion on pgsql-hackers (especially the frightening memory dump in
<12273.999562219@sss.pgh.pa.us>), we decided that it is best not to
use identifiers from an untrusted source at all. Therefore, all
claims of the suitability of PQescapeString() for identifiers have
been removed.

table creation time. Big deal you say - but this patch is the basis of the
next thing which is adding PRIMARY KEYs after table creation time. (Which
is currently impossible without twiddling catalogs)

* I have made the makeObjectName function of analyze.c non-static, and
exported it in analyze.h
* I have included analyze.h and defrem.h into command.c, to support
makingObjectNames and creating indices
* I removed the 'case CONSTR_PRIMARY' clause so that it properly fails and
says you can't add primary keys, rather than just doing nothing and
reporting nothing!!!
* I have modified the docs.
Algorithm
---------
* If name specified is null, search for a new valid constraint name. I'm
not sure if I should "lock" my generated name somehow tho - should I open
the relation before doing this step?
* Open relation in access exclusive mode
* Check that the constraint does not already exist
* Define the new index
* Warn if they're doubling up on an existing index

Yes, it seems broken. It is a bug in libpgtcl. Are you running Tcl >= 8.3.2?
That's when the Tcl team changed the data structure for channel
callbacks. The change itself was designed to be backward compatible, but I
suspect a related change made the code more sensitive to errors in the
structure (NULL pointers where functions are required). Either that, or
nobody has tried to use libpgtcl with COPY in a long time.
First, I have to say I can't think of a good reason to use PostgreSQL's
COPY command from a Tcl application. I think it should only be used with
psql for importing data from another source into PostgreSQL, or for
exporting PostgreSQL data into another database (but why would anyone do
that?) If it was me, I would stick with SELECT and INSERT and be "SQL
Compliant".
OK, editorial is over. Try applying the patch below to fix
src/interfaces/libpgtcl/pgtclId.c
and let us know if it works. I did little testing on it, but my test did
segfault before and ran fine (copy in and copy out) after the patch. This
is for PostgreSQL-7.1.2 - since you are running older 7.0, I don't know if
this will work, but I suspect it will.
PS It's the absence of PgWatchProc which kills it. I didn't upgrade it
to the "V2" channel type structure, so it should be compatible with older
Tcl's. But aside from gets and puts, I doubt any other file operations
would work on the handle during a copy.

occur unconditionally, even if the rule should otherwise execute
conditionally. This is more useful than giving an error, even though it's
not truly the correct behavior. Per today's pghackers discussion.
