for Alpha gcc case. For Alpha non-gcc case, replace use of
__INTERLOCKED_TESTBITSS_QUAD builtin with __LOCK_LONG_RETRY and
__UNLOCK_LONG. The former does not execute an MB instruction and
therefore was guaranteed not to work on multiprocessor machines.
The LOCK_LONG builtins produce code that is the same in all essential
details as the gcc assembler code.
In theory we should always get EEXIST if there's a key collision, but
if the kernel code tests error conditions in a weird order, perhaps
EACCES or EIDRM could occur too.
assume that TAS() will always succeed the first time, even if the lock
is known to be free. Also, make sure that code will eventually time out
and report a stuck spinlock, rather than looping forever. Small cleanups
in s_lock.h, too.
drivers.
The first fix fixes the PreparedStatement object to not allocate
unnecessary objects when converting native types to Stings. The old
code used the following format:
(new Integer(x)).toString()
whereas this can more efficiently be occompilshed by:
Integer.toString(x);
avoiding the unnecessary object creation.
The second fix is to release some resources on the close() of a
ResultSet. Currently the close() method on ResultSet is a noop. The
purpose of the close() method is to release resources when the ResultSet
is no longer needed. The fix is to free the tuples cached by the
ResultSet when it is closed (by clearing out the Vector object that
stores the tuples). This is important for my application, as I have a
cache of Statement objects that I reuse. Since the Statement object
maintains a reference to the ResultSet and the ResultSet kept references
to the old tuples, my cache was holding on to a lot of memory.

1. Distinguish cases where a Datum representing a tuple datatype is an OID
from cases where it is a pointer to TupleTableSlot, and make sure we use
the right typlen in each case.
2. Make fetchatt() and related code support 8-byte by-value datatypes on
machines where Datum is 8 bytes. Centralize knowledge of the available
by-value datatype sizes in two macros in tupmacs.h, so that this will be
easier if we ever have to do it again.

table that inherits from a temp table. Make sure the right things happen
if one creates a temp table, creates another temp that inherits from it,
then renames the first one. (Previously, system would end up trying to
delete the temp tables in the wrong order.)
recommendation from Paul Vixie. Add a new abbrev() function to produce
abbreviated format as text. No forced initdb, but new function is not
available unless you do an initdb or add the pg_proc row manually.
If pghost == "" and pgport == "" then PQsetdbLogin() fails with a
error message:
Is the postmaster running locally
and accepting connections on Unix socket '/tmp/.s.PGSQL.0'?
I see many applications such as PHP fails due to this behavior.
Now if pgport == "", then it is assumed to be a DEF_PGPORT_STR. This
is the same behavior as the version prior 7.1.
added to support character set encodings. However I noticed that the
encoding that is used isn't obtained from the DB. Since Java uses
unicode UCS2 internally the character set encoding is used to translate
strings from/to the DB encoding. So it seems logical that the code
would get the encoding from the DB instead of the current method of
requiring the user pass it as a parameter.
Attached is a patch that gets the DB encoding from the DB in the same
manner as is done in libpq/fe-connect.c. The patch is created off of
the latest CVS sources (Connection.java version 1.10).
