5eb6de5991 Remove NO_MKTIME_BEFORE_1970. I had speculated that it was not needed
anymore given the mktime() workaround now done in DetermineLocalTimeZone.
This has now been confirmed by Robert Bruccoleri for Irix, and I'm going
to extrapolate to AIX as well.

f9b5b41ef9 Code review for ON COMMIT patch. Make the actual on-commit action happen
before commit, not after :-( --- the original coding is not only unsafe
if an error occurs while it's processing, but it generates an invalid
sequence of WAL entries.  Resurrect 7.2 logic for deleting items when
no longer needed.  Use an enum instead of random macros.  Editorialize
on names used for routines and constants.  Teach backend/nodes routines
about new field in CreateTable struct.  Add a regression test.

c600a6ac47 I am attaching a patch file that will replace the previous one. It only
contains the patches to Makefile.global.in and Makefile.unixware.  The
Makefile.unixware patch has been updated to include the contents of
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, if present, to the -rpath (-R) option.  This change
will  simplify configuring and building PostgreSQL on systems that
support  LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  You can set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to include all
the directorys  you want to have searched for additional libraries, run
configure, then run  make.  The paths in LD_LIBRARY_PATH will then be
embedded in the executables  via the -rpath (-R) option to the linker,
and so will not require  LD_LIBRARY_PATH in order to run.

cfd2728100 This patch makes a minor cleanup to the implementation of PERFORM in
PL/PgSQL. Previously, it had been bundled together with the assign
statement implementation, for some reason that wasn't clear to me
(they certainly don't share any code with one another). So I separated
them and made PERFORM a statement like any other. No changes in
functionality.

Along the way, I added some regression tests for PERFORM, added a
bunch more SGML tags to the PL/PgSQL docs, and removed an obsolete
comment relating to the implementation of RETURN NEXT.

OK, here it comes:

An inlined version of tas(), that works for both, powerpc and
powerpc64. The patch is against 7.3b5 and passes the test suite on
both architectures.

bea4792125 This patch removes a bunch of superfluous #include directives: if
postgres.h or c.h includes a system header (such as stdio.h or
stdlib.h), there's no need to specifically include it in any of the .c
files in the backend.

Bruce Momjian
4c1383efd1 The attached patch defines functions for getting distances between
points on the surface of the earth and locating points within a
specified distance using an index based on the contrib/cube package. The
new functions are all of language type sql. A couple of bugs in the old
earthdistance function based on the point datatype are fixed. A
regression test has been added for both sets of functions. The README
file has been updated to include documentation on the new stuff. There
are comments about how this package is also useful for Astronomers.

337f73b1bb Revise geometry regression testing to eliminate most cross-platform
variation.  To do this, set extra_float_digits to -3 in the geometry
test, and tweak the CIRCLE_TBL dataset to avoid values that suffer
from severe cancellation error (eg, circles that just touch an axis).
We still need two geometry 'expected' files to account for the
difference between platforms that display minus zero as '-0' and those
that just say '0', but with luck that's all we'll need.

b26dfbb0e3 Here is a patch that does just that, while maintaining the
"traditional" behavior, so the change should be transparent. Use the
command "\pset pager always" to turn it on. Anything else does the
normal toggle between "on" and "off"

c2b716ab68 Replace imprecise value of PI with a better one, and tweak circle_poly
in hopes of reducing platform-to-platform variations in its results.
This will cause the geometry regression test to start failing on some
platforms.  I plan to update the test later today.

d2c744aa56 Add extra_float_digits GUC parameter to allow adjustment of displayed
precision for float4, float8, and geometric types.  Set it in pg_dump
so that float data can be dumped/reloaded exactly (at least on platforms
where the float I/O support is properly implemented).  Initial patch by
Pedro Ferreira, some additional work by Tom Lane.

fef731d1c4 The "Allow easy display of usernames in a group (pg_hba.conf uses groups
now)" item on the open items, and subsequent plpgsql function I sent in,
made me realize it was too hard to get the upper and lower bound of an
array. The attached creates two functions that I think will be very
useful when combined with the ability of plpgsql to return sets.

array_lower(array, dim_num)
- and -
array_upper(array, dim_num)

They return the value (as an int) of the upper and lower bound of the
requested dim in the provided array.

02608cbce6 I'm using libpgtcl with PostgreSQL-7.2.3. There is a discrepancy between
the documentation and behavior of "pg_result $res -oid" when $res is not
from an INSERT.  The documentation says it should return an empty
string, but in fact it returns 0. I think it used to return an empty
string around PostgreSQL-7.1.3 when PQoidStatus() was used, but now it
uses PQoidValue() which returns InvalidOid, 0 in this case.

Assuming the current behavior is desired, here is a patch to the
documentation doc/src/sgml/libpgtcl.sgml to match what really happens:

b02d3aaed7 Move substitute extern declarations to end of file, so that they are
not read until after we've read the port-specific header file.  In
particular this should make it safer to #include system headers for
inet_aton; in general it seems that the port header file ought to be
in a position to set definitions before we do stuff based on having
a definition or not.
