1e801a8f16 Hi,
Attached you'll find a (big) patch that fixes make dep and make
depend in all Makefiles where I found it to be appropriate.

It also removes the dependency in Makefile.global for NAMEDATALEN
and OIDNAMELEN by making backend/catalog/genbki.sh and bin/initdb/initdb.sh
a little smarter.

This no longer requires initdb.sh that is turned into initdb with
a sed script when installing Postgres, hence initdb.sh should be
renamed to initdb (after the patch has been applied :-) )

This patch is against the 6.3 sources, as it took a while to
complete.

Please review and apply,

Cheers,

fdb37f073b this patch solve 2 problemes :
probleme number 1 :

- configure can find the library readline , but don't
  find the header file . so in this case we don't use lib readline
  .

probleme number 2 :

- when you have postgres 6.2.1 and readline installed
  with the same prefix( and generally all your software ) .  you
  can compile the version 6.3 .  I use this prefix , when configure
  ask me for "Additional directories to search for include files"
  .

  ( because there a conflict in the header when you
    compile psql.c ) In this case, you must permut the sequence of
  directive -I .

05102c7551 Here are 3 patches (all relative to the src directory) to help with
the configuration of v6.3.1.  I have replaced the queries for
include/lib directories with --with configuration options.  I have
also included a list of potential tcl/tk include directories directly
in the CPPFLAGS variable.  As new versions are needed, these should
be added to the list in reverse numerical order (libraries are in
a separate list near the end).  This greatly simplifies the later
checks if --with-tcl is set.  I hope this solution works for
everyone.

I also added a check to disable the perl support if postgres was
not already installed (as per the instructions in the directory).
By the way, why must there be an installed pgsql to compile perl
support? This seems odd, at best.

Finally, I changed the Makefile in the libpgtcl interface to place
the shared libraries at the end of the list of files, not at the
beginning.  With NetBSD at least, libraries are linked in order,
so the original sequence does not work.

6755026937 A couple of weeks ago I submitted a patch to fix configure --with-tcl.
However somebody else also applied a patch to the same part of
configure to fix a different problem. So part of my patch was not
applied or got reversed or ... whatever.

The attached patch will restore configure --with-tcl to working
order and should remove a lot of the messages complaining about
tcl not working.

896a42a5a7 From: Maurice Gittens <mgittens@david.gits.nl>
After applying the following patch there remain two
probable buffer overruns detected by Electric Fence during
the regression test.
I'll try find out what causes the remain two ones.

This patch also corrects a typo in smgr.c.

3) Add "#include "config.h" to src/interfaces/ecpg/preproc/pgc.l
   to correct "strings.h not found".  config.h has the proper define to
   make this work and should probably be near the top of pgc.l before
   the first include.

2) Add "#define gettimeofday(a,b) gettimeofday(a) to src/include/config.h
        On the 88k SVR4, gettimeofday only has one argument.  This is
        checked for in a few other packages by configure, so there should
        be some examples of the configure test out there.

ef0eecfa1f This simple patch to catalog/pg_type.c fixes a buffer overrun. It
was detected by Electric Fence and triggered by statements like:

	SELECT * into table t from pg_database;

The system would crash on a memmove call in DataFile() with arguments
like this:

	memmove(0x0, 0x0, 0);

dbf34c5c19 This problem had nothing to do with the upgrades I made. There
was a 2000 character buffer allocated for results, and the files
you refer to produce a 2765 byte column called formsource.  This
should not have worked with any version of libpgtcl.

Nevertheless, the limit is an artificial one, since there is no
need to use this intermediate buffer where it is being used and
abused.

57b5966405 The following uuencoded, gzip'd file will ...
1. Remove the char2, char4, char8 and char16 types from postgresql
2. Change references of char16 to name in the regression tests.
3. Rename the char16.sql regression test to name.sql.  4. Modify
the regression test scripts and outputs to match up.

Might require new regression.{SYSTEM} files...

31c36102ca The buffer overrun while creating sequences turns out to be a read
access overrun. For the sake of doing things properly here is a
patch which fixes it.

This patch is for the file backend/commands/sequence.c.

9a0dd4fb18 There's a patch attached to fix gcc 2.8.x warnings, except for the
yyerror ones from bison. It also includes a few 'enhancements' to
the C programming style (which are, of course, personal).

The other patch removes the compilation of backend/lib/qsort.c, as
qsort() is a standard function in stdlib.h and can be used any
where else (and it is). It was only used in
backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_pool.c, backend/optimizer/path/predmig.c,
and backend/storage/page/bufpage.c

There's more to come. Please review these patches. I ran the
regression tests and they only failed where this was expected
(random, geo, etc).

c579ce0fb0 I started adding the Having Clause and it works quite fine for
sequential scans! (I think it will also work with hash, index, etc
but I did not check it out! I made some High level changes which
should work for all access methods, but maybe I'm wrong. Please
let me know.)

Now it is possible to make queries like:

select s.sname, max(p.pid), min(p.pid) from part p, supplier s
where s.sid=p.sid group by s.sname having max(pid)=6 and min(pid)=1
or avg(pid)=4;

Having does not work yet for queries that contain a subselect
statement in the Having clause, I'll try to fix this in the next
days.

If there are some bugs, please let me know, I'll start to read the
mailinglists now!

Now here is the patch against the original 6.3 version (no snapshot!!):

f07c7bf4e7 I have been troubled by a segmentation fault when reloading from
a dumpall.  This has been happening when a second \connect is
encountered.

The faulty code was in fe-connect.c, where the memory for the user
password was freed, but the pointer itself was not set to NULL.
Later, the memory was reused and the password appeared not to be
empty, so that an attempt was made to reference it.
