against the sources from one hour ago and contain all the portable and
up
to date stuff.
A few other CVS "householding" things you might want to take care of:
* Remove the src/bin/cleardbdir directory
* Remove the file src/bin/psql/sql_help.h from the repository, as it is
a derived file and is build by the release_prep.

(which are palloc'd) instead of DLLists (which are malloc'd). Not very
significant, since this routine seldom has anything useful to do, but
a leak is a leak...
them into the scripts dir. I also added a --list option to show already
installed languages.
This whole moving and renaming totally confused CVS and my checked out
copy got completely fried last night. When you apply the source patch,
please make sure that all the directories src/bin/{create|destroy}* as
well as vacuumdb, cleardbdir are gone and that all the scripts (7) are
in
scripts/.
Meanwhile I am still puzzled about what happened with the docs patch.
Because I don't know what you got now, the second attachment contains

parameter in some flavor of Unix, but Linux, HPUX, and SunOS all say
it's int. For now I'm just going to make it int so that I can compile.
If the other way is actually necessary on some Unix somewhere, I guess
we will need a configure test...
This one should work much better than the one I sent in previously. The
functionality is the same, but the patch was missing one file resulting
in
the compilation failing. The docs also received a minor fix.

PQconnectStart
PQconnectPoll
PQresetStart
PQresetPoll
PQsetenvStart
PQsetenvPoll
PQsetenvAbort
and brings into the published interface
PQsetenv.
The first four are asynchronous analogues of PQconnectdb and PQreset -
they allow an application to connect to the DB without blocking on
remote I/O.
The PQsetenv functions perform an environment negotiation with the
server.
Internal to libpq, pqReadReady and pqWriteReady have been made available
across the library (they were previously static functions inside
fe-misc.c). A lot of internal rearrangement has been necessary to
support these changes.
The API documentation has been updated also.
Caveats:
o The Windows code does not default to using non-blocking sockets,
since I have no documentation: Define WIN32_NON_BLOCKING_CONNECTIONS to
do that.
o The SSL code still blocks.

You have CommLog and Debug enabled
You encounter in error in any operation (SQLConnect/SQLExec).
Previously, the extra logging didn't check for NULL pointers
when trying to print some of the strings- the socket error
message could frequently be NULL by design (if there was no socket
error)
and Solaris does not handle NULLS passed to things like printf
("%s\n",string);
gracefully.
This basically duplicates the functionality found in Linux where passing
a null pointer
to printf prints "(NULL)". No very elegant, but the logging is for debug
only anyway.

TO_DATE()
and PgSQL extension FROM_CHAR().
TO_CHAR() routine allow formating text output with a datetime values:
SELECT TO_CHAR('now'::datetime, '"Now is: "HH24:MI:SS');
to_char
----------------
Now is: 21:04:10
FROM_CHAR() routine allow convert text to a datetime:
SELECT FROM_CHAR('September 1999 10:20:30', 'FMMonth YYYY
HH:MI:SS');
from_char
-----------------------------
Wed Sep 01 10:20:30 1999 CEST
TO_DATE() is equal with FROM_CHAR(), but output a Date only:
SELECT TO_DATE('September 1999 10:20:30', 'FMMonth YYYY
HH:MI:SS');
to_date
----------
09-01-1999
In attache is compressed dir for the contrib. All is prepared, but I'am
not
sure if Makefile is good (probably yes).
Comments & suggestions ?
Thomas, thank you for your good advices.
