Subject: [PATCHES] psql - \dt,\di commands.
I sent this a couple of months ago in re a request by Maxim
Kozin, but I had the patch reversed, creating some confusion
over applying it.
Here's a more complete version.
Adds \dt to list only tables/views and \di to list only
indicies. \d will still work as before.
Subject: [PATCHES] destroydb patch
I am including a patch for destroydb to ask for confirmation before
deleting databases (after I accidentally deleted mine)...destroydb -y
would force delete without any confirmation.
Subject: [PATCHES] memory leak patches in libpq and psql
A couple of small memory leak patches (detected with Purify) primarily
in libpq.
* Fixed (NULL) border problem in psql (run psql, do \m, then select
something from a table...row separators will be nulls)
* Fixed memory leak with the abovementioned border not being freed
properly.
* Fixed memory leak in freePGconn() not freeing conn->port
* Fixed up PQclear() to free parts of PGresult only if these
parts are not null.
* Fixed a decent memory leak that occured after executing every command
in psql. PGresult *results was not freed most of the time.
There is still a leak being detected (2 bytes) in readline functions, but
I think this is old readline library. I will install new one and test it.
Subject: [PATCHES] INSTALL changes
This patch modifies the INSTALL file. The changes are:
- SPARC/Linux-ELF was added to the list of supported platforms.
The special notes for it at the bottom of the file were removed.
- Changed "database server" to "RDBMS database server".
- Modified step 6 so that when you restore your database the
tables will be owned by the original owners instead of the
postgresql superuser.
- Modified step 19 on diagnosing the regression tests for the
SPARC Linux platform with a beta release.
- Other minor changes.
Subject: [PATCHES] pqcomprim.c patch
This is the patch by Robert Bruccoleri to fix the endian problem.
(Actually, it's the reverse of his patch. He must have gotten the
order wrong.)
/*
* RelationFlushRelation () below will flush relation information
* from the cache. We must call smgrclose to flush relation
* information from SMGR & FMGR, too. We assume that for temp
* relations smgrunlink is already called by heap_destroyr
* and we skip smgrclose for them. - vadim 05/22/97
*/
smgrclose(reln->rd_rel->relsmgr, reln);
- it avoids memory leaks in SMGR & VFD.
RelationFlushRelation():
there is no more call FileInvalidate(RelationGetSystemPort(relation));
- invalid (FileInvalidate() expects File, not SMGR' fd)
- unuseful anyway.
mdunlink() and mdclose() (too !!!) now free MdfdVec for relation
and add it to free list, so it may be re-used for another relation
later.
2. Fix VFD-manager memory leak (found by Massimo ... and me):
mdunlink() has to call FileUnlink() to free allocation for fileName
and add the Vfd slot to the free list.

- too big number:

^^
- so 12 is real max # of strategies, or StrategyEvaluationIsValid
crashes backend (called if CASSER defined).

Subject: [PATCHES] DROP AGGREGATE gram.y typo...
Somehow I dropped a comma in the gram.y part (line 129) of my
patch for drop aggregate. Here's a correct patch for gram.y.
PS. I hope I got the right comma, manually applied :) (scrappy)
Subject: [PATCHES] AIX make patch resubmitted.
Misc patches for AIX from Darren:
1) New src/makefiles/Makefile.aix This patch should only be
applied if the following patch (4) is applied to backend/Makefile!
Still looking into having configure determine the last line to do
the shared link. The 325 code will work for 41, so I put that in
as the default. Included a commented out 41 line for completeness.
*and*
4) Patch the backend Makefile. I've reviewed this patch with respect to the
other ports that use MAKE_EXPORTS (svr4 and univel) as closely as I could
and I don't see where it will break them. If it does, please let me know
and I'll rework it somehow.
Subject: [PATCHES] Re: [PORTS] AIX 6.1 fixes...
Here are the patches for the two things that wouldn't make it thru the AIX
compiler. The geo_ops.c change is harmless I believe. The nbtcompare.c patch
fixes me, but I don't know about any other ports. Maybe wait on that one
until Vadim decides what to do about the unsigned vs signed chars varlena
issue.
