Converted pgcrypto one too.
* Changed default randomness source to libc random()
That way pgcrypto does not have any external dependencies
and should work everywhere.
* Re-enabled pgcrypto build in contrib/makefile
* contrib/README update - there is more stuff than
only 'hash functions'
* Noted the libc random fact in README.pgcrypto

salt generation code. He also urged using better random source
and making possible to choose using bcrypt and xdes rounds more
easily. So, here's patch:
* For all salt generation, use Solar Designer's own code. This
is mostly due fact that his code is more fit for get_random_bytes()
style interface.
* New function: gen_salt(type, rounds). This lets specify iteration
count for algorithm.
* random.c: px_get_random_bytes() function.
Supported randomness soure: /dev/urandom, OpenSSL PRNG, libc random()
Default: /dev/urandom.
* Draft description of C API for pgcrypto functions.
New files: API, crypt-gensalt.c, random.c

under libdir, for a cleaner separation in the installation layout

installed in the said location, giving them the benefit of the
default search path as well. No changes in user interface
nevertheless.

Also, remove compile-time MAXBACKENDS limit per long-ago proposal.
You can now set MaxBackends as high as your kernel can stand without
any reconfiguration/recompilation.
written a generic framework of rules that the contrib makefiles can
use instead of writing their own each time. You only need to set a few
variables and off you go.
pgsql-hackers. pg_opclass now has a row for each opclass supported by each
index AM, not a row for each opclass name. This allows pg_opclass to show
directly whether an AM supports an opclass, and furthermore makes it possible
to store additional information about an opclass that might be AM-dependent.
pg_opclass and pg_amop now store "lossy" and "haskeytype" information that we
previously expected the user to remember to provide in CREATE INDEX commands.
Lossiness is no longer an index-level property, but is associated with the
use of a particular operator in a particular index opclass.
Along the way, IndexSupportInitialize now uses the syscaches to retrieve
pg_amop and pg_amproc entries. I find this reduces backend launch time by
about ten percent, at the cost of a couple more special cases in catcache.c's
IndexScanOK.

left the old code in the tarball). This means *proper* XPath support, and

metaphone() in a contrib. There seem to be a fair number of different
approaches to both of these algorithms. I used the simplest case for
levenshtein which has a cost of 1 for any character insertion, deletion, or
substitution. For metaphone, I adapted the same code from CPAN that the PHP
folks did.
A couple of questions:
1. Does it make sense to fold the soundex contrib together with this one?
2. I was debating trying to add multibyte support to levenshtein (it would
make no sense at all for metaphone), but a quick search through the contrib
directory found no hits on the word MULTIBYTE. Should worry about adding
multibyte support to levenshtein()?

* The ability to index more than one column in a table with a single
trigger.
* All uses of sprintf changed to snprintf to prevent users from crashing
Postgres.
* Error messages made more consistent
* Some changes made to bring it into line with coding requirements for
triggers specified in the docs. (ie. check you're a trigger before casting
your context)
* The perl script that generate indices has been updated to support indexing
multiple columns in a table.
* Fairly well tested in our development environment indexing a food
database's brand and description fields. The size of the fti index is
around 300,000 rows.
* All docs and examples upgraded. This includes specifying more efficient
index usage that was specified before, better examples that don't produce
duplicates, etc.

substrings of two characters or greater, and is case-sensitive.
This patch makes it work correctly. It generates only the suffixes of each
word, plus lowercases them - as specified by the README file.
This brings it into line with the fti.c function, makes it case-insensitive
properly, removes the problem with duplicate rows being returned from an fti
search and greatly reduces the size of the generated index table.
It was written by my co-worker, Brett Toolin.

rather than deleting them only to have to create more. Steady state
is 2*CHECKPOINT_SEGMENTS + WAL_FILES + 1 segment files, which will
simply be renamed rather than constantly deleted and recreated.
To make this safe, added current XLOG file/offset number to page
header of XLOG pages, so that an un-overwritten page from an old
incarnation of a logfile can be reliably told from a valid page.
This change means that if you try to restart postmaster in a CVS-tip
database after installing the change, you'll get a complaint about
bad XLOG page magic number. If you don't want to initdb, run
contrib/pg_resetxlog (and be sure you shut down the old postmaster
cleanly).
redirections between the build files, which didn't work completely. Now
you just go to the directory of your choice and run make. Clean up the

Oracle database to PostgreSQL.
It currently dump the database schema (tables, views, sequences,
indexes, grants), with primary, unique and foreign keys into PostgreSQL
syntax without editing the SQL code generated. You can dump only a
particular schema from the Oracle database.
Functions, procedures and triggers with SQL or PLSQL code generated must
be reviewed to match the PostgreSQL syntax. Some usefull recommandation
on porting Oracle to PostgreSQL can be found at
http://techdocs.postgresql.org/
under the "Converting from other Databases to PostgreSQL" Oracle part. I
just
notice one thing more is that the trunc() function in Oracle is the same for
number
or date so be carefull when porting to PostgreSQL to use trunc() for number
and
date_trunc() for date.
I will add more precision in type NUMBER conversion based on length to match
as closest as possible all rich PostgreSQL numerics type. But it seems not to be
urgent as it seems that Oracle DBAs only create number with length 22 (default)
Space seems not to be their problem...

around. I tested this patch under Cygwin and Linux.
Note that I only changed dblink's Makefile in the most minimal way
to fix the link problem under Cygwin (i.e., use the link rule from
Makefile.shlib instead). dblink's Makefile should probably be further
patched to be consistent with the other PostgreSQL Makefiles.
Jason Tishler
Cygwin with the possible exception of mSQL-interface. Since I don't
have mSQL installed, I skipped this tool.
Except for dealing with a missing getopt.h (oid2name) and HUGE (seg),
the bulk of the patch uses the standard PostgreSQL approach to deal with
Windows DLL issues.
I tested the build aspect of this patch under Cygwin and Linux without
any ill affects. Note that I did not actually attempt to test the code
for functionality.
The procedure to apply the patch is as follows:
$ # save the attachment as /tmp/contrib.patch
$ # change directory to the top of the PostgreSQL source tree
$ patch -p0 </tmp/contrib.patch

checkpoint's redo pointer, not its undo pointer, per discussion in
pghackers a few days ago. No point in hanging onto undo information
until we have the ability to do something with it --- and this solves
a rather large problem with log space for long-running transactions.
Also, change all calls of write() to detect the case where write
returned a count less than requested, but failed to set errno.
Presume that this situation indicates ENOSPC, and give the appropriate
error message, rather than a random message associated with the previous
value of errno.
in c.h we should be using the visible structure. We should only see
de-TOASTed values in this program. The old method refused to compile
because the length macro was no longer an lvalue.

This is a bug alright. And a silly one :)

a PostgreSQL user-defined function. The Metaphone system is a method of
matching similar sounding names (or any words) to the same code.
Metaphone was invented by Lawrence Philips as an improvement to the popular

> OK, add #include <stdio.h> to the file. That should fix it.
Seems unlikely, since libpq-fe.h already includes <stdio.h>.
The real problem here is that the code is wrong: it's passing NULL
to an int parameter.
regards, tom lane
are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.
timing, I know :)) At the moment the digest() function returns
hexadecimal coded hash, but I want it to return pure binary. I
have also included functions encode() and decode() which support
'base64' and 'hex' encodings, so if anyone needs digest() in hex
he can do encode(digest(...), 'hex').
Main reason for it is "to do one thing and do it well" :)
Another reason is if someone needs really lot of digesting, in
the end he wants to store the binary not the hexadecimal result.
It is really silly to convert it to hex then back to binary
again. As I said if someone needs hex he can get it.
Well, and the real reason that I am doing encrypt()/decrypt()
functions and _they_ return binary. For testing I like to see
it in hex occasionally, but it is really wrong to let them
return hex. Only now it caught my eye that hex-coding in
digest() is wrong. When doing digest() I thought about 'common
case' but hacking with psql is probably _not_ the common case :)

- These methods in org.postgresql.jdbc2.ResultSet are now implemented:
getBigDecimal(int) ie: without a scale (why did this get missed?)
getBlob(int)
getCharacterStream(int)
getConcurrency()
getDate(int,Calendar)
getFetchDirection()
getFetchSize()
getTime(int,Calendar)
getTimestamp(int,Calendar)
getType()
NB: Where int represents the column name, the associated version
taking a String were already implemented by calling the int
version.
- These methods no longer throw the not implemented but the new noupdate
error. This is in preparation for the Updateable ResultSet support
which will overide these methods by extending the existing class to
implement that functionality, but needed to show something other than
notimplemented:
cancelRowUpdates()
deleteRow()
- Added new error message into errors.properties "postgresql.noupdate"
This is used by jdbc2.ResultSet when an update method is called and
the ResultSet is not updateable. A new method notUpdateable() has been
added to that class to throw this exception, keeping the binary size
down.
- Added new error message into errors.properties "postgresql.psqlnotimp"
This is used instead of unimplemented when it's a feature in the
backend that is preventing this method from being implemented.
- Removed getKeysetSize() as its not part of the ResultSet API

patched obsolete code.

- Updated Implementation to include both ANT & JBuilder
- Updated README to reflect the changes since 7.0
- Created jdbc.jpr file which allows JBuilder to be used to edit the
source. JBuilder _CAN_NOT_ be used to compile. You must use ANT for
that. It's only to allow JBuilders syntax checking to improve the
drivers source. Refer to Implementation for more details

Eliminate some of the more blatant platform-dependencies ... it
builds here now, anyway ...
----------------------------
Which basically changes u_int*_t -> uint*_t, so now it does not
compile neither under Debian 2.2 nor under NetBSD 1.5 which
is platform independent<B8> all right. Also it replaces $KAME$
with $Id$ which is Bad Thing. PostgreSQL Id should be added as a
separate line so the file history could be seen.
So here is patch:
* changes uint*_t -> uint*. I guess that was the original
intention
* adds uint64 type to include/c.h because its needed
[somebody should check if I did it right]
* adds back KAME Id, because KAME is the master repository
* removes stupid c++ comments in pgcrypto.c
* removes <sys/types.h> from the code, its not needed

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.
level" locks. A session lock is not released at transaction commit (but it
is released on transaction abort, to ensure recovery after an elog(ERROR)).
In VACUUM, use a session lock to protect the master table while vacuuming a
TOAST table, so that the TOAST table can be done in an independent
transaction.
I also took this opportunity to do some cleanup and renaming in the lock
code. The previously noted bug in ProcLockWakeup, that it couldn't wake up
any waiters beyond the first non-wakeable waiter, is now fixed. Also found
a previously unknown bug of the same kind (failure to scan all members of
a lock queue in some cases) in DeadLockCheck. This might have led to failure
to detect a deadlock condition, resulting in indefinite waits, but it's
difficult to characterize the conditions required to trigger a failure.

This form seemed to be the most portable, readable, and logical, but in any
case it's better than having a dozen different ones in the tree.
in pghackers list. Support for oldstyle internal functions is gone
(no longer needed, since conversion is complete) and pg_language entry
'internal' now implies newstyle call convention. pg_language entry
'newC' is gone; both old and newstyle dynamically loaded C functions
are now called language 'C'. A newstyle function must be identified
by an associated info routine. See src/backend/utils/fmgr/README.
maintained for each cache entry. A cache entry will not be freed until
the matching ReleaseSysCache call has been executed. This eliminates
worries about cache entries getting dropped while still in use. See
my posting to pg-hackers of even date for more info.
kibitzing from Tom Lane. Large objects are now all stored in a single
system relation "pg_largeobject" --- no more xinv or xinx files, no more
relkind 'l'. This should offer substantial performance improvement for
large numbers of LOs, since there won't be directory bloat anymore.
It'll also fix problems like running out of locktable space when you
access thousands of LOs in one transaction.
Also clean up cruft in read/write routines. LOs with "holes" in them
(never-written byte ranges) now work just like Unix files with holes do:
a hole reads as zeroes but doesn't occupy storage space.
INITDB forced!
source directory. This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".". (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)
Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS). Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.
Remove a bunch of crufty code for large-object-based arrays, which is
superseded by TOAST and likely hasn't worked in a long time anyway.
Clean up array code a little, and in particular eliminate its habit
of scribbling on the input array (ie, modifying the input tuple :-().
* the result is not recorded anywhere
* the result is not used anywhere
* the result is only used in some places, whereas others have been getting away with it
* the result is used improperly
Also make command line options handling a little better (e.g., --disable-locale,
while redundant, should really still *dis*able).
* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
useful is left as an exercise.
* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
all the other libraries are checked for.
* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.
* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
anymore.
* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.
* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.
* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
separately.
* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.
* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
don't add it on in Makefile.global.
* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.
... and in completely unrelated news:
* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
save the environment as well.
