f3d2b2e0c7 Markup changes for v6.5 release.

8593e1ff09 Make sure that only one intro is included in the integrated doc. 
Multiple intros cause trouble since they have some section elements
 (e.g. "y2k.sgml") in common leading to duplicate labels.
Include emacs formatting hints in the intro*.sgml sources.

507a0a2ab0 Rip out QueryTreeList structure, root and branch. Querytree 
lists are now plain old garden-variety Lists, allocated with palloc,
rather than specialized expansible-array data allocated with malloc.
This substantially simplifies their handling and eliminates several
sources of memory leakage.
Several basic types of erroneous queries (syntax error, attempt to
insert a duplicate key into a unique index) now demonstrably leak
zero bytes per query.

86dacdb74c libpq++ uses fe_setauthsvc which is deprecated and results in an error 
on connection. This patch changes it to use PQconnectdb rather than
{fe_setauthsvc,PQsetdb}. This still isn't the complete solution, as
there
is no provision for user,password in class PgEnv, but it does get rid of
the error message. Tested with gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201
(egcs-1.1.1 release) under NetBSD-1.3K/i386.

289a826dab Here is a new version of my patch for allowing pg_dump to DROP schema 
elements prior to CREATEing new ones.  It is under control of the -c
command line option (with the default being status quo).

The DROP TRIGGER portion still needs implementation.  Anyone able to
help clarify what exactly the CREATE TRIGGER portion does so I can fix
this?

Again, I have tried this with tables/indexes/sequences, but do not
have other schema elements in my database.  As a result, I am not 100%
convinced that I got the syntax correct in all cases (but think I did,
nonetheless).  If anyone can check the other cases, I'd appreciate it.

Cheers,
Brook

[I added manual page and sgml additions for the new -c option.]

03f1648872 Attached is a patch with some fixes that (I think that) should go into 
6.4.1. Here is the list:

- The type int8 now works. In fact, the bug(s) were in
src/backend/port/snprintf.c, so int8 is probably broken in every platform
that hasn't a native snprintf/vsnprintf. The type itself worked as
expected, only the output was wrong. Anyway, this patch should be checked
in other platforms.

- The regression tests for int2 and int4, which were broken due to
differences in the error messages, are fixed.

- The regression test for float8, which was broken in the reference
platform, is also fixed. I don't know if the new file (float8-OSF1.out)
will work on other platforms, but it might be worth to try it.

- Two new template files are provided (alpha_cc, which includes
optimization, and alpha_gcc), and src/templates/.similar is updated
accordingly. src/templates/alpha should be removed from the distribution.
*IMPORTANT NOTE*: I don't know if you can use gcc to compile postgres;
I've written the alpha_gcc file because alpha_cc has some flags that are
specific to DEC C.

- There is a (very basic) Digital Unix specific FAQ in
doc/FAQ_DigitalUnix.

bf00bbb0c4 I really hope that I haven't missed anything in this one... 
From: t-ishii@sra.co.jp

Attached are patches to enhance the multi-byte support.  (patches are
against 7/18 snapshot)

* determine encoding at initdb/createdb rather than compile time

Now initdb/createdb has an option to specify the encoding. Also, I
modified the syntax of CREATE DATABASE to accept encoding option. See
README.mb for more details.

For this purpose I have added new column "encoding" to pg_database.
Also pg_attribute and pg_class are changed to catch up the
modification to pg_database.  Actually I haved added pg_database_mb.h,
pg_attribute_mb.h and pg_class_mb.h. These are used only when MB is
enabled. The reason having separate files is I couldn't find a way to
use ifdef or whatever in those files. I have to admit it looks
ugly. No way.

* support for PGCLIENTENCODING when issuing COPY command

commands/copy.c modified.

* support for SQL92 syntax "SET NAMES"

See gram.y.

* support for LATIN2-5
* add UNICODE regression test case
* new test suite for MB

New directory test/mb added.

* clean up source files

Basic idea is to have MB's own subdirectory for easier maintenance.
These are include/mb and backend/utils/mb.

Attached are diffs (from current cvs sources) to bring libpq.sgml
and libpq.3 up to date.

It appears that at various times in the past, people have made edits to
one or the other of these files but not both.  I propagated some changes
from each into the other, but I don't think I caught every
inconsistency.  It'd be real nice if the man pages could be
automatically generated from the SGML...

a0659e3e2c From: Tom Lane <tgl@sss.pgh.pa.us> 
Making PQrequestCancel safe to call in a signal handler turned out to be
much easier than I feared.  So here are the diffs.

Some notes:
  * I modified the postmaster's packet "iodone" callback interface to allow
    the callback routine to return a continue-or-drop-connection return
    code; this was necessary to allow the connection to be closed after
    receiving a Cancel, rather than proceeding to launch a new backend...
    Being a neatnik, I also made the iodone proc have a typechecked
    parameter list.
  * I deleted all code I could find that had to do with OOB.
  * I made some edits to ensure that all signals mentioned in the code
    are referred to symbolically not by numbers ("SIGUSR2" not "2").
    I think Bruce may have already done at least some of the same edits;
    I hope that merging these patches is not too painful.
