postgresql/ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-7.1RC2-to-7.1RC3

2001-04-06 11:52  petere

	* INSTALL, doc/src/sgml/installation.sgml: Revert wrong SCO
	OpenServer report, update comments and improve formatting a bit. 
	Regenerate INSTALL.

2001-04-06 11:31  inoue

	* src/interfaces/odbc/convert.c: Sorry my previous change was a
	mistake.

2001-04-06 11:01  thomas

	* doc/src/sgml/fixrtf: Utility to add the stylesheet "s0"
	definition to an RTF file.   This stylesheet must be present for
	Applixware to be happy generating   a ToC. M$Word does not seem to
	care one way or the other.

2001-04-06 10:35  scrappy

	* configure, configure.in, ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-7.1RC2-to-7.1RC3: 
	mark it as RC3 ...

2001-04-06 05:23  inoue

	* src/interfaces/odbc/convert.c: 1) Fit the precision of floating
	point to that of server side	(fix by Hiroki kataoka).  2) Ensure
	the definition of atof()(#include stdlib.h).	(suggestion by
	Masaaki Sakaida).

2001-04-06 01:52  thomas

	* doc/src/sgml/installation.sgml: Final (?) platform update for the
	7.1 release. Includes new platform  NetBSD/PPC from Henry Hotz,
	several other platform updates, and move  QNX to the unsupported
	list for now.

2001-04-06 01:50  thomas

	* src/test/regress/: expected/horology-no-DST-before-1970.out,
	expected/horology-solaris-1947.out, expected/horology.out,
	sql/horology.sql: Alter the previous test for "time with time zone"
	implicit time zone  (which failed miserably during DST) to just
	compare against a time	derived from a timestamp value.  Certainly
	not a direct check for a correct result, but should work  at any
	time of year.

2001-04-05 22:06  tgl

	* src/pl/plpgsql/src/pl_comp.c: Since plpgsql keeps its compiled
	function parsetrees until backend exit, it needs to ensure that
	data structures attached to fmgr info records in the trees will
	stick around that long, too.  Current code was crashing on cases
	like datatypes with old-style I/O functions.

2001-04-05 12:55  tgl

	* src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c: Fix comment that Vadim found
	confusing.

2001-04-05 05:34  vadim

	* src/backend/access/transam/xlog.c: StartupXLOG(): initialize
	XLogCtl->Insert to new page if there is no room for a record on
	last log page.

2001-04-05 04:21  meskes

	* src/interfaces/ecpg/: ChangeLog, lib/typename.c,
	preproc/preproc.y: Hopefully fixed the long long problem.

2001-04-04 22:50  tgl

	* src/bin/pg_dump/pg_dump.c: pg_dump needs to use ONLY when
	selecting data from user tables, in case they have children.  As it
	stood, -d dump mode was badly broken.

2001-04-04 18:57  tgl

	* src/makefiles/Makefile.aix: Clean up AIX makefile to recognize
	subversions of AIX 4.1 correctly.  This patch is Peter E's, but I'm
	applying it on his behalf so it'll get into 7.1RC3 tonight (I'm
	guessing Peter went to bed already).

2001-04-04 17:15  tgl

	* contrib/spi/Makefile, src/backend/Makefile,
	src/makefiles/Makefile.win, src/pl/plpgsql/src/Makefile,
	src/test/regress/GNUmakefile: Fix/cleanup DLLLIBS handling for
	Cygwin port.  If it works it's to Jason Tishler's credit, if it's
	broken it's my fault ...

2001-04-04 16:03  tgl

	* src/test/regress/: expected/horology-no-DST-before-1970.out,
	expected/horology-solaris-1947.out, expected/horology.out,
	sql/horology.sql: Remove daylight-savings-time-dependent tests of
	'time with time zone' datatype.  Perhaps someday we can figure out
	a way of getting reproducible results from testing this type, but
	for now ...

2001-04-04 16:02  petere

	* doc/FAQ_Solaris: update

2001-04-04 11:43  vadim

	* src/backend/commands/sequence.c: Have to lock buffer while
	changing page' LSN.  Thanks to Tom.

2001-04-04 02:47  pjw

	* src/bin/pg_dump/: pg_backup_archiver.h, pg_dump.c: Don't dump
	CHECK constraints with same source and names both starting with
	'$'.

2001-04-03 17:58  vadim

	* src/backend/commands/sequence.c: Log sequence creation (to
	initialize magic number on recovery).

2001-04-03 15:06  tgl

	* contrib/pg_controldata/Makefile: Provide snprintf() if system
	hasn't got it.

2001-04-03 15:01  tgl

	* contrib/pg_resetxlog/Makefile: Provide snprintf() if system
	hasn't got it.

2001-04-03 14:14  momjian

	* doc/FAQ_MSWIN: See attached for a minor documentation patch that
	more accurately reflects the current state of and the issues with
	PostgreSQL on Windows.
	
	Thanks, Jason
	
	-- Jason Tishler

2001-04-03 14:05  tgl

	* src/backend/utils/adt/: datetime.c, timestamp.c: Correct bogus
	mktime() calls.

2001-04-03 09:38  momjian

	* doc/src/sgml/release.sgml: Remove last-updated date stamp for
	7.1.

2001-04-03 04:52  pjw

	* src/bin/pg_dump/: common.c, pg_backup_archiver.h, pg_dump.c,
	pg_dump.h: - Handle overridden attrs as per discussions 2-Apr-2001
	- Dump CHECK constraints in OID order

2001-04-03 00:07  tgl

	* src/backend/storage/file/fd.c: Check for failure of malloc() and
	realloc() when allocating space for VFD entries.  On platforms
	where dereferencing a null pointer doesn't lead to coredump, it's
	possible that this omission could have led to unpleasant behavior
	like deleting the wrong file.

2001-04-02 22:31  tgl

	* src/backend/storage/file/fd.c: open(2) flags saved for re-opening
	a virtual file should probably not include O_CREAT.

2001-04-02 19:30  tgl

	* src/backend/utils/cache/relcache.c: Restore pre-7.1 behavior of
	allowing DROP of a table whose underlying physical file has
	disappeared.  There is no really good reason why relcache should be
	opening the underlying file at all, AFAICS.  In any case we needn't
	raise a hard error here.

2001-04-02 19:20  tgl

	* src/backend/storage/smgr/md.c: _mdfd_getrelnfd() should include
	kernel error code in failure message.

2001-04-02 14:30  tgl

	* src/backend/commands/creatinh.c: Complain if the same column name
	is inherited from multiple parents with different default values,
	unless the child table redeclares the column with an explicit
	default.  This was judged to be the approach least likely to cause
	unpleasant surprises.

2001-04-02 13:59  momjian

	* HISTORY, doc/src/sgml/release.sgml: Update HISTORY/release.sgml
	to current.

2001-04-02 11:19  thomas

	* doc/src/sgml/installation.sgml: Update info for platforms BeOS,
	Tru64, Linux/MIPS, Linux/x86, NetBSD/Alpha,  NetBSD/arm,
	NetBSD/VAX, OpenBSD/Sparc, Solaris, Ultrix.

2001-04-02 10:34  momjian

	* src/backend/catalog/index.c: Disable creation of indexes on
	system tables.

2001-04-02 04:17  meskes

	* src/interfaces/ecpg/: ChangeLog, preproc/pgc.l: Synced pgc.l with
	scan.l.

2001-04-01 23:21  tgl

	* src/backend/Makefile: Remove duplicate definition of DLLLIBS, per
	gripe from Fred Yankowski.

2001-04-01 23:08  tgl

	* src/backend/port/dynloader/: freebsd.c, netbsd.c, openbsd.c: Tom
	Ivar Helbekkmo <tih@kpnQwest.no> says that dynamic linking works
	now on VAX NetBSD.  Hence, remove #ifdef'd disable tests.

2001-04-01 18:37  tgl

	* src/backend/optimizer/plan/planner.c: Planner wasn't correctly
	handling adjustment of tuple_fraction for the case of LIMIT in a
	sub-select.

2001-04-01 15:15  scrappy

	* configure, configure.in, ChangeLogs/ChangeLog-7.1RC1-to-7.1RC2: 
	RC2 preparations ...
