	* src/bin/pg_dump/: pg_backup.h, pg_backup_archiver.c,
	pg_backup_archiver.h, pg_backup_custom.c, pg_backup_files.c,
	pg_backup_tar.c, pg_dump.c: Patch to put rudimentary dependency
	support into pg_dump. This addresses the UDT/function order
	problem.
	
	    - Rudimentary support for dependencies in archives.
	      Uses dependencies to modify the OID used in sorting TOC
	      entries. This will NOT handle multi-level dependencies,
	      but will manage simple relationships like UDTs & their
	functions.
	
	    - Treat OIDs with more respect (avoid using ints, use macros
	      for conversion & comparison).

	* src/interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c: On Cygwin, do initial
	connect() call in blocking mode, per report from Jason Tishler.

2001-03-31 18:13  tgl

	* src/interfaces/libpq/fe-misc.c: pqWait() should check for
	exception status as well as read or write ready.  It appears that
	most (all?) Unixen will consider a socket to be read or write ready
	if it has an error condition, but of course Microsoft does things
	differently.

2001-03-30 15:50  tgl

	* src/: backend/commands/creatinh.c,
	test/regress/expected/create_table.out,
	test/regress/expected/inherit.out: Re-allow specification of a new
	default value for an inherited column in CREATE TABLE, but give a
	warning notice.  Clean up inconsistent handling of defaults and NOT
	NULL flags from multiply-inherited columns.  Per pghackers
	discussion 28-Mar through 30-Mar.

	* src/interfaces/python/pgdb.py: Marc-Andre is changing where
	DateTime goes.	This change allows the module to work either way. 
	Change submitted by Andrew Kuchling <akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>

2001-03-30 07:04  darcy

	* src/interfaces/python/pgdb.py: Correct indenting in _quote()
	function.  Fix submitted by Andrew Kuchling
	<akuchlin@mems-exchange.org>

2001-03-30 00:25  tgl

	* src/include/storage/itemptr.h: Add appropriately ifdef'd hack to
	make ARM compiler allocate ItemPointerData as six bytes not eight. 
	This fixes a regression test failure but more importantly avoids
	wasting four bytes of pad space in every tuple header.	Also add
	some commentary about what's going on.

2001-03-29 23:50  tgl

	* src/bin/psql/tab-complete.c: random_seed => seed ...

2001-03-29 17:09  momjian

	* src/bin/pgaccess/lib/languages/chinese_big5: Put proper pgaccess
	Chinese big5 file in place.

2001-03-29 14:03  petere

	* src/backend/commands/variable.c: Rename 'random_seed' back to
	'seed'.

2001-03-29 13:25  petere

	* doc/src/sgml/manage-ag.sgml: small fixes

2001-03-29 04:58  meskes

	* src/interfaces/ecpg/: ChangeLog, include/ecpgtype.h: Applied bug
	fix by Adriaan Joubert <a.joubert@albourne.com>

2001-03-28 15:46  tgl

	* doc/src/sgml/mvcc.sgml: Correct erroneous description of MVCC
	Read Committed semantics.

2001-03-27 13:02  tgl

	* src/backend/optimizer/prep/prepunion.c: Quick hack to fix Oliver
	Elphick's problem with subselects in an inheritance query: make
	duplicate copies of subplans in adjust_inherited_attrs.  When we
	redesign querytrees we really gotta do something about this issue
	of whether querytrees are read-only and can share substructure or
	not.

2001-03-27 12:12  tgl

	* src/backend/optimizer/util/clauses.c: Repair pgindent damage to
	comments.

2001-03-27 11:34  momjian

	* doc/src/Makefile: > Kinda looks like Ian broke the
	compile-in-source-dir case while
	> making the compile-in-separate-dir case work.  Tut tut.
	
	Yes.  My apologies.  This patch is one way to fix things.
	
	Ian

2001-03-27 09:56  momjian

	* doc/FAQ_AIX, src/Makefile.shlib,
	src/backend/port/aix/mkldexport.sh: The following patch updates the
	FAQ_AIX and makes C++ code work with more recent versions of the
	IBM C++ compiler (now called VisualAge C++).  The C++ part was
	previously broken (g++ and xlC), thus this is zero risk.  Only AIX
	specific parts are touched (1 Makefile.shlib line (link with
	$(COMPILER ) instead of $(CC) and one shell script line (parameter
	-C to nm to not demangle C++ symbo ls for .exp file)).
	
	I thus ask you to please apply this patch before release.
	
	With or without this patch RC1 on AIX 4.3.2 RS6000 passes "gmake
	check" for both  the native compiler vac.C 5.0.1 and gcc 2.95.2 :-)
	
	Andreas

2001-03-27 05:53  darcy

	* src/interfaces/python/setup.py: Add changes from Mikhail Terekhov
	<terekhov@emc.com>.
	
	Use Extension method from distutils.
	
	Cleaned up mismatched indentation styles while I was at it.

2001-03-27 00:45  ishii

	* src/bin/: initdb/initdb.sh, scripts/createdb: Add checking for
	valid database encoding.

	connection.c, connection.h, convert.c, convert.h, dlg_specific.c,
	dlg_specific.h, drvconn.c, environ.c, environ.h, execute.c, gpps.c,
	gpps.h, info.c, iodbc.h, isql.h, isqlext.h, lobj.c, lobj.h, misc.c,
	misc.h, multibyte.c, multibyte.h, options.c, parse.c, pgtypes.c,
	pgtypes.h, psqlodbc.c, psqlodbc.h, qresult.c, qresult.h, results.c,
	setup.c, socket.c, socket.h, statement.c, statement.h, tuple.c,
	tuple.h, tuplelist.c, tuplelist.h: ODBC source code cleanup. 
	Mostly alignment of #define constants.

2001-03-26 20:16  tgl

	* src/backend/storage/buffer/s_lock.c: Spell __volatile__
	correctly.

2001-03-26 12:51  momjian

	* src/test/regress/resultmap: OpenBSD resultmap change:
	
	I posted this to the list a few days ago,  but it was not
	addressed.  Can someone please make the changes to the
	src/test/regress/resultmap?
	
	Thanks.

	alignment of local char[n] variables.

2001-03-25 13:14  tgl

	* doc/src/sgml/func.sgml: The regexp pattern characters ^ and $
	should be explained as matching at the beginning and end of the
	input string, not the beginning and end of "a line", since Postgres
	does not allow them to match at newline characters in the data.

2001-03-25 12:52  tgl

	* src/include/storage/s_lock.h: Re-order declarations to un-break
	the non-HAS_TEST_AND_SET case.

2001-03-25 05:16  petere

	* doc/src/sgml/pltcl.sgml: spell fix

2001-03-25 03:32  petere

	* doc/src/: Makefile, sgml/Makefile: Allow building documentation
	outside source tree.  from Ian Lance Taylor

2001-03-24 19:45  tgl

	* src/backend/access/heap/tuptoaster.c: Fix code that incorrectly
	assumed a 'char foo[N]' local variable would be aligned on a word
	boundary.  Per report from Steve Nicolai.

2001-03-24 18:32  petere

	a long time ... but when I did, it turned out that the libpq

	filter rule works.

	a few other minor improvements.
