2000-08-28New configure test for flex, which recognizes only flex but does so in allPeter Eisentraut
incarnations (I hope). When an acceptable flex version is not found, print instructive error messages from both configure and the makefiles, so that users can continue building anyway.
2000-08-27Clean up callers of AllocateFile and BasicOpenFile to ensure thatTom Lane
a reasonable error message (including the kernel errno message) is reported on any file open failure.
2000-08-27Change ReleaseLruFile() usage so that if we cannot release any moreTom Lane
virtual FDs, we just return the ENFILE/EMFILE error to the caller, rather than immediate elog(). This allows more robust behavior in the postmaster, which uses AllocateFile() but does not want elog().
2000-08-27Update FAQ.Bruce Momjian
2000-08-27Remove configure tests for `signed', `volatile', and signal handler args;Peter Eisentraut
the harm potential outweighs the possible benefits.
2000-08-27Change pg_mblen and pg_encoding_mblen return types from voidTatsuo Ishii
to int so that they return the number of whcars.

2000-08-26Tired of seeing these warnings ...Tom Lane
2000-08-26Rename BITSPERBYTE to BITS_PER_BYTE to avoid conflict with <values.h>Tom Lane
on some platforms.
2000-08-26Fix AC_FUNC_ACCEPT_ARGTYPES to accept `const struct sockaddr *' as secondPeter Eisentraut
argument, change the order of tests for the third argument to be safe against missing prototypes, and make it fail hard if none of the combinations succeed.
2000-08-26This file seems not to have been updated for the mostTom Lane
recent change to geometry.sql.

2000-08-26Add pg-config utility that stores some configuration parameters otherPeter Eisentraut
packages can use to configure their build. E.g., $ pg-config --libdir /usr/local/pgsql/lib `pg-config --configure' stores the configure command line.
2000-08-25Tweak btree insertion to avoid O(N^2) slowdown with large numbers ofTom Lane
equal keys. See discussion of today's date in pghackers list.
2000-08-25Avoid creating a TOAST table if we can prove that the maximum tupleTom Lane
length is < TOAST_TUPLE_THRESHOLD, even with toastable column types present. For example, CREATE TABLE foo (f1 int, f2 varchar(100)) does not require a toast table, even though varchar is a toastable type.
2000-08-25Fix typos and inconsistancies found by He WeipingThomas G. Lockhart
(aka Henry) <laser@zhangmai.com.cn>. Fix new problems in insert.sgml and create_function.sgml which kept jade from completing.
2000-08-25Change return type of:Tatsuo Ishii
pg_mb2wchar(const unsigned char *, pg_wchar *); pg_mb2wchar_with_len(const unsigned char *, pg_wchar *, int); from void to int. Now they return the number of wide chars.
2000-08-25Make the location of the Kerberos server key file run time configurablePeter Eisentraut
(rather than compile time). For libpq, even when Kerberos support is compiled in, the default user name should still fall back to geteuid() if it can't be determined via the Kerberos system. A couple of fixes for string type configuration parameters, now that there is one.
2000-08-24Documentation updates to reflect TOAST and new-style fmgr.Tom Lane
2000-08-24Documentation updates to reflect TOAST and new-style fmgr.Tom Lane
2000-08-24GetAttributeByName and GetAttributeByNum should be declared to returnTom Lane
Datum, not char*, for portability's sake.
2000-08-24Update funcs tutorial for new function manager.Tom Lane
2000-08-24SQL-language functions are now callable in ordinary fmgr contexts ...Tom Lane
for example, an SQL function can be used in a functional index. (I make no promises about speed, but it'll work ;-).) Clean up and simplify handling of functions returning sets.
2000-08-23Comment fixes from Larry Rosenman" <ler@lerctr.org>.Thomas G. Lockhart
2000-08-23Add functions to convert to and from text, and to truncate to MAC OUI.Thomas G. Lockhart
Remove hardcoded macaddr_manuf(), which had really old, obsolete info. Replace this with some contrib/mac/ code to maniag OUI info from IEEE.
2000-08-23Create and manage information on MAC address OUIsThomas G. Lockhart
(Organizationally Unique Identifiers). This is the manufacturer's code in the MAC address.
2000-08-23Fix several <ulink> tags which refer to e-mail addressesThomas G. Lockhart
but were missing the "mailto:" prefix. Fix typo. Thanks to Neil Conway <nconway@klamath.dyndns.org> for the heads-up.
2000-08-22Fix plpgsql lexer to accept Windows-style and Mac-style newlines asTom Lane
newlines.
2000-08-22Make scanner multibyte aware. Currently it may produce an incorrectTatsuo Ishii
multibyte sequence while truncating identifiers.
2000-08-22Make makeObjectName multibyte aware. Currently, it may produceTatsuo Ishii
incorrect multibyte sequence while truncating too long names.
2000-08-22Add multibyte support for both LIKE and ILIKETatsuo Ishii
Eliminate up-to-4-times memory allocation problem
2000-08-22Fix a many-legged critter reported by chifungfan@yahoo.com: under theTom Lane
right circumstances a hash join executed as a DECLARE CURSOR/FETCH query would crash the backend. Problem as seen in current sources was that the hash tables were stored in a context that was a child of TransactionCommandContext, which got zapped at completion of the FETCH command --- but cursor cleanup executed at COMMIT expected the tables to still be valid. I haven't chased down the details as seen in 7.0.* but I'm sure it's the same general problem.
2000-08-22Add some more Assert checks.Tom Lane
2000-08-21Move pg_checkretval out of the planner (where it never belonged) intoTom Lane
pg_proc.c (where it's actually used). Fix it to correctly handle tlists that contain resjunk target items, and improve error messages. This addresses bug reported by Krupnikov 6-July-00.
2000-08-21Fix format_type() to display correct lengths for BIT/BIT VARYING.Tom Lane
Also, make it depend on type OIDs rather than type names for more consistency with rest of backend.
2000-08-21fmgr interface mopup work. Use new DatumGetBool and BoolGetDatumTom Lane
macros where appropriate (the code used to have several different ways of doing that, including Int32, Int8, UInt8, ...). Remove last few references to float32 and float64 typedefs --- it's all float4/float8 now. The typedefs themselves should probably stay in c.h for a release or two, though, to avoid breaking user-written C functions.
2000-08-21First pass at integrating BIT and BIT VARYING code from Adriaan Joubert.Tom Lane
Update functions to new-style fmgr, make BIT and VARBIT be binary- equivalent, add entries to allow these types to be btree indexed, correct a few bugs. BIT/VARBIT are now toastable, too. NOTE: initdb forced due to catalog updates.
2000-08-20Standardize on just one spelling of BITSPERBYTE.Tom Lane
2000-08-20coupla minor fixes in the `make dist' support codePeter Eisentraut
2000-08-20Substitute libdir into createlang as last resort so one doesn't have to setPeter Eisentraut
PGLIB or use any option anymore.
2000-08-20Introduce HAVE_UNIX_SOCKETS symbol to replace repeatedly listing all thePeter Eisentraut
unsupported platforms.
2000-08-20Make functional indexes accept binary-compatible functions, for exampleTom Lane
CREATE INDEX fooi ON foo (lower(f1)) where f1 is varchar rather than text.
2000-08-19./configure --without-CXX errroneously tried to use a C++ compiler named "no"Peter Eisentraut
reported by Mark Hollomon
2000-08-13Clean up handling of variable-free qual clauses. System now does theTom Lane
right thing with variable-free clauses that contain noncachable functions, such as 'WHERE random() < 0.5' --- these are evaluated once per potential output tuple. Expressions that contain only Params are now candidates to be indexscan quals --- for example, 'var = ($1 + 1)' can now be indexed. Cope with RelabelType nodes atop potential indexscan variables --- this oversight prevents 7.0.* from recognizing some potentially indexscanable situations.
2000-08-12Mop-up for removal of ':' and ';' operators ... like, say, actuallyTom Lane
take 'em out of pg_operator. Also remove from scan.l's set of legal operator characters. Update documentation.
2000-08-12Fix ruleutils to produce correct output for array assignment, suchTom Lane
as UPDATE foo SET arr[3] = 42.
2000-08-11Update comments for some parse node types.Tom Lane
2000-08-11copyObject() and equal() now know about all parse-time node types,Tom Lane
including utility statements. Still can't copy or compare executor state, but at present that doesn't seem to be necessary. This makes it possible to execute most (all?) utility statements in plpgsql. Had to change parsetree representation of CreateTrigStmt so that it contained only legal Nodes, and not bare string constants.
