1999-02-02Fix create_rule is->as.Bruce Momjian
1999-02-02Add TEMP tables/indexes. Add COPY pfree(). Other cleanups.Bruce Momjian
1999-01-21Here is a new version of my patch for allowing pg_dump to DROP schemaBruce Momjian
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.]

1998-12-18Attached is a patch with some fixes that (I think that) should go intoBruce Momjian
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. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pedro José Lobo Perea Tel: +34 91 336 78 19

1998-11-29Use autoconf to determine whether system has POSIX signals,Tom Lane
