the expected behavior in mixed-case situations.
bug report from James Pattie, 2001-08-31

Use --enable-nls to turn it on; see installation instructions for details.
See developer's guide how to make use of it in programs and how to add
translations.
psql sources have been almost fully prepared and an incomplete German
translation has been provided. In the backend, only elog() calls are
currently translatable, and the provided German translation file is more
of a placeholder.

still looking at the best way to integrate Tom Vijlbrief's fixes
(insofar as they're still needed); would 7.2 be a suitable time for
incompatible API changes?
Jeroen
Changes:
(*) Introduced bool, true, false (replacing some int, 1, 0)
(*) Made some member functions const
(*) Documented GetIsNull()
(*) Marked DisplayTuples() and PrintTuples() as obsolescent; fixed possible
portability problem (assumed that NULL pointer equals all-zero bit pattern)
(*) PrintTuples(): renamed width parameter to fillAlign to conform with other
usage; fixed memory leak and compile issue w.r.t. field separator (should
also slightly improve performance)
(*) Fixed some minor compilation issues
(*) Moved "using namespace std;" out of headers, where they didn't belong; used
new (temporary) preprocessor macro PGSTD to do this
(*) Made ToString() static, removed unneeded memset(), made buffer size adapt
to sizeof(int)
(*) Made some constructors explicit
(*) Changed some const std::string & parameters to plain std::string
(*) Marked PgCursor::Cursor(std::string) as obsolescent (setter with same name
as getter--bad style)
(*) Renamed some paramaters previously named "string"
(*) Introduced size_type typedef for number of tuples in result set
(*) PgTransaction now supports re-opening after closing, and aborts if not
explicitly committed prior to destruction

are now separate files "postgres.h" and "postgres_fe.h", which are meant
to be the primary include files for backend .c files and frontend .c files
respectively. By default, only include files meant for frontend use are
installed into the installation include directory. There is a new make
target 'make install-all-headers' that adds the whole content of the
src/include tree to the installed fileset, for use by people who want to
develop server-side code without keeping the complete source tree on hand.
Cleaned up a whole lot of crufty and inconsistent header inclusions.

and two 'win32.mak'. Addresses the following:
1) Oops. Spelled fcntl.h wrong in the last one. D'uh.
2) PG_VERSION changed to be defined with " around it. psql/command.c failed
to compile without that.
3) Changed makefiles to use "/MD" and link both psql and libpq.dll against
MSVCRT.DLL instead of a static library. This takes care of the
crash-upon-free in psql.
I *think* this is what is on the "Open 7.1 Items" list as "Magnus Hagander
ODBC Issues?". It has nothing to do with ODBC, but it's the only issue I've
been involved with...

and psql) again. Changes are:
1) psql requires the includes of "io.h" and "fcntl.h" in command.c in order
to make a call to open() work (io.h for _open(), fcntl.h for the O_xxx)
2) PG_VERSION is no longer defined in version.h[.in], but in configure.in.
Since we don't do configure on native win32, we need to put it in
config.h.win32 :-(
3) Added define of SYSCONFDIR to config.h.win32 - libpq won't compile
without it. This functionality is *NOT* tested - it's just defined as "" for
now. May work, may not.
4) DEF_PGPORT renamed to DEF_PGPORT_STR
I have done the "basic tests" on it - it connects to a database, and I can
run queries. Haven't tested any of the fancier functions (yet).
However, I stepped on a much bigger problem when fixing psql to work. It no
longer works when linked against the .DLL version of libpq (which the
Makefile does for it). I have left it linked against this version anyway,
pending the comments I get on this mail :-)
The problem is that there are strings being allocated from libpq.dll using
PQExpBuffers (for example, initPQExpBuffer() on line 92 of input.c). These
are being allocated using the malloc function used by libpq.dll. This
function *may* be different from the malloc function used by psql.exe - only
the resulting pointer must be valid. And with the default linking methods,
it *WILL* be different. Later, psql.exe tries to free() this string, at
which point it crashes because the free() function can't find the allocated
block (it's on the allocated blocks list used by the runtime lib of
libpq.dll).
Shouldn't the right thing to do be to have psql call termPQExpBuffer() on
the data instead? As it is now, gets_fromFile() will just return the pointer
received from the PQExpBuffer.data (this may well be present at several
places - this is the one I was bitten by so far). Isn't that kind of
"accessing the internals of the PQExpBuffer structure" wrong? Instead,
perhaps it shuold make a copy of the string, adn then termPQExpBuffer() it?
In that case, the string will have been allocated from within the same
library as the free() is called.
I can get it to work just fine by doing this - changing from (around line
100 of input.c):
and the same a bit further down in the same function.
But, as I said above, this may be at more places in the code? Perhaps
someone more familiar to it could comment on that?
What do you think shuld be done about this? Personally, I go by the "If you
allocate a piece of memory using an interface, use the same interface to
free it", but the question is how to make it work :-)
Also, AFAIK this only affects psql.exe, so the changes made to the libpq
this patch are required no matter how the other issue is handled.

Magnus

hosting product, on both shared and dedicated machines. We currently
offer Oracle and MySQL, and it would be a nice middle-ground.
However, as shipped, PostgreSQL lacks the following features we need
that MySQL has:
1. The ability to listen only on a particular IP address. Each
hosting customer has their own IP address, on which all of their
servers (http, ftp, real media, etc.) run.
2. The ability to place the Unix-domain socket in a mode 700 directory.
This allows us to automatically create an empty database, with an
empty DBA password, for new or upgrading customers without having
to interactively set a DBA password and communicate it to (or from)
the customer. This in turn cuts down our install and upgrade times.
3. The ability to connect to the Unix-domain socket from within a
change-rooted environment. We run CGI programs chrooted to the
user's home directory, which is another reason why we need to be
able to specify where the Unix-domain socket is, instead of /tmp.
4. The ability to, if run as root, open a pid file in /var/run as
root, and then setuid to the desired user. (mysqld -u can almost
do this; I had to patch it, too).
The patch below fixes problem 1-3. I plan to address #4, also, but
haven't done so yet. These diffs are big enough that they should give
the PG development team something to think about in the meantime :-)
Also, I'm about to leave for 2 weeks' vacation, so I thought I'd get
out what I have, which works (for the problems it tackles), now.
With these changes, we can set up and run PostgreSQL with scripts the
same way we can with apache or proftpd or mysql.
In summary, this patch makes the following enhancements:
1. Adds an environment variable PGUNIXSOCKET, analogous to MYSQL_UNIX_PORT,
and command line options -k --unix-socket to the relevant programs.
2. Adds a -h option to postmaster to set the hostname or IP address to
listen on instead of the default INADDR_ANY.
3. Extends some library interfaces to support the above.
4. Fixes a few memory leaks in PQconnectdb().
The default behavior is unchanged from stock 7.0.2; if you don't use
any of these new features, they don't change the operation.

Here is a patch to bring both libpq and psql to a state where it compiles on
win32 (native) again. A lot of things have changed, and I have not been able
to keep up with them all, so it has been broken for quite a while.
After this patch, at least it compiles. It also talks "basic talk" to the
server, but I have not yet tested all things. Sending queries, and using
e.g. \d or \dt works fine. The rest will have to be tested further.
It also bumps the version on libpq.dll to 7.0.
Everything should be enclosed in #ifdef WIN32, unless I have missed
something. Except for one or maybe two places where I have moved a #include
that should not be used on win32 from the "global area" into a "#ifndef
WIN32 area".
