Actually required by multi-column indices support.
We still don't use btree for 'A is (not) null', but
now btree keep items with NULL attrs using single rule
for placing/finding items on pages:
NULLs greater NOT_NULLs and NULL = NULL.
+ Bulkload code (nbtsort.c) support for multi-column indices
building and NULLs.
+ Fix for btendscan()->pfree(scanopaque) from Chris Dunlop.

is in use by btree now.

Thanks to D'Arcy for pointing this one out

Subject: [HACKERS] backend/utils/adt/nabstime.c
There is a problem with some of the calls to strftime. The second arg is
missing. In all cases the buffer is CTZName which, according to the
file init/globals.c, is char CTZName[8] so I have added this value.
I know there should be a #define set up for this but I wasn't sure
which header to put it in.

Subject: [HACKERS] libpq/pqcomm stuff and Solaris byte order
I decided to go ahead with the required changes since no one else seems
to. I don't guarantee that it is perfect but with these changes the
package actually compiles. While I was at it I added to the Sparc
Solaris header to define the byte order. Note that NetBSD sets this
in the system headers so it wasn't required there.
In particular, someone may want to check whether I removed the correct
84 lines from backend/libpq/pqcomprim.c.

include crypt.h in password.c if crypt.h does exist

*hopefully* will fix the linux configuration problem..?

Subject: [HACKERS] auth.c for kerberos.
I made pgsql with eBones(international version of Kerberos4). The
following modification was needed. And I added read permition for
group to srvtab instead of running postmaster as root.

According to man page under FreeBSD for sys_errlist[], strerror() should be
used instead...not sure if this will break other systems, so only changing
two files for now, and we'll see what "errors" it turns up

of common routines in pqcomprim.c (pq communication primitives).
Not all adapted to it yet, but it's a start.
- Rewritten some of those routines, to write/read bigger chunks of
data, precomputing stuff in buffers instead of sending out byte
by byte.
- As a consequence, I need to know the endianness of the machine.
Currently I rely on getting it from machine/endian.h, but this
may not be available everywhere? (Who the hell thought it was
a good idea to pass integers to the backend the other way around
than the normal network byte order? *argl*)
- Libpq looks in the environment for magic variables, and upon
establishing a connection to the backend, sends it queries
of the form "SET var_name TO 'var_value'". This needs a change
in the backend parser (Mr. Parser, are you there? :)
- Currently it looks for two Env-Vars, namely PG_DATEFORMAT
and PG_FLOATFORMAT. What else makes sense? PG_TIMEFORMAT?
PG_TIMEZONE?

Subject: [HACKERS] Patches for 970316 compilation
I made a small pre-emptive change in the new datetime code to eliminate
calls to infnan(). Hopefully this will make Solaris (and probably other
non-GNUlib) systems happier. Didn't find fe-connect.h in the 970316
distribution, so made one up. Also, one of the test routines needs an
update for the geo-decls.h -> geo_decls.h name change.
Patches appear below...

Subject: [HACKERS] Patch for io routines
I am currently trying to improve on the front-backend communication
routines; and noticed that lots of code are duplicated for libpq and
the backend. This is a first patch that tries to share code between
the two, more to follow.

Subject: [HACKERS] lock debug trace
This is an update to my previous patches for lock debugging, already applied
to the current sources. It adds some improvements in the output messages and
some more output in WaitOnLock(). I have used with success to trace a nasty
deadlock condition on pg_listener.

Just noticed that the psql man page is missing the -T option for specifying
HTML table options.

Subject: [HACKERS] timestamp type
OK, last one. This patch adds an ANSI SQL 'timestamp' type.

Subject: [HACKERS] password authentication
This patch adds support for plaintext password authentication. To use
it, you add a line like
host all 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 password pg_pwd.conf
to your pg_hba.conf, where 'pg_pwd.conf' is the name of a file containing
the usernames and password hashes in the format of the first two fields
of a Unix /etc/passwd file. (Of course, you can use a specific database
name or IP instead.)
Then, to connect with a password through libpq, you use the PQconnectdb()
function, specifying the "password=" tag in the connect string and also
adding the tag "authtype=password".
I also added a command-line switch '-u' to psql that tells it to prompt
for a username and password and use password authentication.
