2002-01-09	Fix use of 'char' to hold result of getc, per bug report forwarded by	Tom Lane
	Oliver Elphick. A few other minor cleanups while at it.
2002-01-09	Fix portability problem (result of getopt is int, not char).	Tom Lane

2002-01-09	Remove clog copy.	Bruce Momjian

2002-01-09	Make improvements to pg_upgrade; is still disabled.	Bruce Momjian

2002-01-09	Add quotes around $bindir.	Bruce Momjian

2002-01-09	Fix include paths for case of VPATH build.	Tom Lane

2002-01-08	make install failed in VPATH build.	Tom Lane

2002-01-08	Fix copy-and-paste mistake exposed by gcc warning.	Tom Lane

2002-01-08	In a VPATH build, resultmap must be one of the symlinked files, else	Tom Lane
	pg_regress doesn't see it and you don't get any port-specific comparisons.
2002-01-08	Revert last change (CFLAGS+=-g). Probably was a mistake...	Peter Eisentraut

2002-01-08	Remove shift/reduce conflicts introduced by last change.	Tom Lane

2002-01-08	Fix lpad() and rpad() to produce correct results in variable-length	Tom Lane
	multibyte encodings.
2002-01-08	Fixed array pointers, no longer using void * in arithmetics.	Michael Meskes

2002-01-07	Tweak LWLock algorithms so that an awakened waiter for a lock is not	Tom Lane
	granted the lock when awakened; the signal now only means that the lock is potentially available. The waiting process must retry its attempt to get the lock when it gets to run. This allows the lock releasing process to re-acquire the lock later in its timeslice. Since LWLocks are usually held for short periods, it is possible for a process to acquire and release the same lock many times in a timeslice. The old spinlock-based implementation of these locks allowed for that; but the original coding of LWLock would force a process swap for each acquisition if there was any contention. Although this approach reopens the door to process starvation (a waiter might repeatedly fail to get the lock), the odds of that being a big problem seem low, and the performance cost of the previous approach is considerable.
2002-01-07	Fixed parser to accept initializing expressions starting with "(".	Michael Meskes

2002-01-07	Editorial review	Peter Eisentraut

2002-01-06	If we fail to fork a new backend process, (try to) report the failure	Tom Lane
	to the client before closing the connection. Before 7.2 this was done correctly, but new code would simply close the connection with no report to the client.
2002-01-06	Add CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() in various strategic spots, per comments	Tom Lane
	from Hiroshi.
2002-01-05	Bugfix for bug reported by Marcus Better (marcus@dactylis.com). When preforming	Barry Lind
	a get on a bytea value the code was running the raw value from the server through character set conversion, which if the character set was SQL_ASCII would cause all 8bit characters to become ?'s.
2002-01-04	Fix some incorrect and obsolete commentary.	Tom Lane

2002-01-04	Have to_date() call timestamptz_date() per Karel's email instructions.	Thomas G. Lockhart
	Fixes time zone problems introduced by Thomas' implementation of TIMESTAMP WITHOUT TIME ZONE which caused the behavior of the previously appropriate routine, timestamp_date(), to change for the worse in this context.
2002-01-04	Replace #ifdef, #endif with # requires comment.	Bruce Momjian

2002-01-03	Require ownership permission for CREATE INDEX, per bug report.	Tom Lane
	Disallow CREATE INDEX on system catalogs, non-tables (views, sequences, etc). Disallow CREATE/DROP TRIGGER on system catalogs, non-tables. Disallow ALTER TABLE ADD/DROP CONSTRAINT on system catalogs. Disallow FOREIGN KEY reference to non-table. None of these things can actually work in the present system structure, but the code was letting them pass without complaint.
2002-01-03	Instead of waiting a fixed amount of time for the test postmaster to	Tom Lane
	start up, wait until a psql connection attempt succeeds. Per gripe from Jason Tishler.
2002-01-03	SPI_cursor_open must copy by-reference parameter values into the	Tom Lane
	portal's memory context, so that they will live as long as the portal does.
2002-01-03	Shouldn't try to copy null datums with datumCopy.	Tom Lane

2002-01-03	Droplang didn't have test for -l, list. This was really broken too.	Bruce Momjian
	Took test from createlang.
2002-01-03	Add mention that createlang.sh indirection not needed but kept for later.	Bruce Momjian

2002-01-03	droplang had same problem as createlang; default are backwards and did	Bruce Momjian
	not work. Fixed to match createlang.
2002-01-03	In createlang, make dbname optional, not langname, or rather, make	Bruce Momjian
	existing code of dbname optional actually work.
2002-01-03	Guard against roundoff errors in new selectivity-estimation code,	Tom Lane
	per bug report from Laurette Cisneros.
2002-01-02	Fix to_timestamp/to_date so that zero year input for Y, YY, or YYY	Tom Lane
	formats will be taken as 2000, not year zero. Per bug report from Aasmund Midttun Godal. Fix from Karel Zak.
2002-01-01	Do not accept interrupts in RESUME_INTERRUPTS() and END_CRIT_SECTION()	Tom Lane
	macros, but only at explicit CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS() calls. Not clear whether overenthusiastic acceptance of interrupts accounts for any real bugs, but it definitely seems risky and unnecessary.
2002-01-01	Fix race condition that could allow two concurrent transactions	Tom Lane
	to insert the same key into a supposedly unique index. The bug is of low probability, and may not explain any of the recent reports of duplicated rows; but a bug is a bug.
2002-01-01	Rename TIME token to ISOTIME to eliminate conflict with gram.y parser	Thomas G. Lockhart
	token. Seems to be isolated to datetime.c and datetime.h.
2001-12-30	Make sure that all <ctype.h> routines are called with unsigned char	Tom Lane
	values; it's not portable to call them with signed chars. I recall doing this for the last release, but a few more uncasted calls have snuck in.
2001-12-29	Oops, only wanted datetime.c changes in there. lock stuff reversed out.	Bruce Momjian

2001-12-29	Fix newly introduced datetime.c compile failure; not enough parens.	Bruce Momjian

2001-12-29	Check a bit more carefully for preceeding ISO field tags	Thomas G. Lockhart
	when decoding date fields.
2001-12-29	Rework the date/time parsing to tighten up some cases and to enable other	Thomas G. Lockhart
	cases which should have worked but did not. Now supports julian day (J2452271), ISO time labels (T040506) and various combinations of spaces and run-togethers of dates, times, and time zones. All regression tests pass, and I have more tests to add after the 7.2 release (don't want to require changes to the ancillary horology result files until after then).
2001-12-28	Improve LOCK_DEBUG logging code for LWLocks.	Tom Lane

2001-12-28	Update from Serguei Mokhov	Peter Eisentraut

2001-12-28	Ensure that all direct uses of spinlock-protected data structures use	Tom Lane
	'volatile' pointers to access those structures, so that optimizing compilers will not decide to move the structure accesses outside of the spinlock-acquire-to-spinlock-release sequence. There are no known bugs in these uses at present, but based on bad experience with lwlock.c, it seems prudent to ensure that we protect these other uses too. Per pghackers discussion around 12-Dec. (Note: it should not be necessary to worry about structures protected by LWLocks, since the LWLock acquire and release operations are not inline macros.)
2001-12-28	Oops, back out paren fix. That is for 7.3.	Bruce Momjian

2001-12-28	Add mention of Christof Petig for ecpg items.	Bruce Momjian

2001-12-27	Update from Serguei Mokhov	Peter Eisentraut

2001-12-24	Place PAM before REJECT in sample file.	Bruce Momjian

2001-12-23	- Removed space_or_nl and line_end from pgc.l.	Michael Meskes
	- Fixed several bugs concerning arrays of structs including a memory allocation bug.
2001-12-23	Fix mispeling ...	Tom Lane

2001-12-21	Czech translation updates from Karel Zak	Peter Eisentraut
