type different from input type but are expecting ExecAgg to insert the
first non-null input as the starting transition value.  This has always
been verboten, but wasn't checked for until now...

There's now only one transition value and transition function.
NULL handling in aggregates is a lot cleaner.  Also, use Numeric
accumulators instead of integer accumulators for sum/avg on integer
datatypes --- this avoids overflow at the cost of being a little slower.
Implement VARIANCE() and STDDEV() aggregates in the standard backend.

Also, enable new LIKE selectivity estimators by default.  Unrelated
change, but as long as I had to force initdb anyway...

stuff, but fixing the bug that existed in reporting the constraint name
changes the error line.  Patch to expected output enclosed.

Stephan Szabo

 Include updates for the comment.sql regression test.
Implement SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS and SET DefaultXactIsoLevel.
Implement SET SESSION CHARACTERISTICS TRANSACTION COMMIT
 and SET AutoCommit in the parser only.
 Need to add code to actually do something.
Implement WITHOUT TIME ZONE type qualifier.
Define SCHEMA keyword, along with stubbed-out grammar.
Implement "[IN|INOUT|OUT] [varname] type" function arguments
 in parser only; INOUT and OUT throws an elog(ERROR).
Add PATH as a type-specific token, since PATH is in SQL99
 to support schema resource search and resolution.

* Add option to build with OpenSSL out of the box. Fix thusly exposed
  bit rot. Although it compiles now, getting this to do something
  useful is left as an exercise.

* Fix Kerberos options to defer checking for required libraries until
  all the other libraries are checked for.

* Change default odbcinst.ini and krb5.srvtab path to PREFIX/etc.

* Install work around for Autoconf's install-sh relative path anomaly.
  Get rid of old INSTL_*_OPTS variables, now that we don't need them
  anymore.

* Use `gunzip -c' instead of g?zcat. Reportedly broke on AIX.

* Look for only one of readline.h or readline/readline.h, not both.

* Make check for PS_STRINGS cacheable. Don't test for the header files
  separately.

* Disable fcntl(F_SETLK) test on Linux.

* Substitute the standard GCC warnings set into CFLAGS in configure,
  don't add it on in Makefile.global.

* Sweep through contrib tree to teach makefiles standard semantics.

... and in completely unrelated news:

* Make postmaster.opts arbitrary options-aware. I still think we need to
  save the environment as well.

functional.

Handle include file installation in src/include/Makefile

genbki.sh improvements: Don't substitute anything by config.status,
instead pass in AWK and CPP through environment. Change calling
convention to support named output files, so we get to see error
messages on stderr.

Rename bootstrap template files and install them into PREFIX/share.
Update initdb to that effect and other readability improvements
in initdb.

one of updating the whole text datatype, but there are so dang many
calls of these two routines that it seems worth a separate commit.

for
to_char() too.

Chris Bitmead

 Now the to_timestamp() support WW,W,J,SSSS,DDD conversion from strings and
the am/pm bug is fixed, the to_char() use week-of-year (WW) full compatible
with Oracle.

 This patch update relevant regress-tests and docs too.

interfaces and interfaces/odbc make files. Adjusted regression test
driver to start building and installing in the top level directory.

entries now for int8 and network hash indexes.  int24_ops and int42_ops
are gone.  pg_opclass no longer contains multiple entries claiming to be
the default opclass for the same datatype.  opr_sanity regress test
extended to catch errors like these in the future.

Add options to configure to automatically build for Kerberos
support; no more editing of make files.

functions that take pass-by-value datatypes.  Should be ready for
port testing ...

compatiblity with old rules.

quote-stripping, and acl-checking tasks for these functions from the
parser, and do them at function execution time instead.  This fixes
the failure of pg_dump to produce correct output for nextval(Foo)
used in a rule, and also eliminates the restriction that the argument
of these functions must be a parse-time constant.

inputs have been converted to newstyle.  This should go a long way towards
fixing our portability problems with platforms where char and short
parameters are passed differently from int-width parameters.  Still
more to do for the Alpha port however.

the src/include tree, so that -I backend is no longer necessary anywhere.
Also, clean up some bit rot in contrib tree.

CurrentTriggerData is history.

is in <string> and not in <string.h> on QNX4/egcs-2.91.60.
Probably this can be changed for all platforms. The test in line 1705 uses
<string> as well. Because I am not sure, I havn't this included into the
patch.

doc/Makefile has to be sligthly  modified as it has been done for
src/backend/Makefile due to a QNX4 problem (patch attached)

Furthermore src/test/regress/run_check.sh needs to be patched as it has been
done for regress.sh (patch attached). Please note that in the patch the
postmaster is started always with the -i option.

run_check.sh reports the test "limit" as failed, but in reallity it is OK.
regress.sh reports it as OK.

Andreas Kardos

just use the portable form,
tr ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
There were a bunch of places that weren't paying attention to configure's
result anyway (including configure itself!?); clean them up too.

Make it behave correctly when there are more than two tables being
joined, also.  Update regression test expected outputs.

know if that case ever breaks again...
