compressible but not externally storable (since we're not sure about
whether creating a toast relation for pg_class would work).

for details).  It doesn't really do that much yet, since there are no
short-term memory contexts in the executor, but the infrastructure is
in place and long-term contexts are handled reasonably.  A few long-
standing bugs have been fixed, such as 'VACUUM; anything' in a single
query string crashing.  Also, out-of-memory is now considered a
recoverable ERROR, not FATAL.
Eliminate a large amount of crufty, now-dead code in and around
memory management.
Fix problem with holding off SIGTRAP, SIGSEGV, etc in postmaster and
backend startup.

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

"rb" and "wb".

key call sites are changed, but most called functions are still oldstyle.
An exception is that the PL managers are updated (so, for example, NULL
handling now behaves as expected in plperl and plpgsql functions).
NOTE initdb is forced due to added column in pg_proc.

running gcc and HP's cc with warnings cranked way up.  Signed vs unsigned
comparisons, routines declared static and then defined not-static,
that kind of thing.  Tedious, but perhaps useful...

Fewer calls to nameout.

Better use of RelationGetRelationName.

Now indexes of pg_class and pg_type are unique indexes
and guarantee the uniqueness of correponding attributes.
heap_create() was changed to take another boolean parameter
which allows to postpone the creation of disk file.
The name of rd_nonameunlinked was changed to rd_unlinked.
It is used generally(not only for noname relations) now.
Requires initdb.

eliminating some wildly inconsistent coding in various parts of the
system.  I set MAXPGPATH = 1024 in config.h.in.  If anyone is really
convinced that there ought to be a configure-time test to set the
value, go right ahead ... but I think it's a waste of time.

pg_dump and interfaces/odbc still need some work.)

This patch should enable 6.5 to build on Motorola 68000 architecture.

been applied. The patches are in the .tar.gz attachment at the end:

varchar-array.patch     this patch adds support for arrays of bpchar() and
                        varchar(), which where always missing from postgres.

                        These datatypes can be used to replace the _char4,
                        _char8, etc., which were dropped some time ago.

block-size.patch        this patch fixes many errors in the parser and other
                        program which happen with very large query statements
                        (> 8K) when using a page size larger than 8192.

                        This patch is needed if you want to submit queries
                        larger than 8K. Postgres supports tuples up to 32K
                        but you can't insert them because you can't submit
                        queries larger than 8K. My patch fixes this problem.

                        The patch also replaces all the occurrences of `8192'
                        and `1<<13' in the sources with the proper constants
                        defined in include files. You should now never find
                        8192 hardwired in C code, just to make code clearer.

need not be bogus.

no longer returns buffer pointer, can be gotten from scan;
	descriptor; bootstrap can create multi-key indexes;
pg_procname index now is multi-key index; oidint2, oidint4, oidname
are gone (must be removed from regression tests); use System Cache
rather than sequential scan in many places; heap_modifytuple no
longer takes buffer parameter; remove unused buffer parameter in
a few other functions; oid8 is not index-able; remove some use of
single-character variable names; cleanup Buffer variables usage
and scan descriptor looping; cleaned up allocation and freeing of
tuples; 18k lines of diff;

Through some minor changes, I have been able to compile the libpq
client libraries on the Win32 platform. Since the libpq communications
part has been rewritten, this has become much easier. Enclosed is
a patch that will allow at least Microsoft Visual C++ to compile
libpq into both a static and a dynamic library.  I will take a look
at porting the psql frontend as well, but I figured it was a good
idea to send in these patches first - so no major changes are done
to the files before it gets applied (if it does).

1. Remove the char2, char4, char8 and char16 types from postgresql
2. Change references of char16 to name in the regression tests.
3. Rename the char16.sql regression test to name.sql.  4. Modify
the regression test scripts and outputs to match up.

Might require new regression.{SYSTEM} files...

What it does:
It solves stupid problem with cyrillic charsets IP-based on-fly recoding.
take a look at /data/charset.conf for details.
You can use any tables for any charset.
Tables are from Russian Apache project.
Tables in this patch contains also Ukrainian characters.

Then run ./configure --enable-recode

Add pg_description table for info on tables, columns, operators, types, and aggregates.  Modify psql with new \dd operator to access description

Another PGINDENT run that changes variable indenting and case label indenting.  Also static variable indenting.

Note that this version is probably identical to two versions ago.
