supposing that they should set SHLIB_LINK rather than LDFLAGS_SL.  Since these
don't go through Makefile.shlib that was a no-op on most platforms.  Also
regularize the few platform-specific Makefiles that did pay attention to
SHLIB_LINK: it seems that the real value of that is to pull in BE_DLLLIBS,
so do that instead.  Per buildfarm failures on cygwin.

not include postgres.h nor anything else it doesn't directly need.  Add
#includes to calling files as needed to compensate.  Per my proposal of
yesterday.

This should be noted as a source code change in the 8.4 release notes,
since it's likely to require changes in add-on modules.

This particular batch was just for *.c and *.h file.

The changes were made with the following 2 commands:

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | while read file ; do head -n 1 < $file | grep -q '^/\*' && echo $file; done | xargs -l sed -i -e '1s/^\// /' -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n *'

find . \( \( -name 'libstemmer' -o -name 'expected' -o -name 'ppport.h' \) -prune \) -o  \( -name '*.[ch]'  \) \( -exec grep -q '\$PostgreSQL' {} \; -o -print \) | xargs -l sed -i -e '1i/*\n * $PostgreSQL:$ \n */'

strings.  This patch introduces four support functions cstring_to_text,
cstring_to_text_with_len, text_to_cstring, and text_to_cstring_buffer, and
two macros CStringGetTextDatum and TextDatumGetCString.  A number of
existing macros that provided variants on these themes were removed.

Most of the places that need to make such conversions now require just one
function or macro call, in place of the multiple notational layers that used
to be needed.  There are no longer any direct calls of textout or textin,
and we got most of the places that were using handmade conversions via
memcpy (there may be a few still lurking, though).

This commit doesn't make any serious effort to eliminate transient memory
leaks caused by detoasting toasted text objects before they reach
text_to_cstring.  We changed PG_GETARG_TEXT_P to PG_GETARG_TEXT_PP in a few
places where it was easy, but much more could be done.

since we supported standard FOREIGN KEY constraint syntax.  It was
harmless enough just sitting there, but the prospect of having to
document it is surely more work than it's worth.

installations whose pg_config program does not appear first in the PATH.
Per gripe from Eddie Stanley and subsequent discussions with Fabien Coelho
and others.

uses SPI plans, this finally fixes the ancient gotcha that you can't
drop and recreate a temp table used by a plpgsql function.

Along the way, clean up SPI's API a little bit by declaring SPI plan
pointers as "SPIPlanPtr" instead of "void *".  This is cosmetic but
helps to forestall simple programming mistakes.  (I have changed some
but not all of the callers to match; there are still some "void *"'s
in contrib and the PL's.  This is intentional so that we can see if
anyone's compiler complains about it.)

Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

in every shared library.

particular get rid of single quotes around language names and old WITH ()
construct.

to avoid useless multiple executions of pg_config.

current time: provide a GetCurrentTimestamp() function that returns
current time in the form of a TimestampTz, instead of separate time_t
and microseconds fields.  This is what all the callers really want
anyway, and it eliminates low-level dependencies on AbsoluteTime,
which is a deprecated datatype that will have to disappear eventually.

conversion of basic ASCII letters.  Remove all uses of strcasecmp and
strncasecmp in favor of new functions pg_strcasecmp and pg_strncasecmp;
remove most but not all direct uses of toupper and tolower in favor of
pg_toupper and pg_tolower.  These functions use the same notions of
case folding already developed for identifier case conversion.  I left
the straight locale-based folding in place for situations where we are
just manipulating user data and not trying to match it to built-in
strings --- for example, the SQL upper() function is still locale
dependent.  Perhaps this will prove not to be what's wanted, but at
the moment we can initdb and pass regression tests in Turkish locale.

$Header: -> $PostgreSQL Changes ...

ALTER TABLE mytable drop column last_column_of_table;

the timetravel trigger say on UPDATE/DELETE:

ERROR:  parser: parse error at end of input


Here is the patch for this bug

B?jthe Zolt?n

the new timetravel.c,
new timetravel.README (cut from spi/README and modified),
modified timetravel.sql.in
and modified timetravel.example.

Features:
- optionally 3 parameter for insert/update/delete user name

- work with CREATE UNIQUE INDEX ixxx on table xxx
(unique_field,time_off);
    (the  original version was work with unique index on 6.5.0-6.5.3,
and not work on 7.3.2,7.3.3)
     (before 6.5.0 and between 6.5.3 and 7.3.2 I dont know)

- get_timetravel(tablename) function for check timetravel-status.

- timetravel trigger not change  oid of the active record. (it is not a
good feature, because the  old version is automatice prevent the paralel
update with "where oid=nnn")

B?jthe Zolt?n

docs that CLIENT/LOG_MIN_MESSAGES now controls debug_* output location.
Doc changes included.

only remnant of this failed experiment is that the server will take
SET AUTOCOMMIT TO ON.  Still TODO: provide some client-side autocommit
logic in libpq.

PostgreSQL source code.

Create objects in public schema.

Make spacing/capitalization consistent.

Remove transaction block use for object creation.

Remove unneeded function GRANTs.

test expected output.  Tweak contrib/spi Makefile so that refint.so is
by default built with appropriate NOTICE support for regression testing.

it's GetUserNameFromId() now.

already fixed by You. However there were a few left and attached patch
should fix the rest of them.

I used StringInfo only in 2 places and both of them are inside debug
ifdefs. Only performance penalty will come from using strlen() like all
the other code does.

I also modified some of the already patched parts by changing
snprintf(buf, 2 * BUFSIZE, ... style lines to
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), ... where buf is an array.
