wasn't updated to handle more than two decimal digits for fractional seconds
that now are possible in 7.2.  This patch fixes the timestamp parsing logic.
I have built and tested on both jdbc1 and jdbc2.

to be used, causing extra sql statements to be executed.  This was a
significant performance problem with the database meta data classes.
The fix is a simple one liner.

 DSL line at home broke things right in the middle of an update. :(

 parens. This is not SQL spec syntax, so later we will remove
 this extension from gram.y.

        - Fixed some bugs in exec sql var and exec sql type command.

        - Fixed bug that caused segfault when given incorrect DB name.
        - Fixed bug in ecpglib causing indicator to list the size of the
          variable instead of the size of the data.

the latest version and I wanted to make sure that there was a clean release.

I also change the build files as I discussed in my letter of Nov 6, 2001.  At
the time I was asked to hold off until after the release.

Magnus Hagander that DLL only contains error strings for the Net***
functions, *not* WinSock.  We need to look for a workable solution for
older Windows flavors ... but it won't happen for PG 7.2.

which include files to consider.  Should fix BeOS problems with int8 types.

The bug was that any insert or update would fail if the returned oid was
larger than a signed int.  Since OIDs are unsigned int's it was
a bug that the code used a java signed int to deal with the values.  The bug
would result in the error message: "Unable to fathom update count".
While fixing the bug, it became apparent that other code made a similar
assumption about OIDs being signed ints.  Therefore some methods that returned
or took OIDs are arguements also needed to be changed.
Since we are so close to the 7.2 release I have added new methods that
return longs and deprecated the old methods returning ints.  Therefore all
old code should still work without requiring a code change to cast from long to int.  Also note that the methods below are PostgreSQL specific extensions to
the JDBC api are are not part of the spec from Sun, thus it is unlikely that
they are used much or at all.

The deprecated methods are:
  ResultSet.getInsertedOID()
  Statement.getInsertedOID()
  Serialize.store()
  Connection.putObject()
and are replaced by:
  ResultSet.getLastOID()
  Statement.getLastOID()
  Serialize.storeObject()
  Connection.storeObject()
All the deprecated methods returned int, while their replacements return long

This patch also fixes two comments in MD5Digest that the author Jeremy Wohl
