significant performance problem with the database meta data classes.
The fix is a simple one liner.

Fix lack of precision in numeric stddev/variance.

won't rewrite the query in a way that places set-returning functions
into quals (WHERE clauses).  Cf. bug reports from Joe Conway.

reordering operations at its whim.  Releasing TAS lock before we've
finished updating proc structure is uncool.

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

        - Fixed bug that caused segfault when given incorrect DB name.

of COPY IN in a test with 8000-character lines.  I wouldn't normally
commit a performance improvement this late in the cycle, but 25% got
my attention...

AlterTableAddConstraint.  Earlier reorganization of the parser's
processing of ALTER TABLE means that these node types no longer get here.

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.
