ExecutorRun.  This allows LIMIT to work in a view.  Also, LIMIT in a
cursor declaration will behave in a reasonable fashion, whereas before
it was overridden by the FETCH count.

Sorry 'bout that, chief...

MULTIBYTE support is not compiled (you just can't set them to anything
but SQL_ASCII).  This should reduce interoperability problems between
MB-enabled clients and non-MB-enabled servers.

operator to '#' for consistency.  Parser still needs work.

definition later...)

as full as possible, seems better to use a tuple size around BLCKSZ/4
so that less space is wasted when a LO tuple is updated.  Also, this
lets us use a logical page size that's an exact power of two, avoiding
partial-page writes when client is sending us stuff in power-of-2
buffer chunks.

kibitzing from Tom Lane.  Large objects are now all stored in a single
system relation "pg_largeobject" --- no more xinv or xinx files, no more
relkind 'l'.  This should offer substantial performance improvement for
large numbers of LOs, since there won't be directory bloat anymore.
It'll also fix problems like running out of locktable space when you
access thousands of LOs in one transaction.
Also clean up cruft in read/write routines.  LOs with "holes" in them
(never-written byte ranges) now work just like Unix files with holes do:
a hole reads as zeroes but doesn't occupy storage space.
INITDB forced!

from bufmgr - it would be nice to have separate hash in smgr
for node <--> fd mappings, but for the moment it's easy to
add new hash to relcache.
Fixed small bug in xlog.c:ReadRecord.

CommandCounterIncrement to DROP loop, which could cause trouble otherwise
with multiple DROP of items affecting same catalog entries.  Try to
bring a little consistency to various error messages using 'does not exist',

what the vast majority of the existing uses seem to be.

Um, Bruce, I've said several times that I didn't think Perchine's large
object changes should be applied until someone had actually reviewed
them.

Makefile.port, since they are of no use to configure and much of the
library magic happens in Makefile.port anyway.

Use __alpha, not __alpha__, since the former is universally available.
Remove -DNOFIXADE from the compile command line and put it in the port
include file.

I tested it restoring my database with > 100000 BLOBS, and dumping it out.
But unfortunatly I can not restore it back due to problems in pg_dump.

source directory.  This involves mostly makefiles using $(srcdir) when they
might have used ".".  (Regression tests don't work with this, yet.)

Sort out usage of CPPFLAGS, CFLAGS (and CXXFLAGS).  Add "override" keyword
in most places, to preserve necessary flags even when the user overrode the
flags.

This patch forces the use of 'DROP VIEW' to destroy views.

It also changes the syntax of DROP VIEW to
DROP VIEW v1, v2, ...
to match the syntax of DROP TABLE.

Some error messages were changed so this patch also includes changes to the
appropriate expected/*.out files.

Doc changes for 'DROP TABLE" and 'DROP VIEW' are included.

LockRelId - ie physical information, not logical. It's required
for WAL. Regression tests passed.

relation OID is used as file node on creation but may be changed later
if required. Regression Tests Approved (c) -:)))

As a result, backend/libpq/pqcomm.c and interfaces/libpq/fe-connect.c
fail to compile.

The <netinet/tcp.h> header needs to be preceded by <netinet/in.h>, at
least on IRIX, Solaris and AIX.  The simple configure test fails.
(That header on Linux is idempotent.)

The basic problem is that <netinet/tcp.h> is a BSD header.  The
correct header for TCP internals such as TCP_NODELAY on a UNIX system
is <xti.h>.  By UNIX I mean UNIX95 (aka XPG4v2 or SUSv1) or later.
The current UNIX standard (UNIX98 aka SUSv2) is available online at
<http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/>.

The fix is to add header support for <xti.h> into configure.in and
config.h.in.

The 2 files which conditionally include <netinet/tcp.h> need also to
conditionally include <xti.h>.

encodings

(will be used in a future pg_dump).

anyway, the rest being due to them not being kept in sync.  Add configure
test for lorder and use it (on Solaris) when found.

This is equivalent to postmaster's -S option.

The current code uses semaphores, which has the advantage that it works
well even on multi-processor machines, but the disadvantage that it is not
the fastest way possible. Writing a spinlock on Alpha for SMP machines is
very difficult, as you need to deal with memory barriers. A real mess. But
then one of the people at Compaq pointed out to us that there is a
ready-made routine on Alpha. We implemented it with the two patches below.
I ran tests with lots of parallel back-ends and got around a 10% speed
increase. I include the two patches. Perhaps some of the other people
running Tru64 can have a look at these as well.

this is patch v 0.4 to support transactions with BLOBs.
All BLOBs are in one table. You need to make initdb.

after that dynamic loading isn't working and shared memory handling is
broken.

        Attached with this message, there is a Zip file which contain :

        * beos.diff = patch file generated with difforig
        * beos = folder with beos support files which need to be moved in /
src/backend/port
        * expected = foler with three file for message and precision
difference in regression test
        * regression.diff = rule problem (need to kill the backend manualy)
        * dynloader = dynloader files (they are also in the pacth files,
but there is so much modification that I have join full files)

        Everything works except a problem in 'rules' Is there some problems
with rules in the current tree ? It used to works with last week tree.
