patches backend/commands/command.c and the latter is a patch
to the alter table regression test.

basically want your guys feedback.  I have sprinkled some of my q's thru
the text delimited with the @@ symbol.  It seems to work perfectly.

[ Removed @@ comments because patch was reviewed. ]

At the moment it does CHECK constraints only, with inheritance.  However,
due to the problem mentioned before with the mismatching between inherited
constraints it may be wise to disable the inheritance feature for a while.
it is written in an extensible fashion to support future dropping of other
types of constraint, and is well documented.

Please send me your comments, check my use of locking, updating of
indices, use of ERROR and NOTICE, etc. and I will rework the patch based
on feedback until everyone
is happy with it...

    However, my application requires that each collection will also have a

    will be able to identify it. It's much harder to know, if you have two

from an empty text string.  This makes them consistent with the de facto
behavior of type char's I/O conversion functions, and avoids generating
text values with embedded nulls, which confuse many text operators.

which says that PERFORM will execute any SELECT query and discard the
result.  The former implementation would in fact raise an error if the
result contained more than one row or more than one column.

Also, change plpgsql's error-logging mechanism to emit the additional
messages about error location at NOTICE rather than DEBUG level.  This
allows them to be seen by the client without having to dig into the
postmaster log file (which may be nonexistent or inaccessible by the
client).

to test inheritance support in ADD/DROP constraint :) )

I also made it so that it shows the names of check constraints ie:

the same tuple slot that the raw tuple came from, because that slot has
the wrong tuple descriptor.  Store it into its own slot with the correct
descriptor, instead.  This repairs problems with SPI functions seeing
inappropriate tuple descriptors --- for example, plpgsql code failing to
cope with SELECT FOR UPDATE.

Rather surprising we hadn't seen bug reports about this ...

in c.h we should be using the visible structure.  We should only see
de-TOASTed values in this program.  The old method refused to compile
because the length macro was no longer an lvalue.

prefers the style of the attached patch to solve the above problem.
I feel that this solution is particularly appropriate in this case
because the following:

    PglargeType
    PgType
    PgQueryType

are already being handled in the way that I am proposing for PgSourceType.

value of DESTDIR like the rest (or at least most) of the PostgreSQL
makefiles.  I found this problem when trying to package a pre-built
Cygwin PostgreSQL distribution, but this problem is platform independent.

The problem manifests itself when one tries to install into a stagging
area (e.g., to build a tarball) instead of a real install.  In this case,
pg.py and _pgmodule$(SO) still end up being installed in the configured
prefix directory ignoring the value of DESTDIR.

Unfortunately, this patch does not handle the case where PostgreSQL
and Python are configured with different prefixes.  Since the Python
Makefile is automatically generated and does not use DESTDIR, I believe
that this issue will be difficult to correct.  If anyone has ideas on
how to fix this issue, then I'm quite willing to rework the patch to
take the suggestion into account.

under Cygwin.  The root cause of this problem is that (Sun) java is a
native Win32 app and hence does not understand Cygwin Posix style paths.
The solution is to use Cygwin's cygpath utility to convert the Posix style
JDBC installation directory path into a Win32 one before invoking ant.

I'm not sure if my patch is the best way to correct this issue but
my goal was to confine the Cygwin specific constructs to

it does not support 64bit integers. AFAIK that's the default data type for
OIDs, so I am not surprised that this does not work. Use gcc instead.
BTW., 7.1 does not compile as is with gcc either, I believed the
required patches made it into the 7.1.1 release but obviously I missed
the deadline.
Since the ports mailing list does not seem to be archived I have attached
a copy of the patch (for 7.1 and 7.1.1).

I've just performed a build of a Watcom compiled version and found a couple
of bugs in the watcom specific part of that patch. Please use the attached
version instead.
