Subject: [PATCHES] sequences display in psql

Well, I am away at Progress training (not Postgres!!) and desided to do
this patch during a break. This will allow listing of sequences in
addition to listing of tables and indicies:
\d would should indicies, tables, and sequences
\ds would show sequences only.

Subject: [PATCHES] DG/UX 5.4R11 patches

1) config.guess -- it doesn't understand that the new default
                   "TARGET_BINARY_INTERFACE" (m88kdgux) is now an ELF
                   format, not BCS.

            rel->size = compute_rel_size(rel);

                    new_rel->size = compute_rel_size(new_rel);

Subject: [PATCHES] Patch for INSTAL file.

The following patch does the following:

  - In step 6, recommend doing a database backup if you are upgrading
    from any version of the release, rather than ones before a specific
    date.

  - Added step 22a on regular maintainence.

Subject: [PATCHES] destroydb.1 patch

This is a patch to destroydb man page so that it shows and explains "-i"
option.

Subject: [PATCHES] psql and large objects fix

Psql was broken by using "Inv[0-9]+" instead of "xin[xv][0-9]+" to not
show large object files.  Been this way for a long time too. Relic of
an older naming convention, perhaps?

Subject: [PATCHES] backend/storage/ipc/shmem.c

  - strname is only used if assert checking is on

Subject: [PATCHES] backend/lib/fstack.c

  - The FixedStackIsValid so obviously needs to be a macro
  - FixedStackContains only called if assert checking on

compute_joinrel_size already called by geqo_rel_paths.

Subject: [PATCHES] More psql and libpq patches

Well..these would be the last patches until the release (I hope)...
I ran the regression tests while watching psql under purify, and it did
not leak even one byte.

In this patch:

* Plugged a major leak when PSQL reads files for input (either through
  \i options or through -f option)
* Fixed the one remaining leak in PSQL in not clearing PGresult *results
  everywhere it is supposed to. (Thanks Tymm)
* Fixed A small leak in PSQL not clearing all the PGsettings correctly.
* A not-so-obvious (but small) leak in Libpq when PQsetdb fails for any
  reason.
* Added \n to some Libpq error messages to make them easier to digest..
* Finally, added /* PURIFY */ comment to some of the code indicating
  the reason for why it was added/changed...for future developers.

Subject: [PATCHES] Patches to allow generic NetBSD support

Subject: [PATCHES] Added support for NetBSD/pc532.

The GNUmakefile in src/test/regress uses `gmake' for
the make program. This should be $(MAKE)

Install file says: Type flex -- version
There is a space between -- and version that shouldn't
be there :-(

Subject: [HACKERS] src.original/./backend/lib/fstack.c

Another change I suggested.  I bracket an unused function and add a
return to quiet the compiler.  In addition I added an internal
consistency check.

Subject: [HACKERS] backend/optimizer/geqo/geqo_erx.c

I sent these changes in with a bunch of others.  Some were folded in but
others, like these, were not.  I am not sure why so I am resending this
to the developers list by itself for discussion.

The readon why I suggest these changes is that the compiler can't tell
that minimum_count is initialized before it is used.  The tests that I
add in here will cause an immediate error if it doesn't.  As the comments
below suggest, if it is 100% guaranteed that the variable will always
be initialized then how this is so should be commented here.  I don't
know how much strain the actual test puts on the performance but if it
isn't too much then maybe leave it in for absolute safety anyway.

There are also a few returns just to stop warnings.

for join-relations. Sizes already computed by
prune_rel_paths():compute_joinrel_size().

joinrels.c:
<                   if ( _use_right_sided_plans_ )
---
>                   if ( _use_right_sided_plans_ &&
>                               length (outer_rel->relids) > 1 )

 - r_plans are useful when outer_rel is join-relation... It
decreases the size of search space...

the relation from the relcache.

 *         RelationFlushRelation + if the relation is local then get rid of
 *         the relation descriptor from the newly created relation list.
