Will review recent changes for float4/8 and implications for win32 when
I get a chance.

types. Update the regression tests and the documentation to reflect
this. Remove the UNSAFE_FLOATS #ifdef.

This is only half the story: we still unconditionally reject
floating point operations that result in +/- infinity. See
recent thread on -hackers for more information.

any amount of leading or trailing whitespace (where "whitespace"
is defined by isspace()). This is for SQL conformance, as well
as consistency with other numeric types (e.g. oid, numeric).

Also refactor pg_atoi() to avoid looking at errno where not
necessary, and add a bunch of regression tests for the input
to these types.

Add README.CVS to help CVS folks find this information.

the way, fix a typo and make a few SGML cleanups.

where appropriate. Add "id" and "xreflabel" tags to the descriptions
of the GUC variables to facilitate this. Also make a few minor docs
cleanups.

initialization of stats process under EXEC_BACKEND.

[A cleaner, rationalized approach to stat/backend/SSDataBase child
processes under EXEC_BACKEND is on my TODO list. However this patch
takes care of immediate concerns (ie. stats test now passes under
win32)]

bin directories to be packaged under the same root directory (eg. <some
path>/pgsql/bin and <some path>/pgsql/lib) for the win32 port, which
does not appear to be an onerous restriction.

Currently, src/interfaces/libpq/win32.mak builds a statically-linked
library "libpq.lib", a debug dll "libpq.dll", import library for the
debug dll "libpqdll.lib", a release dll "libpq.dll", import library for
the release dll "libpqdll.lib".  To avoid naming clashes, I would make
the debug dll and import libraries "libpqd.dll" and "libpqddll.lib".

Basically, the debug build uses the cl flags: "/MDd /D _DEBUG", and the
release build uses the cl flags "/MD /D NDEBUG".  Usually the debug
build has a "D" suffix on the file name, so for example:

libpqd.dll     libpq, debug build
libpqd.lib     libpq, debug build, import library
libpq.dll      libpq, release build
libpq.lib      libpq, release build, import library

script for Mac OS X. I added calls to utilize the bundled apache
rotatelogs script in the DB startup for log rotation. Also modified
startup parameters file to allow using the "SystemStarter" utility to
start/stop/restart postgres with a rotating log file.

The script credits David Wheeler, 2002. I wrote him a message about
the changes an he suggested I post them here. I explain some of the
changes below.

Not sure how to submit the changes. I have 3 files, "PostgreSQL"
script, "StartupParameters.plist" file, "pg_startupscript.diff" file.
The diff file was run against the original "PostgreSQL" script file.
I'll try attaching them to this message. If they get filtered I can
resend if needed.

Thanks.

------------------------------------

1) Changed the "Provides" parameter in StartupParameters.plist to
"PostgreSQL" from "postgres database" simply for ease of typing. It
seems that the SystemStarter utility uses the "Provides" value if you
want to control the script. This way I did not have to enclose it in
quotes on commandline. The modified StartupParameters.plist is now an
XML document also.


2) For the startup script I added 2 user modifiable variables:

# do you want to rotate the log files, 1=true 0=false
ROTATELOGS=1

# logfile rotate in seconds
ROTATESEC="604800"

I also added a non modifiable variable:

# The apache log rotation utility
LOGUTIL="/usr/sbin/rotatelogs"

I modified the StartService and RestartService functions to execute
the new commands if the user wants log rotation.

strict, per discussion with Dennis Haney.
Also, rearrange the preceding tests to avoid redundancy.

I have changed the name of the new parse function to xml_valid and fixed
a reference to SortMem which meant that the code as supplied would work
against 7.3 and 7.4 but wouldn't work in CVS.
