below  is  the patch to have views to override the permission
    checks for the accessed tables. Now we can do the following:

    CREATE VIEW db_user AS SELECT
         usename,
         usesysid,
         usecreatedb,
         usetrace,
         usecatupd,
         '**********'::text as passwd,
         valuntil
        FROM pg_user;

    REVOKE ALL ON pg_user FROM public;
    REVOKE ALL ON db_user FROM public;
    GRANT SELECT ON db_user TO public;

Please remove src/interfaces/ecpg/prproc/y.tab.h from cvs. It is generated
by make anyway.

Subject: [PATCHES] one small fix for ecpg

Here's my next patch. this one should fix some more bugs. ecpg now fully
understands the whenever statement.

 in the usual man page source directory anyway. Source tree now builds.

any other, example program.

I have tracked this down to a call to PQfinish() in ECPGfinish()
that occurs before any connection is established.

Apart from this Makefile hack, all I've done is to make dynamically
loaded code modules fail properly (as was already done for __mips__,
although I think this is too loose: I believe NetBSD for the pmax can
do dynamic linking), and to add test-and-set lock handling.  As Bruce
suggested, this is done in a maximally efficient inlined way: I was
not aware that this code was so important, speed-wise.

Here's the ecpg patch for the local variables bug I reported earlier:

pull their data/info from Makefile.global

Makefile, as it isn't appropriate for GNUmake

Cleanups for ecpg, as well as a missing patch so that its configured in

Remove "temp" configure files

This patch fixes the following:

* Fixes minor bug found in DatabaseMetaData.getTables() where it doesn't
  handle default table types.
* It now reports an error if the client opens a database using
  properties, and either the user or password properties are missing. This
  should make the recent problem with Servlets easier to find.
* Commented out obsolete property in Driver.getPropertyInfo()

source here. It goes in the src/interfaces/jdbc/postgresql/util directory

Marc, can you make sure this is in the distribution, Thanks

I have implemented a better user interface (well part of) so you can use it
as expected. As usual there are some bug fixes. :-)

Well this is not really a patch. But I mananged to get Linus' old Postgres95
precompiler to compile and work with PostgreSQL. The next step would be to
collect bug/missing feature reports and to put it into the distribution so
that it is made with the standard make procedure.

Warning! So far it is not tested much and it does not install correctly. But
I was able to create a small binary with it.

[This is a repost - it supercedes the previous one. It fixes the patch so
it doesn't bread aix port, plus there's a file missing out of the
original post because difforig doesn't pick up new files. It's now
attached. peter]

This patch brings the JDBC driver up to the current protocol spec.
Basically, the backend now tells the driver what authentication scheme to
use.

The patch also fixes a performance problem with large objects. In the
buffer manager, each fastpath call was sending multiple Notifications to
the backend (sometimes more data in the form of notifications were being
sent than blob data!).

I haven't had final confirmation from Peter yet, but the attached patch
needs to be applied for the Beta otherwise password and crypt
authentication just won't work.

It puts back the loop in libpq and also fixes a couple of problems with
maintaining compatability with pre-6.3 drivers.

Attached is the patch to fix the warning messages from my code.  I also
fixed one which wasn't my code.  Apart from the usual warnings about the
bison/yacc generated code I only have one other warning message.  This
is in gramm.y around line 2234.  I wasn't sure of the fix.

I've also replaced all the calls to free() in gramm.y to calls to
pfree().  Without these I was getting backend crashes with GRANT.  This
might already have been fixed.

This has a problem when using any authentication other than trust or
ident.

Anything using libpq will hang, because the client will go into a loop
while connecting. The following patch simply comments out two lines (a do
and a while), removing the loop. Going through the new scheme, I can't see
why this do..while loop is in there.
