This is a patch for cygipc library provided by Yutaka Tanida.
This is necessary to prevent freezing in cygwin port.

* Buffer refcount cleanup (per my "progress report" to pghackers, 9/22).
* Add links to backend PROC structs to sinval's array of per-backend info,
and use these links for routines that need to check the state of all
backends (rather than the slow, complicated search of the ShmemIndex
hashtable that was used before).  Add databaseOID to PROC structs.
* Use this to implement an interlock that prevents DESTROY DATABASE of
a database containing running backends.  (It's a little tricky to prevent
a concurrently-starting backend from getting in there, since the new
backend is not able to lock anything at the time it tries to look up
its database in pg_database.  My solution is to recheck that the DB is
OK at the end of InitPostgres.  It may not be a 100% solution, but it's
a lot better than no interlock at all...)
* In ALTER TABLE RENAME, flush buffers for the relation before doing the
rename of the physical files, to ensure we don't get failures later from
mdblindwrt().
* Update TRUNCATE patch so that it actually compiles against current
sources :-(.
You should do "make clean all" after pulling these changes.

now that sequence names are properly quoted for field defaults, mixed
case sequence names are generated. These are properly quoted in the
CREATE SEQUENCE lines, but not in the SELECT nextval lines, as per
below:

CREATE SEQUENCE "Teams_TeamID_seq" start 10 increment 1 maxvalue
2147483647 minvalue 1  cache 1 ;
SELECT nextval ('Teams_TeamID_seq');

This needs to be:
SELECT nextval ('"Teams_TeamID_seq"');

Patch included below.

last batch, I think...

fixing it more..

bring it all into -current again

try and fix things...

bring in missing files ... this isn't very clean, but :(

INSERT ... DEFAULT VALUES statement does indeed have a null targetlist,
at least during parse and rewrite stages.

treat a NULL condition result as FALSE.  Clean up some bogus comments
here and there, too.

error message wording, due to most cases of no-such-relation now being
detected in central heap_open code rather than on an ad-hoc basis.

additional argument specifying the kind of lock to acquire/release (or
'NoLock' to do no lock processing).  Ensure that all relations are locked
with some appropriate lock level before being examined --- this ensures
that relevant shared-inval messages have been processed and should prevent
problems caused by concurrent VACUUM.  Fix several bugs having to do with
mismatched increment/decrement of relation ref count and mismatched
heap_open/close (which amounts to the same thing).  A bogus ref count on
a relation doesn't matter much *unless* a SI Inval message happens to
arrive at the wrong time, which is probably why we got away with this
sloppiness for so long.  Repair missing grab of AccessExclusiveLock in
DROP TABLE, ALTER/RENAME TABLE, etc, as noted by Hiroshi.
Recommend 'make clean all' after pulling this update; I modified the
Relation struct layout slightly.
Will post further discussion to pghackers list shortly.

See attached mail for more details.

You're right!
As usual -:)

Vadim

into it.

to version 2, and fixes ResultSetMetaData.getColumnDisplaySize().

commit to CVS.

 which do not need to be so for our parser. Apparently omitted earlier.

 Almost worked before, but forgot one place to check.
 Reported by Tatsuo Ishii.
Still does not do the right thing if inserting into a non-string target
 column. Should look for a type coersion later, but doesn't.

message under a kernel that only returns one packet per recv() call.  This
didn't use to matter much, but it starts to get annoying with multi-megabyte
EXPLAIN VERBOSE responses...

conditions.  There are some pretty bogus heuristics in prepqual.c that
try to decide whether to output CNF or DNF format; they need to be replaced,
likely.  Right now the code is probably too willing to choose DNF form,
which might hurt performance in some cases that used to work OK.
But at least we have a foundation to build on.

Make sure both SRCH_INC and SRCH_LIB are checked for existances and added to
the CPPFLAGS/LDFLAGS variables...

cygwin doesn't have an endian.h, but defines BYTE_ORDER in sys/param.h

in or_normalize, remove detection of duplicate subexpressions (since it's
highly unlikely to be worth the amount of time it takes), and introduce
a dnfify() entry point so that unintelligible backwards logic in UNION
processing can be eliminated.  This is just an intermediate step ---
next thing is to look at not forcing the qual into CNF form when it would
be better off in DNF form.

and pg_server_to_client.  Eliminate copy.c's restriction on the length
of a single attribute.

This change seems necessary in conjunction with long queries, and it
cleans up some bogosity in connection with long EXPLAIN texts anyway.
Note that current libpq will accept any length error message (at least
until it runs out of memory); prior versions have a limit of 8K, but
will cleanly discard excess error text, so there shouldn't be any
big compatibility problems with old clients.
