Here is a tar file the new directories, which substitute the old ones
in contrib. Please remove the old directories array, datetime, miscutil,
string and userlock before unpacking the tar file in contrib.

Note that as the modules are now installed in lib/modules I install all
my sql code in lib/sql. In my opinion also the other contributors should
follow these rules.

After some playing with gdb I found that in printtup() there is a non null
attribute with typeinfo->attrs[i]->atttypid = 0 (invalid oid). Unfortunately
attibutes with invalid type are neither printed nor marked as null, and this
explains why psql doesn't get all the expected data.

So I made this patch to printtup():

ODBC driver have found a bug in 6.3.2 pg_dump and have made patches.
I confirmed that the same bug still exists in the current source
tree. So I made up patches based on Kataoka's. Here are some
explanations.

o fmtId() returns pointer to a static memory in it. In the meantime
there is a line where is fmtId() called twice without saving the
first value returned by fmtId(). So second call to fmtId() will
break the first one.

o findTableByName() looks up a table by its name. if a table name
contanins upper letters or non ascii chars, fmtId() will returns
a name quoted in double quotes, which will not what findTableByName()
wants. The result is SEG fault.  -- Tatsuo Ishii t-ishii@sra.co.jp

This patch resolves some regression test failures caused by platform
dependencies.

was tested with Linux/GCC.  I still have some issues with with the
snprintf() function.

Here is a new patch for libpq, to make it work on Win32 again (since
the latest modifications broke it a little).

Please also add the file "libpq.rc" to the interfaces/libpq directory.
This will allow version-stamping of the generated DLL file, so that
automatic install programs (and interested users) can determine
the version of the file.  The file is currently set as "prerelease".
Before the release, somebody should change the line "FILEFLAGS
VS_FF_PRERELEASE" to "FILEFLAGS 0".  That information should probably
go into toos\RELEASE_CHANGES.

The patch is against the cvs as of ~ 1998-08-26 14:30 CEST.

This one is against the current archive (so it contains the one I send the
other day). It should fix the AIX problems. Andreas, could you please try
it? Thanks.

I have this small patch which fixes a typo in my previous lock patches.
Fortunately the bug affects only user locks.

    I  don't know if this is really related to the initdb problem
    discussion (haven't followed it enough). But seems so because
    it  fixes  a  damn  problem  during  index tuple insertion on
    CREATE TABLE into pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index.

    Anyway - this bug was really hard to find. During startup the
    relcache  reads  in  some  prepared  information  about index
    strategies from a file and then  reinitializes  the  function
    pointers  inside  the  scanKey data.  But for sake it assumed
    single attribute index tuples (hasn't that changed recently).
    Thus not all the strategies scanKey entries where initialized
    properly,  resulting  in  invalid  addresses  for  the  btree
    comparision functions.

    With  the  patch  at  the  end  the  regression  tests passed
    excellent except for the sanity_check that crashed at  vacuum
    and the misc test where the select unique1 from onek2 outputs
    the two rows in different order.

Ok. Here is a patch to make psql work on Win32 (as a console mode
application, of course).
It requires getopt.c to be in src/utils - works fine with the FreeBSD
version of it.

Also, the file win32.mak should go into src/bin/psql.

 and index name fields are pstrdup'd (copied) rather than reused.

cvs add'd two files for the tprintf() patch...
