Subject: [PATCHES] New INSTALL file.

I have created a much more comprehensive version of the
/usr/src/pgsql/INSTALL file.  It should replace the current 970428 version
of this file.

Subject: [PATCHES] libpq SET var TO patch

  One last, I hope. This one corrects a bogus format string, and
actually sends the contents of PG_DATESTYLE to the backend. That
means, you can do a setenv PG_DATESTYLE 'iso', and your libpq
will pick that up and tell the backend.

Subject: [PATCHES] port patch: ultrix4

ultrix4 doesn't compile without this.  this also fixes a problem
with dynamic loading (ultrix relocatable objects must be loaded
with -G 0).

Subject: [PATCHES] Three small patches.

Hi,

Here are 3 small patches to the postgreSQL source sup'd on
the 6th May 1997.

The 1st 2 fix the shell backslash "c" handling used to suppress
the newline on some unix shells. (The \c needs to be inside quote.)

The 3rd may or may not be the correct way to fix the missing
define of INDEX_MAX_KEYS in pg_dump.h

Subject: [PATCHES] oracle_compat functions core dumping on NULL-fields

return if storage is not allocated. Ref: Vadim 97/05/01

No real change in the support code is required since the actual size
 of the structures is calculated using offsetof() rather than sizeof().

Subject: [HACKERS] Inputting money

I notice that I have to put single quotes around money amounts if there
is a decimal point in the value.  I appears to be happening because there
is something changing things like "123.45" to "123.450000" and the code
has a problem with that.  There may be a better way to fix this but here
is a simple change to cash.c that lets it accept trailing zeroes.

Add a little info on count().

Add mixed-case #define synonyms to avoid changing more source code.
Add comparison operators for boolean.
Add aggregate min() and max() for datetime and timespan.
