they were confusing because the large object tables themselves are not
shown. (Besides, if you've got hundreds or thousands of large objects,
you really don't want to see 'em at all.)
Also, suppress all indexes from the \z ACL listing, since indexes have
no meaningful protection information.
been applied. The patches are in the .tar.gz attachment at the end:
varchar-array.patch this patch adds support for arrays of bpchar() and
varchar(), which where always missing from postgres.
These datatypes can be used to replace the _char4,
_char8, etc., which were dropped some time ago.
block-size.patch this patch fixes many errors in the parser and other
program which happen with very large query statements
(> 8K) when using a page size larger than 8192.
This patch is needed if you want to submit queries
larger than 8K. Postgres supports tuples up to 32K
but you can't insert them because you can't submit
queries larger than 8K. My patch fixes this problem.
The patch also replaces all the occurrences of `8192'
and `1<<13' in the sources with the proper constants
defined in include files. You should now never find
8192 hardwired in C code, just to make code clearer.

sourced with \i (tried to read data from the terminal, rather than from
the source file; this breaks pg_dump scripts read with \i). Also, \o file
followed by COPY TO STDOUT wrote to terminal not designated file.
All better now.
1. Fix problems of PAGER and \? command
2. Add -E option that shows actual queries sent by \dt and friends
3. Add version number in startup banners for psql
Ok. I made patches replacing all of "#if FALSE" or "#if 0" to "#ifdef
NOT_USED" for current. I have tested these patches in that the
postgres binaries are identical.
o allow to use Big5 (a Chinese encoding used in Taiwan) as a client
encoding. In this case the server side encoding should be EUC_TW
o add EUC_TW and Big5 test cases to the regression and the mb test
(contributed by Jonah Kuo)
o fix mistake in include/mb/pg_wchar.h. An encoding id for EUC_TW was
not correct (was 3 and now is 4)
o update documents (doc/README.mb and README.mb.jp)
o update psql helpfile (bin/psql/psqlHelp.h)

Included patches fix a portability problem of unsetenv() used in
6.4.2 multi-byte support. unsetenv() is only avaliable on FreeBSD and
Linux so I decided to replace with putenv().
support. Included patches will solve it and should be applied to
both trees. Also, it fix the problem with \c command of psql when
switching different encoding databases.
Regression tests passed.

SunOS has tas(), but not memmove or strerror, and its sprintf() doesn't
return int. Also, older versions of GNU Make don't like rules with
empty left-hand sides...
Here are two new patches for the Win32 support.
1) The patch based on the one from Hiroshi Inoue [Inoue@tpf.co.jp], to
load
Winsock.dll from libpq.dll.
2) A patch for psql.c to remove the call to WSAStartup(), since it is
not
required when it's done in libpq.dll.
I'm still looking for the possibility of having a crypt() function in
libpq.dll too, the same way getopt was included. Any chance of getting
this
before 6.4, or should we wait for the next one?

regression test on a FreeBSD box with both non-MULTIBYTE and
MULTIBYTE-enabled, and confirmed that the results are same.
However I do not tested on PCs(I don't have access to win). Please let
me know if the patches break anything on PCs.
Also please note that the patch for varchar.c is a fix for a nasty bug
of char(n) types that I introduced and I believe at least this should
be applied.

structs from libpq-fe.h, as we previously discussed.
There turned out to be sloppy coding practices in more places than
I had realized :-(, but all in all I think it was a well-worth-while
exercise.
I ended up adding several routines to libpq's API in order to respond
to application requirements that were exposed by this work. I owe the
docs crew updates for libpq.sgml to describe these changes. I'm way too
tired to work on the docs tonight, however.
This is the last major change I intend to submit for 6.4. I do want
to see if I can make libpgtcl work with Tcl 8.0 before we go final,
but hopefully that will be a minor bug fix.
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.

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.
