The attached patch corrects two problems with autoconfiguration of
psql in Postgres 6.3.2. Both of these problems were complained of
recently in pgsql-questions:
1. In the right circumstances, psql.c will fail to compile due to
trying
to include a nonexistent <history.h>. (Thread "Compile-time
error" around 17 Apr 98.) 2. In other circumstances, psql will
compile but does not provide
command history capability, even though the underlying readline
library supports it. (Various threads, most recently "query
repetition in psql" around 29 Apr.)

Cleanups for large objects, so file is trucated on open, fix for
solaris/spare shared libararies, new error message for postmaster
startup, and makefile cleanups.
Implement TIMEZONE_HOUR, TIMEZONE_MINUTE per SQL92 specs.
Check for and properly ignore FOREIGN KEY column constraints
(already had fixed same for table constraints).
Define USER as synonym for CURRENT_USER per SQL92 specs
(no longer allowed as bare column name, sorry).
Re-enable HAVING clause but no fixes elsewhere yet.
Other stuff from today's update of gram.y...

Compress/compact row-style subselect and operator definitions
(cut out ~140 lines of code with no change in functionality).
Save string type if specified for DEFAULT clause handling.
Enough for now...

What I've done:
1. Rewritten libpq to allow asynchronous clients.
2. Implemented client side of cancel protocol in library,
and patched psql.c to send a cancel request upon SIGINT. The
backend doesn't notice it yet :-(
3. Implemented 'Z' protocol message addition and renaming of
copy in/out start messages. These are implemented conditionally,
ie, the client protocol version is checked; so the code should
still work with 1.0 clients.
4. Revised protocol and libpq sgml documents (don't have an SGML
compiler, though, so there may be some markup glitches here).
What remains to be done:
1. Implement addition of atttypmod field to RowDescriptor messages.
The client-side code is there but ifdef'd out. I have no idea
what to change on the backend side. The field should be sent
only if protocol >= 2.0, of course.
2. Implement backend response to cancel requests received as OOB
messages. (This prolly need not be conditional on protocol
version; just do it if you get SIGURG.)
3. Update libpq.3. (I'm hoping this can be generated mechanically
from libpq.sgml... if not, will do it by hand.) Is there any
other doco to fix?
4. Update non-libpq interfaces as necessary. I patched libpgtcl
so that it would compile, but haven't tested it. Dunno what
needs to be done with the other interfaces.
- Put operator "->" back into parser. Note that :foo->bar means the
C term, but :foo ->bar means the operator "->".

- Added exec sql disconnect command.
- Allow varchar in C to be written in uppercase too.
- Added whenever option "do break;"
Wed Apr 29 09:17:53 CEST 1998
- Corrected parsing of C comments.
- Also allow C++ style comments.
- Make sure not found is only checked after commands that could
return it.
- Added error codes, see ecpgerror.h for details.
- Added "exec sql <TransactionStmt> release" as disconnect statement
for compatibility issues.

Hi, here are patches I promised (against 6.3.2):
* character_length(), position(), substring() are now aware of
multi-byte characters
* add octet_length()
* add --with-mb option to configure
* new regression tests for EUC_KR
(contributed by "Soonmyung. Hong" <hong@lunaris.hanmesoft.co.kr>)
* add some test cases to the EUC_JP regression test
* fix problem in regress/regress.sh in case of System V
* fix toupper(), tolower() to handle 8bit chars
note that:
o patches for both configure.in and configure are
included. maybe the one for configure is not necessary.
o pg_proc.h was modified to add octet_length(). I used OIDs
(1374-1379) for that. Please let me know if these numbers are not
appropriate.

HP-UX (all versions) requires shared libraries to have execute
permission, and really needs them to be exactly mode 555 for
performance reasons. The standard configure/install procedure
installs libpq.sl as mode 644, which DOES NOT WORK.
The attached patch modifies the makefiles to distinguish
INSTL_LIB_OPTS (install mode for ordinary libraries) from
INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS (mode for shared libs), and adds a test
to configure to set INSTL_SHLIB_OPTS="-m 555" when on HP-UX.

Ok, I have finally gotten all of the defines for Dec/Alpha and
Linux/Alpha sorted out as Marc asked. There is no longer any need for
'-Dalpha' or '-Dlinuxalpha' in either the Dec/Alpha or the Linux/Alpha
template files (./src/template/{alpha,linuxalpha}). I have replaced every
instance of 'alpha' or '__alpha__' with '__alpha', as that appears to be
the common symbol between C compilers on both operating systems (RH4.2 &
DecUnix 4.0b) for alpha.
