To say nothing of actually committing the configure that goes with the

This patch fixes the 0-based/1-based result set indexing problem for
absolute. It also makes it more compliant with the interface
specification in Sun's documentation;
1. absolute(0) should throw an exception.
2. absolute(>num-records) should set the current row to after the last
record in addition to returning false.
3. absolute(<num-records) should set the current row to before the first
record in addition to returning false.
These operations in the existing code just return false and don't change
current_row.
These changes required a minor change to relative(int) since it calls
absolute(int)
The attached patch is against the cvs repository tree as of this morning.
Also, who is in charge of maintaining the jdbc driver? I'm working on
getArray for the jdbc2 driver, but it's going to require three more
classes to be added to the driver, and thus three more source files
in the repository. Is there someone I can contact directly to ask about
this?

The enclosed patch changes the behaviour of the "ordinal" ('TH') format for

Here is a patch for interfaces/jdbc/org/postgresql/jdbc2/ResultSet.java
It addresses three issues:
1. The problem with ResultSet's interface specifying 1-based indexing was
not quite fixed in 7.0.2. absolute would stop the user form moving to the
first record (record 0 internally).
2. Absolute did not set current_row
3. For field.mod=-1, GetObject would try to return numeric values with a
precision of around 65000. Now GetObject detects when field.mod==-1, and
passes that as the scale to getBigDecimal. getBigDecimal detects when a
-1 is passed and simply does not scale the value returned. You still get
the correct value back, it simply does not tweak the precision.
I'm working off of a source tree I just checked out from the
repository. The diff is based on what was in the repository about ten
minutes ago.

Gen_fmgrtab.sh is strange: it is a platform dependent way (because it uses
CPP) to create platform independent files. Unfortunately, that means that
every config.status (or configure) run invariably causes a relink of the
postmaster and also that we can't put these files in the distribution
(usefully). So we make it a little smarter: when the output files already
exist and it notices that it would recreate them in identical form, it
doesn't touch them. In order to avoid re-running the make rule all the time
we update a timestamp file instead.
Update release_prep accordingly. Also make Gen_fmgrtab.sh use the awk that
is detected at configure time, not necessarily named `awk' and have it check
for exit statuses a little better.
In other news... Remove USE_LOCALE from the templates, it was set to `no'
everywhere anyway. Also remove YACC and YFLAGS from the templates, configure
is smart enough to find bison or yacc itself. Use AC_PROG_YACC for that
instead of the hand-crafted code. Do not set YFLAGS to `-d'. The make rules
that need this flag should explicitly invoke it. YFLAGS should be a user
variable. Update the makefiles to that effect.
Moved configure script from src/ to the top level directory. Moved
configuration helper things into config/ dir. Adjusted some relative paths
in makefiles.

init_fcache was being careless about using SearchSysCacheTuple result

This accounts for rare failures like 'init_fcache: null probin for procedure 481'

typeTypeName() must return a pstrdup'd copy of the type name, not a
direct pointer into the syscache entry for the type. In some cases
the syscache entry might get flushed before we are done using the
returned type name. This bug accounts for difficult-to-repeat
failures seen when INSERTs into columns of certain data types are
run in parallel with VACUUMs of system tables. There may be related
problems elsewhere --- we need to take a harder look at uses of
syscache data.

Repair bug reported by ldm@apartia.com: Append nodes, which don't
actually use their targetlist, are given a targetlist that is just a
pointer to the first appended plan's targetlist. This is OK, but what
is not OK is that any sub-select expressions in said tlist were being
entered in the subPlan lists of both the Append and the first appended
plan. That led to two startup and two shutdown calls for the same
plan node at exec time, which led to crashes. Fix is to not generate
a list of subPlans for an Append node. Same problem and fix apply
to other node types that don't have a real, functioning targetlist:
Material, Sort, Unique, Hash.
