Fixes:
Async notifies received while a backend is in the middle of a begin/end
transaction block are lost by libpq when the final end command is issued.
The bug is in the routine PQexec of libpq. The routine throws away any
message from the backend when a message of type 'C' is received. This
type of message is sent when the result of a portal query command with
no tuples is returned. Unfortunately this is the case of the end command.
As all async notification are sent only when the transaction is finished,
if they are received in the middle of a transaction they are lost in the
libpq library. I added some tracing code to PQexec and this is the output:

Add use of INDEXSCAN_PATCH to config.h instead of putting it in Makefile.global
Marc G. Fournier [Tue, 10 Sep 1996 06:48:52 +0000 (06:48 +0000)]
Fixes:
The problem is that the function arguments are not considered as possible key
candidates for index scan and so only a sequential scan is possible inside
the body of a function. I have therefore made some patches to the optimizer
so that indices are now used also by functions. I have also moved the plan
debug message from pg_eval to pg_plan so that it is printed also for plans
genereated for function execution. I had also to add an index rescan to the
executor because it ignored the parameters set in the execution state, they
were flagged as runtime variables in ExecInitIndexScan but then never used
by the executor so that the scan were always done with any key=1. Very odd.
This means that an index rescan is now done twice for each function execution
which uses an index, the first time when the index scan is initialized and
the second when the actual function arguments are finally available for the
execution. I don't know what is the cost of an double index scan but I
suppose it is anyway less than the cost of a full sequential scan, at leat
for large tables. This is my patch, you must also add -DINDEXSCAN_PATCH in
Makefile.global to enable the changes.

The patch that is applied at the end of the email makes sure that these
conditions are always met. The patch can be applied to any version
of Postgres95 from 1.02 to 1.05. After applying the patch, queries
using indices on bpchar and varchar fields should (hopefully ;-) )
always return the same tuple set regardless to the fact whether
indices are used or not.

Fix prototype for dumpClasses

This patch for Versions 1 and 2 corrects the following bug:
In a catalog class that has a "name" type attribute, UPDATEing of an
instance of that class may destroy all of the attributes of that
instance that are stored as or after the "name" attribute.
This is caused by the alignment value of the "name" type being set to
"double" in Class pg_type, but "integer" in Class pg_attribute.
Postgres constructs a tuple using double alignment, but interprets it
using integer alignment.
The fix is to change the alignment to integer in pg_type.
Note that this corrects the problem for new Postgres systems. Existing
databases already contain the error and it can't easily be repaired because
this very bug prevents updating the class that contains it.

The patch does several things:
It adds a WITH OIDS option to the copy command, which allows
dumping and loading of oids.
If a copy command tried to load in an oid that is greater than
its current system max oid, the system max oid is incremented. No
checking is done to see if other backends are running and have cached
oids.
pg_dump as its first step when using the -o (oid) option, will
copy in a dummy row to set the system max oid value so as rows are
loaded in, they are certain to be lower than the system oid.
pg_dump now creates indexes at the end to speed loading

Here's the fix for the problem that Evan Champion reported today.
This presumably corrects a problem of initdb failing on systems that have
an awk that is sensitive to this.

Here's a patch for Versions 1 and 2 that fixes the following bug:
When you try to do any UPDATE of the catalog class pg_class, such as
to change ownership of a class, the backend crashes.
This is really two serial bugs: 1) there is a hardcoded copy of the
schema of pg_class in the postgres program, and it doesn't match the
actual class that initdb creates in the database; 2) Parts of postgres
determine whether to pass an attribute value by value or by reference
based on the attbyval attribute of the attribute in class
pg_attribute. Other parts of postgres have it hardcoded. For the
relacl[] attribute in class pg_class, attbyval does not match the
hardcoded expectation.
The fix is to correct the hardcoded schema for pg_attribute and to
change the fetchatt macro so it ignores attbyval for all variable
length attributes. The fix also adds a bunch of logic documentation and
extends genbki.sh so it allows source files to contain such documentation.
