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.
Change mixed-case routines to lower-case for case-insensitive SQL.
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.

Alot of regression test fixes, mainly to compensate for moving
the DROP TABLE calls from the destroy.sql file to the 'types' .sql files,

More timezone patches by Thomas:
Here are patches which should help fix timezone problems in the
datetime and abstime code. Also, I repatched varlena.c to add in
some comments and a little error checking on top of Vadim's earlier
repairs. There are slight mods to the circle data type to have the
distance operator between circles measure the distance between
closest points rather than between centers.

Subject: [PATCHES] Patches for compiling 6.1 on Digital Unix 3.2c
Attached to this message are the patches I needed to compile 6.1 cleanly
under Digital Unix 3.2c with DEC cc.
I hope these are the last ones. At least, the number of files needing a
patch has decreased noticeably since I sent my previous patches. Nice work
:-)
One of the patches is a bug fix, but I'm including it here anyway.
With these patches applied, the beast seems to work properly. However,
I've done only some preliminary tests. More on this later (but hopefully
before the April 30 deadline... :-)
Bug (yet unfixed but not fatal) found: Re-moving index clauses from the
nestloop's join clauses doesn't work in some cases:
* 1. fix_indxqual_references may change varattno-s in
* inner_indxqual;
* 2. clauses may be commuted

Subject: [PORTS] Configure for DEC-Alpha
Configure script properly detects alpha-dec-osf4.0 machine, but
sets a default GENERIC template for it. I modified tempplate/.similar to
add alpha-dec-osf4.0=alpha. Then configure properly set the template to
alpha.
Here are some hacks to get timezone behavior for the various time
data types to be compatible with v6.0. Although we have some hooks
already installed to get timezone info from the client to the
server, it still isn't clear if that can correctly transfer enough
timezone info to make the behavior the same as if timezone info
were derived from the server as is now the case. We certainly
won't resolve it in a day, so I think we are stuck with server-only
timezones for v6.1.

Major patch from Thomas Lockhart <Thomas.G.Lockhart@jpl.nasa.gov>
OK, here are a passel of patches for the geometric data types.
These add a "circle" data type, new operators and functions
for the existing data types, and change the default formats
for some of the existing types to make them consistant with
each other. Current formatting conventions (e.g. compatible
with v6.0 to allow dump/reload) are supported, but the new
conventions should be an improvement and we can eventually
drop the old conventions entirely.
For example, there are two kinds of paths (connected line segments),
open and closed, and the old format was
'(1,2,1,2,3,4)' for a closed path with two points (1,2) and (3,4)
'(0,2,1,2,3,4)' for an open path with two points (1,2) and (3,4)
Pretty arcane, huh? The new format for paths is
'((1,2),(3,4))' for a closed path with two points (1,2) and (3,4)
'[(1,2),(3,4)]' for an open path with two points (1,2) and (3,4)
For polygons, the old convention is
'(0,4,2,0,4,3)' for a triangle with points at (0,0),(4,4), and (2,3)
and the new convention is
'((0,0),(4,4),(2,3))' for a triangle with points at (0,0),(4,4), and (2,3)
Other data types which are also represented as lists of points
(e.g. boxes, line segments, and polygons) have similar representations
(they surround each point with parens).
For v6.1, any format which can be interpreted as the old style format
is decoded as such; we can remove that backwards compatibility but ugly
convention for v7.0. This will allow dump/reloads from v6.0.
These include some updates to the regression test files to change the test
for creating a data type from "circle" to "widget" to keep the test from
trashing the new builtin circle type.

I heard very little in objections/approvals to defaulting some of the
parameters to configure. Enclosed is a patch to configure.in which
removes the questions for
PGPORT
USE_LOCALE
NOHBA
By default (i.e. assuming you don't put anything extra in the configure
command line), it assumes PGPORT=5432, USE_LOCAL=no and NOHBA=no (i.e.
HBA is turned on)
--with-pgport=PGPORT_NO Over-rides the PGPORT value
--enable-locale enables USE_LOCALE
--disable-hba disables HBA
Just for completeness:
--prefix=BASEDIR Defaults to /usr/local/pgsql
--with-template=TEMPLATE Defaults to asking you

Two patches here, made against 970417. Both have to do with large
objects:
1. lobjfuncs was not initialized in PQconnectdb. This causes
failure later if large objects are used. (Someone already
caught this error in PQsetdb.)
2. Postgres functions lo_import and lo_export sometimes
produce garbage for the file names because the filename
strings aren't always terminated by \0. (VARDATA isn't
necessarily null terminated.)

Subject: [PATCHES] 970417: two more patches for large objects
Here are two more patches:
1. pg_getint doesn't properly set the status flag when
calling pqGetShort or pqGetLong. This is required when
accessing large objects via libpq. This, combined with
problem 1 above causes postgres to crash when postgres
tries to print out the message that the status was not
good.
2. ExceptionalCondition crashes when called with detail =
NULL. This patch prevents dereferencing the NULL.
The patch fixes a rare bug that may occur when one tries to vacuum a single
table. The table name is de-allocated by the CommitTransactionCommand()
in vc_init() before it is copied in VacRel.data and sometimes this causes
a SIGSEGV. My patch simply moves the strcpy before vc_init.
1. BTREE_VERSION_1: using bti_itup->t_tid as unique identifier for a given
index tuple (logical position within A LEVEL). bti_oid & bti_dummy
taken off from BTItemData.
2. Fix for multi-column indices (nbtsearch.c):
_bt_binsrch() - for searches on internal pages having keysize <
number of attrs we point at the last item < the scankey, not at the
first item = the scankey;
_bt_moveright() - if keysize < number of attrs we compare scankey with
_last_ item on current page to decide should we move right or
not.
