Here is an update on the Win32 patch. Modified files are 'config.h.win32'
and two 'win32.mak'. Addresses the following:
1) Oops. Spelled fcntl.h wrong in the last one. D'uh.
2) PG_VERSION changed to be defined with " around it. psql/command.c failed
to compile without that.
3) Changed makefiles to use "/MD" and link both psql and libpq.dll against
MSVCRT.DLL instead of a static library. This takes care of the
crash-upon-free in psql.

Repair bug reported by Huxton, 1/24/01. We need to include a rule's
original table ('OLD' table) in its join tree if OLD is referenced by
either the rule action, the rule qual, or the original query qual that
will be added to the rule action. However, we only want one instance

the rule action already has a jointree entry for OLD.

Further to the previous ODBC patches I posted today, I found a couple of
problems with char array sizes having set a couple of constants to 0 for
unlimited query length and row length. This additional patch cleans those
problems up by defining a new constant (STD_STATEMENT_LEN) to 65536 and
using that in place of MAX_STATEMENT_LEN.
Another constant (MAX_MESSAGE_LEN) was defined as 2*BLCKSZ, but is now
65536. This is used to define the length of the message buffer in a number
of places and as I understand it (probably not that well!) therefore also
places a limit on the query length. Fixing this properly is beyond my
capabilities but 65536 should hopefully be large enough for most people.
Apologies for being over-enthusiastic and posting 3 patches in one day
rather than 1 better tested one!

attached is take-2 of a patch which fixes a bug related
to the use of getpwuid when running in standalone mode.
this patch allocates some persistent storage (using
strdup) to store the username obtained with getpwuid
in src/backend/main/main.c. this is necessary because
later on, getpwuid is called again (in ValidateBinary).
the man pages for getpwuid on SCO OpenServer, FreeBSD,
and Darwin all have words to this effect (this is from
the SCO OpenServer man page):
Note
====
All information is contained in a static area, so it must
be copied if it is to be saved. Otherwise, it may be
overwritten on subsequent calls to these routines.
in particular, on my platform, the storage used to hold
the pw_name from the first call is overwritten such that
it looks like an empty username. this causes a problem
later on in SetSessionUserIdFromUserName.
i'd assume this isn't a problem on most platforms because
getpwuid is called with the same UID both times, and the
same thing ends up happening to that static storage each
time. however, that's not guaranteed, and is _not_ what
happens on my platform (at least :).

I would like to do a interface change in pgcrypto. (Good
timing, I know :)) At the moment the digest() function returns
hexadecimal coded hash, but I want it to return pure binary. I
have also included functions encode() and decode() which support
'base64' and 'hex' encodings, so if anyone needs digest() in hex
he can do encode(digest(...), 'hex').
Main reason for it is "to do one thing and do it well" :)
Another reason is if someone needs really lot of digesting, in
the end he wants to store the binary not the hexadecimal result.
It is really silly to convert it to hex then back to binary
again. As I said if someone needs hex he can get it.
Well, and the real reason that I am doing encrypt()/decrypt()
functions and _they_ return binary. For testing I like to see
it in hex occasionally, but it is really wrong to let them
return hex. Only now it caught my eye that hex-coding in
digest() is wrong. When doing digest() I thought about 'common
case' but hacking with psql is probably _not_ the common case :)

Here is a patch to make the current snapshot compile on Win32 (native, libpq
and psql) again. Changes are:
1) psql requires the includes of "io.h" and "fcntl.h" in command.c in order
to make a call to open() work (io.h for _open(), fcntl.h for the O_xxx)
2) PG_VERSION is no longer defined in version.h[.in], but in configure.in.
Since we don't do configure on native win32, we need to put it in
config.h.win32 :-(
3) Added define of SYSCONFDIR to config.h.win32 - libpq won't compile
without it. This functionality is *NOT* tested - it's just defined as "" for
now. May work, may not.
4) DEF_PGPORT renamed to DEF_PGPORT_STR
I have done the "basic tests" on it - it connects to a database, and I can
run queries. Haven't tested any of the fancier functions (yet).
However, I stepped on a much bigger problem when fixing psql to work. It no
longer works when linked against the .DLL version of libpq (which the
Makefile does for it). I have left it linked against this version anyway,
pending the comments I get on this mail :-)
The problem is that there are strings being allocated from libpq.dll using
PQExpBuffers (for example, initPQExpBuffer() on line 92 of input.c). These
are being allocated using the malloc function used by libpq.dll. This
function *may* be different from the malloc function used by psql.exe - only
the resulting pointer must be valid. And with the default linking methods,
it *WILL* be different. Later, psql.exe tries to free() this string, at
which point it crashes because the free() function can't find the allocated
block (it's on the allocated blocks list used by the runtime lib of
libpq.dll).
Shouldn't the right thing to do be to have psql call termPQExpBuffer() on
the data instead? As it is now, gets_fromFile() will just return the pointer
received from the PQExpBuffer.data (this may well be present at several
places - this is the one I was bitten by so far). Isn't that kind of
"accessing the internals of the PQExpBuffer structure" wrong? Instead,
perhaps it shuold make a copy of the string, adn then termPQExpBuffer() it?
In that case, the string will have been allocated from within the same
library as the free() is called.
I can get it to work just fine by doing this - changing from (around line
100 of input.c):
and the same a bit further down in the same function.
But, as I said above, this may be at more places in the code? Perhaps
someone more familiar to it could comment on that?
What do you think shuld be done about this? Personally, I go by the "If you
allocate a piece of memory using an interface, use the same interface to
free it", but the question is how to make it work :-)
Also, AFAIK this only affects psql.exe, so the changes made to the libpq
this patch are required no matter how the other issue is handled.

Fix all the places that called heap_update() and heap_delete() without
bothering to check the return value --- which meant that in case the
update or delete failed because of a concurrent update, you'd not find

the wrong outcome. There are now subroutines simple_heap_update and
simple_heap_delete that should be used anyplace that you're not prepared
to do the full nine yards of coping with concurrent updates. In
practice, that seems to mean absolutely everywhere but the executor,
because *noplace* else was checking.
