Please forget all I said about gcc and AIX in my previous mail.
It does work with the following patch applied and gcc 2.95.2 .
Use --with-template=aix_gcc to compile the whole lot with gcc.
The geometry regression test produces different precision.
With optimization I run into regression failures starting at oidjoins,
thus no -O2. Anybody else try gcc 2.95.2 and -O2 on beta4 ?
This is an important patch, since recent versions of the IBM compiler
are not for free, and thus most questions I get concern gcc.

Actually, that still wasn't quite right. If we skip a query because of
xact abort state in pg_exec_query_dest, we should continue scanning the
querytree list, on the off chance that one of the later queries in the
string is COMMIT or ROLLBACK.

Fix bug noted by Bruce: FETCH in an already-aborted transaction block
would crash, due to premature invocation of SetQuerySnapshot(). Clean
up problems with handling of multiple queries by splitting
pg_parse_and_plan into two routines. The old code would not, for
example, do the right thing with END; SELECT... submitted in one query
string when it had been in transaction abort state, because it'd decide
to skip planning the SELECT before it had executed the END. New
arrangement is simpler and doesn't force caller to plan if only
parse+rewrite is needed.

Add a check to pg_dump to see whether backend is same version as pg_dump.
If not, abort by default. Abort can be prevented by using -i or
--ignore-version switch.

When rewriting an aggregate introduced into WHERE, allow agg argument to
be an expression not just a simple Var, so long as only one table is
referenced (so that code isn't really any more difficult than before).
This whole thing is still fundamentally bogus, but at least we can accept
a few more cases than before.

Fix extremely nasty little bug observed when a sub-SELECT appears in
WHERE in a place where it can be part of a nestloop inner indexqual.
As the code stood, it put the same physical sub-Plan node into both
indxqual and indxqualorig of the IndexScan plan node. That confused
later processing in the optimizer (which expected that tracing the
subPlan list would visit each subplan node exactly once), and would
probably have blown up in the executor if the planner hadn't choked first.
Fix by making the 'fixed' indexqual be a complete deep copy of the
original indexqual, rather than trying to share nodes below the topmost
operator node. This had further ramifications though, because we were
making the aforesaid list of sub-Plan nodes during SS_process_sublinks
which is run before construction of the 'fixed' indexqual, meaning that
the copy of the sub-Plan didn't show up in that list. Fix by rearranging
logic so that the sub-Plan list is built by the final set_plan_references
pass, not in SS_process_sublinks. This may sound like a mess, but it's
actually a good deal cleaner now than it was before, because we are no
longer dependent on the assumption that planning will never make a copy
of a sub-Plan node.
Augment the function call map logic with code from Tom Lane.
Should be more robust to overflows.
Pass through an unmapped function unchanged, rather than rejecting it.
Add a few more functions, but comment out those which can go through as-is.
Can be used with contrib/odbc/ package, though that isn't committed yet.

Fix low-probability bug in relcache startup: write_irels wrote the
pg_internal.init file in-place, which meant that if another backend
started at about the same time, it might read the incomplete file.
init_irels tries to guard against that, but I have now seen a crash
due to reading bad data from a partly-written file. (This may indicate
a kernel bug on my platform? Not sure.) Anyway, clearly the safest
course is to write the new pg_internal.init file under a unique temporary
filename, and rename it into place only after it's all written.

I have tested the beta3 on WinNT and here are the results:
- I was unable to compile ecpg due to the ":=" instead of "=" in defining
LIBPQDIR and some other variables in Makefile.global.in
- pg_id (and also pg_encoding) executable was not removed during "make
clean" - there was no $(X) appended to the executable name for rm
- I have added result for int2, int4, float8 and geometry regression tests
- int2, int2 - yet another message for too large numbers ;-)
- float8 - it is problably a bug in the newlib C library - it has no
error message for numbers with exponent -400
- geometry - differences in precision of float numbers
- I have added appropriate lines into resultmap file
- I have modified the script regress.sh to use "case" statement when testing
the hostname. For cygwin the script is called with "i686-pc-cygwin" (on my
machine) as a parameter and this was not catched with the "if" statement.
The check was done for PORTNAME (win) and not HOSTNAME (i.86-pc-cygwin*).
The patch for described modifications is included.
All this modifications can be applied to "current" tree too.
The compilation was done on CygwinB20.1 with gcc 2.95, cygipc library 1.05.
The binaries were able to run also on the newest development snapshot
(2000-03-25).

Get rid of SetBufferWriteMode(), which was an accident waiting to happen.
In the event of an elog() while the mode was set to immediate write,
there was no way for it to be set back to the normal delayed write.
The mechanism was a waste of space and cycles anyway, since the only user
was varsup.c, which could perfectly well call FlushBuffer directly.
Now it does just that, and the notion of a write mode is gone.
Accumulated fixups.
Add some chapters on new topics.
Change to referencing OASIS/Docbook v3.1 rather than Davenport/Docbook v3.0
Grepped for and fixed apparent tag mangling from emacs
"Normalize" operation. Should be the last of those.
Split off language-specific docs to their own chapters.
Add PL/perl docs from Mark Hollomon.
Put language-specific docs into the User's Guide, and move the rest
to the Programmer's Guide.
Enable more flexible syntax for the SET command. Now allows single floats,
single integers, and lists of names, without surrounding them with quotes.
Remove all tokens which are defined as operators from ColID and ColLabel
to avoid precedence confusion. Thanks to Tom Lane for catching this.

Tweak indexscan cost estimation: round estimated # of tuples visited up

silly plans...

Move CREATE FUNCTION/WITH clause to end of statement to get around

Add lots of tokens as allowed ColId's and/or ColLabel's,
