A few minutes ago I sent down the PL/Tcl directory to this
list. Look at it and reuse anything that might help to build
PL/perl. I really hope that PL/perl and PL/Tcl appear in the
6.3 distribution. I'll do whatever I can to make this happen.

Remove some definitions which could not work; conversions from datetime
to integer unix system time conflict on the input types.
Leave in the conversions from integer unix system time to datetime.
Define ROW and STATEMENT as parser tokens.
Use explicit tokens to decode CREATE TRIGGER clauses.
Allow ROW and STATEMENT as column identifiers.
Fix CAST syntax to require parens per SQL92 spec.
Define TypeId to allow correct translation of type names in CREATE FUNCTION
and other statements. Need to do this without looking up defined type
names because CREATE FUNCTION can specify undefined (new) types.
Define UserId to complete removal of "Id" generic entity.
Define xlateSqlFunc() to convert SQL92 CHARACTER_LENGTH() and CHAR_LENGTH()
functions to calls to length().
Define func_name parser entity for contexts requiring a function name.
Have xlateSqlType() translate "float" to "float8".
* Fixes minor bug found in DatabaseMetaData.getTables() where it doesn't
handle default table types.
* It now reports an error if the client opens a database using
properties, and either the user or password properties are missing. This
should make the recent problem with Servlets easier to find.
* Commented out obsolete property in Driver.getPropertyInfo()
Well this is not really a patch. But I mananged to get Linus' old Postgres95
precompiler to compile and work with PostgreSQL. The next step would be to
collect bug/missing feature reports and to put it into the distribution so
that it is made with the standard make procedure.
Warning! So far it is not tested much and it does not install correctly. But
I was able to create a small binary with it.
Symptom:
select from a table with attrs (a int, b char(20))
crashed in bpcharout() (palloc of -1 bytes). But a table
with attrs (a int, b varchar(20)) worked.
Allow most expressions in BETWEEN clause. Allow all expressions if
surrounded by parentheses (but not all are meaningful).
Remove unused keywords ACL, APPEND, MERGE.
Requires a "make clean" to recompile all code since keyword numeric
assignments have changed with keyword removal.
Define boolean functions and operators for lseg <, <=, <>, >=, >.
Define functions and operators for closest point to lseg on box,
to line on lseg, to lseg on lseg.
Define function and operator for length of lseg.
Change length operator from '??' to '@-@'
(currently defined for path and lseg).
Define boolean functions for lseg <, <=, <>, >=, >
Define close_ls(), close_lseg(), lseg_length().
Write real code for close_sb(), close_pb(), inter_sb(), inter_lb().
Repair lseg_perp() which determines if two lsegs are perpendicular.
Repair lseg_dt() distance between two lsegs.
Note: close_sl() is clearly broken but will repair later
(calculating point on lseg rather than point on line).
Clean up the alpha port, remove the backend/port/alpha subdirectory
structure, and move the init_address_fixup() code directly into
backend/main/main.c with appropriate #ifdefs around it...
[This is a repost - it supercedes the previous one. It fixes the patch so
it doesn't bread aix port, plus there's a file missing out of the
original post because difforig doesn't pick up new files. It's now
attached. peter]
This patch brings the JDBC driver up to the current protocol spec.
Basically, the backend now tells the driver what authentication scheme to
use.
The patch also fixes a performance problem with large objects. In the
buffer manager, each fastpath call was sending multiple Notifications to
the backend (sometimes more data in the form of notifications were being
sent than blob data!).
Make changes so that when the diff is done between 'expected' and 'results',
if an operating specific expected file exists, use that for the comparison.
This allows for "legit" differences between results, like the "Result too
large" message vs "Math result not representable" ...
Also, have the failed diffs get output to regression.diffs so that its easy to
view those tests that failed

I haven't had final confirmation from Peter yet, but the attached patch
needs to be applied for the Beta otherwise password and crypt
authentication just won't work.
It puts back the loop in libpq and also fixes a couple of problems with
maintaining compatability with pre-6.3 drivers.
