Attached is an update to contrib/tablefunc. It implements a new hashed
version of crosstab. This fixes a major deficiency in real-world use of
the original version. Easiest to undestand with an illustration:

Data:

Original crosstab:

SELECT * FROM crosstab(
   'SELECT rowid, attribute, val FROM cth ORDER BY 1,2',4)

  test2 | 53          | FAIL        | 01 March 2003  | 3.1234

Hashed crosstab:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
SELECT * FROM crosstab(
   'SELECT rowid, attribute, val FROM cth ORDER BY 1',
   'SELECT DISTINCT attribute FROM cth ORDER BY 1')

  test2 |          53 | FAIL        | 2003-03-01 00:00:00 | 3.1234
(2 rows)

Notice that the original crosstab slides data over to the left in the
result tuple when it encounters missing data. In order to work around
this you have to be make your source sql do all sorts of contortions
(cartesian join of distinct rowid with distinct attribute; left join
that back to the real source data). The new version avoids this by
building a hash table using a second distinct attribute query.

The new version also allows for "extra" columns (see the README) and
allows the result columns to be coerced into differing datatypes if they
are suitable (as shown above).

In testing a "real-world" data set (69 distinct rowid's, 27 distinct
categories/attributes, multiple missing data points) I saw about a

I'm continuing to work on cleaning up code in psql.  As things appear
now, my changes seem to work.  Some possible minor bugs got squished
on the way but I can't be sure without more feedback from people who
really put the code to the test.

The new patch mostly simplifies variable handling and reduces code
duplication.  Changes in the command parser eliminate some redundant
variables (boolean state + depth counter), replaces some
"else if" constructs with switches, and so on.  It is meant to be
applied together with my previous patch, although I hope they don't
conflict; I went back to the CVS version for this one.

One more thing I thought should perhaps be changed: an IGNOREEOF
value of n will ignore only n-1 EOFs.  I didn't want to touch this
for fear of breaking existing applications, but it does seem a tad
illogical.

Attached is a patch that limits the range tested by horology to
what is capable using integer-datatime timestamps. It does attempt
to exercise the maximum allowable timestamp range.
Also is a small error check when converting a timestamp from external
to internal format that prevents out of range timestamps from being
entered.

Files patched:
        Index: src/backend/utils/adt/timestamp.c
                Added range check to prevent out of range timestamps
                from being used.

In creating this patch, I have seen some definite problems with integer
timestamps and how they react when used near their limits. For example,
the following statement gives the correct result:

        SELECT timestamp without time zone 'Jan 1, 4713 BC'
               + interval '109203489 days' AS "Dec 31, 294276";

However, this statement which is the logical inverse of the above
gives incorrect results:

        SELECT timestamp without time zone '12/31/294276'
             - timestamp without time zone 'Jan 1, 4713 BC' AS "109203489 Days";

Here is a patch for the above, including a documentation update. It
creates a new GUC variable "preload_libraries", that accepts a list in
the form:

   preload_libraries = '$libdir/mylib1:initfunc,$libdir/mylib2'

If ":initfunc" is omitted or not found, no initialization function is
executed, but the library is still preloaded. If "$libdir/mylib" isn't
found, the postmaster refuses to start.

In my testing with PL/R, it reduces the first call to a PL/R function
(after connecting) from almost 2 seconds, down to about 8 ms.
