Subject: [HACKERS] better access control error messages
This patch replaces the 'no such class or insufficient privilege' with
distinct error messages that tell you whether the table really doesn't
exist or whether access was denied.

Subject: [HACKERS] abort failed transaction patch
This patch allows you to end a transaction that has failed on an error
using the 'ABORT' statement without generating another error message.
(By default you get an error unless you use 'END' to terminate the
transaction, which has already been aborted anyway.)

Make the error message output by AllocateFile() if failes to
open Nulldev a *bit* more user friendly...or, at least, admin
friendly...have it print strerror(errno) as well

Various cleanups to satisfy -Werror, but there are some errors that I'm
not certain how to fix, so left them there and enabled -Wno-error for
this directory for now

And, make sure that initdb.sh copies the pg_geqo.sample file to
${DATADIR}. The file is left as pg_geqo.sample, since, unlike
pg_hba.conf, it isn't a required file...but this way ppl know that
its there, and that its where it is required, if they choose to
use it

The following patch to src/backend/libpq/pqpacket.c provides additional
checking for bad packet length data. It was tested with the Linux telnet
client, with netcat using the numbers.txt and by dumping random numbers
into the port.

Patch from Massimo Dal Zotto <dz@cs.unitn.it>
The following patches add to the backend a new debugging flag -K which prints
a debug trace of all locking operations on user relations (those with oid
greater than 20000). The code is compiled only if LOCK_MGR_DEBUG is defined,
so the patch should be harmless if not explicitly enabled.
I'm using the code to trace deadlock conditions caused by application queries
using the command "$POSTMASTER -D $PGDATA -o '-d 1 -K 1'.
The patches are for version 6.0 dated 970126.

What looks like some *major* improvements to btree indexing...
Patches from: aoki@CS.Berkeley.EDU (Paul M. Aoki)
i gave jolly my btree bulkload code a long, long time ago but never
gave him a bunch of my bugfixes. here's a diff against the 6.0
baseline.
for some reason, this code has slowed down somewhat relative to the
insertion-build code on very small tables. don't know why -- it used
to be within about 10%. anyway, here are some (highly unscientific!)
timings on a dec 3000/300 for synthetic tables with 10k, 100k and
1000k tuples (basically, 1mb, 10mb and 100mb heaps). 'c' means
clustered (pre-sorted) inputs and 'u' means unclustered (randomly
ordered) inputs. the 10k table basically fits in the buffer pool, but
the 100k and 1000k tables don't. as you can see, insertion build is
fine if you've sorted your heaps on your index key or if your heap
fits in core, but is absolutely horrible on unordered data (yes,
that's 7.5 hours to index 100mb of data...) because of the zillions of
random i/os.
if it doesn't work for you for whatever reason, you can always turn it
back off by flipping the FastBuild flag in nbtree.c. i don't have
time to maintain it.
good luck!

Essentially, config.h now includes an 'os.h', which is created via
configure by linking a "port.h" file from the port directory to the
include directory.
Going to try to merge backend/port in similar ways
Add a check to configure for strdup
Remove all the '-ltermcap' checks from psql/Makefile
Have {psql,pg_dump}/Makefile modified if strdup doesn't exist on the system
|I took a look at this and I think pg_dump mishandles arrays of ints and floats
|by neglecting to quote them.
|
|I have made a minor change to pg_dump.c that will fix this.
|
|Dates are dumped and restored OK with pg_dump in V6
|
|We'll still need to fix the dump in both cases if the original dump is from V1.09.
Add Makefile.in so that configure can determine if inet_aton.o is required
Add CFLAGS= @CPPFLAGS@ to Makefile.global and configure so that build is
useful for finding extra header files
Split header files from libraries in build. Doesn't make much sense to
look for a header file in /usr/local/lib, nor to look for a library
in /usr/local/include :)
