We're carrying around a copy of install-sh in case the local system
has no install script. It's wasted baggage, because configure doesn't
know it's there :-(. (Apparently everyone who's used postgres lately
already had an install script somewhere in their path. I happened to
try to run configure with a minimal PATH tonight, and it promptly
gave up for lack of an install program.) Here's the patch.

Note that as the modules are now installed in lib/modules I install all
my sql code in lib/sql. In my opinion also the other contributors should
follow these rules.

After some playing with gdb I found that in printtup() there is a non null
attribute with typeinfo->attrs[i]->atttypid = 0 (invalid oid). Unfortunately
attibutes with invalid type are neither printed nor marked as null, and this
explains why psql doesn't get all the expected data.

Ok. BTW Mr. Kataoka who is maintaing Japanese version of PostgreSQL
ODBC driver have found a bug in 6.3.2 pg_dump and have made patches.
I confirmed that the same bug still exists in the current source
tree. So I made up patches based on Kataoka's. Here are some
explanations.
o fmtId() returns pointer to a static memory in it. In the meantime
there is a line where is fmtId() called twice without saving the
first value returned by fmtId(). So second call to fmtId() will
break the first one.
o findTableByName() looks up a table by its name. if a table name
contanins upper letters or non ascii chars, fmtId() will returns
a name quoted in double quotes, which will not what findTableByName()
wants. The result is SEG fault. -- Tatsuo Ishii t-ishii@sra.co.jp

Hello!
Here is a new patch for libpq, to make it work on Win32 again (since
the latest modifications broke it a little).
Please also add the file "libpq.rc" to the interfaces/libpq directory.
This will allow version-stamping of the generated DLL file, so that
automatic install programs (and interested users) can determine
the version of the file. The file is currently set as "prerelease".
Before the release, somebody should change the line "FILEFLAGS
VS_FF_PRERELEASE" to "FILEFLAGS 0". That information should probably
go into toos\RELEASE_CHANGES.
The patch is against the cvs as of ~ 1998-08-26 14:30 CEST.

Hi all,
I don't know if this is really related to the initdb problem
discussion (haven't followed it enough). But seems so because
it fixes a damn problem during index tuple insertion on
CREATE TABLE into pg_attribute_relid_attnum_index.
Anyway - this bug was really hard to find. During startup the
relcache reads in some prepared information about index
strategies from a file and then reinitializes the function
pointers inside the scanKey data. But for sake it assumed
single attribute index tuples (hasn't that changed recently).
Thus not all the strategies scanKey entries where initialized
properly, resulting in invalid addresses for the btree
comparision functions.
With the patch at the end the regression tests passed
excellent except for the sanity_check that crashed at vacuum
and the misc test where the select unique1 from onek2 outputs
the two rows in different order.

Ok. Here is a patch to make psql work on Win32 (as a console mode
application, of course).
It requires getopt.c to be in src/utils - works fine with the FreeBSD
version of it.
Also, the file win32.mak should go into src/bin/psql.

Can someone please apply this portability patch to genbki.sh ?
(Mark or Bruce?) It fixes a problem when cpp gives a warning when
precompiling /dev/null like: "/dev/null", line 1: 1506-229 (W)
File is empty. This leads to a hangup when doing the description
load during initdb, since stderr also ends up in the global1.description
and local1_template1.description
Support SERIAL column type. Expand column marked is_sequence into three
statements:
- the table definition with a default clause referencing the sequence;
- a CREATE SEQUENCE statement;
- a UNIQUE constraint, which expands into a CREATE INDEX statement.
This is not a perfect solution, since the sequence will remain even if
the table is dropped. Also, there is no absolute protection on updating
the sequence column.
Move debugging printout of the query tree to print for all cases.
Formerly came just after early exit from loop for command nodes,
so missed some cases.
