you :)

Highlights:
* There's one perl interpreter used for both trusted and untrusted
procedures. I do think its unnecessary to keep two perl
interpreters around. If someone can break out from trusted "Safe" perl
mode, well, they can do what they want already. If someone disagrees, I
can change this.

* Opcode is not statically loaded anymore. Instead, we load Dynaloader,
which then can grab Opcode (and anything else you can 'use') on its own.

* Checked to work on FreeBSD 4.3 + perl 5.5.3 , OpenBSD 2.8 + perl5.6.1,
RedHat 6.2 + perl 5.5.3

* Uses ExtUtils::Embed to find what options are necessary to link with
perl shared libraries

* createlang is also updated, it can create untrusted perl using 'plperlu'

* Example script (assuming you have Mail::Sendmail installed):
create function foo() returns text as '

         %mail = ( To      => q(you@yourname.com),

I installed postgres 7.1 with --enable-odbc.  I then installed
tclodbc (http://sourceforge.net/projects/tclodbc) and libiodbc-2.50.3
(http://www.iodbc.org/dist/libiodbc-2.50.3.tar.gz).  I could not
get either to work... postgres would not find the global odbcinst.ini
file.  I traced this to src/interfaces/odbc/gpps.c -- here are the
many things I think are wrong:

Run tclodbc and do a ``database db <DSNname>'' where ``DSNname'' is
one of the DSN's in /usr/local/etc/odbcinst.ini (or wherever the
global ini file is installed.)  The result is always the error
message that ``one of server,port,database,etc. are missing''.

Run libiodbc-2.50.3/samples/odbctest <DSNname>.  The command fails
to connect to the database and just exits.

Tom Lane [Tue, 12 Jun 2001 05:55:50 +0000 (05:55 +0000)]
Clean up various to-do items associated with system indexes:
pg_database now has unique indexes on oid and on datname.
pg_shadow now has unique indexes on usename and on usesysid.
pg_am now has unique index on oid.
pg_opclass now has unique index on oid.
pg_amproc now has unique index on amid+amopclaid+amprocnum.
Remove pg_rewrite's unnecessary index on oid, delete unused RULEOID syscache.
Remove index on pg_listener and associated syscache for performance reasons
(caching rows that are certain to change before you need 'em again is
rather pointless).
Change pg_attrdef's nonunique index on adrelid into a unique index on
adrelid+adnum.

Fix various incorrect settings of pg_class.relisshared, make that the
primary reference point for whether a relation is shared or not.
IsSharedSystemRelationName() is now only consulted to initialize relisshared
during initial creation of tables and indexes.  In theory we might now
support shared user relations, though it's not clear how one would get
entries for them into pg_class &etc of multiple databases.

Fix recently reported bug that pg_attribute rows created for an index all have
the same OID.  (Proof that non-unique OID doesn't matter unless it's
actually used to do lookups ;-))

There's no need to treat pg_trigger, pg_attrdef, pg_relcheck as bootstrap
relations.  Convert them into plain system catalogs without hardwired
entries in pg_class and friends.

Unify global.bki and template1.bki into a single init script postgres.bki,
since the alleged distinction between them was misleading and pointless.
Not to mention that it didn't work for setting up indexes on shared
system relations.

Rationalize locking of pg_shadow, pg_group, pg_attrdef (no need to use
AccessExclusiveLock where ExclusiveLock or even RowExclusiveLock will do).
Also, hold locks until transaction commit where necessary.

The attached patch enables PostgreSQL CVS to build cleanly under Cygwin

    #if 0
    /* Backwards compatibility (compat.c).  These will go away sometime. */
    ...
    extern READLINE_EXPORT(char, *filename_completion_function) ...

completion_matches():

    http://www.ca.postgresql.org/~petere/readline42.html
I tested this patch under the following environments:

    Cygwin with readline 4.1
    Cygwin with readline 4.2
    Linux with readline 2.2.1
    Linux with readline 4.2
