* Properly handle the case where strlcpy() exists in libc but isn'tTom Lane2006-10-02
| | | | | declared in the system headers. Per report from Bruce than some BSDen are like this.
* Improve documentation of configure's readline/libedit switches.Tom Lane2006-10-01
|
* Make some marginal performance improvements in reportErrorPosition(),Tom Lane2006-10-01
| | | | | | | | which turns out to be a dominant part of the runtime in scenarios involving lots of parse-time warnings (such as Stephen Frost's example of an INSERT with a lot of backslash-containing strings). There's not a whole lot we can do about the character-at-a-time scanning, but we can at least avoid traversing the query twice.
* Do a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS after emitting a message of less than ERRORTom Lane2006-10-01
| | | | | | | severity. This is to ensure the user can cancel a query that's spitting out lots of notice/warning messages, even if they're coming from a loop that doesn't otherwise contain a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS. Per gripe from Stephen Frost.
* date_trunc also accepts 'quarter'. Noted by Yoshihisa Nakano.Tom Lane2006-10-01

* Remove accented characters in comments, to avoid failures when thisTom Lane2006-10-01

| | | | | CaseTestExpr, but forgot that the optimizer is sometimes able to replace CaseTestExpr by Const.

* Allow assignment to array elements not contiguous with those alreadyTom Lane2006-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | present; intervening positions are filled with nulls. This behavior is required by SQL99 but was not implementable before 8.2 due to lack of support for nulls in arrays. I have only made it work for the one-dimensional case, which is all that SQL99 requires. It seems quite complex to get it right in higher dimensions, and since we never allowed extension at all in higher dimensions, I think that must count as a future feature addition not a bug fix.
* Remove duplicate (and now incorrect) documentation for row-wise IS [NOT]Tom Lane2006-09-29
| | | | NULL. Noted by Teodor.
* Fix IS NULL and IS NOT NULL tests on row-valued expressions to conform toTom Lane2006-09-28
| | | | | | | | | | | | the SQL spec, viz IS NULL is true if all the row's fields are null, IS NOT NULL is true if all the row's fields are not null. The former coding got this right for a limited number of cases with IS NULL (ie, those where it could disassemble a ROW constructor at parse time), but was entirely wrong for IS NOT NULL. Per report from Teodor. I desisted from changing the behavior for arrays, since on closer inspection it's not clear that there's any support for that in the SQL spec. This probably needs more consideration.
* Add URL for client_encoding being set by client:Bruce Momjian2006-09-28
| | | | > http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2006-08/msg01696.php
* Fix a couple other places that need to know about (some) src/port/ filesTom Lane2006-09-28
| | | | explicitly.
* Oops, forgot that libpq needs extra steps to make use of src/port/ files.Tom Lane2006-09-27
|
* Replace strncpy with strlcpy in selected places that seem possibly relevantTom Lane2006-09-27
| | | | | | | to performance. (A wholesale effort to get rid of strncpy should be undertaken sometime, but not during beta.) This commit also fixes dynahash.c to correctly truncate overlength string keys for hashtables, so that its callers don't have to anymore.
* Add strlcpy() to the set of functions supported by src/port/ when notTom Lane2006-09-27
| | | | | available directly on the platform. Per discussion, this function is sufficiently widely recognized to be treated as standard.
* Fix some misuses of strncat().Tom Lane2006-09-27
|
* Remove separate strdup.h header file; it's redundant with port.h.Tom Lane2006-09-27

* GiST stands for "Generalized Search Tree", and therefore should not beNeil Conway2006-09-27

* Add a check to prevent overwriting valid data if smgrnblocks() gives aTom Lane2006-09-25
| | | | | | wrong answer, as has been seen to occur with a buggy Linux kernel. Not really our bug, but it's a simple test in a seldom-used control path, so might as well have a defense.
* More incremental improvements for the release notes.Neil Conway2006-09-25

* no-data-for-failed-tables is a pg_restore option, not a pg_dump option.Tom Lane2006-09-25
|
* Fix notice message from DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS, and improve messageTom Lane2006-09-25
| | | | for DROP AGGREGATE IF EXISTS. Per report from Teodor.

| | | | make fopen work safely on Windows. Magnus
* Cause pg_regress to invoke the temporary postmaster as 'postgres' notTom Lane2006-09-24
| | | | | | 'postmaster', so as not to depend on the existence of the postmaster symlink. Also, implement postmaster-still-alive and postmaster-kill operations for Windows, per Magnus.

* Fix pg_locks view to call advisory locks advisory locks, while preservingTom Lane2006-09-22
| | | | | backward compatibility for anyone using the old userlock code that's now on pgfoundry --- locks from that code still show as 'userlock'.
* Fix bugs in plpgsql and ecpg caused by assuming that isspace() would onlyTom Lane2006-09-22
| | | | | | | | | return true for exactly the characters treated as whitespace by their flex scanners. Per report from Victor Snezhko and subsequent investigation. Also fix a passel of unsafe usages of <ctype.h> functions, that is, ye olde char-vs-unsigned-char issue. I won't miss <ctype.h> when we are finally able to stop using it.
