-
-1.1)    What extra items do I need to install PostgreSQL under Irix?
-
-        You *must* have the following installed:
-        a) Gnu make (installed as gmake)
-
-        You are recommended to install the following:
-        a) GNU install (installed as ginstall)
-           (This is part of the GNU fileutils package)
-
-        You may choose to install the following:
-        a) GNU readline library (if you wish psql to have readline
-           support).
-        b) tcl/tk (if you wish to compile pgtclsh)
-
-1.2)    What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global or
-        src/Makefile.custom?
-
-        The easiest way to do this is to use the customize script in
-        the src directory.
-
-        You *must* set the following variables:
-                PORTNAME=       irix5
-
-        You will also need to change the following to match your own
-        installation:
-                POSTGRESDIR
-
-        If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these:
-                TCL_INCDIR= 
-                TCL_LIBDIR= 
-                TCL_LIB = 
-                TK_INCDIR=
-                TK_LIBDIR=
-                TK_LIB =
-
-        You may also make any other changes you need as documented in
-        the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global
-
-1.3)    What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in
-        src/Makefile.global?
-
-        This was a problem in 1.08 (they are Sun Solaris specific). 
-        It is fixed in 1.09 and above.
-
-1.4)    Are there any other changes I should make?
-
-        If you have installed the GNU install program (ginstall), you
-        should add the following line to src/Makefile.custom:
-                CUSTOM_INSTALL=ginstall
-
-        For an explanation as to why this is a good idea, see Question 2.1
-        Ginstall is part of the GNU fileutils package.
-
-
-1.5)    Can I install PostgreSQL (<V6.3) under Irix 6.x?
-
-        Instructions for PostgreSQL V6.3 are answered in Question 1.10!
-
-        Irix 6.2-6.4 has a bug in ld which mishandles the addresses of
-        static procedures when object files are assembled into
-        larger object files using 'ld -r'. This bug has been reported
-        to Silicon Graphics. 
-
-        One option is to use the Gnu version of ld. Alternatively,
-        the following patch should be applied as a workaround.

-Date: Fri, 06 Jun 1997 17:12:20 -0400 (EDT)
-From: bruc@bms.com (Robert Bruccoleri)
-Subject: [PORTS] Patches for Irix 6.4
-
-I have worked out how to compile PostgreSQL on Irix 6.4 using the -n32 compiler
-mode and version 7.1 of the C compiler. (The n32 compiler use 32 bits addressing,
-but allows access to all the instructions in the MIPS4 instruction set.)
-There were several problems:
-
-1) The ld command is not referenced as a macro in all the Makefiles. On
-this platform, you have to include -n32 on all the ld commands. Makefiles
-were changed as needed.
-
-2) There is a bug in "ld" which mishandles the addresses of static procedures
-when object files are assembled into larger object files using "ld -r".
-Because of this, I put a hack into src/backend/Makefile to avoid all the
-SUBSYS.o files and just link all the objects. I have contacted SGI about the
-problem, and hopefully, it will be fixed in the near future.
-
-3) Lots of warnings are generated from the compiler. Since the regression
-tests worked OK, I didn't attempt to fix them. If anyone wants the compilation
-log, please let me know, and I'll email it to you.
-
-The version of postgresql was 970602. Here is Makefile.custom:
-
-CUSTOM_COPT = -O2 -n32
-MK_NO_LORDER = 1
-LD = ld -n32
-CC += -n32
-
-Here are the patches:

-1.9)    Why does lex fail with PostgreSQL 6.2.1?
-
-        IRIX 5.3 lex has been reported to fail in 
-        postgresql-6.2.1/src/backend/parser with the error:
-
-        lex scan.l
-        "scan.l":line 86: Error: Invalid request %x xc
-        gmake[2]: *** [scan.c] Error 1
-
-        The answer is to use GNU flex 2.5.4 or later. Use the command
-           flex --version
-        to check you have a new enough version of flex
-
-
-1.10)   How do I install PostgreSQL V6.3 under Irix 6.x?
-
-        Irix 6.2-6.4 has a bug in ld which mishandles the addresses of
-        static procedures when object files are assembled into
-        larger object files using 'ld -r'. This bug has been reported
-        to Silicon Graphics. 
-
-        Depending on your Irix installation you may also encounter
-        2 other problems detailed below: Conflict in C standards,
-        Conflict in library functions.
-
-        a) Solving the ld bug
-        ---------------------
-
-        One option is to use the Gnu version of ld. Alternatively,
-        the following patch should be applied as a workaround. 
-        (Supplied by Bob Bruccoleri <bruc@bms.com> and modified for
-        PostgreSQL V6.3 by Lasse Hiller Petersen <lassehp@imv.aau.dk>)
-
-        Apply the following patch:

-LD = ld -n32
-        
-        He reports that the installation without -n32 works fine too,
-        but the -n32 was required for compatibility with his Perl
-        installation. His system was an Origin200 running IRIX64 v6.4.
-
-
-        b) Conflict in C standards
-        --------------------------
-
-        I have found that the following patch is also necessary in order
-        to prevent a duplicate definition of a Union used for semaphores.
-        Apply the following patch to:
-        .../src/makefile/Makefile.irix5:
-

-
-        i.e. the addition of the line:
-        CFLAGS+= -U_NO_XOPEN4
-
-        This is needed to stop the semun union being redefined in
-        /usr/include/sys/sem.h
-
-        c) Conflict in library functions
-        --------------------------------
-
-        In addition, if you have the nsl and crypt libraries these will
-        conflict with the required definitions. I think that libnsl.a
-        may be the Netware socket library (or something similar). In
-        any case, if you have these libraries, they will be added to
-        Makefile.global and you will need to remove them.
-
-        Thus, you should edit .../src/Makefile.global. Goto (approximately)
-        line 217 where LDFLAGS= is set and remove -lnsl and -lcrypt
-        from this line.
-
-

-Section 2:      Deinstalling PostgreSQL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-2.1)    Why can't I move the executable files?
-
-        By default, the IRIX port uses the BSD compatible version of
-        install from /usr/bin/X11. If you read the man page for this
-        version of install, you will see that it is not meant for
-        end-user use; it has the interesting side-effect of chowning
-        files it installs to root.
-
-        You should still be able to delete the files as you (the
-        postgres user) will own the directory in which they are
-        stored.
-
-        The normal IRIX install program cannot be used easily as it
-        takes its arguments in the reverse order. It is therefore
-        recommended to use the GNU version of install (ginstall).
-        See Question 1.4

-Section 3:      Extending PostgreSQL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-3.1)    How do I compile a C program to create a function for extending
-        PostgreSQL
-
-        Here is a sample command line:
-
-        cc -I/usr/local/PostgreSQL/include/ -I/usr/local/PostgreSQL/src/backend 
-                -shared -o funcs.so funcs.c

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Section 1:      Compiling PostgreSQL
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-1.1)    What changes do I need to make to src/Makefile.global or
-        src/Makefile.custom and are there any other changes needed?
-
-	Changes to the makefiles are most easily made by running the 
-        customize shell script in the src directory which will write a
-	Makefile.custom for you.
-
-        The only other change you may have to make is to replace 
-        Flex if you have version 2.5.3 which has a bug which generally
-        manifests itself as createuser failing (See Question 3.4)
-
-        If you modify the makefiles by hand, you *must* set the 
-        following variable:
-                PORTNAME=       linux
-
-        You will also need to change the following to match your own
-        installation:
-                POSTGRESDIR
-
-        If you switch on the USE_TCL option, you will need to set these:
-                TCL_INCDIR=
-                TCL_LIBDIR=
-                TCL_LIB=
-                TK_INCDIR=
-                TK_LIBDIR=
-                TK_LIB=
-                X11_INCDIR=
-                X11_LIBDIR=
-                X11_LIB=
-
-        On my Slackware3.0 system, these are:
-                TCL_INCDIR=     /usr/include/tcl
-                TCL_LIBDIR=     /usr/lib
-                TCL_LIB=        -ltcl
-                TK_INCDIR=      /usr/include/tcl
-                TK_LIBDIR=      /usr/lib
-                TK_LIB=         -ltk
-                X11_INCDIR=     /usr/include/X11
-                X11_LIBDIR=     /usr/X386/lib
-                X11_LIB=        -lX11
- 
-        You may also make any other changes you need as documented in
-        the INSTALL file and in Makefile.global
-
-
-1.2)    Why do I get problems with missing libreadline?
-
-        Linux systems generally don't come with the GNU readline library
-        installed. Either ensure you do not activate the readline options
-        in src/Makefile.global or src/Makefile.custom or install the GNU 
-        readline library.
-
-        Note that Debian Linux (like FreeBSD) does come with readline
-        installed.
-
-1.3)    [REDHAT] Why do I get problems with missing libdl and dlfcn.h?
-
-        This manifests itself as being unable to link with functions
-        such as dlopen(), dlclose(), etc. during the last phase of the
-        compilation.
-
-        The libdl library is used for dynamic linking of user-supplied
-        functions at run-time. For some reason this library was missed out
-        from the Redhat distribution. It seems that the latest Redhat 4.0
-        (Colgate) fixes this.
-
-        RedHat now have a new ld.so RPM package on their FTP site.
-        Simply grab:
-
-                ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/devel/i386/RedHat/RPMS/ld.so-1.7.14-4.i386.rpm
-
-        Install the RPM file in the usual way and off you go!
-
-        NOTE! You will have to re-run configure and do a make clean
-        after installing the library and before recompiling.
-
-        There has been one report of a corrupted system resulting from
-        programs accessing these libraries while updating them (not
-        altogether surprising). Consequently it is a good idea to reboot 
-        the system before installing the new libraries and to
-        have as little running as possible during this upgrade. Going
-        into single-user mode is probably a good idea!
-
-        If you want to do it the hard way, you can obtain the library and the 
-        header file from:
-        
-                ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC/ld.so-1.7.14.tar.gz
-
-        Alternatively, you may find precompiled binaries in 
-        distributions/debian/buzz/binary-i386/base/ld.so-1.7.14-4.deb
-        on the same site, or follow the instructions given for question 1.2 for
-        correcting the same error with early releases of Slackware 3.1.
-        Don't use this method unless you know what you are doing!
-
-
-
-1.4)    [SLACKWARE 3.1] Why do I get problems with missing libdl and dlfcn.h?
-
-        This manifests itself as being unable to link with functions
-        such as dlopen(), dlclose(), etc. during the last phase of the
-        compilation.
-
-        See the answer to question 1.3. Slackware up to version 3.0 was 
-        supplied with this library and include file and they seem to be
-        back in again in the latest versions of 3.1, but the early 3.1
-        releases (before 9th September 1996) had them missing and many 
-        CD-ROM versions will have been pressed from the first 3.1 releases.
-
-        There has been one report of a corrupted system resulting from
-        programs accessing these libraries while updating them (not
-        altogether surprising). Consequently it is a good idea to reboot 
-        the system before installing the new libraries and to
-        have as little running as possible during this upgrade. Going
-        into single-user mode is probably a good idea!
-
-        The easiest fix is to obtain the file ldso.tgz from the a4 disk of
-        a more recent Slackware distribution and unpack this file
-        from the root (/) directory, then do
-
-                sh install/doinst.sh
-
-        to complete the installation. Follow this with
-
-                ldconfig
-
-        NOTE! You will have to re-run configure and do a make clean
-        after installing the library and before recompiling.
-
-        If you want to install manually, you must first install the file
-        dlfcn.h in /usr/include.
-
-        Second, install the file libdl.so.1.7.14 (or whatever the latest
-        release is) in /lib, then do:
-
-                cd /lib
-                ln -sf libdl.so.1.7.14 libdl.so.1
-                ln -sf libdl.so.1 libdl.so
-
-        On some systems (depending on your GCC configuration) it may be
-        necessary to do:
-
-                cd /usr/lib
-                ln -sf /lib/libdl.so .
-
-        Finally
-
-                ldconfig
-
-        NOTE! You will have to re-run configure and do a make clean
-        after installing the library and before recompiling.
-
-
-1.5)    My compile of the backend dies complaining about the include file 
-        dlfcn.h missing
-
-        See the answer to question 1.3/1.4. Don't forget that if you are using
-        an a.out system you must first have installed the dld package
-        (which is not supplied with most a.out systems) to have dlfcn.h
-        at all. See Question 1.11.
-
-
-1.6)    GCC complains about an ignored option -fpic
-
-        Earlier versions of GCC accepted either -fpic or -fPIC.
-        It appears that more recent versions (V2.7.2?) require -fPIC. 
-        If you are using an ELF version of Linux, this can safely be 
-        ignored as -fPIC is the default.
-
-        You can correct this by editing src/Makefile.global and 
-        changing CFLAGS_SL
-
-
-1.7)    I get warnings of the form 
-        warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
-
-        These were seen in earlier versions of Postgres95 and could
-        safely be ignored. PostgreSQL V6.0 should compile with no warnings
-        except those related to system header files (which can also
-        be safely ignored).
-
-1.8)    [SuSE-Linux 4.2-4.4] Where is curses and termcap?
-
-        SuSE-Linux 4.2 has ncurses but not curses. 4.4 appears to have both.
-        SuSE-Linux also has the termcap library is in /usr/lib/termcap 
-        instead of in /usr/lib.
-
-        PostgreSQL (up to V6.0)
-        -----------------------
-        Set the value of CURSES_LIB in src/Makefile.custom to -lncurses 
-        (or do this through the customize script).
-        Add the following line to src/Makefile.custom:
-
-                LDADD_BE+= -L/usr/lib/termcap
-
-        You may need to edit src/bin/psql/Makefile and change:
-                ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
-                   LD_ADD+=
-        to:
-                ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
-                   LD_ADD+= -ltermcap
-
-        PostgreSQL (V6.1)
-        -----------------
-        The configure script doesn't know to look in /usr/lib/termcap for
-        the termcap library, so you should specify this as one of the
-        library directories when asked for additional directories to
-        search.
-
-        If this doesn't work (I don't have SuSE to verify that it does)
-        then after running configure, you need to edit
-        src/Makefile.global and add -ltermcap to the LDFLAGS line
-        (after -lreadline). (Alternatively, you can modify 
-        src/Makefile.custom before running configure.)
-
-        Some versions of SuSE provide only ncurses, so you may need
-        to force use of ncurses rather than curses by changing 
-        -lcurses to -lncurses. (Reported true for SuSE 5.1)
-
-
-1.9)    Why do I get problems with ld.so?
-
-        If you get problems with ld.so, another library required under
-        ELF for dynamic loading, then you have messed up your installation
-        or (more likely) upgrade of Linux.
-
-        See the answers to Question 1.3/1.4. You may need to install
-        ld.so.x.y.z in /lib and run ldconfig.
-
-        The most recent stable release of the ld package is 1.7.14
-        At the time of writing, 1.8.x versions of ld are experimental.
-
-1.10)   Why do I get `yy_flush_buffer undefined' errors?
-
-        This isn't really Linux specific, but is common on older Linux
-        installations. You must have a recent version of flex (2.5.2 or later)
-        to compile PostgreSQL. Note that flex 2.5.3 has a bug: see
-        Question 3.4.
-
-1.11)   How do I compile PostgreSQL on an a.out system?
-
-        First, you must install the dld library. This may be obtained
-        from Sunsite as:
-        Linux/libs/dld.3.2.7.tar.gz
-        (ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/libs/dld.3.2.7.tar.gz)
-
-        Second, add the following line to src/Makefile.custom:
-                LINUX_ELF=
-        (or use the customize script)
-
-1.12)   Why does make fail with:
-        yacc -d /disk2/PostgreSQL/src/backend/parser/gram.y
-        make: /usr/bin/make: cannot execute binary file
-
-        This was a problem in earlier versions of Postgres95. The default
-        for PostgreSQL is to use bison -y rather than yacc.
-
-        yacc is generally implemented as a script which invokes bison -y
-        For some reason (certain versions of make? certain versions of 
-        bash?) make is unable to execute this script file.
-
-        To correct this, simply edit src/mk/port/postgres.mk.linux
-        and, at the end of the file, change:
-                # YACC = bison -y
-        to
-                YACC = bison -y
-
-1.13)   What are the references in X11_LIB to libsocket and libnsl in
-        src/Makefile.global?
-
-        This was a problem in 1.08 (they are Sun Solaris specific). 
-        It is fixed in 1.09 and 6.0
-
-1.14)   [DEBIAN] Where is libtermcap?
-
-        Debian Linux comes without the termcap library and uses ncurses
-        (which uses terminfo instead). There is no need to change the 
-        CURSES_LIB variable in src/bin/psql/Makefile since Debian provides 
-        a link from libncurses to libcurses (unlike SuSE-Linux --- see
-        Question 1.8).
-
-        You may need to edit src/bin/psql/Makefile and comment out the
-        change:
-                ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
-                   LD_ADD+= -ltermcap
-        to:
-                ifeq ($(PORTNAME), linux)
-                   LD_ADD+=
-
-
-1.15)   [REDHAT] Can I get PostgreSQL as an RPM?
-
-        Yes! Michal Mosiewicz <mimo@lodz.pdi.net>
-        (http://www.pdi.lodz.pl/~mimo) has kindly put together an RPM
-        for PostgreSQL V6.0 on Intel architectures which he has uploaded to 
-        ftp://ftp.redhat.org/pub/Incoming/Postgres-6.0-1.i386.rpm
-
-        This is a pre-compiled version, the source RPM is on its
-        was as I write (3rd Feb 1997).
-
-1.16)   While trying to compile a development version under Linux, compilation
-        fails with a message like:
-        In file included from /usr/include/sys/sem.h:8,
-                 from ipc.c:37:
-        /usr/include/asm/bitops.h:32: warning: no previous prototype for Set_bit'
-        ....
-        make: *** [ipc.o] Error 1
-
-        The problem is that Linux provides no prototypes for these
-        inline functions. The solution is to go into the 
-        .../src/backend/storage/ipc directory and edit the Makefile.
-        Change the line
-           CFLAGS+=$(INCLUDE_OPT)
-        to
-           CFLAGS+=$(INCLUDE_OPT) -Wno-error
-
-        Do the same in the ../src/backend/storage/lmgr directory.
-
-1.17)   When compiling postgres, gcc reports signal 11 and aborts.
-        More specifically:
-           gcc: Internal compiler error: program cc1 got fatal 
-                signal 11
-
-        This may be a hardware/memory problem. PortgreSQL is a big
-        program, and large gcc compilations (such as building
-        PostgreSQL or bebuilding the kernel) stress memory like 
-        few other programs, resulting in errors that do not occur
-        in normal operation. Lesser operating systems are also
-        unlikely to stress the hardware to this degree so you
-        may never see any problems under DOS/Windows.
-
-        More information on this problem at:
-           http://www.bitwizard.nl/sig11
-
-1.18)   Can I install 6.1.1 under MkLinux?
-
-        Tatsuo Ishii <t-ishii@sra.co.jp> has done this under 
-        MkLinux DR2.1 update2 after a small patch available from:
-        ftp://ftp.sra.co.jp/pub/cmd/postgres/6.1.1/mklinux.patch.gz
-
-1.19)   Why does make exit or crash?
-
-        There have been a couple of reports of gmake either just
-        exiting early or seg faulting. The latter problem was reported
-        with gmake 3.74 - upgrading to 3.76.1 solved the problem. 
-        However, 3.74 is known to work fine in other people's setups.
-        In short, try upgrading gmake to the latest version you can 
-        find before reporting this as a problem
-
-1.20)   How can I optimise for 486 or pentium processors
-
-        The default compiler flags perform no optimisation for 486
-        or Pentium processors. To add such optimisation, edit
-        Makefile.custom and add:
-
-           CFLAGS+= -m486
-
-        or (for the new compilers that most people are not yet running)
-
-           CFLAGS+= -mpentium
-        or
-           CFLAGS+= -mpentiumpro
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Section 2:      Compiling accessory programs
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-2.1)    The linker fails to find libX11 when compiling pgtclsh
-
-        Add the following to src/Makefile.custom
-                X11_LIBDIR = /usr/X11R6/lib
-
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Section 3:      Runtime Problems
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-3.1)    I get an error reporting _fUnKy_POSTPORT_sTuFf_ undefined when 
-        running scripts like createuser
-
-        This is a bug in V1.06-V1.07 of Postgres and is fixed in V1.08
-        and above.
-
-3.2)    I run postmaster and after that system says 'Bad system call(Core 
-        dumped)'
-
-        This indicates that you have not compiled shared memory support 
-        into your kernel. You need to recompile the Linux kernel to add this 
-        feature.
-
-
-3.3)    When I try to start the Postmaster, why do I get an error of the form
-        Failed Assertion("!(file != 0):(null)", File: 
-        "/usr/local/PostgreSQL/src/backend/storage/file/fd.c", Line: 257)
-        !(file != 0) (0)
-        initdb: could not create template database
-        initdb: cleaning up.
-
-        Your permissions on the file /dev/null are wrong. 
-
-        ls -l /dev/null should give you something like:
-
-                crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel    2,   2 Oct  8 18:41 /dev/null
-
-        Correct the permissions using:
-
-                chmod a+rw /dev/null
-
-3.4)    Why doesn't createuser work?
-
-        There is a problem with Version 2.5.3 of GNU flex and createuser. 
-        Your options are to downgrade flex to V2.5.2, upgrade to V2.5.4
-        or apply a patch to V2.5.3 which is supplied in doc/README.flex
-        You may obtain V2.5.4 from
-        ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/flex-2.5.4.tar.gz
-
-3.5)    Why do I get an error like:
-        IpcMemoryCreate: memKey=155356396 , size=760632 ,
-        permission=384IpcMemoryCreate: shmget(..., create, ...)
-        failed: Invalid argument
-
-        You haven't build IPC support into your Linux kernel. You
-        will have to rebuild the kernel and switch on this option.
-
-3.6)    Why does psql fail with:
-        psql: can't load library 'libpq.so.1'
-
-	Psql has been compiled to link dynamically with the libpq
-	library.
-
-	To solve this, you should log in as root and edit the file
-		/etc/ld.so.conf
-	Add a single line at the end which gives the name of the
-	PostgreSQL library directory (the lib subdirectory of your
-	PostgreSQL installation) and run
-		/sbin/ldconfig -v
-
-        Alternatively, (and if you don't have root access), you may
-        use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
-
-        The LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable contains a colon separated list of
-        paths to be searched for shared libraries.  This list is 
-        searched before the libraries specified by ldconfig.
-
-        Therefore under Bash, you would do something like:
-                export LD_LIBRARY_PATH='PathToPGSQL'/lib
-        or, using tcsh
-                setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH 'PathToPGSQL'/lib
-        replacing 'PathToPGSQL' with the appropriate path to your top level
-        PostgreSQL directory
-
-        Note that the ldd command can be used on a dynamically linked
-        executable to list the paths to all the shared libraries upon
-        which the executable depends.
-
-
-3.7)    Other strange behaviour
-
-        I'm not sure what the symptoms might be except for nothing 
-        working properly, but it has been pointed out that one needs
-        to be careful that the dynamic loader loads the correct version
-        of the libpq library. If you have old versions lying around
-        in your library path (for example in /usr/lib) these may get
-        loaded instead of the new version you intended to load. Make
-        sure you get them out of the way and look at Q3.6 for 
-        details of loading libraries.
-
-3.8)    When PostgreSQL is running when the system is shutdown, Linux
-        always fsck's the disk when rebooted.
-
-        There have been some reports of this happening and it seems
-        to be a result of running PostgreSQL from /etc/inittab as
-        suggested in the INSTALL document.
-
-        You are therefore recommended to start the postmaster from an
-        rc script. Under a Slackware-like release, you would modify
-        /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start the postmaster. Under a RedHat-like
-        release you should create a SysV style script in 
-        /etc/rc.d/rc3.d based on the /etc/rc.d/init.d skeleton file.
-
-        There's a sample file in contrib/linux/postgres.init
-
-        Here's another sample file supplied by John Robinson 
-        <john@intelligent.co.uk> which you should modify as needed:
-
-#!/bin/sh
-#
-# postgreSQL.init This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
-#               the PostgreSQL postmaster.
-#
-
-# Source function library.
-. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
-
-# Source networking configuration.
-. /etc/sysconfig/network
-
-# Check that networking is up.
-[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0
-
-# See how we were called.
-case "$1" in
-  start)
-        # Start daemons.
-        echo -n "Starting postgres Postmaster daemon:"
-        if [ -z "`pidofproc postmaster`" ]
-        then
-                su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/postmaster -D /home/postgreSQL/data -p 5432 &"
-                echo -n " postmaster"
-        else
-                echo -n " (already running)"
-        fi
-        echo
-        touch /var/lock/subsys/postgres
-        ;;
-  stop)
-        # Stop daemons.
-        echo -n "Shutting down postgres Postmaster daemon: "
-        killall -TERM postmaster 2>/dev/null
-        killall -TERM postgres 2>/dev/null
-        echo
-        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/postgres
-        ;;
-  *)
-        echo "Usage: postgres {start|stop}"
-        exit 1
-esac
-
-exit 0
-
-
-
-3.9)    Why does Query 32 in the regression tests take so long?
-
-        This is due to a bug in regression scripts which only happens
-        on linux boxes. There are two workarounds as far as I know
-        (information from Tatsuo Ishii <t-ishii@sra.co.jp>):
-
-        1. change following in regress.sh:
-                time postgres -texecutor -tplanner -Q bench < bench.sql
-        to:
-                postgres -texecutor -tplanner -Q bench < bench.sql
-
-        2. after running the test, remove a line at the very end of
-        bench.out something like:
-                85.86user 114.47system 4:49.20elapsed 69%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
-        then type:
-                sh ./perquery < bench.out > & bench.out.perquery
-
-
-
-3.10)   Why do I get funny rounding results in some date/time arithmetic,
-        such as
-           select '4 hours'::timespan;
-        returning '3 hours 59 minutes 60 seconds'?
-
-        You are running the new glibc2 libraries and have a version earlier than
-        2.0.7. It is a math rounding problem in the library. Upgrade your library.

-CHANGES IN THE 6.3 RELEASE
+CHANGES IN THE 6.4 RELEASE
 --------------------------
 
-There are some general 6.3 issues that I want to mention.  These are
-only the big items that can not be described in one sentence.
-
-First, we now have subselects.  Now that we have them, I would like to
-mention that without subselects, SQL is a very limited language.
-Subselects are a major feature, and you should review your code for
-places where subselects provide a better solution for your queries.  I
-think you will find that there are more uses for subselects than you may
-think.  Vadim has put us on the big SQL map with subselects, and fully
-functional ones too.  The only thing you can't do with subselects is to
-use them in the target list.
-
-Second, 6.3 uses unix domain sockets rather than TCP/IP by default.  To
-enable connections from other machines, you have to use the new
-postmaster -i option, and of course edit pg_hba.conf.  Also, for this
-reason, the format of pg_hba.conf has changed.
-
-Third, char() fields will now allow faster access than varchar() or
-text. Specifically, the text and varchar() have a penalty for access to
-any columns after the first column of this type.  char() used to also
-have this access penalty, but it no longer does.  This may suggest that
-you redesign some of your tables, especially if you have short character
-columns that you have defined as varchar() or text.  This and other
-changes make 6.3 even faster than earlier releases.
-
-We now have passwords definable independent of any Unix file.  There are
-new SQL USER commands.  See the pg_hba.conf manual page for more
-information.  There is a new table, pg_shadow, which is used to store
-user information and user passwords, and it by default only SELECT-able
-by the postgres super-user.  pg_user is now a view of pg_shadow, and is
-SELECT-able by PUBLIC.  You should keep using pg_user in your
-application without changes.
-
-User-created tables now no longer have SELECT permission to PUBLIC by
-default.  This was done because the ANSI standard requires it.  You can
-of course GRANT any permissions you want after the table is created. 
-System tables continue to be SELECT-able by PUBLIC.
-
-We also have real deadlock detection code.  No more sixty-second
-timeouts.  And the new locking code implements a FIFO better, so there
-should be less resource starvation during heavy use.
-
-Many complaints have been made about inadequate documenation in previous
-releases.  Thomas has put much effort into many new manuals for this
-release.  Check out the /doc directory.
-
-For performance reasons, time travel is gone, but can be implemented
-using triggers (see pgsql/contrib/spi/README).  Please check out the new
-\d command for types, operators, etc.  Also, views have their own
-permissions now, not based on the underlying tables, so permissions on
-them have to be set separately.  Check /pgsql/interfaces for some new
-ways to talk to PostgreSQL.
-
-This is the first release that really required an explaination for
-existing users.  In many ways, this was necessary because the new
-release removes many limitations, and the work-arounds people were using
-are no longer needed.
-
